"Looks like I'm going to have to talk to Henry, his land here should be expanding, Louis obviously can't manage so much land, and the knights of the Duke of Normandy are actually obeying the Pope behind his back. Bring me another bowl, this noodle is also delicious, but it tends to get on your beard and is a bit troublesome to clean up. "Friedrich II is really good at eating while chatting, Hong Tao originally planned to eat three bowls for himself and give him two bowls, but the emperor who ate noodles for the first time actually ate faster than himself, and saw that the second bowl was gone, and he still had half a bowl left.

"Hey, wait, there's someone on the dock saying hello to you! Come on, come on, put the lamp in your palm, and let the people on the riverbank see His Majesty the Emperor clearly! Hong Tao would definitely not let the emperor snatch his third bowl of noodles, but he couldn't just say that you are not allowed to eat it, so he found a job for the emperor to do, and then retreated to the back and quickly stuffed the noodles in the bowl into his mouth.

What Friedrich II and the people on the shore shouted, Hong Tao didn't understand, he didn't care, after eating the third bowl of noodles, he patted his stomach and went back to sleep in the cabin, if nothing else, he should be at sea tomorrow when he woke up. Little Louis and the Pope first remembered that they had fled so embarrassed that they had fallen into the wilderness, it was impossible not to retaliate, and Hong Tao himself could not forgive himself for his revenge, as for how to retaliate, let's see! Don't let me catch your shortcomings, when the time comes, you two must run from Paris to the beach, and start a noble marathon.

"Alas...... I can't disobey the old! Hong Tao slept longer than expected, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already past noon, and he was indeed tired yesterday. Even the biological clock has lost its effect. A simple wash in the cabin. I found a new outfit to change into. I moved my legs and feet again, and I felt that my limbs were still a little sore. I slept all night and didn't slow down.,This shows that the vitality of the body is slowly declining with age.,I used to toss more than this when I played ice hockey in Canada.,But after a night's sleep, there's no.,Think about yourself and you're almost forty.,It's better to toss less in the future.。

"Sir, are you going to have lunch now?" We fished for a tuna in the morning. I just made a fish carp. "The navigator saw Hong Tao coming out, and this time he had a long memory, so he hurriedly asked for warmth first.

"Hey, hey, hey...... There is progress, this time I will go back and write a summary, and if I pass, I will let you be a trainee captain, but I will continue to be a navigator! Where have we been? Hong Tao patted the navigator on the head and gave him a sweet date to eat. It's not to fool people, this time when I go back, Hong Tao plans to blow up the warship, and transfer some of the craftsmen in Jinhe Bay to the shipyard in Phuket, and build them together. Within a year, at least five more Shark-class ships will be equipped. Cape Town could not be left without a warship escort, and the main fleet that was heading north to harass the Mongols had to be strengthened.

"Just past 50 degrees north latitude. As you drive north along 3 degrees east longitude, the strait here seems to be much wider, and the North Sea is the windy and rough North Sea you mentioned. The navigator laughed so happily, from the navigator to the midshipman captain, the first mate was omitted in the middle, and the voyage was worth it!

"Well, drive along the right coast, don't get too close, there are a lot of reefs here, add an extra lookout, draw its flag and count the ships when you see them. Is His Majesty the Emperor still in the bilge? Did he come up for lunch? Hong Tao glanced at the chart, and he was not very familiar with the area north of the English Channel, so the drawing was very inaccurate, and he had to revise the data while measuring the data.

"The three of them have eaten! I'll go get the tools and I'll map you myself! "The navigator's excitement has not yet passed, and he always wants to show more in front of Hong Tao.

"For someone else, you're now the acting captain, not the navigator. Hold your breath, do your part, and don't let your captaincy fly away from your hands. Hong Tao poured a little cold water on the navigator, young people are easy to get excited, enthusiasm is a good thing, but after that, it may be wrong.

Most of the maritime trade in the Middle Ages was concentrated in the Mediterranean, but the North Sea was not a non-existent area, it was the home of the Vikings, and although the Vikings who were good at seafaring spent most of their passion on pirate robbery, as long as they put out a small amount of energy, they still did not inferior to the main business of piracy.

In the 13th century, there were already three of the five Nordic kingdoms, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Norway, and the Kingdom of Sweden, with Iceland occupied by Norway and Finland under Swedish rule. Among them, the Norwegians and Danes were more keen to go out and be pirates, and they robbed the British Isles, the west coast of France, and the Iberian Peninsula, and the Normans all over France and the northern shores of the Mediterranean were their descendants. The Swedes preferred to trade with the sea, and the Germanic and Slavic peoples at that time were the objects of their trade, and even traded with the Azarians through the road passage of the Byzantine kingdom.

