Chapter 231: Something to Do to Denmark?


Looking at the back of Hans who walked away, William's brows furrowed even more, obviously he didn't expect that history would change so much, Napoleon, who had not developed until after the French Revolution, was now emerging in the upper echelons of France, although this was mainly due to the relationship between Queen Mary and Napoleon.

Forget it, if you can succeed, if you can't succeed, you can only move in search of opportunities, William thought to himself ..........................................

France, Paris, Fontainebleau "Napoleon, are you still used to it in the army?"

Queen Mary looked at Napoleon standing in front of her and said, at the end of last year, Napoleon was assigned to the Paris City Defense Command as a major staff officer, although Napoleon has been begging Marie to arrange himself to be stationed below, but Mary did not agree to Napoleon.

No way, Mary still likes this smart godbrother, and more importantly, Napoleon has been assassinated no less than five times over the years, so Mary is really not at ease with Napoleon's safety, although the intelligence department has found that Napoleon's assassination is related to Prussia, but Mary is skeptical.

You must know that after Louis XVI canonized Napoleon as a viscount, Napoleon's whole family went to Paris to join this child, so except for outings, Napoleon never left Paris at all, how could he have anything to do with Prussia?

Mary was puzzled.

"Your Highness, I'm still used to it, but I hope you will allow me to serve in the garrison below."

"Napoleon, you look at how many assassinations you have encountered over the years, if you leave Paris, there may be some accidents, I will not let you go" Hearing Mary's resolute words, Napoleon lowered his head, and every time he mentioned it to Marie.

Marie would use this excuse to refuse his requests, which made Napoleon hate the assassination of his own forces.

Although several assassination attempts failed to kill Napoleon, the wounds on Napoleon's body showed how much pain he endured, and more seriously, Napoleon's heart was seriously injured in one assassination attempt.

It was also the closest Napoleon came to death, although God blessed him later.

But Napoleon also fell ill.

As soon as he is excited, he will faint.

In this way, Marie naturally felt even more worried about letting Napoleon go.

"Okay, but Her Royal Highness .........."

"Alright, you go and get ready.

I'll send someone to pick you up in the evening, and the Marquis of Kiel has invited me to a banquet in the evening, so come with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid carried a child to Mary's side "Oh, my dear Charlie" Mary set her sights on the child.

This child was none other than Louis XVII, who was counterfeited by countless later generations Seeing Charlie being carried over, Napoleon also walked up, and he liked this Charlie very much, because every time he saw Napoleon, little Charles would smile very happily. ......................................

In the Danish royal palace, Frederick VI stood outside the room and looked at Christian VII who kept beating things inside, speechless for a while, Christian VII's mental illness became more and more serious, he could be awake for two days a week, but now he can't be awake for a few days a month.

From 1784 onwards.

Frederick VI, who was only sixteen at the time, took his father's place as regent.

Frederick VI, who had just come to power, wanted to lead Denmark to strength and prosperity.

It is undeniable that Frederick VI was influenced by the king of neighboring Prussia, who was two years younger than him, and that Christian VII's stepmother, Juliana, had told Frederick VI on her deathbed to learn from the Prussian king and to guard against Prussian ambitions for Denmark.

At that time, Frederick VI did not fully understand the words of this grandmother.

But when he came to power, he realized how difficult the situation in Denmark was, trapped between Sweden and Prussia, and Denmark had very limited room to survive.

Moreover, Sweden made several territorial claims to Norway, albeit subject to the treaty of alliance between Denmark and Russia.

Sweden did not make a move against Denmark, but Frederick VI believed that day would not be too far away.

In May 1788, a Prussian merchant fleet loaded with North American colonial products and a year's tax revenue was attacked by unknown forces in the Kattegat Strait, and only one frigate escaped back to Prussia, and the frigate brought the news that the Danish navy had ambushed the Prussian fleet in the Kattegat Strait, and the whole country was shocked.

When Wilhelm learned of the news, he immediately ordered the Prussian ambassador to Copenhagen to contact the Danish government and said that if the Danish government failed to hand over the murderer and the corresponding compensation, Denmark would bear all the consequences.

