William and Locks, who remained in the room, looked at Lord North's hurried back and smiled, for Prussia, Austria is currently insufficient, so Prussia must seize an outlet to the sea as soon as possible, seeing that European countries have achieved many benefits because of the sea, Prussia must join as soon as possible.
Wilhelm knew that the main purpose of the two world wars launched by Germany was to compete with the old colonial empires such as Britain and France for the colonial interests of the world, and Prussia must take advantage of the best time to complete the dream of the successive rulers of the Hohenzollern family.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
William's envoy to the Kingdom of Sweden was cordially received by King Gustantif of Sweden, and the Prussian envoy was named Peter Simon Pallas, a veteran diplomat who had represented Prussia on many occasions.
The most important thing is that Pallas and the Swedish king studied academics together when they were young, and the two formed a deep friendship.
So when Locks suggested to Wilhelm that Pallas represent Prussia in Sweden, Wilhelm agreed without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, on behalf of my Majesty Wilhelm, I extend my best wishes to you and to the Kingdom of Sweden," Pallas said as he saluted before Gustav, and the two were in the living room of the Swedish Palace "Pallas, we haven't seen each other for a long time, this time you need to stay in Sweden for a while, and our old friends will get together," Gustav laughed "Your Majesty, I have shouldered the sacred mission of His Majesty William of our country, and I must complete the mission before I can discuss with you the matters of interest to each of us," Pallas said respectfully I know what your majesty Wilhelm has to do with you, tell me about it," Gustav said, confused "Your Majesty, I have heard that there was an unpleasant incident between Sweden and Russia in the last year," Pallas asked tentatively "Yes, last year, when Russia shamelessly blockaded the Gulf of Bothnia in our country, the Tsarina shamelessly declared that they had an undisputed right over Finland," said Gustantiff with a sad face when he heard Pallas mention the scar in his heart "Well, then, Your Majesty, as far as I know, in the Nordic region Russia has often supported those opponents of Sweden and some careerists, and we, the King of Prussia, express our strong condemnation and deep dissatisfaction with this act of Russia," said Pallas righteously Didn't Russia help you Prussia to win the war in the Austro-Prussian War that just ended?"
asked Gustav with interest "Your Majesty, we must admit that Russia did play a great role in the victory of the war in the Austro-Prussian War, but all this was on the premise that our country ceded some of its interests," Pallas said with a non-angry expression "So, you Prussia are also dissatisfied with Russia," said Gustav, as if thinking of something, excitedly "Of course, His Majesty Wilhelm believes that the pagans supported by Russia must be revolted by all the Jesus Christ world, and His Majesty Wilhelm is willing to help the Kingdom of Sweden contain the Russians in Eastern Europe," Pallas said of Prussia's conditions "Your Majesty the King is so generous, I don't know what our country has to give," asked Gustav, knowing full well that Prussia could not come to his aid for no reason.
"Your Majesty believes that Prussia and Sweden have a natural basis for cooperation, that both countries are under great pressure from Russia and Denmark, and that the two countries should strengthen their cooperation, and that in the Baltic region, Sweden will help us to contain the threat of the Russian Baltic Fleet, and that we will exert pressure on Russia in East Prussia in Eastern Europe," Pallas restated to Gustav "So, His Majesty Wilhelm of your country wants to form an alliance with us," asked Gustanff "Yes, in the Baltic region, Prussia and the Kingdom of Sweden have common interests, and if the Kingdom of Sweden wants to develop, it must eliminate the two great enemies of Denmark and Russia, and His Majesty the King is very willing to help Sweden."
When Pallas saw Gustav's expression, he struck while the iron was hot: "At this stage, Russia has achieved hegemony in Eastern Europe, and the recently concluded Russo-Turkish War allowed Russia to gain a vast area on the northern shore of the Black Sea, including the Crimean Peninsula, and the Russians will definitely focus on the Nordic region next.
As for Denmark, as far as I know, Denmark has always imposed high taxes on the passage of Swedish merchant ships through the Kattegat Strait, and our two countries must come together to face this complex situation."
