It's just that the legendary Peter the Great was disappointed again, his calculations were completely in vain, Charles' subordinate Lienskode defeated the Saxons again, forcing Peter the Great to abandon the heavy artillery and baggage in a panic and run away, while Charles pursued until Pinsk before letting go of Peter the Great, who was running fast. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After this, there is a small episode, and Charlie, who is ready to solve Auguste with all his might, runs into a small trouble. At the time of his beating of Peter the Great, the English and their allies had just won the Battle of Ramie, and at this time they did not want a moth in the heart of the European continent, and Charles's strength aroused the vigilance of the British, who suspected that Charles had been bribed by Louis XIV to sabotage. The cautious British sent their god of war, the Duke of Marlborough, to check out Charlie's reality.

Speaking of this Duke of Marlborough, one has to mention one person, remember our old friend Churchill? Churchill had a close relationship with the Duke of Marlborough, specifically the first Duke of Marlborough was Churchill's direct ancestor.

The Duke of Marlborough, or John by his first name. Winston Churchill, the first Duke of Marlborough, was Winston. Sir Churchill's son (don't get me wrong, this Winston really wasn't an old smoker).

This John. Winston Churchill was arguably Britain's most brilliant military genius, and of course, the first Duke of Marlborough was not necessarily a good one, at least like the later Prime Minister, he was also quite adept at maneuvering with power, an out-and-out strategist (or conspirator), and his character was extremely resolute enough to admit all suffering.

The digression is said here, back to Charles XII's side, when the first Duke of Marlborough met with Charles, the suspicion of Charles's fornication with France was quickly ruled out, so the old Duke of Churros immediately suggested that the British government perfunctory the king, so in September 1706, Charles and August signed the "Altranstedt Treaty", specifically Auguste abolished the alliance with Peter the Great and recognized the Polish king supported by Charles XII, In other words, Peter the Great was going to war with the Swedes alone.

The situation was that the whole of Europe was not optimistic about Peter the Great, believing that Charles XII could destroy Russia and the Tsar (which he almost did). Faced with this extremely bad situation, Peter the Great adopted the only effective strategy in the face of repeated Russian aggression - to stretch the battle line, strengthen the wall, and use the cold "Winter General" to deal with the enemy.

In September 1707, Charles XII began the conquest from Silesia with 24,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry (to tell the truth, there were not many people), but the battle did not break out again in this year, and Charles XII stayed on the road for more than four months until January of the following year.

First of all, on January 26, 1708, when Charles heard that Peter the Great had arrived at the front, he immediately led 900 cavalry to accelerate his advance, and effortlessly broke through the position of the 2,000 cavalry of the Russian army stationed on the bridge over the Koemon River, and rushed into the fortress.

At that time, Peter the Great was prepared to be coaxed, believing that as long as he continued to flee eastward, Charles XII would not continue the pursuit, and he felt that the Swedes were more likely to recover the lost territory in the Baltic. But Charlie played a big joke on him, and the young monarch was staring at Peter the Great, chasing after the Great's ass all the way. It wasn't until July 8 of that year that Charles XII entered Ukraine and captured Mogilev, and two months later, on September 9, Charles finally found the Russian army in Dobley, and after two hours of fighting, the Russians collapsed. There is basically nothing to say about the next road, that is, Charlie XII went all the way to the east, and the Russian army was defeated all the way. Anyway, Peter the Great was not ready to go head-to-head with Charles XII, and he waited for General Winter to completely weaken the Swedes before picking up the bargain.

It should be said that this tactic worked, and both Charles XII and later Napoleon and Hitler were killed by this trick. Then there was the well-known Battle of Poltava, in the end the Swedes lost, but in the process the Russians really deserved the title of a fighting nation, and the Russians were on the verge of collapse for a time, and Peter the Great would not have been Peter the Great if it had not been for a wrong order (in fact, at the most critical time, the Emperor was already preparing to run away, and if it were not for the fact that the Swedes were out of line because of the wrong order, the outcome of this battle is really difficult to say).