The Danish government, stunned when they learned that the Danish navy had indeed done the work, and the navy replied that the Prussian fleet had not paid taxes and was preparing to rush out of the strait, so the navy would sink it.

Frederick VI immediately sent to St.

Petersburg to inform Catherine II of what had happened in the Kattegat Strait, and the Empress expressed considerable indignation, believing that taxes were mandatory for all, and that the Prussian fleet had violated this principle, so the Prussians deserved it.

But when the Danish ambassador asked Russia whether it would be willing to take sides with Denmark on this matter and send troops to Denmark's aid if necessary, Catherine II remained silent.

The situation in Russia was also not good, the Ottoman caliph was ambitious to retake the Crimean Peninsula and the Black Sea area, where news of the build-up of the Ottoman Turkish army had already been on Catherine II's table, and if Russia were to get involved in Denmark, it was hard to guarantee that Prunus would not form a temporary Triple Alliance to deal with the Russian threat, and the empress was not willing to face this situation.

While Copenhagen and St.

Petersburg were in urgent contact, Brandenburg and Stockholm also agreed on the Danish question.

Sweden has not given up its territorial claims to Denmark and Norway since unanimity, but Denmark has never agreed, and Denmark's alliance with Russia has made Sweden feel like a fish in the throat, since Prussia is now willing to settle Denmark, Sweden is naturally willing to intervene, and this kick is not free.

William's condition for Sweden is the entire Norwegian region, and what Sweden needs to pay is to mobilize troops to contain the Russian ** team on the Finnish border, and then mobilize a considerable number of troops to suppress Norway, so that Denmark can not care about each other.

After arranging the Swedish mission, William remembered a very important thing, that is, how the Danish navy should be handled, if it was not wary of the Danish navy, it was not sure when it would be shelled, and as soon as he thought about it, William immediately asked the British to contact him.

In 1781, one of the conditions for Prussia to send troops to the North American continent was that the British Royal Navy helped Prussia contain or even eliminate the Danish Navy, although this condition did not materialize because Prussia temporarily abandoned its plans for Denmark, but William believed that the British regent George IV should not admit it, after all, he also agreed to these treaties in the first place.

At the end of June 1788, the Danish government formally replied to Prussia that the Danish navy had mistaken the Prussian fleet for a smuggling fleet because of its refusal to pay taxes, and that Denmark was willing to make appropriate compensation for the matter, but that Denmark would never leave its loyal naval officers and sailors to the Prussians.

After learning the news, William was furious, and Prussia did not care about the money, but about Prussia's image in the world.

It was also at this time that William's mood was lifted by a piece of news: His Royal Highness George IV, the British regent, accepted Prussia's request, and George IV promised to send a considerable amount of British Royal Navy forces to the Baltic Sea to help Prussia contain the Danish Navy.

In July 1788, Prussia mobilized three divisions to gather in northern Prussia, and Prussian diplomats began to make contact with Mecklenburg, hoping that Mecklenburg would agree to allow the Prussian army to cross.

Regrettably, Mecklenburg rejected the Prussian offer, and they refused to grant Prussia military access, and although the Mecklenburgers had not heard of the story of the false Dao, this did not mean that they did not understand it.

If Mecklenburg allowed the Prussian army to pass through, after the Prussians conquered Denmark, Mecklenburg would obviously cut off the passage between Prussian territories, and Prussia would not allow this to happen.

William's resoluteness surprised William, who did not expect that his 30,000-strong army was gathered not far from the border with Mecklenburg, and that this small park would dare to refuse Prussia's request, and it seemed that he wanted to give it some color.

July became a month of restlessness, and after the Prussian army of 30,000 men gathered in the north, Denmark and Sweden began to mobilize their armies, and Mecklenburg actually began to mobilize its own army of 10,000 men, and the Baltic coast began to become uneasy.

Seeing that the situation was going in a bad direction, Catherine II immediately sent several envoys to various countries in the hope of mediation, but the two countries ignored St.

Petersburg, on the contrary, after receiving the Russian envoys, William and the King of Sweden ordered their respective armies to march towards the border with Russia, which must be said to be a wonderful coincidence.
