The Eagle of Eastern Europe

Compared with his three brothers, Muhammad is calmer than them all. He knew that Ottoman needed time to recover now, and being a vassal was just a temporary measure.

Like his brother, he addressed Mircea as his father in his letters and wrote many flattering words to the Roman emperor. Finally, he proposed to offer Konya as a gift to the emperor, and he was willing to become a vassal.

"Ottoman, how powerful and arrogant they were a few decades ago, but now they have fallen to this."

Mircea lamented the decline of Osman and Muhammad's surrender. The world is changing so fast that he is already falling behind.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness has captured Croatia."

Mircea no longer had any doubts about her son, and he was naturally happy with the news. The conquest of Croatia and Bosnia made Rome's situation in Europe suddenly clear. No one would underestimate this country that had been reborn.

"Okay, okay, now we should focus on dealing with Venice."

"But Your Majesty, there have been some changes in Milan recently, which may cause some trouble for the empire."

Mircea really felt sorry for this in-laws. Although it was nothing in terms of the interests of the country and the family, it was better not to do this to a country that would hinder the empire's strategy. It was just pity for his little daughter.

"Don't worry about him. If he dares to come, he will be destroyed together."

Mircea approved the treaty with the Ottomans, which was formally signed in Constantinople. The treaty stipulates that Ottoman surrendered to Rome, with Konya as the boundary line and Trebizond as the buffer in the middle; he would pay a sum of gold coins to Rome every year and send troops to help Rome when necessary.

The signing of the treaty announced that Rome's return to Anatolia was a foregone conclusion, and also marked the end of the Turkic invasion of Anatolia in 320 years. Rome returned here and gradually assumed supreme power.

After the treaty was signed, the soldiers on the eastern front had not yet retreated, not only because they needed to build a stable defense line, but also to capture cities such as Konya. After all, Karaman, the owner of these cities, was in a hurry to resist the Ottoman attack.

Muhammad defeated the enemy twice in a row on the battlefield of Karaman. Karaman Bey even fought in person, but died on the battlefield in the third battle that mobilized the power of the country. Karaman was in chaos, and after the treaty was signed there was no need to exist.

The fighting in the east is basically over, but there may be problems in the south. Venice realized that it had to unite with all enemies of Rome to have a chance of success, so it found Mamluk and planned to let this boss go to show Rome's disgrace.

The Mamluk Army needs ship transportation, and it is very likely that the two countries will reach cooperation. Rome harassed the trade routes more intensely and began planning a landing on Crete.

On Rhodes Island, the Knights Hospitallers and the Knights Dragon were fighting back and forth. And because neither side could completely defeat the other, they fell into a protracted war. The Knights asked Peter for help, hoping to transport troops and artillery to help.

----Dividing line----

In Zaregb, due to Plankovic's example. Many small nobles pledged their allegiance to Peter. "Your Excellency, I am yours" was the sentence Peter heard the most.

Peter began to conduct a census and land survey of the land, and determined the basic taxation and military systems. Hungary's allies should not forget to give them gold coins as payment for their employment.

Peter once again expanded the army on the basis of the legion, selected from yeoman farmers and loyal small nobles, and gathered 6,000 people for training together with the Bosnian region. The confiscated land and property were distributed to soldiers, generals, churches, and surrendered nobles, and they themselves also took some as royal property.

In addition to Salegbu, Peter also plans to build a new city in Bosnia as the political center of the inland region, which is also to increase the control of the inland region. Others, such as language, currency, weights and measures, all became Roman standards, which can be described as an all-round suppression.

In terms of religion, this place was placed under the management of the Bukur Yesti Orthodox Church, the position of archbishop was established, and large-scale conversion activities were carried out. Catholicism was suppressed even more severely than Crescentism.

The Despot patrols this land every day and witnesses the changes in these places. As rulers changed, they would always remain under Roman rule.

Peter also allocated money from his own private treasury for military training and local governance. Conducted large-scale reconnaissance near the Austrian border, and invested in the expansion of arsenals and shipyards in Constantinople and Thessaloniki.

The outbreak of the war brought about the development of military industry, shipbuilding industry, mining industry and other industries. Weapons, textiles, food, and transportation all entered a stage of rapid development. The mining technology introduced from the German region can excavate deeper veins, increasing the output of coal and iron, and the industrial technology learned from Italy is revolutionizing all walks of life. The number of basic processed products imported from Italy has decreased, and trade has rapidly changed from inbound to outbound. And it opened up the eastern and northern trade routes, which also allowed Rome to withstand the blow of trade losses.

Mircea placed an order for 120 warships with the Constantinople Shipyard, which required the person in charge to recruit 1,000 people to ensure delivery on time. Others such as artillery, armor, and military uniforms were also handed over to other factories. This was only seen in the East. You would never dare to think about it in the West at this time.

While the Venetian Assembly can make resolutions on military expansion, the Genoese Assembly is constantly noisy. Their finances were insufficient for an expedition, but the eastern trading strongholds were reduced to a few islands and were in danger. At this point, Parliament made an unexpected decision and negotiated with France to sell Corsica to France in exchange for funds.

The Kingdom of Aragon was also considering whether to join the war. Venice came out to look for the Mamluks and also sought an alliance with Aragon, who was also Catholic. Aragon's navy was also helpful in consolidating Venice's precarious maritime trade, and Aragon had always wanted Naples to return to its rule. Venice could provide funds and mercenaries as long as they granted commercial privileges.

The Venetian Parliament asked the clerk to write the letter and send it to Palermo, but the clerk was suddenly called to do other things, and the letter fell on his desk and was delivered to Peter's hands by another person.

Petkov's methods were outstanding, and in just a few years, his intelligence network reached Venice and Austria. In this city where profit comes first, he uses gold coins to make many poor people and bureaucrats who are about to go bankrupt work for him. The information revealed ranges from Venice's financial revenue to the situation of the parliament, from the people's hearts and minds to the business situation. This is also where Rome was superior to Venice. Although Venice also had spies in Constantinople, with the wave of anti-Venetian Genoa, it expelled many spies and uprooted many strongholds. Therefore, intelligence work is naturally more than a little slower than Rome.
