- At this time, in the commander's tent in the Protestant coalition camp, Marquis Bisev was helplessly looking at a map placed in front of him in trance.
Although the church coalition forces have stopped their offensive now, everyone knows that the church cannot take care of them for the time being.
Because the church still has more important enemies to deal with, that is, the Portuguese and French countries that destroyed the Spanish Empire.
It was precisely because Portugal and France suddenly wiped out the Spanish Empire that the pressure on the Protestant coalition forces was greatly reduced and they got a chance to breathe.
You know, the war here in the Netherlands was already extremely detrimental to the Protestants.
Without such an action by Portugal and France, the Protestant coalition forces at that time would have been in danger.
It can be said that it was Portugal and France that solved the crisis of the Protestant coalition at that time and reversed the unfavorable situation at that time.
However, they now have no power to launch an attack on the church.
If they have such power, they can join Portugal and France at this time to attack the church from both sides to make them look good.
But the problem is that the military strength of the Protestant coalition is still too weak compared to the church side, and there is no comparability at all.
Therefore, now the Protestant side can only take this opportunity to rest and reorganize their troops to prepare for the next wave of war in the near future.
Yes, as a military commander on the Protestant side, Bisev knew very well what the future situation would be like. Don't look at the church now to deal with Portugal and France, but as long as Portugal and France are eliminated, the church will turn around and deal with them.
Originally, this was a very good opportunity, if the Protestant Church seized such an opportunity. Maybe we can unite with Portugal and France to deal with the church together.
????????????? Maybe, it¡¯s not necessarily possible to defeat the church princes in one go.
It¡¯s just that because the Protestant side¡¯s economy is about to collapse, they really don¡¯t have the strength to continue fighting.
If the Song Empire had not given them some help through some secret channels, then they would not have been able to support this war for such a long time, and the army would have been dispersed long ago.
Even so, some people on the side of the Protestant coalition were wavering.
They thought they should take this opportunity to surrender to the church's forces.
Thinking about it, it is impossible for the church to do anything to them.
The worst case scenario is just to lose some money.
Bisev sneered at people who had such thoughts, thinking that they were all short-sighted idiots.
Can¡¯t the church see that they are no longer good?
People have already seen it.
Otherwise, the church will not find a stall and turn around to deal with the Portuguese France, but just let the army stand here to confront them.
In fact, the confrontation here is nothing more than to contain them.
Just so that they can deal with Portugal and France with peace of mind.
What¡¯s ridiculous is that some idiots in the Protestant coalition actually want to take this opportunity to negotiate peace with the church.
Okay, even if it is acceptable to the church, as long as Portugal and France are resolved, the church will still use various means to deal with them.
Now, although they are facing a lot of pressure, they are not without opportunities.
After all, these people are all united together, and it will take a lot of effort for the church to deal with them.
But if they make peace with the church now, the Protestant church will immediately fall apart.
When the time comes, they will definitely be dealt with by the church one by one.
By that time, no one can resist even if they want to.
Bisef is not a fool. He has already foreseen the consequences of negotiating with the church.
However, those who have been frightened out of fear no longer have the courage to continue to fight against the church.
Bisef felt very disgusted with these guys.
Because they can't see the situation clearly at all, they just care about the little profit in front of them.
If they had any foresight, they would know that they can only continue to fight against the church, and while most of the church's energy is focused on Portugal and France, they will give the church military power in the Netherlands. Only if you come here can you create a chance for yourself.
You know, even the Dutch have seen this.
Otherwise, when they learned that people from the American Song Empire had taken away their American colonies,?He will get angry in a moment.
However, the Dutch not only did not get angry, they also endured it.
Isn¡¯t what you do is the overall situation?
But unlike the Dutch, some other forces were frightened by the church.
After all, the church has a strong army and a very prosperous economy.
It¡¯s really not something their small group can handle.
But, what¡¯s the use of regretting now.
They should have thought of this when they first joined forces.
They are all brainless guys.
Bisef sighed helplessly, with a tired expression on his face.
To be honest, he is really tired physically and mentally now that he is commanding this church coalition.
Although everyone is united, there are still many intrigues.
It can be seen from this that even if they defeated the church coalition, the Protestant religion was recognized.
But in the end, there was still no way to escape from a vicious cycle of internal fighting.
By then, high-level power struggles and territorial disputes among some forces will be on the table.
At this time, the army should take the initiative to attack the enemy on the opposite side, instead of confronting the opponent here.
The current situation is that one's side is completely led by the opponent's nose, and one's side has no initiative at all.
This is a very unwise approach in war.
However, Bisef¡¯s proposal did not gain much understanding and support.
On the contrary, everyone thinks that we should take this opportunity to rest and reorganize the army.
It¡¯s rare that the church has now focused its attention on Portugal and France. This place can finally be clean.
Too many people have died here in the Netherlands, and we should relax a little now.
They are all a bunch of idiots!
There is no military vision at all.
I really don¡¯t know what they were thinking. Why did they go against the church in the first place?
Since you have chosen to use military and force to confront, you should stick to it.
Rather than giving up halfway.
Now this trend of thought has begun to spread in the military camp, and many soldiers have no intention of fighting.
Everyone wants to end the war and go home.
It can be said that morale has been extremely low.
With this kind of military morale, if the church defeats Portugal and France, and then turns around and continues to fight against them, perhaps a line of defense that charges the Protestant coalition forces will be broken through.
Bisev predicted the future very pessimistically.
