The Swedes are more honest than expected. They said they would go back to discuss things and they actually went back to discuss things. The next day, they gave us new conditions based on our conditions.

There is no problem with the other items. Even if the Swedes spit out the Prussian treasury that they have eaten, they cannot do it. Moreover, according to Karl XII’s wishes, Sweden cannot hand over the Otto party who have taken refuge in Sweden.

According to Swedish diplomats, the king developed feelings for the Prussian who had taken refuge.

The moment I heard this for the first time, I was dumbfounded and sweat broke out on my back. My first thought was, Damn, I really didn’t realize that Karl Twelve turned out to be a gay young boss!

But, the next second, my thought became, this is ridiculous, is Karl Twelve attacking or receiving?

I made a vague inquiry on the spot, but I was very disappointed. It turned out that Carl Twelve did not have a gay relationship, and it was my fault. The relationship between him and Otto was one of sympathy and sympathy, even though Carl Twelve did not agree with it at all.

That was Otto's old idea, but Karl XII didn't want Otto to be kidnapped and sent back to Prussia, where he would then be tortured.

I pulled food from Königsberg twice in a row and transported it to the siege. After several days, the Swedes refused to give in on these two aspects, and my peace talks were likely to break down at any time. But at this time, I

We have more or less control over the situation and have made arrangements across the border.

We had someone to monitor the Swedes to prevent them from paralyzing us. We crossed the river at night, and Königsberg was controlled by Schwerin with two infantry regiments. If the Swedes in Lithuania in the north really wanted to go south, we could annihilate Karl XII first and then

With the help of city defense, they fought to the death with the Swedes in Lithuania.

The stalemate changed when Philetria showed up with the Russians.

The Swedes were anxious. They immediately put their entire army on alert and sent someone to call me out for talks.

Karl XII became angry on the spot and accused me of being mean, saying that I shamelessly deceived them and used negotiations to block them in East Prussia so that they could join forces with the Russians to annihilate him. But he misunderstood what I meant. First of all, I didn't

If I want to play with my hobby of having sex with women, I would like to call the Russians here to wipe out the Swedes. Of course, the premise is that my conditions are met.

Regarding the Swedes' refusal to give in to the return of the Prussian treasury, I gave another option.

Since I can't come up with money, I can always come up with something so that I can give an explanation when I go back and tell the Prussian nobles that, as a Roman, I have not betrayed their interests, and that ceding West Prussia is the choice I gave.

"impossible!"

"It doesn't matter. I think the noble members of Parliament within your kingdom will be happy to discuss it with us in detail."

As the king of Sweden, Karl XII has been at the mercy of the domestic aristocratic forces in the past few years since he came to the throne. If he hadn't shown great power in Lithuania, the Russian army would have been everywhere.

Now he is still idle in Sweden. Although he barely ended the Polish King's War and dealt a big blow to the power of the parliamentary aristocracy, it is undeniable that the power of the Swedish aristocracy is very powerful, even the powerful Karl.

There are twelve things that must be considered.

The Swedish royal family has many strong men, almost as good as Rome. However, these strong men also had the same problems as Rome. They fought too fiercely and died too early. The time left for their sons to take over the empire was too short. Then, the result was that the Swedish nobles took advantage of the new situation.

Wang is young, easy to bully, and constantly seeks power.

The Kingdom of Sweden fell into such an endless cycle due to various geographical and historical reasons. Wars were frequent. A wise and mighty King of War appeared. When the king was on the throne, everything was fine, and the power of the nobility was suppressed. The power of the nobility shrank until the old king was on the battlefield.

If it dies, it will expand rapidly. If the new king wants to suppress the nobles, he has to go to the battlefield, and fighting on the battlefield means a high casualty rate. Once he dies, the aristocratic power will rise again... Anyway, one day,

This cycle will end, but not now.

Now, Karl XII is besieged by us in East Prussia. Some time ago, he made big moves against the nobles in the Congress. If the Swedish nobles in the country know the news that he can't go back, wouldn't it be a good thing for the Swedish Congress to make a fortune?

opportunity?

