The Rise of Iceland

　　　　 On March 2, 1636, Melkel, Duchess of Pomerania, died at the age of 17.

　　 Olaf has finished handling his wife’s funeral on March 10th. At this time, the weather in Europe is getting warmer, and reports from all over the country are being delivered to Szczecin.

The Protestant coalition and the Catholic coalition have already made tentative attacks, and British reinforcements have also arrived in Bremen. Because the worst situation on the German battlefield is on the Western Front, the British are preparing to support France from the Principality of Upper Lorraine. Charles I also sent a lot of guns, ammunition and food to Uksenschena as support.

　　 Olaf no longer cares about the situation in the German region at this time. Britain can affect the victory or defeat of Libra as long as it joins in, and Poland is now sharpening its sword and preparing to attack Kiev.

Olaf was prepared to take advantage of Poland’s attack on Kiev and join Tsarist Russia to clean up Poland. Therefore, after finding Uxen Siena, he and the First Minister of Responsibilities gave Morozov the first Prime Minister after the death of the Emperor and Patriarch of Tsarist Russia. And Duke Dolgoluki each wrote a letter.

Uksenchener and Morozov are equal in status, and they are exactly equal. Olaf is the godfather of the Great Emperor, and he is the same as the father-in-law of the puppet Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich Romanov. Therefore, the two of them wrote to Morozov and Dolgoluki one-on-one, which was the most respectful meaning.

Tsar Romanov had a weak temperament, and his government had always been dominated by the Russian nobles. Later, his father, Patriarch Filaret, returned to China from Poland and quickly took control of the court. In fact, they are also quite capable reformers.

　　 But after the death of the Patriarch Filaret three years ago, the Tsarist nobles came back and took control of the court. Morozov and Dolgoluki are currently the two biggest figures in control of the Tsarist court.

　　 If Sweden wants to persuade Russia to send troops to Poland, it must communicate with them.

　　 Olaf feels that Tsarist Russia has always wanted to recapture the land and ports occupied by Poland and Sweden. At present, Sweden is in full swing, and Tsarist Russia has no navy, so naturally he dare not.

　　 Stroke the tiger's whiskers in Sweden, but with Sweden taking the lead, the two families will clean up Poland together. Tsarist Russia will be very happy.

Beginning in 1632, after the death of Gustav II’s cousin Sigmund III, Tsarist Russia took advantage of the first death of the king to attack Poland and tried to regain the territory, but Sigmund III’s son Wadi Swa After his succession to the throne, the husband IV was quite talented, and he led his subjects to repel Tsarist Russia.

　　 Tsarist Russia naturally still wants to attack Poland, but its national strength does not allow it. Now Sweden takes the lead in letting them play support. Morozov and Dolgoluki will definitely trust and agree.

Things did not surprise Olaf. Ten days later, Olaf and Uksenshina received a joint letter from Morozov and Dolgoluki. In the letter, they agreed to cooperate and said that they would cooperate in April. Organize a large army to coordinate the occupation of the Cossack Rebels in Kiev.

Olaf sneered: "The Russians are a good formula. They support the Cossacks. When the time comes, Poland will not be able to quell the rebellion. After the Cossacks rule the country becomes independent, relying on the assimilation power of the Orthodox Church and the language nation, they will be able to transform the Cossacks. It became a subject of Tsarist Russia and even slowly eaten it."

　　 Uksenshina smiled and said, "But what does that have to do with us? It's nothing more than the growing hatred with Poland."

Olaf nodded and said, "Yes. Prime Minister, the German battlefield is more important than the Polish battlefield. I don’t ask you if you want soldiers, but you have to provide enough food and weapons. I will form an army in Pomerania to fight Poland. This time, I must strike a fifty-year peace for the eastern part of the Swedish Empire!"

　　 Olaf’s words were quite contagious, and Uksenshina also smiled and said: "Okay. I will tell you more about military supplies as much as you pull out."

After agreeing on some more details, Olaf quickly left, and when he returned to the Ducal Fort, he sent people to various towns to pass the military recruitment order. Although the males of the Pomeranian Principality were recruited three times, Olaf Recruitment targets have been issued to localities, and there are rewards for exempting agricultural taxes for three years after reaching the targets.

　　 Since Olaf also gave tax-free rewards, the people's resistance is not strong, and it is not impossible to go to war for the good days in the future.

　　 So men from 15 to 60 years old are vying to sign up, and they can recruit 10,000 troops in about ten days.

Olaf sent Similson and Odin out to take over the recruits from various places, and then he personally gave the two thousand gendarmerie soldiers to command the recruits after training outside the city. The armaments of two thousand people, in addition to food, 5000 sets of half-length iron armor, 2000 sets of chain mail, 5000 sets of leather armor, 6000 spears, 4000 muskets, 5000 matchlocks, and more than 1000 gunpowder lead. bucket.

　　 Sweden has high-quality iron ore, and Icelandic merchants have been supplying Sweden with sulphur powder, so Sweden has never lacked arms and weapons, but horses are very scarce, so Olaf’s army cannot help even a horse.

Olaf’s 2,000 Gendarmerie regiment already had horses. Out of 10,000 Pomeranian soldiers, there were only more than 2,000 horsemen, and they could not be used as cavalry without training. So he planned to build a 10,000-person army. The musketeers corps, when the flintlocks are centered and fired continuously, the arquebuses flanks on both sides to assist the shooting, and the arquebuses also wear spears, so that after a shot, it becomes a spearman arch guarding phalanx.

After a week of simple training, Olaf left Szczecin with a regiment of 12,000 men and went to Memelburg. At the same time, he gave an order to Jesnylenin, who was stationed in Tallinn, before leaving. Leading the army all the way south from Estonia, the two sides met in Greenwood Town.

　　 After half a year, the corpse of Latvia has already sunk into the bottom of the lake and turned into bones. The plague and virus have been purified by nature because of the time.

　　 In this Polish civil war, although the Swedish forces on the east coast of the Baltic Sea are small, they still cannot retreat.

　　Olav Army arrived at Fort Memmel and asked Raul to summon all the troops of East Prussia ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to garrison in Greenwood Town.

Two days later, Jesnylenin led an army of 8,000 to Greenwood Town. At this time Olaf first had 6,000 Finnish cavalry and 3,000 infantry, 2,000 Prussian cavalry, 7,000 Prussian infantry, and 12 thousand Baumes. The Rania Militia Corps has a total of 30,000 people.

　　Thirty thousand military strength may be barely useful for national warfare, but more than half of the entire army is at the level of militia, so the actual combat effectiveness is not optimistic.

If Olaf leads a large army and the same number of Polish troops in a field battle, it is almost impossible to lose, but the Polish commander is leading the army to attack Kiev, and the Russian serf army will also participate in the war at any time. At this point, Olaf is in his hands. The army of 30,000 people is very heavy.

After reorganizing the army in Greenwood Town, Olaf divided the army into a front army and a rear army. The front army was a ten-thousand corps composed of Finnish infantry and Prussian infantry. For the Pomeranian Legion with 2,000 people, since the officers were all soldiers of the gendarmerie, the marching formation looked like the regular army.

On both sides of the front and rear army are eight thousand cavalry, handed over to the commander of Raul, including the scattered scouts, are handed over to Raul to manage. , Viking Legion, these well-received elite legions are almost the same.
