Chapter 616 Taking the initiative to take advantage
The army of the Kingdom of Madeira set off, and all the nobles and their families in the city went outside the city to see them off.
Frederick was fishing by the lake when a group of people suddenly appeared in the water and kidnapped him.
The dispute between the church and the royal family finally fell on his head.
The local church was polite and sincere and aimed at Frederick's preferences.
First it was a boat, then a carriage. During the several days of continuous transfer, there were delicate nuns accompanying them.
Frederick finally settled in a monastery in the mountains, where his sincerity was even greater.
Priest Neves, the representative of the local church, made a simple request. He asked Baron Porter to help establish a connection with Archduke Wesson. In the future, Baron Porter could be responsible for the trade between the two parties and give him a commission.
Neves said: "We have good wool and ore, these are what you need."
Frederick asked curiously: "I remember the Shakespeare family We are also doing business with the Kingdom of Madeira, why don’t we look for them?”
Neves replied: "The Shakespeare family only does business with agents of the royal family, and friendship bonds are only sold to them."
Frederick asked again: "Then you can go directly to Weiwei. Grand Duke Mori, don’t say anything like pagans. His business with the Church of Nature and the Church of Fire is huge, and he has no shortage of your Earth God Cult.”
Neves hesitated for a moment. , and finally sighed and said: "We don't have a boat."
Frederick was speechless. Does your Earth God Religion really only care about the ground and not what's in the water?
After thinking for a while, he said: "Based on my understanding of Archduke Wesson, you can write a business cooperation plan to him."
"The cooperation plan should include how many goods you sell every year, the quality of the goods, and the price."
"And how to pay, whether in gold and silver, barter, or both. Yes."
"The most important thing is that you have to write down your advantages and show that you can make more money by doing business with you. Otherwise, why doesn't Grand Duke Wesson cooperate with the royal family?"
< br>"One more thing, Grand Duke Wesson will definitely not listen to one side or the other. He will definitely ask the Shakespeare family and other people who know you well, and then make comparisons and finally make a judgment."
Neves's eyes twitched when he heard this. He was naturally the best at preaching and debating scriptures, so he was sent to discuss business matters.
But what the hell is a "business cooperation plan"? I have heard these words separately, but this is the first time I have seen them together.
Frederick had no choice but to teach him how to do it from scratch.
Now the only products available in the Kingdom of Madeira are wool and salted fish. Frederick made a suggestion to Neves, and asked the Earth God Cult to organize a survey to see what was there. Can be sold.
Neves killed snakes with a stick and asked Frederick to teach them how to do business.
The first professional business school in the Kingdom of Madeira was established in a remote monastery.
It's just that the true identity of Baron Harry Potter, the first president and professor of this college, was unknown to outsiders because it involved military secrets until the lid of the coffin was closed.
On the other side, Doss immediately received the news that Frederick had been kidnapped by the Earth God Cult.
"Don't worry about him." Doss said nonchalantly, "It's a bargain for less than thirty gold coins. What a loss."
Be careful when it comes to acting, Eugene. He "discovered" that the man was gone, so he tried to redeem Baron Potter through various channels.
The price of the ransom is naturally similar to that of Archduke Suarez, otherwise the other party will become suspicious.
At this price, it's enough to know that Wesson's army has no war horses and eats a lot of food. Don't expect more valuable information.
Doss asked someone to reply to Wesson's army, saying that Baron Potter ran away with the handsome little nun.
After receiving the reply, Eugene did not pay much attention and continued to prepare for the coming battle.
During the meeting that day, an officer from the Black Cat Force was reporting on the latest progress.
Bobo said to the officers at the regimental level and above of the Western Front Corps: "According to the information provided by Count Sampaio, the commander relied on artificial rainfall to delay the departure of the opponent's army for a month." "Because the roads were affected by rain. Impact, the enemy's main force is expected to arrive in early to mid-December."
"At that time, a hundred thousand troops will be stationed in the territory of the former Count Ortiz."
While he was reporting, some soldiers planted corresponding flags in the huge sand table.
There are already several flags of different colors on the territory of the former Count Ortiz.
The army of the Osmaga Empire has also made great achievements in intelligence work. The two sides exchange intelligence regularly, and the accuracy of the intelligence is now confirmed.
Eugene asked Chief of Staff Erich: "How long will it take for the entire army to be in place now?"
Erich replied: "According to the current progress, all combat troops will arrive at the end of November, and all logistics troops and supplies will be in place by mid-December."
"The simple railway through the mountains is expected to be completed in It will be opened at the end of January next year. "
The mountain road through the mountains is still too troublesome for Wesson's army, because Archduke Suarez did not dare to build the road too well for fear that it would be used by the enemy.
The Air Force Experimental Brigade found a good new road in the mountains. It was relatively smooth and straight, but it had to open seven or eight tunnels along the way, ranging from one to two hundred meters to as many as one kilometer.
As a result, the two sword masters who came to the site turned into excavators, and they were quite efficient.
The rails of the simple railway are relatively small, and the rails running on it are not trains, but cars with changed wheels. You can even put motorcycles directly on special racks.
This railway was originally planned to connect the Wesen Army and the new army logistics base in Osmaga. It is now used to pass through the mountains.
The people working here are all the original garrison here. Archduke Suarez gave them an order to build the railway according to military merit.
Eugene listened to the report while studying the sand table, and finally asked in a low voice: "Are you interested in fighting a big battle?"
Everyone around him nodded immediately and waited for the next step.
Eugene pointed at several places in the sand table with his baton and said: "We have been working hard recently to provoke the other side more and point their fingers at us."
"33rd Regiment, you are stationed at the front line of the fortress. Send out a battalion in turn, leave the village alone, and surround their town to extort money."
"We must give them the impression that we are here to make a fortune."
Walter, the leader of the 33rd Regiment. Take orders immediately.
They used to do this a lot when they were mercenaries. Sometimes when they ran out of money and food during the march, they would surround themselves with villages and towns to extort money.
Eugene continued: "The 31st Regiment, the 32nd Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment are arranged on the second and third lines of defense to make attack arrangements."
"When the enemy's main force attacks, the 33rd Regiment will withstand it first and consume the opponent's morale. The regiment and the 32nd Regiment saw the opportunity and took the initiative to attack."
"The Air Force conducted reconnaissance to detect the movements of the enemy's large forces as early as possible."
"This place..."
When he said this, he pointed to a basin in a hilly area about ten kilometers away from the fortress: "This place is surrounded by woods, and it stands to reason that it would be difficult for war horses to move."
"I speculate that the enemy will set up an important base here and discuss it with the Lord Protector of the Osmaga Empire. When we defeat the enemy, they will kill this place."
"Generally speaking This is the plan, who has anything to add?"
Others started talking about it.
The advantage of Wesen's army is its mobility and firepower projection across the ages. If it just stays in the direction, it cannot replace the advantage, so it takes the initiative to attack.
