Chapter 443： Explanation

When the Speaker of the Congress of Tagfaht waited for Congressman Lübeck to finish the internal meeting and came to Marin to ask him to send troops, Marin did not immediately agree.

why? Because this matter is too dangerous. Moreover, Marin felt that this should be the other party's strategy. So, he said to the Speaker of Tagfakht:

"Admiral Speaker, it is not that I refuse to send troops to rescue Hamburg. Instead, I suspect this is a trap!"

"Trap?" Big Speaker Tagfaht was puzzled. He was just a veteran politician, but he was not very proficient in military affairs, and he did not see the danger of this matter.

"Yes, trap! I suspect that this time the enemy's switch to Hamburg was not really intended to go, but that it was going to lead my 20,000 army out of the city to achieve the goal of a head-to-head decisive battle!" Marin said seriously. .

"how to say?"

"Admiral Speaker should know that Lübeck is surrounded by water and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although the other party has 50,000 main battle units and can face Lübeck City surrounded by water, it is somewhat impossible to start. Plus my 20,000 army is all The elite soldiers also have muskets that are very conducive to defending the city. It is almost impossible for the enemy to attack Lübeck ... "

The Speaker of Tagfaht nodded his head and agreed with Marin. The precipitousness of Lübeck city has always been the pride of the Lübeck people. Lübeck and Hamburg are both oil-rich super-commercial cities in the German region. The city is rich in wealth. If the city defenses were fragile, they would have been robbed by the jealous princes.

It is precisely because the two cities of Lübeck and Hamburg are built on the sandbank in the middle of the big river that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that these two wealthy cities have prospered for hundreds of years.

The general nobility, even with tens of thousands of troops, could not capture the city of Lübeck. After all, there are normally more than 3,000 defenders in the city. There are no 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it is difficult to capture Lübeck.

This time, there were too many coalition forces of the Bossa, with a total of 50,000 troops, and they were still elite soldiers, so that Lübeck could not withstand it. Without Marin's 20,000 elite, the Lübeck people would not be confident that they could resist the 50,000 elite of the Bossa Allied Forces.

Marin continued:

"Lübeck has my 20,000 elite, and more than 3,000 of his own, which is naturally solid. But Hamburg is different. Hamburg has only three or four thousand defenders. According to the reports of the men, those German mercenaries, It seemed that the Swiss were frightened and refused to accept the employment of Hamburg. So, even if Hamburg is not under siege, there are no new mercenaries willing to help Hamburg against the coalition forces. After all, in these decades, 50,000 elites have been dispatched. There are too few examples of soldiers. "

The Speaker of Tagfacht was silent. He also knew that if Hamburg could not recruit mercenaries to help, how could Lubeck find it? Except for the ally of Marin, it is impossible for others to fight against the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Bossa Allied Forces for Lübeck and Hamburg.

As for Sweden, which is also an ally? They have tens of thousands of troops. However, Sweden is not easy. Since they turned their backs on the Grand Duchy of Moscow last time, they needed to have thousands of soldiers stationed at the eastern border to guard against the attack of Mao Zedong's attack. After all, the Grand Duchy of Moscow is also a powerful country. It usually has 20,000 or 30,000 standing troops, and in wartime it can use 200,000 troops. Although most of them are peasants, but this situation can also scare people.

Therefore, Sweden simply cannot pull out enough troops to support Lübeck and Hamburg. Moreover, even if all the more than 10,000 people in Sweden came, it would not be possible to fight the 50,000 Bossa coalition ...

Therefore, Marin's 20,000 main forces are basically Lübeck's only hope. Although, the people of Lübeck also hope that they can devour the benefits of Hamburg. However, at this moment, if Hamburg is defeated by the BSA, the interests must belong to Brandenburg and Saxony, and it has nothing to do with Lübeck. Moreover, Lübeck will lack a strong aid in the future, even unable to suppress the resurrection of the Danish navy. Therefore, at this moment, the Bossa Allied Forces cannot break through Hamburg. Otherwise, the enemy will eat up the huge wealth of Hamburg, and its power will surge. With my elimination, Lübeck ’s prospects will be even worse.

