From Ai Hayasaka's point of view, the three core circles are the "Kinki" region, which jointly defend France's "capital" status.These are the fruitful results brought about by the disintegration of the anti-French alliance, and the basic plate of France's economic strategy.What is Northern Europe on the fringes in comparison?The Kingdom of Sweden is really not popular.
In a word, allies outside the inner circle are paid for their phone calls.
This group of unscrupulous wine and meat friends, don't want to reap a meal now, can't we wait for them to hold back later?
Although she was plotting plots and tricks in her heart, Hayasaka Ai kept her face calm and said very kindly, "On behalf of France, I promise to His Majesty that I will try my best to satisfy the allies' requests for help."
"My request is very simple, lift the crisis of the Kingdom of Sweden and restore Stockholm."
"As far as I know, your country is not yet at the point of subjugation..."
"Not long ago."
A flash of fear flashed in the king's eyes, his whole body was tense, his legs trembled, obviously evoked a very terrifying memory.
Hayasaka's heart moved, and she became more and more curious about what happened to the Kingdom of Sweden, where information flow is difficult?
"Ivan the Terrible personally conquered Sweden, and his army of monsters flattened every large city on the Nordic peninsula. The flames of war continued, and countless casualties. The first tsar, Ivan the Terror, the powerful god is back."
"He uses magic power to combine his body with a mountain monster. Once he activates his skills, he will become as tall as the Kremlin. I saw him smash the city wall with a punch. The blizzard is just raindrops, the Baltic Sea is just a beach, Ivan the Terrible destroyed the Kingdom of Sweden It's just a matter of time and he can do it on his own."
"In fact, if your country hadn't held back the main force of Tsarist Russia on the Minsk battlefield, Ivan the Terrible would have annihilated Sweden long ago. Now he must either return home or station himself."
After speaking, the king let out a long breath, as if he had aged 20 years old.
Sweden has unfortunately become a victim of this battle of the century, as has Poland.
Ai Hayasaka raised her vigilance when she heard the words, and she was keenly aware that the continuous emergence of historical figures represented an omen.
- Epic mode.
Although Europa Universalis, as a full-server dungeon, is definitely different from the personal plot, the precursors of the epic mode's chaos have already appeared.
Not only the plot of King Arthur's battle against Caesar and Pompey, Ai Hayasaka also specially learned about Maple's epic mode. The cute and cute school girl really knows everything:
Maple has experienced the legend of the Sphinx test, the Eye of Horus, and the resurrection of the mummy of Osiris.She went to Hades with Princess Isis to find the soul of Osiris, and even fought fiercely with the jackal-shaped death in front of the gate of hell.As expected of an iron-headed baby, she only had a three-star character card at the time.
When the name of the god-killing hero was well-known all over the world, Maple had already reached four stars, and she deduced that the final boss might be the sun god Ra.But she couldn't go to heaven.
So Maple used the traditional art skills of character card players to "physically persuade" the Pharaoh to build the Babel Tower, which triggered the epic mode.God Seth usurped power, Horus was murdered, the Egyptian civil war... a series of crises struck.
When Hayasaka Ai heard this passage, she was sweating for Maple.
Fortunately, all of these have become Maple's experience package, and turned into a powerful cornerstone of No.3.In the end, Maple broke through the formation and defeated the Chaos Realm, defeated the sun god Ra, and killed the alien god Apophis.
Epic mode is never easy and has to be played with care.
"Is the Ivan the Terrible you're talking about very powerful?"
"No one will forget his horror. The notoriety of the first tsar has always shocked Europe. He is the ruler of fear."
"It may not be easy for France to send troops to deal with such a powerful enemy."
Hayasaka Ai was very interested in her heart, but when she spoke, her tone became a rip-off.
I am the leader supported by the Gauls. I have to think about France when I sit on the seat of the Palace of Versailles. How can I let you, a small country, drag me into the quagmire of war?We are free, romantic and peace-loving France, and you actually encourage us to fight...
This has to add money.
"Hehe, sir, I understand the truth."
"It's good that you understand."
Can the king sit still if he has no brains?Anyway, the bald man immediately understood the hint, and he came prepared this time.
