"The Armies of France are marching to liberate the Iberian Peninsular from the Hands of the perfidious British and their vile Allies with the official blessing of the Holy See!"
The British again thinking Therese has out played them again with making the pope her bitch and using said pope for the situation in Spain to France's advantage and to screw the British again.
"My God, she did it again. We need to write this stuff down so people know how bad this Bitch is."
Oh can't forget the industry therese is setting up that make the French army even more powerful and gets them some good money.

Considering that Nappy's Doctrine is all about Movement, maneuver and being very good at picking the battlefield, that might cause some friction amongst our styles.
But he might see the usage of having a lot of firepower.
Well, Doctors Orders. Also... Well, It's going to be a dangerous birth.
They are surprised outrage then "Oh god, what the fuck!" Outrage.
INB4 this becomes a Vietnam situation.
The People of France really want the pope to crock.
Just so the Holy See can be lead, by a child of France again.
Oh they love her.
Careful.
Also, We can now Safely say that Therese is the mother of the Bouiguase.
indeed.
So how rich is Thérèse Auclair now with 2 very successful business?

HAHAHAHAHAHAH! IT'S BEAUTIFUL
French industrial revolution is go go go!
this roll is just impeccable. True highlight of the turn.
Also glad the adoption went well, though we haven't seen Louis's reaction. I am highly amused by the royalists though, vaguely approving while being highly confused about this extremely roundabout way of putting their king on the throne, though I doubt it will work out that way.

Good, now to use that Wealth to gain even more Wealth, or maybe use it to hire some merc army to help France and pirates to raid our foes ships and coasts

Well, its not "We're going de thronr britian as an industral power" But it's a start.
We just need Nappy to open up the Market and let the Capitalists do their thing.
Indeed.
They are really trying to... justify the crazy shit that is happening in Paris, and think about it...
They think he'll accept being the Heir.
THe irony.
That is going to be difficult, as French law prohibits the use of mercenaries right now.
we haven't found the Foreign legions.
Well then its time for this Q to become a business Q, what about having a Retinue? do nobles still have a retinue?
Maybe should also invest into the French Colonial Empire, French Louisiana is still in our hands or maybe start up the French East India Company again,

Louisiana is currently under American occupation, same as Florida due to...
The Americas becoming an inferno of War.
Plus there is a king in Mexico and new spain now... so there is that.

Welp, Portugal just got added to our sphere of influence, also with Spanish royal family running away and Holy Father in our control we actually have everything we need to pacify Spain, not to mention adding Portugal to the new crown of Spain will just further increase its legitimacy.
Regarding French industrial revolution, our latest roll might actually make continental system work as main flaw was that French product were more expensive than British ones , extra cherry on top if we draw resources we need to fuel our industry from Europe.

The British are kinda in a tough situation. Losing colonizes is very bad for their economy. Add in them losing a lot lately the British must not be happy. Failing in America possibly, India and Europe isn't a good look.
Also good on the French ships in India hurting the British. Curious where the other French ships are and what they are doing.

So am I correct to assume that Spanish crown controls most of Spanish colonial empire minus mainland and Florida .

Well... no they aren;t not yet at least. The Bits are trying to secure the Portuguese northern flank, and the Portuguese are trying to secure themselves from the chaos that is Spain.
I shall say this. You will not be able to make your goods cheaper then the brits, not yet.
But you can minigate the trade deficits on other nations.
Well, on paper they are, but they are still very much in control of all none indian colonies and are taking far more from the Spanish.
They are doing negligable damadge property wise... but morale wise, the Brits are scared.
But we have Wellington and Sharpe to worry about.
For now, yes.So am I correct to assume that Spanish crown controls most of Spanish colonial empire minus mainland and Florida .
They lost Florida and are losing Louisiana.
The British are invading Cuba and other Spanish carribian islands, but... And that is the key word, they are workign with the Hatians to hold them.
However, they are willing to make deals with the Americans and Hatians to fight the Brits, who are trying to invade them...
That has to be resolve as they are technically still French territory, and it looks bad for us

It's become such a legal quagmire that it will take a conference dictating the legality of all situations... after the war with Britian.
Because many things have been thrown out the window, changing of sides and the Americans being absolutely paranoid of the potential British invasion that they belive is coming.

... can we sneak an army into Britain? They surely are occupied with other things like fighting the Americas and trying to keep India, and talking about that, ¿how much is their economy suffering if they are losing the war in India?
For now it looks good on paper. Thing is what is on the paper isn't always the reality of the situation. Not to mention New Spain and USA working together is pretty dangerous. Not to mention French colonies forting up to make it harder.
Hey breaking their morale can basically make them leave thinking it not worth it or just trying to save themselves.
They are dangerous yes. They can be beaten though depending on what both sides have and are willing to do.

Absolutely impossible.
Now that I say that, the option will appear because HOly shit I jinxed it.
As for India, that news may not be accurate.
The only thing I say that will be accurate is Sharpe saved Wellington's Life.

Personally, regarding the Spanish big win for them Regarding Florida is to get some sort of monetary compensation for it , same for us, I'm willing to sell Louisiana and agree to trade in exchange for America agreeing to pay back their debts to France when former monarchist government financed their revolution.

Also remember when i said we should find peace with Prussia by giving them Germany? Well forget it, we go with what Nappy did and go full continental system, only country we need to have good relationship with is Russia and even then it's non aggression pact and agreement that we won't mix in each other's spheres, everyone else go under French boot.
Because while new balance of power may bring us long term peace and be in our favor at the same time it also means that long term if things go right for them we will be eclipsed by Russia, Holy Spanish Empire and US, plus balance of power may turn against us.
European hegemony all the way baby!

Just because History has been altered does not mean there will be peace.
The marshals will get their Baton's.
And we will deal with numerous coalitions and things we need to do, before 1821, when the quest will end.
