Chapter 563 Anti-Habsburg Alliance
Cardinal Fanese and Brother Riti didn't want to go to the city of Rome at first. They had no confidence at all in the so-called powerful weapon given by His Majesty God. After all, it sounded like the kind of thing used by country priests to fool fools.
.
Although Generalissimo Doria brought 3,000 elite Ligurian troops, the troops carefully trained and organized by Generalissimo Doria obviously had stronger combat effectiveness than the ragtag mob in Venice.
He still had the warrant to elect the pope, but these two men still refused to go against the Naples Legion and the subsequent United King.
Both of them knew very well how much weight they had. Although their troops had a large number of people, the real fighting was just a little tiring for the Spaniards to chop meat.
But this afternoon, their observers stationed on the outskirts of Rome really reported to them a super weapon that was exactly the same as what Grand Marshal Doria described. It was even better than what Grand Marshal Doria predicted, although they were not yet
We know that the Duke of Bourbon has ended his wandering life, but we can be sure that the Spanish attack was completely defeated.
The family emblem of Lao Tanshur also appeared on the top of the Roman city, confirming Generalissimo Doria's confident attitude towards victory.
This result forced Cardinal Fonese and Brother Riti to finally change their attitudes again. In any case, the timely appearance of Marshal Doria and Lao Tanshur showed that the real election of the Pope did have a complete plan, which involved
When it comes to many powerful Italians and the still powerful European giant the Kingdom of France, since they have no intention of breaking with the Roman Church, they have to accept this arrangement.
If they are unwilling to take action but the Habsburg coalition still has no success under the city of Rome, or even suffers a small defeat, they will have to face the wrath of the real electorate pope.
"Your Majesty, Generalissimo, I admire you so much for your ability to refuse such an attractive offer from the Habsburg family and resolutely stand with the Roman Church." Although Cardinal Fanese could see Ladislaus's intentions,
The conditions are actually not as generous as they appear on the surface, but they are still better than those of the Roman Church.
"I cannot tolerate foreigners doing whatever they want on the Apennine Peninsula. Italians must be the masters of our destiny. The United Kingdom moves from north to south, and Spain's ambition to carve up Italy must be stopped." Marshal Doria never liked his sister Jola.
Dislaus Hungarian. However, he did not expect that the nephew he raised would seriously threaten the existence of Italy's already fragile civilization.
"I am so touched by your patriotism, Your Majesty the Generalissimo. I will definitely work hard to fight those careerists under your command to the end. Fight for the common destiny of Italians!" Fanese said sincerely, noble
Character is like a sweet spring in the desert, so rare that it makes people yearn for it from the bottom of their hearts.
Although His Highness Fanese does not have much patriotism, he still respects heroes who are full of such sentiments from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, one more thing, although Dictator Goriti made some false accusations against me at the beginning. But now he has lost his way. I think he was just misled by some irresponsible intelligence officers and despicable people among them.
The shameless Habsburg spy was misled. Now that he has sincerely repented, I am willing to forgive him." Of course, patriotic sentiments are patriotic sentiments. The offensive and defensive alliance with brother Riti still needs to be maintained.
After Ladislaus captured Bohemia and Hungary, all intelligent people were worried about the irrepressible alliance between Ladislaus and Ferdinand, especially Italy, which was sandwiched between Spain and the United Kingdom.
At the dangerous stage, Generalissimo Doria comes quickly. If there is no immediate counterattack, then in the heyday of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, foreign forces completely controlled the Apennine Peninsula. Except for the Roman Church State, which could barely maintain its independence, the scene of Italian local forces being completely dependent on others would be
It's about to happen again.
It's not that Cardinal Fanese didn't see this prospect. It's just that he had too many personal interests to worry about and was unable to fight against this situation.
In any case, his arrangement worked, and he can now excuse little brother Riti from the standpoint of the "victim".
"Of course, His Royal Highness the Dictator's loyalty to the Church of Rome and the Italian nation is unquestionable, and I personally fully believe that you will not harm His Royal Highness Cardinal Fanese." The words of Grand Marshal Doria made the younger brother Li
Titus breathed a sigh of relief. "But if you want to convince His Majesty the Elected Pope to believe in your loyalty, I think you need to work harder."
After all, little brother Riti still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, so any idea of punishing him immediately is unrealistic.
"Of course, of course, I will fight the enemy bravely and contribute my meager strength to the cause of driving the Germans and Spaniards out of Italy." Little Gorriti also really wants to take back what Ladislaus captured.
A large amount of northern territory that originally belonged to him. "After all, I am also Italian. Those damn invaders are angry with both humans and gods, and they will definitely not end well."
"Don't worry, we are not fighting alone. Not only have several powerful mages arrived in Rome, but the French army has also been mobilized and will enter Milan and Mantua at any time." Although the Italians have formed a big alliance.
, but the center of this anti-Habsburg alliance was still Paris.
"Okay, tonight we will discuss the march plan overnight, and we will march towards Rome early tomorrow morning. This will teach the arrogant Habsburgs the most profound lesson." Although Ladislas gave an unimaginable thought.
The generous conditions are generous enough for any ordinary powerful Italian faction, but Generalissimo Doria is not an ordinary powerful faction.
He was still determined to stop the Habsburg family's ambition to rule all of Italy.
"I think we should consider logistical issues first." Although Cardinal Fanese opposed the attack, since it seemed that the attack was a foregone conclusion, he immediately found an important problem. "His Royal Highness Goriti is here.
Although we have stocked up a little food, it is still insufficient for the attack. I wonder if Generalissimo Doria has made arrangements."
Although this is looking for trouble, it is also telling the truth. Although their camp is close to the Tiber River, the navigability of this section of the river is much worse than that of the lower reaches. The supply situation of this unit has always been very bad.
, it’s okay to stick to the camp, but it’s not okay to leave the camp.
"The soldiers and horses have not yet moved the food and grass. His Highness Fannese's concerns are very reasonable. The Principality of Siena has hoarded a lot of food. I have ordered people to clear the Tiber River. The supplies will be transported up soon."
"Anyway, I haven't seen anyone working in the river in the past two days." Little brother Riti was really impressed by the courage of Marshal Doria, and his opposition was not very strong.
"They are working at the bottom of the river. Please don't worry. The supply situation will improve. Let's talk about the current march next." Marshal Doria tried hard to bring the question back to the point.
But he barely managed to convince two uncooperative allies, and other things interrupted him.
