The Swedes themselves calculated that if they smashed the pot and sold iron, they could build two or three such dreadnoughts. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHowever, what is the purpose of building this dreadnought, if it is for national defense, Sweden's harsh natural climate and long winters are already the best means of national defense.

The French may think that the winter in Moscow is cold, but the Swedes will find the winter in Moscow in the south to be really warm.

At this time, Sweden was the only country that could compete with Tsarist Russia for hundreds of years.

If it is used to fight for hegemony, two or three dreadnoughts are far from enough. People in Britain have money and people, and as soon as the dreadnoughts are built, there will be ten - the more large ships are built at one time, the lower the unit price. The Americans built eight, the Germans four, and the Italians two. Although Sweden does not know how many Japanese have built, as an arms supplier to the Chinese Federation, it still has 20 dreadnoughts.

And the dreadnoughts are able to fight alone, and the dreadnoughts cannot catch up with faster cruisers and small destroyers, torpedo boats, etc. Can only be used as the main decisive battle weapon.

Since two or three dreadnoughts could not dominate, they could only join the Chinese and British side in an endless war. The Swedes did not see any benefit in this war. Ever since Britain casually started a war against China, the British have been defeated and defeated again and again. In the end, even the allies of the French were killed by the Chinese with knives, and most of the French were captured and sold as slaves, and the rest served their sentences in the mines and farms of the Germans.

As for China, it is not a good bird in the eyes of the Swedes, and it is typical that the lord who dies other people's children is not distressed, and now they are all playing proxy wars.

After Lin Haiyang sold a circle of drawings, he found that among the major countries, only the Swedes had not bought them. It seems that he wants to protect himself. Lin Haiyang wondered how the descendants of the Vikings became so honest, when the Vikings began to be robbers on land and pirates at sea - even in the Age of Discovery, the Swedes from East Asia to the Caribbean also contributed a lot of pirates.

It still doesn't seem to have enough benefits, and in this world, you will always need enough benefits to impress your quasi-allies. Lin Haiyang looked at the map of the world, the British Isles, I think that the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese Federation are not looking down, Japan may be able to see it, but it seems to be a little farther away. Now that New Zealand is an immigration point, Japan is very satisfied.

The Germans are big enough in Europe to probably not care about one or two islands, and besides, the Germans' appetite is Africa, and there is no interest in the Chinese Federation there - in Lin Haiyang's view, the African Nagada is still full of war, disease and poverty in the 21st/22nd century, or the lions, elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs can live well, and Uncle Black is resistant to falciparum malaria there, but for outsiders, it is a miasma with a high mortality rate.

Americans are more concerned about how the Americas are, and the affairs of Britain and the Old World are only newspaper matters for them.

What if the British Isles were given to Sweden in exchange for Sweden's war against Britain? Of course, Lin Haiyang could not make the decision on this matter alone, and in the name of Japan, he first tested the opinions of the Germans and other countries of the Chinese Federation. As for the Americans, Britain has no interest in them, don't ask.

The Germans reacted by looking at the map and confirming that even if Sweden got the British Island, it would not do anything like a-stirring stick, so they acquiesced. Of course, unless the Swedes have a meritorious contribution to the British war, and the Germans will be assigned to the Swedes in the end - another important point is that Germany and Sweden are also border countries from the point of view of overlapping sea areas, and it is better to have a consistent enemy between the two great powers than to defend against Sweden, and the Germans who know the Swedes well know that Sweden must be for farming after getting the British Isles, because Sweden already has the largest and best iron ore in Europe, and there is no shortage of coal.

As for other countries of the Chinese Federation, including the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces and the Devil Liusushun, they all said that they had no idea about Britain at all, and just wanted to avenge the first emperor.

At this time, because of the popular science of the newspapers, the Eight Banners forces' view of the British mainland was a broken island, and the capital London was full of haze and acid rain every day. It's no wonder that the British always want to colonize and live in foreign countries, and if they were born in that place, eighty percent of them also want to go abroad.

Since everyone had no opinions, the Japanese envoy sent by Lin Haiyang went to Sweden to meet the Swedish king with sincerity.

Hearing that the Japanese envoy wanted to persuade him to join the British Coalition, the Swedish king said: "Sweden will not join any war without sufficient benefits." ”

Japanese envoy: "Since I have come here, I have come with sufficient benefits. ”

King Gustav of Sweden: "Tell me and see if I can be moved." ”

Japanese envoy: "All of Great Britain." ”

King Gustav of Sweden stood up at once and spoke eagerly in Japanese: "Nani! ”

Japanese envoy: "To be precise, it is the British mainland, that is, the British Isles, England, Wales, Scotland. ”

At this time, the Swedish king Gustav sat down again: "It turned out to be the three islands of the British mainland. Then I'll think about it. ”

The Japanese envoy went on to say the second condition: "the drawings of the dreadnought and the complete set of construction workmanship." ”

King Gustav of Sweden: "Let me think again. ”

Japanese envoy: "An ironclad fleet of 100,000 tons with a total tonnage of more than three years in service. From 10,000-ton ironclad ships to 3,000-ton ironclad cruisers. The technologies include steam turbines and advanced steam engines, as well as generators and electrical equipment, and if Sweden can understand these technologies, Sweden's technological level will increase by 30 years. Sweden would have been auctioned within the Chinese Federation if it was not needed. ”

