- At that time a year ago, when the church learned that the Spanish Empire was being attacked by Portugal and France and that the capital Madrid was in danger, it immediately asked the Holy Roman Empire to send troops to attack France.
The church also knew very well at that time that Spain, a thug, could not be defeated.
Because if Spain is defeated, it will be very detrimental to the church.
After all, the Spanish royal family is relatively loyal to the church. This country can be said to be a gold medal fighter.
If Spain loses its support, will anyone still believe what the church says in the future?
Today, it is no longer the ignorant era of the Middle Ages, where everything is not decided by the church.
After hundreds of years of development, the European continent has now begun a ignorant technological enlightenment, and people's thinking has begun to change.
This is something that the church is very worried and fearful about.
Although the church still has some say in Europe at this time, it can still fool some people.
But compared to the Middle Ages, the church¡¯s voice today is much smaller.
It is precisely because of this that the church needs a thug who has strong force and is very loyal and obedient to itself.
Only with the existence of such a thug can the church continue to dominate and dominate.
Therefore, Spain cannot afford to lose anything.
This is something that the church is very clear about.
It was precisely because of this that the church spent a sum of money at that time and persuaded the Holy Roman Empire to send troops.
??This is just to help Spain, an obedient thug, and to help teach himself.
And after helping Spain, the church has not lost anything.
As long as the Spanish colonies remain, the church can continue to expand its power through the Spanish colonies.
It was precisely with the rise of the Spanish during the Age of Discovery that the power of the church expanded again.
Although there are always troubles in missionary matters in America and Africa, it is ultimately about letting the church stand, right?
The church believes that as long as the operation is done well, those indigenous people can definitely become the Lamb of God and become another target for them to deceive.
It¡¯s just that the expansion of the church¡¯s power in the East has not been very successful. It is believed that Eastern people do not believe in God, but they believe in Buddha and the Three Purities. This really troubles the church.
Ever since the Portuguese discovered the East and opened up shipping routes, the Church has been penetrating into the East. However, as the Portuguese were annexed by the Spanish, and then the Dutch also arrived in the East, in the past hundred years or so, the Church has not existed at all. How much development there is in the East.
However, as long as the Spaniards can maintain this momentum, the church believes that it will be able to develop believers in the East and defraud a large amount of wealth from the East.
But it is a pity that the church¡¯s rescue of Spain was destroyed by the American Volunteer Army. In the end, the Spanish were defeated by the Portuguese and French, and even the capital Madrid was captured.
¡°That¡¯s not all, even the Spanish royal family is missing and I don¡¯t know where they went.
"How can the church survive this?"
That¡¯s the Spanish boy who has always been submissive to him.
Was defeated like this?
¡°If the Spaniards just disappeared into the long river of history, where would you ask the church to find such obedient and submissive thugs again?
Therefore, Spain must be restored.
Only in this way can the church maintain its current status and right to speak.
Don¡¯t look at the fierce fighting between the church and the Habsburg princes. They are united to deal with the Protestant coalition.
But both the church and the Habsburg family knew that they were just using each other.
The Habsburgs took advantage of the church's reputation and ability to confuse the people, as well as the financial support the church could provide from time to time.
??The church uses the armed forces of the Habsburg vassal states.
It¡¯s all just about what everyone needs.
Whenever the Protestant coalition is defeated, what awaits the Habsburg family and the church will definitely be the end of parting ways.
The reason is very simple. The Habsburg family knows those people in the church very well and knows what they are.
Some movies are just perverted.
These people, coupled with the God they introduced, have absolutely no control over the rule of secular emperors and princes.Yes, it's a big disaster.
Therefore, it is impossible for those in the Habsburg princely states not to know.
And the church also knows very well what kind of existence they are in the eyes of these people.
Now, the Spanish boy is defeated like this.
The church is already as anxious as a house on fire.
Fortunately, they and Habsburg are in the honeymoon period now, and everyone still has in-depth cooperation.
Therefore, the church immediately decided to use the military power of the Habsburg family to restore the Spanish country.
And the church also spent a large sum of money for this purpose, which really changed the image of the iron rooster in the past.
That alone was not enough, the church also sent a large amount of supplies to the Holy Roman Empire, helping them regroup and form a 50,000-strong legion.
After the formation of this 50,000-strong legion was completed, it immediately set off again to the border areas where the American volunteers were stationed.
The church is confident that this time the Holy Roman Empire will be able to defeat those hateful Americans and let them know that Europe is not a place where they can run rampant.
But what the church didn¡¯t expect was that after the legions of the Holy Roman Empire marched to the border, they stopped and never moved forward again.
According to the opposing general, one must be careful and careful when dealing with American volunteers. After all, the conflict a year ago left a deep impression on the generals of the Holy Roman Empire.
A mere thousand-man army defeated the 60,000-strong legion of the Holy Roman Empire at that time. This made the generals of the Holy Roman Empire lose their courage.
Especially the barbarians in America, after defeating them, they don¡¯t want to take prisoners at all.
They beheaded the captured Holy Roman Empire soldiers and piled them on the border as a warning.
How could such a barbaric team not frighten the Holy Roman Empire, who were used to fighting in the European chivalry style?
Normally, even if everyone is defeated, they can still survive, and the most they can do is pay a little ransom.
But it¡¯s different when fighting the Americans. They don¡¯t know what chivalry is, and they don¡¯t ask for ransom at all.
It can be said that as long as you are defeated and captured, there is only one ending - death, which is something no one wants.
How good it is to be alive.
