General Ike seemed to have expected Charles VI to ask, but he said without hesitation: "The reason why the coalition forces of both sides dragged on the attack is probably because of the heavy rain, which is not conducive to their attack. However, the heavy rain will always stop, so we must plan early."

Speaking of this, General Ike paused, as if he was a little difficult to speak. Charles VI saw his concerns and waved his hand to comfort him, "If you have any words, just say it directly. We are now discussing countermeasures, and any plan can be proposed."

Hearing Charles VI's words, General Ike nodded and continued, "Okay, Your Majesty. In fact, I think our best countermeasure now is to give up Vienna and break through with the remaining troops. As long as you can send you out, even if our war will be won in the final victory, and you..."

"Don't say it anymore." Before General Ike finished speaking, Charles VI stood up with a cold face and stopped him: "What do you mean is to let me be a deserter?"

Charles VI asked in a cold voice as he stared at General Ike's eyes.

General Ike did not look afraid, looked at Charles VI without avoiding or dodging, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you have a noble status. As long as you are still here, the Habsburg dynasty will not fall, and the Holy Roman Empire will not waver, you..."

"Shut up!" This time, Charles VI directly stopped General Ike's words. Obviously he was really angry. Then he waved his hand and said to everyone in the hall: "Except General Ike and Duke Ji'an, everyone else retreated!"

The ministers present did not dare to disobey Charles VI's orders, so they retreated one after another. After a moment, only Duke Ji'an and General Ike were left in the empty hall.

This scene obviously meant that Charles VI wanted to say some crucial words, so General Ike and Duke of Gian calmed down and waited quietly, wanting to hear what Charles VI was going to say.

"You all sit down too. If you next, just sit down and listen, don't spread it."

At this time, Charles VI's face no longer had anger, only a faint feeling of regret, and an indescribable ease.

The Duke of Ji'an has been sitting in his seat all the time. General Ike looked at the Duke of Ji'an when he heard this. The old duke smiled and nodded at him. General Ike sat in his seat.

Charles VI stomped between the two and asked slowly, "You know, why do you have to pretend to be crazy for more than ten years if I don't do it if I don't do it?"

Hearing this, Duke Gian didn't make any noise, General Ike opened his mouth wide in surprise. He was not very clear about Charles VI's pretending to be crazy. He always thought that Charles VI had just woken up.

The Duke of Gian had thought about the question raised by Charles VI before, and at this moment he spoke directly: "You are here to let the two families of Vettena and Hohenzollern take the initiative to reveal their strength."

"Yes." Charles VI smiled and nodded, but shook his finger and continued, "But you only know one, but you don't know the other."

"Vetina and Hohenzollern are one of the largest families in the Holy Roman Empire. Even if I do, a family like this, cannot have much impact on them. Many times they even ignore my orders directly."

"They are too powerful, so strong that as long as they don't make any big mistakes, they can maintain their position in the empire forever. Even if I have the strength to defeat the two families, I cannot take the initiative to attack them. Otherwise, it will inevitably cause a strong rebound among the nobles in the country."

As he said that, Charles VI sighed. Although he was the emperor, he was subject to great restrictions on many things.

"So if you want to deal with the two big families, you have to let them attack me first. Only after they reveal their own strength can I justify the most severe blow to them and greatly deprive them of their existing power!"

When he said this, Charles VI had a sharp look and his hands tightly clenched, showing his heroic nature.

The Duke of Ji'an nodded and said in accordance with Charles VI's words: "Yes, show the enemy as weak, lure them to take the initiative, and then take advantage of the situation to fight back. This is why you pretend to be crazy. However, now your goal has been achieved. When the reinforcements arrive, the two families are about to be destroyed. Why don't you leave Vienna?"

At this time, Charles VI shook his head and said, "Oh, I am not unable to leave Vienna, I am just unable to take the initiative to join the reinforcements sent by other nobles..."

As soon as this sentence came out, the Duke of Ji'an's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes flashed one after another, and he showed a look of shock. However, it only lasted for a short time. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he already understood the meaning.

Because General Ike was not at this level, it was difficult to understand the truth. He just looked at Duke of Ji'an and Charles VI with confusion.

"So that's how it is." Seeing that General Ike didn't understand, the Duke of Gian said with an explanation: "You are worried that you have just defeated one Vetina and one Hohenzollern, and helped up another new Vetina and one Hohenzollern..."

"Yes..." Charles VI sighed and continued, "None of these guys is a good deal, Gian, you say, if I went to Vettelsbach like a betrayal dog, what would that old guy Lorraine do to me?"

"He...hehe." Duke Ji'an stroked his beard and said with a disdainful smile in his eyes: "Didn't that old guy always think about your daughter? If you find him, you'll probably have an extra son-in-law soon."

"You're right. The Duke of Lorraine is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. He will definitely take advantage of it. Sometimes, warm and soft poison is far more terrifying than a sharp knife."

Charles VI's tone was also disdainful, and then he frowned and continued, "There are also the Welf family, Duke Rudolph is a good man, but what I don't worry about is the Queen of England behind him. Although he is a woman, his scheming method is quite tough. She has no movement now, but she may not be sure of when she will be moved by the gem on my crown."

"So, no matter what, I can't hand over my crown to her."

Charles VI said all the situation he was in. After hearing these words, General Ike realized how complicated the situation was.

This kind of invisible struggle is often far more tragic than the struggle on the battlefield, and the consequences are also doubled.
