What would it mean if the Ming Empire attacked Denmark?

The Ming Empire will dispatch its largest fleet in the world!

If you are shocked by the Ming Empire's armored forces and surprised by the Ming Empire's bomber fleet.

That means you haven't seen the Ming Empire Navy that has both carrier-based aircraft units and marines.

After that impassioned speech in the newspapers, King Christian VI of Denmark was urged to apologize.

The Ming Empire's withdrawal of diplomats stationed in Denmark was the most obvious signal. Maybe an apology at this time can restore the situation.

However, the aloof Christian VI firmly refused to apologize, because in addition to his national hatred against Sweden, he also had family hatred!

His father, Frederick IV, was bewitched by the Emperor of the Ming Empire, and he gave up and married his second wife, Anna.

The reason that made Christian VI angry was that his father married a concubine without divorce and neglected his mother!

Frederick IV had good reasons for doing this. In order to increase the country's population, he announced that he would follow France and implement polygamy.

However, this order was absolutely unacceptable to Christian VI, who expected exclusive love, and was extremely opposed to his father doing this.

After he ascended the throne, he directly deposed Queen Mother Anne and placed her under house arrest.

Christian VI was unwilling to recall his father, Frederick IV, because in addition to his mother and the abominable Anne, his father also had four women...

What makes outsiders laugh is that Christian VI does not like his father's woman, and the Danish public does not like His Majesty the King's woman, even if she is the only one!

Queen Sophie comes from the German region, is a devout believer, and believes that couples should not live intimately frequently except for procreation.

The most important thing is that not only does she like to do this, but she also calls on Danes from top to bottom to follow suit...

So much so that many Danes half-jokingly said that if they wanted to enjoy their two-person world with their wives, they would have to go to the nearby Principality of Mecklenburg-Schwerin or Prussia, otherwise they would be violating the queen's wishes!

As for the Ming Empire's strong support for Sweden and the Ming Empire's invasion of the Holy Roman Empire.

Although most Danes objected and condemned this act.

But as long as Denmark is not involved, everyone can accept it.

Christian VI's remarks in newspapers and on the radio were clearly beyond the tolerance of ordinary Danes.

What does it mean to be at odds with the Ming Empire, or even go to war?

Need more to say?

I heard that the area around Warsaw has become a no-man’s land!

Does His Majesty the King want to turn Copenhagen into a no-man's land?

When the nobles saw that the Ming Empire's diplomats had evacuated their country, they immediately advised Christian VI worriedly.

Seeing that the king still hadn't changed his mind and was still determined to have his own way, everyone had no choice but to find ways to run away in advance.

After discovering that the fleet of the Ming Empire has sailed to the sea off Copenhagen, if you want to leave, will you still be able to leave?

"Your Majesty, I wonder what your attitude is towards Denmark?"

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming Empire did not invade the Holy Roman Empire for the second time, Louis XIV chose to go to the Eastern World.

On the one hand, we must understand the attitude of the emperor of the Ming Empire, and on the other hand, we must drink some more fairy medicine to stay young.

"Denmark privately assisted the Holy Roman Empire with a large amount of arms, and its king publicly criticized the Ming Dynasty. I can only be forced to think that this country is willing to fight side by side with the Holy Roman Empire. It is brave and fearless and deserves respect. See you on the battlefield!"

There is no need to be secretive about starting a war against Denmark. The current power of the Gate Empire can be used to do whatever it wants, and it can fight whoever it wants, and it can also tell you that I am going to fight you!

"Your Majesty has not thought that once your country attacks Denmark, it may trigger a chain reaction in neighboring countries?"

Louis XIV also wanted to know how much appetite the Ming Emperor had, so that France would not be affected.

"If your country, the Netherlands, Sweden, Prussia and other countries do not plan to participate in the war, then it will not affect the surrounding countries at all!"

The Principality of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, in Zhu Cihong's eyes, was not a serious country at all.

"Is there no room for relaxation?"

Louis XIV still wanted to make a final effort. He was not willing to see the war expand, especially in Europe.

"Denmark has given up aiding the Holy Roman Empire in any way, and its king has apologized to me since he came to the north. Not letting it cede territory or make compensation is the biggest concession I can make! The time limit is January 1st next year. Before, there was no need to regret it when it expired, I gave him enough time to think about it!”