After returning from the meeting, I walked into the main tent and saw Filetria sitting inside, restless but hesitant to speak.

He handed the cloak to Leon and waved him to lead the people out to guard the outside.

I waited for Philetria to speak first, but unexpectedly we just stared at each other in the tent for a long time.

After coughing, I sat down next to Feletelia and lit the brazier to warm up the fire.

"You have something to say?"

"Yes, I just don't know where to start."

"About me?"

"Um."

"Some ministers think that if this continues, Prussia will sooner or later become a puppet of the Romans. Some people say that you are a Roman and you only care about the interests of your Romans and don't think about the needs of our Prussians at all."

"Why?"

"You surrounded the Swedes and did not continue to attack. Instead, you negotiated with the Swedes. They said that only by destroying the Swedes can our Prussian enemies be eliminated once and for all."

Feletelia looked at the burning flames of the brazier and sipped her lips, thoughtfully.

I have already expected these things. What other people think of me is not important. The key is Feletelia: "Those other people's opinions, what are your thoughts?"

"I believe you. I believe the choice you make now is a favorable choice for Prussia... Moreover, the war with the King of Sweden is very dangerous?"

"I know that fighting against the King of Sweden is very dangerous. Even the two Romans who are very close to you were injured and sent back to Berlin. If the battlefield had not reached a very critical moment, they would not have rushed forward with all their lives.

.Even you almost died on the battlefield.

After asking a question that didn't make sense, Philetria gave her own answer.

"Many people tremble when they hear the name of King Carl of Sweden. If they didn't have the honor of the nobility to support them, I'm afraid they would be frightened and flee like farmers who just walked out of their homes. Therefore, you want to stop the war.

I can understand the idea, although I..."

"I hate that villain so much that I want to hang him with my own hands! But I won't force you to continue fighting for Prussia, because that is my hatred. A hatred that I will repay to Karl XII twice in the future!"

Is this dancing Philetria going to evolve into the goddess of revenge in the future? I smiled, pulled down her three-cornered hat, and blocked her sight.

The girl was obviously very annoyed that I interrupted her obscenity about destroying the Swedes and Karl XII, and asked angrily: "What are you doing?"

"You are not stupid, how can you act emotionally, and then look at the brazier with deep eyes like this, and finally make an expression like, you lied to me, you are a bad guy. Do I believe what you say?"

"Isn't it possible?" Feletelia stared.

I yelled: "It's your right to have random thoughts, but I need to remind you that you will be the king in the future! With so many facts in front of you, why don't you think for yourself and find out the truth?

"

"I was engaged in bank fund-raising, and I was engaged in selling grain. Later, I even took out my fiancée's millions of property and threw it into Prussia. Please, you also know my life in Constantinople, several times

Millions, that can't be obtained casually! As for letting Prussia be a puppet... As an outsider, if I didn't have your support and acquiescence, how could I have a place in Berlin?"

I rattled off a few pieces of evidence, and used what I had said to convince Schwerin and the Prince of Dessau a few days ago in front of Feletelia.

"The local governor, Count Sigismund, has indeed been a bit domineering recently. But he is not bold enough to let the Swedes come over?" Feletelia still felt that the scumbags in East Prussia actually wanted the Prussian royal family.

.

I asked sharply: "What if letting the Swedes on the north bank cross the river can drive us out of East Prussia in one fell swoop and allow them to regain control of East Prussia? Don't kid yourself, who of those two guys can conquer them once they hear it?

Those who sent troops to West Prussia to seize territory when West Prussia could control the entire West Prussian fiefdom!"

"Okay. I admit that your concern is right." Feletelia clenched his fists with firm eyes, "I want to learn more from you, not just about finances, I also want to learn how to march and fight.

, so that I can take revenge on Karl XII!"

I myself am a dabbler: "I can teach you from the very basics. I mean, first of all, truly mastering the two aspects of command and control generally requires training in war, and the other half depends on talent."

