- "Who will pay for the military expenses! We can recruit troops at home. The economic situation in various countries is not very good now. As long as they have food to eat, many people are willing to serve as soldiers. But the problem is who will pay for the military expenses, as well as weapons, supplies and food supplies? Who is responsible for this?"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the battle between the Church Alliance Legion camp, the princes and nobles who thought they were under the Holy Roman Empire were asking the British envoy a very serious question.
This question of the princes and nobles has been echoed by many people.
Yes, the British have been lobbying them for a ceasefire with the Protestant coalition forces for this period of time.
But the problem is, it doesn¡¯t mean that the British will stop the war if they want it. They have no control over this matter.
At the same time, the British also planned to ask them to turn around and fight the Portuguese and French forces immediately after a truce with the Protestant coalition forces.
But now, the Protestant coalition forces do not agree to an armistice at all, so the military confrontation in the Netherlands will continue.
However, the British put forward another suggestion, which was to recruit soldiers from various vassal states and reorganize legions to fight the Portuguese and French.
The idea is good, but the problem is that the British always ask them to do these things.
???????????????????????????? And what benefit do these people do to themselves by doing this?
Of course, the British have explained some of the benefits of fighting Portugal and France.
But the British explanation did not satisfy the Church Alliance princes.
At the same time, the British have never talked about what force they will contribute in the war against Portugal and France.
¡°Could it be that the British plan is to let them fight to the death with the Portuguese and French?
¡°Many people have begun to feel a little angry towards the British.
You know, the British are not the only smart people in this world.
Could it be that everyone else is just a fool?
?Obviously, this is impossible.
In fact, everyone also understands that the war between Portugal and France will definitely continue.
But before that, where did the funds and supplies come from?
This is a very real problem and needs to be solved immediately.
So, when the British envoy came to them again, the representative of the princely states asked this question that everyone was concerned about.
Well!
Faced with such a question, the British envoy was really stunned.
Because although his boss has told him many things that can be dealt with, he has not authorized him to solve these two points.
It can be seen that the boss and the country may really be thinking of letting others die so that they can reap benefits later.
But if you really think so, then it would be a pity.
Because the vassal states of the Church Alliance are not fools, how could they listen to the British and send troops like this.
And no one is willing to do things that are not beneficial.
The envoy's expression changed several times, and he kept thinking about it in his heart.
At the same time, the British envoy also cursed the domestic officials in his heart, cursing them as pigs with low IQs.
You want others to follow your own plan, but you don¡¯t want to offer any benefits.
"The plan of you British people is simply too good. We are going to die in the front, but you British people get the benefits. And they also asked us to send troops immediately, but they did not solve the problem of military expenses and food supplies."
The little prince who was elected by everyone mocked the British envoy with disdain.
The envoy's face turned pale and blue at times, stimulated by what he said.
It can be heard from the words of this young prince that people have already guessed the plan of the British side.
Therefore, it is useless to say anything else. Only by coming up with some practical information to solve the problem can these people cooperate.
But the problem is, he doesn¡¯t have the authorization.
So, sometimes he stood there, not knowing how to answer the other party.
I saw the British envoy standing there, silent. The young prince said: "As long as the military expenses and supplies are settled, we will immediately recruit troops to form a legion. We will recruit people and you, the British, will pay for them. I think this is fair, isn't it?"
The envoy nodded, agreeing with what the little prince said.
Yes, this is very fair.
Since you don¡¯t want toIf you want money, then provide people.
But if you don¡¯t pay for it, you will definitely have to pay for it.
¡°I don¡¯t want to contribute money, but I don¡¯t want to contribute to anyone either. How could there be such a good thing in this world?
This is simply impossible.
The earth does not rotate for the British, and it does not mean that the British can do whatever they want.
"Everyone, I believe you also know the importance of Spain to the war. If Spain is allowed to be occupied by Portugal and France, then I don't need to say what impact it will have on the future war situation."
The envoy did not answer questions about military spending and supplies, but reminded the crowd of the importance of Spain.
¡°You don¡¯t need to remind us of this, we also know it. But how important the issue of military expenses and supplies is, you must also understand this.¡± Another noble from Poland, a church prince, also spoke at this time.
¡°No one here has a clear idea of ??the British¡¯s plans.
And they also have a deep understanding of the importance of Spain.
