1023 The Death of the Dead
Wallenstein was really a little confused. He really couldn't understand why Richelieu, the old fox, was so kind to him.
There were 20,000 cannons and 100,000 grenade guns, but they didn't even frown.
People still think that 50,000 war horses are missing, so they have to get him 100,000!
Moreover, these are all free. Isn’t it equivalent to giving away the copper mines in Poland and the United Kingdom of Lithuania?
If he can't defeat the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, wouldn't the entire continental alliance be in trouble!
Will the old fox Richelieu do such a thing as losing money but not taking advantage?
It's impossible!
Wallenstein was stunned for a while before he asked carefully: "Are you really doing these muskets, artillery and war horses for me in vain?"
You should have the conditions, right?
The Duke of Richelieu nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, we have conditions. As long as you can agree to our conditions, I will send these weapons, equipment and war horses to you as soon as possible."
Sure enough, there is no such good thing in the world.
This condition is probably scary.
After all, it is not that easy to help him win the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. If the Anti-Habsburg Alliance takes action, they may have to gather all their troops to win.
Wallenstein frowned and pondered for a while, then solemnly said: "Tell me about your conditions. If I can't do it, there is no need to talk about it."
The Duke of Richelieu smiled and said, "Our conditions are very simple. You must ensure that you continue to advance eastward after taking over the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania to attack the western border of the Ming Empire.
How about it, is it simple?"
Is this called simplicity?
Didn’t you tell me to die?
Wallenstein subconsciously shook his head and said, "No, the Ming Empire is too powerful. I rushed over and were looking for death."
Do you think you can refuse?
The Duke of Richelieu immediately tempted: "Don't you want to be a king? Do you want to build a huge empire? Do you want to fight for dominance in the world?"
Of course I want to!
Question, your condition is to kill me!
Wallenstein said helplessly: "So what if I become a king? How many days can I be this king?
You actually asked me to run to attack the Ming Empire. Isn’t that dead?"
The Duke of Richelieu continued to tempt, "You have to have confidence in yourself."
Think about it, how much troops can you achieve after you take over the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania?
One million, two million, two million, two million!
That's not what you want?
Besides, we are not letting you fight alone.
As long as you lead your army to attack, Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire will definitely send troops to help, and we will also find ways to get the Persian Empire to take action.
How many troops do you think the Ming Empire can have on the Western Front?
Two million?
Three million?
We have received the exact news that the four camps in the southeast, southwest and northwest of the Ming Empire had a total of only two million people.
They are just a relatively powerful navy, but the army is not good at all.
What are you afraid of when you really launch an attack on land?
Will the Bohemia Kingdom, Tsarist Russia, Ottoman Empire, and Persian Empire join forces to defeat the few troops on the Western Front?
Even if the Beidaying can support the Western Front, there will be only one million people in total. What are you afraid of?
Are you still afraid that the Ming Empire will concentrate all its efforts to deal with you?
Impossible.
You probably saw the world map produced by the Ming Empire. The southern border is tens of thousands of kilometers away from here, so it is impossible for them to come over to support them.
Not to mention the east, if they rush to transfer the troops from the Eastern Front, we will immediately attack the Americas!
Think about it, do they dare?"
This seems to make some sense.
There is really nothing to be afraid of in a million troops.
However, he is not the kind of brainless person either.
Richelieu, the old fox, is famous for killing people and not paying their lives.
He will not be fooled easily.
Wallenstein frowned and pondered for a while, and couldn't help but suddenly said: "How did the Mughal Empire perish? I believe you know better than me.
Do you want me to learn from the Mughal Empire and be cannon fodder for you?"
The Duke of Richelieu, who perished the Mughal Empire, naturally knew better than anyone else.
He also knew that if he wanted to fool Wallenstein, he would definitely think of the most miserable typical person he had cheated on.
He had already thought about how to explain this.
He said calmly: "You don't know how weak the Mughal Empire is. They can't even build muskets and cannons. And we only provided them with one or two thousand garbage cannons and ten thousand shoddy mesh rope guns every time.
Not to mention you, their strength can be easily dealt with even the Tsarist Russia or the Ottoman Empire.
I believe you also know that the Mughal Empire was the target of our colonization, and Portugal, Britain, and France had already begun to make arrangements.
If it weren't for the sudden rise of the Ming Empire, we were all ready to attack the Mughal Empire.
How can this kind of indigenous forces that have not developed compare to you?
That's right, we did let the Mughal Empire be cannon fodder at the beginning, and we had long expected that they could not defeat the Ming Empire.
But this time it's different.
Don't you know your strength?
Now the entire continental alliance is the strongest.
We really want to help you invade the western part of the Ming Empire, so that the Ming Empire will not be able to organize troops to attack the continent.
To be honest, this is the only way we can think of.
Do you think if we have other ways, can we give you such great benefits?"
This is indeed.
The Continental Union is really helpless now.
If he did not lead his army to attack the Ming Empire, and when the Ming Empire gathered forces and brought the West African Kingdom to fight, the European Union would not be able to withstand it.
Wallenstein was already a little moved by such a tone.
He still had a little confidence in himself. If the Ming Empire really had only one million troops on the Western Front, he would even be able to compete with others after obtaining enough weapons and equipment and war horses.
If Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire could really help, it would be really not difficult to enter the western part of the Ming Empire.
Thinking of this, he solemnly asked: "Will the Tsarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire really take action with me?"
Hehe, this guy was moved.
The Duke of Richelieu hurriedly added fire and said, "Don't forget that you are the commander of the Continental Union Army, and the army of Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire were originally under your command.
If you are worried, we can hold an alliance meeting and let the Tsarist Russia and the Ottoman Empire each take out 200,000 troops and give it to you for command.
As for the Persian Empire, I will find a way.
Anyway, it will take time for you to conquer the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and the Persian Empire will probably take action by then.
Let's do this, we can agree that the Persian Empire will take action, and you will take action again.
Although Wallenstein didn't know how to say these Ming words, he knew very well that the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania had lost all their hearts. He had to squirt in advance to cause chaos within the country, and then lead his army to rush forward and punch him in a mess!
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to say, "When will the weapons and equipment and war horses I need be delivered?"
Hehe, I was fooled.
The Duke of Richelieu immediately said solemnly: "I will try my best to arrange this for you. It is estimated that it will be almost done in more than a month.
However, we agreed in advance that after you take down the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, you will organize troops to attack the Ming Empire.
Otherwise, we will not only not continue to provide you with weapons, ammunition, money and food, but will also organize everyone to fight against you.
Anyway, as long as the Ming Empire organizes a large army to attack, we can't stand it in the west, so we can only escape east.
I hope you don’t force us to fight you to death!”
I'm not that stupid.
When I take over the western part of the Ming Empire, I will negotiate with the Ming Empire. At that time, I will join forces with the Ming Empire to deal with you first, and then deal with the Ming Empire in one fell swoop!
Well, he was a little clever when he thought so.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the western part of the Ming Dynasty. It would be strange if he could take it down.
The Duke of Richelieu tricked him into being cannon fodder, but he was a little more advanced than the cannon fodder of the Mughal Empire.
As for his ending, Duke Richelieu had already thought about it. When he fought with the Ming Empire and was unable to take it, they cut off the supply of weapons, equipment and ammunition, allowing him to fight to the death with the Ming Empire and be dealt with by the Ming Empire!
The Duke of Richelieu is a famous old fox. Can he really make Wallenstein successful?
This is naturally impossible!
Sometimes, the more you like to be smart, the more likely you are to be exploited.