"You are right, Pallas, you have made me very excited, so let my ministers talk to you carefully, and if there is no problem, we are willing to make an alliance with Prussia," Gustav made up his mind.
Since the death of the eloquent Gustav II Adolf, Sweden has begun a gradual decline to the Great Northern War has disgraced the Kingdom of Sweden, after the Great Northern War, the Kingdom of Sweden has lost its position to express its opinion on European affairs, Gustav does not want to reproduce the power of the Kingdom of Sweden at its peak, but the biggest obstacle in front of him is Russia.
It was on the basis of understanding that Gustav's desire to revive Sweden that Wilhelm sent Pallas to Sweden, and it turned out that the two countries hit it off, after all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend is the eternal theorem.
Later, Pallas signed on behalf of Sweden after carefully reviewing the terms of Pallas and determining that there were no unfavorable terms against Sweden after carefully reviewing Pallas's conditions, Sventes, a hard-line nationalist who hated Russia and Denmark.
The Preh Alliance Agreement states: 1.
Prussia entered into an alliance with Sweden, and if a third country declared war on one of them, it would be a declaration of war on the other. 2.
If one of Prussia and Sweden declares war on a third country, the other country must enter the war unconditionally. 3.
In the Baltic region, Sweden is obliged to assist Prussia in defending itself against the Russian and Danish fleets. 4.
Prussia and Sweden jointly protested against Denmark's collection of taxes on ships passing through the Kattegat Strait. 5.
Prussia must ensure that it maintains a garrison of 50,000 troops in East Prussia at all times in order to ensure an effective threat to Russia. 6.
Prussia offered an interest-free loan of three million marks of silver to Sweden within two years, and Sweden was to pay it off over twenty years. 7.
Prussia declared that Finland was the indisputable inherent territory of the Kingdom of Sweden and that any intervention by any country would be a provocation to Prussia. 8.
Prussia sent a corps of officers with a total of fifty men to help Sweden train its troops.
After the signing of the treaty, both countries were happy.
Gustav felt that the pressure from Russia was enormous, and there was no good strategy for dealing with it, and the initiative of the Prussians gave Gustav hope to deal with Russia.
Afterwards, Gustav held a grand banquet at which Gustav announced to all the attendees the news of Sweden's alliance with Prussia.
When Catherine II of Russia learned of Sweden's alliance with Prussia, she threw the vase in anger.
Prussia did not deliver the Prussian Poland that Prussia had promised to cede as scheduled, and Prussia always found a messy excuse to see that Prussia did not intend to give it.
Prussia also repented of its promise to support the Russians in Austrian Poland and Moravia, and helped the Austrians to claim the occupied territories from Russia.
Of course, how could Catherine II's meat be spit out again, but now not only the Prussians, but even the French began to put pressure on Russia, and Russia had to make some concessions.
Catherine II was completely disgusted with the little fox William, and she gritted her teeth and shouted to give the Prussians a good look, but before she could make a move, the little fox took the lead again, which made Catherine II not angry.
Catherine II immediately made a decision, she ordered her ministers to reach a compromise with the Austrians, returning Moravia to Austria and allowing the Austrians to redeem the former Austrian Poland, and on the other hand, she sent envoys to Vienna and Denmark, hoping that the three countries could reach an agreement against the Prussian League.
William was very happy when he received the report on the completion of Pallas's mission, and of course there was one happy thing, that is, after Lord North asked George III, George III agreed to Prussia's proposal after thinking twice.
Britain could help Prussia defeat the Danish navy, but Prussia had to send an army of at least 5,000 to North America by August of this year to assist Britain.* Prussia must send no less than 20,000 troops to North America by June next year.
In addition, if Prussia acquired Denmark, Prussia would have to cooperate with Britain in inspecting ships coming and going in the North Sea, and Prussia would have to unconditionally detain and hand over to Britain any material that might support North America or that might have the opposite effect on British counterinsurgency operations in North America.
As long as Prussia gains Denmark, there will be no threat to Prussia's back, and Wilhelm can quietly watch the development of the situation in Europe at all times, without worrying about the enemy, and the value of a vast strategic depth is unimaginable.
