Together with the previous bombing of the mountainous area, as well as the subsequent night pursuits and early morning air strikes, the coalition forces destroyed more than 800 tanks and more than 2,000 armored vehicles and trucks throughout the Nuremberg Battle.

The Ming army suffered nearly a thousand casualties. The Japanese army did not participate in on-site defense, and its loss of troops was lower than that of the Ming army for the first time. The number of Kimchi troops was as high as 3,000, including those who escaped and were killed by the supervising team, and most of the others were injured.

Three hundred and eighty-eight tanks of the coalition forces were destroyed, most of which belonged to the Kimchi troops.

"Credit", the losses of other technical weapons are too numerous to mention. Fortunately, most of the combat aircraft have already transferred to the scene in advance, otherwise the Kimchi Army's

The "credit" was even greater... In the air battle the next morning, the Ming Air Force shot down nearly a thousand enemy planes and lost 245 of its own fighters. The battle loss ratio was close to four to one. It was considered a decent victory.

After this battle, the Holy Roman Empire also officially lost the ability to fight in large groups. After receiving the news of the defeat of Marshal Fritz's Second Army, the Electorate of Württemberg openly announced its separation from the Holy Roman Empire on June 11.

In this way, they wanted to obtain a relatively favorable surrender condition, because everyone in the electorate knew that there was no future for them following the Leopold family.

This time God will no longer bless the Holy Roman Empire. This empire will be destroyed by the Ming Empire. However, Württemberg still has a way out.

As long as he is not sent to mine, everything is easy to talk about, even if he contributes 100,000 young women, it is not out of the question.

Anyway, many young men and women in the territory were sacrificed to the empire, and unmarried young women must eventually find a destination.

Judging from William III's approach, perhaps women in this country can receive as good treatment as Dutch women.

"Have you thought about surrender until now? Or conditional surrender? Daydreaming!" Emperor Haojing received Zhang Huangyan's report, and of course he would not agree to the other party's request.

If the Electorate of Württemberg presented the fully-staffed Second Army as a certificate of surrender, perhaps he could still reluctantly agree.

He had caused so much damage to himself before, but now he saw that the building was about to collapse and tried to change the courtyard. That would definitely not work.

There are only people left in your poor place. If you don't pay, wouldn't you have to pay people? As for sacrificing 100,000 young women... isn't this just a sign of being respectful and kind to oneself on the surface, but in reality, intermarriage takes advantage of the Ming Empire?

Even if you don't surrender, I can let my subordinates beat you until all the women in your place are pregnant!

The conditions for the surrender of the Electorate of Württemberg were that they would not pay compensation, remain as a whole after the war, and their nobility status would remain unchanged.

The nobles and Pingmin stayed where they were, and could pay taxes to the Ming Empire according to regulations. While disarming, they also offered 100,000 young women.

In Zhu Cixiang's view, you are not surrendering, you are changing your master and continuing to be your uncle in the same place!

Did I provide money, food, and troops to let you continue to be the uncle? Why do you think of good things so much?

agree? Agreed! Zhu Cixiang instructed his disciples that since the opponent has not clearly seen his strength, they can beat the opponent until nothing is left, but the young women can be preserved and can be passed down to the soldiers to pass on the family line.

Aren’t you trying to come to your hometown and find it hard to leave? I will let the mixed-race soldiers manage this area from now on! Just wait and see, the misfortune will last forever!

If you dare to challenge me, you will not end well! After declaring his separation from the Holy Roman Empire, Crown Prince Joseph angrily accused the Elector Charles Alexander of being ungrateful. It was his father Leopold who promoted the Duchy of Württemberg to an electorate.

What Alexander is doing now is the most obvious betrayal. Traitors will not have a good end, especially those who try to join the yellow-skinned monkey.

After all, Alexander is still a collateral descendant of Joseph. The two parties do have a direct blood relationship. The former is also a member of the Habsburg family, so this makes Joseph even more angry.

No one in the glorious and noble Habsburg family should or can bow to the lowly yellow-skinned monkeys, let alone ask for their forgiveness.

At the moment, although the empire is at a disadvantage, it does not have no chance to reverse the situation. Everything must rely on the will of God to win!

