Chapter 2176 Adolf Muller

In Austria, all the generals gathered in Graubinden, and His Majesty the Emperor also visited Graubinden, an important place in southeastern Switzerland, and began to discuss the plan of sending troops with the generals.

Because the Habsburg family made preparations in advance, after a few months of training, they had the conditions to send troops. It is now early September, and the autumn harvest will not be long before it will be. In previous years, the Habsburg family would never send troops. Because before the autumn harvest, it is often the most difficult time for the Habsburg family, which relies on the agricultural output of the territory.

However, due to Marin's support and Spanish loans, the Habsburg family has abundant financial resources this year and can maintain the war before the autumn harvest.

Moreover, His Majesty's new attendant, Adolf Muller, said that the Swiss Resistance Army was most uncomfortable when it launched a war before the autumn harvest. Although Switzerland is mainly mountainous, it also has arable land. Although the Swiss are vigorously developing the mercenary industry now, it does not mean that they do not farm. At most, it is just that the farmland is much less than that in the plains. The Swiss still rely on the scattered arable land in the valleys, valleys and lakesides to provide scattered arable land.

Once the war breaks out, the Swiss Resistance Army will definitely mobilize the whole nation. At that time, it will definitely affect the autumn harvest. The impact of the autumn harvest means food shortage. The Habsburg family's army will be in a long-term siege, and even if it is not defeated, the Swiss Resistance Army will starve to death.

Therefore, even though His Majesty the Emperor knew that the autumn harvest was about to be imminent, he chose to launch a war before the autumn harvest, in order to disrupt the autumn harvest order in western Switzerland.

...

In addition, we need to mention the identity of Adolf Muller. This person is the third son of a poor fief knight family in Austria. He was originally a wandering knight. He returned to Austria this spring and entrusted the relationship between Frenzberg, the hero in front of the emperor, to become one of the attendants of His Majesty the Emperor.

But secretly, Adolf Muller was actually a spy in the Beihai Kingdom. When he became a wandering knight in his early years, he came to the Beihai Kingdom and wanted to join the idol of the wandering knights (after all, Marin was the best among all the wandering knights, and they all became princes). However, because of his weak body, the army did not welcome him very much. Then, he wanted to transfer to civil servants, after all, the knights were all literate.

It was also a coincidence that because of his good memory, Kohler's subordinates took a fancy to him and thought he had the potential to be a spy. Then, they received training as a spy. Kohler also took a fancy to him and even allowed him to study at Orich University for two years.

Now, Adolf Muller, who is 27 years old, has become a very wise spy and belongs to Kohler's ace.

Perhaps inspired by John Lafite's intrusion into the French court and becoming the favorite minister of the French king, Marin suddenly felt that he should also install a high-level spy into the Austrian emperor's court.

It was not to find out the emperor's secrets, because the spies from the Beihai Kingdom had infiltrated the Austrian court, so it was not difficult to get the secrets. Marin sent Adolf Muller to lurk to the emperor, not to find out the secrets, but to make suggestions to His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor was an indigenous person of this era and had few ideas. And Malin did not completely turn to the emperor and could not give advice to the emperor at any time. Therefore, this requires a microphone to give advice to the emperor. Of course, it cannot be exposed that it is Malin's meaning.

By giving advice to His Majesty the Emperor, this senior spy can also gain a high position. It may be useful at critical moments in the future.

Then, Adolf Muller, who had an Austrian background, was selected and sent to the emperor. In order to quickly get close to the emperor, Marin asked Kohler to use his relationship to find Frenzberg, a famous figure in front of the emperor, and asked him to recommend Adolf Muller to join the emperor's ranks. Of course, the request for this relationship was a skewer, and Frenzberg did not know that this was done by Kohler. Otherwise, he would be vigilant.

Moreover, Kohler also sent someone to modify the resumes of Adolf Mull in the past few years. From spending a few years in the Beihai Kingdom to spending a few years in the Teutonic Kingdom. For the archives in the Teutonic Kingdom, you can just ask Marin's uncle Yule to handle them. After all, Yule is now the chief state secretary of the Head of the Teutonic Kingdom, so it should not be too simple to handle this matter.

After successfully becoming one of the emperor's attendants, Adolf Muller began to serve the emperor and had the opportunity to give advice. So, Adolf Muller made a lot of opinions about this war. Of course, most of these opinions were ordered by Marin to secretly give him through spy channels.

After all, the Habsburg family is poorer than the family. Once the war breaks out, if the advantage cannot be gained in a short period of time, the garbage finance of the Habsburg family will probably give up halfway. Therefore, in the early stage, Marin must support the Habsburg family. At least, the Habsburg family must gain a major advantage to enhance their confidence.

Therefore, the suggestions Adolf Muller gave to the emperor were all secretly advised by Marin. By giving these opinions, Adolf Muller indeed fell into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and became one of the favored attendants. So, the General Meeting and Adolf Muller also participated. Of course, the generals were sitting, and he was standing...

...

In fact, few European generals of this era focused on tactics and tactics. Most of them followed the traditional methods to maintain military discipline and keep soldiers in formation, even if they were qualified. In addition, they had to know how to calculate arithmetic and understand certain material allocation calculations. Of course, some officers with poor mathematical skills would also contract logistics tasks to merchants and ask merchants to help calculate and allocate. However, this would easily be greedy for military officers from merchants. Therefore, most officers from noble families would learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division equivalent to primary school level to be able to have a clear idea in their hearts and avoid being fooled.

In addition to computing power, the most important thing for officers from noble families is their basic management ability of the army. As long as they maintain their marching and combat, make the army obey orders, and send a simple phalanx to face the enemy, they will basically be qualified. Politicians like Maximilian I have a relatively complicated mind are relatively rare in Europe in this era.

Therefore, after the military meeting began, the generals could not provide much advice. They were nothing more than just going directly to the city of Bern, and then cutting off the route of the French in the west to support the Swiss Resistance Army. After all, the Swiss Resistance Army could not last long without the support of the French.

Because our side had an absolute advantage in military strength, had sufficient armor, and was well prepared for artillery and ammunition, no one thought it was difficult. Therefore, the military meeting held by the emperor soon reached an agreement-the army would steadily advance towards the city of Bern under the joint leadership of Etre Frederick III (in charge of cavalry) and Frenzberg (in charge of infantry and artillery).

At the meeting, Adolf Muller did not speak out for his intelligence. Because, he knew that at this time, he would certainly win the appreciation of the emperor, but he would also offend many generals. You are a servant, not even a fief knight, but you stole the limelight from the duke and count present. Do you not want to be a mess?

So, after the generals left, Adolf Muller found an opportunity to say to the emperor:
