The reopening of Medici Bank has brought another effect.

In the past, in order to win over the Laziviu family in Lithuania, Qitad promised to let Timur's son Victor Nicholas (the eldest son of Timur and Benetita, Qitad's third brother Timur and Benetita) marry Russia as adults.

Caroline, daughter of Carol Raziviu, a senior official appointed by Lithuanian Province.

Victor and Caroline were both born in 1766, and are both fifteen years old this year. Although according to Truchen's regulations, Victor has not reached the age to marry, the current situation in Europe is too tense and weird.

He had to start reexamining one thing.

Although the in-laws were agreed early in the morning, as time passed, both parties were observing and weighing that if Carol insisted on this marriage, he would face the blame from Russia, France, Austria, and Spain.

He, a high-ranking official in Lithuanian Province, is very likely to be unable to achieve his position and can only go into exile in other countries.

However, with the reopening of Medici Bank and the growing up of the Raziviu family, it means that the Raziviu family has gained a foothold in the Italian Peninsula, although there are still some banks on the Lower Peninsula nowadays

, but its capital scale is obviously not as large as that of the Medici.

There are many small countries on the Italian peninsula. They obviously have no intention of annexing each other, and they all focus on defending the pope and making money.

The Pope also has to contribute a lot of money every year, so making money became the only option.

If Truchen had not appeared, in order to survive, these small countries would have brought a powerful country as a protector for survival, and they would have no exception. They were France, Spain and Austria.

But with the emergence of Truchen and its dominant position in the Mediterranean, these small countries naturally would not be humble enough to surrender to Truchen, but maintaining neutrality became the wisest choice.

This is actually the most beneficial to Truchen, and they wish that all small European countries would be neutral.

Medici Bank is just the first step, marriage is the second step.

Russia is not the powerful Soviet Union in later generations, but the weakened Tsarist Russian Empire. Therefore, although Lithuania, Eastern Poland, Belarus, Latvia, and Estonia under their control are temporarily dormant under their tyranny, they are still

Maintained a certain degree of independence.

The Tsar had to choose the local prestigious nobles to serve as high-ranking officials to stabilize the place.

The most critical one is Lithuania, which has established the United Kingdom with Poland and was once one of the European powers. The Teutonic Knights had to tremble under their horses.

Also, with France's rebellion, Qitad's trust in European countries reached a freezing point.

Although Frederick II of the Kingdom of Prussia publicly claimed to withdraw from the anti-Spian alliance, who knows what trouble would happen to him?

According to the news obtained by Spy Truchenmi, Frederick has cast 1,500 new artillery in the past ten years, one third of which are howitzers. According to Prussian practice, an artillery battalion has twenty field artillery guns.

, then there should be seventy-five artillery battalions in the country.

This artillery configuration has caught up with the wealthy Truchen. According to the military system of Truchen, a division is equipped with an artillery regiment, which adds up to more than one hundred artillery regiments, but it needs to cover such a vast territory.

In fact, it is similar to Prussia.

You should know that the population of the Truchen Empire is nearly four times that of Prussia!

Of course, this has a lot to do with Prussia's complete acquisition of Saxony and Silesia.

In the past, in order to find a reliable ally in Europe, although he defeated the Prussians several times, Qitad did not ask Frederick for much. However, Russia and Prussia are now closely related, and Frederick suddenly withdrew from the anti-Spian alliance.

Who knows it's not a trap?

Things in the world are like chess games, and Qitade must refocus on it.

After Bogda agreed on the big event, in addition to visiting Florence in person to witness Paul's rise and the resumption of the Medici Bank, he also sent a waiter to Carol.

After Russia took over Lithuania, although Carol was appointed as a senior official in Vilnius Province, there were actually others in charge. Carol was a puppet, and he still lived in his lair Kaunas.

The envoy was Truchen's ambassador to Poland, and since he actually controlled Portugal, he no longer had to serve as ambassador there and was changed to Ambassador to Poland.

Before secretly heading to Kaunas, Baughler met with the Polish king Kazimiri.

Kazimiz is 36 years old this year. Since he did not go to the mainland of the United States, he is living well now and has not died of injury.

He started to come into contact with the Truqin Empire at the age of fifteen. Twenty years later, the weight of Truqin naturally became more and more important in his mind.

Nowadays, he only owns half Poland, no, half Poland is not considered a five province, only Krakow, Czestochova, Rhodes, Warsaw and Lublin.

The area east of the Vistula is controlled by the Russians, and other places west of the Prussians.