And after the Battle of Poltava, Peter the Great was not the wise emperor we imagined, after Poltava, Peter the Great lost almost all the fruits of his hard-won victory, and he made the exact same mistake as Charles XII - going deep into enemy territory without transportation and supplies.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Charles XII, because the king fled to Turkey, and Peter the Great, thinking that he could beat Turkey, forced Turkey to hand over Charles XII. Then the war between Russia and Turkey broke out, and Peter the Great planted a big fight, and finally had to negotiate peace with Turkey in embarrassment (the terms were very unfavorable to Russia, such as the cession of Assyria, the demolition of fortresses such as Taganrog, and the prohibition of interference in the internal affairs of Poland, and the right to give Charles XII the right to return freely to his homeland). In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Turks were not very firm, there would be no need to negotiate peace at all, because Russia would definitely be defeated, but it is a pity that Turkey at this time was no longer a great power in the Suleiman period. ）

Continuing with the story of Charles XII later, in 1713, the Turks chose to send Charles XII off and demanded that Charles XII leave Turkey immediately. However, the king flatly refused, and on February 1 of that year, he was surrounded by the Turks on the bend. During the eight-hour duel, Charles XII fought a battle of 12,000 Turkish troops with 40 men defending a meager cabin, killing about 200 Turks (10 of whom he had personally killed) before he was captured.

Note that the story of this fierce king was not over, for in 1714 Charles XII passed through Austria and Germany almost single-handedly, and throughout 1715 he defended Stralsund almost single-handedly, and for a whole year he faced the combined forces of Hanover, Russia, Prussia, Saxony and Denmark until the city was completely destroyed. After returning to Sweden, the king continued to fight to the end, but sadly, in 1718 at the fortress of Frederikstadt in Norway, a stray bullet ended the life of the heroic king at the age of 36.

It was only after the death of Charles XII that Sweden was kicked off the throne of the Nordic hegemon, and Russia gained a firm foothold with great difficulty, and Finland was also snatched from Sweden at that time. Let's put it this way, Sweden and Russia can be said to be feuding, and they are naturally not to deal with.

For the Swedes, it is good to know that the First World War completely crushed Tsarist Russia, and the loss of Finland, Poland and Russia, which had to face a blockade of all Europe, was almost a dead dog. Anyway, the Swedes breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would not have to face bear-like neighbors in the future. It's just that God played an international joke on the Swedes, and the demise of Tsarist Russia in history did not mean the destruction of Russia, but on the contrary, the Russians came to a phoenix nirvana, which became the most powerful period since the existence of Russia. Sweden in those decades was really hard to force, and there was no security at all.

This is still history, and in this time and space, the situation faced by Sweden is even worse and worse. Let's talk about them one by one, first of all, Finland in the east, historically Finland and the Soviet Union had a general relationship because of the dry fight. Although Finland adopted a strategy of neither getting closer to the Soviet Union nor offending it, on the whole, Finland was closer to Sweden than ever before.

However, in this time and space, although Finland and the Soviet Union were at odds because of the independence issue and the territorial issue, with the creation of a special zone by a certain immortal, the contradiction did not break out, and as time passed, both the Finns and the Soviet Union accepted this reasonable result, and the relationship became harmonious. There was no war, no mortal enmity, and although Finland did not fall to the Soviet Union in World War II, a large number of heavy industries in the Vyborg Special Zone still helped the Soviet Union greatly, and the relationship between the two sides became closer.

At this time, the Soviet Union was not worried about Finland making trouble for itself, and Finland was not afraid of the Soviet Union coming to the door. And good relations between Finland and the Soviet Union meant that the Swedes were not at ease. What if Finland and the Soviet Union colluded together to get themselves into a hole?

This worry reached a climax after the Soviet Union occupied Norway in World War II, and we can see very clearly from the map that Finland and Norway are just sandwiched between Sweden, and now Finland is close to the Soviet Union, and Norway has become the little brother of the Soviet Union, which means that the surrounding space of Sweden has been all dyed with Soviet colors, especially after Denmark was taken by the Soviet Union, the Swedes simply can't breathe, and it is obvious that Sweden has been surrounded by the Soviet Union!

The Swedes are understandably worried, and whoever is surrounded by enemies in history will have to go crazy. Especially when this enemy is still extremely strong, it is all too normal for the Swedes to have delusions of persecution.

Therefore, the Swedes at this time were a little hysterical, and as soon as they heard that the United States, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Belgium were going to give the Soviet Union a little color, he naturally happily went to join, and he felt a little organized. It can even be said that the Swedes are the most motivated of these countries, and if Denmark can be freed from the clutches of the Soviet Union, then he will have a way out.

