Daming Crazy Emperor

Queen Anna came back again, and Felipe IV ran happily to the gate of the palace to greet her in person, and dragged her inside.

However, this time, there was a hint of dodge in his eyes.

That appearance, like a child who has made a mistake.

She raised this younger brother with her own hands, and Queen Anna could tell at a glance that this guy was a little abnormal.

However, she didn't say a word.

The two came to the familiar back garden, and after they sat down in the gazebo, Queen Anna straightened her face and said seriously, "Little Felipe, do you have something to hide from my sister?"

Uh, this.

Felipe IV was still as frightened as he was when he was a child, and said, "No, no."

Queen Anna still had a serious face and said, "What are you doing without you rubbing your hands?
Do you think my sister doesn't know?
Every time you do bad things without telling your sister, that little hand will not obey.

Come on, what the hell did you do? "

This cannot be said, absolutely cannot be said.

Felipe IV shook his head repeatedly and said, "Mom, I really didn't do anything."

Hmph, how dare you be dishonest.

Queen Anna raised her hand subconsciously, about to grab Philip IV's ear.

However, when she saw Felipe IV's mature face, she suddenly froze.

This little brother has grown up and is still the lord of a country. It seems that she can't teach him like a child.

She froze for a moment, and then said helplessly: "Little Felipe, you must have something to hide from my sister.

I heard people say that thousands of armed merchant ships flying the French flag suddenly appeared in the Mediterranean Sea, and these were all advanced ships.

France doesn't have so many advanced armed merchant ships at all, neither does Spain, nor does the entire continent of Europe.

Only the Ming Empire has so many advanced armed merchant ships in this world.

And the armed merchant ships of the Ming Empire must pass through the Strait of Gibraltar if they want to enter the Mediterranean Sea.

Would you not know about it? "

Uh, this.

Of course Felipe IV knew.

When he heard that the armed merchant ships of the Ming Empire were pulling black mercenaries to the mouth of the Nile, he gloated a lot.

He was quite embarrassed and said: "Mom, we Spain and the Ming Empire are still allies on the surface, we can't intercept their armed merchant ships."

It means you know everything!

Queen Anna looked up and down Felipe IV in surprise, and then couldn't help sighing: "Little Felipe, you have really grown up, and you know how to play tricks with your sister."

This seems a bit heavy!

Felipe IV quickly explained: "Mom, don't be angry, I also have my own difficulties.

What the Duke of Richelieu has done is too much, everyone has formed an alliance, and he even secretly fucked us.

Did you know that the 60 troops we attacked in West Africa were almost wiped out, and Wallenstein fled back with [-] cavalry.

This is all a good thing that old fox Richelieu did.

He clearly knew that the Ming Empire would not allow us to attack West Africa, but deliberately let Spain and the Holy Roman Empire attack West Africa. He just wanted to use the hands of the Ming Empire to weaken the strength of our Spain and the Holy Roman Empire! "

Well, so what if you know?

Queen Anna sighed leisurely: "My sister is not angry, you are for the interests of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, and Duke Richelieu is also for the interests of France.

You are not wrong, the Duke Richelieu is not wrong, everyone is not wrong.

This world is like this, where the weak eat the strong, and everyone wants to become the most powerful beast in the jungle.

My sister didn't mean to blame you either.

It's just that you shouldn't hide everything from your sister.

It is also true that you let the armed merchant ships of the Ming Empire bring black mercenaries into the Mediterranean to attack Cairo.

But, at least you should report to France!
You can use the hands of the Ming Empire to weaken France, but I don't blame you.

However, you can't leave France defenseless at all!
In this way, wouldn't it be you helping the Ming Empire weaken France's strength? "

Felipe IV was stunned, he thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there any difference?"

You are still a little childish.

Queen Anna had no choice but to teach patiently: "This difference is huge.

If you report a letter to France, then France will try its best to guard Cairo.

In this way, the Ming Empire or the mercenaries backed by the Ming Empire will fight the anti-Habsburg alliance.

Regardless of the final outcome, the strength of the Ming Empire and the anti-Habsburg alliance will be weakened.

This is in the best interest of Spain and the Holy Roman Empire.

You don't say anything, just let the Ming Empire secretly drag people to the mouth of the Nile River, and attack Cairo. Do you know what the result will be?

As a result, you only weakened the strength of France, Tsarist Russia, and the Ottoman Empire, and the Ming Empire did not suffer any losses at all.

My sister has already told you that the Ming Empire is not the same as us, they are our biggest enemies.

Although the Anti-Habsburg Alliance is not our real ally, you can use the hands of the Anti-Habsburg Alliance to weaken the Ming Empire.

Your mistake is that you shouldn't be completely on the side of the Ming Empire, you know?

Even if you are enemies on both sides, you should lean slightly towards the anti-Habsburg alliance.

Because the Ming Empire is too powerful, if you can't use the anti-Habsburg alliance to weaken the strength of the Ming Empire, Spain and the Holy Roman Empire are no opponents of the Ming Empire at all.