In fact, considering the current situation, the spread of various pessimistic emotions, and the feeling of shame in the military, it is inevitable that he does not have this pessimistic view.
Because it is the truth.
Bisev really felt helpless for those idiots in the Protestant coalition.
Whenever he thinks about their behavior, appearance and thoughts, Bisef feels helpless from the bottom of his heart.
¡°In today¡¯s Protestant coalition, only the Swedes and the Dutch have the same idea as themselves.
The other people basically want to surrender.
These bastards!
They don¡¯t want to think about it, will the church really let them go in the future?
Bisef still knows the church very well. It is precisely because of his understanding that he does not think that surrender-style peace talks are a good choice.
In fact, the church is very mysterious and aloof to ordinary people.
The same is true for some minor nobles.
However, for some big nobles who control the army and have real power, the church is nothing like that.
In fact, everyone knows what kind of virtue everyone has.
For some of the darkness of the church, the powerful nobles are also aware of it.
The reason is simple, because many nobles will join forces with the church to exploit the people together.
At the same time, the church will also try its best to win over some nobles who hold real power and let them "serve" the church.
To put it bluntly, everyone is in a relationship of mutual use.
The nobles used the divine power of the church, and the church used the secular power and military power of the nobles.
It¡¯s just that the people at the bottom cannot understand these things.
? ?But for people like Bisev, this is simply no secret.
Bisev himself came from a noble family in the Holy Roman Empire. It was only because he was not the legitimate son and had no inheritance rights from the family that he came out to work alone.
It was through his own efforts that he reached his current position.
When he was still in the Holy Roman Empire, he had seen too many dark things done by the church.
Therefore, he is not interested in the church.
Although he came from a noble family in the Holy Roman Empire, he didn't have much affection for his original family.
Because he was not a legitimate son and his mother¡¯s background was not good, he was bullied at home.
It can be said that not only does he have no feelings for his original family, but he also hates it very much.
And some people from the United Church, my original family, always bullied the common people.
He couldn¡¯t stand this kind of thing.
It can be said that Bisev joined this war with hatred for the church and the Holy Roman Empire.
It is well known on the European continent that the church has two golden thugs, one is the Spanish Empire, and the other is the Holy Roman Empire.
With the support of these two large empires, plus some small princely states, the church can be so powerful.
But now, one of the church¡¯s two hands has been lost.
?For Protestantism, this is really an opportunity.
Bisef looked at the military situation map of the Netherlands with a serious expression on his face.
Because after his continuous lobbying efforts, those short-sighted guys were not moved by him at all.
Although the Dutch and Swedes expressed support for themselves, these supports were of little use.
Because both the Dutch and the Swedes are having problems with their domestic economies.
Therefore, they have no way to give themselves substantial support.
At the same time, they also have to consider the wishes of other Protestant forces.
Besides, if we take the initiative to attack the church side in the confrontation now, it is simply not possible to rely solely on the Swedes, the Dutch, and Bisev's private army of 600 people.
Therefore, the only way is to convince everyone in the Protestant coalition and let everyone send troops together.
And without the big guys acting together, neither the Swedes nor the Dutch would dare to take risks.
¡° Even if the Dutch and Swedes knew clearly that what Bisev said was true, it would not be okay for the situation to remain as it is.
well!
Bisev sighed deeply again, his shoulders drooping slightly.
Bisef is about thirty years old, with curly brown hair and a curvy moustache. He is very in line with the standards of a handsome man in this era.
He was dressed in a costume somewhat similar to that of a Spanish aristocrat, which made him very energetic.
However, because of the recent hard work and stress, he looks a lot older.
"Sir, there are people outside who claim to be the American Song Empire who want to see you. I wonder if you want to see them, sir?"
At this time, the guard came in from outside the tent to report.
"Are they from the Song Empire? They are probably sending some food. You just take them to find the quartermaster."
Bisef waved his hand.
In the past six months, the Song Empire established concessions on the European continent and provided them with a lot of assistance.
It¡¯s just that the amount of assistance each time is not very large.
Basically, it¡¯s just some food and clothing, but no cash at all.
But after all, some aid was given to them free of charge, and the Protestant side was indeed short of food, so no one refused.
Now that Bisev is in very difficult circumstances, he has no intention of seeing him.
In Bisef¡¯s view, the other party¡¯s visit this time was nothing more than this, and it was no big deal at all.
However, the guard who came in to report did not leave.
He loudly said again: "Sir, the other party has specified that they want to see you, and they don't seem to be here to deliver anything."
The guard saw the outfits of Jenny and her group.
????????????????????????????? Jenny and her group, who are travel-stained, all came on horseback.
Behind them, there were no vehicles at all.
So no matter how you look at it, it doesn¡¯t look like you¡¯re here to give something away.
At the same time, the girl on the other side who looked like the leader had a very serious tone when she said she wanted to see Bisev. She must have something important to do.
When Bisef heard what the guard said, he retracted his thoughts.
¡°Okay, okay, let them come in. After all, they gave us so many things, it¡¯s not good if I don¡¯t see them.¡±
Bisef only reluctantly agreed to see the other party for the sake of the small amount of assistance in the past six months.
Because he doesn¡¯t want to make the relationship too tense.
You must know that from the time of the war with the church to the present, only the Song Empire has continuously provided small amounts of aid to the Protestants.
So, they can be considered a friend.
Now is the time when the Protestant coalition is in trouble, so the more times it is like this, the less likely it is to offend too many people. (To be continued.