In fact, half of Philetria's premonitions were right. The reason why I put Karl XII in this situation is because I didn't want to fight anymore. The battle with Karl XII in the offensive and defensive battle of Lake Torgero only lasted half a day, and I was able to turn the tide.

The 33rd Spartan Legion suffered nearly a thousand casualties again. If the fight continues, more than half of the 33rd Spartan Legion will be killed! In addition, I am destined not to stay in Prussia for long. If

I wasted all my time on fighting. When the war was finally over, Prussia was probably done. By the way, I had to go back to Rome. Also, I threw so much money, and encouraged Wen Dier to throw money in too.

Prussia was not meant to be burned by the war machine. The sooner the war ends, the sooner I can rebuild Prussia. Correspondingly, the funds that have been concentrated can be used where they really should be used.

.

So in order to end the war as soon as possible, regardless of whether Karl XII comes to attack or not, I will go to attack the former Pomerania, and on the other hand, let the East Prussians attack West Prussia

Capturing West Prussia and the former Pomerania will not only make those guys in East Prussia turn against themselves, but also serve as a bargaining chip in future negotiations with Sweden. Why not?

We firmly believe that Karl XII will be able to come over when the Baltic Sea is frozen, and the situation will probably develop to the point where it is now. As long as Karl XII is defeated and the cities in Pomerania cannot be defended for a long time, he will definitely head towards West Prussia

Break out of the encirclement. There are not many Swedish troops stationed in West Prussia. There are more than 20,000 East Prussians wreaking havoc there. The city defense has already been messed up by the Prussian army in East Prussia. At that time, we only need to continue to pursue

We can quickly intercept it by the river behind Königsberg. If Karl XII comes but we fail to defeat him, the army will retreat to Berlin and recruit troops on the spot. Anyway, we have already carried out similar work before, which is very important.

Knowing which family had the most young men, if necessary, they could spend a lot of money to use the East Prussian army in West Prussia to the west to intimidate Karl XII and force him to leave the Berlin area. Fortunately, such a thing did not happen.

Of course, the fact that Karl XII did not come is also within the scope of consideration, as I said before. Occupy two places, raise troops at home, and continue to create pressure through the Netherlands before the Baltic Sea thaws. When the war begins,

No matter where Karl XII comes from

After landing, we will use our main force to fight them decisively. If we are lucky, the Swedes will send people to attack East Prussia and weaken East Prussia. If we win, we will use one of the two places to exchange for peace. If we lose, we will retreat to Berlin.

, it depends on the situation.

But in general, although the 33rd Spartan Legion suffered a bit more casualties, we still achieved the best results.

On March 25, 1720, on the banks of the Königsberg River in East Prussia, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Sweden formally signed the Treaty of Königsberg.

In the name of God, the Kingdom of Sweden renounces its support for Otto's party. It recognizes that the blood of the Hohenzollern family is sacred and inviolable to the rule of the Kingdom of Prussia. It recognizes the government headed by the Prince of Prussia as the political power of the Kingdom of Prussia. It will expel Otto and others in the near future.

his partisans in the Kingdom of Sweden, and sent back the King and Queen of Prussia who were temporarily residing in the Kingdom of Sweden. In addition, according to the treaty,

The two countries had an armistice for 2 years. On the day when the treaty was signed and came into effect, the Swedish army surrounded in Königsberg obtained military passage rights to the Lithuanian region or Mecklenburg. This military passage rights would become invalid immediately after leaving the Prussian border.

When the King of Prussia and his wife return safely to the Kingdom of Prussia, the Swedish prisoners held in the Kingdom of Prussia will be released.

This is all the Treaty of Königsberg, but on the day the treaty came into effect, a new treaty appeared, the Treaty of Transfer of the German Territory.

The Kingdom of Prussia purchased the territory of the Kingdom of Sweden, West Prussia and former Pomerania, for 12 million thalers and paid 10 million thalers. From the day the treaty is signed, West Prussia and former Pomerania will become the Kingdom of Prussia.
