Chapter 91 Soldiers

"Who is the prince of the Holy Roman Empire? I'll give something? I need something to go by Weifu himself." Bai Zhou looked at Mengge's careful appearance and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

After all, except for the children of Western Qin, the rest of the nearby areas are Burgundy prisoners. At least these prisoners will definitely not let them go before the end of this war, so there is no need to worry about them revealing any secrets. Similarly, even if Joan of Arc and Menggo do not know who she is now, her current identity is not only her friend and an ally of Western Qin, but Menggo will not be unclear about this.

Therefore, it doesn't matter how loud Mengge said it, let alone a very "righteous" reason: except for them, no one can understand the Western Qin language... It seems that this was completely done by Mengge, or that the matter was indeed confidential, so confidential that even ordinary Western Qin people had no right to know it.

"It's Wolfgang, you have seen it, young master." Menggo continued to answer in a low voice.

It was him? Bai Zhou recalled the experience of meeting Wolfgang several times, and it was not a pleasure. This guy who revealed a kind of arrogant from his heart seemed to be incompatible with Bai Zhou, and the possibility of becoming friends between them was really lower.

This time he personally led his troops to Switzerland. If Barbarossa's instructions were instructed, then Bai Zhou would not believe it anyway. After all, if Barbarossa really supported the Western Qin's battle with full support, then he would not only give him a little material when giving Western Qin's logistical help.

Moreover, Bai Zhou also saw from Barbarossa that the reason why he only reinforced the Western Qin was not stingy, but it was far from enough to support a war between the dukes because he wanted to prepare for the war with all his might and went south to seize the rich Lombardy Peninsula.

Under this premise, Barbarossa will not send a prince to lead troops to help him.

Moreover, even if Bai Zhou made a mistake in his analysis, Barbarossa really intends to help Western Qin. Logically speaking, the one who led the troops this time should be Miller, the great prince of the Holy Roman Empire. After all, Miller, as the first heir, Barbarossa should also understand that he should make friends with several real powerful nobles in advance, so that the royal power can be successfully transitioned after a hundred years.

Thinking of this, the reason and purpose of Wolfgang coming this time is a bit intriguing. Bai Zhou remembers that when he talked to Wolfgang in the end, he revealed that he had 5,000 private soldiers, and he seemed to be very interested in the fight between the Western Qin and the Burgundians.

Could it be that he was acting privately this time and did not receive Barbarossa's instructions, and even Barbarossa didn't know about this at all?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhou asked Mengge and said, "How many soldiers did Wolfgang bring this time?"

"Five thousand people, Mr. Wei said, are all elites with strict discipline and strong bodies." Mengge told Bai Zhou the news he got from Weifu's letter.

"How did this prince say what he is going to do?" Bai Zhou continued to ask.

"It is said that the king of the Holy Roman Empire wanted to help us resist Burgundy, so he sent him to help. But because they had an agreement with the Burgundians before, I hope we will not announce his identity this time," said Mongo.

"So will he participate in the battle as a mercenary this time, or join our battle at a very low cost." Bai Zhou began to understand Wolfgang's plan a little.

I hope he doesn't tell that his identity is true, but he certainly is not a concern for the Burgundians. As for Barbarossa's orders, it must be just Wolfgang's remarks, because he didn't want Barbarossa to know. In other words, this time he came to participate in the battle as a private person, and this "private" identity must also be eliminated as the cloak of his third prince of the Holy Roman Empire.

"Yes." Mongo's answer would obviously be yes.

Although Bai Zhou now understands Wolfgang's plan to intervene in a relatively low-key way of war between the Western Qin and the Burgundians, why is all this? Bai Zhou has some headaches for this problem.

Wolfgang is not Bai Zhou's friend. Strictly speaking, there is no friendship between the two. Bai Zhou even took away a possible wife and said that there is a grudge between them.

Of course, Bai Zhou was not worried that Wolfgang was pretending to help the Western Qin people and was preparing to turn against each other on the battlefield. After all, let’s not talk about the consequences of doing so. Barbarossa was furious. Although he was not optimistic about the Western Qin people, the best result for him and the Holy Roman Empire was to lose both sides, rather than a completely overwhelming victory on one side. It was his noble identity as a king prince. If such a thing that obviously violated the morality of a knight would be done, he would probably not have established himself on the Europa Continent in the future.

There is enough room for morality, although illusory and easy to be erased by the Tieze of the success and defeat, it cannot be denied that in the medieval Europa, before he truly unified the whole of Europe, anyone had to worry about this code of conduct. What's more, in the conversation between Bai Zhou and Wolfgang, he informed Bai Zhou in advance of the number of soldiers who might have sent from Burgundy and some other important information. Obviously, he was not so desperate to hate and hostility towards Western Qin.

In this way, Bai Zhou still owed Wolfgang a favor. After all, if it weren't for him, even if Bai Zhou knew the number of troops the Burgundians might send, it would have to be delayed at least ten days. During that period, in negotiations with the Swiss Germans, Bai Zhou would not be so confident and at ease.

Then why did Wolfgang send troops?

Bai Zhou's first reaction was whether this guy was interested in seizing the supreme royal power of the Holy Roman Empire, so he needed to win over and make friends with every ally who might help him crown the throne in the future. After all, Miller, the first heir, has a neutral and peaceful personality. Although he may not have poor abilities, such a person will definitely not be recognized by some guys who believe in the supremacy of force, and Wolfgang obviously would not look down on his brother very much.

But the problem is that Wolfgang "cutely" helps Xi Qin this time. Even if he hides his identity, he can only hide it for a while. With Barbarossa's ability, he will know it sooner or later. Even if Wolfgang himself has a low sense of political taste, he should not naively think that he can hide it for how long.

If he did this, if he was to make the future throne, it would only make Barbarossa, especially Miller, more wary of him and even dislike him. The final result would be that the gain would be more than worth the loss. Because, neither the military strength nor the political influence of the West Qin is now high enough to offset the "bad influence". In other words, the strength of the West Qin is currently not worthy of Wolfgang's dependence.

So, why did Wolfgang come this time?

Bai Zhou decided to meet Wolfgang first before he could know what the third prince had made. Nowadays, fantasy has no practical significance. Moreover, no matter what his plan is, bringing five thousand soldiers to help Western Qin will have a very important effect on the current battle. Xi Qin must also record this friendship.

Repaying gratitude and revenge with vengeance is also a code of conduct in Western Qin.
