The fall of Northern Europe did not surprise the anti-Han alliance, the Russian-Swedish war has been fought for so long, and the rulers of the European continent are very clear that the national strength of the Kingdom of Sweden has long been exhausted, and even the ordinary people have a strong war-weariness, Denmark and the United Kingdom of Norway are already second- and third-rate countries in the European continent, and naturally they cannot afford to confront the Russian Empire alone, not to mention, the Russian Empire will also receive strong support from the Axis bloc.

What shocked the Anti-Han League was that the large number of naval fleets sent by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom not only had an advantage in the number of large ships, but also in terms of quality, which was unheard of by the Anti-Han League!

The first-class sail battleship that is like a mobile fortress on the sea was not developed at all in Europe in the 17th century, and in the eyes of the heads of state of the European continent, it is simply a monster-level sea warship!

In particular, when the Danish and Swedish navies fired at Nelson's flagship, the intelligence that never caused much damage to him flowed into the hands of the countries of the anti-Han alliance, and the anti-Han alliance directly canceled the plan to send a naval fleet into the Baltic Sea.

The collective silence of the anti-Han alliance was tantamount to a disguised betrayal of Denmark and the United Kingdom of Norway, and the surrender of control of the Baltic Sea to the Axis group headed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The fall of the Nordic Peninsula turned the United Kingdom of Denmark and Norway into a de facto 'Kingdom of Denmark', and all Norwegian territory was occupied by the Russians.

Although there were still a large number of partisan detachments in Norway consisting mainly of scattered regular armies, the new Russian army had established real dominance there.

The Nelson fleet under Hong Tiancheng can also lay down the burden of supporting the Russian army and rely on the Norwegian port of Bergen to extend its sphere of influence to the North Sea.

What Hong Tiancheng did not expect was that the great victory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Navy indirectly contributed to the unification of the British Isles.

In order to resist the maritime threat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Scotland, and the Kingdom of Ireland compromised with each other to form the Kingdom of Great Britain, which was mainly controlled by the House of Commons and a constitutional monarchy, which was also the result of a compromise between the bourgeoisie and the aristocratic class in the Kingdom of Great Britain.

The bourgeoisie holds the House of Representatives, which is derived from the people, and the aristocracy holds the House of Lords for life.

After the union of the Kingdom of Great Britain, it immediately joined the Anti-Han League, and since then, the entire European continent has joined the Anti-Han League, forming two major military rival forces with the Axis group led by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After Northern Europe was occupied by the Russian Empire, the main focus of the Thousand Faces False Tsar was on the annexation of Northern Europe, and the main new forces of the Russian Empire were all stationed in Sweden and Norway, unable to support Hong Tiancheng's next major war.

Hong Tiancheng transferred the 10,000 Swedish veteran smoothbore gun regiments, which were originally used to support Swedish war prevention, to the German region to manage the Han Allied Army to suppress the German Confederation and maintain the security of the Taiping Army's logistics line.

At the same time, all the naval powers of the anti-Han alliance formed a combined fleet, gathering hundreds of large sail warships of the 17th century and more than 200 warships of other types, in an attempt to intercept the infiltration of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom navy into the North Sea.

A major war did not break out on land, but a fierce naval battle broke out.

The combined fleet of the Anti-Han Alliance absorbed the experience of the disastrous defeat of the navies of Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom and Sweden, and no longer bombarded the three first-class sail battleships of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but adopted the strategy of multi-ship wandering and besieging, taking advantage of the speed advantage of the 'small boats' to specifically select the main frigates of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Navy.

Even if it is the main frigate of the Taiping Army, if placed in the combined fleet of the Anti-Han Alliance, it is enough to serve as a large sail warship......

The combined fleet of the anti-Han alliance had an absolute advantage in the number of ships, and they wanted to rely on their own experienced sailors and gunners to take advantage of the new construction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's navy to drive the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's navy back.

Unexpectedly, the naval crew of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also an experienced veteran, under the command of Nelson, even if they were absolutely weak in numbers, they still fought back and forth with the combined fleet of the anti-Han alliance, and the battle between the main naval ships of the two sides lasted for more than a week, and finally ended in defeat!

More than 80 percent of the more than 100 large sail warships of the combined fleet of the Anti-Han League were lost, and more than half of the other types of ships were also lost, and all 30 main frigates of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Navy and other small auxiliary ships were sunk, and only three first-class sail battleships were still standing.

In fact, this naval battle was supposed to be won by the combined fleet of the anti-Han alliance, but in the final encirclement and suppression battle, no matter how much it bombarded the first-class sail battleship, it would not sink, but a salvo of the first-class sail battleship would reimburse a large sail battleship of the combined fleet of the anti-Han alliance!

Under Nelson's command, the three first-class sail battleships were finished in the shape of a zigzag, alternately covering and firing, killing the combined fleet of the anti-Han alliance with extremely heavy losses, and finally had to flee the naval battlefield with the advantage of speed.

The outcome of this naval battle made the top brass of the Anti-Han League deeply realize that relying on ordinary warships was not at all an opponent of a first-class sail battleship, and they could not even connect to the side of the battle, because they could not reach the overly high side of the first-class sail battleship......

Moreover, the size of the first-class sail battleships was too huge, and once they got closer, all the existing sail battleships of the anti-Han alliance combined fleet would be shattered as soon as they collided......

When the three first-class sail battleships returned to the port of Bergen for repairs, the thousand-faced fake tsar of the Russian Empire directly transferred the 'small' fleet of the Russian Empire to become the new auxiliary ships of the three first-class sail battleships.

After the naval battle, the combined fleet of the anti-Han alliance had been disbanded on the spot, and more than eighty percent of the large warships were damaged in the battle, so that the maritime power of the naval power of the anti-Han alliance was almost exhausted, and the remaining warships could only barely maintain the sea trade routes of the colony.

Ships are not built overnight, even if the anti-Han alliance has excellent sailors, but it takes a long time for ships to be replenished, not to mention, the facts have proven that ordinary warships are useless against the three mobile fortresses on the sea of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and ships with larger ships and more powerful guns must be built in order to continue the confrontation!

Therefore, even though the anti-Han alliance still had many ships, it no longer dared to engage in a large-scale naval battle with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had three large ships with the hard power of naval warfare, but its offensive ability was insufficient.

Of course, the current situation is already a big profit for Hong Tiancheng, he doesn't need to control the sea, as long as the opponent does not have the right to control the sea!
