Chapter 467: The Last Madness

When the French army blasted the walls of Stockholm, King Gustav IV of Sweden was lying on the large and soft bed in the palace bedroom, with a beautiful female officer under him, shaking non-stop. Waves of obscene groans came from the room, making the guards outside feel as if thousands of ants were crawling in their hearts.

Gustav IV was not a lecherous person, he loved his wife very much. However, in order to protect his wife and children, he had to order his guards to secretly send them to northern Sweden. After his wife and children left, Gustav IV felt very lonely and empty. In addition, the recent war situation is very unfavorable to Sweden, which makes him very angry. Women, at this time, became his best venting tool. And those beautiful female officials in the palace became the targets of his desire to vent.

Just when Gustav IV was having a good time, a loud noise came, which startled him immediately. The following couldn't help shivering, and then slowly died.

"Damn it, what happened?" Gustav cursed as he left the female officer's body.

At this time, the door was opened. A guard ran in with his head down and reported to Gustav IV: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The French blasted the city wall."

"What?" Gustav IV was so shocked that he almost lost his footing. He murmured, "How could this be?" Although he already knew that the day when the French army would break through the city would come sooner or later, he never expected it to come so soon. He was so fast that he wasn't even prepared.

While Gustav IV was in a daze, the guard raised his head quietly, with eyes full of desire, he kept looking at the beautiful body of the beautiful female officer who was still lying naked on the bed. You must know that it is impossible for them to see the bodies of these noble female officials at ordinary times.

Gustav IV didn't notice the guard's eyes, or he didn't want to say anything more if he noticed. The country is about to perish, and his life is about to come to an end. What's the big deal if a woman who has played with is looked at by others? Gustav IV waved his hand and let the guards go out.

The guard had no choice but to close his eyes unwillingly and backed out.

What more did Gustav IV attempt to do to the ladies of the court? But to his dismay, he couldn't get an erection. I don't know if it's because I was scared just now or there are other reasons. However, that doesn't seem to matter anymore. His life is about to end, and he will no longer be able to enjoy the beautiful body of a woman.

Putting on his clothes, Gustav IV left the bedroom depressedly. At this time, the palace was also in chaos. A large number of guards, servants and female officials fled in all directions in a hurry. Many people even secretly took away the property of the Wang family. These, Gustav IV saw in the eyes. But he didn't stop it, as if he was a bystander.

At this time, the French army had already begun to invade the city from the north of Stockholm. A large number of French troops poured into the city, which quickly collapsed the Swedish army's defense line. Although Stockholm still has hundreds of thousands of troops, it is simply impossible to resist the attack of the French army.

"General, the French army's offensive is too fierce, and we can't hold it anymore." A young general covered in blood rushed into the Swedish War Ministry and reported to the Swedish Minister of War Alfred.

"Damn it. What are you eating? There are 50,000 people over there. You can't even resist for an hour. I don't care what method you use, you must persist for two hours. Reinforcements will come after two hours. I'll be there." Alfred said angrily.

"Alas!" The young general could only sigh heavily, and then rushed back. He must quickly return to the front line, his comrades are still fighting **** battles with the French army. Although their army has 50,000 people. But more than 30,000 of them have no military training. As soon as the battle started, people were too scared to look up, and some even peed their pants in fright. How can we fight this battle? In addition, they don't have heavy firepower at all now, and all they have are rifles. Using these crude rifles to fight against the French army whose supplies have reached their teeth, isn't that courting death?

In fact, it wasn't that Alfred didn't want to send reinforcements to rescue the front line, but that he had no soldiers to send at all. As soon as the French army blasted the northern city wall of Stockholm, many Swedish soldiers dropped their guns in fright, then took off their uniforms and ran home. The other troops were also very chaotic, so that Alfred had to send personnel to rectify those troops before they could be sent to the front line.

