"Gustav II should not dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Eastern European plains. Otherwise, you only need to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. His firearms and weapons will collapse due to lack of supplies. The price of black gunpowder is quite expensive."

Chu Tian thought about it and spent a lot of money to help Xia Tianliang form the Shenji Camp.

However, Shenji Camp has made many military achievements and is worth the money.

"This is exactly what I worry about. Gustav II wanted to become the overlord of the north, suppress my grand priest, suppress Poland and Lithuania, and his ambitions matched his talents. But with the financial resources and population of the Nordic countries, they could not satisfy their ambitions, nor could they help him form a strong enough force, so he would fight for money and territory."

Katerina saw Gustav II's weakness. The Nordic countries in "Lord" only have a population of 10 million, which could not support Gustav II's ambitions.

With a population of 10 million, the maximum number of troops used is only 200,000 or 300,000. If it is more than enough, it will be overloaded and all the national strength will be spent.

"You mean, Attila would use Gustav II as a pioneer?"

"Why is this possibility? St. Petersburg is on the Baltic Sea coast. If St. Petersburg is captured, Gustav will also obtain a batch of gold, silver and population."

Catherine's tone was heavy.

The envoy of Attila, Breda, the capital of the Swedish kingdom, met with Gustav II.

Bleda said respectfully: "Great Majesty Gustav, your prestige is spread throughout the Baltic Sea, and your name makes the Viking kings frightened. Our Majesty Attila wants to make a good deal with you."

Gustav sat on the throne and condescends: "Attila is the enemy of the whole of Europe, why should I cooperate with it? I attacked the Grand Duchy of Moscow before, but because I saw the fighter jets, I occupied several cities and gained hundreds of thousands of people. However, now the Xia King of the Han Empire has intervened in the battlefield, and I am unwilling to offend the East and bring the entire Nordic Europe into the endless abyss of war."

Bleda shook his head: "This is a bad word. Our Majesty Attila knows your talents, which are unparalleled in Northern Europe, and even in the entire West, there are few people who can compare with it. His Majesty Attila is willing to use millions of gold and the territory of the Baltic Sea as a price to exchange for His Majesty's troops."

“The territory around the Baltic Sea?!”

Gustav couldn't help but be moved.

Northern Europe is high and has a small population. If these lands are obtained, its population can exceed 20 million, while the population of the Poland and Lithuanian Commonwealth will exceed 10 million.

Breda continued to lobby Gustav to join the war: "Not only that, His Majesty Attila is willing to divide the population of tens of millions of Moscow's Grand Duchy. The population of the Grand Duchy of Moscow is the real wealth. A city in St. Petersburg has a population of millions."

"St. Petersburg..."

Gustav couldn't help but think.

The Grand Principal of Moscow has the largest population of Eastern European civilization. Whoever can annex the Grand Principal of Moscow can become a European gendarmerie.

The Golden Horde divided part of the territory and population of the Grand Principal of Moscow, but the main population of the Grand Principal of Moscow was concentrated near Moscow and St. Petersburg.

This is why the Golden Horde wanted to occupy Moscow, and the Swedish kingdom wanted to occupy St. Petersburg, but it was for the population.

"I will think carefully about the deal you proposed."

Gustav received Attila's list.

After Bleda left, Gustav II stared at the list.

He had already given up the idea of ​​continuing to attack the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but Attila gave too much. If this operation was successful, the Swedish kingdom, which had dominated Northern Europe, would at least double its population and turn the Baltic Sea into its own inland sea.

"Want, or not? If you fight, you must ask Attila for more population and change to mercenaries."

Gustav was hesitant, Attila's temptation, and the threat from the Grand Duchy of Moscow made Gustav II hesitate.

"His Majesty the King, the Grand Duchy of Moscow has issued a war mobilization order, and hundreds of thousands of troops are expected to gather in Moscow and St. Petersburg!"

Gustav learned that Ekaterina was brewing revenge.

"War, war..."

Queen Christina, who was playing in the palace, heard her father Gustav talking to herself.

In the Volga River Basin, the Golden Horde ruled the 10 million people of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. At Temujin's request, Shuchi and Badu sent cavalry to various tribes to gather troops. This time, one out of ten!

Even for a nomadic civilization, it is quite an exaggeration to draw one in ten points. These troops were not civilians who transported grain, but were transferred to professional cavalry by Temujin, which was equivalent to the whole people being soldiers and intending to march towards Moscow again.

If failure occurs, the Golden Horde will be self-defeating and collapse on its own, because no civilization can bear such a huge population loss.

Temujin has been driven crazy by Chu Tian.

"It's really crazy. If this continues, the Golden Horde will not be far from destruction."

When Shu Chi saw a team of herdsmen from nomadic tribes and some barbarian tribe warriors joining the army, Temujin spent all the national strength of the Golden Horde in one go. The consequences can be imagined.

After winning, the Golden Horde turned the Grand Duchy of Moscow into a vassal state, and the population doubled. If it lost, the Golden Horde lost most of the young and strong population and had no power to fight.

Temujin is taking the Golden Horde as a bet.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Golden Horde exploded soldiers wildly, and the Hun Empire was also increasing its troops. The troops in the Western continent were rapidly increasing, and the total strength was larger than that in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

War determines the demand.

"Why does it seem like the war here is getting bigger and bigger with my arrival?"

Chu Tian stayed in Moscow City and found that the number of reinforcements coming from all over the country rose from 100,000 to 200,000 and 300,000.

It has to be said that the war mobilization order of the Russians was extremely terrifying, and Temujin kicked another iron plate.

Xiao Chuo followed Chu Tian and inspected the army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow outside the city. Chu Tian didn't believe such a large army, saying that it was a principality.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are already the size of the empire.

The population of the Persian Empire was not as large as that of the Principality of Catherine.

"Your Highness King Xia, our troops seem to have no effect in the face of so many large armies."

Xiao Chuo's tone was a little weak.

The last time she and Mulan and Sophia said goodbye, there was a storm.

The next day, Xiao Chuo got up and had a headache. He slept with Mulan and asked Chu Tian to take care of him, which greatly improved Xiao Chuo's impression of Chu Tian.

Chu Tian found that Xiao Chuo's loyalty and favorability had increased, and he had changed from a poor 60 to 70.

Xiao Chuo vowed that he would never drink the vodka recommended by Sophia again, it was not tea at all, it was simply deadly.

"Elite cavalry has the function of elite cavalry."

Chu Tian did not bring much troops, but his combat power was far beyond ordinary troops.

A team of Cossack cavalry passed by and saw Chu Tian with his guard and the appearance of an oriental. He probably knew Chu Tian’s identity. After dismounting, he saluted Chu Tian respectfully: “At Lower Yermak, come to surrender to the Grand Duke of Moscow. You must be the king from the East.”

"Yelmak? I guess you live near the Don River and you will also rob the merchants who come and go."

Chu Tian looked at the bearded Cossack leader in front of him and recognized him as a legendary hero.

This guy, with hundreds of Cossack cavalry, conquered Siberia for the Tsar and expanded the territory of Tsarist Russia several times.

Yermak is still a Cossack horse thief now.

"I didn't expect you to know the villain!"
