Chapter 21 Prince's Calculation [3]

The Roma Empire has such a large-scale diplomatic action, and it is impossible to hide it from neighboring countries. Whether it is the seven countries of Pan-Scandinavia or the Slavic Empire, they all feel that this diplomatic activity is unusual. According to common sense, the strong and huge Roma Empire should have reacted toughly after the invasion of the Kingdom of Latvia, a loyal vassal state, to fight against the Grand Duchy of Norman at all costs.

Of course, these should be the things that all countries like to see. However, there are too many pragmatists in today's Roma Empire. They were not willing to use a huge force and manpower to fight a war with no benefit at all in an unnecessary small border country.

Putting aside the illusory so-called great country demeanor, the rest is actually just an empty shell. It is precisely because many people see through this that some people feel that this Norman negotiation should be a tragedy. It all fell into the calculation of Prince Ursula.

There is no doubt that this clever prince deceived all his colleagues and nobles. Even Prince Alex and other princes, who were slightly different at the beginning, were a little puzzled at this time. Could it be said that this is Prince Ursula's patriotic sentiment?

No one has such noble ideals and thoughts. In the face of this kind of unscrupulous historical problem, some people's small actions make real patriots despise. So Prince Ursula calculated another group of people. Yes, those who were so noble in patriotic sentiments finally found a person who could entrust his ideals, that is, Prince Ursula, who also had patriotic sentiments and was in a high position.

What's more, the prince was infinitely close to the throne more than ten years ago. Although the prince did not succeed to ascend the throne because of some secrets, it did not affect his ability among the people and many nobles. At least one person uses magnificent wisdom to frame a group of people, which is already a legend.

"In the past two days, there have been a lot more Slavs and Scandinavians in Tamsalu." Prince Ursula was slightly stunned and looked at all kinds of people under the street outside the window. These people were naked and showed their strong muscles. Then in the gentle seduction of a group of warbler, they walked into the lane, or some pretty widows, where they picked up some private work and raised themselves and their children.

This small street full of all kinds of things in the world makes Prince Ursula very distracted. He knows Tiger. The strength of House also knows that the most exaggerated power of this man lies in his personality charm. He can incite a group of tough people to die generously. That's all, saying that he is a generation of heroes, and it's just a derogatory sneer. Such a person, in the Middle Ages, was the great emperor, who became a person respected by all the people.

"What is under the appearance of some people? Vulgarity, meanness, greed, lust, all these things seem so strange and frivolous. Can I have such a disguise? Hehe, it doesn't work after all. I am me, Ursula. How can the eagle over Apennine allow his pride to be like the pheasant that digs on the ground? In the strong aroma of black tea, His Royal Highness held up a small porcelain plate, gently clasped the handle of the cup with his fingers, and took a sip of warm black tea. He felt a little astringent taste, so he poured some fragrant milk from the printed pot beside him, and then took a sip. It tasted great.

This is life.

Those Scandinavians, who were arrogant and inferior, finally became honest in the Baltic Sea after being severely beaten by the Normans. As if to show off, when Prince Ursula asked people to understand the once vigorous and sensational sea battle, no one obstructed it at all. Those civilians excitedly told about the almost most classic naval battle in history, and those who had worked as warehouses on naval ships, were salivating with great interest, as if they had countless energy. After listening to the story that may be half true and half false, Prince Ursula believed that the bastard's tone was really bragging.

Do you have the most powerful navy in the North? This is really surprising, but why does this guy value the power of the ocean so much? The competition on the mainland is fundamental. I don't understand." Prince Ursula shook his head, although he also admitted Tiger. House's hegemony in the north is almost unshakable, but after all, he can't really transcend the world, so he can't see the future changes. The breadth and endless wealth of the ocean is irresistible. However, it is impossible for the kings of this world to easily let go of this continent and then rush to the sea to look for the great secret treasure that may never exist. And Tiger. House can be regarded as a man who finds the big secret treasure and makes a fortune, although it is just a self-deceiving view and point of view.

Prince Ursula really wants to calculate Tiger in this competition. House, but he couldn't, because he was surprised to find that there was nothing he could do in the face of this crazy man. It seems that this kind of thing is useless at all. Perhaps, in a very exaggerated sentence, when Ursula was still addicted to the so-called wisdom of power, Tiger. House had seen through everything for a long time, and then proved that he had broken all possible intrigues.

As Xian Zhe said: In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracy and tricks are useless.