Do you understand it? "

She was really helpless, for the sake of her precious son, she couldn't completely stand on the side of her younger siblings, but she also didn't want her younger siblings to suffer.

Fortunately, everyone still has a common enemy, and they haven't reached the point of complete confrontation. She can try her best to consider for both sides.

If there was no common enemy of the Ming Empire, she would have to choose to support one side and suppress the other.

By that time, she would not be helpless, but in pain.

Hearing this, Felipe IV started rubbing his hands again.

Queen Anna was right, he really shouldn't be so shady this time.

He should remind France to let the anti-Habsburg alliance and the Ming Empire go dog-eat-dog!
However, he did not expect that the Ming Empire would be so powerful that it would take down the important city of Cairo in one fell swoop.

He rubbed his hands for a while before asking awkwardly: "Mom, it's all like this now, what should we do?"

This Queen Anna has already thought about it.

She said without hesitation: "You should block the Strait of Gibraltar and prevent the ships of the Ming Empire from passing through, so as to cut off Cairo's backup.

Then, you're sending a little Ironclad to help the Anti-Habsburg Coalition take back Cairo.

Of course, you don't have to go all out, let alone send the army to support it.

In this way, the Ming Empire, France, Tsarist Russia, and the Ottoman Empire will all suffer heavy losses, and you can just watch the show from the sidelines. "

Uh, blockade the Strait of Gibraltar?

Felipe IV started rubbing his hands again, faster this time.

Seeing this, Queen Anna couldn't help but asked curiously: "Little Felipe, what's the matter with you, why are you rubbing your hands all the time?
You don't have anything to hide from your sister, do you? "

Uh, this.

Felipe IV hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and explained: "Mom, Ceuta has been captured by black mercenaries, we can't block it at all!

Therefore, what happened in Cairo cannot be completely blamed on me.

The armed merchant ships of the Ming Empire went to the south of the strait, and we don't know what they pulled into the Mediterranean Sea.

I didn't expect that the important city of Cairo would be so vulnerable that it would fall so quickly. "

Ah!
When Queen Anna heard this, she couldn't help being shocked and said, "What's going on?

Why did such an important place of Ceuta fall?

Don't you know the importance of Ceuta?

That is the back door of our Continental Union! "

Felipe IV said helplessly: "Mom, I can't help it, those mercenaries are well equipped, and their strength is several times that of ours.

After the Duke of Richelieu cheated our 60 army, our strength is not even as good as those mercenaries.

They directly pulled tens of thousands of artillery pieces to the hills around Ceuta and blasted the city fiercely. We couldn't resist it at all! "

Has the situation gotten so bad?

Spain and the Holy Roman Empire are even worse than mercenaries!

Queen Anna frowned and pondered for a while, before asking: "How many troops do those mercenaries have?"

Felipe IV said dejectedly: "I'm not very clear about this, anyway, what we saw is no less than 200 million."

200 million mercenaries!

The main force of the French army trapped in Africa is really dangerous.

Queen Anna was so angry that she straightened her face and said seriously: "Why didn't you say it earlier, you will kill everyone like this, do you know that?
With 200 million mercenaries and tens of thousands of artillery pieces, if the Ming Empire joins forces with these mercenaries to attack Europe, who can stop them?
Can you stop it? "

This time she was really angry.

Felipe IV was frightened again and said, "Mom, what should we do now?"

How to do?
Queen Anna frowned and pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "You immediately send all the armored warships to help, and you must help the anti-Habsburg alliance to take Cairo back.

If the coalition forces of France, Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire are besieged by these mercenaries again, the European continent will be in danger! "

Send all the Ironclads to help?

Useless!
Felipe IV said weakly: "Mom, they have sharp weapons against ironclad warships.

Eighteen of the [-] ironclad warships we had stayed in North Africa to guard were instantly ignited, and only two escaped back.

Now we have a total of 230 or two armored warships. If they come to ten rounds, we may be finished. "

you!
Queen Anna is so angry.

She said coldly with a straight face: "Little Felipe, how many things do you still keep from your sister?"

This is extremely angry, if it were changed to when he was a child, his ears would probably be cut off.

Felipe IV touched his ears subconsciously, and after thinking about it carefully, he said honestly: "I sent Wallenstein to the west of the Holy Roman Empire to recruit mercenaries. He said that he could recruit at least 100 million soldiers. The mercenaries will be used as cannon fodder, and there will be nothing else."

Wallenstein?

Queen Anna immediately warned: "This Wallenstein is less honest than you, you have to be careful."

Uh, am I being dishonest?
Felipe IV said weakly: "Mom, I will be careful.

Wallenstein will stop talking for now, what shall we do now? "

How to do?
Ironclad battleships have encountered their nemesis, what else can they do?

No matter how shrewd Queen Anna was, facing such a corrupt situation, she would not be able to think of a solution for a while.
