The Eagle of Eastern Europe

News that Rome had captured Kiev quickly spread around, and Kiev suddenly became the focus of attention.

Lviv, Vinnytsia and other cities were paying close attention to the development of the situation. Wladyslaw, who was preparing troops and supplies in Krakow and preparing to attack Rome, also paid attention.

The fall of Kiev also caused rapid linkage in the surrounding areas, and Lithuania quickly lost a large area of ​​land around Kiev. Wladyslaw had to care about Lithuania first. Lithuania has expanded so fast in recent years that all local officials are using leftovers from the Golden Horde. It is also a backward country, even behind Moscow, so it can only Absorb Ross culture to help you develop.

Later, the original Grand Prince of Lithuania Jogela married Polish Queen Jadwiga and became the current Polish King Wladyslaw. Lithuania also developed along with it, and under the leadership of Vytautas, Lithuania's territory reached its highest level. But it didn't take long before they encountered the Cossack uprising and lost the land in central Ukraine.

Now that Kiev has been further lost, Lithuania's situation is precarious, and Vytautas' decision to resolve the Moscow matter first will worsen the situation in the south faster.

“What a headache”

Wladyslaw, who had just returned from the Sejm, had a headache when he saw Rome sending troops. He never expected that Rome could send troops on both sides, and that with the power of one country, it could suppress the anti-Romanian alliance. He completely underestimated Rome and overestimated the alliance.

The Sejm reluctantly agreed to recruit 12,000 soldiers, and only for three months. These nobles never considered the king's difficulties. When the war came, it was time for them to bargain. Wladyslaw could only spend a lot of time convincing the nobles one by one to vote for the war against Rome. And he also used a money offensive, and he almost pawned the crown.

"Your Majesty, when shall we set off?"

"Wait a little longer and leave when you're ready."

Wladyslaw prayed to God in the church, praying that the HRE army could hold on, and that he would come back to help as soon as Ukraine was solved.

Peter looked at the Earl of Holland below and spoke slowly.

"It turns out it's my old friend, Earl William. I wonder what you want to say when you come today?"

William knew that he came with a mission, so he saluted Peter and said. "The Duke of Burgundy sends you his sincere greetings. This war should never have happened. The friendship between these two countries has suffered an unprecedented attack. Now, it is time to repair it."

"Your Majesty the Duke hopes to negotiate peace with your country so that both parties can restore peace and return to the past."

Did you hear that right? The anti-Romanian alliance is actually going to negotiate for peace. They have only been fighting for a year and they can no longer hold on.

"If I remember correctly, you were clamoring for me to pay the price before. How come it has changed so quickly now?"

William's face was not red, and his heart was not beating. He said seriously: "Those people have been eliminated by Your Majesty. On the battlefield in Munich, the Duke has actually always wanted to coexist peacefully with your country, but some people were unwilling, so he lobbied everywhere. , the Duke couldn’t bear the pressure and had to join.”

This statement seems to describe John as a helpless little pitiful person. As if Burgundy wasn't up to him.

Peter wanted to laugh, but held it back. He now particularly wants to know what the other party's attitude is.

"You know, I am preparing to lead the army to reconnect with Sigismund. Because he listened to the slanders of some people, he put pressure on my brother, the ruler of Brandenburg, to abandon this place. My brother had no choice but to write to I’m asking the empire for help.”

William was almost defeated. The German king did put pressure on him, but it was of no use. Instead, he asked the other party to form an alliance to fight. As the quasi-emperor, Sigismund naturally had to persuade the other party to give up.

But who made the other party belong to the Bartland family, the most powerful family in Europe. Mircea's four sons and two daughters are all the top beings in Europe. Even Valois and Luxembourg cannot compare.

"His Majesty actually recognized His Highness Vlad's rule in Brandenburg, but the Electors such as the Palatinate did not agree and kept advocating an attack. This led to today's situation. This is also the reason for coming down."

Peter looked at the other party and felt that chatting was meaningless, so he went straight to the point. "If you want to negotiate a peace, what can you offer in exchange?"

"The Duke will persuade your Majesty to recognize your country's rule over Florence and Siena, and will also confirm His Highness Vlad's rule in Brandenburg. However, I hope that your Majesty will persuade Brandenburg to dissolve the alliance. This is The conditions we gave.”

Peter laughed at this. "That's all. You know I can get these things easily. Why should I use them as a condition for negotiation?"

"Your Majesty, the conditions are negotiable. Why don't you propose it and I can take it back to discuss it?"

Rome wanted many conditions for the peace talks: including recognition of the existing territory, recognition of the independence of the Swiss Confederation, recognition of the status of Vlad and Stefan, dissolution of the anti-Romanian alliance, and a series of conditions such as compensation. It scared William to death.

Don't blame him. The Roman Empire has many allies. He needs to consider each of his allies. And this is still the initial version. If allies come, who knows how many there will be?

"These are my conditions, it depends on your choice."

"Your Majesty, are these conditions a bit too much? Please understand, we don't have that much money."

Peter laughed loudly, "You can gather so many troops without money, and you can still have food and music without money. As far as I know, you don't look like you have no money. Go away quickly. Do you want me to send you off personally?"

William left in a hurry. There was a high probability that the alliance would not agree to these conditions. If they agreed, they would be suppressed by Rome. The compensation alone costs 3 million lei, which forces them to empty their coffers.

These were only Rome's conditions, there were also negotiations between Moscow, the Berlin League and England. If everyone wants to recognize each other's status, then let them be surrounded by the Bartland family forever.

Especially in England, a new person has changed in just a few months. Stefan continued to pursue northward, attempting to attack Scotland. At the same time, he also used the excuse of tracking down the remnants of Plantagenet to purge Parliament and places. Together with the appeasement of Ireland and Wales, England's stability improved.

From London to Moscow, from Berlin to Constantinople, a cross is looming over Europe. And from Naples to Constantinople to Novgorod is like a bow. The whole of Europe is basically locked by Rome. Even if Charlemagne is reincarnated, they will not be able to return to their heyday.
