Upon hearing this, Queen Mary immediately turned to Archbishop Brienne, "My brother is currently troubled by illness, and such events are unfolding in the Southern Netherlands. I believe we should help him deal with the rebellion."
She folded her hands in contemplation, "The Dutch should have significant influence over the Southern Netherlands, and we have been supporting the Dutch Patriot Party all along. It is time for them to reciprocate."
Archbishop Brienne immediately nodded, "Of course, Your Majesty, but in fact, I think His Majesty Joseph II could easily suppress the few thousand rioters in Brabant."
Joseph recalled the information about the Brabant uprising, but his brow furrowed.
This was not a rebellion Austria could easily resolve!
