Chapter 1492 Fight for Ottoman
Leopold didn't know how many people were moved by Louis XIV. When he saw the King of England proposed to vote, he immediately nodded and said, "I agree, vote directly and let everyone decide!"
Leopold also knew that faith is not so effective now.
In order to avoid more people, Louis XIV has also praised the establishment of the vote.
In his opinion, although the majesty and power of religion were far inferior to that of the past after the Reformation, it was still difficult to make the kings of Europe, like France, agree with the union with the pagans.
After all, not all countries are as powerful as France. For small countries, we still need to consider the reactions of the Holy See and the people in the country.
Now that the vote is taking place, Leopold believes he has a great chance of winning.
Louis XIV said: "Since everyone thinks it is possible to vote, I agree!"
"Then let's start!" Leopold waved his hand impatiently.
Louis XIV said: "Yes, but I have a suggestion that in order to express your true thoughts and not be disturbed by external interference, I hope to vote anonymously!"
"Vote anonymously?" Leopold frowned.
Holy Rome was a mess, and countries were not very convinced of his management on the surface. Now they voted anonymously, and the result was definitely not good for Leopold.
During the Thirty Years' War, at least half of the Holy Roman states stood opposite Austria.
If they voted openly, they might give Leopold some face, and it would be hard to say that they were anonymous.
Charles II said: "I agree!"
The Spanish king also said, "I agree!"
Leopold wanted to object, but all three powerful countries agreed, and he could only agree.
The voting process was very fast, and each person sent two pieces of paper, with the names of Louis XIV and Leopold written on them. Whoever they agreed with, they put the paper with whose name written was put into a wooden box.
The names on these pieces of paper are written by one person, and in addition, for a big country like Britain and France, each country can throw five pieces of paper.
At this time the vote ended, and King Carl XI of Sweden came to sing the votes.
Facts have proved that European countries can still distinguish which one is more important in faith or interests.
Most of the countries present voted for Louis XIV and recognized Louis XIV's plan.
After all, there is only one big power left except Europe.
If Europe cannot fight for the Ottoman Empire, once the Chinese Alliance forms an alliance with the Ottomans, Europe will be dead.
Even Leopold won the votes of the Holy Roman states. Apart from the five votes he voted by himself, he only received four votes of support, which made Leopold look embarrassed.
"The voting results come out, we elect King Louis of France as the commander of the coalition!" Carl announced loudly.
Louis XIV immediately walked into the middle and drew out the sword that symbolized power. The kings and marshals of various countries also drew out the swords and pointed at the sky slantedly.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the European Union today. I will lead everyone to defeat the Chinese Alliance and defend God's faith!" Louis XIV made a vow.
After everyone held a brief ceremony, Charles II asked: "His commander-in-chief, what are your plans for the Chinese army to increase its troops on the border?"
Louis XIV said in a deep voice: "Now the Chinese army has not attacked, Russia has surrendered. Our strength is not as strong as the Chinese army. It is inconvenient to take the initiative to attack, so we can only defend for the time being."
If Russia is still resisting, reinforcements can enter Russia. However, now that the Russian army surrenders and the European Union enters Russia again, they will only be beaten.
Charles II nodded, "I can't enter Russia at the moment, but what if the Chinese army takes the initiative to attack?"
Louis XIV said: "My plan to defend against the Chinese army has three steps. The first is to train our army and organize the troops of various countries into three to four groups to facilitate command. In this way, even if the Chinese army attacks, we should be able to withstand. The second is to send an envoy to Constantinople to meet the Ottoman Sultan, explain the intention of jointly confronting the Chinese alliance, and instigate the Ottoman attacking Cookland. If the Chinese army starts to attack Poland and the Ottoman attacking Ukraine, it can share the defensive pressure for us. If the Chinese army does not attack Poland and the Ottoman attacking Ukraine, it will attract the attention of the Chinese army and buy more time for us!"
Everyone nodded frequently when they heard the words, and were very satisfied with these two steps.
Louis XIV continued: "The third is to send someone to contact the Tsar to see if they can be brought back to our camp!"
The European army that came to Warsaw this time belonged to more than a dozen countries, and the command was indeed very chaotic.
Therefore, it is very necessary to reorganize these troops and establish a command system, otherwise it will be a mess.
If the Ottomans and the Chinese Alliance clash in Ukraine, then the flanks of the Chinese Alliance will be threatened and they will definitely not dare to attack Poland rashly.
In this way, the European Union will have more preparation time and can also reap profits.
Louis XIV's idea was very clear, and Charles II and others couldn't help but nod.
"I agree with these three plans, but I want to add something to it," said Charles II.
Louis XIV looked at him, "I don't know what I didn't expect?"
Charles II shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I believe everyone has heard that the Chinese Alliance is carrying out an industrial revolution. If we resist the invasion of the Chinese Alliance this time, the war will enter a stalemate stage. The industrial revolution has brought strong national strength to the Chinese Alliance. We must gain an advantage in the confrontation. In addition to confronting the Chinese Alliance in military affairs, all countries must also pay attention to the development of their own industries."
The industrial revolution that took place in the Chinese Union was not strong enough for Europe's inland countries, but Britain, France, Spain and the Netherlands, they felt huge pressure and impact.
Because a large number of missionaries and merchants sent back news, depicting the strength of the Chinese Alliance, they were frightened.
~~~~~~~
When European countries held a meeting in Warsaw, a delegation of the Chinese Alliance was departing from Moscow to Istanbul.
Gao Huan formulated a plan to disintegrate and split the current major empires very early.
Ottoman Türkiye, as the top three empires at this time, Gao Huan naturally would not turn a blind eye.
Before the Tsar surrendered, Gao Huan reminded Yuan Zongdi, who occupied Ukraine, to be careful of the Ottoman Turkish Empire.
Geographically speaking, the current Ottoman Empire must have felt the threat of the Chinese Alliance.
After Tsarist Russia surrendered, Gao Huan thought about the next move and prepared to attack Poland. However, when attacking Poland, he could not turn a blind eye to the Ottoman Empire beside him.
Therefore, Gao Huan sent an envoy to Istanbul, hoping to convince the Ottoman Empire to attack Europe with the Chinese Alliance.
