At the moment, Sweden only has territorial claims to Eastern Lithuania and Latvia, and if the Russians provoke the Swedes, don't forget that Finland on the border with the Russian Empire is now the territory of the Swedes, and if the Swedes mobilize heavy troops to deploy in Finland, then St.
Petersburg will be in danger of being threatened by the Swedes.
Thinking about Moscow, which has now fallen into the hands of Brankoff's rebels, once St.
Petersburg is also captured by the Swedes, then the Russian Empire will really run out, and thinking about the terrible consequences, Penin's body shuddered.
But then there was a burst of sorrow in Penning's heart, the Swedes, who had been beaten like dead worms by the Russian Empire, now dared to provoke the Russian Empire, which was simply the sorrow and shame of the Empire!
However, for the time being, we still have to reply to the note of the Swedes, but looking at the Dumas who are insulting each other in the Duma at the moment, Penning's face is full of wry smiles, counting on these greedy nobles to think about the empire, Penning himself feels that his thoughts are a little naïve.
But as the prime minister of the empire at the moment, Penning can't stand by and watch these Dumas quarrel endlessly, knowing that the Swedes are still waiting for a reply.
"Alright, well, don't make any noise, now Your Majesty has set off for Estonia, and I estimate that according to the distance, even if we send the fastest horse now, it will not be possible to get His Majesty's opinion on this matter within the time required by the Swedes, so this matter still needs to be decided by our Duma.
I propose that all the Dumas vote on both options.
And the choice with the most votes will be the choice of the central government of the Russian Empire!
” After Pan Ning's words were finished, no one spoke at the scene, and I have to say that Pan Ning's approach was a helpless choice.
But it is obviously unrealistic to drag it out, so this method becomes the last resort.
Seeing that none of the Dumas objected to his proposal, Penin ordered his attendants to distribute a pile of paper into the hands of the various Duma.
Half an hour later, more than a hundred Duma choices were placed on a table in the center of the hall "The choice we make at this moment will affect the entire Empire, but we have no other choice, God forbid, we, the Russian Empire, can make a choice that no one here will regret!"
After becoming Prime Minister of the Empire.
Although Penning adopted a compromise attitude towards all forces in the empire in a certain aspect, it did not affect the attitude of Panning at this moment to think about the country and compassionate the people.
After a while, the results of the Duma vote were counted.
More than sixty Dumas chose to accede to the demands of the Swedes, thirty demanded a declaration of war on Sweden, and more than forty Dumas chose to abstain.
Seeing the results of the vote, Penning breathed a sigh of relief.
Acceding to the Swedes' demands for the time being was undoubtedly the best and last option for the Russian Empire.
Once war was declared on the Swedes.
Then the Russian Empire will once again open a third battlefield in addition to the two fronts at present, and the Russian Empire no longer has the strength to maintain the third front.
"The choice we make at this moment is not only on behalf of the Duma, but also on behalf of the Holy Russian Empire under God's blessing, no matter what this choice will bring to the Empire, but as the middle class of the Empire, all of us will be responsible for the choices we make, even if it will be a boundless hell waiting for us!"
After saying that, Penin left the Duma parliament.
And after Penning left, all the Duma deputies had a relieved look on their faces.
It was after Penning's diplomatic note to the Swedes that he replied.
The Swedish envoy had a smug look on his clothes, knowing that if he could suppress the old empire in the past and make such a humiliating compromise, the great name of the envoy would remain on the history of Sweden forever.
Just after the Swedish envoy left, Penning sat down on his chair and sighed deeply, he had never felt so humiliated as he did today, you must know that whether it was the time of Catherine II or the era of Paul I, in the face of the Swedes, Penning had a natural sense of superiority, and now, his sense of superiority is gone.
The Russians compromised with the Swedes, and on the Bavarian border, Dafilia led more than 36,000 Prussian and British troops to attack Bavaria.
The Bavarian army, which was still in a state of national conscription, probably never imagined that the Prussian army would invade Bavaria in spite of the current situation on the front lines of Bohemia.
Under such circumstances, the Prussian corps led by Dafilia could be said to be overwhelmed, and soon broke through the Bavarian army stationed on the northern front and invaded Bavarian territory.