So what exactly is happening in Denmark? It is still the Danish government-in-exile that is making trouble, and the Danish royal family is all over, but the Danish government-in-exile is in the hands of the British, and naturally the British want to take the opportunity to find trouble. When the Soviet Union occupied Denmark, Britain encouraged the Danish government-in-exile to ask the Soviet Union for state power. Naturally, the Soviet Union would not agree, and then the situation became known to the above-mentioned countries, and they immediately united to support the Danish government-in-exile and jointly put pressure on the Soviet Union to recognize the Danish government-in-exile and return Danish sovereignty.

There was a lot of turmoil in this matter, the media of the whole of Northern and Western Europe were mobilized, wave after wave of waves were constantly beating the Soviet Union, and the civil forces of the whole of Western and Northern Europe were mobilized, and it seemed to be huge anyway.

"We must be cautious in the Danish question," Trotsky could not resist the pressure, "and now public opinion is very unfavorable to us, and some media have already called the Red Army the aggressor!" ”

Trotsky was still old-fashioned, he cared a lot about fame and face, and he didn't think Denmark had a particularly important strategic value, anyway, the Red Army had already taken over Norway, and it was already possible to face the North Atlantic, and it would not be a pity for Denmark to lose it.

But Sverdlov and Li Xiaofeng did not see it that way, the former never gave up the idea that Western Europe was the center of gravity of the future revolution, let alone Denmark, and even resented not being able to enter the Netherlands and Belgium. As for Li Xiaofeng, he is very practical, Denmark is the gate of the Baltic Sea, and if Denmark is ceded to the West, it will be very inconvenient for the Baltic Fleet to enter and exit. What's more, in his opinion, Denmark is already the meat that the Soviet Union has eaten in its mouth, where is the reason to spit it out?

Trotsky couldn't convince Li Xiaofeng and Sverdlov when he saw it, and he didn't bother to care about it, anyway, he would retire in a few days, and he didn't want to touch this kind of. So in the end, this matter fell on Li Xiaofeng and Sverdlov, but although neither of them advocated abandoning Denmark, their specific strategies for dealing with the Danish issue were different.

Sverdlov was an advocate of taking the initiative, and he felt that the reason why France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden would make trouble for the Soviets over Denmark was because they could not recognize the situation and could scare these bastards away if they showed their muscles.

So what Sverdlov meant: "Temporarily stop the transfer of the Ruhr area to France and conduct large-scale military exercises on the Dutch-Belgian border." As for Sweden, let the Red Navy go out, scare and scare them, let them know who is in charge of Europe now! ”

Li Xiaofeng completely disagreed with Sverdlov's approach, he felt that Xiao Si's doing this would not only not solve the problem, but would make things out of control. The reason is very simple, the Soviet Union had reached an agreement with the French before, and if the transfer of the Ruhr area was suspended, it would only make the French feel that the Soviet Union was treacherous, so could the two sides still reach an agreement in the future? Moreover, it is even more stupid to intimidate Belgium and the Netherlands, which were already frightened by the Soviet Union, and objectively speaking, they provoked trouble in Denmark out of self-defense. People are already afraid of you, but if you threaten again, won't it make him even more afraid of you? Didn't this push them completely over the side of the British?

Obviously, if this is really done, France, which has cooperated well before, will definitely turn its face, and the Netherlands and Belgium are even more determined to follow Britain and the United States. That would be tantamount to pushing these countries into the arms of Britain and the United States.

Li Xiaofeng believes that this is completely a willful approach, and only children can handle international relations in this way. He said: "We do not need to overreact, the most fundamental reason why these countries support the Danish government-in-exile is because they do not trust our country, they have fallen into the Anglo-American trick, thinking that our ultimate goal is to destroy them, so they are busy applauding the so-called government-in-exile." I don't think we should be more patient with countries that don't trust and don't understand us. What's more, they are just talking about it now, Denmark is under the full control of the Red Army, what can they do if they shout through the sky? Just ignore them! ”

This remark is very reasonable, in the first place, the sudden rise of the Soviet Union has made these countries insecure, and it is not enough to shout in a sense of crisis? Even if they pay lip service to the Danish government-in-exile, as long as they don't directly resort to force, what is there to worry about? Could it be that just because people are blind and **** two big truths, the Soviet Union is going to pick up a stick and beat people? That's too overbearing, isn't it?

