Ariosto's eyes lit up instantly. "Are you saying, the Security Organization will..."
Talleyrand smiled and nodded again. "The moment Luca declares war, the Security Organization will begin mobilizing its troops. As long as the Neapolitans dare to fight back, our armies will immediately enter Abruzzo."
Abruzzo is a strategic stronghold northwest of Naples, only about 150 kilometers from the capital, Naples City.
Yet Ariosto still felt uneasy and said, "Your Excellency Archbishop, but what if Ferdinand IV seeks help from Austria?"
On the surface, Naples follows Spain, but in truth, it has always pursued a pro-Austrian policy.
Talleyrand shot him a glance. "If he still remembers General Cordova, he wouldn't make that choice."
He was referring to the early 16th century, when the Duchy of Milan, due to Neapolitan interference in its succession, decided to join with France to attack Naples.
King Ferdinand II of Naples couldn't hold out and turned to Spain for help.
