After Olaf finished speaking, the soldier hurriedly turned and left.

Olaf smiled silently, then turned and returned to the boat, letting people take out the map to analyze the situation.

Memel Fortress is located in the northwest corner of the Kingdom of Lithuania in Poland. It is the only port to the sea in Poland, but this port has always been the territory of the Principality of Prussia.

However, since the Principality of Prussia has always been a subject of Poland, it has never affected the use of Poland.

However, after Gustav II led the rise of Sweden and took away the suzerainty of the Duchy of Prussia, Memel Fortress was also taken over by the tax officer sent by Gustav II and began to collect taxes on Polish merchants, which made Poland very uncomfortable. .

This small port in the southeast corner of the Baltic Sea has become a thorn in Poland, and even a thorn in the heart of King Władysław IV of Poland and Lithuania.

Before the death of Gustav II's cousin, Władysław was still at war with the Ottoman Empire in the south and Tsarist Russia in the east, and could only bear it.

But now that King Agustav II is dead, Russia has been beaten honestly. Poland and the Ottoman Empire also ceased war last year, and signed a treaty restricting the mutual looting of Ottomans and Cossacks on the border.

Therefore, Władysław IV launched a war with all his might, preparing to retake the northern lands and the Memel Fortress in the northwest, and bring Prussia back into his own subject state.

Therefore, the main attack in Poland and Lithuania is Memelburg, and only Cossack infantry and wing cavalry are harassing northern Latvia.

Therefore, in this situation, it is impossible for Sweden’s supreme commander, Jesnyrinen, to appear on the front line to fight the Polish army, unless he went to Prussia, but without Swedish orders, Jesnylinen and Prussia. Without friendship, it is obvious that he would not risk exposing Estonia's belly to help Memelburg.

Olaf looked at the map on the ship, and then guessed that the battle in Fort Memmel should still be in a stalemate. Before the trip, the Principality of Prussia had sent a report to the Privy Council, saying that he had recruited five thousand troops and rushed to May. Melburg, requesting the sovereign Sweden to also send troops to rescue.

Olaf used his toes to think and knew that Uksenshina would definitely not send troops. He hoped that more people would die in the Principality of Prussia, so that Olaf and his gang would be weakened.

Olaf called a guard and said, "You take a few people to the Port of Memmelburg to see what's going on there. I'm so prepared."

After the guards left, Olaf went back to the room and lay down to rest.

Two hours later, the guards delivered fried pork chops, berries, and vegetable soup.

Olaf was wiping his mouth after eating, and he saw the gallery coming in and said, "Master, the Governor of Finland, Jesni Lenin, is here and is asking for a meeting outside the ship."

Olaf cleaned his mouth and beard calmly, and then said, "Please come in."

After a while, the forehead library led and a tall old man walked in.

The old man’s complexion was white, but his facial features were similar to those of Asians. His hair and beard were also gray. He was wearing a linen robe with a long sword on his waist. He walked in front of Olaf and smiled and bowed his chest: "Are you Lord Olaf? Sure enough, I’m young! I’m the Governor-General of Finland, Jesnylenin Yevi, and I’ve seen the Count of the Minister!"

Olaf got up and shook hands with Jesnylenin, and found that they were similar in height. He smiled and said, "Hello, Jesnylenin, your height is rare in Sweden and Finland, right."

"I have been said to be the offspring of a giant since I was a child. I saw you, Lord Lord, that I knew that the offspring of the giant was more than me, haha."

Jessnylenin's joke made Olaf also smiled, because the rude displeasure of Yesnylenin also disappeared.

"I heard that you brought a lot of weapons, your lord? Do you have artillery? How many?" Jesnylenin asked impatiently as he sat down.

Olaf also saw at this time that the governor of Finland was clearly a straightforward and true temperament, and that was why he was said to be unruly, because it was difficult for other people to change his mind for things like him. Yes, he does things, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships, sometimes they are handled according to their preferences, and that's why they offend people.

However, Olaf’s environment in which he grew up did not have little contact with this number of people. Kadir, Hoskurd, and Hagrid are basically such people, so they are not disgusted, and even have a few words to greet Jesny. .

Hearing the straightforward question from Jesni Laining, Olaf smiled playfully: "Why does the Governor also lack cannons?"

"For more than ten years, the country has not supported a single artillery in Finland and Estonia. I know that your Majesty wants to develop the navy and fight in Germany, so I have never asked for it. used.

You did not bring a large army. It can be seen that Master Uksenchena wants us to hold Poland and even abandon the southern Latvia. I understand that the Swedish empire is not easy, so I am prepared to guard against death, but it is difficult to defend without artillery. what! "

Jesnylenin sighed and said, "Except for the soldiers guarding the cities, I only have less than 5,000 soldiers in my hand. I can neither take the initiative to attack nor fight against the Poles, Schwarzenberg of Memmelburg. Marshal Ge has asked me for rescue twice, but I have too few troops and insufficient defense. How can I divide my troops to rescue him? Hey!"

Olaf smiled and said, "Don’t worry, the old general. Since I’m here, I will be alone in the future wars in the east. I brought 10,000 armaments and a month’s worth of supplies. The ammunition is not counted. The new musket. There are 3,000 light cannons, 43 light cannons, 12 heavy cannons, and 28 mortars of varying sizes. It is enough to arm a large artillery regiment. If you need it, it happens that the battle of Fort Memmel is in urgent need. Take it to supervise the battle..."

"this……"

Yesni Lenin hesitated very much when he heard Olaf’s words. He was very reluctant to take his own military power as soon as Olaf came. He was mainly worried that Olaf would command blindly, and at the same time he did not want his soldiers to sacrifice innocently. .

But the material artillery that Olaf showed up immediately made Jesnylining very hesitant. Seeing that he would not agree to Olaf, he really wanted to get up and see off the guests~www.readwn.com~ Jesnylining had to say, "The Count of Minister. Don’t worry, sir. I and the soldiers in the east will follow your orders from now on, but you have to take care of the overall situation and don’t ignore the lives of the soldiers for military merit."

Jesnylenin’s words were quite pertinent, and in the end there were even some lessons, but Olaf was not angry. He smiled and said, "I know the soldiers too. Don’t worry, if you really want to do anything, you will discuss with the Governor. I will never go my own way."

Hearing Olaf’s assurance, Jesny Lining breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with a smile: "Today I blame me, Lord Count is not on the boat anymore, please come to the Governor's Mansion to rest."

Olaf nodded and said, "Also."

Yesni Lenin took Olaf and his party from the port to the Governor’s Mansion. Olaf took his personal guards and moved into the Governor’s Mansion. Two thousand royal gendarmes lived in the houses around the Governor’s Mansion. It is now in wartime. The Estonian people who had taken the house did not dare to be angry or dared to speak up.
