Chapter 374: Venice into the pit (middle)

? o? b ??? up *? _?)? tz ??? + ?? \ "? o? # ??? o ?????? 1 ?? J? 6 | ?? Governor of a powerful country Leonardo Lore did n’t eat dry food. After realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately sent people to the Doge ’s Palace to invite more than a dozen decision-making figures from the Venetian Republic. \ R

These dozens of big names are only members of parliament on the bright side, but in fact, they are the heads of the families behind the ten largest chambers of commerce in Venice. Like the Barbarigo family where the previous governor was, the Loredan family where the current Governor Leonardo Loretang is, as well as the Mosenigo family and the Grimani family, are the wealthy housekeepers who control Venice. It is also the small group of people who decide the fate of Venice. \\ r

Leonardo Lore, though the governor of the Republic of Venice, has decision-making power in general matters. However, the major events related to the life and death of the Venetian Republic must definitely be decided by the leaders of a dozen chaebols. \\ r

In the afternoon, more than a dozen chaebol leaders gathered in the Great Conference Hall of the Doge ’s Palace to discuss the future of Venice. \\ r

However, some of them are full of doubts about Marin's words. So, Alani, a member of the Tron family, which is the main spice trade, said: \\ r

"Everyone, His Excellency Marin is now a special envoy representing the Pope. So, what he said is not necessarily credible. After all, he is going back to Rimini for Pope Pound. So, there is water in his words ... "Alani is spoken in the standard Latin of Europe in this era. At this time, English is only the language of small countries, and Latin is the lingua franca of Europe. \\ r

Marin smiled slightly, and did not take Senator Alani's words to heart. Moreover, this time he was really conscience. Because, he didn't lie ... So, after Marin smiled, said: \\ r

"Your Excellency Alani, though, I ’m the Pope ’s sect to make peace. But what I say is not a bit false. You are all people who have been in the political arena for many years. If I lie, everyone infers, it ’s still Can't tell? "\\ r

"Take my lord His Majesty Maximilian I, even if Rome has no reason to call everyone to siege Venice, but as long as the Pope's coronation is the bargaining chip, everyone thinks that Austria will send troops to attack Venice. Side back? "Marin said confidently. \\ r

"This ..." Many Members suddenly hesitated. \\ r

Everyone here knows that Maximilian I wanted to reign as emperor for a long time. Otherwise, it would not cost money to ask the Pariologos family to buy the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire. \\ r

However, after purchasing the Eastern Roman throne from the Pariorogs family, few countries recognized it. Because Maximilian I did not occupy Constantinople, most countries believed that Maximilian I, the Eastern Roman throne, was not known. \\ r

Most importantly, the Holy See ’s attitude is relatively ambiguous, and it has never expressed its position. It neither recognizes the legitimacy of the Emperor of Rome in Maximilian I nor denies it. \\ r

In fact, the Holy See is waiting for the expression of Maximilian I. This expression does not require money, but requires the real support of Maximilian I for the Papal State. \\ r

So, whether it is to recognize the identity of Emperor Maximilian I as the East Roman Emperor, or to hold a coronation ceremony for the identity of Emperor Maximilian I as the Holy Roman Emperor, it is possible to exchange Maximilian I for troops. \\ r

Therefore, many members of the parliament have changed their faces ... \\ r

However, Alani said unconvincingly: \\ r

"What if Maximilian I's Austria is willing to send troops? Venice has more money than the poor emperor and can hire more troops to repel their attack!" \\ r

Alani's words were endorsed by many Venetian lawmakers. But Marin said: \\ r

"Sir Alani, do n’t forget, the Holy See still has tens of thousands of troops in Rome ..." \\ r

"So what? There are more troops in Venice!" \\ r

"But what if the two sides attack together? Venice wants to stop the offensive of His Majesty Maximilian I. At this time, the Roman army will take the Rimini area and it will be effortless ..." \\ r

More than a dozen Venetian gangsters were suddenly silent. Indeed, if only one of the two had to be confronted, Venice was not afraid. However, if the two sides attack together, there is a problem. \\ r

The Rimini region is not close to the mainland of Venice, and is also separated by the principality of Ferrara. Although Alani despised the financial problems of Maximilian I in Austria. But it is undeniable that the fighting power of the Austrian army is much stronger than that of the Italian mercenaries. Even in the German region, in addition to the Swiss mercenaries, the combat effectiveness of the Austrian army ranks at the forefront. \\ r

Therefore, once the Austrians attack, Venice must go all out to defeat Austria's attack. At this time, Rome also sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the Rimini area, and the Venetians were unable to rescue. Otherwise, if you go to rescue the Rimini region, the homeland will be unsafe. Homeland security and the safety of the Rimini region are important, as long as you are not a fool, you know how to choose ... \\ r

"We can hire another 10,000 people to prepare for battle!" Alani said unswervingly. \\ r

"Your Excellency Alani, please note that the Holy See can call not only Austria but also France ..." \\ r

"France ..." Mentioned the name of France, and everyone's face suddenly changed. After all, the demon is at this time the strongest presence in Europe 6. \\ r

"What is the reason for the French to attack Venice?" Senator Amero of the Celsi family asked. \\ r

"Venice is rich, everyone knows it well?" Marin said unhurriedly. \\ r

The Venetian lawmakers present smiled first, and then their faces changed ... \\ r

"To attack Venice, as long as you win, you will surely be able to **** a large amount of wealth. If you capture the city of Venice, and grab the wealth worth ten million Ducat gold coins, it is all right. I think that the French have learned that Austria also sent troops Under the circumstances, I am happy to send troops together. "\\ r

"After all, France and Austria have joined forces, and Venice has only one reason to lose. At that time, the French will receive at least millions of gold coins in return. Moreover, the excuse to send troops is provided by the most prestigious Holy See in Europe. Reject? "\\ r

At this time, the Venetian legislators here are not speaking. Obviously, they also knew the stakes. Even though Venice did not offend France, "too much money" was the sin of the Venetians. If you are a Chinese, you will definitely say the phrase "the innocent and the guilty". Although the Venetian does not know this sentence, but the same reason, but understand. \\ r

Venice has money, and it has long won the eyes of European countries. However, Venice is very strong, and a single country has no certainty in winning Venice. Moreover, there is no reason to attack Venice ... \\ r

However, with the Holy See's call, it would be different. At that time, attacking Venice is equivalent to wearing a coat of justice ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and after attacking Venice, robbery, that is the practice of the army in this era ... \\ r

In particular, when the Holy Roman Empire will inevitably send troops, other countries will easily see opportunities ... \\ r

The Austrian army alone is able to attract most of the power that takes Venice. At this time, there will be another powerful army ... Venice will flee ......... r

Whether it is France or Spain. As long as one of these two strong powers stood up and took advantage of the fire, together with the Austrian army to attack Venice, Venice will be finished. \\ r

If Venice is captured, it goes without saying that the wealth in the homes of the dozen or so Venetian gangsters here will surely be robbed by the invading enemy forces. At that time, they will have problems even in survival, let alone live a decent life. Therefore, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly solidified ... The big brothers bowed their heads and began to think, more in their hearts ...
