At this point, Kohler proposed:

"Why don't you use the army's 'lack of food' as an excuse? The army has no food, and the soldiers make trouble, which is normal. "Kohler was in charge of money, and even the importance of money and food to the army.

Marin nodded:

"It's a good idea, but if you really run out of food, maybe the army will really mutiny, it's too dangerous......"

Several other people also nodded in agreement, indeed, the army's food shortage is not a joke. Even if it is a rumor, if the soldier really believes it, it is easy to cause a big mess.

In the army, it is imperative not to panic, because if rumors of food shortages spread, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened, and even a big mess will occur. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were fighting, because of the lack of food, they had to unjustly kill a warehouse official in charge of grain, Wang Yuan, to calm the panic of the army.

So, while Kohler's advice is good, it is extremely dangerous. If it's self-defeating, it can be a big mess. If the army is really in chaos, it will be useless even if Marin shows up at that time.

Everyone fell silent......

After a long while, Wagner, the commander of the Second Army, suddenly proposed:

"Or are we pretending to engage in a power struggle?"

"A power struggle? What do you mean? Let's be more detailed...... "Marin is interested.

Wagner cleared his throat and said:

"According to the thinking of ordinary people, if the lord really dies and the young lord is young, the grand duchess should be in charge. At the juncture of power alternation, should the Grand Duchess control the military power? ”

"What do you mean......" Marin's eyes lit up.

"My subordinates remember, Madame's maiden family is a knight family, with old Lord Nelson and Young Master Louis, right?" Wagner asked.

At this time, old people such as Schwartz and Kohler laughed. Because, Wagner was wrong.

In fact, among the people present, Wagner and Heynckes were not old men under Marin, but joined later. Therefore, they don't know Angela's true origin, and they think that Angela is the daughter of the Nelson Knight family arranged by Marin to be a cover.

Marin also laughed, considering that the two had already entered the inner circle and did not intend to hide it, so he explained to Wagner and Wagner and Heynckes:

"Angela is not from the Nelson family, she is from Italy."

"Italy? Your father-in-law is ...... the Grand Duke."

"The master of Rome ......," Marin didn't say, but both Wagner and Heynckes grew their mouths in surprise......

The ruler of Rome, isn't that the Pope......

"Now you understand why our Grand Duke is so close to the Holy See, right? Otherwise, the Bishopric of Münster has such a large territory, how can the Holy See give it to us? Schwartz laughed.

Wagner quickly took a long sip of tea to calm his excitement. He and Heynckes glanced at each other, and both saw a surprise in each other's eyes - such a powerful backer, no wonder his own lord could come out so quickly. It is difficult for the church to admit it to ordinary people of low origin. Marin's ability to gain a place in the German Princes' House was inseparable from the support of the Church. After all, the power of the church also accounts for nearly half of the country in the princes' court. With such a boss with a background, the future is bright......

After calming down, Wagner continued:

"My subordinates know where Mrs. Angela is, but the outside world doesn't. So, if the Grand Duke disappears and Lady Angela wants to control the army, should she use her 'own family' to control the army? ”

"You mean, let old Nelson and Louie. Nelson as Legion Commander? Marin seemed to understand what Wagner meant......

"Exactly, of course, this is only a unilateral order of Madame. We can have Madame pretend to give an order for Old Lord Nelson to take over as commander of the Second Legion, and let Louis Murphy take over as commander of the Second Legion. Young Master Nelson assumed the position of Commander of the Third Legion......"

"And then, you and Steindorff pretended to disobey orders and pretended to fall out with Aurich?" Marin understood, and excused.

"That's right, if both I and Captain Steindorff refuse to accept Aurich's command, then there will be only one First Army left in the Beihai Kingdom. When the time comes, are you still afraid that those princes will not be moved? ”

Marin thought for a moment and said:

"The attention is very good, but the problem is that the Second Army is also stationed in Aurich. It stands to reason that if the Second Army did not accept the command of the Orich Palace, the First Army would definitely have to suppress it. Could it be that the First and Second Legions were going to pretend to fight each other in the city of Aurich? Isn't that right? ”

Although the city of Orich is heavily guarded, spies are not good at operating. However, because it is the capital and there are also foreign envoys stationed there, if the two legions make a quarrel, whether they are fighting or not, those envoys can still see it.

