The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 437

Olaf was no stranger to the Turghut Khanate. He remembered that during the Kangxi period, the Mongolian Khanate next to the Caspian Sea was annexed and migrated back to the Qing Dynasty because it could not withstand the oppression of Peter the Great. Be a hero”.

However, Russia has not yet welcomed their saint Peter, and has been choked by Sweden to the sea, and potatoes have not yet become the main crop of black soil, so Russia has not been able to explode in terms of economy or population, and it is still a second-class country in Europe. At this time, Russia and the Turghut Khanate were completely equal.

However, even such an equal and powerful khanate is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty in the Far East. Europe, which was in the Muhua period at this time, regarded the ancient countries of the Far East as behemoths, and Russia was no exception.

After learning from the Turghut Khanate that Qing was the successor of the Great Mongol Empire, I was even more frightened and my calf turned. More than 1,800 flintlock muskets have been spent.

After Olaf learned about it, he did not think that Russia would suffer. Now the Qing Dynasty has controlled more than half of China and controlled a population of nearly 100 million. In addition, the mountain ginseng and mink fur, which were the favorites of the Qing court, were also specialties of Russia.

With that little special product, Russia can exchange a lot of wealth in the form of tribute, and two trips of “tribute” can earn it back with interest.

After knowing that Russia was going to play its muscles in front of the Qing embassy, ​​launch an offensive to annex eastern Ukraine, and retake the land occupied by the Crimean Khanate, Olaf was very alert and convened members of the Swedish Privy Council and ministers to conduct a special study.

Although Russia cannot pose a threat to the giant Swedish Empire, Olaf, who knows why Russia will grow and exist in the future, feels that he does not dare to take it lightly. He first named the theme at the meeting, that is to do everything possible to fight against Russia and suppress it. Russia, defeating Russia, ends with “Russia must not be strong”.

Olaf relied on “three dozen Lithuania” to sway Europe. At this time, he put forward the request of “three dozen Russia”. Everyone was invigorated and smelled the smell of gunpowder.

The young generals who expected to win a good future through military exploits were all excited, and the warlike ministers were also excited. Almost half of the people hoped that the Godfather Regent would lead everyone to sweep Europe and restore the glory of the North Sea Empire and even Caesar.

Olaf is only 29 years old this year. It is when he is full of energy and high spirits. He is now in a good relationship with Christina. As the controller of the Swedish Empire, Olaf feels that even through the Viking News and Saga’s god-building action over the years His prestige has risen to the level of being on par with Gustav II, but if he really wants to add a yellow robe, he still needs a big victory to endorse it.

Olaf is very clear that he, as an Icelander, wants to truly annex Sweden and integrate Northern Europe. He must eliminate dissidents by launching wars abroad, cleanse the interior, and create an army that completely obeys his own orders. Going a step further, only in this way can it be as symmetrical as the regent in the Far East who has evolved into Emperor Ama and will evolve into Emperor Yi in the future.

Olaf felt that he was far-sighted, starting from the country, starting from the nation and starting from himself, he had to make the same decision, that is, “three fights against Russia”, which gave him a vague sense of mission.

Sometimes, if he tells a lot of lies, he believes it to be true. The emperor believes that he is really the Son of Heaven and that he is destined to return, not because he has seen the destiny, but because everyone is fooling him.

Olaf didn’t realize that dragon scales and horns had grown on his body now, but he was still complacent, thinking that he could become the conqueror of the world.

After everyone discussed the plan to send troops to Poland to assist the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in defeating the Russian army, Olaf took a look and made a random decision. At the same time, Karl Tiger and Sollak were appointed as commanders of the army and navy, and the commander-in-chief was handed over to Lennart Thor. In recent years, Karl, who has been in the limelight in the military world, as Olaf’s disciple and Christina’s cousin, was supposed to be the deputy commander as Lennart Thorstensen’s friend and successor, but Olaf was worried that Carl’s growth would become an obstacle to his own advancement, so he allocated 3,000 musketeers and 500 artillerymen to Carl, and asked them to lead the arms and supplies to Daming with Zhou Zhifan and others who were about to leave for Guangzhou.

The living room was as warm as summer, the pine wood in the fireplace was crackling, and Olaf, sitting on the sofa, looked kindly at the tall and handsome young man standing in front of him, who was his disciple Karl.

Carl has now grown into a new Swedish star, and is regarded by the old Swedish forces as the first candidate to fight against Olaf in the future. Olaf also noticed the undercurrents behind him, so he specially called Carl to the palace to arrange for him. His important task of crossing the ocean.

Obviously Carl is not willing to be an envoy to Daming in the Far East, and he hopes that he can shine on the battlefield in Europe.

Olaf listened to Carl’s statement of 18 points and expressed an attitude. Finally, he poured a cup of green tea, handed it to Carl, and said with a smile, “Child, drink tea to moisten your throat.”

“Thank you godfather.”

Carl respectfully took the beautiful and luxurious porcelain cup and took a sip. He felt that it was far less delicious than coffee with added sugar, but he didn’t dare to say anything.

Olaf knew from his expression that he was someone who didn’t know how to drink tea, and said angrily, “You want to fight, don’t you?”

“But you have to understand that Russia has declared war on Poland and Crimea at the same time. If Poland is badly hurt, he can pinch it. What country is behind Crimea? It’s the Ottoman Empire, although Ibrahim I was an incompetent The trash, maybe one day he won’t even be able to keep the throne, but he won’t watch Crimea being bullied too hard by Russia, so it is said that this war will sooner or later Osman will take action, and

^0^ We have participated in Poland, and Russia can’t ask for any benefits, so this war is destined to not take too long, and it will not involve too much. You are still young, and you will be behind when you make contributions. As far as young people are concerned, I think the most important thing is to become famous first. Once you become famous, it will be easier to do anything in the future. I have entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and no one will say anything if you enter the cabinet. ”

Karl was very moved by Olaf’s heartfelt remarks. He bowed slightly and asked, “Godfather, can I make a name for myself by going to the Far East?”

“Silly boy.”

Olaf lit the shredded tobacco in his pipe, took two puffs, and exhaled smoke and said, “What country is Khitan?”

“The most ancient, civilized, wealthy, and powerful country in the Far East…”

“You know it. The establishment of diplomatic relations with the Ming Kingdom made me, Her Christina and the Swedish Empire, make a splash in Europe~www.mtlnovel.com~ This is because the rich, powerful and ancient civilization of the Far East is what everyone aspires to, As our Swedish Empire, you dispatched the aid officer and the first diplomatic envoy of the Ming Empire, isn’t this a great deed of a celebrity through the ages?”

“It seems so…”

Seeing Carl’s relaxed attitude, Olaf continued: “You also know what terms Daming negotiated with us to establish diplomatic relations, and what problems they face. It’s not that you can’t fight, but you have more space and space to display your skills. You have to lead Our aid officer corps guides the training and combat of the Daming army. If you can help Daming succeed in the Northern Expedition, you will be the savior of the Daming Empire in the future. When you come back with an honor, I will give you a prime minister and no one can say anything. what!”

Carl was shocked by what Olaf said, swallowed and said excitedly: “Godfather, you are right, I am too short-sighted, I will pack up now, and tomorrow I will go to the Far East with the Daming embassy. ”

“Good boy.” Olaf couldn’t stop praising Karl, and then Karl left Olaf’s hall excitedly. He first said goodbye to Christina, and then took the farewell gift from the Empress – a short gun studded with gems. Leaving the Three Crowns Castle, I went home and packed my bags.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
