347 Russo-Swedish War

In 1662, the capital of Moscow of the Russian Empire.

"This Jobs is really interesting, in the name of confronting me, he fooled the people into launching a military coup d'Γ©tat to get to power, and then turned around and begged for peace.

After seizing the power in Sweden and controlling the army of the Kingdom of Sweden, it is a consistent routine of politicians to turn around and kick the Swedish people away.

It's a pity that he used this in the wrong place, I, Hong Tiancheng, am not a vegetarian, and I have to pay a price for using my name to fight against me!

Senmian, do you know what I mean? ”

In a secret room in the Kremlin, Hong Tiancheng said to the thousand-faced fake tsar with Jobs's secret letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the main military force of the Russian Empire is now being used to recover the rebellious Kingdom of Siberia, although the army of the Kingdom of Siberia is not large, but the location environment is very bad, and the army is moving slowly, it is difficult to quell the rebellion of the Kingdom of Siberia in a short time.

The self-proclaimed royal family of the Kingdom of Siberia has repeatedly sent me letters saying that they are willing to resubmit themselves to the Russian Empire, but they want to ensure the continuation of their family's glory, which is contrary to the centralized system advocated by His Majesty the Emperor, so I have never agreed. ”

Thousand Faces complained.

"It's been three years, even the rebels in Estonia and Latvia have been suppressed, but the Kingdom of Siberia hasn't even finished half of their land, and it seems that it is even more remote than I imagined."

"Your Majesty, it is because of logistical problems that our army has been unable to fully occupy the entire Siberia, a large area of Siberia is deserted, and all food and other materials rely on logistics supplies, and the army of the Kingdom of Siberia always attacks the long logistics line in small groups, resulting in our failure to send a large number of troops into the hinterland of Siberia."

Senmian added.

"In that case, let's agree to the request of the Siberian royal family, anyway, there is not much value to us, temporarily turn Siberia into a 'special zone', only allow the nobles to have traditional rights there, and then encourage people within the empire to go to Siberia to reclaim, as long as the reclamation is a year, they are allowed to become free people, and after a long time, there will naturally be more people there, and we can also control Siberia more deeply.

After reconciling with Siberia, you will mobilize the whole power of the Russian Empire to attack the Kingdom of Sweden, and unless Jobs surrenders, you will pull him off my horse!

I can't get used to this kind of opportunist who relies on my name to get in the position, and this time, I want to let him lose all his money! ”

Under Hong Tiancheng's strict order, Qianmian hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty the Heavenly King, the current Russian Empire has been in war all year round, the financial deficit has been exhausted, and after the entire Russian Empire military aristocracy has been eliminated, there is an extreme lack of generals in the army who can fight well, and the combat effectiveness of the new Russian army is not strong, and many troops use backward weapons, not even flintlock pistols.

Moreover, the remnants of the exiled aristocracy in the country have been inciting public opinion among the people, using the Russian Empire to attach themselves to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and be the slaves of the Han people to stir up trouble, so although the number of new troops is large, the morale of the battle is not high. ”

"It doesn't matter if the morale is not high, anyway, it's not us Han people who are dead, on the basis of not affecting your rule, drive as many new Russian troops as possible to the Kingdom of Sweden, even if it is to consume Jobs's strength.

As long as it is guaranteed that there will be no big losses in the Moscow Janissaries, the Russian Empire will still be ours! ”

Hong Tiancheng replied indifferently.

Now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom only has three elite grenadier divisions, and they are all staying in Poland to suppress the rebellion in order to attack the Holy Roman Empire.

Hong Tiancheng also knew that after the Russian Empire lost its mainstay military aristocracy, and after it was attached to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the overall combat capability and morale of the army were far lower than those at the peak of the Russian Empire, but no matter how much it declined, the size of the Russian Empire was there.

With the system of compulsory military service signed by the false tsar of the Russian Empire himself, more than 100,000 troops of the rank can be recruited in the vast land of the Russian Empire!

Provided, of course, that the tsarist government could afford it......

However, the tsarist government could not afford to raise 100,000 field regiments at the same time, but it could be conscripted into the battlefield little by little, and after recruiting a group of people who died on the battlefield or were captured by the enemy, they did not need to continue to bear their salaries and logistical supplies, and then used these missing shares to recruit new soldiers, and then pull them to the battlefield, and so on, so as to achieve a steady stream of war of attrition.

Raise troops with the money of the Russian people, and then send the brothers and sons of the Russian people to the battlefield to fight, whether it is the loss of wealth or the death of personnel, Hong Tiancheng will not feel distressed.

This is the purpose of Hong Tiancheng's efforts to support the Russian Empire!

The benefits of being a vassal of such a large empire are undoubtedly huge, equivalent to one more thug brother with super potential, but this kind of example cannot be replicated by other countries, because no one can find a tsar like Hong Tiancheng who has a large empire, but is willing to be loyal to others as a subordinate!

"Yes, Your Majesty, I know what to do." Senmian bowed and replied.

"Remember, send more troops to the border of the Kingdom of Sweden and then attack, the Swedish army was bewitched by Jobs and full of revenge, and was very eager to recover Finland, so it was necessary to be careful to maintain the front.

Moreover, it is necessary to control the speech within the Russian Empire as much as possible, and any speech that is not conducive to the rule of the Empire in the local area must be traced back to the source, and it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one!

Public opinion may seem inconspicuous, but if public opinion is completely tilted against the enemy, it will become a big problem for us.

Rest assured, when I settle the Holy Roman Empire, I will go back and help you train a 'modern' army. ”

"Thank Your Majesty for cultivation!"

In the spring of 1662, the Tsar of the Russian Empire published the secret letter of Steve Jobs, the current king of Sweden, and portrayed it as a cunning man who deceived the Swedish people.

Of course, the government of the Kingdom of Sweden, led by Jobs, completely denied this secret letter and immediately launched a national war mobilization order, in an attempt to fulfill its promise to recover Finland's lost territory.

Obviously, Jobs knew that the peace talks had failed, and there was only one way to go, even if he was no longer willing to fight, he could not stretch out his neck and let the enemy cut it off.

However, the Russian Empire, which had been prepared for a long time, crossed the border of the Kingdom of Sweden in the second month after the publication of the secret letter.

The Russian-Swedish war has officially begun!
