1698: Rise of the Swedish Empire

I feel like a book friend said it right before. If Sweden wants to rise and become a pole in the world, especially at this time of the Great Northern War, entering Russia and merging it seems to be the most realistic and best choice. At this time, Russia had not even fully standardized the Russian language (the real standardization and systematization of the Russian language was achieved by Pushkin), and if it really wanted to merge, the population, territory, and expansion directions would all be lost. Da Mao always needs a "little daddy", and they are obviously more willing to accept Swedes than Poles. After all, they could accept Rurik, so how could they not accept another Scandinavian?

The main reason is that Sweden has no population, it doesn't matter if it has a strong army, it doesn't matter if the battle damage ratio is good, the Russians can kill you.

The most likely way for Sweden to succeed is to follow the Ingrid-Adam Qing Dynasty to enter Russia and then follow the Russian path, but there is a high probability that the Swedes will slowly integrate and become Slavs like the Rurik family who entered the customs back then 😁

The best thing for Sweden is to move towards Russia, move to St. Petersburg, and slowly encroach on Russia - at least it still has military advantages now - and follow the Mongolian Eight Banners route Or it can build a very powerful navy in a short period of time, kill the King of England, follow the path of William the Conqueror, and conquer England (this time is a bit too late, the British navy is too strong). The most undesirable thing is to develop in the direction of Central Europe and Germany, in which case he will face enemies from three directions: east (Russia), west (England) and south. Being beaten to death was just a matter of time.

If Sweden does not enter the customs to replace Tsarist Russia, it will eventually have to give up the three Baltic countries, otherwise it will have to fight with Mao Zi and become a feud.

What do you want Sweden to do if you don't want to enter Russia? Now the pig's trotters can be hacked and defeated in Russia. How can the pig's trotters be broken after they are dead and not hung up? After losing the northern war, the land will be cut off and then the roadside?

Sweden has only one way out at the beginning, and that is to learn from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and enter the Tsarist Russia

Around 1700, Europe was in the Little Ice Age, so forget about recruiting immigrants to Sweden and Finland. It is difficult for people in Northern Europe to fill their stomachs. Think of the hungry Mongolians. Around 1700, half a century before that, Sweden belonged to the Ottomans, a hidden ally of France. You once harassed Germany, coveted the throne of Poland, stole the big goose's hometown, and were a solid member of the "Sacrilege Alliance". It just so happened that Prince Eugen and his younger brother defeated the Sultan's chariot in person. This time, the eldest brother of the team was knocked over. The second brother of the team, Faji, was hit with a backhand by Austria, the opponent's eldest brother, who blocked the door. Sweden, the team's third eldest brother, was beaten by the opponent's second eldest brother Bobo, and the third eldest brother Goose and Goose fought together. This was the general situation. In history, Karl XII used the strategic thinking of the previous fifty years to defeat Goose and Bobo, but it definitely didn't work. Your eldest brother lost Hungary in defeat, your second brother lost a lot of overseas colonies, and the Holy Alliance no longer needs to fight on two fronts. My health bar is thick, but your health bar is thin in the hardest-hit area of ​​Xiaoglaihe. Can't afford it.

If Sweden wants to break the situation, it can only unite Sweden, Denmark, and Norway to enhance population, technology, and social civilization. The plan in the book is correct. Support a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth with a weak monarchy but pro-Sweden. The East will eat a small part of Russia's land, control, suppress the German emperor, prevent the rise of Germany, maintain the division of the HRE region, and then develop industry and commerce, and expand colonies. However, Sweden's overseas expansion capabilities are as limited as the Netherlands. It is impossible to compete with Britain. It would be good to unite with a certain country according to the opportunity to occupy a piece of territory in the Americas. For France, Britain and the Netherlands, you can cooperate and fight according to the opportunity, but you must not be hostile to two of them at the same time. The Ottomans are an important ally in containing the rise of Russia and the Shinra. As long as this strategic goal can be achieved, Sweden-Denmark-Norway will become a powerful country in modern society. With a population of more than 20 million and a highly developed society, Carl Twelve will leave history.

You cannot plant a single variety of potatoes, otherwise the disease will cause crop failure, just like the Great Famine in Ireland.

