Chapter 1307: Prelude to "Resurrection".
Purging the Third Army of traitors is a very important part of all Marin's arrangements. Because, with the presence of these traitors, the Third Army had to stay in Schleswig to continue acting. Not only that, but the Second Army also had to send half of its men to accompany the show on the northern border of Schleswig.
And with the purge of these dozens of traitors, then, the Third Army will no longer have to act. Even, the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Second Army did not have to continue to accompany the acting.
Of course, a third of the Third Army needed to be reorganized and adapted because of the influence of those traitors. Therefore, for the time being, the Third Army Corps will have to solve internal problems.
However, the 5,000 men and horses of the Second Legion, which originally pretended to confront the Third Legion, could be drawn out immediately......
After the internal purge of the Third Army was completed, the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Second Army who remained here to accompany the acting immediately left for the port of Esbjerg on the west coast, and began to line up to board ships to be transported to East Friesland proper, and complete the replacement of the 5,000 recruits. However, the 1000 Straw Hat Swordsman, who is an iconic character, will not be replaced. At that time, the "rebuilt" Second Legion will be composed of 10,000 veterans of the original Second Legion and 1,000 straw hat swordsmen with high martial arts.
As for the Third Legion, Marin did not intend for them to immediately go south to King Qin. Because, according to reason, they should have "betrayed" at this moment. My purpose is to convince everyone that all this is true. Therefore, the Third Army must also act as if it were a real betrayal. And the Second Army, because it was quietly replacing the new Second Army, could enter the battlefield in advance.
As for the Sixth Legion, which was hidden in the East Frisian Islands, Marin did not intend to let them show up too soon. Because, according to the script, they should be "back to Scotland". Even if he rejoined Marin, he shouldn't have appeared so soon. So, they're definitely the last to play.
……
"Well, it's time for the 'resurrection'!" Seeing that he was almost ready, Marin began the steps of "resurrecting" himself......
The first step is not that Marin directly appeared, but that one of the hidden ships was rushed back to China......
Marin did not follow the ship, but continued to hibernate. Then, let the ship be a foreshadowing, so that your appearance is not too "stiff......
A few days later, a "Class 250" armed merchant ship that had originally belonged to Columbus Jr.'s fleet appeared in the port of Emden, causing a huge sensation......
It stands to reason that except for the "Denburg" and "Las Vegas", which were the first to return, the other eight ships were all shipwrecked in the storm.
However, when Marin arranged for the two ships to show up, he let them talk about the "probable" death...... That is, probably alive......
This time it was the "Bremen" who was arranged to return, and they were originally with little Columbus. Later, on the way back, Marin sent someone to the Canary Islands to stop them and prevent them from returning home. Not even, did not show up in the port of Las Palmas on the Canary Islands, and went straight west to Grenada. Then, from Grenada, he traveled north along the east coast of North America to New York for repairs.
After that, they quietly returned to Europe and hid near the port of Newcastle, waiting for Marin's summons......
No, Marin felt that the time was almost up, so he asked little Columbus to send a ship back, and prepared lines for Captain Bodgor......
"We had a huge storm in the southern Indian Ocean, and the fleet was blown apart by the storm. Later, our 'Bremen' was blown to an island called Mauritius. The island, which is about half the size of East Friesland (about 2,000 square kilometers), has a peculiar bird called the dodo. The dodo grows fat and weighs more than 20 pounds. But their wings are degraded and they cannot fly, they can only walk. So, it's good to hunt. On the island, we survived by eating the meat of this stupid and fat bird......" Bodgare, standing on a high platform in the port of Emden, told everyone what had happened to him.
"So, is that dodo delicious?" A little boy asked innocently.
Bodgaor gave him an appreciative look and said:
"That's a good question, but little one, the bird meat is very coarse, it's hard to cook, and the meat is very untasty. But, my little gentleman, you must know that we were drifted to that island in a storm, and it would be nice to have meat to eat. So, even though it's not tasty, let's eat it too! Moreover, each adult weighs more than 20 pounds, has a lot of meat, and has enough fat, which is very suitable for food ......."
At this time, suddenly a large group of people came to the dock. It turned out that it was Angela, protected by a large group of guards, who came to the docks. After hearing Bodgor's previous words, Angela suddenly asked:
"Do you know the news of Grand Duke Marin? She should still be alive, right? After saying that, Angela showed a look of great anticipation......
In fact, Angela naturally knows that her husband is still alive, and she still sees it every day. However, she must pretend today that "her husband has not come home yet, and his wife is looking forward to it" to avoid suspicion from the outside world. Just to connect with the expression of "expectation", Angela practiced for half an hour......
Bodgor's originally radiant expression suddenly became hesitant...... His acting skills are very good, otherwise, he would not have been sent back to act......
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm not sure! At that time, our fleet was hit by a huge storm. The mast of our 'Bremen' was blown off and we drifted to the island called Mauritius with great difficulty. Later, it took us several months to repair the ship. Then, I rushed back......"
"As for the other ships...... It was blown away by the storm...... I think the Grand Duke should still be alive...... Perhaps, like us, they have drifted to some desert island, and at this moment, they are making a living by hunting birds and animals on the island. Then, by all means, repair the ship and prepare to return...... Just be patient, the Grand Duke will definitely come back......"
Having said that, Bodgor's face was heavy. His words sounded more like comfort......
At this time, the people on Emden Pier also fell silent. Marin is still a very good lord for these ordinary people. After all, after the abundant grain production in Beihai Country, everyone ate well. Not only was there enough bread, but I was also able to eat salted fish regularly, and my life was much better than eating a black baguette mixed with dirt and stones.
So, someone took the lead:
"Let's pray for Grand Duke Marin and wish him a safe return!"
Then, people chimed in......
But Angela suddenly broke out:
"I don't want any prayers, I want my husband to come back safely! Admiral Kidd (Commander-in-Chief of the Navy), please send a fleet to search the desert islands in the southern Indian Ocean as soon as possible to find my husband! ”
"Yes, ma'am, I'll arrange for the fleet to go!" Kidd leaned over to receive the order.
But in reality, Kidd had long been secretly cared for - just send a few ships. Moreover, those ships did not really go to the southern Indian Ocean, but to Newcastle......
All this is just a foreshadowing for Marin's "resurrection", and it can only be regarded as a prelude......
