Chapter 430: Sold

According to France's order, the three Eastern European countries will send a total of 300,000 troops to join the European Union, which is almost half of the total strength of the three Eastern European countries. Among them, the Russian Federation will send 8 infantry divisions and 120,000 troops. The Russian Democratic Republic will send 6 infantry divisions and 90,000 troops. The Kingdom of Russia will send 6 infantry divisions and 90,000 troops. In addition, Poland will also send 6 infantry divisions and 90,000 troops to France stationed in St. Petersburg.

The 3rd Legion and the armies of the Eastern European countries formed an Eastern Front cluster, which led to the 500,000 European Union troops attacking Sweden from the east. This number is not much different from the total strength of the Kalmar Alliance. Of course, according to Xiao Jie's intention, in order to avoid rebellion from the Eastern European countries, 300,000 people from the Eastern European countries would rush to the front during the attack. Once they were found to be abnormal, the 3rd French Army would give the help of the Polish army a lot.

Devastating blows to these betrayers. Although the French 3rd Legion and the Polish army had only more than 200,000 people, which was a full 100,000 fewer than the armies of the Three Eastern European countries. However, the Eastern European countries only formed a short alliance, and there were irreconcilable contradictions between them. Therefore, there would be a huge loophole in their cooperation. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the French 3rd Legion was stronger than that of the armies of these countries.

So, even if the three Eastern European countries rebel, the French team will have the confidence to destroy their 300,000 troops. In addition, if the three Eastern European countries really rebel, the other three French regiments stationed in Eastern Europe, namely the 2nd French regiments, the 4th French regiments, and the 3rd Iberian regiments, will respectively launch fierce attacks on these three countries. The three Eastern European regiments, which have been half of their troops, will obviously not be the opponents of the three full-time French regiments.

In addition to the Eastern Front Cluster, France also concentrated the forces of European countries, a total of 500,000, plus the 89th Army of France, with a total of more than 600,000 people forming the Western Front Cluster. Similarly, the 89th Army will stay behind all the armies. Their key responsibilities will no longer be to attack the army of the Kalmar Alliance, but to monitor the armies of Central and European countries. Originally, according to Xiao Jie and the French General Staff, this war had two purposes. One was naturally to defeat Sweden and the Kalmar Alliance led by it, seize Sweden's high-quality iron ore and pacify Nordic Europe. The other was to take this opportunity to consume the strength of European vassal states. After years of development, all vassal states have achieved great development. From the perspective of military strength alone

Look, these countries already have a huge force of about 1.8 million troops. If these countries unite, it will be a very big threat to France. Faced with the threat, Xiao Jie is always used to nipping him in the cradle. In the wars, the French General Staff estimated that at least one-third of the troops of each vassal state. In this way, the total force of each vassal state will drop to a state that is almost equal to France. However, the combat effectiveness of the French team is obviously much higher than that of them. In addition, there are countries that are not countries that are firm followers of France, such as Poland and other countries. Under such conditions, France has an absolute advantage. As long as the French army does not suffer unbearable damage, Europe will still surrender to France.

"Your Majesty, the order has been issued to all countries. No one opposes our order. Whether it is sincere or not, all countries have begun to gather troops and go to designated locations. However, due to the excessive amount of troops gathered this time, coupled with the preparation of logistics supplies, it may take two to three months to complete the assembly." Ek reported to Xiao Jiehui.

"It's good that no one objected. But if they don't seize the opportunity this time, there may be no such opportunity in the future. As for the time issue, there is no need to worry too much. Now it's a cold winter in the Nordic region. Fighting against the enemy in the snow and ice is not our strength, and it will also bring great pressure to the logistics. Therefore, I think that as long as the war can start in mid-March next year," said Xiao Jie. After this war, the losses of European countries will be very serious, and naturally they will also be too serious.

He lost the opportunity to challenge France. In terms of time, Xiao Jie was not in a hurry. After all, Sweden and the entire Kalmar League only had more than 600,000 troops. Now France has gathered more than 1.1 million troops, almost twice the other side. So Xiao Jie was not worried that he would not be able to win this war. Another reason is that the Atlantic Fleet will not be able to form an army at least in April next year, and there will be a long time before the decisive battle with the United States and Canada. So France does not need to rush to go.

