In Cao Xun's mind, he hated the Knights of the Maltese Hospital!

Think of the heart-wrenching pain after the egg was bombed.

Think about the embarrassment of being surrounded by a group of doctors to check his eggs after being shot.

Think about the terrible prospect of the egg in the future.

Cao Xun decided that he would never die with the Knights of the Hospital of Malta!

As long as the battle of the Knights of the Hospital of Malta, he must take part and kill them!

This is terrible hatred. If he was hit by shells, bullets and knives and guns elsewhere, he would not be so angry, but the egg...

Lying on the camp bed, eating apples cut by Wang Sen, Cao Xun became angry for a while, thinking about knowing himself and the enemy, so he asked Wang Sen if he had any information about the "Knights of the Hospital of Malta".

Wang Sen wanted to please Cao Xun, so he worked early and put his intelligence and platters on it.

The full name of the Knights of the Hospital of Malta is the Knights of the Sovereign Military Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, Rhode Island and Malta. It is also known as the Knights of Saint John the Knights, which is the famous "Knights of the Hospital"!

This knight order is very famous in the west. This is the three famous knight orders in history, namely, the Hospitaller, the Templar and the Teutonic Knights.

They appeared during the Crusades during the medieval Catholic European invasion of the Middle East. Among them, the Knights of Hospital was founded in 1099. It was originally founded by Blessed Gerard, a nobleman of the Principality of Burgundy, and several companions in the hospital near the Church of St. John the Baptist in Jerusalem. Established, the main purpose is to take care of the wounded and pilgrims.

Later, the Crusaders broke down, and the Knights of Hospital evacuated Jerusalem and first settled on Rhodes in the Mediterranean.

Rhode Island is too close to the territory of the Ottoman Empire, so in 1522, the famous Barbary pirate Hayreddin, the king of pirates, the red-bearded Barbarossa Hayreddin, assisted the Ottoman Emperor Suleiman the Great in conquering Rhode Island. The Knights Hospitaller drove to the island of Malta, and the Knights Hospitaller gained the name of the Knights Hospitaller of Malta.

Wang Sen guards Cyprus. This is the hub of the Southeast Army's maritime transportation line. There must be no loss. He has a heavy responsibility. He pays attention to collecting information on the Mediterranean, just talk about gossip.

On the surface, the Knights of the Hospital of Malta are the righteous forces who have resisted the Ottoman tyranny, but in fact they are colleagues in the Southeast.

All pirates!

"Are they walking with Jinshang?" Cao Xun felt a little weird.

Yan Changwu, the pirate leader, does not shy away from saying that he is a pirate, and everyone who speaks is innocent.

As far as Cao Xun knows, the shining knights with white skins believe in "the strong enemy is present, fearless, courageous and loyal, worthy of God, honest, and would rather die than humiliate, protect the weak, no strange reason." They think they are. Tie Zhengzheng man!

The question is: if the Knights of the Hospital of Malta stay on the island of Malta, what can be done?

To rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, to rely on the sea to eat the sea, the magnificent knights, to make a living, then it is their task to "check" the passing ships to see if there are any heretics!

It was so bad that it was nothing for these knights to throw heretics into the sea.

Of course, if the heretics are willing to pay to redeem their lives, then it is not a problem for the knights to talk about mercy.

After going up to the mountain and meeting a tiger, the knights found the head of the Ottoman Empire. The Knights of the Hospital of Malta attacked a boat carrying pilgrims from Constantinople to Mecca and unloaded it on Crete. For the goods, the then Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim I used the Republic of Venice as an excuse to collude with the Knights of the Hospital of Malta. In spite of the firm denial of the Republic of Venice, he immediately sent 50,000 troops to expedition to Crete...

The Knights of the Hospital of Malta rushed to the pot, and Wang Sen told the story of the back of the Republic of Venice vividly. Hearing Cao Xun laughed, he forgot the pain!

After laughing, Cao Xun coldly snorted: "The 200,000 soldiers from Baotou can't make it to Rhode Island. There is a chance that someone from Cao will go to Malta with an army of 20,000 to ask for advice or two. Please ask Master Wang to find a map of Malta Island for me. Check it out!"

He is the deputy commander, directly commanding 10,000 soldiers, and can be strengthened to 10,000 Imperial Army to fight. If there are more troops, he will have to be specially approved by the military or dispatch a commander-level commander.

"Yes!" Wang Sen replied.

…

Not to mention Cao Xun’s vicious plan for the knights to go to the island of Malta, and a man-carrying boat is leaning on the side of an octagonal three-tier battleship in the White Fleet off the coast of Fatagusta Fortress. After coming over, several knights in red uniforms climbed up from the small boat along the rope net hanging on the tall bulwark of the battleship.

It is a manifestation of the backwardness of ancient battleships. No matter how high Ren Er's status is, he has to learn how to climb a monkey before he can board a ship!

Only Tier 1 battleships opened a small door in the middle of the hull to put the ladder up and down, but Tier 3 battleships did not have ladders.

After the knights boarded the upper deck of the battleship, the crew greeted several knights, and they saluted the leader among them: "Master Roland!"

Lord Roland Knight has brilliant blond hair. He was just in his early forties. He was handsome, sturdy and handsome. At first glance, he knew he was a holy knight!

He is the current commander of the Knights of the Hospital of Malta, and his position is the "Grand Marshal" of the Knights, equivalent to the deputy of the Grand Commander.

The establishment of the Knights of the Hospital of Malta is a bit messy. The highest commander is called the "Large Commander." The deputy of uukanshu.com is called the "grand marshal", and the head of the group is greater than the marshal.

Roland is French. He straightened his waist and stood straight. His behavior clearly exudes the unique habit of aristocratic children: he pays great attention to his personal image.

But his face was not good, and he said to the leader of the ship: "Admiral Delilva rejected our proposal to land and attack Cyprus!"

Admiral Lierva is the admiral of the Kingdom of Spain. His DD Admiral Lilva has once attacked the Southeastern Navy, but he returned home in despair and was given his brother to command the battle.

Hearing Lord Robert's words, the knights' complexions changed, and all of them cursed.

"The Spaniards are cowardly, how do they act like knights!"

"Their hearts are infected by the devil!"

"Only by landing can we kill all the heretics in the East!"

"It is God's will to destroy them!"

"Yes, God's will!"

…

The sentiment was surging, the knights yelled, and they had an incomparably deep hatred of the pagans in the East!

Seeing their performance, Roland frowned and sighed deeply.

The fleet had just discussed that he went to the flagship "Immaculate Conception" to discuss with the Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch, French, etc., and they all agreed to land and fight before defeating the main pagan fleet in the East.

Roland knew they were right, but he was under a lot of pressure, and he couldn't breathe.

Because the chief of the Knights of the Hospital of Malta, Ane de Clermont Gésson, died in Egypt a week ago, at the hands of Eastern pagans, and this chief only took office at the beginning of this year. In less than a year, he set the shortest time in office for the Chief of the Knights of the Hospital of Malta, and had a significant impact on the Knights.

If you can't avenge him, then you will be a knight in vain!
