The Rise of Iceland - Vol 3 Chapter 474
After Russia was hit with ceded territories, Europe did not return to peace.
The forces led by the Viking Empire and the English Republic on behalf of Protestantism and France and Habsburg led by the Catholic countries launched a ten-year war. Both sides knew that this war would determine the future ownership of Europe, and each other. The fate of the country and the whole world, so even if France and the Habsburgs could no longer hold on, they still insisted on it, and even the Ottoman Empire did not want to see the rise of the Viking Empire, and sent troops to help the Catholic Union.
Although there have been many exciting things in more than ten years, the essence of war is cruel killing and being killed.
When the war ended, Bavaria and Bohemia were both dismembered and annexed by the Viking Empire, and France was better, but the actual control of Luxembourg, Upper Lorraine, and Artois were all annexed by the Viking Empire, although the land was lost. It’s not much, but it really doesn’t have any spare energy to fight again.
Over the years, the Viking Empire has rebelled against many Tatar khanates around Moscow, resulting in Alexei I moving the capital without waiting for the Kazan palace to be repaired. The Khanate has also lost control more and more. They openly fell to the Viking Empire and became a vassal state of the Viking system, and then began to continuously erode the land of Russia, and even once invaded Moscow to smash, smash, loot and burn.
As the ancient capital of Russia, Moscow has become a **** for everyone to ride in and out with the decline of Russia’s national fortune.
In a few years, Russia could not control the Moscow region surrounded by the Viking Empire, the Jewish Commonwealth, the Qasim Khanate, and the Turghut Khanate like a horn. Alexei I, who lived in Kazan, has long been Frightened, he became a frightened bird. He pointed out a marriage to his newborn son and heir Ivan, that is, the daughter of the Flav family, the leader of the Perm area, in exchange for Flav’s loyalty. In 1670 the capital was moved from Kazan to the Perm region.
After living for a few years, I feel that the environment here is too bad, and the Cossacks have been harassing for a long time with the support of the Viking Legion. Russia, which has lost the black land of Eastern Europe, no longer has the shelf of an empire. Alexei I did not want to be destroyed. Can only bow to the Viking Empire.
In 1675, another Russian kingdom was added to the vassal state of the Viking Empire. Tsar Alexei I had removed the title of emperor on his head and changed it back to the king of Russia, and also replaced the 14-year-old heir Fyodor. Alexievich was sent to Stockholm.
Olaf saw that Alexei I was sensible, so he asked him to build the capital at the foot of the Ural Mountains, and personally gave the city the name of Steel Grad, and also charged Odor Alexievich as a student and let him Take lessons in the palace with your own sons.
Russia, which became a vassal state of the Viking Empire, has since lost Eastern Europe and large tracts of black land.
But fortunately there are still pastures and a small amount of arable land in the entire Siberia and the western side of the Ural Mountains. Although the land area is still a big country in the world, the background is no longer, and it can only be regarded as a European country in front of it. After all, even the country is built on the Eurasian continent. The dividing line is on. …
After Russia was completely flattened, the east of the Viking Empire no longer had any worries, and began to speed up the occupation and assimilation of Eastern European lands.
Olaf firmly believes that as long as the black land of Eastern Europe is eaten, the last shortcoming of the Viking Empire in Europe will be filled. At that time, even if Vinland evolves into the United States of America, it will not be able to escape the palm of the Viking Empire.
The three-year-old talk between France and the Habsburgs and the Viking Empire was completely changed after Russia was declared a vassal of the Viking Empire.
The Habsburgs gave up their territorial claims to places like Bohemia and Bavaria, but demanded 8 million Viking dollars in compensation, and Olaf let the new Prime Minister Stefan An, who was negotiating in The Hague, in a micro-manipulation. Desson agreed to the request.
Although the Viking Empire paid a price of 8 million gold dollars, the area that had already been controlled and occupied has legally become the territory of the Viking Empire. This transaction is more suitable.
As for France, because it was too far away from the Viking Empire, it only got some military expenses compensated by France. At the same time, it also turned the three principalities of Luxembourg, Artois and Upper Lorraine into vassals of France and the Viking Empire. The Habsburgs, the nominal suzerain, were kicked far away.
After this battle, the Viking Empire’s national power has risen sharply, and the territory of the Nordic region has almost doubled.
The entire map of the Great Viking Country Unification was also redrawn. When Olaf saw the latest map at the Three Crowns Palace, he excitedly put on his presbyopic glasses and kept looking at the huge map.
“Map of the Great Viking Empire: The Great Viking Empire covers a vast territory, including three continents in Asia and Europe, with a jurisdictional area of 30 million square kilometers and a direct area of 1,869 square kilometers. West to America, a land area of 6.5 million square kilometers, part of the Americas…”
At this time, Olaf was 66 years old, and most of his relatives, friends and elders had died, but although he had some asthma, he was not seriously ill.
