The situation of the founding of Prussia is relatively special, first of all, there is no Prussia in history, there is only one place name called Prussia, where it is inhabited by very primitive Baltic peoples, who believe in the Nordic gods.

Why did Prussia become the Kingdom of Prussia? This brings us to the time of the Crusades. As we all know, the Crusades were when the Holy See fooled all the kingdoms and believers in Europe and went on an expedition to the East to seize territory.

Controlling the Middle East, it not only owns the religious holy city of Jerusalem, but also controls the two major granaries of the two river basins and the Nile River valley.

Even by controlling the region, Europe was able to open up ancient trade routes to India and China, demonstrating the geographical importance of the Middle East.

However, the Holy See fooled the kingdoms of Europe to fight, and he himself could not completely sit idly by, not to mention that the territory he fought down had to be governed by his own people, and he could not let outsiders eat all the meat in the end.

Therefore, at the end of the First Crusade, the Holy See organized three major orders of knights, composed of the most devout monks and papal knights, all of whom joined the expedition, which were the famous Knights Hospitaller, the Knights Templar and the Teutonic Knights, the ancestors of Prussia.

The Knights were established for war, and they were mercenaries of the Holy See, with faith in their hearts, swords in their hands, and the financial support of countless parishioners behind them, and the three major knights have since become the imprint of an era in the European Middle Ages.

The wars with the pagans were not confined to the Middle East, and in the 13th century, there were still many remnants of ancient civilizations in Northern Europe struggling to survive under the crush of Christianity.

Just like the primitive Prussian natives, there were inevitably numerous conflicts in their coexistence with Christianity, among which the conflict with the Polish king was the most serious, because this group of natives actually attacked the territory of the Polish king's son.

Enraged, the king of Poland not only sent troops to conscript these fierce natives, but also sent people to ask the commander of the Teutonic Knights for help, preparing to pay these professional soldiers to help them avenge their anger.

At that time, the Teutonic Knights had no battle to fight, and one by one the poor jingles, and when they saw that someone had hired them, they immediately asked the Pope for instructions. The infidels are attacking the Christians, and we have to suppress them!

In this way, the Teutonic Knights entered Northern Europe and began their two-hundred-year campaign in Prussia. This was no ordinary war, for two hundred years the Teutonic Knights changed the beliefs and even the language of the indigenous people of the land.

Since then, the Teutonic Order has settled here, and eventually declared secularization as an independent kingdom within the German National Confederation.

It can be seen that the national character of the Prussians has a lot to do with his history, as the descendants of one of the three knights of the Pope, they are resolute and resolute, full of aristocratic temperament, and they are also very stubborn and inflexible.

Kevin was a typical descendant of the Prussian Junker aristocracy, who was not afraid of war and was full of sacrifice, but it was absolutely impossible for him to participate in privateering on the ocean.

"Well, I know I can't convince you anymore, now I ask to get off the ship, give me a dinghy, I'm going to the Marshall Islands at night, I'm going home......"

Kevin gave up his position as co-captain and chose to return to Prussia alone, I can't change your decision, but I have the right not to participate.

Xiang Ying and the others didn't expect Kevin to be so stubborn, and everyone looked at each other at a loss for a while, the way back to China on the Zhiyuan was not simple, and the maintenance, debugging, and parameter collection of the entire battleship were ...... All kinds of work need Kevin to lead, and he has only gone less than a quarter of the long journey first, how can he pick a child.

Everyone's persuasion is useless, the stubborn Kevin only admits a dead reason, I can't stop you from privateering the sea, but I can be responsible for myself, can't I not participate!

In the end, Xiang Ying really had no choice, "Mr. Kevin, you come with me, I will show you something, after reading it, if you still insist on this decision, then I will send you back to China......"

The two came to the captain's room of the Zhiyuan, and Xiang Ying even locked the door. Opening the safe, Xiang Ying took out a document from the bottom and put it in front of Kevin.

"Originally, these documents could not be made public, but we are on the vast sea, and we are not afraid of you leaking secrets, and I hope that after reading them, you will be able to understand what a moment of crisis the German nation has reached......

The document records a confidential memorandum between Xiao Lotian and Prime Minister Bismarck after the Austro-Prussian War, which was a meeting with a high level of secrecy. Kevin's eyes brightened the more he looked at it, and the anger on his face was revealed.

"Yes, it's all true...... After the end of the Austro-Prussian War, Napoleon III arrogantly demanded the title of land west of the Rhine from the Prime Minister of the Bismarck......"

"All the lands west of the Rhine in the Duchy of Bavaria and Hesse are wanted, and the excuse is very brazen, and they actually say that it is a thank you gift for maintaining neutrality in the Austro-Prussian war!"

"Mr. Kevin, in the final analysis, the Austro-Prussian War was a struggle for family leadership within the German nation, in Chinese terms, a big family in which two houses snatch the right to inherit, and whether they win or lose, it is the German nation's own family affair...... What qualifications do they have in France to intervene? They even want to divide the German land, which is tolerable!"

With a bang, Kevin slammed his fist on the table, "Why? Why don't we know about this kind of thing? It's been two years, why doesn't everyone in Prussia know?"

Kevin will never doubt the authenticity of the documents, although these young Chinese people are a bit unscrupulous, but they will never use such important information to deceive people.

"Why? Because the Prime Minister of Bismarck himself carried all the pressure away, because he knew that Prussia would have to make all kinds of preparations if he wanted to challenge France......"

"France's national strategy towards Germany is very clear, if they want to guarantee the status of the first army power in Europe, they must interfere with the road to German unification, today they seek land west of the Rhine, tomorrow they can extend their hand to the east of the Rhine!"

"The competition of strength between countries is always slowly changing in the process of eliminating each other's strengths, and there must be a war between the Prussian people, and the entire Prussian top has long had such an awareness...... If you think it doesn't matter if the land is ceded to France, then when I don't say anything, I'll send you back now......"

"That's enough!" Kevin's whole face turned hideous, "If this is a radical method, then you have succeeded...... If you want to keep me, there is only one condition, we will only attack the French ships, and the other countries will not move, is this okay?"

"No problem, everything is as you wish!" Xiang Ying smiled and gave him a military salute, a row of big white teeth and bright dazzling eyes.
