Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 2388 Statement and Interference

It is said that it has been 70 years since the founding of the East Coast, and the fate of many European countries has deviated from the historical track, and they have been deeply impressed by the East Coast imprint.

For example, the United Provinces, once the leader of European commerce, the attempt of the Orange family to concurrently serve as the governor of the United Provinces and the king of England was broken. William III could no longer transfuse England by harming the interests of the Netherlands. The republican government firmly Controlled the political power and competed fiercely with the English in the Mediterranean, Baltic and North Seas.

For example, the Italian states that were once scattered.After being blackmailed and squeezed for hundreds of years, they finally have a decent leader, and that is the Northern Italian Federation.This federation—or the confederation is more appropriate—currently has seven confedering countries, some with strong economic strength, some with strong military strength, and at the same time, they all have certain political appeal. , eventually forming a loose federation.At present, this federation is transitioning to a tighter direction. The first step to form a coalition has been completed. The second step has established a standing deliberative body, headquartered in Milan, led by Genoa*, Venice and Tuscany. In the future, The possibility of turning into a parliament is not ruled out. The third step is to negotiate a unified commercial market. At present, we have encountered many difficulties, but in time, people from the east coast are pushing hard. These countries are also inextricably linked to the economy of the east coast. The grand work of mutual abolition of tariffs and unification of other tax rates and types of taxes may not necessarily be impossible.

Another example is the Tatars in Crimea, who received help from the people on the east coast earlier.At present, the whole country already has some primary industries, such as factories for processing grain, salt and leather.In addition, the grain plantations on the northern shore of the Black Sea are very popular, exporting a large amount of agricultural products to Italy, Spain and other places every year, bringing huge profits to the country and helping them form a new army that is still capable.From the perspective of an East Coast consultant who has lived in Baekchisalay all year round, the whole country has transformed from a semi-nomadic and semi-feudal society into a feudal kingdom with a little industrial color. Knowing that the production of leather, bacon, wool and dairy products is profitable is very different from the previous state of ignorance.

Compared with the Tatars, the Oirat Mongols who came into contact with the people on the east coast later were worse.However, at present, the territory of this country has basically been fixed, and it is no longer in the backward state of living by water and grass.The commerce of the whole country is also more developed than that of the general nomadic regime. At present, several large cities with large populations have appeared, and there are many craftsmen, traders and other people who have separated from agricultural production. It can be seen that they Still something has changed.

There are many countries or nations whose destiny has been changed by people from the east coast, but to be honest, there are also some countries that have changed little, such as Poland, Russia, Sweden and other countries in the north.Sweden is because the Dutch hold it too tightly, and the people on the east coast are not easy to contact in depth "out of politeness". The same is true for Poland, and this country has historically had a bad relationship with the capital and cut off trade for a long time.Russia is even more complicated. It is difficult for this country to contact advanced civilization, and the relationship with the east coast is even more ups and downs. Even when the people on the east coast helped the Ottoman, Crimea, and Oirat Mongolian regimes in the Black Sea area, they almost fell into hostility. State - Fortunately, the Tsar at that time was sensible and did not start a war with the East Bank - it was difficult for the people of the East Bank to profoundly influence this country.

Therefore, these three countries basically continue to move forward according to their original trajectories, and this year they fought for the domination of the eastern part of the Baltic Sea. The people on the east coast basically did not help each other and watched from the sidelines.

The cause of the matter was still in the body of Russian Tsar Peter.This guy is very restless. Since a few years ago, he has traveled to Central and Western European countries in microservices, and went to Courland, Denmark, Poland, Germany (mainly Saxony and Brandenburg-Prussia), Denmark, the Netherlands, England and other countries. .On the way, I turned back because of an army rebellion in Moscow. After the peace, I traveled again. While observing the customs of various countries, I recruited technicians and purchased books, eagerly absorbing advanced knowledge and culture.

Of course, Peter didn't forget to make trouble.During his stay in Denmark, Germany and Poland, this fellow successfully persuaded many monarchs with his three-inch tongue and formed a huge encirclement circle against Sweden.The main countries in the circle are Poland (including Saxony), Denmark, Prussia, and Russia. Basically, they are all countries that have enemies with Sweden. Everyone agrees to attack Sweden. After success, Prussia can recover Pomerania, and Poland can gain the Baltic Sea coast , Denmark can regain the territory that was forced to cede to Sweden.As for Russia, it can naturally get the coveted Baltic sea port-too bad, the huge Russian Empire only has two ports in the remote North Sea, St. Nicholas and Arkhangelsk. This is really a sad thing .

