Chapter 827 Munich Conference

Bavaria.

Munich Palace.

In front of the spacious and elegantly decorated hall, Austrian Minister of State Baron Tugut raised his arms and whispered passionately:

“This is a war that determines the future of the great Holy Roman Empire, and we can only accept one result, which is to completely defeat the barbaric French.

"It won't take long for the empire to surround Paris, and we will accept the surrender of the King of Dharma in Versailles!

"The empire's 100,000 troops are advancing smoothly in Luxembourg..."

Prince Heinrich, who was sitting in the front row, immediately nodded and echoed: "The Duke of Brunswick will occupy Luxembourg City within a week."

He seemed to support Tugut, but in fact he emphasized that "the main force in fighting in Luxembourg is us Prussians, not the 'imperial army' you call it."

"The Duke of Brunswick is indeed the best commander in Europe." Tugut had to take the opportunity and pointed southward, "In Freiburg, the army of Count Latour has also completed the assembly, and soon Will attack Alsace.

"Victory will surely belong to the Holy Roman Empire!"

The delegates of the states in the hall made a listless cheer, which made the British representative Lord Glenville the loudest.

Baron Tugut saw that the atmosphere was almost done and quickly got to the point:

"At this most critical moment of war, all German states have an obligation to do their part to the empire!"

He gestured to the west side of the hall and bowed slightly: "The 7,000 troops sent by Count August have arrived in Gelden last week. Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor."

Count Auguste was King Thuringia and had always fully supported Emperor Shenluo in military affairs.

"Hanova and Mainz will also send troops to the west bank of Rhine." Tugut said as he looked around the representatives of the states in the hall, "His Majesty the Emperor is looking forward to everyone's army."

Representatives of Württemberg, Trier and other countries were exchanging glances with each other, but they heard Baron Valdeck, assistant to the Foreign Minister of Baden, a little harsh voice: "Dear Baron Tugut, you know, this war is for us It's too scary for a small country. At the same time, the outcome of the war has nothing to do with us."

As a senior "savvy" small country, Baden has no foreign ministers, let alone a member of the royal family. He only let him, the second-person in the diplomatic system, deal with the meeting convened by Emperor Shenluo.

Tugut immediately said righteously: "No, of course it does matter! If we cannot defeat the French on the battlefield, the first ones they invaded are you Rhineland countries."

Baron Valdeck lowered his head, as if he was talking to himself, but his voice was enough for representatives of all countries to hear: "The French government has promised many times that they will never invade the German states that did not participate in the war..."

"Lie! That's all the lies of the French!" Baron Tugut was a little angry, but soon calmed down and continued, "His Majesty the Emperor has decided to re-sign the South German trade agreement after the war. The contributions of countries in this war are to adjust trade subsidies and tariff coefficients. At the same time, the UK will also open some markets to state parties."

He glanced at Valdek: "And those countries that do not fulfill their imperial obligations will be excluded from the agreement."

Valdek grinned indifferently and looked elsewhere. Baden has now settled on the French economic system. With his size, he can eat enough by just taking advantage of France and does not care about the threat from Austria at all.

But representatives from Mainz, Württemberg and other countries showed nervousness.

In the past two years, they have become accustomed to the Senna-Rhine trade system and are suddenly kicked out, and there will definitely be a big chaos in the domestic economy. At the same time, they are also an irresistible temptation for them to enter the British market.

Minister Trier stood up first and said with a look of embarrassment: "Baron Tugut, our national strength is weak and we cannot afford the losses caused by the war."

Bavarian Minister of State Pomental immediately nodded: "That's true. If the French invades our country, it will cause great damage..."

Tugut was so angry that he said, "You are always thinking of Bavaria to reappear the glory of the Burgundian Dynasty. Now if you send troops, you will become a small country?"

Fortunately, Vienna had expected a similar situation to be expected. He immediately took a deep breath, took out the edict of Franz II, and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor solemnly promises everyone that all countries in this war against France The losses will be compensated by Austria after the war."

He looked at Pomental: "So, what about Bavaria's reply?"

The latter was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Austria had to bite the bullet and said, "We will send 13,000 soldiers."

Seeing Tugut still looking at him, he gritted his teeth and continued:

"And provide logistics supplies for 50,000 troops."

"Very good." Tugut looked at representative Trier again.

The latter stumbled: "My country can send 4,000 troops."

Tugu features head, turning to Mainz representative.

In this way, under his gaze, in addition to Baden, almost all the countries in South Germany sent troops, and even small countries like Rottenberg also took out a transport convoy to ensure logistics.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

At noon, the grand joint German state meeting came to an end. More than a dozen representatives from various countries walked towards the banquet hall under the guidance of Bavarian court officials.

Tugut, Prince Heinrich, and Lord Grenville, etc. fell behind everyone, whispering something.

"The countries have sent a total of 40,000 troops, which is better than I thought." Prince Heinrich said so, but his brows were always frowning. "This time we must win a big victory in Luxembourg."

Tugu's head: "His Majesty the Emperor is already considering temporarily abandoning the South Netherlands. Let the Duke of York transfer the army to the Rhineland region to fight."

Grenville smiled: "Your Majesty made a rare right decision! In this way, we will have more than 150,000 troops on the front line of Luxembourg. And there are only 65,000 French troops there."

Heinrich's expression finally relaxed a little: "As long as you can defeat Verdun and arrive in Paris within two months, all other losses can be made up."

He looked at Tugut again: "What worries me the most is the situation in Northern Italy. You have lost several times there. If Mantua..."

Tugut immediately said confidently: "General Wilmze will arrive in Mantua at the end of the month. It is an extremely strong fortress and there will be no accidents."

Lord Glenville continued: "The direction of Northern Italy only needs to be held on for two months. In two months, the 30,000 new troops trained by Marquis Wellesley will be put into the battlefield."
