Scandinavia is the largest and northernmost peninsula on the European continent. It starts from the Baltic Sea in the east, is bordered by the Katsot Strait and the Skagerrak Bay in the south, is bordered by the Norwegian Sea in the west, and the Barents Sea in the north.

There are three countries on the peninsula, namely Sweden and the Russian Principality of Finland. Because Finland was occupied by Russia more than a hundred years ago, and now it is just a small principality under Russia. But really because of this, Russia The country's sphere of influence has caused concern in Sweden and Norway. In addition to the two countries, there is also Norway, which only broke away from the Swedish Federation in 1905.

The current King of Sweden is Oscar Gustav Adolf, also known as Gustav V for short. The Crown Prince is also Prince Arthur like Alfonso, Oscar Frederick Wilhelm Olav Gustaf Adolf.

The current king of Norway is Prince Carl, the second son of the former Danish King Frederik VIII of the Glückborg family. Because the Norwegian royal family did not have a suitable male, when Sweden refused to photograph the prince, he He became the first king of Norway in more than 500 years. His crown prince is Olaf, who is only five years old this year. However, he is also related by marriage to Alfonso and other countries, because the wife of Haakon VII is also The queen of the Kingdom of Norway is Princess Maud, the youngest daughter of Edward VII. Therefore, because of the relationship between Patricia and Maud Hall, the two countries can be regarded as relatives. At the same time, we can also see how powerful the British marriage alliance is. Don't forget, the German King is Edward's nephew and the cousin of Patricia and Princess Maude.

The Royal Palace of Norway is still as tightly guarded as usual.

"Your Majesty, I think it is not in line with our position to be too close to Spain. Don't forget, the reason why Sweden has been safe and sound over the years is because they have remained neutral in the face of all European political struggles and wars. Now, we If the European countries in the south are excessively involved, then we may inevitably be drawn into the vortex of war. This is very undesirable for us."

"However, if we don't make contact, don't forget that Russia is right next to our bed. They have always been greedy for our northern territory, if it weren't for the fact that we and Sweden both have close relations with the United Kingdom. If so, the other party might have annexed us long ago. Don’t forget how Finland became a principality under the Russian flag.”

"Didn't His Majesty also say that while Britain is here, Russia will never dare to move?"

"But don't forget that Britain is now an ally with Russia, and Britain is determined to work with France to deal with the German Empire. In this case, our situation will be worrying. After all, , sometimes, it is not uncommon for big countries to sacrifice small countries for the greater good."

“But if we come here like this, will it hurt the British’s view of us?”

"But, if we don't do that, are we really going to leave our fate in your hands, the British?" Don't skip the words.

"this"

"Okay, that will cause dissatisfaction among the British. However, if we can add Spain, the weight of the powerful countries speaking for us on the European continent will immediately be different. I observed Alfonso XIII of Spain For many years, I, after he has decided on anything, he will definitely complete it seriously, especially for the relationship between allies. Just look at how they are fighting with the United States for Ecuador in South America. The other party is definitely A trustworthy person, in this case, as long as we show a little sincerity, then the benefits we obtain will definitely be different from what we have now.

At least, we don’t have to wait all day long for orders from the British like we do now. Although I am a prince of Denmark and became the king of Norway, in my heart, I have already melted into a native of Norway. As a human being, I will sacrifice my life for the sake of a better and safer life for the people of Norway. Rubin, I hope you can continue to help me wholeheartedly, I need your help." Rubin is now the Prime Minister of Norway. As a newcomer, Haakon VII needs the other party's support very much, especially when it comes to territorial issues. This is especially true at times.

"But, does your Majesty think Spain can really be trusted?" Don't skip the words. Rubin did not answer directly, but asked again. In fact, it has no objection to Spain. On the contrary, it holds a lot of attention. Although the relationship between Norway and Sweden is very harmonious, after all, Norway was separated from Sweden, so it cannot be regarded as a split. Too much, the peaceful ending between the two countries even made all European countries breathe a sigh of relief.

