The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Chapter 585 Second Alliance

The attack on Tunisia went very smoothly, and after turning it into a tributary state, their mission was basically completed.

The next step is to eliminate the surrounding pirates. The emperor has promised that as long as a pirate is eliminated, he will be given 1 gold lei, and so on, the highest pirate captain will be given 100 gold lei.

Such a bounty directly boosted the morale of the navy, which made them want to dig deep into the ground to dig out the pirates. After being able to use the port of Carthage, the Roman navy could easily carry out work along the coast.

In Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, envoys from various countries gathered here. They formally signed the second anti-Romanian alliance agreement on behalf of the country.

This time it was not only anti-Romania, but also England, Brandenburg, Russia, Hungary, Naples and all other Roman allies. They were led by John of Burgundy, and Sigismund of the Shinra was responsible for unifying the various fronts. This time they once again took out their wealth, with a total of 125,000 troops at their disposal.

"This is an important opportunity for our family to clear away its shame. We must not let it go."

Philip felt furious looking at his father's vicious expression, but Romania was too strong. Even if the alliance couldn't defeat it this time, it still hoped to weaken the opponent.

This time John learned his lesson, in order to defeat Rome he must first eliminate his allies. Brandenburg is the weaker country among the allies, so let's use him as a good start.

"Philip, I hope you understand that this battle is when the family can avenge its shame. If it fails, the family will never get out of here."

"I know father."

Although John really wants to defeat Rome, he is not stubborn. The most he can do now is to defeat Rome tactically. Strategically, that size alone can kill you. Therefore, his goal is still the throne of France. By becoming the king of France, he will have more chips and can gain a foothold on this continent.

The Duke of Orleans originally asked to attack England, but was persuaded by John to attack Brandenburg first. Austria will contain the army in the direction of Hungary, Saxony, Palatinate and Bavaria will attack Bohemia, and then John will lead the main force to attack Berlin. In this way, the overall situation in Central Europe will be determined, and the passage into Poland will also be opened.

Wladyslaw and Vytautas are thinking about revenge all the time. They can attack Russia and Rome in the east, and then attack together after the west is over to recapture Minsk and Kiev.

This is their specific plan, now it is time to assemble the army. Burgundy, Orleans, and Castile sent a total of 70,000 troops, and other countries contributed the remaining 50,000. Small countries like Genoa just joined in the fun and just contributed some money.

However, it would take a long time to assemble from now on, and John decided to attack Berlin first after the troops in Orleans and other parts of the HRE were assembled. This can also reduce food consumption a bit.

Sigismund took a look at John's plan and agreed with it. But if Bohemia is resolved peacefully, he can also directly attack Brandenburg.

The current situation is already in his favor. King Wenzel is dying, and Hus is gradually unable to bridge the internal differences. As in history, they are divided into two factions: the Holy Grail faction and the Tabor faction.

The Orthodox Church had no feelings at all, but the Tabor sect was too radical and claimed to confiscate all religious properties, including the Orthodox Church, which frightened the Archbishop of Brno into directly joining forces with the Holy Grail sect. They are also preparing to move all believers to Silesia, which is too dangerous.

The breakdown of the alliance allowed Sigismund to see an opportunity and decided to unite with the princes in the southern region to attack Bohemia. Anyway, his brother had only a few days to live. Who knows why he died by then?

Austria also joined the fight. As one of the powerful states in Central Europe, it was his duty to prevent the heretics from continuing to invade the Holy Land. Of course, he also wanted to show his strength to all the princes, so that there would be no resistance when inheriting his father-in-law's property.

The Habsburg family has always wanted to take back their ancestral land, so in recent years they have relied on the fertile output of the Vienna Basin to recruit and train the army. However, the Swiss Confederation was not a vegetarian. The militia formed by Swiss old farmers had strong combat effectiveness. Coupled with the mountainous terrain, it was a difficult nut to crack.

Vienna wanted to send troops from Linz and Tyrol together, but there was no response. The ancestors will definitely be angry when they see it. With such disunity, no wonder it is like this.

In Constantinople, four members of the Bartlan family re-signed the "Brotherly Covenant". In addition to the re-division of the spheres of influence, another addition was added: family members are committed to promoting Orthodoxy as the only orthodoxy and spreading it throughout the world.

Blood ties will fade one day, but religion will not. As long as religion is the bond, wars will basically not break out between families. This also provides them with insurance.

According to the Covenant, Russia and Brandenburg were still bounded on land by the Vistula River. Brandenburg can occupy the Oresund Strait, but Russia has to acquire Sweden and Norway.

The borders between Rome and Russia and Brandenburg were also confirmed. Rome received the Polish Galicia region and Krakow, while the border with Russia was based on the current border line.

As for the west, Stefan had already talked to Vlad about the situation with the Rhine as the boundary. Considering that Brandenburg still has part of its territory to the west, it does not require full occupation. As long as Alsace is enough, the Burgundy region also requires more than half, but it is still within the acceptable range.

They agreed that in the future, no matter who fired the first shot, the other brothers would join the war. As their commander, Rome would provide funds to support the war for other countries when necessary.

In order to start their plan, the other three quickly returned to their own countries. Peter also asked Baptiste to gather troops in Rome and Florence, and as long as the brothers fired the first shot, they would attack directly.

The Roman people had not yet reacted to this situation. The joy brought by the previous wedding had not yet left. Now the sense of security brought to them by the empire allowed them not to worry about foreign invasions, because the imperial army would wipe them out.

The different believers in Syria felt that life here was better than before, and their loyalty to Constantinople increased. Protecting the mosques in Jerusalem was also to appease a considerable proportion of pagans in the country. They were also part of the country.

However, the rulers of Mecca did not see that the other side was really peace-loving, because they found that the number of warships patrolling the Red Sea had increased. Was this going to attack them? Weren't they afraid of the revenge of millions of believers?

Oh, they really didn't seem to be afraid.
