"This woman is crazy!"

After leaving the palace, Churchill commented on the Swedish queen that he learned the word "wife" during the Ming Dynasty.

Compared to Carl XII, Urrika Elinora is more like a crazy woman, and she is still the kind of person who has already put her property on the gambling table and is almost losing.

She couldn't understand the situation at all, and she didn't understand that Sweden is now no longer the Sweden as it was. After several wars with Russia failed, Sweden had lost its strength to compete with Russia, and its land area was reduced by nearly one-third.

If Urrika Elinora is a qualified queen, then the first thing to do now is to keep a low profile, secretly accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to take action when the right time is the best time. In this way, Sweden may return to its original glory.

But how is this crazy woman Urrika Elinora, who wants to fight against Russia and even join forces with Britain to regain everything Sweden has lost. How is this possible?

Not to mention whether Britain would help Sweden unconditionally, even if the alliance navy and Sweden and the current infantry of Sweden can defeat Peter I's naval and land army? In Churchill's view, this possibility is almost slim. Unless Peter I suddenly dies and there is chaos in Russia, then it may be a little possible.

Of course, whether it was Ulrica, Elinora or Churchill, they would not know that Peter I, who was strong and vigorous, would indeed die suddenly a few years later, and the reason for his death was relatively gone, because Peter I saw a stranded boat while walking, and several sailors on the boat struggled to fall into the water. In order to save people, Peter I jumped into the sea and tried his best to save the sailors. However, because the weather was cold and the water went into the water to save people, Peter I suffered from a cold and died in the end.

Calculate the time, it should be less than five years, and the Russian Empire weakened for a period of time after the death of Peter I. Of course, this weakness was only relative. The Russian Empire was still a big country at that time, but Peter I, who lost as a spiritual power and representative figure, was not unexpectedly hit.

If Ulrica Elinora could be a little patient and have more political wisdom, then she could have waited until then to take revenge. Unfortunately, Ulrica Elinora is not God, and Churchill is not, so how could they know that such a change would be possible.

But for Churchill, today's meeting with Ulrika Elinora disappointed him. Such a crazy woman as a queen is not a good thing for Sweden. No wonder there are so many people in Sweden who oppose her, even the queen's husband.

However, this result did not come to nothing for Churchill. He had already made several plans before coming. Since he was sure that Sweden was the one who could not be helped, Churchill would adopt another plan, and his goal was to confront Russia with Sweden.

In the next few days, Churchill finally persuaded Ulrica Elinora, with his perfect tongue, to tentatively contact Russia with the British side, Churchill himself, while considering the peace in Nordic, and thus try his best to reconcile the conflicts between the two countries.

After receiving Urrika Elinora's final agreement, Churchillma rushed from Stockholm to St. Petersburg, the capital of Russia, and met the Russian Tsar Peter I, known as the Great Emperor.

Facing Peter I, Churchill's feelings were completely different from those of Ulrika Elinora, and even King George II of the British. Although Europeans looked down on Russia and believed that Russia was a countryside, the Russian nobles were all rural areas. Even as the Tsar, Peter I was at best the leader of the countryside. Churchill, who was born as a senior British aristocrat, had innate arrogance in this regard.

But when he met Peter I, Churchill found that this monarch was different from many he had met. He was a king with a broad vision, approachable, full of wisdom and courage, and extremely confident. From this point of view, Churchill thought of a person, and this person was Zhu Yicheng, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

That's right, this is how Churchill felt about Peter I. Although one was Westerner and the other was Easterner, Peter I was much older than Zhu Yicheng, and they received different educations and environments, it was strange that Churchill felt the same kind of breath in them.

Perhaps, this is the breath of the British Lord. Churchill didn't say this, but he had to admit it in his heart. No wonder Peter I could turn a backward country that was regarded as a barbaric by Europe into such a powerful country. If Churchill was not a British but a Russian, then he would definitely follow such a king and devote everything to his ideals.

Compared to Churchill's treatment in Stockholm, his treatment in St. Petersburg is not bad at all, and he is even a little better.

On the day of his arrival, Peter I personally welcomed him and invited him to the palace.

That night, Peter I held a grand banquet for Churchill's arrival and warmly received it. The next day, Peter I invited Churchill to hunt, and the group played in the suburbs with their hunting dogs and muskets for a whole day.

Peter I also handled the prey with his own hands and made barbecue for Churchill and his guards. He chatted and laughed with his friends, ate meat in big mouthfuls and drank wine in big bowls, thus further narrowing the distance between them.

In the evening of that day, it started to snow heavily and it was temporarily unable to return to the city.

However, this did not endure Peter I. Peter I led the way to find several small wooden houses located in the hunting ground. This is a place for hunters and travelers. The group can rest temporarily here until the heavy snow stops before returning to the city.

Due to conditions, Peter I and Churchill lived in one of the wooden houses, and the other guards lived in two other wooden houses respectively.

I got some firewood, went into the house to light it, and then burned water. After a while, the wooden house gradually became warmer.

"Take a sip, it will be a little cold at night." After putting two pieces of wood, Peter I clapped his hands, took out a silver pot from his arms and handed it to Churchill beside him.

Churchill took it, unscrewed the lid and took a sip. A sudden sensation made him cough a few times.

"Hahaha, this wine doesn't taste very good, but it's the most appropriate to drive away the cold. If you get used to it, you will fall in love with it." Peter I laughed.

Churchill endured the discomfort and took another sip. As Peter I said, although the wine tasted too strong and the taste was not very good, the effect of expelling the cold was indeed good. In addition, the temperature gradually rising in the house made people feel much more comfortable.

"Good wine, thank you, your majesty."
