On October 15, 1526, Suleiman had been in charge of Buda for thirty-nine days.

This time should be enough for the Hungarian palace to be completely renovated and given a new look to suit His Majesty Suleiman's status and taste.

However, the palace in Buda is still the same as before. Except for a brand new chapel that replaced the old chapel, there are no changes. This is not the efficiency of the Ottoman Empire.

This time the Ottomans did not repair and transform it in time.

Although they are extremely efficient, they really don't have enough manpower under the current situation.

His Majesty Suleiman's resources are unlimited. Of course, this is just the statement of the Ottoman propaganda department.

In fact, of course his power was limited, especially in the hinterland of Hungary, thousands of kilometers away from Istanbul. Of course, this did not mean that he could not organize enough manpower to decorate his new palace.

It's just that he wisely used the available manpower on other more urgent matters.

After all, Ladislaus was poaching him and causing problems for his employees.

"Your Majesty, in the past month, we have lost more than 14,000 civilians and 400 soldiers just on the transportation lines along the Danube." The numbers provided by Ibrahim Pasha were quite huge. "The civilians in other areas

About 3,500 people were also lost, accounting for about two-thirds of the deaths, while the others fled out of fear."

The number of Austrian elites was limited, but under their instigation, local Hungarian resisters were also extremely active in attacking transportation lines.

"Is it time to fully mobilize the Egyptian provinces?" Each province of the Ottoman Empire is participating in the conquest of Hungary, but the degree of participation is different. Some provinces, such as Egypt, have only carried out minimal mobilization. There are also

Huge reserves of food and manpower.

"No, it's not yet time. Let the Armenians and Georgians perform their duties first." Egypt's population and the food from the Nile River can be quickly transported to Europe through the Eastern Mediterranean now controlled by the Ottomans, but as long as the sea

If the traffic is smooth, the food and manpower of Syria and Jordan will be enough to cope with it.

"I think the Principality of Austria will not use up the power of the precious province my father left me, right? Only when the Spanish navy has been assembled and food needs to be completely transported by land, will it be necessary to mobilize the civilians of Egypt and Iraq. But you can

A warning of preparations has been issued in advance, so don't be too hasty." Compared with the Austrian army, Suleiman was still more worried about the Spanish fleet, and he wanted to reserve part of his national strength to deal with possible Spanish intervention.

"The intelligence agencies in Naples and Palermo had no warning, and those battleships were still in the Spanish mainland." Ibrahim Pasha's intelligence network was not very efficient in the Spanish mainland. Those inquisitions executed heretics day and night, although they produced many

It was an unjust case, but it did burn the traitors and potential traitors in the fence to ashes.

In Li Di's history, the Iberian Peninsula was the only region where the Xingyue Sect entered and was completely eliminated. This could not be achieved without extraordinary means.

The Inquisition established by generations of wise and decisive monarchs was definitely not intended to cause pain to their country.

However, the southern Italian region controlled by Ferdinand was not so strict. Different cultures inevitably reduced the country's control. Madrid's deterrent power here could not prevent some Italians from irrationally cooperating with the Ottoman Empire.

What's more, it was the focus of the Ottoman intelligence agency's work. Compared with Hungary, Italy was the area where Ibrahim Pasha worked hard. The Spanish overseas fleet has always been a worry for the Ottoman Empire.

There is also a trend of the Holy See, which is also an issue of great concern to the Ottomans.

"The Roman side sent Cardinal Fanese to crown Shauporai? Is it the Fanese whose sister was the mistress of Alexander VI?" In fact, the Ottoman Empire has detailed resumes of every red archbishop of the Roman Church.

have.

"That's true, Your Majesty, but this Fanese is definitely not just a villain who wants to beg for glory. He has been able to stand on the right side every time in the recent succession of real Popes. His wings are already quite full."

Ibrahim Pasha had intelligence inside the Cyric Church, which was coveted by the Habsburgs. Cyric believers everywhere in Spain and Austria had problems facing the Cyric Church beyond just being willing to fight them

, it also affects intelligence efficiency. Perhaps most spies will obey the orders of their superiors to monitor a red archbishop, but their enthusiasm for work is very limited.

The Ottoman intelligence apparatus had no such inherent flaws.

"After I deal with the Austrians and return to Istanbul, I will deal with the Medici and those red-skinned rats in Rome." Suleiman was not interested in this information for the time being. "Tell me why the loss of our transportation lines is out of control. For guerrillas

Our team is very experienced. After all, wasn’t this how we Ottomans attacked the Byzantine supply lines in the first place?”

"The guerrillas were not just formed spontaneously by Hungarians. According to the descriptions of the defeated soldiers, there should be a group of elites as the core of the guerrillas."

"It seems that compared to the previous owner in Buda, the one in Vienna is indeed more alert."

"These guerrillas can receive shelter and supplies from the enemy fleet on the Danube River, as well as local people providing intelligence. We cannot quickly deal with these enemies."

"The key is the fleet on the Danube. This is the source of the Austrians' small advantage. They provide more than limited support and a limited number of weapons." Suleiman realized the key to the problem. "This fleet

His presence emboldened those Hungarian rebels."

"How about transferring Hayreddin to the Danube?" Ibrahim Pasha suggested. With the support of this powerful druid and the slaves of Dagon and priests around him, the Ottoman temporary fleet attacked the Austrian river fleet.

The disadvantage is not that big.

Suleiman seriously considered this suggestion for a while, but he finally shook his head: "No, Spain's overseas fleet is the first threat. We can hold on by spreading our troops more dispersed. We can't do it for just ten people."

A few sails and oars combined will reduce our strength in a decisive battle with the Spaniards."

"We can go north to seek a decisive battle."

"No, they can continue to retreat. They can retreat for hundreds of miles along the Danube. Our supplies will become more and more difficult as we go north. This is fine here. We will consume it slowly. Of course, if he is really strong enough

I may not be able to give him a chance."

"You mean to allow him to surrender?" Even Suleiman had some scruples about the fighting power that the alliance between Austria and Spain had shown in the past few years.

If Ladislaus surrenders, it will certainly reduce the centripetal force of the Habsburg Alliance.

Ibrahim Pasha realized that although his master would not say it directly, he had already admitted that Ladislaus's fighting was still effective.

"Why not, I have already killed a Jagloni, and it will be enough to subdue a Habsburg. Of course, every year at my chosen time, he must crawl in front of me and thank me for my magnanimity.