He ordered his entourage to hand over two brocade boxes. At this moment, Ai Hayasaka suddenly became excited, as if eager to talk to an old friend.Even the blood of the saint is boiling, what is it?
"My lord, I have brought a gift that a Christian saint will definitely not refuse."
"Hey, it's against the rules for you to give me directly..."
"It can be counted as national wealth or personal collection. In short, you can take a look first, and then you will know."
The brocade box was opened, and there were a sprouted wooden cane and a pure gold olive-shaped jar.
Chapter 470 Christian Sacred Objects
Ai Hayasaka took a breath.
While she was still racking her brains to think about what kind of treasure it was, Enlightenment was the first to give the answer:
It was a 3000-year encounter in Kuangbie, a sacred object of the Hebrews, implying a covenant with God. The four treasures stored in the ark of the covenant: two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments carved by the saint Moses, one used by Moses' brother Aaron An old cane, a jar for the goodness of the gods.
Needless to say, priceless.
The value of the things contained in these two brocade boxes would not be enough to sell the entire Kingdom of Sweden, but who would be foolish enough to measure Christian relics with money?Its significance is unimaginably great, no less than the holy skeletal cloth, and even far beyond.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. If France has so many Christian relics, it can take away the Vatican's right to interpret religion.The Bible can have two books, the Old Testament and the New Testament, why can't there be a third?
Hayasaka Ai faintly realizes that unifying the Christian civilization world is also a hidden main line. Catholicism, Orthodox Church, and Puritanism are unified and integrated, and holy things plus saints have absolute authority, whether secular or religious.Ai Hayasaka couldn't refuse the temptation to divide the era, define a civilization, and overthrow Confucianism.
Her ambition, once ignited, cannot be extinguished, and for this fleeting blueprint, relics are indispensable.
Calm down, the more you want something the less you can express desire in a negotiation...
"Actually, His Majesty has other options, such as mortgage tariffs and leased ports in exchange for France's support. Why should you hand over such an important thing?"
The king smiled bitterly, and the wrinkles on his face were full of sorrow.
"These are the jobs of selling sovereignty. Sovereignty is the most valuable thing. I don't want future generations to poke their spines and curse. In comparison, these scraps of copper and iron are all external things."
"To be honest, these things are difficult to play a role in the hands of the right owner, otherwise it is a crime. France is qualified to hold the holy relics of Christ, and no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. After all, even the Pope of the Vatican is yours vassal."
Hayasaka Ai nodded.
She admired the king for keeping a clear head in times of crisis, and would examine that moderation is a good quality for the head of a small country.
If you think about it carefully, what else can Sweden, which has suffered so much war and lost its lives, come up with?No amount of assets could stand up to a field cannon from Tsarist Russia. The king's escape to save these holy relics was the only wealth, and the entire Kingdom of Sweden had to count on this deal to survive.If the borrowing of troops is successful, the war will fade away and there will still be green waters and green mountains, and the Swedes can continue to sing the songs of their ancestors to fish in the Baltic Sea and live and work in peace and contentment.
At the moment of life and death, Sweden needs this deal so badly that they have no choice.
"Can you promise?"
The king looked at the blond girl in front of him with hope in his eyes. Although she was young, she had power over the world. The owner of the Palace of Versailles was enough to decide everything, not a little king.
One was born in the royal family, and the other was born as a village girl, but the difference in status between the two of them is far greater than the difference in family status.
"Your Majesty, I originally thought you were fleeing in a hurry, but it turned out that you were asking for support with a mission, which is admirable."
"When you are ordered to be in danger, you are duty-bound."
"For your sake, I will consider these two sacred objects as having met half of the requirements."
"half!"
The king looked surprised, and apart from the surprise, there was deep anger in his heart. France was too bullying.He wished he could smash the holy object now, but rationality advised him to stop childish thoughts.
In fact, the Kingdom of Sweden really has no room for bargaining, and it has always been fish and meat, just changing a chopping board occasionally.
Ai Hayasaka nodded with a smile on her face, not knowing whether it was to express goodwill or to praise the Swedish king for his understanding of current affairs.
"The national treasury is running low, and I can't afford any more money, let alone something equivalent to the two holy relics."
"Your country should shoulder the same responsibilities as its Prussian and Austrian allies."