Sweden is determined by its size and geography. No matter how it rises, it will never be able to become a big country like Britain, France and Russia.

😒😒😒 I have read so many chapters. Besides fighting, I have no objection to it if you are writing about war. If you want to write about the rise of great powers, can you please focus on certain aspects? Don't be like some hydrology, which has 1,200 chapters and is only a year or two older.

Sweden should give up its territory except Northern Europe and focus on dealing with Russia and seizing the port of Murmansk

Eu4 Sweden kills Moscow and becomes Russia. It is really impossible for Sweden to kill Moscow.

Writing about the Balkans and Spain is more promising than Northern Europe.

It is impossible for Sweden to rise in mainland Europe. Due to geographical and innate conditions, a Tsarist Russia can directly kill Sweden. However, Tsarist Russia is not particularly interested in Swedish land, so it has not taken action. Sweden wants to prove its value by starting its own domestic development, then improving its relations with Western Europe, finding ways to prove that it can be a watchdog for Western Europe, and win over Western Europe to support it in occupying a piece of territory in Eastern Europe. At the same time, it promises to guard Western Europe and not expand. Uniting the Balkan and Eastern European countries to guard Western Europe and keep an eye on Tsarist Russia is the prerequisite for its rise. Otherwise, no one will help you, and it will be a matter of time before you are destroyed by Russia. The whole world will not support your expansion. Just this small population will die anyway. After gaining territory in Eastern Europe, you can pull in the Balkans to help guard Western Europe, but you cannot expand in the Balkans. If you expand to Western Europe and feel threatened, they will not support you. You must maintain the division of Eastern Europe and let Western Europe support you in all aspects. You must be a watchdog so that all of Western Europe will support you. Then the most important thing is to win over Western Europe for colonization. Africa is definitely not suitable, as is Western Europe's sphere of influence. Around 1700, the most suitable thing was to drag Britain's father to colonize the United States. At that time, the United States had not yet become independent, so they colonized the Americas and found some good places that Britain did not want. Then start to develop and immigrate to science and technology. If you fail to do the above basic points, it is impossible for Sweden to rise and will be destroyed sooner or later, unless the author directly gives an exaggerated golden finger. Sweden is geographically poor, so there will not be a large number of immigrants. If you want to directly unify the three Nordic countries, you will not have the population base. Western Europe will not agree and will not expand. In the long run, it will also be destroyed by Tsarist Russia. If you don't want to die, you have to rely on your Western European dad and prove yourself. If you want to side with Tsarist Russia, regardless of whether Tsarist Russia agrees or not, your father in Western Europe will beat you to death faster. Tsarist Russia is not strong and will not help you at all. If you don't expand, you will always die. You can't expand even if Tsarist Russia supports you, because Tsarist Russia doesn't have a navy that can go beyond the Mediterranean, so it's just rubbish. The most logical way to rise is to cling to the lap of British and French fathers and serve as watchdogs for others.

Ever since P removed the Swedish core mod from the shelves, I really hate this country 😅

I have always subscribed, and I think the author writes well! If he really can't continue writing, it would be good for the author to hold back a dozen more chapters to deduce, explain clearly, and conclude the story of the past ten years.

It's too watery and I can't stand it. I write here and there, and there are too few main characters and too many supporting characters. The supporting characters are too obscene. 88

After conquering Russia, the territory close to you must be annexed. At least one-third of it must be acquired. Otherwise, what if a powerful tsar rises in the future and wants to unify the entire Russia? There is also only a population of 2 million. There was no nationalism in the 17th and 18th centuries. No matter what, we have to increase the population. Only when the population base increases can we have the foundation of a strong country. In the future, the North German states can also annex Denmark and Poland, and then they can have a voice in Europe. Now you just charge some money for conquering, and it is a mercenary style! Without a population, how can we develop colonies and become a great power? !

Reading a book will make people regret it; finishing a book will make people proud. If you go back to work with confidence, what will you do that will not increase the probability of success 😍

In fact, the author's writing is really good. You are welcome to come back and continue writing.

😐😆😐

It's clearly written very well, why isn't it updated?😭