However, since it came out like that, there is absolutely no one who can say that there is no estrangement in the heart, especially now that the world is strong, Sweden, as a former great country, has lost its strength because of Norway's departure. The status of players dealing with powerful countries has been greatly reduced. This is all caused by Norway. If you have no objections, do you all? When it comes to judging others by oneself, he is definitely not as generous as the Swedish royal family. Therefore, he actually agrees with Haakon VII's views, but he still has doubts about the role of Britain in it. , of course, the reason why His Majesty asked him was not to seek his approval, but to get one more supporter to implement this matter quickly. Although the other party was Prince Karl three years ago, Now he has truly taken control of the real power of the king of Norway. Although he, the prime minister, has great power and represents the interests of many people, he still has to lower his head when facing the king. Of course, the reason why he is so powerful The reason for his rights is that he actually has another identity, that is, he is a collateral member of the Norwegian royal family.

What Haakon VII thought was what Rubin thought. It was very important for a king to gain more political recognition, especially in terms of reputation. As an outsider, Karl paid special attention to this.

Royal Palace of Sweden, Crown Prince*.

Frederick touched the blue and white porcelain in his hand, with a little excitement on his face. This was sent by his father-in-law, Prince Arthur, and it was said that the British got it from China. Thinking of his mother-in-law, he couldn't be grateful. After all, his only hobby is to love Chinese ceramics. As the largest colony in the world, Britain's strength is extremely huge, especially in the Far East, and it has naturally gained more good things. And this time it is believed that this It was also the latest gift from King Edward VII to his father-in-law, Prince Arthur, but his mother-in-law, who was familiar with the hobby, sent this ceramic.

In his study, there are ceramics everywhere, and many of them are very old. In addition to this, he also appreciates Chinese culture very much. Unfortunately, he has never been to China until now. Whenever he has the opportunity, he always wants to go and see if there is anything as attractive as blue and white porcelain there.

"Ahem, you're still looking at this thing."

When Frederick looked up, he saw his father, King Gustaf V of Sweden, approaching him.

"Well, let's take a look when you have time." His father was a little dissatisfied with this hobby that Frederick also liked, but there was nothing he could do about it. It's hard to change a person's preference. Especially from this point of view, compared to those cigars or opium and pills, there is nothing wrong with liking this.

Gustavus V did not want to insist on this issue. After all, he was young and some forced changes would not work, so he directly stated his intention.

"You are saying that Norway is negotiating to hand over the Sparva Islands to Spain? Father, it is doubtful whether this news is accurate."

Gustav V shook his head. He originally wanted to pour a glass of water, but he forgot that what he liked to drink was tea, so what he poured out was tea. Although he didn't like it very much, he took a sip when he was thirsty. After drinking this, the tea that looked a little distressed in Frederick's eyes was just drank by the cow.

Gustav V frowned and choked. After saying that he would never drink tea again, the words were accurate. Yours. Our information sources in Norway have always been very good. Of course, if we do If not, I think they have been laid off by now.”

Yes, Frederick was right to think about it, but he was still puzzled, why would Norway suddenly have this idea? After all, it seems that officials from Spain rarely appear in Scandinavia.

Gustav V looked a little troubled and puzzled. It was said that when Haakon VII's envoy visited Spain last year, he had contacts with Spain at various levels, and finally talked with the Spanish Foreign Minister. At that time, the other party showed its intention to support the Spanish citizens to invest in Scandinavia, but there was no place to protect Spanish citizens where warships could dock. Otherwise, perhaps the Spanish government would strongly support its citizens to invest in Norway. countries within the country”

"You are saying that the other party is hinting that they want a Norwegian port so that Spanish influence can extend to Northern Europe. In this way, I think based on the national sentiment of Norway, they will never accept Spain stationing troops in their country, because Norway The ** incident doomed their hostility towards foreign forces. In this case, it is easy to understand why the Sbarva Islands should be given to the other party."

Gustavus V smiled endlessly.

ps: First update, please recommend. Also, the Crown Prince of Sweden, Gustaf VI, is indeed a fan of Chinese culture. This book is not deliberately exaggerating!