The development of the war was very smooth for the French army, and they were advancing steadily in Stockholm. The scope of control is also increasing. Although the Swedish army still had a strong will to fight, they were still unable to stop the advance of the French army. Their patriotic enthusiasm seemed so weak in the face of the French army's attack. They launched a counter-charge to the French army one after another, but what they got in exchange was piles of cold corpses and retreating steadily.

After a day of fighting, the French army has controlled forty percent of Stockholm. Its vanguard troops have arrived at a place less than 4 kilometers away from the center of Stockholm, the Swedish Royal Palace.

This victory made Lanz very satisfied, and he repeatedly said that he would ask Paris for credit for the soldiers of the French 3rd Army. In order not to be attacked by the Swedes at night, Lance personally went to the frontline troops to inspect, and told the frontline commanders at all levels to pay close attention to the possible night attacks of the Swedes.

Lanz also asked the troops to continue their onslaught starting tomorrow, and the entire Stockholm will be captured within tomorrow. Draw a perfect end to this war. He is convinced that if all these can be accomplished, then he will leave a strong mark in the history of French warfare. What an honor that is! Lan Shi decided to be excited after thinking about it.

After dark, all French offensives ceased. The Swedish army was able to take a breath and use this short time to make some arrangements, hoping to last longer. At this time, in the hearts of the vast majority of Swedish soldiers, they no longer think that they can still win the war. Now, the only thing they can do is to slow down this day.

Not long after dark, the Swedish Minister of War Alfred left the work in hand to his deputy, while he rushed to the palace. He wanted Gustav IV to evacuate to a safer place, even out of Stockholm if he could. After all, the palace is already very dangerous now, and it is less than 5 kilometers away from the front line. The heavy artillery of the French can easily attack there.

After arriving at the palace, Alfred saw Gustav IV sitting on the throne with blank eyes, and a lot of exquisite food was placed in front of him. But it doesn't seem to be moving.

"Your Excellency Alfredo, you are here." Seeing Alfredo come in, Gustav IV's eyes lit up a little.

"Your Majesty." Alfred stood in front of Gustav IV very ashamedly. At the beginning, the declaration of war against France was entirely at his instigation, and Gustav IV made his final decision. However, what he never expected was that the battle situation would develop into what it is now. Not only will Sweden lose the war, but the country will also be wiped out by France.

"Alfred, you don't have to blame yourself too much. The war situation has developed to the point where we can't simply put the blame on anyone. Maybe we were really wrong at the beginning, and we shouldn't provoke France, a powerful enemy. "Gustav IV said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, I came here to ask you to leave the palace. The palace is too dangerous now, and it is already within the range of the French cannons. What should I do if you get lost?" Yah Alfred persuaded.

"No, I'm not going anywhere. This is my palace, even if I die, I will die here." Gustav IV said firmly. At this moment, the originally dull eyes burst out with a compelling light.

"Your Majesty~lightnovelpub.net~ just listen to my advice." Alfred begged bitterly.

But Gustav IV remained unmoved. In the end, Alfred had to abandon his plan to make Gustav IV.

Back at the War Department, Alfredo had a new plan. In his opinion, tonight is Sweden's last hope. If this evening can be used to launch a desperate attack on the French army and defeat the French army, then the Swedish army will be able to hold Stockholm.

He told his deputy about the plan. But his deputy outright rejected the plan. His deputy's reason was very simple. First, it is impossible for the French army not to think of this, so the opponent must have strengthened its defense. It is very difficult for the Swedish army to succeed. If they attack rashly, they may not only fail to complete the plan, but also pay huge casualties. Second, it is the fault of the Swedish army itself. Most of the Swedish army is now very tired and morale is low. It is basically impossible for such troops to launch a night attack.

However, Alfred did not listen to the advice of his deputy. He is now like a gambler who is jealous of losing, desperately hoping to win back all the lost things with interest in the last hand. To this end, he even did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of a large number of Swedish soldiers.
