The envoys sent by the Holy Crusaders of the Orthodox Church negotiated with Frederick II about the whereabouts of Peter the Great.
Neither side has negotiated a common outcome.
Frederick II did not want to hand over Little Peter to the Orthodox Church. He was the royal family of Sweden, and the Orthodox Church was the state religion of Tsarist Russia. Why should he hand over Little Peter to the Tsarist Russians?
The two sides were in a stalemate, with no result.
The Orthodox mission came up with a solution.
Since Frederick II did not hand over little Peter, they exposed the matter.
At that time, the Orthodox Holy Crusaders will launch their army and directly attack Prussia.
Forced Frederick II to hand over little Peter.
Soon, the whole of Europe learned that Frederick II had held the Swedish royal family hostage.
Countless people criticized Frederick II's behavior with words and writings.
Even Prussia expressed strong dissatisfaction with Frederick II's actions.
The pressure from public opinion is increasing.
This made the nobles in Prussia feel something was wrong. They didn't care about the chaos outside or how Prussia was judged.
However, this move directly affected the domestic public.
Moreover, Frederick II actually wanted them to hide Peter's identity, which was the most intolerable thing.
Some nobles and parliamentarians jointly visited Frederick II.
"Great Emperor, if little Peter was the Swedish royal family, we should have made preparations earlier instead of ending up in this situation."
"Yes, that's right. Although we have received help from Long Yan, our Prussian state is still in danger."
"He is the Swedish royal family, maybe we can..."
Frederick II was furious: "What can you do? Involve such a young child in the war?"
"There is nothing wrong with little Peter being a member of the Swedish royal family, but I will never allow you to use this to achieve certain cooperation with the Swedish royal family."
Frederick II stared at everyone, and what he was most worried about happened.
He originally wanted to negotiate privately with Sweden to achieve his goals, but he didn't expect it to end up in such a situation that everyone knew about.
"Your Majesty, even if Little Peter is not handed over to the Orthodox Church, the current pressure from public opinion has affected the country. This matter must be explained no matter what."
Frederick II snorted coldly: "We in Prussia are still afraid of being scolded? Tell the King of Sweden that I will hand over little Peter to him."
Everyone was silent. Even though there was an uproar in the country, they still wanted to use Little Peter in exchange for more benefits.
"It will never be handed over to the Orthodox Church."
Seeing Frederick II's tough attitude, everyone could only give up. It was a pity to hand over such a good chess piece like Little Peter.
Soon Prussia announced that little Peter would be handed over to the Swedish royal family rather than to Tsarist Russia.
Once this was announced, there was an uproar in Europe.
Some people think that Frederick II made the right choice and Peter the Younger should not be involved in the war.
Some people thought that Frederick II was cowardly and even agreed to hand over Peter the Younger, an enemy royal family.
After King Adolf of Sweden got the news, his expression was extremely complicated. He didn't know that little Peter was still alive.
After little Peter disappeared last time, he thought that his most beloved grandson had died in the war.
In any case, he never expected that not only did little Peter not die, but he was in the hands of Frederick II.
