The Rise of the European Emperor

"The Rise of the European Emperor ()"!

Ever since he remembered that he was still the great chief of the Lapps, Marin began to plan to actually control the Murmansk area. Then, his brain kicked into high gear, recalling a lot of information about the Murmansk region and the coast of northern Norway.

He first thought of the world-famous Kiruna iron mine in northern Sweden. For this reason, he even built several fishing ports along the coast of northern Norway, just to open up the channel to Kiruna.

However, looking through the report that Kohler helped him find, Marin found that in this era without large-scale construction machinery, it was too difficult to open the road across the Scandinavian mountains. Also, Kiruna is an embarrassing place. Although the dimension is similar to Narvik, even lower than Narvik. But the problem is that the Scandinavian mountains block a lot of warm and humid air brought by the North Atlantic warm current, which makes Kiruna colder in winter than Narvik, which has a slightly higher latitude.

The rugged mountain roads and the freezing of the ground in winter made the construction very difficult. Therefore, the expedition team sent out said that it would take more than 20 years to successfully open the road to Kiruna and transport the iron ore out.

Marlin suddenly lost his temper - Nima, 20 years! I'm over 50, God knows if I'm still here...

"Do you want to give up Kiruna's super iron mine?" Marin thought to himself. At the same time, I was very dissatisfied.

Then, he looked at the map of Northern Europe on the desktop and thought about something. Suddenly, a picture jumped out - it was a map of Norway. On the map, the northernmost coastal area of ​​Norway, not far from Murmansk, there is a small town called Kirkenes...

"Kirkenes? Why does it feel a little familiar..." Marin was puzzled, and continued to start the mode of searching the corner of memory.

Finally, in the World War II module deep in his memory, he found information about "Kirkenes"—Petersamo-Kirkenes Battle!

"Hmm... this battle... seems to be for the iron ore..."

Suddenly, a broken picture flashed in his mind-San Dezi sent troops to control the northern coast of Norway in order to compete for the high-quality iron ore in Kirkenes. At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union launched the Battle of Petersamo-Kirkenes here, and the German army defended here as many as 53,000 people...

"Fuck, 53,000 people! In this remote place within the Arctic Circle? There must be a big mine!" Marin stood up directly.

According to his estimation, Kirkenes either has a large iron mine, or the iron mine contains some rare elements, which are very important to the military industry. Otherwise, San Dezi would not waste more than 50,000 people stationed here!

Think back to that map again,

It seems that Kirkenes is a seaside port!

"Sent! The iron mine is close to the sea! Excellent!"

In this era of extremely inconvenient transportation, the cost of transporting minerals in inland areas is very high. Moreover, whether it is Lorraine iron ore or Luxembourg iron ore, the quality of iron ore is very poor.

During World War II, Sandezi's iron ore mainly came from Kiruna, Sweden's high-quality and high-grade iron ore. And with more than 50,000 people stationed in Kirkenes, it must be a high-grade iron mine! But the reserves are not estimated to be large, otherwise, it is impossible for later generations not to be famous.

But Marin's demand is not large. After all, it has not yet entered the era of machine industry, and the annual demand for steel is not large. Moreover, demand is calculated in tons. Unlike later generations, they are all counted in tons. Even though the iron mine has only been developed by San Dezi for a few years, Marin estimated that there is still an annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons or even millions of tons.

For now, Marin actually just needs to buffer this iron mine. He will not give up on opening the road to Kiruna, but that can be done slowly. However, as long as someone is sent to the iron mine of Kirkenes, it can be used.

Moreover, it is right by the sea, so the transportation is convenient. And because of the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, although it is in the Arctic Circle, it is not frozen all year round.

However, this era was colder than later generations. According to the previous reports of the Lapps, it seems that the northern coast may be partially frozen in January, the coldest month of winter.

But it doesn't matter, why? Because the winter in the Arctic Circle is also a polar night, that is, it is dark all day long, and there is no day, so it is impossible to work anyway.

Therefore, it is better to wait for the winter to pass before developing the local iron mines and transporting iron ore.

"Well, that's it. Kirkenes will be developed next. Moreover, Kirkenes will become the capital of the Lapp region."

"Since it's in the cold Arctic Circle, I'll build the Frozen Throne here!" Marin suddenly jumped up.

He remembered the Frozen Throne of Warcraft he had played in his previous life, so he decided to use Kirkenes as his capital, and built a palace here, and named it the Frozen Throne. Well, you can also ask the blacksmith to make a "Frostmourne" out of stainless steel...

In the future, Kirkenes will be the capital of the Emirate of Lapland, and the palace will be the Frozen Throne... Then, the iconic weapon of the Great Chief of Lapland will be Frostmourne...

