The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 645

"Master Yi Shoushi, I'm afraid it won't work, the enemy army is really too big"

Another veteran said that he was proficient in Lanxue and knew that the twenty cannons made in Edo had been cast for at least a hundred years, and it was a question of whether they could be fired now, let alone shoot at the fleet of the Austrian Empire.

"Then we can let them go to Nagasaki to stay for a while, so that we can borrow artillery from various feudal clans in three months, and gather all the power of Japan to defend Edo so that the Austrians will retreat."

Masahiro Abe's method is reasonable, well-founded, and disciplined. It can not only resolve the crisis, but also unite the various feudal clans.

It's just that the situation at this time is more difficult than he imagined.
"Master Ishoushi, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The Austrian fleet has ten large ships and hundreds of cannons each. It may not be able to compete with the strength of all Japan."

"Is this true? The Netherlands and Austria are just small countries in the West, and it seems that the whole country is going to fight. Then can we summon brave men who dare to fight and die to assassinate the enemy chieftain?"

After Masahiro Abe learned that he was invincible, he immediately changed his thinking and prepared to come to Tianzhu, maybe he could recover these barbarians, and then "use barbarians to control barbarians".
But soon his hopes were dashed again, another senior Nakazawa Masashisai said.

"Master Yishoushi, according to the Dutch, the Austrian Kingdom has lasted for more than 600 years, and it is not a small country. This time the team leader is a collateral member of its royal family.

Based on this calculation, this fleet may not only not be the full strength of the Austrian army, it may not even be the main force. "

This time Masahiro Abe was completely paralyzed. He has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he has learned about the past and the present, but none of the books can teach him to face today's situation.

Masahiro Abe was able to perfectly solve the incidents of the Tokugawa Iezari era and the monk cholera Ooku, without embarrassing the shogun's family or losing his life.

The former Piao Tan catfish is really helpless at this time.

In the end, it was the boss of the Pingding Office who said some nonsense to avoid the embarrassment of Masahiro Abe.

Pingdingsuo, the highest judicial organ of the shogunate.

"The most urgent task is to stabilize the coastal defense of Edo first, and then order the mobilization of samurai in the city for reinforcements. In addition, it is also necessary to send people to the local daimyo for help."

On the surface of Edo Bay, Friedrich put down his binoculars.

"Why did the Japanese transport so many big clocks to the shore? Are they planning to use Flying Thunder?"

Friedrich looked very puzzled, because he felt that such a thing as the Flying Thunder God should only be conceived by a freak like Franz, so he couldn't help turning his eyes to Kagura in a priestess costume.

The latter naturally understood the meaning of the former, and she had indeed listened to Franz's explanation, but she had no doubts about her personal loyalty to Franz, and she hadn't had any contact with the Japanese for so many years.

"Witches are my profession, but I don't know witchcraft. Please rest assured. I have not revealed the secret of the Flying Thunder God to anyone, and the Flying Thunder God is nothing terrible for your fleet."

Princess Sneka didn't know what the two meant, let alone what the so-called Flying Thunder God was, but she was not stupid.

"Stop arguing, and look! They are turning the mouth of the bell on us, like the mouth of a cannon!"

At this time, Friedrich and Kagura looked at the big clocks on the shore, which seemed to be placed upside down on the fort, and looked like large-caliber artillery from a distance.

This made Friedrich heave a sigh of relief. Although, as Kagura said, flying Thor is not a big threat to the Austrian naval fleet, it will bring a lot of trouble to the formulation of tactics.

At this time, seeing the other party's demeanor, one can understand that the Japanese don't know what Fei Leishen is, and what they are doing is nothing more than a bluff. According to Franz, this means that the other party is at the end of its rope and can implement the next plan.

I have to say that the Japanese at this time were quite upright. After asking the Austrian fleet to go to Nagasaki to wait for the news to be received, several shogunate bureaucrats actually pulled out their threats and committed suicide on the spot.

It's just that Friedrich couldn't feel the other party's determination at all. Instead, he felt that the Japanese were disgusting him. After all, blood and grease were difficult to clean up.

So he issued an ultimatum to the remaining Japanese officials:

"If you can't get a satisfactory answer within three days, Edo Castle will usher in its end."

Including Abe Masahiro, several bigwigs at the front-screen meeting unanimously agreed to agree to peace talks with the Austrian Empire.

Masahiro Abe, the chief veteran, was naturally pushed to the forefront. Some people said that he feared the enemy and fought timidly.

But in any case Masahiro Abe led five hundred armored warriors to the seaside to negotiate with the Austrian envoys.

Masahiro Abe was sitting among the layers of curtains, and the warriors behind him were all carefully selected warriors. Everyone was dressed in bright armor, holding a long knife in their hands, full of murderous aura.

In fact, only the first row wore iron armor, and the samurai in the back used bamboo armor and leather armor to bluff.

This is something that can’t be helped. After all, at this time the shogunate is in decline and the military equipment is slack, and even the samurai can’t afford it, let alone armor?

There are three rows of guards holding iron cannons standing on the periphery, and in front of them there are ashigaru in simple armor and wearing array hats, and the flags behind them are fluttering with the sea wind, which is quite imposing.

(The so-called iron guns are arquebus guns, which were basically eliminated in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe.)
Soon two warships of the Austrian Imperial Navy docked on the shore. The towering city of black iron and the sharp sound of sirens shook the warriors who saw them.

Then the Austrian naval honor guard began to land. These people were carefully selected from the troops in various regions. Their height, clothing and weapons all had uniform requirements:
The white clothes, black trousers, and the exquisite carvings on the semicircular logo on the helmet, as well as the black and gold feathers are very imposing, and the heavy leather boots fall to the ground with a heavy sound.

Especially after these people had undergone Franz's military training, their uniform steps made the earth tremble, and the bright bayonets and exquisite rifles in their hands made people even more frightened.

Accompanied by the melodious "March of the Double-Headed Eagle", the naval honor guard of the Austrian Empire finally came in front of Masahiro Abe.

At this time, Masahiro Abe felt the despair of Ryuta Atobe and Chubei Lin Qi, with bright armor and swords and guns?These words are not enough to describe the shock in front of me.

Every soldier in the honor guard of the Austrian Imperial Navy has a height of more than 185cm, and the uniform voice makes people feel frightened. Even when the guard of honor completed the action of putting the gun on the shoulder, many soldiers subconsciously took two steps back .

At this time, the faces of those warriors under their visors were covered with beads of sweat. Let alone the number of "iron cannons" on the other side, even in hand-to-hand combat, they didn't have much chance of winning against so many strong men.

But the thing that shocked them had just begun. A maiden in a white robe and a scarlet hakama stepped out of the imposing Austrian army.

"Hello, Masahiro Abe. I wish our negotiations can go smoothly."
