Baron Stein immediately said, "The worse our financial situation is, the more we need a war. At least it allows soldiers to 'find some profit' on the battlefield to compensate for their delayed wages."
Yes, because Prussia withdrew from the war earlier and remained basically stable domestically, it has barely regained its footing by now.
Just as Austria surrendered, a rebellion broke out domestically, and having lost the Southern Netherlands and Northern Italy severely weakened it. The Prussians immediately caught the scent of prey.
To be honest, compared to France, they are more concerned about Austria as the more direct opponent.
If they could defeat Austria in Silesia, its leadership position in the Germanic region might end, and Prussia would naturally rise to the top.
And not only Silesia.
If the campaign goes well, the Prussian Army could advance into Bohemia, Moravia, and even Vienna...
