Chapter 429 European Allied Forces

"Your Majesty, Sweden is so arrogant. They have officially rejected our ultimatum this morning, and announced to the world that they will damage our country's international image. They also declared that if we choose war, they will fight us In the end. In addition, the Swedish ambassador to my country returned home early this morning, and our ambassador to Sweden was also expelled by the Swedish government." French Foreign Minister Gregor said angrily. Since France unified Europe, no one has dared to be so arrogant to France.

"Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to destroy Sweden immediately, and let them know how powerful our country is." Dougal also said angrily.

Xiao Jie waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy! You don't think Sweden will be our country's opponent, do you?"

"Of course." Dougal said first.

"But this is weird. Could it be that the Swedes are all fools? They must be impatient if they know they are not our opponents and dare to provoke us?" Xiao Jie said.

"Your Majesty, King Gustav IV of Sweden is a man of great ambition and talent, and Prime Minister Guthrie of Sweden is a very cautious man. They are definitely not fools. Then, they dare to take such actions, there must be some obstacles Yes. I think our country should be more cautious." First of all, Forbeck suggested.

Xiao Jie nodded, he is not a person who likes to take risks. Especially when it comes to national affairs, it would be great to be cautious.

U.S. The United States must be standing behind the Swedes, Xiao Jie is almost certain. But now that the French navy has just regained the eastern Atlantic region, it is basically impossible for American forces to re-enter Europe. And Sweden doesn't know about it? Does the Swedish government really think that they can compete with France with their little power?

"Eck, let me introduce the situation in Sweden." Xiao Jie said. Perhaps figuring out Sweden's true strength will help them find countermeasures.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Eck respectfully replied. Then he opened the materials he had prepared and began to introduce: "Sweden is located in the eastern part of the Scandina Peninsula. It is a traditional European power. Especially in the last world, its strength was so strong that it entered the European continent. But After the rise of France, its strength was squeezed out of the European continent. Sweden currently has an army of 300,000 people, of which 200,000 are equipped with American standard weapons, and 100,000 are equipped with old-fashioned weapons. The existing navy is more than 40,000 People, there are hundreds of old sail warships, and the number of new steam engine warships is less than 10. It is worth mentioning that Sweden is a member of the Kalmar Union. The Kalmar Union also has two other countries, namely Denmark and Norway .If our country goes to war with Sweden, I believe that the two countries will definitely be our enemies. Among them, Norway has an army of 150,000 people and a navy of 10,000 people; Denmark has an army of 200,000 people and a navy of 20,000 people. I think this should be It is one of the reasons why Sweden dared to reject our ultimatum." Eck closed the file and said.

"That is to say, if we go to war with Sweden, it means that we have to face Norway and Denmark at the same time. That is to say, we have to face a Kalmar Alliance with a total army and navy of nearly 700,000?" Xiao Jie asked.

Eck nodded.

"But this is still wrong? Sweden should be very aware of our combat effectiveness. Don't they know that our country has a million-strong army? Don't they think they can resist our attack without the help of the United States? No! They must have What other basis." Xiao Jie said with certainty.

"Your Majesty, I thought of something. Although our country has an army of one million, there are now hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in various European countries. There are not many troops that can be assembled. I think they must think that we cannot gather all of them. That's why I dare to be so arrogant." Gregor said.

"However, this is too risky. If we gather all the troops to attack them, wouldn't they be dead?" Dougal said suddenly.

Eck's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "What if our troops stationed in other European countries are restrained?"

"You mean that Sweden is secretly connected with the three Eastern European countries and even several European countries. If war breaks out, they will unite to deal with us?" Xiao Jie said seriously. Now, although all European countries are under the control of France, they must be very unwilling to be subject to France. Once they have the opportunity, they will definitely bite France back. If that is the case, then France is in a dangerous situation.

"Sweden must have secret ties with European countries, otherwise they would never dare to be our enemy. The intelligence agency has also obtained information that Swedish intelligence personnel have appeared in Eastern European countries, but because they cannot grasp the collusion between the three Eastern European countries and Sweden The evidence has not been reported, so it has not been reported, but has been secretly monitored." Eck said suddenly.

