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

So, in the end, the emperor decided to let Prince Philip be the villain. Anyway, Prince Philip had already done this villain before. Then, I have another painless objection. not only showed that his IQ was online, but then deliberately showed that he "couldn't control his son". In this way, everything makes sense.

Next, Prince Philip continued to perform hard in response to Marin's statement - Prince Philip said 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 did not have legal effect. Moreover, the British and French sides have never officially announced the existence of such a treaty. Therefore, he is not considered a robbery......

After his statement came out, the English side expressed silence and did not refute it. As for France, it is no longer possible to marry England anyway. As if in order to break up the alliance between the Habsburgs, their sworn enemies, and the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, the French deliberately asked several ministers to say in private that they had not heard of the Treaty of Nantes......

Obviously, the French also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sow discord between the Habsburgs and the North Sea States. After all, the Habsburgs were old enemies of France, and the French did not want such a powerful help from their old rivals.

As soon as the attitude of the French came out, it seemed that the Beihai country was passive. And, what's even worse is that England didn't say anything on this matter.

In this way, the secret agreement concluded by the three parties, which the two parties did not recognize, was almost annulled......

At this time, Marin finally became "angry"......

On an occasion where foreign guests were present, after mentioning this issue, Marin was so angry that he broke several pieces of fine porcelain (porcelain: Why do you always drop me when you have nothing to do?). ）……

Subsequently, Marin said that, in view of the lack of stability on the western border, it was specifically decided to form a Seventh Army to be stationed on the western border of West Frisland and Münster, where the border with the Netherlands border......

Things have developed to this point, and it is almost like tearing your face and starting a war......

At this time, the Habsburgs finally "panicked a little" and sent someone to negotiate. But what is jaw-dropping is that the iron-headed Prince Philip still thinks that the marriage of Prince Ferdinand and Princess Margaret of England is appropriate......

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

"But I like ...... Hey hey ......"

The German princes, when they met in private, expressed their views on the matter. Except for a small number of princes who had good relations with the Habsburgs or the North Sea State, most of the remaining princes gloated over the incident and watched strongly.

"I heard that the Beihai Kingdom is currently going to recruit troops to prepare for war, is it going to send troops to the Netherlands to teach His Royal Highness Prince Philip a lesson?" At the gathering of princes, a prince from the southern mountains said.

"Why don't we make an opening for Marin's goods this time and let them recruit people?" Another prince said.

"Listen to Lord Frederick......" said a prince of a sound disposition. Lord Frederick was the leader of the princes, Frederick III, Elector of Saxony.

"Yes, listen to Lord Frederick!" The other princes chimed in.

When Frederick III saw that the princes were asking about this, he did not immediately express his position, but sent his men to go around the western border of the North Sea Kingdom in the name of business.

As a result, the Saxon spies unexpectedly discovered that the North Sea Kingdom seemed to be building fortresses and fortifications on the western border, as if they were preparing for war......

The spy wasn't really professional enough, and if he was careful enough, he would have found that the forts were all in the southwest, not due west.

Coincidentally, this spy only went to the southwestern border of the North Sea Country and saw the scene of preparing for war......

"So, is Beihai really preparing for war? Is Marin really angry? Frederick III couldn't believe it.

And Joakim I, the Elector of Brandenburg, who happened to be a guest at the Wittenberg Palace, said with a grin while drinking:

"Can you not be angry? Marrying Princess Margaret of England is equivalent to taking the throne of England! To tell you the truth, I want my son to marry England. It's just that I don't know His Majesty Edward well......"

"Yes, the throne ......," Frederick III understood. For the sake of the throne, it is indeed easy to make two allies turn their faces. But for the German princes, this was great news.

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

"I guess this new legion, I'm afraid it's not for the Habsburgs......"

"What do you mean by that?" The princes on the side were curious.

"Forget it, Marin still has two 10,000 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, there is not much point in fighting the Habsburgs. So, I guess that in the end, Marin will still transport this new 10,000-man army to England to fight the civil war in England. King Edward of England currently has two 10,000 troops in his hands, and Marin sends one more to the past, and it is basically stable...... As long as the England side is dealt with, it doesn't matter what the Habsburgs think......"

"That's not right, Marin has four legions in the country, wouldn't it be enough to transfer one or two? Why do you want to form a new legion? "Joakim I was a little puzzled.

Frederick III confidently said:

"It's very simple, when sending troops to England to fight for the throne, that cunning guy from Marin also has to prevent the nest from being raided. This guy does things well, and it is impossible to give others the opportunity to copy his hometown. Therefore, it is very safe to leave 40,000 troops in my hometown......"

Pity a generation of resourceful gods, and make up a strange judgment that seems reasonable in his own brain.

However, this cannot be blamed on Frederick III, who would have thought that the marriage dispute between Marin and the Habsburgs would be a play performed by the two families. The basic argument of speculation is wrong, and it is normal to reach the wrong conclusion......

"Then do we still want to recruit troops for him in the south?" One of the princes asked.

Frederick III smiled confidently:

"Here, why not? Whatever he did on the English side, this time the North Sea Kingdom and the Habsburgs were bound to part ways. ”

After a pause, Frederick III added:

Moreover, Marin, even if he succeeded in fighting for England's marriage, would greatly offend France. After all, France has also been playing England's idea. ”

So, in the end, the result was that the Habsburgs broke with the North Sea Kingdom, but the North Sea Kingdom provoked the powerful French Kingdom as a strong enemy while gaining England. From then on, Marin's guy not only lost the strong reinforcement of the Habsburgs, but also faced the powerful France. Do you think he will still have the heart to participate in the German hegemony in the future? I'm afraid that as long as he dares to mess around and let France find an opportunity, he will send troops to beat him! At that point, we will respond to the French ...... Hehe......"

After a while, some of the princes who wanted to understand laughed. Joakim I thought about it for a while, and it suddenly dawned on him:

"I see! You mean that even if Marin wins the battle for the throne of England, he will provoke a strong opponent like France. After that, he didn't have the energy to do things in the German region anymore? ”

Frederick III nodded and said:

"That's right, whether Marin wins or loses this battle, he will break with the Habsburgs. And, if we win, it's in our favor. Because he will provoke a strong enemy like France, and he will also need to face the resistance of the opposition forces in England, so he will have no time to think about it, and even be in crisis. So, let's cooperate for the time being and let them recruit troops! ”

"Okay, we get it!" 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 flew back to Beihai Kingdom. There was only one sentence on the note on the pigeon's leg - "Recruitment has been allowed, the purpose has been achieved!" ”
