The Rise of the European Emperor

Originally, according to the plan negotiated by Marin and Maximilian I, the emperor also publicly expressed his support for the marriage of Prince Ferdinand and Princess Margaret. But later, after the emperor and Prince Philip discussed, they thought this was too fake. After all, the consequences of offending Marin are obvious, the emperor is not that stupid, which is unreasonable.

So, in the end, the emperor decided to let Prince Philip be the villain. Anyway, Prince Philip had already done this villain before. Then, come back with a non-painful objection. Not only showed his IQ online, but then deliberately showed the appearance of "can't control his son". In this way, everything is reasonable.

Next, in response to Marin's statement, Prince Philip continued to perform diligently-Prince Philip said to the outside world that the legendary Treaty of Nantes was not witnessed by a third country, and Edward was not the monarch of England at that time, so it had no legal effect. . Moreover, the British and French sides have never officially announced the existence of this treaty. Therefore, he is not a robber...

After his statement came out, England expressed silence and did not refute. On the French side, it was impossible to marry England anyway. It seems that in order to break up the alliance between the sworn enemy Habsburg family and the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, the French even deliberately let several ministers privately say that they have never heard of the "Nantes Treaty"...

Obviously, the French also want to take the opportunity to act as a demon and provoke the relationship between the Habsburg family and the North Sea. After all, the Habsburg family is the old enemy of France, and the French do not want such a strong help from the old enemy.

As soon as the attitude of the French came out, it seemed that Beihai Kingdom was passive. Moreover, what is even worse is that England has not made a statement on this matter.

In this way, the secret contract concluded by the three parties, the two parties did not recognize it, almost voided the contract...

At this time, Marin was finally "exasperated"...

On an occasion where foreign guests were present, Marin was so angry that he smashed several pieces of fine china on the spot (porcelain: why do you always break me when you have nothing to do?)…

Later, Marin said that in view of the lack of stability on the western border, it was specially decided to form a seventh army, stationed in West Frisland and the western border of Münster - where it is on the border with the Netherlands...

Things have developed here, and this is almost about to tear the face and start a war...

At this time, the Habsburg family finally "was a little panicked" and sent someone to negotiate. But it is astounding that the iron-headed Prince Philip still thinks that the marriage of Prince Ferdinand and Princess Margaret of England is suitable...

"My God, how did His Majesty the Emperor give birth to such a stupid son?"

"But I like...hehe..."

When the German princes met in private,

expressed his views on the matter. Except for a small number of princes who had good relations with the Habsburg family or the North Sea Kingdom, most of the other princes gloated over the matter and watched strongly.

"I heard that Beihai Kingdom is currently recruiting troops to prepare for the war. Is it going to send troops to the Netherlands to teach His Royal Highness Prince Philip?" said a prince from the southern mountainous area at the gathering of princes.

"How about we make an opening for the Marlins this time and let them recruit people?" said another prince.

"Let's listen to Lord Frederick's opinion..." said a prince with a stable character. Lord Frederick, the leader of the princes, Frederick III, Elector of Saxony.

"Yes, listen to Lord Frederick's opinion!" The other princes also echoed.

When Frederick III saw the princes inquiring about the matter, he did not express his position immediately, but sent his men to go around the western border of Beihai Kingdom in the name of doing business.

As a result, the spies of Saxony accidentally discovered that the North Sea Kingdom seemed to really build forts and fortifications on the western border, as if preparing for war...

This spy is actually not professional enough. If he is careful enough, he will find that these fortresses are all in the southwest direction, not due west.

Coincidentally, this spy only went to the southwestern border of Beihai Kingdom and saw the scene of preparations for the battle...

"So, Beihai Kingdom is really preparing for war? Is that guy Marin really pissed off?" Frederick III couldn't believe it.

And the elector of Brandenburg, Joachim I, who happened to be a guest at the Wittenberg Palace, said with a smile while drinking:

"Can you not be angry? Marrying Princess Margaret of England is equivalent to winning the throne of England! To be honest, I want my son to marry England. It's just that I am not familiar with His Majesty Edward... "

"Yeah, the throne..." Frederick III understood. For the sake of the throne, it is indeed easy to turn the two allies over. But for the German princes, this is indeed great news.

As the most resourceful man among the princes, after a sip of wine, Frederick III said leisurely:

"I guess, this new army is probably prepared for the Habsburg family..."

"How do you say this?" The princes on the side were very curious.

"Everyone forgot, Marin still has two tens of thousands of troops in England, right?"

"What do you mean...Marin plans to lead troops to force the palace in England?" The wiser princes guessed what Frederick III meant.

Frederick III was confident:

"Yes, the battle with the Habsburgs doesn't make much sense. So, I reckon that in the end, Marin will still transport this new army of ten thousand people to England to fight the civil war in England. King Edward of England is currently in hand. There are two legions of 10,000 people in it, and if Marin sends another one, it will basically be stable... As long as the England side is settled, it doesn't matter what the Habsburg family thinks..."

"That's not right. Marin has four legions in the country. Wouldn't it be enough to transfer one or two? Why should a new legion be formed?" Joachim I was a little puzzled.

Frederick III believed in himself:

"It's very simple. When sending troops to England to fight for the throne, that sly guy in Marin also has to prevent his nest from being copied. This guy does everything well, and he can't give others the opportunity to copy his home. So, in It is a very safe way to keep 40,000 troops in my hometown..."

The poor generation of resourceful gods made up a seemingly reasonable and bizarre conclusion.

However, this cannot be blamed on Frederick III. How could he have thought that the marriage dispute between Marin and the Habsburg family was actually a play performed by the two together. The basic argument of speculation is wrong, and it is normal to get a wrong conclusion...

"Then shall we still recruit troops for him in the south?" a prince asked.

Frederick III smiled confidently:

"Here, why not? No matter what he does in England, the North Sea Kingdom and the Habsburgs will definitely part ways this time."

After a pause, Frederick III said again:

"Also, even if Marin succeeds in competing for England's marriage, he will offend France greatly. After all, France has been fighting England's idea."

"So, in the end, the Habsburg family broke with the North Sea Kingdom, but when the North Sea Kingdom got England, it also provoked the mighty French Kingdom, a powerful enemy. Since then, the Marin guy has not only lost Kazakhstan The strong support of the Busburg family will also face the powerful France. You say, will he still have the intention to participate in the German hegemony in the future? I am afraid that as long as he dares to mess up and let France find an opportunity, he will send troops to beat him! When the time comes, let's respond to France again...hehe..."

After a while, some princes who wanted to understand laughed. Joachim I thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized:

"I see! You mean that even if Marin wins the battle for the throne in England, he will provoke a powerful enemy like France. In the future, he will not have the energy to do things in Germany?"

Frederick III nodded and said:

"Yes, whether Marin wins or loses this battle, he will break with the Habsburgs. Moreover, if he wins, it will be better for us. Because he will provoke a strong enemy like France, and he will also We need to face the resistance of the opposition forces in England, and we have no time to worry about it, and even the crisis is full of crisis. Therefore, everyone cooperate for the time being and let them recruit troops!"

"Okay, we understand!" The princes who came to the party nodded in agreement.

The princes present did not know that after the banquet, a carrier pigeon took advantage of the night to fly into the sky and fly back to Beihai Kingdom. There was only one sentence on the note on the pigeon's leg-"The recruitment has been allowed, and the purpose has been achieved!"
