The money invested is nothing in the republic, but for Sweden, which has only 6,000 permanent residents in the big city of Stockholm, it is life-saving money.

Chen Jian, the mastermind behind the scenes, was convinced that Sweden could agree to these conditions, and would consider them very generous.

For the marauding Gustav and his army of mercenaries, war can be rich, and war can be fed by war.

Once the war began, the ransom paid by the towns of northern Germany each year to avoid raiding could support more legions. In order to feed the war with war, a large number of weapons were necessary, and Chen Jian was sure that a foreign holding company with a copper-iron smelting and artillery complex would soon be able to seize the wealth of the whole of north-central Europe from Sweden.

Chen Jian does not want to see an Austrian-dominated Catholic Germany, which is likely to have tariff protection, which is quite detrimental to exports. Sweden is the most important chess piece to stir up Catholic Germany, and it does not need Chen Jian to go into battle shirtless, nor does it need the capital group of the republic to send troops, but only needs a certain amount of loans, so that Sweden, which is weak at this time, can grow up quickly.

Investing in weak countries with potential does not pay much, but gains a lot. Once the economic lifelines except for robbery are controlled, the future gains will not be comparable to the hundreds of thousands of silver coins that can be compared to today.

The aristocracy in Sweden is not strong, and the Linköping tragedy has killed a wave of nobles, and the war can allow the bottom to participate more widely in national politics, which is of great help to the awakening of democracy, which is beneficial to the progress of the times.

When the negotiations between the Preparatory Committee and the Swedish envoy gradually became clear, Chen Jian finally appeared, which meant that the negotiations had reached the final stage.

Using his previous personal connections in the army, Jian Chen invited the Swedish envoy to see an elite army drill near the capital.

In addition to the horizontal tactics and platoon guns, the Swedish envoys were most impressed by the artillery level of these elite armies.

Compared with the artillery technology in Europe at this time, the artillery here is higher than the level of a gravity value plus parabolic calculation, even if the cannon has not been successful because the boring machine of the digging cylinder has not been successful, so there is no cross-era technology, but the gravitational acceleration value and parabolic calculation measured by the pendulum have greatly improved the accuracy of artillery operation.

After calculating the acceleration of gravity by mathematics and pendulums, Gakumiya organized a new and expensive prefabricated artillery ruler angle table.

In the field provided by the military, a flat and wide field was built at great expense, and a fort was built two meters above the field, so that cannons of various calibers and body-to-tube ratios could be fired parallel to the ground, and the distance between the first point of impact and the battery was measured.

After using a simple parabola calculation, the average flight speed of the cannon shell under different charges was roughly calculated, and then the corrected values of the trigonometric function table brought back from Europe by the Department of Mathematics and Chen Jian were used to compile various shooting parameters.

Artillery officers had to learn geometry, and artillerymen only needed to read and understand the parameters and rulers and protractors that were drawn according to the diagram.

It's not accurate, but it's a huge improvement from the previous experience, and the hit rate is much higher than before.

In the white smoke of the training ground, Chen Jian and the Swedish envoy had a conversation in Dutch amid the smell of gunsmoke left by the guns.

The Swedish envoy called him according to the position of Chen Jian during his voyage around the world, and Chen Jian did not correct him, because before coming here, some of the capital's power groups with great ties to capital had a conversation with Chen Jian, although it was still nominally private capital that operated the matter, but Chen Jian could use some official status appropriately, even if he had been deprived of it, he could still borrow it.

"Mr. Governor-General, the artillery of your country is of a very high level."

"Artillery technology depends on mathematics and luck. But math has always been with Lady Luck. That is why we want to open a university in your country, and these things should belong to everyone, just as many things should be universally applicable in the world. ”

There are many things that are universally applicable to the world, but what is and what is not depends on who has the right to speak in the world. Jian Chen used mathematics to make a small opening, creating a sophistry concept that made many of the things taught at the planned university sophistry universal, especially in the humanities.