By the time Etans learned of the Prussian attack, the Daflilian Army had already marched to Neuinburg, and the Bavarian army was either defeated by the Prussians or forced to surrender to Prussia.
Although Etans had raised a large number of troops after the Prussian invasion of Bavaria for the first time, these troops, although they appeared to be well-armed, had a very serious problem: they were poorly trained.
How could these Bavarian soldiers, who had never even been on the battlefield, be able to defeat the Prussian and British forces that had just been transferred from the battlefield on the Main.
Enraged, Itans summoned all the Bavarian mobile forces he could muster, an army of 40,000 men, in Munich, and he decided to lead these 40,000 troops north to fight the Prussians.
Itans's resolution was questioned by some people in Bavaria, after all, the Prussian army was not strong for a day or two, and although it seemed that the 40,000 Bavarian army had a numerical advantage over the more than 30,000 Prussian-British troops, this advantage was not very obvious, and the combat effectiveness of the Bavarian army was really doubtful.
The shrewd Itansi would not have made such a reckless decision, but with the Prussian army's invincibility in northern Bavaria, a large number of voices of surrender suddenly arose within Bavaria, and Itans had to worry about these voices.
Although Itans purged a large number of officials close to Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War, the Prussian power was not purged in Bavaria, otherwise there would not have been the situation when the Prussian army came to Munich last time.
And this time, although the arrival of the Daphelian Legion can be said to be very sudden, it still set off a huge wave in Bavaria, in order to recruit a large number of soldiers throughout the country, Itans violated the power of a considerable part of the nobility, coupled with the Prussian intelligence agencies after learning of the arrival of the Daphelia Legion, which caused Itans to become quite passive to a certain extent.
Therefore, it was under such circumstances that Itans had to lead the army to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle with the Prussian army, because Itans knew that if he only knew that he was beaten passively, then what awaited him would be a tragic end.
No one likes to be beaten passively, especially a ruler like Itansi, who will only lose the support of the nobility and the people.
After the 40,000 Bavarian troops were hastily assembled, Itans himself led the army to northern Bavaria.
Itansi is not at ease with whom this army is in his hands, it's not that Itansi doesn't have any trusted cronies, the main thing is that the relevance of this war is too important, and Itansi is not worried about putting the fate of the country in the hands of someone other than himself.
In a very short time, Etansi's heart was passed into the hands of Dafilia, and when Daphilia learned that Itansi would come to meet him with 40,000 Bavarian troops, Dafilia's face was full of joy.
Munich is a fortified city, and Dafilia, who had led an army to besiege Munich for a short time, had already learned the power of Munich, and in such a situation, it was a good choice for Dafilia to be able to force Itansi to personally lead the army out of the city and fight with him.

"Scharnhorst, you lead the 3rd Division to Oberhausen, once you get my military order, then you will lead the 3rd Division back to the rear of the Bavarian army, waiting for my order to encircle and annihilate!"
Dafilia gave the order to Scharnhorst, and Scharnhorst was naturally happy to accept it.
Since Dafilia arrived in the Main war zone, Scharnhorst has some bitterness in his heart, after all, Scharnhorst has lost his right to stand alone after Dafilia's arrival, and now Dafilia has ordered Scharnhorst to go to Oberhausen naturally gives him a certain degree of autonomy.
The 40,000 Bavarian army was not much of a threat to Dafilia, and even if he gave Dafilia two divisions of the Prussian army, Dafilia was confident that he would be able to defeat the Bavarian army.
But defeat and encirclement are two different things, and the defeat of the Bavarian army is certainly a cause for good, but once the majority of the Bavarian army can escape from Munich, it will undoubtedly bring unpredictable risks to the Prussian army's next plan, which Dafilia does not want to see.
Therefore, Dafilia felt that it was better to be able to encircle and annihilate the 40,000 Bavarian army led by Itans.
But the difficulty of encircling and destroying is more than a step higher than the difficulty of defeating, there are 40,000 people in Itansi's department, these 40,000 people are not 40,000 ducks, and the difficulty of destroying 40,000 people is much higher than the difficulty of destroying 40,000 ducks.