For the sake of his old friend, Zhu Cixiang did not refuse arbitrarily, but it was equivalent to issuing an ultimatum.

Where to go depends on what Christian VI wants.

"Everyone hopes for peaceful development, and I hope there is still a chance for things to turn around!"

Louis XIV wanted to threaten the whole of Europe, but he was obviously not fooled and didn't care at all because he relied on his superior strength.

Neither Tourville nor Colbert supported Louis XIV in helping Christian VI or Leopold. They believed that these were two lunatics seeking death.

Even if the French army joins the war, they will stand on the side of the Ming Empire. Only in this way can they gain the greatest benefits.

The Holy Roman Empire was able to repel the Ming army last year because of the aid from European countries and the sudden outbreak of plague.

You can’t expect European countries to bleed every time and then rely on God to make ends meet...

If a plague breaks out every time, then there is no need for the Ming army to attack, and the Holy Roman Empire itself will be almost dead.

Just because Menggu's army was able to do this didn't mean that the Holy Roman Empire could do this successfully.

Besides, what are the specific criteria for success?

You can't say that you can repel the Ming army and at the same time bring your population close to zero, right?

What is the point of such resistance?

Even without military means, the Ming Empire still achieved its goal of annihilating the Holy Roman Empire!

"To be fair, the conditions for such an apology are not high, so I would have agreed!"

In the room of the French Embassy in the Ming Empire where Louis XIV stayed, Tourville did not need to worry about being overheard by outsiders.

"Hey~! It's a pity that guy is not as smart as you!"

Kolbe took a sip of tea with sugar and sighed.

He didn't want to see Denmark destroyed by the Ming Empire's fleet, but this matter was no longer something he could control.

"I would like to see up close what the carrier-based aircraft units of the Ming Empire Navy are capable of!"

Tourville has always been obsessed with carrier-based aircraft and aircraft carriers, and now he finally encountered a god-given opportunity.

"If there is such an opportunity, I hope your fleet is a little further away from the battlefield to avoid accidental damage. Every battleship costs money to equip the navy!"

Colbert could not order Tourville, but could only remind the guy not to get too close out of kindness.

"Okay, then I'll do my best, Jean"

Tourville would not be stupid enough to post the link, and he would also inform Jie Xuan about watching the game in advance.

That old friend will still give him some face, more or less, he can't teach you step by step, but it should be enough just to satisfy your eyes.

"The Ming Empire may not have had the reason or willingness to attack Denmark before, but through that man's 'efforts', it now has both!"

Kolbe didn't know what Christian VI was thinking. How could there be anyone in the world who really used eggs to touch stones?

Denmark is different from the Holy Roman Empire. Its mainland is just the Jutland Peninsula plus a few large islands, and its strategic depth is almost zero.

However, the navy was the one with the greatest disparity in external strength among the three armies of the Ming Empire.

The terrain of Denmark's mainland determines that the battlefield is very suitable for the Ming army's attack.

At this time, you cannot naively expect a plague to break out at sea...

Do you expect the sailors of the Ming Empire to collectively get seasick?

After this bold idea emerged from his mind, even Kolbe found it funny!

Now that His Majesty the Emperor has made his final mediation efforts, Colbert and Tourville can only wait and see what happens.

The heads of state of other countries who arrived in the northern capital also had this intention. While drinking the elixir, they also wanted to see whether the Ming Empire would begin to decline due to the war with the Holy Roman Empire.

The apparent cause is the plague, but how many people know the actual cause?

If you go directly to the Ming Emperor, can he tell you directly?

So everyone is watching indifferently, waiting for the outcome of the second Myojin War.

If the Ming Empire wins, it means that it was indeed because of the plague that the troops retreated.

Otherwise, we need to reconsider our relationship with the Ming Empire...

Before the summit, Jiexuan, who had already received orders, assembled fleets from the mainland and Australia at the Aceh base in northern Sumatra, and then marched through Ceylon and the Maldives and entered the Gulf of Aden.

After passing through the Sudan Canal, we arrived at the naval base in Crete, where we replenished fresh water, fruits, vegetables and fish before completing the last leg of the journey.

In order to gain absolute control of the sea and air, and at the same time deter surrounding countries with ulterior motives.

Jiexuan mobilized 12 aircraft carriers and 12 amphibious assault ships, carrying a total of 384 "Blackfoot Albatross" carrier-based aircraft.

