Chapter 635 Fire Fighting
"Your Majesty, on behalf of Sicily, I protest to your country. Sicily was originally a peaceful country, but because of King Laszlo's orders, the Sicilian people have been oppressed for more than a decade. Now, Sicily has the right to choose its own future."

"It turns out that your own future is to rejoin Aragon. Wasn't my father good to you? Everything you enjoy today was given to you by your father. How dare you say that you want to decide the future of Sicily? Shameless!"

Peter rebuked these Sicilian representatives, saying that they were all villains, insects, and shameless guys. The rebellion was already annoying enough, and then someone came to the wedding and said that as long as he recognized the treaty, they would still be under the rule of Naples.

He had never seen such shameless people. It seemed that his father was too lenient with them. These people should be completely eradicated without leaving a single one alive.

"Can I understand that Your Highness has rejected the proposal?"

"You don't need to understand. You are so shameless as to say that this is for a better future. If father knew, he would definitely kill you all."

"Oh your majesty, how can you say such a thing."

"Now, you'd better leave here, otherwise I'm not sure if you can continue to live."

Peter drove the enemy away, and he was determined to solve the problem by force. The Neapolitan navy entered the Strait of Messina and sent reinforcements to Palermo.

Ferdinand of Aragon has already gone to Sardinia, and it seems that he is going to annex it. Peter only needs to keep Sicily to win.

----------

The Romanian emperor returned to his loyal Constantinople, and this time he still gained a lot of benefits. Romania's influence can be extended to Krakow, which is very helpful to consolidate its position.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your triumphant return."

Batista congratulated Peter, saying that under his leadership the empire had always been victorious.

"Don't say so much. The Crown Prince has already sent a letter to tell me. What is the situation now?"

Peter was worried about the sudden incident in Naples. He thought he could deal with the Arabs, but then there was another problem in the west. As the firefighter, he could only keep mobilizing troops, which was really difficult.

"Sicily and Sardinia have already rebelled, and Aragon may make a big move. Genoa is secretly using ships to transport supplies. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered the Roman army to move south, and our navy in Gibraltar has also begun to assist the garrison in Palermo."

It seems that this is a general outbreak of conflicts in the Mediterranean, with Aragon taking the lead and Genoa and other countries secretly supporting it.

These countries are old acquaintances. It seems that Genoa also wants to restore its former glory. And now it is these two countries, maybe there will be more, Savoy, Milan, Castile, and even France and the Holy Roman Empire. A single move affects the whole body, and now he finally knows it. "Fortunately, Alexander did a good job in this matter. Now send someone to Barcelona to persuade the king to leave. If it doesn't work, I don't mind going there in person to persuade him."

Peter has always made decisions personally, and he believes that he will be more efficient if he personally persuades others than if others do it.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Naples requested that you go there in person to express support for the new king."

Peter had a good impression of his nephew, so he agreed to go after this was over.

"How has the Crown Prince behaved during my absence?"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has handled everything very well. There was a famine in Damascus, and it was His Majesty who ordered the relief."

Batista has done a great job as regent for Alexander these days. Romania doesn't have many wars to fight now, so the crown prince is naturally impeccable in domestic affairs. He may be a little lacking in military affairs.

"He is a good successor, but he needs more experience." This is what Peter said.

"I hope this doesn't disrupt plans in Jerusalem."

"Your Majesty, everything is going well. The navy in Aden has basically taken control of the situation. All drinking water, food and weapons have been delivered to the area. We are very confident that we can end the war within half a year."

Half a year, this was in line with Peter's expectations. But he extended it to a year and a half. Fighting in the desert is not as fast as fighting in the plains or forests. This is a long process. Only by constantly occupying strongholds can the enemy be forced to surrender.

"The speed at which Mecca rose was so fast that the empire lost half of its territory and destroyed Persia. This can only be called a miracle."

It took less than 80 years for the Arabs to rise from their birth to their rise. In addition to the fact that Persia and Rome suffered losses in the war, the improvement of weapons, the improvement of military theoretical knowledge, and the search for suitable combat tools and methods according to the environment are all the reasons why the Arabs are superior to other countries in military. With an advanced military system, the Arabs have the hard conditions for their rise.

In the wars of foreign expansion, the Arab Empire did not carry out massacres and suppression like other brutal invaders, but supported and protected the industries and agriculture of those countries. This naturally made the people of the defeated countries who thought they were doomed to die applaud, so they were more willing to engage in production and willingly pay taxes to the Arabs who invaded them.

The long-term war gradually weakened the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire. War consumes a lot of a country's strength. At this time, the people of the two empires were very disappointed with their rulers' behavior of waging war year after year. They gradually developed a favorable impression of the policies of the Arab countries, because there were no wars in Arabia and no other heavy taxes, so they were the kind of people who were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han.

Obviously, multiple factors such as military, economy, and external conditions created the later Arab Empire. But in fact, the rise of the empire is more about internal optimization. Strong military conditions, enlightened economic policies, and trust between rulers and the people are the most important conditions for the success of the Arab Empire.