Is it very middle school? There are indeed elements of secondary school, but in fact, Marin has other considerations...

What consideration? Of course it is misleading others! Hastily adding an Emirate of Lapland, other countries must be jealous. Marin originally planned to name it the Kingdom of Northrend, so that he could add an extra crown to himself. But he gave up this idea, no one else, just afraid that others will be jealous...

Therefore, he continued to use the usual name of Lapland, continued to call it the Emirate of Lapland, and became the great chief of the Lapp people according to the worship of the Lapp people.

The title of chief is the title of self-proclaimed civilized Europeans' contempt for barbarism and backwardness. Therefore, the title of chief in Malindo will not arouse anyone's jealousy and hostility, but may be ridiculed instead.

But Marin is not afraid of being ridiculed, he only wants actual benefits. The high-quality iron ore that joined Kirkenes was developed, a little ridiculed, it is really not worth mentioning.

In addition, he has other considerations-annexing the Murmansk region, and even considering going south to annex the later Karelia region!

At present, the Grand Duchy of Moscow does not control these areas because they are too far north and extremely cold. The Grand Duchy of Moscow in the Karelia region controls parts of the south, but it doesn't care much. Because, there is really no oil and water here.

However, this area is useful to Marin!

After controlling the Murmansk region and the Karelia region, Marin's land directly borders the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Then, you can directly receive immigrants from Russia.

Although the Karelia and Murmansk regions are cold, there are hundreds of frost-free days every summer. At this time, you can take the opportunity to bring immigrants from the Russian region to the coast of Murmansk, and ship them back to the North Sea country...

...

In other words, Marin's intention is to establish an Emirate of Lapland that includes the area north of the Arctic Circle in northern Norway, Sweden, as well as the Murmansk region and the Karelia region.

The significance of the existence of this emirate is to obtain population from the Russian region and to mine the iron ore resources of Kirkenes and Kiruna (to be mined in the future).

In addition to the Ross people, Marin also intends to absorb some Finns from Finland! The Finns are naturally the natives of Finland, and of course, the Karelians are also a branch of the Finns.

In this era, the Finns seem to be in the tribal era, and they are divided into three major tribal alliances-the Suomi in the southwest, the Hame in the central region, and the Karelians in the southeast.

In later generations, these three ethnic groups merged to become Finns. But in the southeastern region where the Karelians are located, many places are occupied by Tsarist Russia. The Karelians who stayed in Tsarist Russia formed the Karelians alone and did not integrate into the Finnish nation.

At present, the southwestern coastal and central regions are favored by the Swedes because of their favorable climate. Then, the cunning Swedes invaded here in the name of "spreading Christianity", and got the support of the Holy See. Only the territory of the Karelians in the east was not occupied because of the bad weather and the Swedes looked down on it. Later, the Grand Duchy of Moscow occupied the territory of the southern part of the Karelians, and the area near Murmansk in the north did not take a fancy to it...

Marin intends to learn from the shamelessness of the Swedes and occupy Lapland in the name of "spreading Christianity". After all, the Lappish people still believe in such miscellaneous religions as All Souls. Carrying the banner of missionary work, no one can oppose it...

Currently, there are about a few thousand Lapps in Lapland. Because of the bitter cold, life is hard, and the population growth is very slow. Until the 21st century, there were no more than 70,000 to 80,000 Lapps.

Marin's control of these areas will naturally bring a good life to the Lapps. For example, provide them with various living materials, teach them how to use the kang, etc., so as to prevent many people from freezing to death in winter.

...

A few days later, a shocking news came out from the North Sea Country—the Grand Duke Marin of the North Sea Country, at the request of the Lapps and with the consent of the Holy See, decided to establish a Lapp-dominated village in the cold Arctic region. Emirate of Lapland, self-appointed chief. At the same time, Marin decided to build an ice and snow fortress in a place called Kirkenes in Lapland, and named it the "Ice Throne" as the political center for ruling Lapland. Moreover, Marin also plans to create a helmet called "Helm of Domination" and a two-handed sword called "Frostmourne" as a symbol of the power of the Emirate of Lapland...

As for why the Emirate of Lapland was established? In addition to the request of the Lapps, Marin also intends to spread Christianity among the Lapps and turn all Lapps into Christians. And this is why the Holy See supported him in establishing the Emirate of Lapland.

We all know this very well. After all, Sweden also annexed the land of the Finns under the pretext of missionary work. It's just that Sweden's annexation of Finland is envied by everyone, and Marin's annexation of a frost-covered land in the extreme north has aroused everyone's ridicule. In this regard, Marin has long expected...