At the same time, the fleet also included twelve battleships (four Scharnhorst, eight König), thirty-six cruisers (twenty-four Blücher, sixteen Bismarck), and ninety-two destroyers (Sixteen Dingyuan, seventy-six Yoshino).

In addition, the Ministry of War also mobilized 300 merchant ships of 5,000 to 10,000 tons to transport soldiers of the four marine brigades and corresponding weapons and equipment, as well as various supplies.

The amphibious assault ship does not carry helicopters because some merchant ships have modified their decks to have helicopter landing platforms and can transport helicopters.

In addition, Zheng Zhilong asked Zheng Chenggong to lead the Zheng fleet to assist in the battle, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The lineup included two Tier VIII battleships, four Tier VII battleships, eight cruisers, twenty destroyers, one hundred merchant ships, and three marine brigades.

Poirot, who was far away in South America, couldn't hold back his excitement and strongly demanded the dispatch of troops, and dispatched a very scary armed force.

Although the fleet is inferior to Zheng's in strength, it still has two battleships, two cruisers, four destroyers, plus one auxiliary ship and two brigades of soldiers.

In order to avoid accidental injury, Zhu Cixiang did not agree to Ibrahim also sending troops to attack Denmark, because the men of the two helpers were all yellow-skinned.

Ibrahim did have a yellow-skinned army, which was the Qing army that had surrendered before, but given their special relationship with the Ming Empire, it was difficult to show them off.

Fortunately, we can still use this braided army to attack Vienna. The Qing army is a very good cavalry unit, and the soldiers are hard-working and have no complaints.

When the massive "Big Orange" fleet appeared in the waters west of Jutland on April 1, 1735, the sailors on the Danish navy's ironclads responsible for reconnaissance were dumbfounded.

Looking at the sudden burst of water columns next to the battleship, everyone realized that it was not a mirage!

Jiexuan allowed the opponent to surrender on the spot, and even immediately turned back to the nearest port, and then everyone went ashore to escape.

But if they resist on the spot or run away while fighting, then don't blame yourself for being rude to them.

Send everyone to feed the fish for free, there is no second way!

The Ming Navy would not kindly salvage enemy sailors who fell into the water after sinking the opponent.

Since you have the courage to resist, you should be able to swim back to the shore!

Looking at the planes in the sky, the crew members were at a loss.

"what should we do?"

"Is that really the yellow-skinned monkey's fleet?"

"Oh my God! It's terrible!"

Fortunately, the captain did not lose his mind and ordered to flee without any thought of blocking.

His idea was simple, that is, let the battleship sail into the shoal and then find a way to drag it out after the war.

This can not only save the battleship, but also protect the safety of the soldiers under his command. It is a good way to get the best of both worlds.

It's not impossible to resist on the spot, but when it comes to picking off hundreds of people...

Especially since the opponent also has dozens of aircraft carriers and battleships, as long as he is not a fool, he will not do stupid things!

According to the cake-cutting plan agreed upon in advance, the most valuable Zealand Island, the island where Copenhagen is located, plus the Jutland Peninsula belong to the Ming Dynasty Navy.

The islands of Lolland and Falster, south of Zealand, plus Meung Island and a bunch of surrounding small islands, all belong to the Inca navy that came from afar.

Funen, Denmark's second largest island, as well as Langeland, Sams, Als, Air, and Cossinge belong to Zheng Jun.

The Inca army and the Zheng army can do whatever they want on the islands in their own war zone, and Jiexuan will not interfere at all.

All human and animal money found there, except special persons and items, shall belong to them.

Those two helpers came all the way, and Jiexuan certainly wouldn't let them return empty-handed.

Since we are eating meat this time, everyone has a share from top to bottom.

The navy fights wars differently from the army in that it is extremely predatory.

As early as decades ago, Jiexuan and his sailor grandfathers had done this...

There is another difference, that is, the navy usually attacks the richest enemy in the enemy country first, not giving the opponent time to escape.

Especially a coastal city like Copenhagen, it is simply a prey tailor-made for the Ming Dynasty's navy!

After the fleet enters the strait, it can drive directly to Copenhagen.

Jiexuan's purpose of bringing so many battleships and cruisers is obvious. They are the best siege weapons!
