329 Begging and conditions
Compared with Jobs's happiness, Hong Tiancheng on the side of the Taiping Army was in a dilemma after getting the news.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Roman Empire's troops this time are strong and menacing, and the Habsburgs even gave up the campaign to recover Hungary from the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and transferred the main force to attack the Kingdom of Poland, where the two elite grenadier divisions that were besieged and damaged could not hold out for long."
The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Xue Taishen, persuaded him.
Hong Tiancheng frowned, stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the map of Eastern Europe, sighed silently and asked, "Xue Taishen, is it because the parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden has privately conveyed the intention of armistice to abandon the war in the Kingdom of Sweden?"
You must know that the main force of the Taiping army turned back to Poland and had to cross half of Eastern Europe, and if the war in the Kingdom of Sweden had not stopped, I would not have been able to do that. ”
"Your Majesty, the kingdom of Sweden has reached its limit, their parliament is under great pressure, and at least hundreds of Swedes will be swallowed up by this war every day, so the kingdom of Sweden hopes to reach an armistice."
"Oh? What about Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom? Not long ago, they had just sent tens of thousands of regular troops to fight against our army. ”
Hong Tiancheng asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, after the defeat of the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway in that battle, there was a great repercussion at home, and if the Kingdom of Sweden truces the war, the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway will not continue to provoke." Xue Taishen explained.
"Well, I want to hear the conditions that the Kingdom of Sweden has made in private, the parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden should be very clear that the war has been fought for so long, and the Taiping Army has suffered such a large loss, it is impossible to have an unconditional truce no matter what, if it were not for the sudden intervention of the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Sweden would definitely be wiped out in this war!"
"His Majesty is right, the group of people in the parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden, this bit of political wisdom is still there, they just want to keep their position, let Sweden take a breath from the war and resume production, now the Kingdom of Sweden because of the civil war and the war of resistance, the treasury has long been empty, there is no reparation to pay, so the Kingdom of Sweden wants to cede Finland to achieve begging terms."
"Finland, the group of nobles in the parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden are really willing, and they have set aside a third of the territory for me at once, hehe."
Hong Tiancheng turned around, poured himself a glass of red wine with a smile on his face, took a sip, and said with a happy expression: "However, the Finnish region is also a nation conquered by the Kingdom of Sweden later, ceding Finland will not hurt the basic plate of the Kingdom of Sweden, but it can make the Kingdom of Sweden, which has declined greatly, throw away a burden, the Swedish Parliament's calculation is not a loss, those Finns who live in the mountains, but they are very disobedient, the Swedish Parliament is very clear in their hearts, our Taiping Army wants to completely digest Finland, I don't know how long it will take to fight the law and order war, and the mountainous terrain and cold climate of Finland are not suitable for the Taiping army to exert its combat strength.
Not only can the truce gain time, but also can plunge the kingdom of heaven into an endless war of law and order, hehe, in the eyes of these white natives, maybe the future kingdom of Sweden can enjoy peace for at least a few decades.
It's a pity that they don't know what my greatest reliance is, all I need is victory and land, and the Kingdom of Sweden will take the initiative to send it, and of course we will take it. ”
In the all-out war system, once the Kingdom of Sweden cedes Finland to surrender to the armistice, Hong Tiancheng's war during this period of time will be settled victoriously, and Hong Tiancheng will once again receive a large number of military rewards and prestige increases, and naturally he will not care about a group of Finnish guerrillas living in the mountains.
To put it bluntly, Hong Tiancheng is not very interested in the kingdom of Sweden that has been beaten to ruins, and the reason why he is attacking so hard is just for the reward score of victory and the all-out war system.
"Your Majesty, have you agreed to the terms of the armistice of the Kingdom of Sweden?"
"Of course I agree, there is not only a reward to be taken, but also to free up the main force of the Taiping Army to deal with the invading enemy of the Holy Roman Empire, why should I refuse?" In front of Xue Taishen, a system figure, Hong Tiancheng naturally does not need to be the secret of the all-out war system.
In a sense, Hong Tiancheng and the system characters under his command are actually one, one prosperous, one loss.
"Your Majesty, before the armistice, the parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden wants you to renounce your support for Karl X and the title of Prince of Sweden awarded by Karl X, only in this way can the parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden give an account to the people and then fulfill the armistice agreement."
"Karl X's body is cold, I naturally will not continue to support him, the Prince of Sweden and the Kingdom of Sweden will never admit it, and there is nothing to lose if I give up, as long as I still have Kristina, the wife of the former Queen of Sweden, it is not difficult to create a pretext for war to return to the Kingdom of Sweden.
The parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden has solemnly put forward such an inconsequential demand, and it seems that their prestige among the Swedish people is really in jeopardy, but this nominal 'victory' against the common people can play a certain role in reassuring people. ”
Hong Tiancheng replied in a mocking tone.
Hong Tiancheng could figure out with his ass that his renunciation of the politically meaningless title of Prince of Sweden and the support for the dead ghost Karl X would be exaggerated and publicized by the Swedish parliament as a great victory......
The seemingly lost war will even be turned upside down by the scheming politicians in the Swedish parliament and preached as a 'Q-style victory' of the Swedish nation against the invasion of the tyrant, which is used too much on the earth in the 21st century.
The lack of war reparations can be said to be the benevolence and tolerance of a great power, and the cession of land can be said to be a support for local national independence, and in the mouths of politicians, anything can be plastered with a reasonable reason, and it can be proclaimed as a spiritual political victory with the power of the media in control......
Ordinary people only care about oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on weekdays, how many people will really think about the meaning?
Therefore, most civilians are just mouthpieces for government propaganda tools, and they will only listen to the superficial propaganda, and will not think about such state affairs that have nothing to do with their own lives.
Of course, if there are other political forces above who want to make trouble, carry out-for-tat negative propaganda, and expose the pros and cons among the people, it will be different, the people will have a sense of humiliation of being deceived by the government, and then set off a **, at this time, coupled with the promotion of some careerists, maybe a revolution will break out.
It's just that what does this have to do with Hong Tiancheng?