Even Li Xiaofeng believes that the current situation is simply a trick of Britain and the United States, and does the British and Americans not know that it is impossible for the Danish government-in-exile to ********? They are clear, but why do they agitate, it is nothing more than digging a hole, France and the Soviet Union have been eye-brow before, they are very worried, once they can no longer form an anti-Soviet cluster in Western Europe, Britain's security is guaranteed? In order to build such an alliance, it is necessary first to put France and other countries in opposition to the Soviet Union, and to worsen the relations between these countries and the Soviet Union. Is there a better way than to let the Soviet Union take the initiative to be the villain?

It can be said that once the Soviet Union falls into this evil trap, the situation in Western Europe will change in an all-round way, and once France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden think that the Soviet Union will not even give them the right to speak, and let them think that the Soviet Union is still preparing to carry out expansion in Western Europe, then they must hug the thigh of Britain and the United States.

Anyway, this kind of evil is absolutely not on Li Xiaofeng, if you are willing to shout and shout, then just call. Anyway, I, the Soviet Union, should not have heard, whatever you say, as long as you do not actually support the Danish government-in-exile, I can act as if nothing happened. If you don't have any patience at all, what kind of superpower should you be?

To put it bluntly, as long as the actual interests of the Soviet Union in Denmark are not lost, Li Xiaofeng will not bother to care about the calls of these countries, and there is no need at all. Anyway, the Soviet Union has already taken advantage, and it can't let people get over it?

Of course, Sverdlov is not unaware of this truth, but he has always wanted to continue to promote the world revolution, so naturally he wants to make trouble. So his choice can be regarded as a butt to decide the head, of course, his way of doing it belongs to politics. Trotsky and Dzerzhinsky would never agree to him doing so.

So Britain and the United States were soon disappointed, because Denmark was thundering and raining, and even if they shouted through their throats, the Soviet Union was unmoved, not only did it not have any counterattacks and provocations, but even seriously carried out the withdrawal of troops from Germany, and the millions of troops that originally poured into Germany were withdrawn by half in one go, and in the next six months, the remaining Red Army will be withdrawn by half. Even the Soviet ambassador to France directly told de Gaulle that by January 1, 1947 at the latest, the Red Army would completely withdraw from Germany, and that Germany would become a demilitarized zone in the future.

It has to be said that this promise made de Gaulle and France very happy, and De Gaulle was also very skeptical of the sincerity of the Soviet Union, believing that the Soviet withdrawal would not be so pleasant, but the reality is that the Soviets are not sloppy at all when they do things according to the rules. The main thing is that de Gaulle saw that even if France did not completely side with the Soviet Union on the Danish issue, the Soviet Union did not say anything, which made him feel that the Soviet Union could still deal with it.

Of course, to tell the truth, de Gaulle was still very worried before, and supporting the Danish government was a painful choice for him, because he did not dare to offend Britain and the United States too much, and since Britain and the United States had already made harsh remarks on this issue, France could not be completely wrong. Therefore, de Gaulle's choice was to only wave the flag and shout without giving substantial support to the Danish government-in-exile. However, de Gaulle was still very worried about the political wisdom of the Soviet leaders and about the indiscriminate attacks of polar bears. He also made a point of explaining to the French ambassador to the Soviet Union that if things got out of control again, he would immediately go and explain to the Soviets.

However, in the end, it turned out that such fears were unnecessary, and the Soviet Union understood France's predicament very well, and did not overreact at all, and did not even note the French ambassador to protest against Shenma. And the strict implementation of the previous agreement made de Gaulle still in a pretty good mood.

Judging from de Gaulle's attitude, in fact, the big guys can also see that national politics is so shameless. Nominally French support for the Danish government-in-exile is in fact something else. In fact, the attitude of the Netherlands and Belgium is similar, do you really think that they are iron-hearted to support the Danish government-in-exile and can do whatever it takes to do so? Don't be stupid, everything is a play, it's not that the British and American sides can't explain it, they can only make a show.

Of course, Belgium and the Netherlands were also scared enough at the time, for fear that the polar bears would go crazy, but then they saw that the polar bears were withdrawing in an orderly manner, and they simply didn't bother to call.

The most embarrassing of them all were the Swedes, who really didn't like the Soviet Union and really wanted to help the Danish government-in-exile restore the country. But who would have thought that the allies would not be able to do anything one by one, and in the end, they were the only ones who had real action (to give financial support to the Danish government-in-exile) and they were dumbfounded...... (To be continued.) )
