Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme
Chapter 62: At least 1 year ahead of mold
In the end, the best way August came up with was to split Denmark apart. Now Denmark is no longer what it used to be. As the former overlord of Northern Europe, it almost conquered all of Northern Europe. Everyone is familiar with the history of the Vikings. The great pirates on the sea , at his peak, he even knocked England and France to the ground and beat them.
The Kalmar Union was established by Queen Margrethe I of Denmark, which almost included Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and other Nordic countries. Later, after the Stockholm Massacre, Sweden resisted Danish rule and became independent. Kalmar The alliance also disbanded, and then Denmark established the United Kingdom of Denmark-Norway in Northern Europe to confront the independent Sweden. The two fought several times during the process, but Denmark was never able to incorporate Sweden into its territory.
Later, in the [-]-year European chicken competition, Denmark originally thought it had a chance to win, and happily participated in this war that may not have much to do with itself. However, it returned with a huge defeat and was defeated by Warren, the general of the Holy Roman Empire. Stan beat him up.
Not only that, but the most embarrassing thing is that Sweden actually won consecutive battles during the Thirty Years War and became a new military power in Northern Europe. Then it turned its guns and attacked Denmark, the former Nordic hegemon. Sweden not only captured many territories, but even Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, was captured. From then on, Denmark was no longer able to maintain its position as the hegemon of Northern Europe.
The last person who played the eulogy for Denmark was the British Empire. During the Napoleonic Wars, the Danish navy was quite strong and ranked among the top three in the world. In order to prevent Napoleon from using the Danish navy to attack Britain, the British directly launched a sneak attack. Copenhagen, completely destroying the Danish Navy.
Everyone said that it was shameless for Britain to bomb the French fleet in World War II. Who knew that this was not the first time. The British had done this thing more than a hundred years ago.
Denmark is now an ordinary regional country at best, not a powerful country. If Prussia stud is defeated, of course it can be defeated, but this will be a loss, and what is the use of conquering Denmark? It is not cost-effective to flush one's international reputation down the drain for the sake of these few not-so-rich territories.
The latest financial crisis has also caused serious problems in Denmark and the rise of domestic liberals.
Due to changes in the timeline, Denmark is still an autocratic monarchy, which also gave Prussia a slogan to incite liberal sentiment in Denmark. "A system like Denmark is not democratic enough! An absolute monarchy is not democratic at all!"
August's idea was to first cause a liberal bourgeois revolution in Denmark, forcing the Danish aristocracy to prioritize domestic affairs, and then project his influence on Schleswig and Schleswig, making them pro-Prussian, and finally bring Horr with him. Stein was annexed to Prussia.
It's just that now is indeed not a good time. We have to wait and wait until Prussia's armaments are reorganized and have more advanced weapons.
Austria's attitude is that it cannot take advantage of Prussia under any circumstances. On the one hand, Austria supports Holstein's German nationalist movement, and on the other hand, it calls for non-intervention by those who oppose the German Confederation. Everyone knows that this is to target the German Confederation. Prussia.
But now it is true that Prussia cannot defeat Austria. As the leader of Germany, it has far more authority than itself. As far as the current situation is concerned, Prussia cannot defeat Austria. Even if it can defeat it, the price will be unimaginable. of.
.......
Although August's plan for Tina was a bit opportunistic, it was not ineffective. As a monarchy, it incited the bourgeois forces of other countries to overthrow the monarchy. Only August could do this. .
Tina still complied, but Tina made some changes. Tina didn't have a good impression of those messy liberals. Anyway, she just wanted to be a troublemaker, so it's better to be a complete set.
Tina first went to see Russell, the leader of the Liberal Party. As a member of the Liberal Party, he knew something about the democratic movements in surrounding countries.
His villa is luxurious and grand, and as the leader of the bourgeois Liberal Party, he cannot be a poor man, but he is indeed not an aristocrat, just a pure emerging capitalist.
Russell was a little surprised to see Tina, "Oh, Miss Tina, it's been a long time. When was the last time we met?"
"Didn't we meet during the congressional report last month? Well, I want to talk to you about Denmark."
"Okay, let me hear it. Who does His Highness the Regent want to persecute again?"
Russell drank a cup of black tea and said, and Tina's next words shocked him.
"You know the Danish gangsters, right? Can you give me a line?"
"Pfft, what?" Russell looked at Tina in disbelief? What does she want from the gang?
Tina: "Don't say you don't know. Denmark recently launched a massacre and purge of the Germans in Schleswig. Coupled with the financial crisis, Denmark's industrial development and per capita output have been seriously affected. This incident You must know this, right?"
Russell put down the tea cup and said seriously: "Of course, if we want to say the same thing, what are you doing with the gang?"
Tina said: "Of course I didn't expose the messy relationship between you and the gangs. I also want the Danish gangs to do us a favor. Anyway, they are causing trouble for the Danish government, so naturally we can use some less Glorious means."
Russell smiled and said, "Miss Tina, I think it would be much troublesome to discuss this issue. How did you know?"
Tina came up with a plan for the industrial construction of Königsberg, "Don't talk about the little tricks you are playing, buy some of the country's industrial equipment at a low price, and then smuggle it to the Nordic low-lying countries through gangs at a high price, and then pass through Switzerland. The money is laundered in the bank and finally returned to Prussia. The process is probably like this. But since I didn't bring the military police to trouble you, it means that I am not very interested in the little money you embezzled. August already knew it. From now on, please be careful and don't be too arrogant. I don't want to see you on the list of the big trial."
"I will follow my instructions." Russell bowed to Tina, "So what? Miss Tina is on the line with the gang. What do you think?"
"Give you a chance to make a lot of money. There's no point in always smuggling those messy machines. That kind of rubbish doesn't make money. Do you know what makes money? Selling arms, understand? Industrial machines are not consumables. It takes several years to replace it with a new one, so you think guns and bullets should explode after being used a few times? Aren’t the bullets gone after they are shot? Do you have to buy them again? Do you understand?" Ti Na rubbed her fingers on his face, Russell looked at her with a confused expression, and asked the Prussian Prime Minister to teach me corruption? right?
OK, OK!
"I think we can talk about it in detail!" Russell became interested.
