The Eagle of Eastern Europe

In the Great Palace of Constantinople, Peter sat on a high seat and looked at the Georgian king who was being escorted in. He should be called Alexander the last king.

The Roman army starting from Trebizond eliminated the Georgian defenders of Batumi and Sukhumi as quickly as possible, and then attacked Tbilisi directly. Alexander was unexpected and quickly sent people to guard the place.

There were only 5,000 defenders in the entire Tbilisi, which was not worth mentioning to the well-trained Roman army. They were alone here, and the artillery transported from Trebizond also arrived. They directly used the artillery to blow open the city wall, and then rushed into the palace and captured Alexander.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would be so impatient and destroy the efforts of several generations of Georgian kings in just one month."

Peter heard his strange mood and said: "Who asked you to collude with Poland to try to overthrow my rule? Moreover, you only looked for Poland, but you also looked for heretics. Aren't you afraid of God's blame?"

"As long as it's for Georgia, God will forgive me."

Well, he was hopeless. Anyway, the goal has been achieved, let him live in Constantinople forever.

Peter waved his hand and was led down. After annexing Georgia, Rome established a direct foothold in the Caucasus and also gave Yerevan a guarantee.

"Georgia is gone, so Poland is next. Rule my two good brothers, get ready for action."

Mihai and Vlad have already left Constantinople. According to the plan, Russia should take the lead, but it is not impossible if other countries are willing to help.

Klescu, who was returning to the city from the port, seemed a little preoccupied. If he followed his usual habits, he would definitely stop at the port market he was passing by, because the market at dusk was always filled with a carnival atmosphere, acrobatics, etc. , dance, juggling, comedy performances... Various entertainment programs attract tourists to stop and watch, while the vendors display various exquisite and unique handicrafts, or various fragrant foods, and shout to each other to attract them. Customers... The port market from dusk to evening is home to street performers and vendors. It is also a good place for the citizens of Constantinople to take a stroll after dinner.

His home is next to the racing arena. Although there are fewer competitions, people living near the arena will inevitably be disturbed by the noise. Therefore, residential land near the arena is not favored and the price is very low, but for As a Syrian, he had no choice.

When he got close to his home, he had to stop again and again to greet the neighbors who took the initiative to say hello to him. While passing through the alley, he heard several neighbors talking happily about "sending troops to Poland or Arabia", and he accelerated his pace home.

"You're back!" His wife came up to him and took Klescu's bag.

"Well, what do you have to eat today?"

The wife quickly asked the maid to bring out the meal. There was oatmeal, and cheese and roasted meats.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Klescu looked up at his wife and said solemnly: "Recently, the government has hired a group of judges to go north, and I am going to follow them!"

"North? Are we really going to fight Poland..." My wife also guessed. Recently, many people have said that they are going to fight Arabia or Poland, and it seems that it is now.

"You haven't even entered the company, will they let you go?!" The wife thought her husband wanted to join the battle. She was not panicked, but just a little confused.

"I am not going to fight against foreigners, but the government is calling on us idle public servants to voluntarily follow the army to the north to educate the local people. I decided to sign up."

"Go to Poland, Krakow or Warsaw?" She was stunned and felt a little flustered inexplicably: "Poland is so far away from us, and there is a war going on. It is too unsafe for you to go there! And...and the child is still so young. , I am taking care of myself at home again..."

"I know that if I go to Poland, it will be harder for you alone!" Pleka said solemnly: "But this time is a good opportunity for me. The promotion speed of Syrians is slow, and there are no rich people. I have no family to rely on and no high-status relatives to provide help. I can only do things that others are not willing to risk! Although it is dangerous to go to Poland, I may be directly responsible for the affairs of a town. If I perform well, I will even be promoted immediately, and maybe one day I can become a cabinet minister.”

The wife looked at each other blankly. She knew that her husband had been working very hard, but she never knew that her husband had such great ambitions...

In the mansion of the Mason family, Mason had just sent off the Chancellor of Constantinople when his butler entered the living room and saw Mason leaning on the wooden chair with deep thoughts. He didn't know what he was thinking and asked hurriedly: "Sir, The amount of supplies required for this attack on Poland is not small. Do you want to reveal some information to the merchants? "

Mason shook his head: "If His Majesty finds out about this, I'm afraid my head will be hanging on the city gate. And we don't need to reveal it, those businessmen have sharper noses than anyone else, so don't worry."

The housekeeper asked doubtfully: "If that's the case, then what are you worried about, sir?"

Mason sighed: "Your Majesty has decided to join forces with Brandenburg and Russia to attack Poland. This time, King Władysław can't escape. This time, the empire will send 100,000 troops, and the number of people transporting supplies and other items is also not small. I have heard from your majesty that a cannon will bring in a fortune, and now it seems to be true."

Mason has also worked hard in recent years. According to the situation, Romania has an annual income of 6.5 million lei. If there is no war, it can make a surplus of more than 500,000 gold coins, but a war with 100,000 soldiers will cost more than 2 million lei, and this is the cost of a war within half a year.

And if there is only one war, it would be fine, but after fighting Poland, we have to fight Arabia, which also requires money. The pressure on him as the Minister of Finance is really greater than a mountain.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Prince Theodore's birthday is coming soon. Is there any news from my father?"

"It is said that everything is ready, just waiting for the remittance from our bank."

In order to get a noble on the list, the family really put a lot of thought into it. Although they themselves are nobles, if they have a permanent position, then the wealth of their family will be guaranteed.
