Not everyone has the same judgment as General Trapattoni, and although General Trapattoni is very honest, he is unable to stop some ancient bad habits in the army and even enjoys them.

For example, one-thirtieth of the sailor's food expenses have always been used to hold a salon in his outer room or buy jewelry, and more than fifty servants in his family are on the roster of the Venetian Navy, which does not cost the general a single penny.

salary.

Another example is the annual ability assessment of captains who barely survive. First, they compare their surnames, then they compare their red envelopes, and finally they compare their luck.

In short, it is not comparable to ability.

Any army that has existed stably for more than three hundred years will inevitably become like this. This does not mean that this kind of army is useless at all. It can even be said that this kind of army can still fight.

Because enemies can also become corrupted, emerging forces may be too small or inexperienced.

But just like the bureaucracy that lasted more than three hundred years, it will no longer be as brave and efficient as when it was first established, and there will still be a lot of scum and rubbish stealing high positions.

"Avenge the Consul Goriti!" Someone responded to little Goriti's cry. Under the dual pressure of the Spanish fleet and the Austrian dragon, the scumbags in the Venetian navy further fell into traitor status.

"Long live Austria, long live the royal family of magicians."

Although the captain who responded first went too far because he usually abused his subordinates and withheld the blood of his troops, and foolishly mentioned foreign invaders in his speech, the order to attack friendly forces was immediately thrown into the sea by the patriotic sailors.

But if the first responder eats the crab, the shame of those who hesitate later will be satisfied to the lowest extent.

"In short, I did not surrender on my own initiative. I was forced to cooperate with the Austrians in order to protect myself. I was not the first to surrender."

People with this kind of thinking are obviously hesitant to act even if they don't immediately switch sides.

Most of these captains are members of the factions of the Goriti family and the Goriti allied families, although their attacks on friendly forces are weak.

But for Ladislaus, this still formed an extremely favorable situation of attacking from both sides.

Moreover, captains are basically well aware of the factions of their colleagues. Even if these captains do not immediately switch sides but are still sitting on the fence, those captains who are loyal to the Republic of Venice must allocate their energy to guard against them.

This is only on land. Although the Spanish fleet at sea is fake, the siege crabs of the Goriti family are not fake.

The younger brother had wanted to use this legendary weapon for a long time, but he never got his father's permission.

In the eyes of Old Gorriti, this weapon is a great treasure of the Republic of Venice. Although he likes his son very much, he cannot separate public and private affairs. If something happens, it will cause too much damage to the Gorriti family.

This time little brother Riti finally got what he wanted and got everything his father had. Isn't this the original intention of him committing all these crimes?

There is a special team in the Navy Dock area responsible for raising this strange creature, and only the Archon can use this weapon.

Putting on his father's bracelet that never left his body, little Goriti successfully took advantage of this national treasure of the Republic of Venice.

Even a wealthy country like the Republic of Venice could not easily afford this expensive weapon. The old consul had to make countless compromises and promises before passing a special budget worth millions in parliament.

Now this weapon is wreaking havoc in the Venetian fleet.

Although his ability is not good, as a Venetian, little Goriti is very familiar with most warships. He attacks the ships of the most stubborn and determined members of the hostile factions.

General Trapattoni has not been idle in the past few hours, and has made many arrangements, but these arrangements are all aimed at the more threatening enemy, which is the powerful Spanish main fleet on the ocean.

Even the Spanish's contingency plan for storming the port was verbally rehearsed. These capital ships have always been a real nightmare for the Venetian Navy.

Although I have seen outsiders boasting that "a warship with all sails is a great arrogance and a country's irresponsibility," "the Mediterranean is still the world of our Venetians and sailing warships."

In fact, as a veteran at sea, General Trapattoni still has a very clear understanding of the comparison between the enemy's and our own forces.

The basis for the existence of the Venetian Navy is the rough balance of strength between the Spanish Navy and the Ottoman Navy. As a bargaining chip that can change the balance, it maintains its own sovereignty and certain interests.

This is also the basis for the founding of the Republic of Venice, a rough balance between the two giants at both ends of the Mediterranean.

Austria, with its weak navy, never paid attention to the Venetian authorities. Spain was the powerful enemy capable of threatening the Republic of Venice.

However, this choice was wrong.

Today, the threat really does not come from the sea, but from the land.

Consuls of the Republic of Venice have attached great importance to the fleet anchorage.

The anchorage is surrounded by a more complete city wall than Venice Island itself. There is a complex water system around the city wall that serves as a canal and can be used as a moat during war. Without the support of a powerful navy, theoretically, the army alone cannot attack the anchorage.

However, no matter how good the defense system is, it still needs people to defend it. No matter how exquisitely designed the river channel is, or how strong the city walls and suspension bridges are built, if the people who defend it are not good, then everything is meaningless.

Fear of the Spanish main fleet and distrust of their comrades made the Venetians collapse at the drop of a hat.

Although Ladislaus and his men were small in number, they had the power to win the street battle and the sense of urgency of being in the enemy's country. Everyone wanted to be first.

Everything went smoothly, which surprised the Austrians. In the street battle just now, the Venetian resistance forces, which were actually just militiamen and policemen, performed much better than the elite navy.

Frunzberg and Sazastan, who had the most battlefield experience, were not surprised at all, but breathed a sigh of relief. Their rich experience told them that this is how to fight with less and more quickly, or fight slower from the beginning.

Smoothly control the situation, and then form a wave of rout among the enemy. If it is not so smooth, it will definitely not work to defeat the powerful enemy with a small number of troops.

A "Wail of the Banshee" in Sazastan opened the initial passage. A group of the most courageous warriors among the Venetians once wanted to launch a counterattack, but the result was that they all died in his hands. Ordinary officers and soldiers then specialized in death.

He is extremely weak in front of the spiritual master.

Although he has spent more than 100,000 talers on spellcasting materials tonight, it was all worth it. The spoils of the Republic of Venice were enough to offset all expenses.

Ladislaus and Frundsberg together acted as the arrowheads of the entire army to attack deep into the anchorage. This was also the inevitable choice for the disadvantaged side in terms of strength comparison. Once the delay was too long, the Venetians would eventually understand those Spanish battleships.

There is something fishy about it, otherwise there would be no reason not to support the Austrian land operations.

No matter how many adverse circumstances there are, the number of Venetian sailors is still too much than Ladislaus can control, not to mention that this is their hometown. Once the sky gets brighter, it becomes clear that Ladislaus's men are so

If it is less, things will still be variable.
