Five years of war, five years of attrition.

The price paid by the French was that in addition to the Duchy of Württemberg, Hesse, and Saxony being blown up, Italy that followed the French lost 30,000 or 40,000 people, the Spaniards 10,000 or 20,000, the French killed and wounded more than 200,000 people, and the fleet in the English Channel was completely wiped out. The Duchy of Württemberg was half occupied, the Duchy of Hesse was occupied, and the Duchy of Saxony ceded more than half of its territory and withdrew from the Union.

Our side is no better, with more than 50,000 people hanging in front of and behind in the Netherlands, and 15% of the country is flooded. The main force that the Duchy of Bavaria had raised for more than ten years in the past was completely wiped out, and even the capital was blown up, and the nuns of several monasteries secretly raised by the former Duke of Bavaria were all ruined by the French. The Austrians were even more miserable, with 150,000 dead and wounded and captured, and the capital was similarly destroyed by the French, with the Kingdom of Aragon, one of the vassal states, occupying more than seventy percent of the French.

Our casualties were no better than those of the two major belligerents, and we lost nearly 100,000 casualties.

After the armistice was signed, the French gained the independence of the Austrians from the Barcelona region in the northern part of the Kingdom of Aragon, and the French also received the Zaragoza region in the middle of the Spanish peninsula. It then annexed a number of scattered German territories in the name of having no heirs to some small German states. However, their more than 300,000 elites were played until there were no more than 100,000 left.

The Netherlands received 35 kilometers of territory to be ceded by the French, three territories in the New World that the French had created, and a five-year armistice was signed with the French. The Dutch were granted trade privileges in the former French influence in Africa and special trade tariffs on French grain. Well, it's no wonder that the French are still able to maintain their trade overseas without even a fleet. The Netherlands' demand for trade privileges, not trading posts, was in some sense a compromise to the five-year armistice.

The Duchy of Bavaria received the return of the territory from the French, but some of the monetary compensation that had been negotiated was gone.

The Austrians, they had acquired a vast and desolate territory of the New World, but the Austrians, who had little knowledge of geography, probably did not even know where that place was, and probably seemed to them that the so-called territory was just a joke. However, this war can be regarded as the recognition of the succession to the throne by the eldest daughter of the Austrians. In a sense. This is a consolation prize, and it was won by us in Rome for the Austrians.

We, the Romans, were given trade privileges and garrisons at the entrance and exit of the Mediterranean.

The Prussians, they got the territories of Saxony, Mecklenburg.

Duchy of Hesse. It was divided into four, and at once, several branches came out.

The Duchy of Württemberg, they apologized to the Bavarians and Austrians.

Thereupon. That's it. In the apology statement of the Duchy of Württemberg, a five-year war was fought for the peasants of the two countries to harvest their crops. I think that if the peasants who were in charge five years ago still had zài, they would probably have regretted it to the point that their bowels were blue. After all, they will be very happy when they fight in a group, but once they fight, they will continue for five years, and they will be 100,000 when they get it later. The battle of more than 200,000 troops is definitely something they don't want to see.

In this war, it was definitely not the French who benefited the most. Because their elite has been wiped out.

The Austrians are naturally also losers.

The Dutch had secured a five-year armistice, a 35-kilometre strategic buffer, three huge overseas territories, and a host of trade privileges, but they were wounded only more than the Austrians.

In addition to these treaties, which seemed to have the greatest benefit to the Netherlands, the Netherlands also signed a treaty of alliance with Austria, in which the Dutch bought iron ore, horses, and an offensive and defensive alliance from Austria for a 15-year interest-free loan of 1,000,000 Dutch guilders per year and an increase of 300,000 Dutch guilders.

In addition to this, the Dutch divided their forces into trade treaties and offensive and defensive alliances with Sweden, Prussia, and Bavaria. The three parties will take advantage of the Baltic Sea for trade in grain, iron ore, wool, gunpowder, and timber.

The conclusion of the trade treaties of Austria, Sweden, Prussia, the Netherlands, and Bavaria was naturally coordinated by us, and the intention was naturally to delay or even hinder the economic recovery of the French. Who made the French sign such a treaty of reciprocity with the Dutch people?

On the surface, the French are giving enough of the Netherlands cheap and opening the door widely. But think about it, the French things are so cheap, and the Netherlands have gone to the French to buy things, so didn't the Dutch money flow into France and increase the financial resources of the French?

The Dutch want to buy grain from the French?

Prussia has it too!

Where do the French sell cheap wood?

Sweden has it there!

The victory of the Dutch was a victory bought at great expense, and our victory can only be said to have spent tens of millions of manpower and material resources to obtain the strategic point of the Mediterranean Sea and break the French trade blockade against us. In this way, we will be able to export our products to those countries outside the sea, and we will be able to challenge the French more forcefully in the perfumery, tobacco and wine markets of the western part of the continent, and reach the leather and spice markets. It is worth mentioning that after this battle, the title of Roman Emperor and King of the Russians on the top of Alexander's head was recognized.

Well, to achieve such results, we are also a big blood, so who is the biggest winner?

Prussia?

Although Prussia achieved several wealthy regions in northern Saxony and the whole of Mecklenburg, they also made the domestic rebellion and the attrition of several conquests a little overwhelmed, so the income and the price paid were basically equal, and it could not be regarded as a victory.

So Sweden?

Sweden's Karl Zhonger took tens of thousands of Swedes to the French to travel, although he was disgraced, and he did not have the demeanor of the Nordic god of war at all, but he earned Sweden a lot of fast remittance and a lot of benefits, in a sense, the Swedes got a lot of benefits in vain. Recently, after hearing that he had a lot of money in his pocket, Karl Chungji, who had become wealthy, had recruited more than 10,000 outlaws in Germany to prepare to respond to our call to go to the border between Russia and Sweden and Finland to seize the territory of the Russian anti-royal party.

In every sense, the Swedes, who have found a big financier for themselves and stabilized the rear, can enter a high-speed development stage in the next ten years, but in terms of picking up cheap, the Swedes are still not comparable to the British, who have the advantage of being an island country.

Why?

The Dutch power at sea is destined to enter a period of decline, because in order to resist the French will have to devote limited manpower and material resources to the defense of the country, since the country is destined to shift the focus to the ground, how many ships can the Dutch sail to sea? It is basically impossible for the French to replace the gap left by the decline of the Netherlands' maritime power, and neither can the Portuguese, because the French have obtained the Zaragoza region at once, and the two countries have a border, and in the alliance, it is difficult for Portugal to play with us because they stood with the French earlier, and Portugal is in the middle of nowhere, and it is difficult for our reinforcements to get over. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine who France will take in the future. Then as a country with a bit of maritime competitiveness, the British in a corner of the country have become very ideal heirs. The premise is that they first solve the religious chaos in their country.

In short, it is very likely that the future pattern will be that France and Austria, Bavaria, Prussia, Sweden, and the Netherlands will fight on land on the European continent until both sides are exhausted, and the British will reap the benefits of the fisherman and become the empire on which the sun never sets... Although we are very unwilling, we in Rome are really beyond the whip, unless, we dig a canal connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and then fight the "sun never sets" empire in India for 300 rounds!

It's very touching to think of the scene where the Indian monks raised their hands in Greek. (To be continued......)
