The Eagle of Eastern Europe

The noble's vowing tone made Laszlo furious. To put it simply, when the enemy comes, you will be the first to run away.

This was what the attendant said in Laszlo's ear. He hurriedly announced the adjournment of the meeting and walked out.

By this time Peter had arrived at the Royal Palace of Naples to meet his sister Mary, whom he had not seen for several years.

"How are you in Naples?"

"Thanks to God, everything is fine. Mother must have received the letter too."

Mary told her brother a lot about Naples. The scenery and life here were very good, but the aristocracy and Catholicism were very unfriendly to her. This resulted in her having few friends here and could only chat with the maid.

Peter had a general understanding of the situation in Naples, and the power struggle between the king and the nobles should enter a fever pitch. Since his brother-in-law is a tough one, the nobles can only pick on the soft persimmons, so the Queen of Naples, who is married far away, is their target.

"Don't worry, you will have friends soon." Peter comforted, and then Sophia and Mary chatted while Peter waited for the arrival of the king.

Laszlo also had a strong desire to see Peter, and he walked so fast that the guards around him couldn't keep up. But when he was about to see Peter, he started walking slowly again, maintaining the courtesy of a king.

Peter also saw Laszlo coming and thought he must have something to ask him. Although he looked formal when walking, he was still a little flustered. It seemed that the power of the local nobles was still very strong.

"Ah, my dear family, long time no see."

They were very friendly but only exchanged greetings when they met, and the same was true for Laszlo. He couldn't panic. Even if it was Caesar across from him, it didn't matter. He was still his relative, so just carry on as usual.

"The scenery in Naples is not bad, isn't it?"

"Well, it has a different beauty than Constantinople."

Peter was then invited to the library by Laszlo, where there was a huge map of the Italian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula, on which the two rulers depicted the future of the two countries.

"Naples needs more troops to protect its security, but those short-sighted nobles do not agree to provide funds and soldiers. This is the biggest difficulty for Naples."

Laszlo told him about his difficulties. Peter would have believed him if he hadn't known about his brother-in-law's ruthless work in history. It seems he needs more help.

"Currently, Naples and Romania need to further deepen their relations... Of course, the nobles in Naples are an obstacle to the friendly relations between the two countries."

What Peter said was also a signal to Laszlo. Since it was an obstacle, he would do it.

"Yes, the relationship between the two countries could have gone further, but it was blocked by some short-sighted people."

With Peter's support, Laszlo can take action against those nobles. After all, they are supported by various countries. Close to Sicily is Aragon, and in the north are mainly the Papal States and Venice. Those who support him are mainly Angevin forces and close local factions. If they want to centralize power, these must be The factions are in control.

The economic and trade ties between Naples and Romania are also becoming increasingly close. The merchants and citizens who trade with Rome are also supporters of Laszlo. They support the royal power in order to obtain a better business environment and more markets, so they will have a strong influence on Lazro. Slow's army footed the bill.

After discussing the country, they began to discuss the division of Italian regions. According to past agreements, once there was a war between Romania and Venice, Naples would join and in return he would be entitled to a share of the spoils.

Now, they decided to expand the area. Anyway, there are so many countries, so it doesn’t hurt to have more points.

"In my opinion, Croatia and Bosnia are the closest to Rome and should be included in Rome. And Venice."

Laszlo was a little unhappy when he heard that Peter had directly removed the three countries. What did Naples want?

"Of course, I also know that Naples will also contribute a lot, so these places belong to you."

As he spoke, Peter pointed to the areas of Rome and the Papal States on the map.

When Laszlo saw this area, he had a very great goal in mind. He wanted to establish a Holy See under his control like France, and then ordered the Holy Roman Empire and other countries to obey Naples, and then obtained the support of the Holy Roman elector. Become the Emperor of the Shinra and become the premier overlord of Europe.

As long as he admits that Croatia, Bosnia and Venice belong to Rome, he can get a better return than land, and this transaction is not a loss.

Peter is not a good person. After the Avignon incident, other countries will not let any one force control Rome. Even if they have control, they will form an alliance and force the other party to spit it out. Especially the countries in the Holy Roman Empire and the northern part of the Italian Peninsula, that's why Peter was so willing to give to the Papal State of Laszlo.

Besides here, the Duchy of Urbino and some areas in the north were also promised to Naples. It just depends on whether Laszlo has the ability.

Laszlo and Peter signed a formal treaty at the Royal Palace of Naples to prevent both sides from turning against each other. At the same time, Peter will also provide his brother-in-law with 30,000 ducats, 10 cannons and some weapons and armor.

In addition, the two parties also signed an agreement that if Laszlo had no heirs, his wife Marie would inherit the throne instead of his sister Jeanne. Laszlo looked a little unhappy when he heard this agreement, which meant that the Kingdom of Naples was at risk of being transferred from the Anjou family to the Bartland family. But Peter told him that if he signed, he would be able to provide 160,000 gold coins in the future. As soon as I heard it, I signed it immediately.

Sure enough, there is nothing in the world that money cannot solve. Even if it is to stabilize him, Peter is not worried. How about a bottle of Cantrera?

In the past few days, Peter had taken Sophia to travel around, causing the nobles who secretly monitored them to have the illusion that she was a relative, and did not reach any cooperation with the king. But who knows that they have reached a better agreement, and the first target is them nobles.

The Orthodox Church also grew with tacit approval. Although he still needed the name of Catholicism and the prestige of the Roman Pope, this did not prevent him from hating the Catholic Church. Some of the most fertile lands were occupied by the church, as well as countless gold, silver, and livestock. , books and jewelry, all of which are converted into gold coins, and they must also contribute to Laszlo's funds.

The Bishop of Naples and the churchmen sent letters to Rome every day, keeping a close eye on Peter's itinerary. Some radical people even wanted to assassinate Peter. Fortunately, the bishop stopped him. Otherwise, if Rome had turned around, he might have died. Know. This matter needs to be considered in the long term.
