Re: Andrew Mitchell: The Return

When G2 was staying in Hannover in 1755, Fritz hinted he could visit, and G2 was all NO NO NO DO NOT WANT to his ministers, who had to tone it down and massage it into a diplomatic reply.

Hee!

and Fritz then wrote a letter to cousin G3 which G3 called the most impertinent and insulting letter he ever read, felt personally enraged and from this point onwards loathed Fritz as well. (G3, you have the American rebels still ahead of you, calm down.)

ahahahaha! I find this hilarious.

Doran points out Fritz lucked out that his much cherished scheme to get the Turks into an alliance so they'd attack either the Russians or Austrians or preferably both came to nothing, because if Russia had been in a war with Turkey when Peter III. came to the throne, even (P)RussianPete surely could not have switched allegiances

Huh! That's interesting. Fritz saved by his own failure :P