"Markro, do you think Tiger. Is House's country strong? Prince Ursula suddenly held the cup in his hands, and the white porcelain plate was put down, and his head turned slightly, looking at the commander of the Macroe. One of the commanders of the Imperial Guard in the imperial capital was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. Then he pondered for a while and said, "It's very strong."

Macro said so after analyzing many factors. Although it seems that no country or force can be half of the huge state machine of the Roman Empire. Even the Slavic Empire could never have such strength. If you look at the world, perhaps the world's combat power is more than half of the Roman Empire.

The accumulated wealth and population of the millennium empire are enough to create an absolutely horrible force, and it is the kind that people can't resist at all.

"I once insisted that there will never be any stronger troops in this world than the elite of the empire. However, I can now firmly believe in the fact that Tiger. House's army must not be underestimated. The strength of this army is huge and horrible, which is hard to believe. It is just an army that has existed in the world for only four years. The power of the mage also makes people shudder. But... Macro, do you know? The army of the Grand Duchy of Norman, any legion, whether the First Legion or the Twelfth Legion, has not really used a magician so far.

The seriousness in Ursula's eyes made Makaol tremble all over. Of course, the general couldn't believe that there were pure warrior troops in the world. It is almost impossible to complete such a difficult task. Take a country, defeat a kingdom, and integrate the strength of several ethnic groups in three countries and one tribe. How strong a strong army does such a ability need? Even if it's a pile of people, Tiger. Is there so much in House's hands?

They are not the Slavic Empire, and they can have a population of 120 million as the foundation. This is the cornerstone of a powerful country. In the face of such an ending, we have to explain a problem, which really needs to be considered. That is to say, Tiger. House has completed the sublimation of a pure warrior, and no one knows how he did it.

This man is absolutely incomprehensible.

At this time, there were many silent people in the residence of the Grand Duke of Norman. There are many members sitting at the long table. Representing the highest ruling power of this country, the head is naturally the Tiger with a scepter and armor. The Great Duke of House. The man wearing six silver balls was staring ahead, crossing his hands and fingers, and then asked coldly, "What the Slavs mean is very simple, that is, the requirements and details of the Roma need to be given a copy. However, this stupid request was sent back by me. Now, gentlemen, if nothing unexpected happens, the Slavs will definitely make some friction in the eastern region in order to prove their influence. If necessary, a local war may break out. Although this does not affect the stability of the country, the pressure on the motor will be much greater.

"We must not sit back and wait for death. I decided to teach the Slavs a lesson first, be fast, and defeat their main force in the western part of the Slavic Empire. At that time, the excuses and reasons will be left to Secretary Catherine to bother. Boss Ma turned to Catherine. Nar nodded, and the princess bowed slightly and said, "I understand what the Grand Duke means."

"War? Isn't it too aggressive and too risky? Sahili was a little worried. He didn't have a reason. After all, the Grand Duchy of Norman is too small for the Slavic Empire. It is almost one-fifth of the land of the Slavic Empire. Such a small land has almost no depth.

And the Slavic dragoons are very powerful. These heavy armored infantry rode horses, and their engine power increased more than ten times in an instant, and a dragoon was equipped with nearly ten war horses. This is also because the Slavic Empire has the largest horse farm in the eastern continent. On the grassland, it is almost all Slavic horses.

Norton didn't care. He waved his hand and said loudly, "I agree with the tiger. The Slavic attitude is obviously to put us in a low profile. Their intention is to control us. Since even the Roma can't do anything about us, if Nicholas I is determined to make us submit, he will have to remove his two front teeth. The Western Legion of the Slavic Empire may not be able to make any achievements. They will never think that we will attack first.

"I suggest that the scouts be released. After this, the information must not be disconnected." Norton's judgment is right, and his vision is also extremely accurate. In fact, Sahili can certainly see this. As Prince Ursula judged, the army of the Grand Duchy of Norman was very effective. And His Royal Highness calculated this Tiger. At the same time, Grand Duke House, Nicholas I also wanted to get a piece of the pie. It's just unexpected that since the ice tiger can pay no attention to the Pope, what can happen to a Slavic empire?

Besides, Frank I can be shot in the head by a sloppy shot. What else is impossible?

There are high maps hanging on the hall. There are many red lines and blue lines, one circle after another. Ma Hu stood up and looked around, and then said coldly, "Near Chude Lake, we have two legions. According to the arrangement of more than a year, it should have been increased to 60,000, and the reserve team is 17,000. There are 5,000 people in the community. This is a good production area. If the Slavs call us, we will lose a lot. This is also the reason why I let people build like fortifications. When necessary, strategic defense can also eliminate the living power of the opponent.

