"Cousin, as you know, neither King Rotherf nor the Engru have openly offered to send troops, and the Grand Duke of Luxon is not necessarily willing to borrow troops from outsiders, so this war is still within the control of me and the Luxonians, and will not spread into a long-term war that we in Lorraine cannot afford. ”

Linar's face looked a little better, and she glanced at Charles and said, "Are you afraid that my status as a Pruss will provoke the Engru to join the war?"

"Not only the Engla, but also the Byans, I have heard that the Byans are becoming less and less dominant in the Nilan region, and they are certainly not willing to have a neighbor who is too strong, and they will not let go of this opportunity to weaken us if the war expands. ”

Charles is telling the truth, the Florians and Spaya have just reached an armistice, and the two sides have not yet freed themselves from the state of mutual hatred, and now they feel that any abnormal actions of the other party are aimed at themselves, and the Duchy of Lucerne is located in a critical position between Niran, Florence, and Prus, and they will inevitably react strongly if there is a bit of a big wind.

Although Charles had informed the Flensian military that the Engru might intervene in the war that had not yet taken place and help the Lucers deal with their new Marquis of Lorraine, he did not want a direct military response from the military department, and hoped that they would issue a stern warning and deterrent to the Engru people, threatening them not to interfere in the war between the two nobles.

That's right, Charles actually wants to define this conflict within the scope of tearing between nobles, this kind of conflict between nobles is too common in mainland history, as long as it doesn't hit other territories, everyone just watches it.

Charles believed that the old men of the military department would not bother for the sake of an army that was still out of control, and sent an army that had lost a lot of blood from the war of Byja to fight for him.

If Charles really wanted to bring in a large number of foreign aid, it would not be to inform the military department, but to ask King Rosseff directly through His Royal Highness Boyle, and he also believed that the wise King Rosseff would understand his current decision, after all, Florence is really poor now, and may not have the accumulation and confidence to fight another full-scale war.

"You don't want the Engels and Worshipans to get involved, but this matter is not up to you, they are not targeting the small place of Lorraine, but the entire kingdom of Florence!"

Linar sat down in her chair with a sigh of relief, and returned to her indifferent appearance of "everything is under control", telling that it was not her who was angry just now.

"The Kingdom of Florence has been too strong and too tough in the past twenty years, and as long as every country on the continent has a conflict with him, it can only end up in a compromise? It is not until the military strength of the countries on the continent has increased rapidly in recent years that the situation has slowly changed. ”

"Last year's war between Florence and Spaya was the first time in recent years that Florence ended the war as a non-victor? King Ruseff must have been very depressed, but the rest of the nations were going to take this war as the beginning of a new era, and to continue, so they would continue to weaken the old beast of Florence whenever they had the chance. ”

Linar's words were spicy and direct, but I think Charles had already heard them when he was talking to King Rotherf on New Year's Eve, so they didn't feel so shocking.

"Then it will be necessary to see if the crippled Duke of Lucerne is really willing to go crazy, if he wants his territory to be stationed in the future with the army of the Engruns, then I also admire his open-mindedness and loser, otherwise he will refrain from playing a game with me between nobles. ”

Let someone else's army fight for itself? In the end, let people pat themselves on the ass, clean bastards? Is there such a good thing in the world?

Think about the stick country in the previous life, when the country was dying, he had to ask Citigroup to help him block the red iron flow surging from the north, and then the whole country was manipulated by Citigroup, and he had to look at the master's face when he farted, and if he had a bad face, he could only hold back the fart?

"I don't think the crippled but scheming Grand Duke of Luxon is a big fool, and he is more than willing to fight alone with me, a marquis who is a rank weaker than him in terms of both numbers and troops. ”

Linar smiled, looking at Charles with less disgust and more understanding, but she still didn't give Charles face.

"You are right, you are no match for the Duchy of Lucerne in terms of population and strength, and you are still very stupid? You do not accept my kindness and help, do you know that I am a kind of support for you by buying war bonds from you?"

"Cousin, aren't you already supporting me now? Didn't you promise to send me all the weapons and materials I gave you that day as soon as possible? Now everyone with a discerning eye knows that our cousins are involved, so even if the Sbayans and Engru really dare to participate in the war, they must consider your opinion, cousin. ”

Charles felt his face thicken, and his face was not red and his heart was beating when he said a lot of words that went against his will.

"Huh!"

Linar looked at Charles and smiled playfully, and asked lightly, "Since you have already ordered so many muskets, do you want to order some more artillery?"

"Of course, it's good! But ...... I don't have that many artillery, cousin, you know, artillery is not infantry, it is not trained in a day or two. ”

"Hehe, you don't have what I have! Why don't I send you an artillery to help?"

"That's a good proposal, but they can't come directly, you're like that!"

Charles's face was happy, and he dragged the chair under his buttocks to Linar's side, and said with this gesture: "Cousin, you can help me hire ten artillery commanders from the Prussian army, and temporarily join me in the form of mercenaries, and the ability does not need to be too strong, just the kind of artillery battalion commander who can coordinate the salvo of more than a dozen cannons." ”

"The commander of the artillery battalion with a salvo of more than a dozen guns?

Linar gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile, "But do you know how many artillery salvos King Rousseff can command? ”

"I don't know, but I have thirty or forty guns in my hand now, and I can coordinate them all to complete a salvo, how many can King Rotherf command? hundreds?"

The time that Charles has been in contact with the army for too short is that he is not sure about the level of artillery skills in this world, and he does not dare to guess the artillery command level of the "artillery experts".

Just a few days ago, more than 30 artillery pieces assigned by the military headquarters to the Lorraine Regiment were in place, and Charles immediately excitedly asked his artillery to perform a show for himself, and then he was smoked by his low-level performance.

An artillery company has three to five guns, a battalion has a dozen guns, and Charles has three battalions, but he can't find a single artilleryman who can calculate the number of artillery shots, and all rely on experience to be blind.

Seeing the indiscriminate bombardment of the artillery, the landing point of the shells was crooked, and Charles went up in a hurry to talk about chickens and ducks, which made a group of artillerymen stunned on the spot.

In desperation, Charles personally got started, but he almost lost his adult, it turned out that there were so many details to coordinate the salvo of dozens of artillery pieces towards the same target, and it took a lot of effort for Charles to coordinate the position of dozens of artillery pieces alone.

However, after calming down and studying for several days in a row, and breaking down the coordination of artillery into step-by-step steps, he finally succeeded in completing the coordinated deployment, management, and command of the three artillery battalions yesterday, and also won the respect and admiration of all the artillery officers present.

"Can you command more than thirty pieces of artillery? Did you get the calculations for artillery control from the manuscripts left behind by Uncle Bourman?"

Charles saw a familiar glow in Linar's pink eyes again, and her seductive spell was unconsciously activated.