"Your Majesty, there is one thing we have to guard against, that is, if war really breaks out, our sea transportation lines in the Baltic Sea will definitely be attacked by the Swedish Navy. And our navy is currently all concentrated in the Atlantic Ocean, and the Baltic Sea The sea transportation line is likely to be cut off by Sweden. At that time, the supply lines of our two legions stationed in St. Petersburg and Poland will cause a great crisis. If the logistics is lost, the blow to those two legions will be very big Yes. If the three countries in Eastern Europe take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack, the situation of our two legions will be even more dangerous," said Logistics Minister Luo Di.

They are all difficult problems. Xiao Jie did not expect that such a big problem would be exposed because of the plan to attack Sweden. Fortunately, the war has not yet started, and France still has time to make adjustments. Otherwise, if these problems are exposed after the war starts, France will suffer catastrophe.

"Let's talk about how we should solve these problems?" Xiao Jie said.

"Since we have issued an ultimatum to Sweden, the war must continue, otherwise our prestige in Europe will be greatly reduced." Dugel said.

"War is necessary, but we must solve these problems before the war begins, otherwise it will affect the development of the war and even threaten the security of France." Xiao Jie said.

"As for the safety of the sea transportation line, we can deploy the navy to protect it. Or the navy can completely eliminate the Kalmar Alliance navy to eliminate their threat to our country's sea transportation line." Naval Commander Burt said.

"Navy? Isn't the navy trying to deal with the navy of the United States and Canada?" Xiao Jie asked.

"According to the information we have received, the United States and Canada are doing their best to expand the size of the navy and replace warships. They will not be able to attack us in a short period of time. And the patrol at sea can be completed by the Mediterranean Fleet. Now, although the Atlantic Fleet The army has not yet been fully formed, but some fleets have been equipped one after another. We can definitely put them into the war against Sweden." Bult explained.

"Okay, I believe that the Swedish sailing warships will only be beaten to pieces when they meet our steel warships. The control of the Baltic Sea and the safety of sea transportation lines will be entrusted to the navy." Xiao Jie said with a big smile.

"Navy Newspaper completed the task." Boult said firmly. Against Sweden's old-fashioned navy, if he still can't win, then there is no need for him to be the commander of the navy.

"Your Majesty, I have also thought of a way to deal with those Eastern European countries that have different ideas." Dougal said with a smile.

"Oh? What can I do? Tell me and listen." Xiao Jie said.

"We can force European countries to send troops to form a coalition to deal with Sweden. If any country disagrees, we will destroy it with thunder." Dougal's eyes showed a fierce look.

Xiao Jie nodded: "Although it's a bit extreme, it's still a good way."

"What if they obey our orders? Even if they send troops, they don't contribute anything on the battlefield~lightnovelpub.net~ Then what should we do?" Eck asked.

"We can send an officer corps to follow them and set specific combat goals for them. If they don't work hard, then we have to take extreme measures." Dougal said with some viciousness.

"Okay, this method is fine." Xiao Jie finally said.

Subsequently, the French General Staff issued an order to European countries, asking them to send troops to form a coalition with France to jointly attack Sweden and the Kalmar Alliance, which are in collusion with the United States. If any country refuses to participate in this operation, it will be regarded as Sweden. allies. France approached to destroy it with a thunderbolt. The number of troops sent by each country will be determined by the French General Staff.

As soon as this French order was issued, there was an uproar in the whole of Europe. Of course, Central and Eastern Europe reacted differently to this order. Central European countries are under the deep control of France. Even if they are unwilling, they still cannot express any dissatisfaction and can only obey the orders of France. The three Eastern European countries are different. Their strength is stronger than those small countries in Central Europe, and their determination to get rid of French rule is also very firm. But at this moment, France has deployed four legions in Eastern Europe. Once they object, one can imagine what awaits them. As a last resort, they had to obey the orders of France.