"Population base, strategic depth, the gap is too big. Once the other side's cavalry breaks the defense line of both wings of Chude Lake, it is an extremely dangerous signal. I seem to have told you that any country around here is an enemy. The most unreliable thing is ally. As long as the Slavs can give up their intention to advance to the west and destroy the main force of the Western Legion of the Slav Empire, then the reconstruction of the Western Legion will inevitably cause chaos in Nicholas I's cabinet. With a sloppy and tall body, he was dressed in armor at this time and was more majestic and heroic. He supported the table with his hands and shouted, "The goal of the Ivanov family is definitely not a well-known protector family. The Slavic royal family is in trouble. Maybe it is this family that is ready to move. A thousand years, a lot of things can be done.

Among the people here, there are no good men and women, let alone those who love peace and worship nature like those elves who hide in the mountains and don't care about the world. These people's belief in the law of the jungle is absolutely carried out to the bone. There is not much difference between submission or death. The purpose of the Slavs is never to sincerely form an alliance with the Grand Duchy of Norman, and the final result is self-evident.

And Tiger. Grand Duke House's approach is also understandable. In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. When the interests and goals are intertwined one day, then there can only be a contest. Pure strength is the standard that can best reflect the strength of both sides.

What's more, the sloppy people who have clearly investigated the Slavic Empire firmly believe that their goals can be achieved.

He said with an extremely evil smile, "Gentlemen and ladies, maybe you don't know yet. The Western Legion has carried out three military wage arrears in the past three months. And such an incident does not seem to have been completely resolved in the hundreds of years since the formation of the Western Legion. To put it bluntly, the West Slavs are not the direct line of the Slavic royal family. The resistance of this race against the Slavic Empire is a headache for the Slavic Empire.

"The West Slavs are indeed violent and disothless." Catherine. Nar nodded and said. This is indeed the case. In the Grand Duchy of Norman, those Slavs who make trouble must be West Slavs, but in the Grand Duchy of Norman, no matter where you are, as long as you dare to make trouble, you will be a pig.

"According to the current financial situation of the Slavic Empire, it should be a mistake in military spending. Nicholas I is said to have dispatched royal money, and about 10 million gold rubles have been spent cleanly in the past decade. This is almost the savings of three generations of Slavic emperors. Hey hey... This news really reveals an extremely important clue. The evil Tiger. The Great King of House, with a ferocious smile, said, "The Ivanov family has indeed made tampering with it financially, and has done it very cleverly and cleanly, so that the Slavic royal family has no evidence or excuse at all."

Those who understand immediately realized, yes, as long as the finances are controlled, and even as long as they can affect the finances of an empire, then one day, even an empire will succumb to such financial power. What's more, the influence of the Ivanov family is also extremely strong in the Slavic Empire. Even if one day the Ivanov family will ascend the throne, I'm afraid there are not many people who really oppose it.

"Further stimulate the reaction of the Western Legion. I'm afraid these West Slavs are really going to make trouble." Ma Hu sneered and said another heart-pounding news, "My intelligence tells me that the latest military expenditure of the Western Legion of the Slavic Empire will arrive at the Western Front in ten days."

When everyone heard the news, they trembled all over, and their eyes were full of disbelief. Of course they know that since Tiger. When House said such a message, it must not be a joke, but a must take action. If nothing unexpected happens, Tiger. The purpose of Grand Duke House must be to send troops to take this batch of military expenses, which is absolutely fatal to the Western Legion of the Slavic Empire!

"According to the tradition of the Slavic Empire, the transport team escorting military expenses must have a full cavalry regiment of 5,000 people. The thousand-person team system, that is to say, these are five thousand-person teams. According to the previous procedures, the Slavs should not change anything this time. Then, as long as it can grab this wealth, or hide this military expenditure in some places and prevent the Slavs from finding it, it is enough to make the Western Legion suffer a heavy blow. The smile on his sloppy face was extremely bright and excited, as if he had seen the wonderful joyful victory. At this moment, it can be said that the atmosphere in the whole hall is a little rapid but lively.

"At present, Prince Ursula sent by the Roma Empire must be calculating something. However, as long as we strengthen our strength and reputation and influence, it is enough to have a vigorous battle on the edge of any powerful empire. They dare not fight and can't afford it. And we are amazing to go back to overseas business. There is nothing to be afraid of!" He slapped the table sloppyly and shouted, "Slavic military expenses! Uncle Ben... It's about to be decided!"
