Chapter 856 Gathering troops in Vienna(1/2)
AD 1656, year 4353 of the Yellow Emperor calendar, June 5th.
More than two months have passed since the European countries signed the covenant.
The Holy Roman Empire promised to provide military expenses and was responsible for the supply of food and fodder for all armies.
England is responsible for providing naval equipment, supplying most of the artillery and shells.
France is responsible for providing army equipment, supplying most of the muskets and bullets.
Countries do not have to worry about material supplies and military equipment in the early stage.
They only need to provide officers and soldiers, and they also have a large number of British transport ships to transport the troops.
The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire has received news that the Allied forces have disembarked at the port of the Holy Roman Empire and are heading towards Vienna.
Vienna, the only remaining important city in the Holy Roman Empire, is of extraordinary significance to the Holy Roman Empire. This important city must not be allowed to fall.
The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire stood at the top of the city. He seemed to see the smoke of gunpowder more than fifty kilometers away.
Most of Austria's territory has been occupied by the Han people.
Vienna was about to become the front line of the war.
The Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg family have reached a critical moment of life and death.
Only then did he put down his arrogant head, get rid of the entanglement of the Pope, and ignore the conflict of beliefs.
Conflicts of faith are just appearances, but the essence is still a conflict of interests.
Otherwise, France, which is Catholic, would not help countries such as England, which is Protestant.
The tragic situation of the Holy Roman Empire and Russia has now frightened all countries in Europe.
Their core interests had been touched by the Han people, so they put aside their past grievances and formed an alliance to fight against the Han people together.
The Holy Roman Emperor heard the sound of drums coming from the west.
Duke Hadowy von Habsburg came over and reported: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé in France, has led 800,000 Allied troops and is about to arrive in Vienna.
.
Among them were 300,000 Russian serf troops, 200,000 troops of the German Federation, 200,000 troops of France, and 100,000 troops of England and other countries.
I estimate that the army with the strongest combat effectiveness will be France’s 200,000 troops, followed by the 200,000 troops of the German Federation.
The British army is useful, but the rest of the army has neglected training and can only fight against the wind."
The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire lamented: "This is already all the troops that European countries can produce.
Our Holy Roman Empire can still muster more than 200,000 troops.
Even if all the more than one million troops have to be wiped out, this war must be won.
If this war is defeated, our Holy Roman Empire may not still be able to exist."
After he sighed, he asked King Louis XIV of France and Prime Minister Cromwell of England, but neither came to Vienna.
The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire had full authority to send Duke Haddovey von Habsburg, as the representative of the Holy Roman Empire, to welcome the Allied forces from afar.
Duke Haddovey von Habsburg, kneels to accept the appointment as Holy Roman Emperor.
He immediately walked down the city wall, took a large amount of food, grass and beautiful women with him, and waited for the arrival of the allies in the camp prepared in advance.
Duke Haddovey von Habsburg led the generals of the Holy Roman Empire to meet the Allied forces outside the city.
They rode horses and came to the vicinity of the Confederate army and looked at the formations of these armies.
Duke Haddovey von Habsburg believed that his previous deduction was correct.
The French army has the most organized formation, while the Russian army basically has no formation.
They don't need to go to the battlefield, but just by looking at them, you can tell which army is the elite and which army is cannon fodder.
Duke Haddovey von Habsburg immediately came under the commanding banner.
He dismounted and saw Prince Condé, the commander of the Allied forces in armor, and performed the common aristocratic courtesy.
"Dear Prince Condé, on behalf of the Holy Roman Empire, I welcome the arrival of the Allied Forces.
We have prepared enough food, drinks and beautiful women in the camp."
Prince Condai said with satisfaction: "Let the soldiers rest in the camp. They have been tired from traveling and traveling for so long.
Only after you recharge your batteries can you deal with the ferocious Han people."
The Allied troops crossed the moat in formation and entered the city of Vienna.
They were warmly welcomed by the citizens of Vienna.
Some Allied officers also received handkerchiefs thrown by the little girl.
In order to provide enough space for the Allied forces, Vienna drove most of the poor people in the city to live outside the city.
They came to the prepared camp, where soldiers from France, England and other countries lived in the best places.
The Russian army could only live in Datongpu.
The Habsburgs knew that this war meant their family's survival.
They used the gold they had accumulated over hundreds of years to buy a large amount of food and grass to supply the army with sufficient food.
The German Federation was very poor. Their participation in the Allied Forces was a commitment from the Holy Roman Empire, as long as the German Federation promised to send troops.
The Holy Roman Empire will forgive all debts of the German Confederation and will also withdraw its garrison in the German Confederation.
France also showed similar interests. In order to seek normal national status, the German Federation chose to join the Allied Forces.
The military of poor countries usually do not receive good treatment.
Seeing the rich cuisine provided by Vienna, there is even egg and pork soup here.
The eyes of the soldier who kept eating carrot soup started to shine.
The appearance of the German army is common to many Allied armies.
Even the small soldiers in the English and French armies could only eat a few meals of meat and vegetables when the war was won.
The Russian serf army performed even worse.
Even if the other armies eat carrot soup, at least they will be full.
Usually they can only get a small piece of brown bread.
Nowadays, when faced with the unlimited supply of food, many people eat until they are full, clutching their stomachs and groaning.
Ordinary soldiers are treated very well, and officers are treated even better.
They ate steaks and roasted lamb legs, drank delicious wine, and watched beautiful women dancing.
After they had had enough wine and food, they hugged the beautiful woman and returned to the tent to rest.

Prince Condé, commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, convened key officers and representatives of elite soldiers from various countries to hold a swearing-in meeting in Vienna.
Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, holding a microphone sold by the Chinese Empire.
This magical instrument allows his voice to be heard clearly by many people present.
"I am your commander-in-chief, the Prince of Condé of France.
Yesterday you enjoyed happiness that you have never enjoyed before.
As long as this war is won, all the territories promised by the Holy Roman Emperor to be recaptured will be ceded to everyone.
Whether you are French, English, Spanish, or Russian, you can acquire a piece of land and become a veritable noble.
If you are loyal to your country, choose to give up the territory of the Holy Roman Empire.
When you return to your country, you will also be named a noble based on your military merits.
I hereby promise that as long as you can kill one enemy, you will at least become a knight and have your own knighthood."
When this reward was announced, it immediately aroused excitement in the army.
This reward has been circulated before, and many people don't believe it is true.
Now Prince Kongdai has personally promised that this reward is extremely real.
Everyone's morale was immediately aroused.
They dare to work hard, but what they fear most is that after working hard, there will be no gain.
The nobility of various European countries is a veritable enfeoffment system.
As long as they obtain a piece of territory, they can immediately become a force with real power through enfeoffment.
The family would prosper for hundreds of years.
Especially the officers present, most of them were born as nobles and concubines, and a few were down-and-out nobles.
They thought they had extraordinary blood, and they had been depressed before.
Now that there is an opportunity to restore the family's glory, no one wants to give up.