By the thirteenth century, the Danes had grown stronger, becoming the first constitutional monarchy, and had designed the first flag, a white cross on a red background, called the Danish Power. At this time, there was no concept of the national flag in Europe, and the private flags of various lords were raised when they went out to fight, such as the army of Friedrich II, which carried his Black Eagle flag, and the army of the Kingdom of Germany in his empire, which carried the banner of the German king.

In history, another 100 years will be the most glorious era of the Danes, who took Norway and Sweden under their umbrella and formed a Kalmar League to fight the growing Hanseatic League. At that time, Denmark was the king of Northern Europe, and the five Nordic countries were all under its control, and the territory was larger than now, not a little west of the strait, and many of Sweden's territories east of the Øresund Strait were also its, and the Swedish cities of Helsingborg and Malmö were all established by the Danes at that time.

If you look at the flags of the five Nordic countries, you will see that they are so similar. Sweden has a yellow cross on a blue background, Finland has a blue cross on a white background, except for the different colors, the style and design are the same. Norway has a blue cross on a red background, but the Norwegians have done a little bit of processing and traced a white circle on the edge of the blue cross. Icelanders take a look, yes, let's not design blindly, several bosses have set the tone, let's take the Norwegian flag over and change the color, into a blue background red cross plus white circle, which is different and ensures that the general direction is consistent, this is the consciousness of the little brother!

Generally speaking, the five Nordic countries are a family, but they didn't split up together later. If you live in Europe for a long time, you will find that Europeans also engage in regional discrimination. Western Europeans laughed at the Eastern Europeans for being savages, Germans complained that the Italians and the French were lazy, the French looked down on the British and said that they ate sheep dung and eggs all day long, the Italians in turn squeezed the Germans as a tendon, the Dutch laughed at the Belgians for being the doglegs of France, the Belgians laughed at the Luxembourgers that the country was not as big as the stadium, and the Luxembourgers laughed at all Europeans for being poor......

But few Europeans will laugh at the people of the five Nordic countries, because the five Nordic countries have a better life than the old United States, and the first to realize communism is probably one of the five of them. In addition, Europeans more or less have Nordic blood, and the purebred Germanic people admired by the mustache are Nordics, all of them are blonde and blue-eyed, and their skin is snow-white! The mustache once complained that even most of the Germans were not purebred Germans, but Slavophilized Germans. Who is willing to discriminate against their ancestors? Although Europeans don't talk about it, they have always had the concept of ancestors in their hearts.

However, the five Nordic countries are not peaceful, let alone peaceful, not even harmonious, Denmark and Sweden are a pair of enemies, looking down on each other to the extreme. The Danes said that the Swedes were thieves who not only robbed the land of Denmark, but also stole the Danish flag. Many Danish tourist brochures include the phrase: Laugh at the Swedes!

That alone is not enough to describe the state of the rivalry between Denmark and Sweden. Before the Thirty Years' War, Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, was the largest city in Northern Europe and known as the capital of Scandinavia. Later, the Swedes gained the upper hand and began to build Stockholm with one goal, surpassing Copenhagen to become the real capital of Scandinavia. The Swedes have achieved their goal, Stockholm is indeed bigger than Copenhagen, but the Swedes are not very satisfied, what the Danes build in Copenhagen, the Swedes immediately build one in Stockholm as it is.

The Danes built a round tower, and the Swedes built one, a circle thicker than the Danes; The Danes built pedestrian streets in Copenhagen, and the Swedes also built them in Stockholm, which are not much longer than the Danes, just one meter, isn't this vindictive; The Danes built the town hall, and the Swedes built it, and in the end it was one meter taller than the Danes, and it was so unrelenting! And every time the Danes built it first, and the Swedes followed suit, this kind of Laipi Lai's face practice makes the Danes have no way but to scold shamelessly, and they can't be demolished and heightened.

Later, the Danes finally found a way to surpass the Swedes, and they could adjust it at will, and that was the price! Copenhagen and Stockholm are both cities with high prices, but the Danes don't think it's enough to get enough of it, and try to make Copenhagen a little higher than Stockholm before they are satisfied.

But the Danes are not stupid, they have to make money where they should make it, especially when it comes to making money from the Swedes! Everything in Copenhagen is almost more expensive than in Stockholm, except for alcohol, which is cheaper than everywhere in Sweden. Danes like to go to Germany because things are cheaper than in Denmark, just as Canadians like to go shopping in the United States. The Swedes like to drink, and the Nordic countries like to drink, so the Danes were born to create two world-famous liquor companies from the Swedes. Carlsberg and Touburg avenged the Danes, and the money they made from the Swedes every year went to sea.