"While alive, you can enjoy delicious food, enjoy the tenderness of your mistress, and oppress the people."
But if you die, then you really have nothing.
It is precisely for this reason that the re-established Holy Roman Empire will not move forward even if it is killed.
It was very strange to have a confrontation with the American Legion across the border.
¡°Anyway, if you don¡¯t come over, I won¡¯t come over either.
Everyone is here to watch.
Most of the top generals and non-commissioned officers in the Holy Roman Emperor's army have experienced conflicts years ago and have fought against American armies.
They are very aware of the power of the American Legion and their endlessly bizarre fighting styles.
Let¡¯s not talk about muskets. The powerful tactics invented by the Americans are still being learned by Europeans.
¡°And the opponent also has a small weapon that can explode. This thing is too powerful.
Yes, in that battle years ago, in addition to the muskets that showed them what slaughter and death were, there was also a bottle bomb that also gave them a taste of its power.
Since this time, the Holy Roman Empire has also begun to study this kind of wine bottle bomb, but they cannot control the gunpowder as well as the Americans.
Therefore, their bottle bombs often explode themselves, injuring or maiming their own people for no reason.
In the end, they and had to give up the development.
In the conflict years ago, many low-level soldiers retreated. With their return, the power and cruelty of the Americans spread out with their big mouths.
Let the people of the Holy Roman Empire know the power of the enemy they face.
Among them, those who were most affected were the newly recruited soldiers.
From the moment they entered the military camp, they were instilled with this kind of thing and concept by the veterans.
The Americans are very cruel, they don¡¯t need prisoners, so when you face them in the future, you must be careful and try not to be caught by the other party, otherwise you will be dead.
They will torture you and then chop your head off.
Even if you beg??No.
The Americans are very powerful, and their weapons are very sharp. It is impossible for you to rush close to their queue, and you will only be greeted by countless lead bullets.
Hey, it¡¯s useless even if you rush over. As long as you are closer, you will encounter more powerful weapons.
??The kind where bombs are thrown overwhelmingly, and once they explode, your companions in a large area around you, including yourself, will be dead.
Even those who were lucky enough to survive were still disabled.
Often when talking about this, the veterans would point to some beggars with no hands and feet outside the military camp for the recruits to take a look at.
Have you seen it? Those people used to be soldiers. They were disabled in the battle with the Americans years ago. Now do you see what they look like? So death is not terrible. The terrible thing is that you are worse off than alive. ah.
Yes, there is no guarantee for wounded soldiers in this era. Those guys who have lost their fighting ability and become disabled are kicked out of the military camp early in the morning and left to fend for themselves.
For a soldier, this is quite a scary thing.
Because they became disabled and still had injuries on their bodies, and the country ignored them and did not even receive compensation when they left the army, these disabled soldiers lived a very difficult life.
Begging has become the only way they can survive.
¡°However, a large number of disabled soldiers did not receive effective treatment and died in pain.
Even those who survived eventually became filthy beggars. They wandered outside the military camp during the day. If they were lucky, they could get some charity from their former comrades and avoid starving to death.
This is the cruel fact that the recruits see and feel.
They don¡¯t want to be like this, they don¡¯t want to be disabled, they don¡¯t want to be beggars.
Therefore, the newly formed legion has no fighting will from bottom to top.
¡°Everyone tried their best to avoid direct conflicts with the Americans because they were afraid of being beaten.
Although the priest accompanying the army continued to persuade or issue threats.
However, the commander in charge of the legion was indifferent.
Faced with this situation, the church had no choice but to report the matter to the Vatican and the Holy Roman Catholic Church for them to deal with it.
For such a situation, the American Legion is certainly willing to see it.
As long as the other party does not take the initiative to attack them, then they are happy to maintain a confrontation with the other party.
After all, they are just volunteers, and their main command is to ensure that the place where they are stationed will not be captured by the enemy.
As for other things, they can't care about it.
Precisely because of this, the war in western France is in full swing, but the American volunteers here have not been affected at all.
The French could not order them, they only followed orders from America.
And because of the existence of the American Legion, the border in southeastern France has actually remained stable.
Although Mary complained about this, the war did not expand too much anyway, and the Holy Roman Empire was frightened.
??This can be considered a good thing for the French.
It¡¯s a pity that some people don¡¯t want to see such a good thing anymore.
As for the Vatican, it received news that the Holy Roman Empire was confronting the American Legion on the border of southeastern France and had not taken the initiative to attack at all. At the same time, it also received information from secret channels about the priests and priests in Manhattan City in the Song Empire on the American continent. News of another massacre.
The process of this news is very detailed and objective. How the pastors slowly developed and then expanded the number of believers is described in great detail.
Even those priests and priests who, because of a moment of confusion, instigated believers to riot and finally sent troops to the empire to ruthlessly suppress it, and then those priests and priests were caught, publicly interrogated and hanged, were also involved.
Especially when the priests and priests were being interrogated in public, the words spoken by the people of the Song Empire in public, as well as the words that revealed the most secret facts of the church, shocked the Vatican's senior officials.
To be honest, Zhao Hongyu and the others actually made random guesses about some things about the church.
¡°But how do they know that these nonsense and random speculations just happened to run into a dead rat.
¡°Especially ¡®confession¡¯ in the church seems to be to make people?Obtaining spiritual relief, but in fact it is a matter of obtaining the secrets in the hearts of the people and even the nobles, and then sorting them out for benefit. This is completely true.
"These things were exposed by the American Song Empire. How could the Vatican take it lightly?"
asshole!