If the performance is too realistic, it will be very damaging to Aurich. So, there's something wrong with that.

Wagner was also aware of this situation, and after thinking about it, he suggested:

"Why don't you let Lord Schwartz's 'Regency of Five' find an excuse to transfer the Second Legion out of Aurich first?"

Marin thought for a moment and nodded in agreement......

At the beginning, he transferred the Second Army to Aurich because he was afraid that something would happen to him. When the time comes, there will be two strongest legions in the capital, which will also protect Caesar and Angela.

But now, that I've returned home safely, there's no need for that. Because, everything is under his control.

After thinking about it, he planned to let Schwartz and a few of them transfer the Second Army to Oldenburg City first. In this way, after leaving the Second Army of Aurich, it was possible to "stand on its own" when it arrived at the local level.

……

After the meeting, Marin told Angela about it at night, and asked her to cooperate with Schwartz and others to put on a good show......

Early the next morning, Schwarz, Staad, Kohler, and Sauer, the four members of the five-member Regency Corps who had attended yesterday's meeting, made the decision to "transfer the Second Army Corps to Oldenburg." Haider didn't attend the meeting yesterday and was a little confused. Kohler pulled him aside and whispered a few words, and Heider immediately agreed.

In this way, the Second Army, under the command of its commander Wagner, left Aurich and went to the city of Oldenburg, the capital of the province of Oldenburg, to the east.

……

Soon after, the 6th Army Corps of the North Sea State, stationed in the Ruhr area, suddenly "mutinied......

It is said that the Scottish soldiers of the Sixth Legion, because they missed their homeland and ignored the obstruction of the young legion commander Heynckes, brazenly staged a mutiny one night, rushed out of the camp, all the way north, crossed the Lippe River to the north, and went straight to the port of Emden, the largest port in the North Sea Country, obviously wanting to return home by ship...... Heynckes, on the other hand, pursued them with 3,000 German soldiers......

Of course, this news was deliberately spread by Kohler to the spies of the Beihai Kingdom in the territory of several vassal states around the Beihai State that coveted the agricultural secrets and even the territory of the Beihai State, in order to let several princes know that something had happened in the Beihai Kingdom......

"The Beihai army has mutinied!"

"The Beihai army has mutinied!"

……

This is the biggest news in the northern part of Germany in recent times......

……

Within a few days, there was another big news from Beihai - Angela, the Grand Duchess of Beihai State, announced that she had identified Marin, the Grand Duke of Beihai State. Hoffman had already had an accident and declared himself regent on behalf of his son, with the support of the "Five Regents". Then Mrs. Angela ordered her father, Nelson Sr., to take over the post of commander of the Second Legion. At the same time, ordered to let his younger brother Louis. Nelson took over as commander of the Third Legion...... Clearly, Mrs. Angela wanted to take the army into her own hands......

But what people didn't expect was that Wagner, the commander of the Second Army of the North Sea State, and Steindorff, the commander of the Third Army, both openly expressed their dissatisfaction, and believed that the old Nelson father and son were not capable of serving as the commander of the army, so they refused to obey the order......

Then, Wagner, the commander of the Second Army, fearing that he would be attacked by the strongest First Army in the North Sea State, left Oldenburg directly with the large army (which was also decided after consulting with Marin) and went east to join the Third Army. It seems that the Second and Third Legions of the North Sea Kingdom are planning to unite against the Grand Duchess of the Regent......

The army of the North Sea State seemed to be out of control, and the Second and Third Army Corps, under the leadership of their respective commanders, defected en masse. The only native army that was truly subordinate to the command of the royal palace of Aurich was the First Regiment stationed in Aurich......