After hearing all the conditions, the Swedish king gritted his teeth and fidgeted. In the end, a meeting was held before the decision was made on the declaration of war against the British. And it was only after the Japanese fleet was delivered that it was inspected before war was declared on Britain. (The Swedes did not wish to expand the warm, humid lands of Europe in the south, and although the British Isles were not the best farmland and pastures like Poland and Ukraine, they were still in the hands of the British, compared to Sweden itself, which was also fertile land in the south.) ）

Finally, the Swedish and Japanese envoys signed a 30-year agreement on the supply of food parity. As descendants of the Vikings, the Swedes were not afraid of death, they were afraid of starvation, and the Swedes in Northern Europe had a piece of Hel bread in their dying funeral goods, which was used to buy off the giant dog Garm, who guarded the gates of the underworld. Didn't the Vikings go into the pirate business with their heads in the back of the day - if you want to rob, you have to ask for knives in people's hands, and the Vikings' greatest wish is to become the heroic spirit of the Valkyries under the god Odin after they die in battle, so that they can eat meat, drink wine and fight every day.

In exchange, Sweden also signed the Convention of the Chinese Federation. These include the Law of the Sea, the Law on the Protection of Wild Fauna and Flora, and the Law on the Protection of Rare Animals and Plants. To put it simply, fishing and hunting must be set every year on a date that cannot be hunted during the period when wild animals are pregnant and breastfeeding, and it is forbidden to use mechanized means to fish marine life wantonly, and the annual fishing quota depends on the previous year's receipt and demand to increase or decrease moderately. Rare trees and plants should be replanted, and wildlife sanctuaries should be designated.

The Swedes make sense, and in fact the countries with the most extinctions in the world are the British and Americans. Other countries rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and there is no tradition of destroying their own environment. The British and Americans, as outsiders, don't have to think about these things at all in areas outside the British mainland, and often the price of Mizuse skin in the market is high, and everyone goes to destroy Mizuse skin together. (The Americans, who did not consider the Americas their own land until they killed the Indians as a minority, were well aware that they were outsiders and that there were only two things to do here, conquer and plunder.) ）

After the Japanese fleet was replaced with a new batch of ships, a fleet with a total displacement of 100,000 tons bypassed the British mainland and entered Stockholm.

Seven days after the fleet arrived in Stockholm, Sweden announced that it had joined the Chinese coalition against the British.

Sweden's entry into the war was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the British Empire, which was trying its best to fight against the Qing army at home. Although there are always fewer people in this world, there are many people who fall into the well. Once upon a time, Sweden was an active member of the European anti-Qing coalition organized by Britain and France.

The British don't understand how Europeans, who are all blond and blue-eyed Europa brothers, who can't write two o's in one stroke, have fallen. Of course, if we talk about the fall, it was the Germans who were the first to fall among the European countries.

Then again, in this era, Britain was stirring up trouble in Europe, and Sweden also had a somewhat hateful mentality: the British could use good land to herd sheep, but the Swedes were reluctant.

It is false to say that the British do not regret waging war against the Qing Dynasty now, and that there is still a slight hope that the war will be won after more than ten years of fighting, and the total amount of war funds and national debts, as well as the fiscal deficit and taxes, have increased year by year, and even the British nobles have no surplus food in their homes after the war has burned to the British mainland. Although people complained, but the British Parliament of the two houses and the royal family and Downing Street decided to continue the war - because these people were the ones who made the war decision, and they could not slap themselves in the face, and the armistice treaty proposed by the Qing army at that time had a clause to undertake war criminals, otherwise Downing Street would not be angry and sent spies trained in Scotland Yard to assassinate Xianfeng.

However, this war cannot be stopped, and it was possible to end the war by ceding land and paying reparations in the past. After the British assassinated Xianfeng, the Chinese Federation unanimously decided that there could only be one winner in the war with the British. Those who negotiate peace with Britain privately are traitors **** -- there is Britain alive, and no one wants to be the second in Xianfeng.

On the battlefield on the British Island, the smoke of gunfire is filled. The pure and genuine British army and the British Eight Banners fought bloodily for their respective masters in the smoke of gunpowder. Whenever the genuine British troops lined up to brave the rain of guns and shells to rush to the battlefield of the British Eight Banners of the Qing Army, the two sides fought for a while, and then were repulsed or completely annihilated by the reinforcements of the British Eight Banners.

After months of training with Stronghold, the British Eight Banners also began to crave war, even if their opponents were their own compatriots. It doesn't matter, for people who have been using Dianabol for a long time, only war can relieve the restless energy in their body.

In order to solve the hidden dangers in the homeland, the British army also sent a large army to storm the positions of the Qing army, but the British army suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Qing army's artillery and guns, and half of the 100,000 British troops who participated in the attack that day could not stand up forever or needed amputation and lost their combat effectiveness forever.

The Qing army's 60,000 British Eight Banners blocked the 17 charges of 100,000 British troops, but because more than half of the British Eight Banners were also equipped with iron cans, and the rest were at least equipped with cuirasses and helmets, the Qing Army's British Eight Banners suffered no more than 10,000 casualties in a day of fierce fighting, and most of them were lost in melee and artillery battles.

For such a battle loss exchange ratio, the Qing army commander Lin Kui expressed his satisfaction. Lin Kui received the news that the total number of troops prepared by the British army did not exceed 350,000 genuine British troops. This is a one-to-five exchange for the British Eight Banners under his own hands, and 60,000 British Eight Banners can be exchanged for 300,000 genuine real British soldiers. As for the remaining 50,000, how can the troops with more than seventy or eighty percent of the battle losses still have combat effectiveness. Lin Kui even felt that such a desperate onslaught by the British army would never last more than three days.