Kazimiri was obviously dissatisfied with this situation, but he asked himself that he would not be able to do it if he had to deal with the powerful Prussia and Russia at the same time.

Therefore, only by completely resigning to Truchen can there be hope. In the process of fighting side by side with the Truchens, the father of the later American cavalry also realized that only the Truchens have the ability to face two at the same time.

Country.

According to one of the last treaty reached with Russia and Prussia, although Poland has no ports in the Baltic Sea, Truchen's merchant ships can dock in Gdansk and Konisburg and enter Warsaw along the Vistula River.

/p>

The appearance of Baughler made Kazimi Hitachi understand that his opportunity has come. He cannot recover all Polish territory and has a Baltic estuary.

At this time, with the assistance of the Truchens, Kazimiri had formed a regular army and another old-fashioned army in China. Obviously, the new army is used to go out for war, while the old-fashioned army is used to

Guarding the place.

After a secret discussion with Kazimiz, Baughler boarded a ship with the Polish flag and headed north, and soon arrived in Konisburg.

Konisburg is the capital of East Prussia under the Kingdom of Prussia. Due to the intervention of the Russians, its territory was divided into two parts. In the cold winter, due to the frozen coastal areas, it can only travel by land and must cross the Russians.

Controlled territory.

This is also one of the reasons for the friendship between Russia and Prussia today.

The Laziviu family is a famous European family. Although it is unknown in the current European political arena, far less than Frederick's Hohenzollern family, but because its branches are spread throughout Europe, most of them have aristocratic titles, and most people are really

Don't dare to provoke them.

So it was normal for him to own a manor in Konesburg.

Following Baogler is also Kazimiri's envoy.

In the end, the three parties reached a secret agreement.

Of course, the premise of this secret discussion is naturally the marriage of Victor and Caroline.

After the secret discussion was reached, the three parties seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Since Lithuania does not border Truchen, in order to complete the marriage as soon as possible, Baogler proposed that Kazimiri accept Caroline as his adopted daughter, and named her Princess Przemehir, and asked Baogler to do so.

Bring Caroline back to Poland.

Baogler's ship set off with shallow water, but when he returned, it became much deeper - it was obvious that Carol prepared a generous dowry for his dear daughter.

Carol was not afraid that his motherland would follow in Portugal's footsteps because Baugler brought Qitad's oral instructions.

"Once the war breaks out, our country will assist Poland in regaining its lost territory, making Lithuania independent, and supporting the reorganization of the two countries"

As for Truchen himself, in addition to continuing to maintain friendly relations and even alliances with the future United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, he also set his sights on Konisburg!

Rather than relying on others, it is better to occupy a piece of space yourself.

The Truqin Empire now has a much stronger position in Europe than the Soviet Union in later generations. The Soviets could occupy Konisberg, could the Truqins not do it?

The marriage was negotiated there, and the Qitad on this side also officially named Victor Prince Sardin. Now Victor still lives in Lisbon with his mother Benetita.

For Qitad, although he has always insisted on the strategy of tolerance, it will not be like this when war comes. Moreover, Europe is getting closer to the Europe he had previously expected, so we must take the lead in making some things.

What, instead of just waiting.

On the border between Truchen and Russia, the Truchen people set up a large number of defense facilities, but that was not the Maginot line of defense, they could only defend passively. Isn’t this line of defense also a trick of Qitad?

Nowadays, he has arranged a regular army and a militia army in Voronesh. In Kursk, Saratov has a regular division and a militia division, and Kret has a regular army in the rear.

He also built a large-scale construction in Voronesh, which at first glance made people manage Voronesh as the center of gravity. In Kiev, there is only one regular teacher at the junction of Belarus, Truchen and Russia.

Militia Division.

If you stand in the position of the Russians, you will naturally avoid the real and fight against the virtual.

Moreover, the breadth and density of forests at the junction of the Three Kingdoms are no less than near Moscow, and a large number of troops can be hidden secretly.

Qitade had long expected this, but for the sake of safety, he still sent a camel hunter to investigate.

The real and real are the real and the Eastern people are familiar with their skills. When it comes to strategies and tactics, Europeans are still far from it.

Once the focus of the war is near Kiev, Poland must be brought in, and once Poland joins the war, Frederick may not be able to bear it.

Also, the establishment of that line of defense seems to indicate that the Truchens can only focus on defense. In fact, whether Qitad defends or attacks is both different.

It is the end of September now, and it is late autumn in Europe. In October in northern Europe, heavy snow comes at any time, but the complete freezing of the Baltic Sea will have to wait until November.
