Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 420 River Army Training

() On the strategic level, Ladislaus was worried that the King of France would provoke another war while preparing to attack Bohemia, which made Machiavelli puzzled. In his view, this was a typical unwise move.

However, at the tactical level, he still tried his best to serve Ladislaus' request. Regardless of the coldness of January, he inspected the shipyard on Danube Island again. This is the second time he has been on the island in a month. up.

This was a surprise visit, so Jevich was not on Danube Island, but was training together on a warship, but because of the drift ice, the fleet was operating very close to the port.

"General Jevic, you can ask me for any request, and I will do my best to meet it. Your Highness Habsburg once again, the combat effectiveness of the Danube Fleet is related to the survival of Austria." Now the Danube is full of rivers. Ice, Machiavelli's trip to the island was tantamount to a desperate attempt.

However, the Austrian navy is also desperate. Through the upstream observation post Jevich, the fleet will be driven out of the water camp for training on days when there is less drift ice.

"I need more soldiers, more warships, and more manpower to build more piers on the island, and the frequency of supply of meat and vegetables must be increased, not just one boat in half a month Supplies, the soldiers are not used to those spiny river fish." Jevich was not polite, his request was straightforward, that I wanted everything. "And what about my proposal to build a causeway connecting the island and the south coast to seal off drift ice? When can it be discussed at the State Council?"

"I have raised the salaries of the shipbuilders again, and the apprenticeship fees have also doubled. Those guys have been teaching their apprentices with more care." The little trouble caused by the Hohenzollern officer was for Machiavelli who had made up his mind. It was just a small problem. Although he has received certain setbacks recently, the relationship between Szastan and Anna is getting closer and closer, so that many of his original rights have been swallowed up by Machiavelli, and Machiavelli's power is still important. First.

"Your causeway has been directly vetoed by His Royal Highness Habsburg. I won't be going to the State Council for the time being. I'm here to inform you about it. I've told you that half of this winter is already over. This kind of It will take three years to plan, His Highness will not agree to it for the time being, His Highness's request is that all work should be effective as soon as possible."

"His Highness Habsburg's request has always been to form combat power this year, and the time is too tight." Ladislaus demanded that his fleet must become the most powerful force on the Danube in 1526.

"There are no combat-capable enemies on the Danube River. The last exercise you conducted was very good." Jevich was officially appointed as the commander of the river army precisely because the last actual combat training was well organized. In one step, he became the captain of the Army Coalition, and he became a figure at the same level as Frenzberg in terms of organizational structure, and had the right to report directly to Ladislaus.

This is why he can propose to Ladislaus, but he has no right to speak in the State Council.So he will contact Machiavelli, but Machiavelli has long predicted his failure.

Ladislaus was very dissatisfied with Jevich's long-term plan, but because he was young and had no political experience, the plan he made was indeed a strategy for the long-term interests of Austria, so he did not severely reprimand him, but let Machia Willie tried to comfort him as best he could.

No one would think that Jevich would be able to wrestle with Frundsberg, a member of the Austrian State Council, but in the long run Ladislaus did show that the navy should be at the same level as the army.

Although the river army will never be equal to the army, the Austrian nobles who saw the future of the river army poured in one after another.Now there are three lieutenants of Jevich, all of whom are Austrian nobles with strong backgrounds. If it weren't for Ladislaus's hard work in establishing this fleet in his eyes, he would The exiles of the Moscow Principality have long been peach-picked.

"There will be a new ship next month. By summer, your fleet can have ten warships, all of which are big guys close to 150 tons. There will also be a 45-ton flagship. The manpower saved after the mopping up of the city wall is over. I will give you priority. Supplies are also fine." Machiavelli's attitude was quite strong, and he said a few words to the butler who came with him. "Although my estate is not large, it is not a problem to supply you with Chinese cabbage at a reasonable price. A thaler is [-] pounds."

If Ladislaus is here, he will definitely stop this kind of government procurement without public bidding, although Machiavelli's offer is indeed a low price.

"I brought you two pigs on this ship, and you can get some spices in the officer's mess, but I can't give you more for the time being. You have to figure out your own way." Immediately make arrangements, and if you can’t do it, just don’t do it. As a leader, this is a very important advantage.

It is beyond Jevich's ability to compete with Frenzberg for the source of troops.But he does have some ideas.

"The newly acquired Treviso and Friuli should have Venetian water without unemployment, but they need the help of local officials to recruit them." Jevich's idea is good.

"This is very good. Unemployment water can easily immigrate to other countries or become a factor of social instability. It is also a good thing for the local bureaucrats that you can get them here. I will help you build a bridge." Building a bridge is only the first step, Mr. Some bureaucrats still have to be driven by profit.

Machiavelli didn't understand some things. After dealing with this Jevich during this period, he got to know this person somewhat. He is not a money-grubbing person, and money is only used as a tool rather than the meaning of existence.

Together with Boss Silica, he made a lot of money by destroying smugglers on the Danube, enough to open up joints.

"boom!"

Machiavelli and Jevich were talking when Jevich's flagship suddenly shook violently.

"Oops! We should have been hit. Excuse me. I need to overhaul." Jevich directly dropped Machiavelli and inspected the ship.

Machiavelli was pleased with the intensity of the training, which explains the recent maintenance bill he has received.

Machiavelli glanced at the soldiers of the river army around him. Obviously, they were used to this kind of thing. Machiavelli nodded in satisfaction, which shows that the training intensity is still sufficient.

As for the current issue of combat effectiveness, there is no way. The newly formed troops are in such a state, but what can happen on the Danube this year?

And even if Algorithm Francois really reneged on the contract, the Danube River Army would not need it.

But as usual Machiavelli kept his doubts about Ladislaus' plan deep in his heart.
