Any international political and military organization must set a hostile goal for itself from the day it is established, otherwise it will have no meaning of existence.

Therefore, if the Justice League is to be established, it must first choose an enemy for itself - in this era, no country is more suitable to play this role than Osman.

"Everyone, we European countries are all believers in the Lord. There is really no need to fight or even fight each other over different interpretations of doctrine. We actually have a common enemy, which is to seize Constantinople.

It insulted the glory of Rome in the past. It occupied Jerusalem and stained the glory of the Lord. It continued to expand eastward, putting the city of Rome under constant threat. It blocked the trade routes and forced us to go around half of the world to get to the Ottomans in the east!

In the past years, under the leadership of successive outstanding popes, Europe was home to countless devout kings, warriors and even civilians. They came one after another and sacrificed everything they had to defend Jerusalem!

Now, Archangel Michael is guarding me and my brother were born in this era. Our natural mission is to completely eliminate the Ottomans and let the glory of Rome come to Constantinople again!

In the past hundred years, Europe has become poorer day by day due to wars and natural disasters. In order to survive, our people have no choice but to cross the ocean and go to the distant New World to survive. However, the barren mountains and mountains of the New World are not only home to the barbaric, ignorant, warlike and cruel Indians.

People, as well as all kinds of unheard of diseases. Where can it compare to the rich and prosperous Asia Minor? Where can it compare with the productive southern coast of the Mediterranean? Where can it compare with the Mesopotamia plain surrounded by two rivers?

So, let us abandon our prejudices and unite! Use our common strength to open up new lands, seize new wealth, and obtain new glory! Glory belongs to Europe, glory belongs to Christ, and glory belongs to Rome~!"

"Glory to Christ, glory to Rome~!"

The exciting speech is over. Although Philip's speech was high-sounding, his speech was not new compared to previous popes. The people below will have no difficulty in understanding the profound meaning of his words. In short, the above paragraph is

One meaning: Everyone is having a hard time, and they are fighting each other over the so-called doctrines. The only way to get rich quickly is to rob the pagans on the southern coast of the Mediterranean and the Middle East!

Finally, someone is finally going to take us to the land of the East to make a fortune again! This call is most attractive to those middle and low-level nobles and knights who hope to change their personal and family destiny through military exploits. These guys are still excited.

There was a big parade in Paris, shouting various slogans. It made Paris, which had just experienced the partition of the country, look like it was celebrating the death of France enthusiastically...

Whether it is carnival or sorrow among the middle and lower classes, it is not the time for the top figures in Western Europe to care about it. Headed by Philip, the Pope, the Holy Roman Emperor, the British Crown Prince Charles I, the Danish King Christian IV and the newly released

After the public meeting, the Dutch and French princes naturally began to discuss the specific charter of this alliance behind closed doors.

Spain, which was originally the only superpower in Europe, became even more powerful after this three-year war. Therefore, since Philip IV said that he would establish the Justice League, it must be established.

However, how to operate it specifically requires everyone to sit down and discuss it. Moreover, in this alliance, in order to give full play to the enthusiasm of various allies, Philip has to make certain concessions to these guys.

From May to September of this year, during long-term negotiations, quarrels and even nearly fighting again, the charter of the alliance was finally established, and all Western European countries and influential princes and nobles signed and approved it.

Organization name: Christian Justice League.

Goal: Unite all the Lord’s believers, spread the Lord’s glory to the whole world, and destroy all the Lord’s enemies.

In terms of internal management, the first rule is that the countries and principalities participating in this alliance must adopt a consistent stance towards the outside world politically and implement common defense militarily - that is, if any country outside the alliance attacks the alliance

If an internal member launches a war, it is deemed to have launched a war against all members of the alliance. As for an internal member of the alliance launching a war against a country outside the alliance, other members must at least maintain goodwill and neutrality. As for diplomacy, it is also required to adopt a unified stance and speak to the outside world with one voice.

Economically, all countries have unanimously agreed to adopt the Spanish double pillar as a unified currency. All countries have unified commercial taxes. Members within the alliance only charge 5 to 10% tariffs from each other, while members outside the alliance charge at least 30% of tariffs.

In terms of belief, the alliance has determined that as long as you believe in Christ, you are considered a fellow believer. The persecution of so-called heretics, the arrest of witches, etc. will all stop. Each believer's understanding and explanation of Christian doctrine, etc., as long as it does not involve some of the most fundamental things: such as

Speeches that deny the existence of Christ and deny the existence of God are generally not restrained by coercive means.

If there is a dispute about beliefs, the alliance provides newspapers, open forums and other means for everyone to debate on their own. It is strictly prohibited to use violent means to promote one's own sect or attack other sects.

In terms of equipment, Spain has promised to gradually unify equipment for members of the alliance. Members of the alliance will gradually unify standard weapon standards and production standards.

In terms of culture, the members of the alliance have designated Latin and its scripts as the official language and script. Latin will be promoted in all schools and churches within the members...

Of course, since it is an international organization, it definitely needs a permanent agency to maintain the operation of the alliance. After consultations by the participating countries, the Justice League Standing Council was established. The League headquarters and the offices of the Council are both located in Madrid.

When encountering major events within the alliance, it is necessary to adopt the method of consultation and voting to achieve a consensus before collective action. In terms of voting rights, the two time travelers have one vote for the United Nations in later generations, no matter how big or small the country is. In order to compensate for the rights and interests of the big countries, they have set up

He scorned the one-vote veto method of the Five Permanent Standing Committee.

Then the Justice League adopted a method of dividing the voting proportion according to the strength of the country, and finally decided the voting result based on the proportion.

The specific plan is that Spain has 45% of the voting weight, Great Britain has 20%, Denmark has 15%, and many other small countries have 1% to 5% respectively. This setting prevents Spain from acting arbitrarily within the alliance.

The interests of one country ignore the needs of other members. If other members unite, they can also restrict Spain. It is precisely because of this that other members are willing to sign.

Of course, as the number of members in the alliance increases in the future, Spain's weight will continue to decline. But Philip estimates that no matter how much it drops, Spain will have at least 35% of the weight. Plus the many small countries controlled by Spain, it will still be enough to influence the alliance.

Voting results.

The general alliance pattern has been established. According to the habits of European royal families in this era, after the agreement is signed, marriage is needed for further consolidation.

After all, Spain is still a country where Catholics have an absolute majority. Therefore, no matter how much Philip advocates religious reconciliation, in order to take care of the national sentiment, he still dare not marry a princess from a Protestant country. After many weighings, he married the girl who had just married

Elizabeth, daughter of Henry IV of France, who was beheaded.

However, in order to show his unwavering determination for religious reconciliation, he asked his brother Rudolf to marry Leonora, the daughter of the King of Denmark.

The two most powerful people in Spain want to use marriage to appease France and tighten Denmark. Of course, Britain, another big country in the alliance, also needs to use marriage to consolidate their relationship.

Unfortunately, Catholicism practices monogamy. Although everyone has countless lovers outside, at least on the surface, a man can only have one wife.

Therefore, Philip, who could no longer marry a wife, had no choice but to arrange an engagement between his sister, Philip III's daughter Maria, and the British Crown Prince Charles.
