Chapter 1672 The Basics of Cooperation

To be a country with almost no overseas colonies, Queen Elizabeth's desire for overseas colonies is no less than that of other countries, but the limitation of the sea outlet is only located in the Baltic Sea and the Far East, which makes them very uncomfortable.

Just to obtain the Baltic Sea estuary, Peter the Great did not know how much effort it took at the beginning.

Queen Elizabeth doesn't need to go into details. Because of this seaport, Russia moved its capital to St. Petersburg.

Even so, it cannot make up for the advantages of other countries at sea.

The Baltic Sea is an area with a very awkward location.

Almost all sides of the Baltic Sea are surrounded by land, and the entire sea is surrounded by countries such as Sweden, Russia, Denmark, Germany, Poland, etc.

If you want to pass through the Baltic Sea, you have to pass through several straits. Unfortunately, these straits almost block Russia's exit.

This is a disaster for Russia.

Moreover, the waters of the Baltic Sea are shallow and light and can easily freeze.

The northern and eastern sea areas have an ice period that is not conducive to navigation every year.

It is too simple to control the Baltic Sea estuary. As long as you keep the strait between Denmark and Sweden, you can jamm the necks of many surrounding countries, especially countries like Russia.

And they formed a trade zone with that country in one place and were constantly trading with that country on land.

It is also an important reason why Queen Elizabeth is willing to make friends with the Iron Kingdom.

Once he had a feud with this maritime overlord, Elizabeth would have understood that the happiest person would undoubtedly be the Prussians and the British.

Of course, Queen Elizabeth still despised these pirates from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, these guys were just a group of robbers, just robbers at sea.

When it comes to mobilizing the army, Queen Elizabeth is not too afraid of these European countries. Russia is backed by the north, and there is a piece of land behind her, and almost no one can attack them from there.

The Iron Kingdom is just a country composed of robbers, and Elizabeth is actually still skeptical about how much power this country can have.

The entire Russia has a population of more than 15 million, most of which are serfs dormant under her rule.

The Gulf of Finland is nearly 185 days a year, which means that in nearly half a year, their maritime transportation will be very difficult.

The ship could only dig waterways on the frozen sea surface and move forward slowly.

Nowadays, the Iron Kingdom is in line with Queen Elizabeth's interests, and in some regions, the Iron Kingdom can also provide considerable help to Russia, which is not without benefits for Russia.

It can be said that Roy Smith, the consul of the Iron Kingdom, directly pinched the throat of the Queen Elizabeth.

From this point of view alone, Queen Elizabeth had to take over the olive branch thrown by Royer Smith.

From early November every year, frozen begins to appear in the north, and the covered areas vary every year, and the frozen areas appear in various bays.

With the British turning to Prussia, Prussia's ambition to expand externally became more and more obvious.

They will hardly become the four-war place like other countries, and will not fall into a dilemma of war.

Recently, the British and Prussian small actions cannot escape Elizabeth's eyes. She knew clearly that she was betrayed by the British.

In this case, she had to find new allies again.

Since the reign of Peter the Great, the Baltic Sea has been an important export from Russia to Europe. The long winter not only brought a natural barrier to Russia, but also restricted Russia's development.

The news was quickly passed to St. Petersburg, and Queen Elizabeth was not a fool.

On the grassland, her army surrounded and suppressed many similar guys, and she also had many Khanate surrendered to her.

How could Queen Elizabeth not know about Prussia's threat to Russia?

The legendary character David Jones, who once roamed the Nordic land, has now disappeared from the sea. David Jones, who was once a nightmare on the Nordic sea, has disappeared from the hands of Royer Smith.

The fleet of the Iron Kingdom anchored in the Danish port made the entire Nordic region a little panicked, including the five new warships given to Queen Elizabeth, which can only be driven near St. Petersburg when the Gulf of Finland is thawed.

Fortunately, the news brought by the Iron Kingdom was kind, and it was a lot of gifts for her, Queen Elizabeth of Russia. At least they did not want to get into evil with Russia.

The Gulf of Finland near St. Petersburg is even more of a headache for Russia.

If Russia wants to compete for hegemony in the world, it must pay far more than other countries.

But the Baltic Sea is an important channel for Nordic Europe and an important channel for trade between Russia and Europe.

The masquerade party held tonight was actually to see what surprises Count Gris Allen, who was famous in the Iron Kingdom, could bring her.

This was already a familiar operation process for Elizabeth, and it did not hinder her at all.

In the severe winter, almost the entire sea area was covered, and the thick ice layer was even more than half a meter thick.

Queen Elizabeth hoped that the Iron Kingdom could make a piece of territory in Europe, so that if she wanted to preserve the territory, Queen Elizabeth could send a legion from Russia just like supporting the British Hannover territory.

If it was money alone, this was not what Queen Elizabeth wanted.

And in the East, they had reached a treaty with the huge country called the Qing Dynasty. Under the current circumstances, they would hardly have conflicts with that country.

The Russian army used to protect the enclaves of the Paleontites overseas and also charged them a considerable commission every year.

This is no different from the horse bandits on the grasslands in her country.

The Iron Kingdom is undoubtedly a country that does not have much threat to the Russian inland. Even if they want to build a piece of land in Europe, they are almost unable to manage and deeply cultivate this land.

The interests of the two countries will not conflict in a short period of time.

After the precipitation of time, who doesn't know that Royer Smith inherited David Jones' legacy, and that Craken, who made the entire Nordic pirates tremble, might have returned to the North Sea with the Denmark fleet.

This is definitely not good news for Nordics, and the entire Polo will tremble under the name of Craken.

The country not only needs to have external force deterrence, but also needs to have a cultural core.

The chief guard said that the consul of the Iron Kingdom also brought her a band.

She wanted to see what the orchestra could play, is the Pirate Song?
