The Rise of the European Emperor

After the four major legions were arranged, Marin began to formally arrange the camouflage of suspended animation.

In fact, there are now rumors that Marin died in a shipwreck in Europe. However, there was no hard evidence for that, so no one believed it.

Therefore, if you want to create the illusion that Marin died in a shipwreck, you need evidence. As it happens, Marin has evidence...

What is the evidence? It was the ships of the fleet when Marin went out to sea!

Previously, although Marin went to Daming on the 10 500-ton warships, when he set off publicly, Marin took 10 250-class armed merchant ships to sea. And it was little Columbus who led the team. Moreover, on the way, Marin also visited Lisbon specially, and signed a treaty with Manuel I on the division of the Far East.

Later, after passing through the Canary Islands, Marin took two ships and turned west to Panama. The other eight ships, led by Columbus Jr., continued on the African coastline.

Moreover, this time Marin returned from Panama, the four 250-class armed merchant ships included the two ships that sent him to Panama. The two ships are now secretly docked in Wilhelmshaven, off the coast of Oldenburg.

So, Marin wanted to play dead, let those two ships go home, and then pretend that all the other ships were sinking...

In addition, Marin will send a ship to the Canary Islands to intercept the returning fleet of Columbus. After all, if that fleet came back, it would be worn out. At the very least, Columbus Jr.'s fleet won't be ready to return until after the show is over. The port of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands is an important supply station for the returning fleet along the way. Therefore, sending a ship can stop little Columbus and let him delay the pace of returning home.

...

After all arrangements were made, the two 250-class armed merchant ships "Denburg" and "Las Vegas", which were responsible for sending Marin to Panama and returning Marin, returned to Emden Port openly and brought them with them. Returned a piece of news that shocked the North Sea Kingdom - the other 8 ships, including the one carrying Marin and Little Columbus, all went missing in the storm during the return voyage...

The news was so shocking that many people were immediately stunned when they heard it...

The "Den Burg" and the "Las Vegas" are known to most people in Port Emden. Because, two years ago, Marin took 10 ships including these two ships to open sea to the Far East.

But now the two ships have come back alone, and Marin hasn't...it's a big deal...

...

even though,

The captains of the two ships said that the other eight were lost in the storm and may come back, but in this day and age, too few ships have come back in the storm.

After all, there are no maritime search and rescue aircraft in this day and age. If a ship encounters a storm, it basically sinks. Because European ships do not have watertight compartments in this era, the probability of shipwrecks in storms is very high. As long as it leaks, it's basically over.

Therefore, in a naval battle, as long as the iron ball cannonball can smash the broadside of the opponent's ship, the enemy ship will basically sink. On the contrary, Huaxia ships have a watertight compartment design, and even if they are shot, it is difficult to sink. But there are fireboat tactics in the east, which can solve the problem of the enemy's ship being difficult to sink. As long as it's a wooden boat, it will be over if you get hit...

As for the problem of someone drifting on a desert island with a deck after a shipwreck, this is not realistic either. Because, even if someone is lucky enough to survive on the deserted island, no one will rescue them. Because there are very few ships on the Far East route at present, it is absolutely delusional to expect a passing ship to rescue them.

Therefore, no one thinks that Marin et al have a chance to come back alive...

Of course, the problem of Marin's fleet deviating from course cannot be ruled out. Therefore, everyone plans to wait a month to see the situation. Because, if it deviates from the course, it is basically delayed for a month and it should come back. And if you don't come back after a month, you won't be able to come back...

...

When the news reached Orich City, Schwartz, Kohler, and Sauer all put on an expression of disbelief, and came to the palace together to persuade Angela.

And Angela, after hearing the news, must also act like... cry...

But Angela's crying scene was not enough, so she had to use the prop onion...

Then, Angela, who learned that her "husband was missing", "crying" with the help of an onion...

After that, Angela began to officially use the Liu Tianxian card with a paralyzed face, with a look of "do not approach strangers", which made people mistakenly think that she was desperate...

But while putting on a paralyzed face, Angela repeatedly emphasized that her husband is still alive and will definitely come back, and no one is allowed to curse her husband...

However, her statement was interpreted by outsiders as "Mrs. Angela is deceiving herself and refusing to accept the reality"...

But how can outsiders know - Angela is telling the truth, she now meets her husband through secret channels every night...

...

Subsequently, the news began to spread to the entire North Sea country and even abroad...

After learning that his eldest son might be killed in a shipwreck, Columbus, an old pervert who used to patronize Mao Mei in Las Vegas, also hurried to Aurich to verify the truth of the matter.

For the sake of secrecy, Angela naturally couldn't tell Columbus the truth. This made Columbus very sad, after all, that was his eldest son as heir...

Fortunately, Columbus still has a son, but he is not worried about extinction. But Columbus made up his mind--never let his second son go on a big voyage, lest the Columbus family end...

...

The old Hoffmans were also very sad when they heard the news. Mrs. Mary's eyes were swollen from crying, and old Hoffman groaned all day long. After all, Marin was the most promising child of the Hoffman family, and led the Hoffman family to glory. Now, suddenly gone, how can the old couple not be sad?

Angela couldn't bear it, and almost wanted to tell the second old the truth, but was stopped by Marin. Because, Marin wants to know how the old Hoffman arranges the boss Adler after the event...

...

The Baudigard family (Kahn and Kohler's family), his parents and brothers, and his two wives, also grieved. Kohler can only try his best to comfort, because he can't leak secrets casually. So, I can only make my family sad for a while...

...

Beihai Kingdom was in great grief, and many officials and generals were in great grief. Most of them were picked up by Marin himself, and naturally they were saddened by Marin's "death". But there are also those who are not sad, for example, the old-fashioned nobles who were suppressed by Marin before...

"Haha, that tyrant is finally dead, here's our chance!" A lost nobleman laughed at a secret gathering.

"Yes, we will take this opportunity to put pressure on Mrs. Angela to restore the parliament. Without the monitoring of the parliament controlled by the nobles like us, the Beihai Congress would be a mess..."

"Right, right..." A group of people echoed.

But they also don't think about it. There was no parliament formed by them before, and there was no chaos? They really put money on their faces...

...

At the same time, some unsatisfactory middle and lower-level officers in the Beihai National Army also began to panic. But the middle- and lower-level officers from ordinary civilians were just a little flustered, and some people from wandering knights began to have plans. Because some of them have already been contacted.

However, only a few people agreed before, but with the news that Marin may really be killed, some of the wall-riding factions who were swinging from left to right officially began to have other thoughts...

...

And when the news spread to Beihai Kingdom, except for a few of Marin's allies, most of the princes were jubilant...

"The devil is finally dead! Good death!" Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, who had been beaten by Marin, smiled proudly...
