Why did Marin insist on sealing the nobility to America? One reason is that the land in the country is not large enough to divide, and the other reason is that these nobles will also find ways to recruit people to reclaim wasteland.

In addition, these nobles all have a certain degree of military accomplishment, and basically all of them have received training in military command ability since childhood. Once they have interests in America, they will be very enthusiastic to help protect the sovereignty of America.

And if, like the British, only hand over the colonial land to businessmen, adventurers, and even exiled prisoners, the consequences may not be very good. You must know that no matter if it is a businessman, an adventurer or an exile, they are all of low moral character, whoever has a milk is a mother. Although the nobles are not very good, at least they pay attention to honor and loyalty. Therefore, it is also necessary to let some nobles establish a presence in America.

Moreover, if nobles want to protect their rights, they must first recognize and protect the rights of the royal family. Otherwise, the kingship is overthrown, and the next step is that their privileges are taken away. Therefore, although the nobles are not good people, for Marin, it is more reassuring to cooperate with them than to cooperate with businessmen and adventurers.

In addition, once nobles settle in America, they will inevitably become one of the core members of the local parliament. Once a vote is made on independence, these people will definitely choose to support the royal family in order to protect their titles. Otherwise, once they rebel, their titles will no longer exist. After all, without the existence of the royal family, the nobles conferred by the royal family would lose their meaning.

Therefore, in any case, in the American colonies, there is still a group of nobles left to control the place. Otherwise, all businessmen and adventurers will be the representatives, and one day they will have different ideas if they are not guaranteed.

In fact, the collapse of the colonial system of the British Empire in later generations was also related to the death of too many noble officers in the two world wars. With those noble officers around, naturally the colony would not be easily allowed to become independent. However, without those noble officers, when the regime is in the hands of capitalists, those people don't matter. In the eyes of capitalists, they keep the colonies if they make a profit, and throw them away if they don’t. They don’t care about the difficulties of their ancestors when they seized the colonies. In their eyes, as long as the interests are sufficient, the country can also be betrayed. Officials of civilian origin are often easier to be bribed by capitalists because of financial constraints. Officials of noble origin tend to value face and honor more, and are less likely to be bribed. Because they are not short of money...

Because of this, Marin, who had been the monarch for a long time, gradually changed his original position of being closer to the civilians and becoming closer to the military aristocrats. Because, in case of danger, those military nobles are more reliable than civilians. It's not that those military aristocrats have good character, but that they are more in line with their own interests. And commoners, though early on they might appreciate being nice to them. However, after a long time, when the common people have gotten used to these benefits, it will be difficult to say. At that time, they will want more, if they don't give it...

Of course, even if Marin is inclined to military aristocrats, he won't be willing to use any idiot.

Under normal circumstances, the children of the nobles naturally have priority in the army. But in times of war, military merit is king. Whoever has great military exploits is more likely to be promoted. Unless, when a nobleman's military achievement is similar to that of a commoner's son, the nobleman's son will be given priority...

...

In the final analysis, this is still a "ass determines the head" problem. At the beginning, when Marin first crossed over, he still had the mentality of the common people in his heart, he was closer to the common people, and somewhat hostile to the nobles.

When he really became a prince of Germany, Marin gradually discovered that he and the nobles were in the same group...

Treating civilians preferentially by oneself will certainly make civilians grateful. However, people are forgetful. When they get used to the benefits, one day you suddenly don’t give them any more...the so-called "promotion of kindness against misdemeanor" is the truth...

But the veteran aristocrat and himself really can't urinate in the same pot. The veteran aristocrat looks down on Marin's origin and blood, and Marin also looks down on the duplicity and incompetence of the old aristocrat...

In desperation, Marin could only select new military nobles from the civilian soldiers, and use his own thoughts to influence them and turn them into people like himself. In this way, with enough helpers, you don't have to worry about being unlucky and having no supporters in the future.

However, the basic qualities of these military aristocrats who were born as civilians are really unflattering. Kahn is considered stupid, but most of the nobles who were born as commoners are at the same level as this guy. Only Schwartz and Stadt, who were born in the offshoots of the declining aristocracy, can barely be regarded as talents because they have received a good basic education since they were young.

In short, Marin was disappointed with the level of these guys. Even if they engage in literacy later, most of these guys can only reach the level of the second grade of elementary school in later generations, which is really embarrassing.

However, Marin has high hopes for their offspring. After all, receiving education from an early age is definitely better than literacy after adulthood. And the first batch of military officers' children are also in high school now, and they are about to go to college soon.

However, there is currently no specialized military university in Beihai State, only Aurich University has a military academy. Marin felt that he was not strong enough, so he decided to raise the status of the military academy.

Coincidentally, he just got the title of king, and if he doesn't use it, it will be wasted. And the king, as a sovereign monarch, can issue edicts and prepare for the establishment of universities. Unlike the Duke of Beihai, the establishment of a university still needs the approval of the Holy See or the emperor. No way, although the Grand Duchy of the North Sea has autonomy, it is not a sovereign country in name.

But this time the Holy See rewarded him with a different Kingdom of America. Although it was a wild land, it was Marin who had the final say. In the name of the king, in the name of pacifying the barbaric natives, it is still possible to establish a military university.

So, Marin thought of West Point Military Academy...

"Well, everyone is from North America, and they are all called American xx. Then, I will also establish a West Point Military Academy... Just calling West Point Military Academy seems not aggressive enough, then... Let's call it 'Royal West Point Military Academy'..."

In this way, Marin happily named this university belonging to the Kingdom of America "Royal West Point Military Academy". As for the location of the school, Marin intends to place it on the west bank of the Hudson River in New York City. Later, West Point Military Academy is located 80 kilometers north of New York City on the west bank of the Hudson River.

But Marin doesn't plan to build it so far away from New York, but directly plans to build it on the west bank of the river across the island of Manhattan. Then, build a castle called West Point, also named Fort West Point... well, that's what the West Point Military Academy does...

Then, in order to make it reasonable, Marin first issued an order to build a castle called West Point Fortress on the west bank of the Hudson River in New York.

Two days later, Marin signed a new order - intending to build the first university in the Kingdom of America based on Fort West Point... Royal West Point Military Academy...

In this way, the appearance of the name West Point Military Academy does not appear so abrupt...

However, considering that it is estimated that there are no military nobles who are willing to send their children to "remote" New York to go to school, Marin has adopted a compromise plan-separating the Aurich University Military Academy from Aurich University, and Into the newly established "Royal West Point Military Academy". Then, the original "Aurich University Military Academy Branch Campus" outside the city of Aurich was directly renamed "Royal West Point Military Academy Aurich Branch Campus"...

In this way, the problem that the school is too remote is solved. Fortress at West Point or something, just name it. At that time, teaching and so on will still be taught in the branch campus outside Aurich. As for the main campus of the Royal West Point Military Academy...God knows when the enrollment will be completed...

But that doesn't matter, Marin is just borrowing a name anyway. He is now king and is entitled to the title royal (royal in English) or koniglich (royal in German). In short, this is a title that enhances the style. With it, it sounds a lot taller. Just like the Real Madrid of the later generations, if there is no word "Emperor", it will be called "Ma (Delhi)"... The power is suddenly low...

However, Marin was still a little bit uncomfortable, because this "Royal West Point Military Academy", if called in Chinese, always sounds like a school for training cake cooks, which is comparable to Xindongfang...
