It was a long night, and it was almost dawn when I sent off my little brother Liti.

After working hard all night, Ladislaus naturally helped little brother Liti come up with an "other way" and even arranged the details.

This is actually the original intention of brother Riti, but betraying his father and betraying his motherland is never a simple decision, and it requires the help of some enthusiastic people to make up his mind.

"Should we recall Lord Oded Kessler?" Frunzberg found that the force they had seemed a bit insufficient to implement Ladislaus's plan.

Ladislaus waved his hand: "I have my own arrangements."

"Now that the Warlock Royal Family is at its peak, there is no need to make dangerous moves at this time." Count Slam, who was also mute for a night, could not help but express his opposition. After capturing the French King, the Spanish-Austrian Alliance seemed to be invincible.

Now, shouldn’t we maintain profits and maintain profits at this time?

They could not imagine that the heyday of the Habsburg Empire was so short, and that new forces would come from the east to restore the balance of power.

"The Kingdom of France will not surrender so easily. Even if we continue to detain the king, they will continue to fight against us. The Queen Mother of France has the ability to protect her grandson from taking the throne. This is an extraordinary woman." Ladislaus's thoughts.

The two subordinates were unable to keep up for a while.

Frunzberg was silent for a while before saying: "Are you saying that the peace talks will not succeed?"

"Maybe it will succeed, maybe it won't, but the contradiction has not changed. Unless we can invade Paris, France, with a population exceeding that of Spain and Austria combined, will always block any of our attempts." Ladislaus has never been a person.

optimist.

"Even so, the Kingdom of France is no longer our opponent. The quality of their troops is declining, and we have more and more elite veterans. No matter how they mobilize their armies, they will no longer be our elite opponents." Count Slam is now

I am very confident that his shooting skills played a great role in the Battle of Pavia. Several fortresses collapsed after their defenders were shot by him.

He clearly felt that the resistance ability and organizational efficiency of the French army were decreasing with the decrease in the proportion of veterans, and this proportion would continue to decrease due to the defeat of Pavia.

His idea is indeed correct, but it takes military into consideration and does not consider geopolitics.

"A mere tens of thousands of elites may be able to intimidate powerful enemies, but they are not enough to command the world. The Kingdom of France can find allies within the Holy Roman Empire, and Poland may also ally with the French." Ladislaus told Frunzberg.

This is a good opportunity to gain prestige in front of his subordinates. "But the real threat is the pagans in the East."

"Ottoman Empire?" Frundsberg said softly.

Earl Slam shook his head, and he used all his strength to control his urge to argue with the monarch.

"Slam, what do you think? Tell me and listen." Ladislaus didn't want to be surrounded by cautious politicians.

"I don't believe that France really dares to ally with the pagans. Even if they really dare to do so, then we should attack Savoy and Liguria to weaken France. Isn't going to war with Venice a waste of time?" Unlike politicians,

, Count Slam is still somewhat straightforward. If Ladislaus is polite to him, he will really tell all his true thoughts.

Ladislaus understood that although he had asked Sazastan to convince these officers, the idea seemed too tempting and too stubborn.

In fact, this is also a very popular idea within the Austrian army. After defeating Milan, most soldiers naturally want to go home.

However, most Austrian officers believed that peace talks should not be held at this time, but that they should join the Spanish army and turn west to march westward into France. In the eyes of most people, Savoy and Liguria were easy spoils.

In the eyes of many people, it is not impossible to conquer Paris in one fell swoop.

This is a natural but dangerous idea.

They cannot fathom the fact that Spain's fiscal situation is overstretched.

Another result of believing that their side has a huge advantage is that they believe that since the Habsburg family has given peace to France this time, the other side will definitely cherish this peace and it can last for at least more than ten years.

"After the Battle of Agincourt, the Kingdom of France was in danger, and the British army at that time was not a powerful force that shocked the past and the present. But how many more years did the Treaty of Troyes last? And if it really gets to that point, the Dark Sun will fully support it.

France will never tolerate any secular power dominating France. To destroy France is to destroy Rome.

Church. This is really a difficult task. No country on the continent of Europe can do this yet. Unless I have to, I never want to go against France and the elected Pope at the same time." Ladislaus did not think that peace could be achieved.

For such a long time, and the worry about the powerful enemy in the east made him unwilling to immediately arouse the Roman Church State to the opposite side.

Although she was eventually captured and executed by elites gathered in England and Burgundy, Joan of Arc has always been widely respected within the Roman Church, and she is generally considered to be the elect of Cyric.

There is no consensus on how to explain her mental problems. There is one of the most dangerous speculations, which the Roman Church hates so much, that Cyric has also seen the true nerve, and Joan's mental problems are actually a projection of Cyric's mental problems.

Although deep down he believed that he was not afraid of a woman being the commander-in-chief, Count Slam did not speak this time. Ladislaus's reasoning basically convinced him.

"However, after winning the field battle, we should seize the city as soon as possible. We must not forget the lesson of Hannibal's constant victory but in vain." Ladislaus continued, "It is only the fruit of the victory in the Battle of Pavia, not

The promise must be made to France, and the Republic of Venice must pay the price for its repeated plots against us."

"Not only the Roman Church, but also the Republic of Venice will instinctively oppose the dominant European power, which is today's sorcerer royal family." Frunzberg understood what Ladislaus meant. "Our victory

It will bring new enemies, and the Republic of Venice will no longer remain neutral. If Venice is really frightened, Consul Goriti should take the initiative to greet you at the border and provide military supplies."

"That's it. I don't want to fight the Roman Church, but if I have the chance to destroy it, I will never hesitate. In the same way, if I had a choice, I would certainly not go to war with Venice, but I would be able to concentrate my efforts on France.

But the choice is not mine

In this case, I will fight for the right to choose when to go to war." The arm that Ladislaus transformed into an "invitation to a feast" rubbed the two hundred thousand talevos presented by Goriti.
