Warlock Royal Family

() After reconfirming that Austria will definitely support sending troops to rescue Rhode Island, the De Frisch knight left under the escort of several guards.

"In any case, this knight is very valuable." After several trials, Szastan confirmed that Ladislaus still needs him. His performance is worthy of being a politician. put in the work.

"Are you not interested in supporting the Knights Hospitaller?" Although Ladislaus tossed Szastan, he still really valued the other party's opinion.

"How this matter proceeds depends only on His Majesty Ferdinand's decision. If His Majesty the Emperor is still stationed in the Netherlands, then it is impossible to gather the main force of the Spanish overseas fleet to rescue the Hospitaller Knights. The navies of other European countries are not combined with the Ottoman Empire. Opponent." Sazastan seemed not very optimistic.

"I never asked you, how much would it cost the Kingdom of Spain to assemble a main fleet?" Sazastan was the most qualified person in the world to answer this question.

"The cost of assembly is very high, very high. The Spanish overseas fleet with more than fifteen galleons and nearly a hundred large or giant sailing ships is the most important property of the Kingdom of Spain. These fleets are not only the pillars of force but also economic ties Last year, the Kingdom of Spain received 50 talers worth of gold and silver and rare output of the same value from the New World. I expect this number to double in five years and eventually reach more than 200 million. Of course, the governors of the New World also need With the weapons, armor, horses and personnel supplies provided by the mainland, the New World is a brand new world. If it were me, I would never suggest that His Majesty the Emperor risk losing a world to save a tiny island, even Venice and Liguria The fleet does not have such important economic value as the Spanish Kingdom’s overseas fleet.” Even if he is no longer the Prime Minister of Spain, Sarzastan can still show his enthusiasm for the cause of the Kingdom of Spain. After all, the Austrian-Spanish alliance is fully guaranteed. On the one hand, it is common The enemy, on the one hand, is the royal family of the same surname.

"However, the Spanish fleet may not be unable to interfere in Mediterranean affairs in the future. When I was in Spain, I planned to promote a plan to gather the ships of the Kingdom of Spain that can cross the Atlantic Ocean, and use Seville or Cadiz Port as the base camp every year. When they leave for the New World and cross the ocean, they disband and go to their respective destinations. On the return journey, they regroup in Havana or Vera Cruz and return to Europa together. This can greatly improve efficiency and safety, and can greatly reduce the proportion of smuggling trade. Come more taxes. This kind of organized fleet is two rounds away. It can go to war directly, avoiding protracted gatherings and delays."

This is indeed a great idea, so that the Spanish fleet can play a military and economic role at the same time.

"Treasure Fleet!" Ladislaus suddenly realized that this plan was a great action that would forever be recorded in the history of the navy in the future.

"That's right, the Treasure Fleet. The name is really good. The treasures of the New World will improve Spain's financial situation, and the emperor will definitely benefit you." Although Sazastan tried his best to withhold the subsidies that Spain gave to Austria in the past, , but since then his mission has been reversed.

"Haha, this kind of thing is too far away. And we are too far away from the topic." Ladislaus motioned Margarita to pour another glass of wine for His Royal Highness Sazastan, "Then it is only for the Knights Hospitaller Can you watch him fend for himself?"

"It's the same sentence. Let His Majesty the Emperor decide, we just need to express our sympathy and moral support. Anyway, we really can't help, but we must be prepared to receive the property of the Knights of the Hospitaller in the Holy Roman Empire. Then The head of the De Frisch branch seems to be a very loyal and determined person, will he support us?"

Many German nobles, big and small, donated some land and property to the Knights at the same time as sending their second sons to the Knights. Although it was fragmentary, it was a huge sum accumulated over hundreds of years.

Both the Teutonic Knights and the Hospitallers have extensive properties in Germany.

"No, no. Captain De Frisch is a strong but not stubborn person. Since the Knights Hospitaller seems to be dying, he will not go against the current, not to mention that his support will be properly rewarded. I I have an old relationship with him, and he will definitely not refuse to exchange the property of the Knights Order for my support of his family. When Jones returns from Naples, I will ask him to check if there is anything for the Chad Frisch family. material."

"Haha. Your Highness is wise." Sazastan immediately flattered him.

"Not only do I want to take over all the inheritance in Austria, but I also want to intervene in all other territories in the Holy Roman Empire. His Majesty Ferdinand's position can be used by me." Appeals can be helpful.

"However, it is very difficult to manage those small territories, and the major princes will definitely unite to oppose the expansion of the Habsburg family's territory." Those are only a few tens of acres.Donations from several shops are difficult to accept and the cost is too high.

"I just want to go through one hand. With the support of the head of De Frisch, every nobleman who wants to get these lands wants my acquiescence. If they want me to sign a letter, they can't make my hard work in vain. "

Margarita discovered that after studying the two wolves for half a day, she developed a plan to "prepare to divide the inheritance" in response to the drowning man's request for help.

Compared with all kinds of helplessness and resignation during the "rescue", the inspiration when "dividing money" is really full.

Although the two scoundrels clashed fiercely yesterday, since the gods of the two sides still believe that cooperation is the mainstream, both sides naturally restrained their demands for the time being and reached a compromise, and devoted themselves so enthusiastically to the common cause so soon.

Her chest has been leaning against Ladislaus' arm for a long time. He kept pinching it when he was researching the rescue plan, but after entering the study of the carve-up plan, the man hardly responded. It seems that compared with the hospital Legacy of the Knights The two who were called "the whitest and most charming good friends" by Ladislaus last night were helplessly defeated.

But of course she was wise enough to keep her mouth shut. Ladislaus had done her such a favor by allowing her to listen, and it would be a crime if she dared to speak.

What's more, this is a normal thing in life, and weakness breeds greed rather than sympathy.

She just silently poured another glass of wine for the two of them.

Then I just listened quietly to their further research on how much meat was in the corpse of the Knights Hospitaller.
