The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 413
After Olaf negotiated with Jiev, New Netherlands was handed over to Vinland officials on October 10, and Heine also allocated more than two million silver crowns from the treasury to deliver to Jiev.
Olaf wanted to spend the New Year in Vinland, but the news from the UK made Olaf overjoyed. He immediately ordered the two Vinland Raydangs from Blackstone and Oros, who had just replenished their troops, and asked them to follow him to the UK to help.
It turned out that after Charles I gave up Ireland and Scotland, he relied on huge forces to gain an advantage in the civil war. However, in the face of the rapid growth of Cromwell, his advantage was gradually lost.
This civil war has gone through seven years of fighting and stopping. This summer, the Parliamentary Army finally swept the British Isles under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Cromwell, captured Charles I, and sent him to the guillotine.
Due to many changes, Charles I still followed the old path of his previous life, and was on the guillotine more than four years earlier than his previous life.
After Charles I injured the guillotine, Cromwell’s army first attacked the Scottish Presbyterian Church, preparing to completely wipe out the opposition in Scotland, and Ireland was also put on the agenda as the next target.
The leader of the Irish independence forces, Raleigh Omor, knew that his army was not an opponent of the parliamentary army at all, so he immediately sent a letter to Hagrid asking him to send troops to help.
Hagrid was a Viking general with great status and power. He sent someone to tell Hadar and ordered more than 3,000 mines as soldiers and 60 artillery to go to Ireland to help in the war.
In September, after the parliamentary army swept Scotland, under the personal leadership of Cromwell, they attacked Ireland. The first Viking berserker Hagrid and Cromwell also fought a battle outside Dublin. The result was Hagrid after the war. He was shot and wounded, Raleigh was shot to death, Cromwell lost two positions and could only return to Dublin.
The situation at this time can be seen by anyone with a clear eye. The parliamentary army is no longer able to attack Ireland, so Ireland is temporarily safe.
But what about next year? What about the next year?
Hadar learned that his younger brother was seriously injured. Although the army doctor had stabilized the injury and saved his life, he was furious and sent a letter to Olaf, and personally led the army to Ireland to help.
After receiving the letter, Olaf knew that the British Civil War was basically over, and it was now a war between Cromwell and the Irish Independence Army, which unified the British Isles.
For the benefit of Iceland, we must do everything possible to weaken the United Kingdom. The best way is to support Irish independence. Therefore, Hadar was not angry after learning that Hagrid had sent troops on his own initiative, even after Hagrid was injured. Send troops to Ireland for reasons.
Olaf read Hadar’s letter and knew that Iceland must have had a fight with the United Kingdom. Now if the future empire can be defeated, Iceland can take its place and become the future world overlord.
This is the “struggle of luck.” There can only be one maritime hegemon. The system composed of Iceland, Vinland, Greenland, Trondheim, and Pomerania will never tolerate other countries to become maritime hegemons. Therefore, Even if Olaf and Cromwell have a good personal relationship, they can only choose to send troops when it comes to issues of right and wrong.
In mid-October, Olaf led 30,000 Vinland Lei as soldiers from Hadar Port and headed east, arriving in Dublin at the beginning of November, when Cromwell had already led the parliamentary army to withdraw from Ireland.
With the current strength of the United Kingdom, it has been difficult to organize an offensive in a short period of time, so when Olaf arrived in Dublin, Cromwell’s messenger also arrived.
Hadar and Olaf received the messenger at the Governor’s Castle in Dublin.
Cromwell means temporary peace talks, allowing the Irish Independence Army to govern itself, but must allow the British Parliament to send the governor as its nominal supreme leader, and at the same time allow the Irish to believe in Catholicism freely, and recognize Omor and others. The confiscation of the land of Charles I and the Anglican Church in Ireland, but Cromwell insisted that Ireland cannot establish an independent state, and must be dependent on Britain.
Olaf discussed with Hadar and Raleigh’s heir, Oren Omor, and felt that as long as Ireland’s autonomy was snatched from the British, Ireland would become the Irish Ireland and would no longer need to be oppressed and exploited by the British. .
So Oren Omor agreed with the support of Hadar and Olaf to negotiate with Cromwell, and agreed to negotiate in London on November 15th, Olaf and Hadar will also participate as notaries.
At this time, the parliamentary army is still sweeping the opposition forces in Great Britain, searching for the royal party. As the first commander of the parliamentary army, Cromwell is also considering establishing a new country to stabilize the people’s mind in his comments, and at the same time formally establish diplomatic relations with the European countries.
On November 12th, Cromwell’s confidant Thomas Fairfax personally led five merchant ships to greet Olaf and Hadar.
In terms of identity, Olaf and Hadar are both dukes, but they are father and son, and they have strong forces. Therefore, the parliamentary army has to attach great importance to meeting the two with the standard of treating the monarch of a country.
In the early morning of November 14, Olaf, Hadar, and Oren Omor arrived in London, and Cromwell personally greeted them at the dock.
At this long-lost meeting, both Olaf and Cromwell changed their mindsets. Although they still miss friendship in their hearts, they still care about political interests.
After a few words politely, Cromwell greeted everyone back to the Whitehall Palace to live in. After the banquet reception was over, Hadar and Omor went back to rest, and Olaf was also taken to another clean room by the servant.
Cromwell was waiting in a soft robe at this time, when Olaf came in and reached out to hug, then he sighed: “There are so many people in the daytime and it is inconvenient to speak. I can only ask you to come and talk with me at night.”
Olaf sat in front of Cromwell and waited for him to pour himself a cup of tea~www.mtlnovel.com~ before he smiled: “You are now the first person in Great Britain. Are you ready to be king?”
Cromwell shook his head lightly and said: “I don’t intend to be king. If I become the king of England, the power will be handed over, because I am a parliamentarian and must obey the Magna Carta that the parliament holds power.”
Olaf knew in his heart that he knew that Cromwell was bound to be the protector of the military dictatorship. After thinking about it, he asked: “What do you want to tell me? You also know our family and the Omor family Relationship, you must go to war with Iceland if you want to conquer Ireland, and I can’t stand by, so I advise you to give up Ireland.”
Cromwell said in a deep voice: “I know what you said, and I know what you did in Virginia, and I can’t compete with you now, so North America will give it to you, and Ireland can also be autonomous, but I hope Can you tell me the truth, what are you going to do? Or how much interest can you allow Britain to gain in the world. Although we are friends, I still have to safeguard Britain’s interests.”
Olaf sighed and said: “In your and my position, you can’t help doing things, but Vinland only needs North America. You can fight for the Central American Islands and South America, and you can also vigorously fight for the East Indies and the East Indies. I only need to keep Vinland, Greenland, Iceland, Trondheim, Pomerania, the northern east-west horizontal Viking circle, so we can cooperate and explore the European continent together. What do you think?”
