Because of the limited amount of zinc ingots he could get back, Marlin couldn't start making gunmetal and navy copper on a large scale right now. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the Barkens lead-zinc mine on Newfoundland produces more zinc before we can consider mass production of gunmetal and navy copper.

At the same time, the Bakkens lead-zinc mine can also produce a certain amount of lead, copper, and small amounts of silver and gold. Needless to say, the role of lead is needed in large quantities to make lead bullets. The value of copper is also high, especially now that the price of copper in Europe is very expensive. However, the average grade of copper ore here is only 1.57%, and the difficulty of ore transportation makes the mining cost much higher than that of the Swedish Faylon copper mine.

I was thinking about the matter of the Faryn copper mine in Sweden, when suddenly Kohler came over to report the intelligence from Sweden - Old Sten. Sture died......

Marin nodded, signaling that he understood. For the old Sten. Marin was not surprised by Sturley's death. Because, old Sten. Sturley should have died at the end of 1503. It was Marin who sent two Mongolian doctors to give the old Sten a miraculous oriental turnip, ginseng, with their superb medical skills and the use of ginseng, a miraculous oriental radish obtained from the trade routes of Central Asia. Stourey was alive.

It's a pity that old Sten. Stourey was already in his sixties, and his body collapsed as early as 1503. Although he used ginseng to prolong his life, it was a pity that the old guy did not take care of his body and did not cultivate in time, but continued to work hard. After two more years, he died......

In fact, the old Sten. Sture's death also has something to do with Marin. Before, in order to give old Sten. Sturley continued his life, and Marin spared no cost, from the hands of the Crimeans and spent a lot of money, to buy ginseng from the East and give it to old Sten. Sturley lives on. But since the settlement with King Hans of Denmark, Marin deliberately stopped Old Sten. Supply of Sturley Ginseng. Moreover, this thing is really not easy to sell, and the price is high.

Without the continuation of ginseng, plus the old Sten. Sturley worked day and night for Sweden's national affairs, but he couldn't hold it up—just as Marin had expected......

So, before the arrival of Christmas in the winter of 1505, the frail old Stern. Stuure finally fell......

At this time, there was a lot of quarrel in Sweden over who to elect as the new king. Old Sten. Sturley's death also had a significant bearing on the king's choice.

If you stay in ancient China, like the old Sten. A regent with such a high prestige as Stuure may have taken the throne himself when the throne is vacant.

It's a pity that this is Europe, ancient Europe, very particular about blood. Old Sten. Stuure comes from a low-level aristocratic family, and although he has outstanding abilities, his background is not really noble. If you change to a military powerhouse like Marin, you may be able to ascend to the Swedish throne directly. It's a pity that Sweden and Poland are similar, and the system of electing kings is popular. Moreover, it was popular to choose a new king among the great nobles of the country. Large families such as Sweden's famous Vasa, Bondai, Toth and Oxensensäina are the most contenders for the Swedish king.

But the problem now is that there are no particularly outstanding representatives of these big aristocratic families. Old Sten. Unable to find a new king who would be accepted by all of Sweden, including Finland, Stulay could find a new king. For this, old Sten. Stuure was at a loss. In addition, the supply of ginseng soup that had always been there was suddenly cut off, and the already weak body was unable to support it in the end......

Old Sten. After Sture's death, there was chaos in Sweden. Originally, there was old Sten. Sture, a powerful and powerful man, suppresses it, and Sweden is quite peaceful.

But old Sten. Stuure's sudden death immediately messed up Sweden. Everyone was already fighting for the throne, and now the sudden death of the principal has made the battle for the throne even more confusing. Even, some families have begun to prepare for the use of force to solve the problem of the throne......

Old Sten. After Sture's death, he left behind a son, Sten Jr. Stuure. It's a pity, little Sten. Stuure was born in 1492 and is now only 13 years old. No matter how you choose, the benefits have nothing to do with the little guy......

Seeing that the Swedish civil war was about to break out, in order to stabilize the situation, everyone finally made a compromise - let the old Sten. Stourey's deputy, Svante. Nelsson succeeded him as consul and governed Sweden. However, at the same time, the question of who will be elected as king continues......

Svante. Nelson had good abilities, but he didn't have much prestige. The most important thing is that he can't suppress the big families in Sweden......

Old Sten. When Stuure was alive, several major families were restrained because of his prestige. However, the newly appointed consul Svante. Nelson, the ability is there, but the prestige is too bad. At the government council, the representatives of the big families did not give much to Svante. Nelson face.

In fact, Svante Nelsson came from a noble birth - his mother came from a dynasty family that had produced King Karl VIII.

If Svante. Nelson was born in a Bundai family, so it is estimated that there is no choice, the king must be Svante. Nelson to do it. After all, no matter how much prestige he has, he is better than the unsuccessful guys of those big families.

However, Svante. Nelson's paternal family, the Stull family, is not a few top families, and it can't compete with the Vasa family, the Bangdai family, etc. Even the patriarch of his mother's family, the patriarch of the Bangdai family, did not support Svante. Nelson. After all, the Bondai family also wants to compete for this throne.

So now Sweden domestic, in the old Sten. After Stuure's death, there was chaos. Because, several powerful families especially want to compete for this throne......

You know, competing for the king and competing for the posterity of the president are completely two different concepts. Because, the king is hereditary, and the president does it in turn.

As long as the throne is contested, if there is no heir, the throne is generally hereditary by a family, which belongs to "one success, one generation benefits". Therefore, the competition for the throne is very fierce, and everyone does not give in to each other.

For example, the Bangdai family believed that their family had produced King Karl VIII and belonged to a noble family and should inherit the throne. However, the Thoth family strongly objected, because Karl VIII had only one daughter and was married to the Thoth family. Therefore, the House of Thoth believed that the throne should be in the House of Thoth.

And the Vasa family and several other powerful families believe that Karl VIII was also elected by several major families. Since Karl VIII was chosen by everyone, why can't he be re-chosen......

For the sake of this throne, several major families have torn apart extremely strongly, and they have almost reached the critical point of using force......

Originally, this had nothing to do with Marin. However, according to intelligence, in the old Sten. After Sture's death, some large Swedish families began to covet the huge profits of the French copper mines. In particular, the Vasa family, which later came out of the second master of Gu. Because, the Fayilun copper mine is very close to the territory of the Vasa family. In the face of the huge reserves and output of the Fayilun copper mine, the Vasa family moved the evil idea, planning to unite with other powerful families to seize the huge interests of the copper mine......
