Warlock Royal Family

() No matter how long the Knights of the Hospitaller can persist, the head of the De Frisch branch will do his best to save his comrades in dire straits. <>

The head of De Frisch, who can also be regarded as a political player, figured out in a few days that it was the Austrian side that was delaying the rescue operation. In the first meeting, Hungary was repeatedly discredited, but it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that Hungary is actually eager to attack the Ottoman Empire from the perspective of interests.

He wanted to kneel in front of the Imperial Palace in Vienna to beg Austria to send troops. Of course His Royal Highness Frundsberg would not let this happen. The disabled hospital knight was "supported" by him to rest.

But as long as he doesn't do anything disgraceful, Ladislaus is still willing to meet him, and then say, "Austria is wholeheartedly wanting to conquer the East, and the troublemakers are" anyway, there are still a few countries involved in the next few days. A France colluding with the Ottoman Empire has become a scapegoat for Ladislaus.

Ladislaus knew very well that De Frisch knew that Austria was the real obstructer, but none of them could explain this plain fact, because this is not a political game.

But in the end, things did change, which proved why this set of lies that couldn't deceive the other party had to be told back and forth. Austria is really not the last force that wants Spain's Eastern Mediterranean strategy to succeed.

The Republic of Venice was also very, very supportive of this great crusade, but the Consul of Goriti very, very regretfully refused to place his fleet under the unified command of the Spanish commander.

Treasurer Fugger jumped back and forth between Venice and Vienna, trying to coordinate the positions of all parties. Although he was nervous, Ladislaus reassured him that the delay might not be a bad thing.

The longer it drags on, the more exhausted the troops of the Ottoman Empire will be. Even if the fortress of the Knights Hospitaller on Rhode Island is conquered, once Spain and Venice reach an agreement and establish a sufficiently powerful joint fleet, as long as they win the naval battle, It does not change the ending that the Ottoman Empire will be hit hard.

Throughout the rest of November, diplomats from various so-called true God believer countries were busy exchanging terms and bargaining with each other. By the end of the month, the Spanish envoys had at least settled the true election of the pope.Although I also don't want Spain to further expand its power, but the name of "jihad" is suppressed, even the old and cunning Pope Medici has nothing to do. He can only issue a harsh edict requesting European countries to assist the Hospital Knight Peace during regimental battles, or you will be punished with excommunication.Removes the vassal's duty of loyalty to the monarch.Release the people from their tax obligations to the sovereign.

This waiting seems to have turned out to be a good thing. More and more Spanish battleships gathered in the Port of Naples. Even His Majesty Ferdinand personally led the ship "Holy Trinity" to Naples. The question of the Venetian command power gradually turned to A deal is approaching.Spain made certain concessions in terms of command power in exchange for the financial support of the Republic of Venice. One-third of the expenses this time will be borne by the Venetians, and the true election of the pope, although he is very reluctant, has no choice but to promise one-sixth of the cost.

Ladislaus' asking price was also satisfied, no matter how much territory Hungary seized from the East, he could get compensation from the Croatian region.Lands equivalent to one-third of the newly conquered areas would be transferred to him.

This agreement was very unfavorable to the Croatian negotiator Federtaler, so he tried his best to obstruct it. After he was replaced, the agreement was formally reached, although it wasted another half a month.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, Rhodes Island is surrounded by groups, not Vienna.

The happy event of Ladislaus did not stop there. In order to urge him to lead the army east to meet the Hungarians, the treasurer of Fugger successively allocated 20 thalers of silver coins and more than [-] thalers of spices and dyes.

The reason why Treasurer Fugger is so generous is that the prospect is becoming clearer and clearer, and all the countries of true God believers on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea have been united by his diplomatic skills.However, the force of the Ottoman Empire is being exhausted by more than half a year of siege, and an unprecedented victory is approaching the Kingdom of Spain.

More and more reliable information shows that although the Knights Hospitalier seems to be shaky after the long-term siege, the Ottoman Empire's army is actually at the end of its strength and can no longer organize a strong attack. The last blow to overthrow the enemy is no matter what I can't exert myself anymore.

The unfavorable factors that threatened the hospital knights in the castle were doubly unfavorable to them in the wilderness camp.

Although it is surrounded by islands.So a 20 army does not need the same number of civilians, but only 20 people are enough to create a mountain of garbage and a lake of feces, although Suleiman and his generals did their best to provide better food for the soldiers and medicine, but the long-term siege still caused the plague to spread in the camp.

The lack of fuel, which worried De Frisch, made the Ottomans even more helpless.There are simply not enough plants on the island, and transportation from the mainland is even more impossible.

The temporarily collected merchant ships have already been returned to their owners.The economy of the Ottoman Empire is very dependent on the economic cycle of the two territories of Europe and Asia, and His Majesty Suleiman cannot bear the loss of cutting off his own blood.

Although the Ottoman fleet is huge and all of them are professional warships without other commercial purposes, the long-term supply of 20 troops has also pushed this fleet to its limit, and it is too difficult to increase fuel.

More and more warships need to return to the port for maintenance, the decline of the navy has affected the supply of the army, and the scale advantage held by the Ottomans is constantly weakening.

After several studies, the generals decided that as long as the naval battle was not successful, even if an elite army of [-] to [-] landed on Rhodes Island, it would be possible to defeat an opponent that was ten times their size but had lost all vigor. The Ottoman army is likely to be wiped out.

At that time, not only Austria and Hungary will send troops, but other countries on the border of the Ottoman Empire, even the countries of the Star-Moon Church will unceremoniously launch a siege. It is said that there is a country called Persia in the east of the Ottoman Empire. thriving.

Even if such a powerful country loses 20 main forces and a large number of leaders are besieged, it will be difficult to survive. Even if the central area can be preserved, most of the border areas will definitely be lost.

Fugger expected that Spain would become the sole overlord of the Mediterranean, and the countless gold and silver brought by countless waterways would fill Madrid's coffers.

The nobles of Austria and Hungary are also looking forward to sure to get a large piece of land.

It's just that Ladislaus doesn't seem to agree with everyone, and he is the least optimistic of them all: "There are many plans and wishes in life that cannot be realized." Especially these plans and wishes and Suleiman A time when Sudan's plans and wishes collided.

Although Ladislaus' point of view was supported in person, in fact, in the eyes of his ministers, their monarch just wanted to stop working after receiving the down payment.

In Li Di's history, Suleiman enjoyed the title of Great Emperor, and was considered not only the Star-Moon Church, but also one of the great monarchs in the history of all mankind. Ladislaus had a strong feeling that such a prestigious name was not a fluke .
