The subtext of "acquiescence in all requirements for the Principality of Prussia" is the acquiescence that the kingdom of Sweden can occupy the Principality of Prussia. This shocked Chechen.
Chechen was shocked not by the favorable conditions, but by the ability of King Jan kazimiz to turn his hand over the clouds and rain by selling the interests of the Principality of Prussia to the kingdom of Sweden just after he allied himself with Frederick William and sent himself to save Princess Louise Henriette.
Seeing Chechen''s look dull, Stanislaw pototsky knew that he was frightened.
Looking around, he saw that no one paid attention to himself and Chechen. The old man pulled Chechen to the balcony.
"Shocked, isn''t it?" Stanislaw pototsky asked.
Cherchen nodded.
"Then next, I want you to be a knight in the name of knight and not reveal a point to anyone."
The old man wanted to disclose the inside information to Cherchen one or two to enhance the political ability of his old friend''s son-in-law, but he was worried that Cherchen''s relationship with Queen Christina would tell the queen his words, so he wanted Cherchen to make an oath.
Chechen did.
"I believe you also know that the king is not willing to let Prussia become independent. It is a painful decision made under the situation of internal and external difficulties of the Republic. Prussia is a pearl on the crown of the Republic, and losing it is very painful for the king. However, due to the situation, it has to be so. However, when the war between us and tsarist Russia is over, the independence of the Republic will come to an end The national strength has been restored, and we must take back this pearl. Moreover, many Germanic nobles and upper class people in Prussia also want the Republic, oppose Prussia''s departure from Poland, and they even planned protests and riots. The mayor of konisburg, heronims Ross, led the "Prussian city alliance" Refusing to recognize the Oliva treaty and claiming that it was invalid to transfer Prussian sovereignty from Poland to Frederick William without their consent. Many cities in Prussia responded to the call and refused to swear allegiance to Friedrich. They jointly sent a letter of help to the king asking whether they could "become poles again."
Chechen swallowed a mouthful of water.
"But this is different from the kingdom of Sweden..."
Cherchen''s words stopped as soon as they were exported. Because he understood the intention of the Republic to throw an olive branch at Queen Christina.
Since so many nobles and cities in Prussia still want the Republic of Poland, the rule of Frederick William elector in Prussia is bound to be restless. In order to consolidate his rule, he will try his best to suppress these opposition forces who want to the Republic of Poland. Trapped in the situation at home and abroad, King Jan kazimiz was unable to provide support to the "Prussian city alliance". In this case, it would be the only choice to introduce a third party to help the "Prussian city alliance" against Frederick William.
Although among the surrounding countries, the kingdom of Sweden is not the only one with strength, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate.
Because the kingdom of Sweden has just experienced a civil strife and the war of more than four years has greatly damaged its strength, it and Frederick William are destined to be a protracted war. As long as it is delayed for several years, as old lord Stanislaw pototsky said: "When the war between us and Czarist Russia is over and the national strength of the Republic is restored, we must get back this pearl." the Republic of Poland will certainly join the war and fight with Snipes and mussels to benefit the fishermen.
What a trick!
Che Chen couldn''t help sighing.
If it was Carl x, Chechen believed that he would jump in even if he saw the fishiness of King Yang kazimiz and knew that there was a fire pit ahead. Because Carl X had absolute confidence in himself, he believed that he was the chosen man and the invincible God of war.
But now Christina is in charge of state affairs
Chechen cast a glance in the direction of the queen.
At this time, Christina was talking to a white haired Swedish aristocrat.
Maybe Christina made a joke. The white haired aristocrat looked up and laughed.
"Sister Christina has the political wisdom no less than Carl x," Chechen thought.
With this in mind, Chechen promised boss Stanislaw pototsky: "don''t worry, old man. I''ll put forward the Republic''s proposal to sister Christina tomorrow."
The next morning, Chechen asked to see Christina, and he soon got permission.
In the main hall of grispoholm palace, Christina sits high on the throne.
Perhaps I have a hunch that Cherchen''s coming here is related to business. Next to Christina, there is Carl Xi, the new king of the kingdom of Sweden, and alvid Wittenberg and Robert Douglas, two important ministers of Christina, also stand around.
"His Majesty the king, Her Majesty the Regent queen and Earl of Poland aleval Chechen greet you both." Chechen salutes Carl Xi and Queen Christina.
Carl Xi, perhaps the youngest king in Europe, doesn''t know how great the responsibility on his shoulder is. He keeps kicking his legs on the throne, turns a deaf ear to Cherchen''s greetings, and his eyes look around from time to time.
Christina cast a dignified glance at Carl Xi. Little Carl seemed afraid of Christina. He hurried to sit down.
"Get flat, count Chechen," said Christina.
Her voice was very light, but it was enough for Chechen to hear.
Che Chen straightened up.
Then Christina asked Cherchen what she had been doing.
Cherchen spoke out the wishes of King Jan kachmidge for the alliance between Poland and Sweden and the conditions for the alliance.
While Chechen was talking, he secretly glanced at alvid Wittenberg and Robert Douglas, and saw that their faces were full of smiles.
Obviously, regardless of Christina''s wishes, alvid Wittenberg and Robert Douglas, as soldiers, are very willing to see the Swedish army land in Prussia and reproduce the former glory of Gustav, the "Northern European lion".
"May agree to an alliance," Chechen guessed.
After Cherchen finished, he stood quietly, waiting for Christina''s reply.
