Swedish Empire.
Once one of the European powers, after a thirty-year war with Tsarist Russia, it lost a large area of land in the Baltic Sea and even sued for peace with Tsarist Russia.
From then on, the empire declined until war broke out between Prussia and Austria, involving all of Europe.
As a country of the German Confederation, it should stand on a united front with Prussia, which is also a member of the German Confederation.
But King Adolf of Sweden decided to join the alliance between France, Austria and Russia.
Former rivals, now comrades-in-arms.
It is so ironic, but the alliance with France, Austria and Russia was indeed as Adolf expected. The crumbling Swedish Empire barely stabilized the current situation.
At least Sweden could now claim the Baltic land of Pomerania.
This fertile land located on the Baltic Sea will give Sweden greater living space.
After the failure of the war against Tsarist Russia, Sweden lacked large areas of territory in Europe. After losing its land and a large population, Sweden has weakened too much.
But if these two pieces of land can be obtained from Prussia, Sweden's status in the Baltic Sea will rise sharply.
At this moment, Adolf was in the palace, looking at the huge map of Europe.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and at this moment, a rather childish voice sounded.
"Grandpa, what are you looking at?"
Adolf looked over at the childish voice and smiled fondly: "Oh, it's Peter."
Adolf walked over quickly and picked up the boy, who was already eleven or twelve years old.
The boy called Peter looked at the map of Europe with longing eyes.
He was fascinated by the densely packed lines on the map that were incomprehensible.
Adolf knew that his grandson had an almost obsessive interest in military warfare, but he was extremely afraid of the sound of artillery.
"How about Peter, can you see how the battle is going now?"
Peter bit his finger. Even if his grandfather, who was the king, spoke to him, he would not take his eyes off the map for a second.
"You see, now Sweden has occupied Pomerania in the east."
Adolf nodded, with a more approving look in his eyes, and continued to ask: "How do you think this war will be fought next?"
Peter looked quite mature and said seriously: "From the map, our Swedish army can now continue to occupy western Pomerania."
"But I think we'd better not do this, because Tsarist Russia is right next to us. If we occupy western Pomerania now, it will arouse the hatred of Tsarist Russia."
"They have blocked all coastal ports by dragon flames. What they lack most now is ports. We, Sweden, are on the coast of the Baltic Sea. There is no need to attack."
"It would be better to let Tsarist Russia continue to fight Prussia."
"I think we should go for Hamburg or Bremen."
"These places are deep in the heart of Europe, and we in Sweden can open up the North Sea through Hamburg and have broad sea routes."
After hearing this, Adolf was stunned for three seconds.
"Grandpa, am I right?" Peter asked innocently.
Adolf finally regained his composure and smiled: "You are absolutely right."
Looking at his grandson, who is only twelve years old, he can have such a clear analysis of the current war situation.
It's just a pity...
Adolf sighed. A kid like Peter didn't feel the slight change in Adolf's expression.
Looking at the map innocently as always.
Prussia frowned slightly as he saw a country below Pomenial.
"Hey, why is Prussia still here? The territory seems to be bigger."
Adolf looked at Prussia with a complicated expression.
As a member of the German Federal State, Sweden should stand with the German countries, but Sweden has no choice.
Sweden's national power is now weakened to a precarious position, and the ruler of Prussia, Frederick II, is an out-and-out careerist.
Prussia has been conquering German countries, and Prussia's ambitions can be seen from its attack on Silesil.
Silesia is the richest region in Austria.
Since Prussia invaded Silesia, most German countries have drawn a clear line with Prussia.
Sweden is no exception.
Adolf looked at his grandson and said, "That's because Prussia has found a powerful country as their foreign aid base."
Peter said nothing, but he was completely unimpressed by Adolf's statement.
In his opinion, Dragon Flame did not help Prussia reduce much pressure.
It was only the recent victory of Longyan's two battles that gave Prussia a chance to breathe.
As for Prussia's other ally, Britain.
Forget about him.
On the contrary, Peter felt that Frederick the Great was very capable. Judging from the speed with which he attacked Poland and divided it, we knew how powerful he was.
You must know that when Prussia attacked and carved up Poland, Prussia faced a great crisis on the front battlefield, and Sweden was also a party that participated in the siege of Prussia.
So there were things that Peter could see. He understood better than anyone how difficult Prussia was at that time.
If you are not careful, your body will be wiped out.
But Frederick II attacked Poland at this time and won. Now he is dividing Poland with Tsarist Russia, Prussia and the Ottoman Empire.
To the young Peter, he looked like a hero.
Peter grew up in Sweden, a German country, and everything he came into contact with was German.
He knew how powerful Germany had been and how terrifying the complete Holy Roman Empire was.
He was full of longing for Frederick II's behavior.
He respected him so much that he even believed that if anyone could unify Germany, then that person would definitely be Frederick II.
But he never told his grandfather, Adolf, such thoughts.
He won't be happy.
At this time, a man walked into Adolf's palace. He looked at Adolf and then at Peter, frowning slightly.
Adolf looked at the person coming, it was his general Hughes.
"See Your Majesty."
"Well, get up."
Adolf said calmly: "Why did you come to me?"
Hughes glanced at Peter: "Your Majesty..."
Hughes gestured to Adolf with his eyes, Peter was still here.
But Adolf waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Peter is still my grandson now."
Hughes glanced at Peter, and then said: "Your Majesty has just received a military report that our transport team in Hamburg was attacked."
"A lot of food was lost."
"What!" Adolf was furious.
Hamburg is now the territory of the Franco-Austrian Allied Forces, and they can attack the grain they transport on their own territory.
You are simply looking for death!
"Check, we must kill this group of robbers!"
"yes……"
