Chapter Seven: Kings and Chiefs
Warsaw
Camizir IV was very troubled. Byzantine envoys came to try to persuade the king to raise an army. At first, the king was not very interested in this proposal. Let alone whether he could win the battle, even if he won, it would not have much impact on him.
Benefits, as for the Byzantines' proposal to cede the Principality of Moldavia, he was even more disdainful. He used other people's money to do his own things. Did the Byzantines treat him as a fool?
However, something happened later that made him change his view. The Prussian Alliance sent people to secretly contact the king. They wanted to become independent from the Teutonic Knights and form a common federation with Poland. They sent people to test the king's opinion.
.
Of course, it is definitely not now. Historically, this thirteen-year war did not start until 1454. Now we are just here to make contact. Not only the King of Poland, the Emperor of the Shinra, Brandenburg and other places have also sent people to negotiate.
It's just that no one is very interested. Emperor Shinra is busy dealing with the opposition forces within the empire, and other countries are too weak to be willing to antagonize the Teutonic Knights.
The current problem is that the Ottoman desire to attack in the south is too strong. Last year, the Moldavia swore allegiance to the Ottoman Sultan. The Ottoman forces have crossed the Danube, although the Sultan wanted to capture Constantinople first.
Everyone knows it, but after the fall of Constantinople there is no guarantee that the Sultan will not look towards Poland.
The Danube River and the Carpathian Mountains are the natural defense line of southern Poland. Crossing the Danube River means that the Sudan can enter and exit the Polish Plains at will, and the Polish hinterland is no longer dangerous.
"The Ottomans are powerful. Even if I am willing to send troops, what are your chances of winning?" Camizir IV on the throne has a resolute face with a Chinese character.
"Through multiple contacts, our lord can bring out a hundred thousand troops. As long as the Ottomans dare to take action, they will be wiped out in a short time." Sito said confidently.
This is of course an exaggeration. If he really had so many troops, he wouldn't have to send an envoy to Poland. You know, the combined British and French troops in the Battle of Agincourt only had 35,000 troops, but that battle changed everything.
The pattern of the entire Western Europe.
"Oh? Since your country is so sure, why do you come to me?"
The king knew that he was bragging. This was normal. He still barked a few words when killing a pig, let alone a country that was about to perish.
"The more troops, the better. The more people there are, the smaller the price we all have to pay."
"What's more, this trip is not all for my Lord, but also for you."
"How do you say this? Could it be that the Ottomans came to graze on the Polish grasslands, ignoring Constantinople, which is so close at hand?" the king said not very convinced.
"The Polish Hussars are famous all over the world, but the Ottoman army is not bad either." Seeing that the king took the bait, Sito analyzed it for the king.
"Once Constantinople falls and the Ottomans attack Warsaw, will the king himself guess whether he can resist the Ottoman army?"
"This..." The king hesitated.
"The king also thought, how many allies can be summoned to resist the Ottoman army?"
"Think again, Your Majesty, is there any city under your command that is stronger than Constantinople?"
The king shook his head.
"Now the king's army is not as good as that of the Ottomans, his allies are not as many as those of Byzantium, and his city is not stronger than Constantinople. Now even the natural dangers of the Danube are shared by the Ottomans. Once the Ottomans move north, I really don't know what you should do