The Swedish envoy did not think so much and praised: "It is true, and indeed many things are universally applicable to the world. His Majesty will certainly agree to your proposal to establish a university in Stockholm, and I think His Majesty will grant the university a tax exemption with sufficient land. If the people in your country who make a living as mercenaries also have such a level, we are willing to hire a group of soldiers. ”

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "It's impossible. There may be private acts, but organized mercenaries use the blood of Chinese people to make money, which is absolutely forbidden. However, some retired artillery officers can be hired in a private capacity, and I can help you get in touch with this. I personally have sympathy for the people who have suffered in the war that is taking place in your country, so I would suggest that PII send some field doctors. In China, I will also look for some surgical interns to go to, maybe their skills are not good, but it is better to learn and progress in the wounded barracks than nothing. ”

Thinking of the level of those interns, Chen Jian felt that if he was sent to the wounded barracks over there for internship, his level of anatomy, surgery, and amputation would be greatly improved after ten years. High-level doctors will not go, but interns should have no problem, maybe they can also rely on the Dan Swee War and the Swiss-Russian War to train several world-famous surgeons and anatomical masters in the future, which are all fed with human life, and the level cannot be high.

The Swedish envoys knew that the changes that had taken place in the wounded barracks during the Spanish-Dutch War did not require too much medical skill, and that qualified nurses were enough to reduce the mortality rate from seventy to thirty percent, but this huge contrast made the International Society for the Rescue of the Wounded, which had few doctors, a great reputation.

"I thought about it that it should be human kindness and nature to save lives, but what I saw was not the case. Therefore, I hope that when you return to China, you will be able to convey on my behalf that your country will sign the Convention on the Prohibition of the Massacres of Cities, Civilians and Wounded Soldiers. In the future, the Society for the Rescue of the Wounded and Wounded can give priority to the treatment of wounded soldiers in the signatory countries, and I hope that the world can take a big step forward and condemn, sanction and jointly send troops to uphold the justice of the world in the event of the massacre of cities and the massacre of civilian wounded soldiers in the future. ”

"I will certainly convey this on behalf of Mr. Governor, and I think the benevolent King will agree."

Jian Chen smiled in his heart, but there was no option to prohibit robbery in the proposed convention, and the previous performance of the International Association of Saving the Lives and Injuries was amazing, and it was estimated that Gustav would sign it after weighing the pros and cons.

The draft convention has made little progress, and in order to win the Netherlands into the convention, there is not even a provision prohibiting massacres for religious reasons.

This is a convention to win over emerging countries to challenge the old European order, and a new world order and the mainstream three views are not only established by force, but in fact it is a business, but this business is invested in silver and manpower, but what is harvested is something that seems to be invisible and untouchable, but it does not mean that it is meaningless.

If the massacre of civilians and wounded soldiers becomes an axiom for the slaughter of cities and wounded soldiers, then even if the door to the concept of human rights is opened, it will one day become a mistake to rob and kill people for religious reasons – and now, killing people because of religion is a form of political correctness.

Although the Swedish envoy agreed to this, Chen Jian had not mentioned the loans and arms sales that he most wanted to hear, so he could only cater to Chen Jian for now to say that these things did not seem important to him.

After talking for a while about people's rights and other things that seemed reasonable to the aristocracy but were pure nonsense on the whole, Chen Jian finally talked about the issue of investment and loans.

"I can make it clear that the Republic has no intention of forming an alliance with your country for the time being, nor does it have the idea of financial support from the government, which needs to be passed by our National Assembly, but now is clearly not the time. However, it is feasible for private companies to invest, and the people of the preparatory committee have already talked to you, and the specific amount will be discussed by both of you, and I will just talk about the name of the contract. ”

"I would like to know, in whose name did our investment and cooperation agreement with your country sign? The company wants to sign a contract with Sweden, not with the Vaasa family in Sweden. This is our bottom line, whoever supports the contract is the government that can be recognized by the company; If the contract is not recognized, the company will not recognize the legitimacy of its government. ”

"Of course, we can do some support and loans now, but a real treaty of cooperation can only be signed after your king has officially ascended the throne and received the support of the parliament and the nobility, and then a series of cooperation can be initiated. I hope you will go back and convey this clearly. You know, your country is not the same as we are, and leaving aside the question of whether it is supported by legal reason, what if Sigmund Vasa of Poland returned to Sweden with his troops and became King of Sweden without recognizing these investments and contracts? ”

"Whether it is reasonable or not, whether there is a legal reason, you have your reasoning, your theory. Including things like noble bloodline and inheritance. But these things don't apply to us, we don't recognize them. Not to mention the philosophy of our party, that is, the concept of investment companies, these bloodlines and inheritance rights are bullshit, whoever recognizes the contract is reasonable within the concept of capital, and the rest are bullshit. Even if Sigmund Vasa has the right to claim, even if he has the blood of the orthodox Vasa family, but does not recognize all kinds of contracts, he is a puppet regime in the capital system. ”

"I like capital very much, only talking about interests, not blood. I like the nouveau riche far more than the aristocracy.
