Venetian Consideration & European Reaction Part: (1/2)

June 17th, 1656

Capital City: Venice, The Venetian Republic

Giovanni Morosini was extremely surprised after receiving the war report from the Bharatiya Empire. According to the report, the Bharatiya Empire, which was their partner, had successfully occupied three prominent regions of the Mughal Empire's territory.

Although this was indeed a piece of surprising news due to how fast the pace of the war was, what surprised Giovanni Morosini more was the sheer scale of the war.

'Nearly three million troops'. Giovanni repeated the numbers multiple times as he was too overwhelmed with the figure. You know, Adding up all the people in the territory the Venetian Republic controlled, the population would not exceed 5 million, yet their partner in the subcontinent dared to utilize nearly 1.5 million troops in a war of annihilation.
