บท 215: The Side Quests

April 25th, 1801. 

At the Palace of Versailles. 

In his office, Napoleon reviewed the reports detailing the recent events in the Baltic Sea. He absorbed the aftermath of the Battle of Copenhagen: the British Baltic Fleet's victory and the subsequent bombardment of the Danish port city.

The heavy bombardment had severely damaged the Danish naval fleet, prompting the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway to officially declare war on the United Kingdom. Similarly, the Kingdom of Sweden had taken a stand against the United Kingdom as a response to the British Baltic Fleet's assault on their port city of Helsingborg.

As Napoleon read through the information, a brief chuckle escaped his lips. It appeared that the British government had inadvertently set its course for isolation from their neighboring nations. Their aggression had managed to rally previously neutral states into a collective front.