Robert Douglas looked at Queen Christina, and alvid Wittenberg looked at the queen with a hopeful face.
The Swedish Marshal had heard from Stanislaw pototsky long before Cherchen came to see Queen Christina. Although he saw at a glance that the Polish proposal was evil, the marshal himself still hoped that Sweden could form an alliance with Poland. Because the old Marshal had the same confidence that the invincible Swedish army could occupy Prussia before the Polish Republic calmed down. This can not only bring meritorious service to herself, but also consolidate the Queen''s rule at home. He is also confident that if he can get the support of France this time, neither Denmark nor Habsburg will dare to help Frederick William elect.
Before alvid Wittenberg''s eyes, there were even bright and wonderful future prospects: thousands of Swedish troops swarmed into Prussia. They stormed into Prussia, defeated the ever-changing electors as liberators, and brought the Principality of Prussia into their pockets; The shocked German countries saw the great military power of the kingdom of Sweden and prostrated at the feet of the queen and surrendered one after another; So I will command the unprecedented Swedish German coalition army, which will sweep the Habsburg family into the pile of old papers and put the Swedish flag on the red wall of the Kremlin
Just as alvid Wittenberg was thinking, the calm voice of Queen Christina came into his ears.
"Count Chechen, I already know about this. Please step down first. Your majesty and I need to discuss it with the ministers."
Cherchen was not very disappointed, but his words poured cold water on alvid Wittenberg''s eager heart.
He understood that if Christina intended to form an alliance with the Republic of Poland, she would certainly agree to it face to face by virtue of the relationship between the queen and Cherchen. And now ??????????????????????????
After Cherchen retired, Christina stood up from the throne. The queen said nothing. She paced up and down the room with big steps. Finally, under the anxious eyes of alvid Wittenberg, Christina firmly said to the old Marshal: "count, I want to refuse to form an alliance with the Republic of Poland. Even if I have the right to form an alliance, I will never do so as long as I am still alive!"
It was so loud that it weighed as heavily as molten lead or iron, and alvid Wittenberg was out of breath. For a while, he hung his head and was speechless. After a while, he stammered and asked, "why... Why, noble female... Wang, why..."
Queen Christina returned to the throne and gently took Carl Xi''s hand.
Then the queen seemed to speak to alvid Wittenberg and to Carl Xi.
"Now it is the most vulnerable and volatile in the history of the kingdom of Sweden. Due to years of war and the government''s extravagance, the national debt is getting higher and higher, but the Treasury is empty. On the way to Stockholm, I learned that even our invincible army, those brave soldiers often have to go hungry. In many fortresses, the soldiers die of hunger, The phenomenon of collective escape has also occurred. Except for the soldiers who fought abroad, other ordinary soldiers can hardly find their uniforms and weapons; and half of the salaries of administrative personnel have not been paid due to lack of funds. We owe France a lot of money, and almost the whole country is supported by French economic assistance. Of course, I believe the French are willing to lend us money, Just as they were willing to help my father against the Habsburg family. But in this way, we will become an economic vassal of France and independence will be impossible. I can''t accept it. "
"But your majesty, if we occupy Prussia"
Alvid Wittenberg didn''t want to fight again. He wanted to say that if he could occupy Prussia, no matter how big the debt could be paid off with this new territory.
But his words were immediately interrupted by the queen.
"Marshal, you say if. Then we are also likely to be defeated. The kingdom of Sweden can''t afford a big defeat. That''s why everyone supports me after the death of Carl X."
With that, Christina looked at Robert Douglas.
Robert Douglas immediately bowed and said, "the queen is holy."
"The queen is holy." although avid Wittenberg was unwilling, he bowed to Christina''s idea.
Christina looked down at Carl Xi again.
"Little Carl, you should remember that the Kingdom needs to recuperate now. Don''t learn from your father or me, because we all spend too much money."
Little Carl nodded vaguely.
Then Robert Douglas stood up again.
"Your Majesty," said the general, "I''m afraid it will be difficult for Cherchen to make a job when he returns. He is your most sincere friend. I''m afraid he''s going to be cold this time. Moreover, how can we reply to Lord Stanislaw pototsky?"
"Cherchen doesn''t matter. He''s not a person who doesn''t know his strong relationship. Moreover, he is him and Poland is Poland. For him personally, I will give him the richest reward; as for Stanislaw pototsky," Christina paused. The Queen''s eyes showed a sharp light - she was angry with these people who always "love playing big chess".
"I will tell him my will by action."
After returning to Stanislaw pototsky, Chechen brought the Queen''s words to the old man. Stanislaw pototsky looked disappointed.
"Really? That''s right. Alas, Queen Christina really missed a good opportunity. Such an opportunity will never happen again." the old man muttered to himself.
"Yes," echoed Chechen.
Then they fell into and silence.
Chechen thought Stanislaw pototsky would give up. He was preparing to comfort the old man, but he didn''t expect that the old man suddenly raised his head and showed a look of hope in his eyes.
"No, no, you can''t just give up." Stanislaw pototsky walked up and down in front of Cherchen. His voice grew louder and louder, and his hand extended over his head.
"I''ll see Queen Christina in person. Maybe I can convince her. Didn''t she say she wanted to consult with the ministers? Since she didn''t completely refuse, it means there''s still hope - because no one can refuse..."
No one can refuse anything. Chechen didn''t hear it clearly, but he sadly thought that the old man was just comforting himself and struggling
Christina''s sister is not a fool. Unless God wants her to change her mind.