You know, there are still three Spanish legions in the Netherlands, with a total of 28,000 people.
It was precisely because of their presence that the war in the Netherlands did not deteriorate.
At the same time, because Spain was occupied by Portugal and France, the three Spanish legions began to have unstable military morale.
"If the church hadn't sent people to find the commanders of the three legions and announced to them their promise to help Spain recover, the Spanish legions would have collapsed by now.
With the collapse of the Spanish Legion, the war in the Netherlands will also deteriorate.
This is what no one wants to see.
At the same time, Portugal and Portugal and France occupied Spanish territory.
If it is not resolved for a long time, their strength will definitely increase after they integrate Spain's original territory.
Even if they deal with the Protestant coalition princes in the future, they will still have to face Portugal and France, whose strength has greatly increased.
Therefore, it is the best choice to launch an attack while Portugal and France are still unstable and are still steadily digesting Spanish territory. It is the best choice to use force to force Portugal and France to spit out Spanish territory.
In this way, after the Spaniards regain their country, they will once again involve the military forces of Portugal and France.
The most important thing is that Portugal and France obviously do not like the military group of the Church Alliance, and there is a great possibility that they will join the Protestant coalition.
If something like this really happens, the situation will be very bad for the church-military alliance.
At that time, the alliance of the church military group not only had to deal with the war in the Netherlands, but also faced the Portuguese and French attacks from eastern Europe.
Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists.
With one situation ebbing and the other ebbing, how can the church military group cope with it?
So, they now have only two ways to go.
One is to immediately deal with the Protestant coalition forces in the Netherlands, and then turn around and deal with Portugal and France.
The other one is to have a truce with the Protestants and attack the Portuguese and French.
But no matter which path you choose, one thing must be done.
That means they can only face enemies from one direction.
The choice is yours!
The war here in the Netherlands has reached a confrontation.
It can be seen that the dawn will not be seen in a short time.
And Spain has just been defeated by Portugal and France. Portugal and France do not have very strong control over Spain's territory, and sporadic resistance continues.
Therefore, after careful study, everyone found that the best option was to cease the war and then launch an attack on Portugal and France.
After all, it is not in their interests to allow Portugal and France to occupy Spanish territory and become behemoth countries.
"Although we in the UK cannot provide help on the road, our navy can attack the maritime trade lines between Portugal and France and interrupt the supplies coming from the American coast. And now our navy has begun to take action."
The messenger said to everyone who asked questions but did not answer them.
"There is not much time left for us now. If we delay for one day, Portugal and France will have stronger control over the former Spanish territory. At the same time, the resistance forces on the Spanish side will suffer greater losses, and the hidden Spanish The more dangerous the royal family is."
The messenger said to everyone.
¡°And after the restoration of the country, I think the Spaniards will be happy to pay for this military expenditure and supplies, right?So you don¡¯t have to worry about these at all. "
Although the envoy's words were very beautiful, the problem was that his words were unfounded. How could he represent the opinions of the Spaniards?
¡°What if they help Spain recover, but in the end the Spaniards fail to pay for the military expenses and supplies?
Is it possible that they can still fight the Spanish?
If this is the case, wouldn¡¯t the Church Alliance be in civil strife?
This will make the Protestant coalition laugh to death.
And it will also give them a good opportunity to defeat themselves.
Such a thing is not impossible to happen.
Therefore, no matter how nice the British envoy said, these people just did not nod in agreement.
We are all not fools. You said a few words about the relationship, and we nodded in agreement.
In fact, everyone also understands the British¡¯s plan, and it is precisely because of this that the more the British persuade, the tighter these people will become.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
????????????? Don¡¯t these people understand that you think you¡¯re British?
It¡¯s nothing more than taking a fancy to the colonial interests of the Spanish and the Dutch in America and India.
When Europe is in chaos, the British can do whatever they want.
Because the naval and land forces of European countries are now involved in the European continent.
Only France and Portugal think they are not involved yet, so they are called obstacles to the British.
If they start to attack Portugal and France now, the navies of these two countries will definitely be dragged along the Mediterranean, which will give the British a chance.
We are not fools!
Why do you get all the benefits by yourself?
What a beautiful thought!
This is what everyone wants, but the British are still complacent in thinking that no one has seen through it. (To be continued.
