In early May 1659, as the sound of gunfire filled the sky outside Vyborg, Steve Jobs, the supreme leader of the Christian Brotherhood, stood alone in front of a huge sand table, staring and contemplating.

A dusty figure suddenly crashed in from outside the door, ignoring the etiquette between superiors and subordinates, and reported to Jobs with an anxious expression: "Chief, we have tens of thousands of troops buried in that meat grinder, but the Taiping army is still shortening the distance between us and Vyborg every day, how long will we stay in this city?" ”

"How many reserves do we have?" Jobs did not respond directly to Sabonis's question, but asked back in a cold tone, without even taking his eyes off the sand table map.

"In addition to the leader's personal guard regiment, there are also three infantry regiments in reserve, which is the last capital of our Christian Brotherhood, and it can't be filled in anymore!

Just let those Swedes fight hard with the Taiping Army, if they continue to fight like this, the Brotherhood will really be destroyed! ”

Sabonis persuaded with a sad and indignant expression, he really couldn't understand why the leader, who had originally encountered the main force of the Taiping army, turned around and advanced, stood on the side of the Kingdom of Sweden this time with an extremely resolute position, and even did not hesitate to smash the old capital into this attack to resist the Taiping army.

"Swedes?" Jobs finally raised his gaze from the sand table map: "The three so-called elite legions of the Swedes are gone, what do they rely on to stop the Taiping army?" Slogans and unyielding cries? ”

Sabonis said with a puzzled expression: "But...... Then there is no need for our brotherhood to pay for the defeat of the Swedish kingdom, no matter how bad it is, the Swedes can still fight guerrilla warfare and use law and order warfare to consume the power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”

"Hmph, this may have worked in the past, but if you look at the fate of the Kingdom of Estonia and the Kingdom of Latvia, the guerrilla warfare was quite active after the fall of these two countries, but it was against the Russian army!

The Taiping army withdrew after the fall of the capitals of Estonia and Latvia, and they did not die a single person in the guerrilla war! ”

"They have at least dragged down tens of thousands of new troops ......in the Russian Empire," Sabonis muttered quietly.

"Tens of thousands of new troops?" Jobs shook his head: "Tens of thousands of militia are about the same, those new troops are just a combination of broken soldiers, farmers, and third-rate mercenaries, and they are not worth mentioning on the frontal battlefield, and the security war is a waste for them, and Estonia and Latvia are the sovereignty declared by the Russian Empire, and the enthusiasm of those Russian new army soldiers to fight is not low."

Hong Tiancheng's 'outsourcing policy' is really poisonous enough, the examples of Estonia and Latvia are in front of you, if the Kingdom of Sweden falls again, do you think Hong Tiancheng will still be like when the People's Republic of China was founded, with the main force of the Taiping Army on the front line to fight a long-term security war?

Once the Kingdom of Sweden is destroyed on the frontal battlefield, the servant army serving the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be flooded like mushrooms after a rain, and the patriotic guerrillas in Sweden will just be consuming each other with Hong Tiancheng's lackeys, and they will not hurt the foundation of the Taiping Army at all.

Now we are trying our best to make the war situation anxious, and the Kingdom of Sweden can still send a steady stream of new soldiers from the rear into the battlefield, at least, we are consuming the main force of the Han Chinese of the Taiping Army, not a group of white dogs who have forgotten their skin color! ”

Although Jobs's words were reasonable, Sabonis, who knew Jobs' nature, still couldn't believe that the selfish leader who only cared about the capital of the brotherhood had suddenly become so righteous and awe-inspiring......

"Chief, are you serious?" Sabonis tentatively said that if his boss really has brain cramps and wants to be a martyr for the white man, then he is embarrassed, no matter how deep his affection is, he will not be accompanied in the face of his life......

Just when Sabonis thought that Jobs's brain was kicked by a donkey, and suddenly became a good gentleman who worried about the country and the people, Jobs glanced at Sabonis meaningfully and said:

"Sabonis, look at the map, where do you think our Christian Brotherhood can flee now except for the Kingdom of Sweden?

Denmark, the United Kingdom of Norway, which is weaker than the Kingdom of Sweden?

Oh yes, you may not know that while we were fighting bloodily, the parliament of the Kingdom of Sweden had already persuaded Denmark and the United Kingdom of Norway to reach an agreement on a military alliance, and the first troops of the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway were estimated to disembark in the harbor in two or three days to support us.

Sabonis, you are also a veteran of the Brotherhood, this time it's not that I don't want to take everyone out of this place of right and wrong, it's really that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is expanding too fast, and the entire south has become the sphere of influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is it difficult for our Christian Brotherhood to keep running north? ”

Sabonis looked at the sand table map in a daze, he had been busy fighting before, and he really didn't notice that the retreat of the Christian Brotherhood had become precarious.

"Chief, we can still go to the Holy Roman Empire by sea, but it's a big deal to join the Prussians, who have given us a lot of weapons before."

"Hehe, Sabonis, which country do you think will send a fleet to help our Christian Brotherhood transport tens of thousands of people?

You and I may be able to leave by boat, but the foundation of the Christian Brotherhood will remain in this land, and the greedy nobles of Central Europe wish that our Christian Brotherhood would be nailed here and become cannon fodder for the consumption of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Since there is no way out, why don't we raise the name of righteousness and make a name for ourselves here?

Sabonis, this is the best battlefield for us, the Kingdom of Sweden has smashed all the old bottom on the defense line with Vyborg as the main body, and the previous Swedish elite troops are also on the front line, the Kingdom of Sweden needs the Christian Brotherhood, so it will not and dare not use us as cannon fodder.

Not only that, after the Kingdom of Sweden saw the combat effectiveness of our Brotherhood, in order to resist the aggressive offensive of the Taiping Army, it would continue to send recruits to supplement the strength of the Brotherhood, after all, the way our Brotherhood trains recruits is based on the Taiping Army, and the Swedes need us! ”

Sabonis suddenly realized: "So, Chief, you simply make the Brotherhood a model of a brave and fearless army, and gain great fame, so that those low-level civilians will take the initiative to defect, and you can also get more foreign weapons to support."

Because the aristocratic group that fears the expansion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom needs the Brotherhood, they will spare no effort to give us any support! ”

"Yes, that's the biggest reason I'm nailed here!"
