Chapter 369 Attacking the Anchorage

..om Until Ladislaus and Brother Riti arrived outside the naval port, the Venetian navy was huddled in the port and did not dare to show its head.

The situation was extremely bad for the Venetians.

'How could such a large fleet arrive at the northernmost tip of the Adriatic Sea without a trace? There must be an interest group in the Republic of Venice that is a traitor and cooperated to block the news. Is he a traitor? Or is he a traitor?' All

Venetian naval officers were thinking about this problem.

Coupled with the internal fighting between various forces tonight, everyone is worried that they will be excluded from the cabal, and everyone is worried that the people around them are enemies.

Everyone is worried about whether their family can be saved.

But for Ladislaus, the situation is definitely not easy.

After meeting with Ladislaus, Sazastan did not exchange greetings. He immediately said eagerly: "Your Highness, this is too dangerous. Such a large fleet cannot hide from the Ottomans who control Greece and Albania. They

It is very likely that we will attack behind the Spanish fleet, and the Spanish fleet may be flanked by the Venetians and Ottomans."

Not only did Sazastan disapprove of this risky strategy, he was even more dissatisfied with Ladislaus for not informing him of this matter.

As a member of the State Council accompanying the army and a former Spanish boss, he not only did not participate in contact with Spain but was not even aware of the matter, which really made him very angry.

Was it the Spanish contacted by the Hohenzollern officer who left earlier? Or was it the coordination carried out by Machiavelli in Vienna?

Is it because of his long-term record as Spanish Prime Minister that Ladislaus is unwilling to trust himself when it comes to Spanish interests?

"I am very shocked and disappointed that you did not inform me of this matter. Your Highness, although I once served as Prime Minister of Spain, I am now a subject of Austria, and my loyalty to you is wholehearted." Sazhastan decided.

Express your attitude openly and honestly. This is no small matter. For any minister, the monarch's trust is a matter of life and death.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my plan was so perfect that even you could be fooled." Ladislaus's reply was completely unexpected. He waved his hand. "Please come with me."

Sazastan followed Ladislaus into a villa on the beach owned by the Goriti family. His doubts disappeared completely as soon as he entered the room.

There are magic circles and people he is very familiar with here.

"His Highness Habsburg, His Highness Sazastan."

"Your Highness Misrilla."

"Your Highness Misrilla."

The lovers had not seen each other for a long time, but in front of everyone, Sazastan and Misrilla bowed to each other calmly.

They have gone through countless storms and twists and turns together. The separation for this little time is no big deal.

"I also think that it is too dangerous to send the Spanish Navy rashly between the Venetian Navy and the Ottoman Navy. I think His Majesty the Emperor will think so too. I think even if Venice Island is given to Spain, His Majesty the Emperor will not agree to this plan.

But I don’t need His Majesty the Emperor’s help.” Ladislaus said with high spirits.

Not to mention whether Ferdinand was willing to put his fleet in such a dangerous situation, even if the Republic of Venice could be destroyed with the help of Spain, Ladislaus and Austria would only get a little bit of Spain's mouth.

This is determined by the comparison of the national strength of Spain and Austria. Any emotional ties, negotiation methods, and astute planning are not enough to offset this gap in strength.

The capture of King Francois gave Spain unprecedented freedom of action. This monster would take most of any profit it handled.

What's more, the two sides also had serious conflicts over the issue of inheritance. His Majesty Ferdinand never publicly recognized Ladislaus' hereditary power over Austria.

Ladislaus could never accept Spain gaining a stronghold on the Adriatic, any more than the Ottomans could.

Especially since Ferdinand recently had his first son.

During the last battle when escorting a Spanish princess to a pirate raid, Ladislaus was still deeply impressed by her illusions, even though many Spanish officers reported afterwards that Misrilla's performance was very poor and her private life was absurd.

That time it was for emergency use. This time Ladislaus gave her tens of thousands of talers and sufficient preparation time. Both the scale and the lighting effect were better than the last time, successfully frightening the Venetian fleet.

The anchorage.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. The Republic of Venice also has Verona, Brescia, Treviso, Dalmatia and the newly recovered province of Islia on the mainland. There are also countless islands in the Mediterranean headed by Woking.

The lion rules.

Only by destroying the fleet in the anchorage can Austria attack those land fortresses with ease.

"Enxi and a dozen guards should be enough to ensure the safety of Her Majesty Misrilla." Ladislaus looked around at the elite soldiers under his command and pointed straight out the window like a halberd, "Please

Everyone, follow me to attack the anchorage."

Including the Goriti family's private soldiers with dubious combat effectiveness, there were only more than 600 troops heading towards the Venetian naval anchorage where thousands of sailors gathered.

Although the opponent is a force with shaken minds and dissipated morale, it is after all a veteran force with hundreds of years of glorious history.

Ladislaus did not choose a simple storm. Instead, he asked his soldiers to light more torches and lengthen their formation to attack the Venetians' hearts.

Torches made of olive oil and fine satin lit up the city of Venice, and the Austrians mercilessly expropriated precious ingredients and expensive fabrics.

Of course it was not a robbery, Ladislaus was very sure of this, and he generously asked his little brother Riti to leave notes for several shopkeepers who thought it was the end of the world.

If Austria wins and the backstage of several shop owners survive the purge, then this IOU may be able to be honored.

If Austria fails to win the city of Venice, then of course there is nothing we can do. Anyway, the one who signed the contract is little brother Riti......................

In addition to taking the blame for failure, little brother Liti also has to do the most dangerous job.

"General Trapattoni, the Speaker ordered assassins to assassinate my father in a despicable manner. Fortunately, the Cardinal Archbishop of Habsburg was loyal and helped me to correct the chaos. He has severely punished those rebellious officials and traitors...

....." A bow and arrow interrupted little brother Riti's shouting.

"You son of a bitch, although brother Riti is not a good person, he is also a hero in the world. I didn't expect to give birth to such an inhuman thing like you. Damn it, I will definitely skin you and cramp you today." General Trapattoni said about the situation.

The judgment is still very correct.

Before today, General Trapattoni never thought that he would want to help his old rival Grit to raise the hatred of the Consul.

He identified little brother Riti as the murderer. Although all parties had their own explanations, as long as they found out who was the well-prepared ultimate beneficiary, the initiator of the conspiracy would be inseparable.

Obviously, General Trapattoni had no good feelings at all for colluding with the parricide beasts from other places. Even if there was a Spanish fleet in front of him and an Austrian army behind him, he would not surrender to such scum.

This is not a family feud, but a matter of national justice.
