The name Chris naturally reminds Chechen of his short and unusual experience in Mia jersk and the beautiful and honest lady.
Because Chechen fell into memories, the scene couldn''t help being a little cold. However, Douglas was obviously a generous man. He didn''t feel that it was a neglect of himself because of Cherchen''s silence. Instead, he waited there and observed Cherchen.
After a while, Chechen reflected that there was another guest in front of him.
"Chris. No, how''s Queen Christina?" Chechen asked.
"Her Majesty is very good. She first returned to devonsk, and then the war between us and the Republic of Poland broke out. Her Majesty was worried about the king''s safety and went to olshtenburg. There, the two supreme masters went to Warsaw together. In fact, no one expected that the war would progress so fast. We expected that it would take at least half a year to occupy the country. Oh By the way, her majesty said, she still wants you to call her Chris, "Douglas said.
Hearing General Douglas say that Christina wants to think of her as Chris, Cherchen has no reason to warm up.
"What about boguslav, Chris? Did King Carl x teach this guy a lesson?"
Before Chechen left Werner, boguslav, the bastard who flirted with Chris, was still Werner''s guest. He hovered between yanush and sapega, doing the wishful thinking of the centrists.
Chechen thought that after Chris returned to Sweden, she and her cousin King Carl x would not let boguslav go.
But Douglas''s answer was unexpected.
"Prince boguslav went to Warsaw to make amends to Christina, and his majesty forgives him. Of course, the obvious reason is to visit his uncle, Frederick William, the elector. We don''t want such a scandal to be known all over the world. After all, it is related to the Queen''s reputation."
Chechen was stunned, and boguslav''s crime was put down so gently?
"How could this happen? Shouldn''t the king be on Chris''s side? And he''s still Chris''s..." Chechen murmured in a low voice.
Although Cherchen''s voice was light, Douglas standing in front of Cherchen still heard it clearly.
"You misunderstood your majesty. Christina meant to forgive boguslav," Douglas clarified.
Ideals often yield to reality. Carl X was certainly willing to take such a bad breath for his cousin, because boguslav''s behavior was an insult to the Kape family. And he now has such strength. With the smooth progress of the Swedish army in the Republic of Poland, the importance of capitulationists and wall riding parties in places like yanush and boguslav has been greatly reduced. Swedish monarchs and ministers are floating in the continuous victory of the army. They are unwilling or only willing to rarely share the "cake" with traitors like yanush. But Christina was acutely aware that an undercurrent was surging and could overthrow the Swedish ship on the visva river at any time.
Yes, the country has no king, but the Lords have not given up resistance. Pavel sapega and Jan sobesky are the best examples. The people of the Republic of Poland, the people of a country where almost all people believe in Catholicism, are also full of hostility to Protestant Sweden. Although they remained silent under the power of the Swedish army, once Sweden showed a trace of weakness, they would rise up. The attitude of Czar Russia was also very ambiguous. After Sweden invaded the Republic of Poland, the bloated behemoth who took the lead in invading Smolensk began to stand still. His messengers did not return directly after asking for Karl X in Warsaw, but disappeared without a trace. And those Swedish allies, in Christina''s view, are not so reliable. Frederick, the elector, almost followed field marshal Brauer Williamsburg into Warsaw without firing a shot. After that, he spent almost every battle as a loafer; Yanush raziweu was not as influential as expected, and almost half of the nobles opposed his cooperation with the Swedes. Under such circumstances, dealing with boguslav will offend an elector and a prince, which is unfavorable to Sweden. Even though Christina, as a Catholic, opposed the invasion of Poland from beginning to end, she still had to consider the interests of the kingdom of Sweden.
Forgiving boguslav is a decision based on these considerations.
Of course, these are not for outsiders. Even to Douglas, he could only guess one or two reasons.
"Really? Chris is still so kind." Cherchen couldn''t figure out these problems. He could only attribute them to Chris''s character.
"Your Highness is indeed the kindest person in the world." Douglas praised Cherchen unconsciously. When he talked about Christina, he looked as if he were talking about a saint.
Christina entrusts Douglas to convey her greetings to Cherchen. Douglas has already conveyed them, and it''s getting late. Douglas should have returned to rest. But he made an unexpected request.
"Do you want to see my mercenary regiment?" Chechen said in surprise.
"Yes, I''ve heard that your mercenary regiment is used to fighting and is a strong brigade. Although it''s a little abrupt to eliminate such requirements so late, I still hope that commander Chechen will agree," Douglas said.
To get the guidance of a famous Swedish general such as Douglas, Cherchen certainly needs it. He dared to promise and ordered the night guard to blow the horn.
This horn was originally used by the mercenary regiment in case of raid or emergency. At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that the soldiers who had fallen asleep came out of the tent one after another. They put on their clothes as they ran, with weapons in their hands.
It took almost an hour for all the talents to assemble in front of the playground. At that point, the mercenary regiment was 134 less, and the squadron leader zepesh was not there. But tonight is not the night of the squadron of caipesh. It''s fair to say.
"Cherchen, what happened so late?" Pedro, dressed up, asked hurriedly. He found a soldier standing beside Chechen.
"Who is this?" asked Pedro suspiciously.
Cherchen introduced General Douglas to Pedro. A famous Swedish general came to the mercenary regiment. Pedro was flattered. He shook Douglas''s hand tremblingly.
Then, at the request of General Douglas, the mercenary regiment practiced. Because most people wake up from their dreams in the middle of the night, the effect of practice is not ideal. Moreover, due to the absence of tsepesh, only three squadrons actually practiced.
But Douglas nodded as he watched. Because Cherchen''s mercenary regiment is much better than most Polish dominated armies he has seen.
"Captain Chechen, your mercenary regiment uses the establishment of our Swedish army?" Douglas saw the reality of the mercenary regiment at a glance.
"Yes," Chechen admitted.
"Unfortunately, your mercenary regiment has fewer artillery and cavalry, otherwise it will have half the combat effectiveness of our Swedish army under the same number," Douglas commented.
This is already a very high evaluation. Originally, because his mercenary regiment is only one-third or even one-quarter of the "teacher"?
For Douglas''s problem of too few artillery and cavalry of the mercenary regiment, Cherchen explained to Douglas that Prince yanush of artillery was only allocated to them, and the cavalry of argildas suffered heavy losses in the initial battle with Jan sobesky.
"I look forward to our fighting side by side in the next battle."
After understanding the situation of the mercenary corps, Douglas left, leaving such a sentence before leaving.
