War Developments From Naples To Dresden In Early April
Reports detail shifting military plans across Italy and Germany. Troop movements toward Capua and Gaeta are now ordered to St Germano with about 10000 German troops, while 2000 recruits arrive from Trieste for Mani offer. Viceroy warns of urgent funds and captures of officials suspected of Spanish liaison as Paris and Vienna discuss potential joint action. In Hamburg, fear of Russian artillery and naval preparations near Prussia grows, while Milan reports Villars marching to Mantua with the army. Brussels notes large Austrian matériel and French forces seen near the Rhine. Observers in The Hague speculate on Augustus’s Dresden return amid a broader European balance of power.