As a family member, betraying the empire, betraying the family, and betraying the Western world before God has even expressed its stance is the most shameless behavior.

Joseph first ordered Alexander to withdraw the content of his previous decision and let Württemberg return to the embrace of the empire.

However, as the war situation became increasingly clear, the latter turned a deaf ear to his orders. Joseph also warned Alexander that if he persisted in his own way, he would be deprived of his title of elector and become a duke.

Alexander was too lazy to respond. Whether he was an elector or a duke, it was the same to him.

Once you become a prisoner of the Ming Emperor, how much difference will there be between these two titles? Seeing that Alexander could not turn back after two consecutive persuasion, Joseph could only order Marshal Fritz to imprison him.

First, Marshal Fritz will manage Württemberg on his behalf, and after a suitable spokesperson is found, it will be officially announced.

However, Marshal Fritz, who was defeated and fled back to Stuttgart, was no longer the same person before the expedition. Stuttgart had been completely controlled by Alexander's direct troops.

The prison guards ordered by Joseph were instead detained by the so-called prisoners. I have to say that this was really a big joke... After Alexander received a reply from the Ming Emperor, he realized that the matter was more difficult than he thought. many.

As a young man under thirty years old, it is indeed not easy to deal with this kind of thing. So after meeting with his confidants, he had to send someone to contact Louis XIV.

As long as His Majesty the European Emperor is willing, Alexander is willing to bring Württemberg to join France. Louis XIV welcomed this very much, but reason told him that doing so would offend both the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Empire.

The current situation is that Alexander is willing to surrender to the Ming Empire, not the Ottoman Empire. However, the Ming Empire was unwilling to accept its surrender, so Alexander used himself as a backup.

Since they were in the northern capital of the Ming Empire, all parties had already formulated the actual line of control after the war and planned to use it as the official national boundary.

So France's sudden annexation of Württemberg would be the first to violate the original agreement. France's second position in the world has long been in jeopardy and may be surpassed by the Inca Empire at any time.

Accepting Württemberg's membership would be tantamount to openly offending Zhu Cihong and Ibrahim. Then France will be attacked by the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire at the same time, which will not be a pleasant feeling.

Louis XIV was not greedy enough to do things regardless of the cost. On the contrary, he had to weigh the pros and cons before making the final decision.

The civil servants headed by Colbert and the generals headed by Marshal Berwick did not think it was a good idea to annex Württemberg, so Louis XIV politely rejected Alexander.

What's more, France and the Habsburg family are old enemies. Prime Minister Richelieu blatantly joined the anti-Holy Roman Empire alliance. The ultimate goal was to bring down the Habsburg family so that France could rise strongly.

Today, more than a hundred years have passed, and this long-cherished wish is about to come true. It is even less possible for Louis XIV to take in a country controlled by Habsburg members.

What if Alexander is a white-eyed wolf in the future? Didn’t all his previous efforts come to naught? Having already offended the Ming Empire and the Ottoman Empire, he had gained nothing and even fell out with an old friend.

For the sake of the connections he had accumulated over the years, Louis XIV had to reject Alexander and let him find his own way.

On June 15, Munich was surrounded by Ottoman troops. The Ming army did not go south to Munich just to let the Ottoman army enjoy this gift exclusively.

The area north of Munich has been occupied by the coalition forces, and Württemberg to the west of Bavaria has escaped the control of Leopold and his sons.

This meant that the father and son only had one lone city left to hold on to, and the garrison's strength would not exceed 200,000, and all the elites had already been lost.

Without God showing up, most people don't think that Leopold and his son can still make a comeback this time.

"Father, we..." Joseph knew that the empire was at the end of its rope, but he still refused to admit defeat and was unwilling to fail.

He thought that he would become a prisoner of the yellow-skinned monkey emperor and spend the rest of his life in the bitterly cold Siberia.

Joseph was unwilling to surrender voluntarily, even if he could be a neighbor to King Christian VI of Denmark.

"Let's hold on first and see if God can save us this time!" Leopold seemed to have seen his destination, and he was devastated, but he was still trying to comfort his son.

The empire has reached the point where it is today, and I have to say that I listened to my son's words. Perhaps the slanderous words were not considered slanderous, but those words harmed the interests of the empire.