Speaking of which, if you don’t understand it, you’re a fool. The content of the world-famous “Rhine Agreement” signed by Hohenzollern Castle stipulates the responsibilities of Prussia and Austria. The port is leased to France, and the right to declare war is cancelled. The minimum army... To put it bluntly, it is a division of sovereignty.
How ironic, just now the King of Sweden said that sovereignty is the most valuable, and now Ai Hayasaka hints that he will use it for trading, otherwise France will never send troops.
"……sure."
The king had a fierce ideological struggle, and finally had to accept it calmly.
"It's a word."
Ai Hayasaka motioned for Humphrey to see off the guests, and the King of Sweden left in such a worried mood.
Although he knew the name of the world-renowned Saint Joan of Arc, he was more willing to believe in the prestige of the Messiah the Great. From the very beginning, the King of Sweden did not expect Joan of Arc to let go easily.But I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with. He deserves to be a generation of heroes who can lead France to regain its glory.
A ruthless exercise of power, a decision-making machine that only considers the interests of the country without emotion, and the steely will keeps Joan from moving.Anyway, no matter how many Swedes die, it has nothing to do with the Gauls. If you want to borrow troops, you have to take money.
Regardless of the outcome of the war, Sweden's future looked bleak.
Immediately after Humphrey and the king left, Duhem, as foreign secretary, paid a visit.
"My lord, I don't think the barren land in Northern Europe is worth the bloodshed of soldiers. Tsarist Russia needs resources such as forests and iron ore, and we always have alternatives."
"What should I do?"
"A verbal promise, but actually a delay. When the war is over, we can easily support the King of Sweden. If he doesn't cooperate, the royal family will always want a successor. After all, it's not surprising that an exiled government has something to do while fleeing." Di Ang said quietly.
Hayasaka Ai shook his head.
She lightly stroked the wooden cane and the golden jar, the holy objects were shining brightly, causing the saint's blood to heat up slightly, this is a guide.
"Relatively speaking, the distance from Northern Europe to Moscow is very short. If I set up a magic base there, I may maintain the Holy Slayer Spear for a long time."
An excellent missile base.
The blond girl remained silent, turned over the globe on the desk, and touched the Scandinavian Peninsula lightly.
"Sending troops, this is the judgment of the supreme officer."
"As ordered."
With the order of the first ruler of France, the Palace of Versailles is brewing a new strategy.The giant's big hand extended to the harsh and cold northern Europe, and this barren land could not escape the baptism of war after all.
Far away on the front line, Sanson led his troops to assist Sweden, and the land that triggered the all-out war between Tsarist Russia and France became lively.
No one knows what kind of secret talks there were between the King of Sweden and the First Consul. The exchange of interests between the two heads of state may not be simple. Unfortunately, history always has an unrecorded side.But people in later generations know that the Nordic strategy of the Palace of Versailles inadvertently promoted the entire war process, which eventually led to Joan of Arc's solitary penetration into the Kremlin.
Chapter 471 Restoring the Kingdom of Sweden
The summit meeting at the Palace of Versailles soon came to fruition. The King of Sweden borrowed troops from France to rule first, and the two hit it off and decided to implement the Nordic strategy.
For countless Swedes who have suffered from the flames of war, they finally got a ray of light in the bitter days buried in ruins.Tsarist Russia also retreated sensibly. Tsarist Russia, which had just been severely injured by the Minsk battle, had no intention of managing the occupied territory. Besides, the significance of Sweden was to test France according to Moriarty's intentions, so it had to retreat in desperation.
Sanson led the charge to aid Sweden, and took Stockholm without much effort.
In fact, the troops sent out by France are only 60,000 people, which is not considered an advantage in number. The most important thing is that the Gallic Legion has won the hearts of the people and has a foundation of public opinion.
Ai Hayasaka's long-standing public opinion war management has shown results, at least in terms of publicity, the image of France is really great, and the Gallic Legion's bad habits such as robbing civilian women in the Italian war have all been changed.Such a powerful force has the discipline of not abusing prisoners, harassing civilians, and not maliciously plundering, and the first impression is good.
One side is the army of Marshal Gildrey, who has a very good reputation, and the other side is the bandit army of Ivan the Terrible, who even killed his own children.
