The Rise of the European Emperor

On the Austrian side, all the generals gathered in Graubünden, and His Majesty the Emperor also visited Graubünden, an important place in southeastern Switzerland, to discuss the plan of sending troops with the generals.

Because the Habsburg family had made preparations in advance, after a month of training, they already had the conditions to send troops. It is the beginning of September now, and the autumn harvest will not be long. At this time in previous years, the Habsburg family would never send troops. Because, before the autumn harvest, the Habsburg family, which relies on the agricultural output of the territory, is often the most financially difficult time.

However, because of Marin's support and Spanish loans, the Habsburg family has sufficient financial resources this year to maintain the war before the autumn harvest.

Moreover, Adolf Müller, His Majesty's new attendant, said that the Swiss Resistance Army would suffer the most if a war was launched before the autumn harvest. Although Switzerland is dominated by mountains, it also has arable land. Although the Swiss are now vigorously developing the mercenary industry, it doesn't mean they don't farm the land anymore. At most, it's just that the cultivated land is much less than that in the plains. The food of the Swiss also depends on the scattered cultivated land in the river valleys, valleys and lakeside flats among the high mountains.

Once the war breaks out, the Swiss Resistance Army will definitely mobilize the whole population. At that time, it will definitely affect the autumn harvest. The autumn harvest is affected, which means that food will be in short supply. The army of the Habsburg family came to a long-term siege, even if they couldn't break it, they could starve the Swiss resistance to death.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor knew that the autumn harvest was coming, and he chose to launch a war before the autumn harvest, in order to disrupt the autumn harvest order in the western Swiss states.

...

In addition, the identity of this Adolf Muller needs to be mentioned. On the surface, this person is the third son of a poor feudal knight family in Austria. He was originally a wandering knight. Only returned to Austria this spring, and became one of the attendants of His Majesty through the relationship of Frundsberg, a celebrity in front of the emperor.

But secretly, Adolf Muller is actually a spy of the North Sea State. When he became a wandering knight in his early years, he came to Beihai Kingdom and wanted to join the idol of the wandering knights, Marin (after all, Marin was the best among all the wandering knights, and he became a prince). However, because of his thin body, the army did not welcome him very much. Then, he wanted to switch to a civilian job, after all the knights were literate.

It was also a coincidence that because of his good memory, Kohler's subordinates took a fancy to him and thought he had the potential to be a spy. Then, he was trained as a spy. Kohler also took a fancy to him and let him study at Aurich University for two years.

Today, the 27-year-old Adolf Muller has become a very intelligent spy and belongs to Kohler's trump card.

Probably inspired by John Lafite's incorporation into the French court and becoming the favorite of the French king, Marin suddenly felt that he should also place a senior spy in the Austrian emperor's court.

It's not to inquire about the emperor's secrets or anything.

Because the spies of the North Sea State had infiltrated the Austrian court, it was not difficult to obtain the secrets. Marin sent Adolf Muller to lurk beside the emperor, not to inquire about secrets, but to give advice to His Majesty the emperor for convenience.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor is a native of this era, so he doesn't have many ideas. As for Marin, he didn't completely fall to the emperor, and he couldn't give the emperor his opinion at any time. Therefore, this requires a microphone to give the emperor advice. Of course, it cannot be revealed that Marin meant it.

And by giving advice to His Majesty the Emperor, this senior spy can also obtain a high position. It might be useful at critical moments in the future.

Then, Adolf Muller, who had an Austrian background, was selected and sent to the emperor's side. In order to quickly get close to the emperor, Marin also asked Kohler to use his relationship to find Frundsberg, a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and ask him to recommend Adolf Muller to join the emperor's entourage. Of course, the request for this relationship was oblique, and Frundsberg didn't know that it was Kohler's handling. Otherwise, you will be vigilant.

Moreover, Kohler also sent someone to revise Adolf Muller's resume in recent years. From staying in the North Sea country for a few years, to staying in the Teutonic country for a few years. As for the modification of the files in the Teutonic country, you can go to Marin's uncle Yule to handle it. After all, Yule is now the Chief State Secretary of the Teutonic Grand Regiment, so it shouldn't be too easy to do this.

After successfully becoming one of the emperor's attendants, Adolf Muller began to accompany the emperor and had the opportunity to give his opinions. No, about this war, Adolf Muller made a lot of comments. Of course, most of these opinions are instructions quietly given to him by Marin through spy channels.

After all, the Habsburg family is a poor family. Once a war breaks out, if they cannot gain an advantage in a short period of time, the Habsburg family's garbage finances may give up halfway. Therefore, in the early stage, Marin must support the Habsburg family. At the very least, let the Habsburg family gain a major advantage to boost confidence.

Therefore, Adolf Muller's suggestions to the emperor were all secretly recruited by Marin. And by raising these opinions, Adolf Muller really entered the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and became one of the favored attendants. No, Adolf Muller also attended the meeting of generals. Of course, the generals are sitting, he is standing...

...

In fact, the European generals of this era rarely paid attention to tactics and tactics. Most of them followed the traditional methods. If they could maintain military discipline and keep soldiers in formation, they were considered qualified. In addition, you must be able to count and understand the calculation of certain material distribution. Of course, some military officers who are poor in mathematics will also contract logistics tasks to businessmen, and let the businessmen help with calculation and distribution. However, doing so is easy to be corrupted by quartermasters who are businessmen. Therefore, most military officers of noble origin will learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equivalent to elementary school level, so as to know what they know and avoid being fooled.

In addition to computing power, the most important thing for officers from noble families is the basic ability to manage the army. just do it

Dear, this chapter is not finished, there is another page ^0^ Marching to maintain the formation, let the army obey orders, and send a simple phalanx to meet the enemy, basically it is qualified. Politicians with complex minds like Maximilian I are relatively rare in Europe in this era.

Therefore, after the military conference started, the generals didn't have much advice to offer. They just went straight to Huanglong - the city of Berne, and then cut off the French support line for the Swiss Resistance Army in the west. After all, without the support of the French, the Swiss Resistance Army could not last long.

Because our own troops have an absolute advantage, and the armor is sufficient, and the artillery and ammunition are also well prepared, no one thinks it is difficult. Therefore, the military meeting held by the emperor quickly reached an agreement-the army will be jointly led by Earl Ethel Frederick III (in charge of cavalry) and Frenzberg (in charge of infantry and artillery), Steady and steady, advance to the city of Bern.

At the meeting, Adolf Muller did not show his intelligence aloud. Because, he knew that if he came out at this time, he would win the appreciation of the emperor, but he would also offend many generals. You are an attendant, you are not even a fief knight, but you steal the limelight from the dukes and earls here, don't you want to mess around?

Therefore, after waiting for the generals to leave, Adolf Muller found an opportunity to say to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I have some ideas..."

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
