Denmark had a good meal when signing the peace agreement. You should know that the territory that Denmark seized from Sweden this time is approximately equivalent to the later Swedish provinces of Kalma, Scona, Haran, Jongkopin, Krunuberi, Blekin, Gotland, and most of the West Jotland provinces and parts of the East Jotland province. Total total, it is about 70,000 square kilometers.
You should know that the land of the Kingdom of Denmark had an area of ​​more than 40,000 square kilometers. Although there is a larger Smoran hilly area in the middle of this 70,000 square kilometers, most of the areas are still relatively flat. Most of the areas are most suitable for agriculture. Most of the areas are warmest in Sweden...
In this way, although more than half of the territory was lost in the war with Marin, everything was earned back through this blackmail Sweden.
Moreover, the southern region of Sweden is only separated from Copenhagen, the most core capital of Denmark, and is relatively convenient to manage. Unlike the Kingdom of Norway, although it is also affiliated with Denmark, it is difficult to manage because it is too far from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark.
Not only that, because it captured southern Sweden, Denmark also managed to escape a political crisis - after seeing the decline of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Norway wanted to become independent...
After all, after the defeat in the war, Denmark not only lost Sweden, but also lost most of its land, leaving only a few islands such as Zeland. In terms of strength, the Kingdom of Denmark could not catch up with the Kingdom of Norway. Norway, as a submission, naturally had the idea of ​​learning Sweden. Unexpectedly, Denmark took advantage of its still-familiar wealth to seize southern Sweden, which not only strengthened its strength, but also shocked the opposition within the Kingdom of Norway.
...
Sweden is in a bad mood. Not only does it lose the most essence of the southern region, which is 70,000 square kilometers, it also needs to pay 400,000 gold coins.
Fortunately, Marin is willing to invest in increasing the development and utilization of the Failun copper mine, which can help Sweden's finances recover. However, this is not that beautiful...
Why? Because mineral resources are ultimately limited. No matter how large the reserves of Fayilun copper ore are, there will be one day of mining...
Marin remembers that the most prosperous era of the Farilun copper mine was in the mid-to-late 17th century. At that time, the Farilun copper mine produced an average of 3,500 tons of copper per year, making it the largest super-rich copper mine in the world at that time.
What is the concept of 3500 tons of copper? In the current situation where the silver-copper price ratio is 1 to 15, it is equivalent to 233.3 tons of silver! Then, it is converted into gold based on 12 to 1, which is 19.4 tons of gold...
Of course, the price of copper is not static. Before the Dutch introduced Japanese copper, Sweden was always the richest country in Europe. Those who have played the P Society know that Sweden in the 17th century had a fucking trick - it was so much money...
In an era when copper prices were very expensive, the Kingdom of Sweden did not need a large voyage, so I dug copper mines, and my income was no worse than others...
However, copper mines are not endless. After entering the 18th century, Swedish copper mines were digging less and less. In addition, the Dutch red hair introduced cheap copper from Japan, which impacted Sweden's finances. At the same time, the bear next to him also produced a Peter the Great, and pressed Sweden to the ground and beat it. Then, Sweden declined...
Malin estimated that although the Fayilun copper mine is a rich mine and has a large reserve, it can maintain high-intensity mining for hundreds of years. If you continue to mine, there will be no profit. After all, the mine was already very deep at that time, and the mining was extremely difficult and the cost was naturally high. Unlike now, it is just developed and mined on the surface, so don’t be too easy.
Moreover, now when mining on the surface, you can use blasting to mine. Once you have a gunpowder barrel, you can directly pick up the ore after it is blown up... But when you get downstairs, you can try blasting? If you have a landslide, many people will die...
Marin didn't know what would happen a hundred years later, but now, while he still has half of the shares of Fayilun Copper Mine to expand production, it is the right thing to do to mine Fayilun Copper Mine on a large scale. As for the depletion of resources in the future, what is the problem with him? He just came to make a fortune...
Of course, this will also benefit the current Swedish kingdom. After all, when copper minerals are produced large, they will also get more money. In this way, they can also have the capital to confront Denmark. If Denmark is too strong and Sweden is too weak, and Nordics are reunified, Marin will not be happy.
...
In addition, this peace agreement is very special. Because, as mediators, Marin, Lübeck and Hamburg actually signed the contract and guaranteed peace between the two countries, which is unusual.
Even most of the European monarchs at this time could not see the intentions of the three families, thinking that they were really maintaining peace in Nordic regions. Only a few monarchs with strong abilities, such as Louis XII and Maximilian I, after thinking, saw the intentions of the three families - to maintain the balance of the power of the two Nordic countries and avoid the emergence of a powerful country like the Kalma Alliance again. After all, the Kalma Alliance in Denmark severely robbed the Hanseatic League of business in the Baltic region and gained the upper hand. Because Denmark controlled the Ore Strait leading to the Baltic Sea...
Of course, these clever monarchs did not expect that this was Marin's idea. They all thought it was created by Lubeck and Hamburg. After all, from the ending, Lubeck and Hamburg were indeed the biggest beneficiaries.
However, they ignored the benefits of Marin - half of the profits of the French copper mine were not a joke. In the past life, Marin played "The Storm of the World". In the 17th century, he always started with Sweden and then penetrated Germany. Because Sweden had no strong enemies at the beginning, and there were also strong financial support from the French copper mine. Taking the route of Gu Erye's interference in Germany is much simpler than using a small vassal state in Germany.
However, it was the 17th century, and Sweden's good times were only a hundred years old. After that, when I met the rising bear, I was beaten up...

In fact, Marin worked so hard to maintain the Nordic balance, in addition to planning the benefits of the Fa-Iron Copper Mine, he also had the idea of ​​Sweden's future interference in German affairs.
This is also the pit that Marin dug before...
At the beginning, in order to fight Denmark, the enemy of life and death, Marin did not hesitate to support Sweden, which was in power at that time. Not only did he attack Denmark militarily, but he also sent people to help Sweden develop the Ferylón copper mine.
After the first victory of the war against Denmark, Marin also helped Sweden obtain the entire territory and the island of Gotland...
However, when Marin obtained the Jutland Peninsula, she remembered that it was bad, Sweden was about to grow up...
When did Sweden become a powerful country? In the 17th century. Why did it become a powerful country? First, they regained the southern coastal areas from Denmark; second, they developed the Ferylón copper mine...
In other words, in order to attack Denmark, Marin accidentally built a Sweden with strong potential... So, this is a pit that Marin dug himself...
What if Marin was fighting against the German princes in the religious war, the Swedes suddenly stabbed him in the back... Marin's efforts might fail... Therefore, limiting Sweden became an important task for Marin after defeating Denmark for the second time... and now, this task has finally been basically completed...
After the balance between Denmark and Sweden was reached, when Marin fought a religious war, Denmark and Sweden would not have the energy to intervene. Because, as long as one side dared to send troops to Germany, the other side would definitely not mind tracing the other side's hometown... In this way, Marin would not worry that Sweden would send troops to Germany like in the "Thirty Years' War"... At the same time, Marin could also use half of the equity of the Faylon Copper Mine to make a big profit...
...
With an extremely satisfied mood, Marin left Lübeck and returned to Orich. Unexpectedly, after just solving the problem of taking back half of the shares of the Ferylón Copper Mine from Sweden, another good thing was also delivered to the door, which was a good thing...
Marin just came back, and the next morning, good news came from Port Emden:
"Grand Duke, the Governor of Cuba, ordered people to bring back the news - the seed of sisal, and found it!"
Ma Lin, who was already a little sleepy, immediately felt refreshed:
"Where? Come and take it to me!"