Christmas in 1829 was spent in intense preparations. It was also from next year that France will launch a comprehensive counterattack. First of all, Nordic Europe, next to the British Isles. Finally, it will send troops to the American continent to completely eliminate France's enemies. By that time, France will become the king of the world again. Now, every Frenchman, including Xiao Jie, is silently preparing, waiting for that moment to come.

When the bell rang in 1830, France's preparations began to accelerate. The troops began to assemble to designated locations, and various military logistics supplies were also delivered to the front line through various means of transportation. There were two main places for the French army, one was St. Petersburg, the assembly site of the Eastern Front Cluster. They would set off from here and attack Sweden from the east. The other place was Hamburg, the assembly site of the Western Front Cluster. The Western Front Cluster would go north from here to attack Denmark, a member of the Kalmar Alliance. Then, with the help of the navy, landed in Norway or Sweden.

At the end of January 1830, the French Foreign Ministry re-developed a plan. The content of the plan was very simple. They tried to instigate the two member states of the Kalmar League except Sweden. The benefits of doing so were very obvious. If the plan was successful, Sweden would lose its greatest help. The French army would easily land in Sweden. In that case, it would be not far from the end of the war.

For these reasons, Xiao Jie approved the plan of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked other departments to provide the most powerful assistance to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It can be said that he wanted money to give money and people. Everything was just for the plan to succeed.

Next, the French Foreign Ministry secretly sent special envoys to Denmark and Norway, hoping to successfully convince the two countries to break away from the Kalmar alliance and turn to France, and at the least, they must remain neutral in the war. Of course, there is also force deterrence. If the two countries do not know the way, once the war begins, the two countries will face a devastating blow from regulations.

However, what was unexpected was that the French envoy sent to the two countries was treated completely oppositely. In Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, the French envoy was secretly received by the Danish king and the government prime minister. As soon as they met, the Denmark king and the Prime Minister complained to the French envoy, saying that they were hostile to France, which was completely helpless. They were restricted by the Kalmar League and had no choice but to follow Sweden's footsteps and oppose France. They hoped to ask the French emperor for forgiveness.

The King of Denmark and Prime Minister of the Government are not stupid. The reason why they followed Sweden in the past was entirely because the United States mediated in the middle. Now that the United States has been driven out of the eastern Atlantic Ocean, anyone with discerning eyes can see that France has begun to fight back. Isn’t it seeking death if they still follow Sweden? Besides, Denmark is not as good as the other two countries, with straits separated and some barriers. Denmark is different. Its main territory is on the Jutland Peninsula. Now France has begun to gather troops in Hamburg, and Denmark will definitely face the French attack first. Judging from the information they obtained, France will gather troops from the entire Central and Western Europe region, a total of 6

More than 00,000 people. Denmark has only 200,000 people, and its equipment is not as good as others. Once the war breaks out, how can Denmark resist the French attack? In addition, they also learned that the French army will gather 500,000 troops in St. Petersburg to attack Sweden from the east. It is certain that Sweden, including the entire Kalmar League, cannot withstand the attack of such a huge force of France. If it confronts France, the end of the entire Kalmar League is in sight. In this case, the Denmark's king and government prime minister will certainly not bury their country and people for the Kalmar League. Therefore, it is inevitable to leave the Kalmar League and turn to France.

After some secret negotiations, the Danish Prime Minister and French envoy reached an agreement on behalf of their respective countries. Denmark will officially leave the Kalmar Alliance from now on and remain neutral in the war. At the same time, it will reject Swedish or Norwegian troops into Danish territory and allow the French and their allies to land in Sweden or Norway from Denmark. France will guarantee Denmark that it will not use Denmark as the target of attack on this war, and that after the war, Denmark will become a national and will not be controlled by other countries. In the process of landing in Sweden or Norway from Denmark, the French and its allies will not harm Denmark's interests. Of course, since the war has not begun, France does not want to attract Sweden's attention in advance. Therefore, Denmark is required to make this agreement public after the war begins. Denmark is also seeking it.
