The Rise of the European Emperor

Originally, Marin just planned to lead the army to the south to intimidate the princes, but unexpectedly, because of the scourge of the coalition forces of the princes, the southern area of ​​Alsace and the Earl of Baden were so severely damaged that the common people could not survive.

Seeing such an opportunity, if Marin didn't take advantage of it, he wouldn't be him. Then, the Beihai State had just 10,000 high-quality soldiers and tens of thousands of immigrants.

However, Marin was unwilling to fall out with His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, he also sent someone to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor in Innsbruck, saying that after seeing the miserable lives of the people in southern Alsace after the food was robbed, he felt pity, so he recruited A group of immigrants left to prevent them from starving to death... However, after recruiting some victims, he remembered that they were the subjects of the Habsburg family, and it was not appropriate for him to do so... So he decided to stop soliciting and donate The emperor sent a batch of grain for disaster relief...

What Marin wrote in the letter was an understatement, and tens of thousands of immigrants were described by him as "part". His Majesty the Emperor didn't know the exact number, so he thought it was just a small number of people, and he was glad that Ma Lincoln sent him a batch of grain to save the lives of the people. But later, when he realized that he had lost tens of thousands of people, he was so depressed that he almost vomited blood...

However, Maximilian I did not turn his face against Marin after all. Because, even if Marin did not recruit those tens of thousands of people, he would not be able to provide them with money and food. In that case, they would still starve to death...

In the "Thirty Years' War", why did 8 million people die in Germany with more than 12 million people? Most of them did not die from military disasters, nor did they die from plague, but from famine...

The war led to the suspension of agricultural production. Without food, how can ordinary people live? Counting on those poor nobles to help the victims? Might as well hope for a sow to climb a tree...

The situation is the same now. If Marin does not immigrate tens of thousands of people, there will be a great famine in the local area, and many people will die. And Marin immigrated tens of thousands of people, and at the same time provided a batch of food relief, which can ensure that most people in southern Alsace and Baden County can survive...

...

Of course, after completing the recruitment of recruits and refugees, it was impossible for Marin to personally arrange the transportation of these victims. Therefore, he sent people to hurry back to the country and asked Kohler to prepare a large number of inland ships, take the Münster Canal, enter the Rhine River, and then come to Alsace to transport the victims back to the North Sea.

Marin, on the other hand, regrouped an army of 40,000, left Strasbourg arrogantly, and went south to Basel City to intimidate the princes...

...

"Brilliant,

awesome,

bang bang bang bang

..."

Along the way, 40,000 soldiers of the Beihai Kingdom sang the song of German mercenaries -- "Our Beloved Lady"...

40,000 young men sang "Our Beloved Lady" confidently, and strode south with neat steps. Only the three thousand Ukrainian Cossacks can't sing this song, they can only follow the team silently, but their eyes are full of envy...

The atmosphere of the Beihai army was very good. Marin asked the soldiers to compete and sing with each other in a phalanx, and it was a neat chorus. When I have nothing to do, I also engage in activities such as football matches to enrich the lives of the soldiers.

Of course, Marin also allowed some down-and-out women to do business near the barracks. After all, under Marin's propaganda, even if syphilis was under control in Europe. Even if those big soldiers find their daughters to "talk about life and ideals", there is no risk of contracting syphilis. It can be said that what Marin has done is boundless.

...

Strasbourg and Basel are not far away, only more than 140 kilometers away. It took just over three days for the North Sea Army to march from Strasbourg to the north of Basel City.

Then, Marin left 20,000 civilians to build camps. And he himself took an army of 40,000 to show off his power outside Basel...

Marin did not intend to attack the city, but was planning to hold a military parade outside Basel to show off his force...

What kind of military parade? After Marin left more than 10,000 people to guard against the allied forces of the princes in the city,

A high platform was built in the north of Basel City, and a square was cleared. But there was no military parade that day. After all, the soldiers were tired after marching for three days. Early the next morning, everyone had enough rest and was refreshed before the military parade began...

First, the marching band was brought together to play...

The repertoire I played this time is a little bit-"Soviet March"...

Yes, this is the game theme song of the famous "Red Alert 3". In later generations, many military fans used this song as the bgm (background music), with the military parade scene, it exploded...

However, this piece of music was temporarily prepared by Marin on the way south from Strasbourg. Because he intends to intimidate the princes in Basel. Therefore, some oppressive music is needed.

And in terms of oppression, who can compare to "Soviet March"? This explosive music seems to be born to cooperate with military parades and displays of force...

However, due to time constraints, Marin only taught the military band to play the "Soviet March" in three days. As for the lyrics, Marin changed them several times, but he didn't change the lyrics as aggressive as the original lyrics. Therefore, in the end, Marin only made slight adjustments to the lyrics, and only modified the lyrics with Maozi characteristics such as "Soviet" and "Neva River". Then, simply let the soldiers sing in Russian directly...

So, on the temporary square in the north of Basel City, there was an eye-catching scene——

The elite veterans of the First Legion and the Second Legion walked through the square with a square formation as a unit...

When each phalanx passed the high platform where Marin was standing, it would immediately switch from walking in unison to walking forward, with a very, very chic posture...

Of course, this is not hot-eyed, the real hot-eyed one is on the edge of the square, next to the military band, a group of big German men are singing "Soviet March" in unison in unproficient Russian——

"We Bears will punish the world,

From the British Isles to the Baltic Sea;

At any moment the war song resounds across the land,

Capital, Whiskey, North Sea Colossal Bear

..."

Then, the German princes who were watching strongly on the top of the city of Basel were stunned-what are these guys singing? However, it sounds like a mouthful...

Can you not hold it? Although I don't understand Russian, this song ignited the world in later generations. Even if you don't understand what is being sung, it doesn't stop the men's blood boiling...

In fact, at this moment, not only the princes at the head of Basel City are confused, but also the Ukrainian Cossacks listening on the sidelines are also confused...

Many Ukrainian Cossacks can understand Russian. When they heard the phrase "We bears will punish the whole world", many Ukrainian Cossacks who understand Russian are in a bad mood-what do you mean? Who is Teddy Bear? Then look at the body hair on my body... Well, there is indeed quite a lot of it, just a bear...

...

Not to mention the ignorance of the two groups of people, "March of the Soviet Union" is indeed a passionate battle song. Even if they don't understand, the German princes above the city of Basel can feel a powerful momentum from the winning side...

The passionate "March of the Soviet Union", combined with the uniform pace of the veterans of the First Army and the Second Army, is simply amazing...

Moreover, like the "March from Hell", one of the theme songs of "Red Alert 3", from time to time, there will be a soldier with a loud voice shouting in German-"Die Waffen-legt an!", which means "Ready you weapons!"

...

Such a perfect and domineering bgm, plus the veterans of the first and second legions themselves are full of momentum and strict discipline. The entire military parade brought great pressure to the German princes on the head of Basel...

"This is no ordinary army, this is the god of death from hell!" said a count in fear.

No one refuted his words, because the other princes were also frightened. Moreover, they also agree with this sentence...

In this way, Marin used a military parade with a powerful bgm to scare the princes in Basel, making the people in Basel panic...
