Fredrik Adolf is described as a rather meek man. I find it very strange that the oldest son of the King would go anywhere - he IS the heir and would be kept on a tight leash. I demand Gustav III and Gustav IV Adolf. 
Both were enlightened autocrats semi-useless in war but, especially in the case of Gustav IV Adolf, skilled administrators. Gustav IV Adolf would, with the recent victories, have all the prestige he needs to force land shifts through.
Chydenius was a learned man who loved academia. I am sure he would have created some kind of "administration" school, similar to military cadet schools - using that specific argument would probably fly well with von Lastinghausen and those that followed in government.
Indelningsverket produced 76 000 men in the mobilisation 1700, and that is without the former Danish provinces (Skåne, Blekinge, Halland), Kexholm, Estonia or Livonia being part of the system. Adding those provinces (Riga was Sweden's largest ciity 1629-1710) to the system, and considering an increase in agrcultural output (that Chydenius would surely use to add more rotar to the same amount of land) and population during the last 100 years would extrapolate to something like this.
As for a navy, as long as there is another navy in the Baltic, Sweden will need one. One cannot always trust the good-humoured nature of the Danies. In order to protect the supply routes to and from Pommeriana and Estonia and Livonia, the Swedes will need a powerful navy - even if crewed by "peasants dipped in salt water".