After reading the map, Olaf dropped his eyes and laughed loudly: “The Viking Empire has the capital to dominate the world since then.”
In the same year, there were two major events in the Far East that changed the world. The first was that Nanming began to move the capital after the death of Emperor Longwu in 1670. The successor Shaohuan moved from Chaozhou to Nanjing to strengthen exchanges with the Ryukyu Kingdom and continue to attack. The remnants of the Qing Dynasty entrenched in the northeast.
In 1676, Nanming attacked and destroyed the main force of the Northern Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, regained control of Korea and the Shanhaiguan area, and restored the territory before Chongzhen.
Dear, this chapter is not over, and there is another page ^0^ Let’s start to hype about the eternal emperor.
This year’s war in Japan that has been entangled for more than ten years is basically over. The Tokugawa shogunate finally collapsed after a series of defeats. Carl took over the throne of the king from Christina, who was lingering on the bed. The army of the kingdom invaded Edo like a broken bamboo.
The Tokugawa shogunate was powerless to resist, and could only take the emperor and fled to the Ezo separatist regime in the north.
The Great Viking Empire established the largest empire in Europe since civilization began. Without Olaf’s advice, Protestantism naturally accepted the Church of God Kings, which had been rejected for many years, and also crowned Olaf the title of “Protestant Savior Emperor”.
Olaf is still just a hero in southern and western European countries, but in the radiation circle of the Viking Empire, it has long been a myth, such as the king of kings after Jesus, the invincible who shepherds all living beings for God, etc. Folk titles do not require money Pile on Olaf.
Facing an incomparably huge empire, Olaf realized that Stockholm was unsuitable as the capital of a great empire just a few months after he dealt with the political affairs.
After thinking again and again, Olaf finally decided to move the capital to Szczecin or build a city-state on the east coast of the Baltic Sea as the capital, which also reached the position of St. Petersburg, which was originally scheduled to appear a hundred years later.
However, considering that this is helpful for managing Central and Eastern Europe, it is not conducive to controlling Vinland.
Stockholm is too far north, and the winter cold and long nights are not suitable for the power center of the Viking Empire, but Copenhagen is very suitable for its location and latitude, and it is also the base of the Vikings.
After much thought, Olaf finally decided to move the capital of the Viking Empire to Copenhagen, so moving the capital became the top priority for the Viking Empire to enter the peacetime, not only the Congress paid attention to it, but also the people were excited, but the upper and lower Sweden provinces The people of East and West groaned, while those of East and West Denmark cheered.
In 1678, Olaf moved to Rosenborg in Copenhagen before his 69th birthday, but today’s Rosenborg has been expanded and rebuilt, more than five times larger than before, and the palace name was also designated by Olaf as “Ha. Dalberg”, in memory of his father.
After living in Hadarburg, Olaf’s physical health continued to deteriorate, but his brain was extremely clear. He knew that his decades of hard work had built a huge empire with his own hands.
The son of a colonial Icelandic village chief, who grew up to control half of Europe, dominate Europa, and dominate the world as a Viking emperor. Olaf felt that his life was worth it, but the only regret was that he could not ride Rome. , is not complete.
The last regret is that I can’t go to Daming in the Far East to see it, and I don’t know what it is that makes me dream about my hometown in my dreams.
However, Olaf thinks that his life is worth it. Although Wenlan still has many problems, as the first king who founded the country, he cannot solve the problems of the third generation. There may be many remaining problems, and even more and more problems. The more difficult it is, but no matter what, children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren, and future problems will be a headache for later people.
Thinking of this, Olaf, who was lying on the big soft bed, laughed, and his body seemed to be much lighter. Just when he was about to ask Amy and Margaret to pour himself a glass of honey beer to quench his thirst, suddenly a flower appeared in front of him. , I vaguely saw Christina laughing Yanyan walked in. She seemed to be too old to walk, but she still held her hand and said softly: “Godfather, I heard that you are ill? I will come to see you.”
Olaf nodded ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and smiled, and out of the corner of his eyes, he seemed to see the thin, small girl with pale skin. Turning his head, he saw that it was indeed Melkel.
“Why did you come back, Melkel? Is that you? Didn’t you leave me long ago? Hehe, you like tulips, and I planted tulips in Szczecin, have you seen it?”
Melkel walked over with a smile, stretched out her hand, and there was endless affection in her eyes.
Seeing this, Olaf seemed to be back when he was young. At that time, he was so high-spirited, energetic, and full of energy. Thinking about it, Olaf couldn’t help laughing: “It’s good… it’s good…”

I am really reluctant to write the three words “the finale”. Olaf is a character created by Lao Xia himself. It can be said that he has devoted himself to it. I also want to keep writing it, but there are feasts in the world. Let’s go over the brushwork. It’s just like what Rio Laf likes in the finale. He loves the high-spirited and energetic when he was young. He is, and so do I. Thank you for your support, Lao Xia bows.
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
