Peace Aims and Negotiations Amid War Turmoil
The Queen pursues a just and reasonable peace to relieve subjects from war burdens. Chancellor mediators and envoys, including Count Lilienfahr, pursue terms with Emperor and Cz, while Hanover's Bafewitz pressures Bremer and Verden. The Cz fleet seeks coercive terms but is rebuffed as dishonorable and unacceptable to the nation.