It should be said that Peter's travel and series were very successful.Although some people accused him of being ambiguous with Sophia, the widow of the Elector of Hanover, living with an actress in England, living with rude shipbuilders in the Netherlands, and recruiting many Western European captains or captains with unclear backgrounds along the way. Mercenary generals were sent to serve in Russia, but Peter managed to overcome many objections and formed a strong anti-Sweden alliance with Denmark, Prussia, Saxony, and Poland.

Here we must not forget the little transparent Principality of Courland on the Baltic Sea.To be honest, the ruler of this country is really a little unclear.When the battle clouds in the Baltic Sea were clouded, they didn't think about how to stay safe and stay out of the matter, so they repeatedly committed suicide and wanted to join the Russian side and fight against Sweden.

They may have their reasons.For example, I have always wanted to take back Riga, the "Holy City" in the minds of the Livonians. For example, Sweden's repeated extortion has caused them to lose a lot of money. For example, the Swedish army often passes through Courland without notice. For example, Swedish officials are very ruthless to His Excellency. Li, etc., in short, full of resentment.However, no matter how resentful you are, the population of the country is only 30 after absorbing so many refugees, and the army is less than 3000. The strength lies in this. If you are dissatisfied, you can take care of yourself. Maybe you still want the Swedes to apologize to you? ?

It was the people on the east coast who really made the Grand Duke of Courland rein in his horse.The ambassador of the East Bank stationed in Riga went directly to Mitao and "persuaded" the Grand Duke with most of the country's military and political ministers to let him give up the dangerous idea of ​​forming an alliance with Russia.In the end, the Grand Duke of Courland could only give in, publicly declaring that Courland was "absolutely neutral", and opened the borders to officials, businessmen, and messengers from various countries, but did not allow unauthorized troops to enter the country.

Later, the people on the east coast also issued a statement, pointing out for the first time that the Principality of Courland is the "protectorate" of the east coast, and that all parties to the war must not harm the life and property of the people of Courland, and must not obstruct normal trade activities.If these words were placed last year, these bird countries in the north might not have paid much attention to them. If they are exhausted, the Prussians will just listen to them for the sake of economic cooperation. Other countries such as Sweden, Russia, Poland and other countries will regard them as The wind is not surprising.

But as news of the East Coast Army's victory in Morocco reached the Baltic, the Russians hesitated.They have fought against the people from the east coast in the Far East, and they know how powerful they are. Now they find that the people from the east bank seem to be able to directly threaten them in Europe. After thinking about it, they find it a bit troublesome. If they can not offend them, they should try not to offend .Especially now is the crucial period of preparations for war. If you offend the people on the east coast and let them encourage the Tatars and Mongols to go north in a fit of anger, it will be a lot of fun-Russia has just promulgated a law that decides that every 31 The peasant family recruited one person, together with the Cossacks in the territory, formed an army of 2.8 and a navy of [-], but whether these troops could support them in multi-line operations, Peter was not yet confident.

However, the Poles and Swedes are still relatively hard-headed.Although they didn't want to offend the people on the east coast, but the matter really came to a certain point, not to mention that the army passed through Courland, so what if they just wiped it out along the way?They don't have so many overseas interests, so I'm afraid of you!Especially Poland's newly elected King August, who is purely a warrior, did not listen to the opinions of the nobles in the country who originally planned to improve their relations with the east coast, and coveted the wealthy Courland.Although there is no sign of action yet, it is hard to say what will happen in the future. Did you people from the east coast come to the Baltic Sea to bite me?

All in all, the situation in the Baltic Sea is relatively complicated today, and various countries have gone all out to start the war.These guys don't care if there isn't enough benefit or a pain point that they can clearly feel.

People on the east coast are currently watching closely.At this stage, the most important energy is still in the Mediterranean Sea.The Sixth Mixed Regiment of the Army has just opened up the situation in Morocco, and the naval warships are also going north one after another, planning to make a big deal in the local area, and then force the Moroccans to cede land and pay compensation, and open up the domestic market.Therefore, before this matter is completed, they will not cast their eyes elsewhere, so as not to disperse their limited strength.

What's more, the executive council of the Northern Italian Federation in Milan is now plotting to go south to seize Naples, Sicily and other Italian lands controlled by Spain, and the people on the east coast may also cooperate at that time.The previous statement issued by the Riga ambassador was nothing more than a statement.But if anyone really thinks this statement by the people on the east coast is a piece of waste paper and openly provokes them, once they free up their hands in the future, they may face cruel revenge.

The East Coast is not what it used to be.They now have the determination and strength to carry out various interventions in Europe. Let's wait and see what the future holds.