If you choose not to be an enemy of the Ming Empire, you can still sit back and relax. It is too late to regret now. Finding ways to communicate with the Ming Empire is the top priority.

Holding on was just an excuse for Leopold to contact the Ming Emperor and make sure to find a way out for the Habsburg family.

As long as he doesn't go to Siberia, he will keep the territory of Vienna permanently for the family. He can accept abdication and ask his son to accept this condition.

From now on, the Habsburgs would no longer be the royal family of Europe. Leopold had no intention of contacting Ibrahim. He knew that the other party would not give him the territory in Vienna.

That guy wanted to occupy Austria, and would not even let go of Bavaria and Bohemia... In order to express his sincerity in treating the European royal family, Ibrahim sent someone to say that as long as Leopold was willing to surrender, he could Let everyone in Munich Adult go free.

Moreover, the island of Milos in the Eastern Mediterranean will be used as its permanent territory. The family can enjoy complete tax-free treatment and have full authority to manage all affairs on the island.

Compared with freezing Siberia, living on an island in the Mediterranean was a good choice in the future, but Leopold was still hesitant.

The main reason is that Ibrahim's character cannot be trusted. Perhaps the emperor of the Ming Empire is still more trustworthy than him.

Zhu Cixiang was not interested at all in where the Leopold family would live in the future. This family has caused huge trouble to themselves and Daming, and has spent no less than two billion silver coins. It would be perfect if all of them died!

Whoever is willing to receive, will receive. If you don't want to accept it, let the family live and die with Munich.

They were Ibrahim's prey and it was inconvenient for him to interfere. If Ibrahim agrees, he will arrange for them to go to Siberia to be neighbors with King Christian VI of Denmark.

Only in this way can he truly feel the consequences of opposing the Ming Empire! At the same time, the Allied and Ottoman forces had joined forces to occupy most of Württemberg except Stuttgart.

Alexander and Leopold were in the same situation, both had only one city left to hold on to. If possible, Alexander could also settle in Siberia with the Leopold family.

There is no need to worry about epidemics there, and low temperature can help them live longer... Ibrahim, who went to the front line in person, offered similar conditions to Leopold and Alexander, but the two were unwilling to pay attention to him, which made He was very depressed.

But the good news is that even if they all surrender to the Ming Emperor, his old friend will transfer them over.

On closer inspection, the situation is quite complicated. Because the war between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire was far earlier than the war between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ming Empire.

but

The scale of the "imperial war" was greater than the former, and the Ming Empire was the party that contributed the most to the war.

Due to his actual status and needs, Ibrahim also had to consider the feelings of his old friends. To the benefit of the Ottomans, Austria would be placed under imperial administration after the war.

As Emperor Leopold of the Holy Roman Empire, Zhu Cihong also said that he would hand it over to Ibrahim.

The most that can be done is to imprison them somewhere until they die, and the same will be true for future generations.

Large-scale killings were largely unlikely and would have tarnished the Ottoman Empire's glorious image. Most of the imperial heads captured by the Ming Empire troops were sent to settle in Siberia.

Ibrahim had a similar idea, but instead of letting them live in the desert, they were exiled to an island.

There are many islands in the eastern Mediterranean, varying in size, and based on the identity of the captives, they can be distributed by level.

After more than ten days of indiscriminate bombing of Stuttgart by the Ottoman air force, Alexander was forced to agree to Ibrahim's proposal.

The destination is Delos Island, northeast of Milos. The area is smaller than the former, but it is enough for the whole family to live.

The premise is that the number of servants carried does not exceed 10,000, and light weapons can be retained, while all heavy weapons can be left behind.

You can also take your personal property with you and enjoy permanent tax-free treatment at your destination. As long as important captives were brought under his control, Ibrahim believed that they would have no chance of escaping.

There are Ottoman Navy warships all around, so you only need to monitor the nearby waters. Even if the target escapes, it must be difficult to find a suitable place to stay.

Asia and America were Zhu Cihong's territory, while Africa and Europe were divided between himself, Zhu Cihong and Louis XIV.

Unless Alexander can run to India, I heard that it is a good place that even Zhu Cixiang is not willing to send troops to occupy...
