Dutch Empire becomes a great power

Spanish-Dutch war part 2

Netherlands pov

Colonially we are winning the battle but in the mainland a new offensive had nearly pushed us back which has panicked my high command. So we are pulling troops colonially to aid us in combating the French who are pushing us especially when we got reports of our weapons in their hands which meant that somehow one of our soldiers lost it and now they are replicating it combined with mass production of it meaning this war will be even bloodier now.

Dutch East Indies pov

The Spanish Philippines is beginning to quickly start falling into our hands as I recently landed on the colony of Spain. With my troops rushing down the Spanish colony especially thanks to the aid of rebels in the colony which we are aiding under the condition we let them free which we promised to do without a second thought in our mind.

Spanish Empire pov

We are losing the colonial front with Spanish Philippines on the verge of capitulation with the South American fronts getting pushed back a bit in the more bottom part in our occupied territories of Dutch Argentina. Within Africa the Dutch colonies are holding on tight with my attempts and French attempts failing to enter but if they did they would get kicked out within a day at most. In Europe though the French gave me some weapons they are producing to produce myself which now being equipped I've seen success in pushing in the Rhineland with the Dutch nearly allowing us to break through their line of defenses which should sure scare them. Hopefully I can turn the tide in my colonial fronts once I get them properly supplied with these black staves which will easily be able to even the odds if I am guessing it correctly.

Dutch Argentina pov

With the Spanish and French now having black staves we have been focused on improving them so we can counter this new boost in their military. But we took back all of my land after 5 months of hard fighting contributing 50k losses to the Spanish colonies in South America. So we began to set up defenses while strengthening supply lines so we can hold the line to the best of our ability while inflicting as much damage to the Spanish as I can commit to.

German Federation pov

The push of the French has cost me numerous of the industrial cities I need for my economics but the Dutch have been bankrolling me to keep me from hitting negative for money making which is helping for now. We also managed to hold them off now with plans of pushing them back as pressure is reaching the Netherlands meaning they might end of stopping the bankroll so I knew a need to push would be required to counter this fight.

Austrian Empire pov

With the Spanish and French fighting the Dutch while even pushing the Germans back I was the only one not doing well against the Germans right now. So I decided to prepare an offensive to kill Bohemia to injure the German morale and if I am lucky German states may attempt to leave the Federation breaking their morale even further. If it does end up not causing a fall of the stability of the German Federation it will boost the morale of the Austrian army which is very needed as we have held the line but any pushes never worked anymore.

Dutch Brazil pov

I colonized a bit more until I had reached some part of Dutch Argentina in which I decided to stop then began to focus upon stabilization of my new lands. I knew this would help fund the war a lot more while allowing us to contribute to the defense of Dutch Argentina with a possible invasion of Dutch Argentina to make it an even tougher fight for the Spanish. I also made sure I had enough of an army to defend my own nation in case the Spanish colonies decide to colonize to reach me so I will be able to hold the line for backup and possibly beat them back allowing me to occupy some new lands then annex them in the future. My navy has expanded due to the new lands for the coast allowing the naval situation to be pushed on our side even more as the Dutch navy is practically carrying the entire naval effort for the war meaning a boost in it would allow us to be more spread causing more losses to trade for the Spanish or French which would help us in the long term especially if we steal said supplies.

French Empire pov

My colonies are not under invasion but the attacks in Germany and the Benelux were successful initially but costly but now it is both as both are now focused on holding me off. The naval situation is not on our side as the Dutch navy combined with their colonial navies are dominating my own navy no matter how many my side has. I suspected a possibility of pushing into the Rhineland to hopefully get the Germans to give up to our demands which would be war reps and the annexation of German Gujarat which would boost my strong economy even more than it is right now.