After looking at the Speaker of the Thager Fakht under consideration, Marin continued to be huge:

"Moreover, I suspect that the enemy is not really going to attack Hamburg this time, but rather lured my 20,000 main force out of the city and then wiped out my 20,000 people outside the city. After all, my army hid In Lübeck, they could n’t help. However, if my army left the city to support Hamburg, it would be equivalent to losing the support of the city wall. In the face of 50,000 enemy troops, the odds are not high ... "

The Speaker of Tagfaht was taken aback, and at this time, he also reacted. If Marin ’s 20,000 troops were really surrounded by 50,000 Bossa coalition forces outside the city, there were indeed many evils. And if the 20,000 people in Marin are gone, Lübeck will lose the greatest rely on force, sooner or later ...

After thinking over and over again, the Speaker of the Congress of Tagfacht cautiously asked:

"Master Marin, how did you determine that the enemy was pretending to besiege Hamburg?"

"Come with me, Lord Speaker!" After that, Marin took the Speaker of Tagfakht to the south wall.

Marin pointed to the Bossa Allied Forces crossing the Travo River south of the city and said:

"Lord Speaker, you see, the enemy is clearly crossing the river to the southeast. On the surface, it is indeed to attack Hamburg. After all, the other party declared war on our four-party alliance."

The Speaker of Tagfaht nodded and agreed with Marin's judgment.

"However, if you look closely, you will understand what is wrong ..." Marin continued.

"What's wrong?" Grand Speaker Tagfaht took a closer look and saw nothing unusual.

Seeing that the Speaker of Tagfaht did not seem so smart, Marin had to remind:

"Are the actions of the Bossa Allied Forces a little bit?"

"Wheel?" The big speaker Tagfaht stared puzzledly for a while before discovering the problem. Then, nodded:

"Well, it's a bit slow. But what does that mean?" Obviously, the military literacy of the Speaker of Tagfakht is not very high.

"This shows that the enemy doesn't really want to go! If you really want to attack Hamburg, you should move your troops briskly, and then head southeast to quickly surround and attack Hamburg City! Instead of grinding like this Rubbing, as if not going to walk. Obviously, they are waiting for my army to leave the city and fight against them! "

The Speaker of Tagfaht thought for a while, then suddenly realized:

"It turns out that it's like this, or Master Marin. You're smarter, and you can see the enemy's intentions from the details!" Exclaimed Tag Speaker. He is not unwise, but his talents are all politically and militaryly not very familiar. However, after Marin's explanation, he soon understood.

"I have won the prize, Lord Speaker. After all, I was developed by fighting. The war is the capital from which I started. Naturally, I am more proficient. And you are a political strongman, and led Lübeck to glory. "Marin also politely touted each other."

"Then ... then let's not go to rescue Hamburg? Anyway, the other party just wants to lure you into sending troops." After listening to Marin's explanation, the Speaker of Tagfaht turned against Marin sending troops. After all, Marin's army, but Lübeck finally counted on it.

"No, we still have to send troops. If I don't move, they will really attack Hamburg!" Marin shook his head firmly and said firmly.

"Why?" The Speaker of Tagfacht was a little puzzled ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This is the other party's conspiracy, so I have no choice. If I dare to send troops, I will be wiped out of the city. If you do n’t send troops, you really go to siege Hamburg. Anyway, after the burger was over, Brandenburg and Saxony would be full and even eaten. Not only can the Swiss mercenary's commission be settled smoothly, but also a lot of money can be made. After all, Hamburg is the second largest Hanse commercial city after Lübeck! "

After thinking for a moment, the Speaker of the Congress of Tagfaht nodded and exclaimed:

"Yangmou? The word is really well used. Indeed, we know each other's plans, but we are a little bit at a loss. It's embarrassing to have a good life ... then ... what should we do? Just look at the burger?

"No, it's not impossible, I still have a back hand, maybe I can beat my opponent smoothly!" Marin smiled mysteriously. However, he also did not tell the Speaker of the Congress of Tagfacht with all the cards in case the Lübeck parliament had spies from Saxony and Brandenburg. After all, under the circumstance where there is no hope, these businessmen-born lawmakers may not bet on both sides at the same time. If someone reveals his hole card to the Bossa Allied Forces, his 18,000 Allied Forces may be ordered to be intercepted and surrounded by Frederick III. Therefore, I still have 18,000 powerful reinforcements. The fewer people I know, the better ...
