The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 469
After the disintegration of the anti-Viking alliance, as long as the Viking Empire did not rashly launch a war to attract a mass attack, there would no longer be a rival in Europe.
Olaf knew that after the establishment of the Viking Empire, with the fermentation of time, there will be stronger cohesion and potential. Now high-yield crops are popularized, there is a large granary in Vinland, and the Nordic region has begun to plant high-yield crops. Potatoes, food is no longer a condition that restricts population growth at the moment.
Therefore, Olaf can foresee that the population of the Viking Empire will continue to grow in twenty or thirty years, plus the magnetite, copper, gold and silver mines and coal mines owned by Vinland and Northern Europe, he only needs to continue to encourage the development of technology, Guided the birth of coke, the future steel production in the Viking Empire will grow by leaps and bounds, and the population will also increase greatly.
Therefore, in Olaf’s eyes, as long as the Viking Empire has a stable time to develop its national strength, the national strength of the Viking Empire will increase a lot every year, and all the countries in Europe can’t fight for their own time.
Anyway, Germany failed to unify, and Prussia in the north also lost the opportunity to expand. Instead, it became the watchdog of the Viking Empire guarding the southern gate.
Russia has no access to the sea, and the Jewish Commonwealth is used as a nail to consume them. The Polish-Lithuanian Confederation has become a subsidiary of the Viking Empire. Olaf has no worries at all. He feels that he just needs to wait.
When the population of the Viking Empire exceeds 10 million, and the provinces are thoroughly digested and assimilated, then he will have an army of 500,000 to 800,000, whether it is crushing Russia in the east or sweeping Shinra in the south. Completely lay the foundation for the hegemony of European coercion.
…
Time is always incomparably long when one is wasted, but when one is devoted to the cause that one loves, it becomes very inexorable.
When the spring blossoms this year, the East India Company of the Viking Empire sent back a letter of help from Christina, the head of the Vasa royal family in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
After looking at the time, Olaf suddenly realized that it was already 1662.
Since the winter of last year, Olaf has been addicted to wine and sex. Although he is forty-five years old, his ambition is still there, but his momentum is not enough. Although the Ministry of Naturalization has repeatedly pointed out that Russia has annexed Turghut Khan Kingdom, and is infiltrating the Jewish Commonwealth, but he still orders to wait a few more years against Russia.
After reading Christina’s SOS letter, Olaf rubbed his face, and the two young girls who were barely an inch stood up from the bed and surrounded them, stretched out their white jade-like arms, and pointed at Olaf’s neck and shoulders. , massage Olaf with that skilled massage technique.
“Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”
Olaf showed two fragrant bodies, although his heart was still itchy, but his lower abdomen was weak, so he could only sigh: “It’s Christina, her attack on Japan has not been smooth in the past few years, I didn’t expect the Netherlands to lose the East Indies. The colony actually moved the colonial company to the island of Japan. The Ryukyu area is too small. Last year, more than 10,000 elite soldiers who attacked Japan’s Honshu Island were defeated. With the help of the Dutch, Japan is gearing up to counterattack and annex the Ryukyu Kingdom. Christina did not. The solution is to ask Viking East India headquarters to send troops to the Sulu Islands, but this is a major national war, and it is only a loss, so they dare not call the shots, and Christina begged me.”…
The two beautiful girls are Olaf’s new love in recent years, one is a princess from Poland and Lithuania, and the other is a beautiful girl sent from Iceland.
Although the princess of Poland and Lithuania is a few years older, she is not as tough as the 14-year-old Ude from Iceland, so he did not dare to speak on such a topic, but Ude snorted coldly and said, “Your Majesty, what are you doing to Christie? Na is also very good. Although she is your goddaughter, she has already converted to Catholicism. After all, there is no such relationship. She took the Ryukyu Island, the headquarters of the East India Company of our Viking Empire, to establish the country, that is, your kindness. The other kings have already sent the navy to attack her, how can this woman still have the face to ask for your help?”
Olaf turned a deaf ear, read the letter twice again, and suddenly got up and said, “Put me on the newly made spring clothes.”
The two women waited for Olaf to get dressed, and Olaf walked out of the bedroom. First, he ordered people to call the prime ministers and generals of the empire to come to the throne room for a meeting. He himself went to the queen’s bedroom with a letter in his hand.
Queen Margaret was watching her youngest daughter and son learn to paint. Seeing Olaf hurried in, she frowned, got up to greet him, and asked, “Your Majesty, what’s the matter?”
Olaf handed the letter to Margaret and said, “Look, I can’t make up my mind on this matter. I want to ask what you think?”
In the past ten years, Margaret gave Olaf two consecutive sons and a young daughter. The eldest son, Elf Olafsson, was just nine years old. At the age of six and three, since giving birth to three children, Margaret has suffered from a herniated disc in the waist. She needs to rest all day and cannot serve Olaf. thick.
Margaret read the letter and frowned, “Your Majesty doesn’t want to help her?”
Olaf shook his head gently: “That’s not true, it’s mainly because of this group. We will spend a lot of manpower and financial resources. It’s impossible to fight Japan without sending more naval soldiers. However, although the East India Company will be because of the fleet we sent. Soldiers are stronger, but the navy and strength of our Viking Empire will be damaged. Russia is ready to move now, and Louis XIV of France has long been unable to hold back. Maybe our troop carrier and navy will meet soon after leaving the North Sea. We are fighting both sides of the Eastern and Southern Fronts.”
Margaret smiled and said, “This is now fighting against Russia and France.
Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page ^0^ Isn’t it the dream of the generals of the Viking Legion? They’ve been clamoring to clean up Russia for the past two years. ”
Olaf stroked his golden beard and said, “They are all rude people who have made achievements in their minds. If they wanted to go south ten years ago, if it really started, we may not be able to do it now. To win, it gives Russia a chance.”
“It’s not impossible to do it now, but our Wenlan army has not been mobilized, but the Ryukyu side is in a hurry. If the start is bad, we will be very passive in the future.”
Margaret didn’t understand any strategy and tactics. She bowed slightly and said, “Aren’t we ready for war now, are France and Russia ready?”
Olaf remembered the information from various countries sent by the Ministry of Naturalization a few years ago, and said solemnly: “France is okay, but Russia is really gearing up for a long time.”
Margaret smiled and said: “Your Majesty, we are close to Russia, so we should focus on guarding against him. Although France is very powerful, have you forgotten the English Republic?”
Olaf asked in confusion: “The civil strife in the English Republic has just subsided~www.mtlnovel.com~ Is there any spare power to help us?”
Margaret smiled and said, “Little Cromwell is your student. You didn’t send Thom and Sollak to help him. Can he quell the rebellion and secure his position as the lord of the country? Ireland is the best. Listen to your words, the English Republic will let Ireland move if it doesn’t obey, and Richard will have to help us contain France.”
Olaf laughed, hugged Margaret and kissed, “Queen, you are too smart, how did you think of it?”
Margaret said: “Ulf has started taking military strategy classes these days. I heard his teacher say it, and I wrote it down when it made sense.”
Olaf asked like a treasure: “Who is his teacher?”
“The Duke of Prussia, His Excellency Friedrich Wilhelm, Minister of War of the Viking Empire.”
“Little William? You asked him to be Ulf’s teacher? Very good, very good! Let Little William talk about it at the next meeting.”
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
