This time Julius II ascended the throne, Marin can be said to be in the limelight. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info attracted the envy of many people, and also caused many people to be dissatisfied.

Among these disgruntled people was Marin's current boss, Maximilian I......

As for why Maximilian I was dissatisfied with Marin? Quite simply, Marin provided 7,000 troops to Julius II, which was a higher salary than his boss.

You must know that Marin did support the emperor before, and sent Frenzberg and the two phalanxes to Switzerland to help resist the attack of the Swiss.

Originally, the emperor was still very grateful to Marin. But without contrast, there is no harm. Now, Marin directly provided 7,000 troops to the Pope, more than twice as many as to the Emperor...... This made the emperor jealous......

So, that night, Maximilian I called Marin to his mansion, intending to give Marin a lecture and express his dissatisfaction. After all, he is Marin's boss. The younger brother of his subordinates gives more "offerings" to others than to himself, can he be satisfied as the boss?

When he came to the mansion where Maximilian I lived, Marin saw Maximilian I's gloomy face, and quickly reacted - Boss Ma was jealous......

So, Marin quickly thought of a countermeasure. After all, the title of Duke of Schleswig in Marin had not yet been recognized by the Imperial Diet, and needed to be recognized by Maximilian I.

Speaking of which, the Duchy of Schleswig was not a feudal state of the Holy Roman Empire, not canonized by the Emperor of the HRE, but has always been a vassal state of Denmark.

However, later on, due to the closer and closer relations and exchanges with the neighboring German vassal state of Holstein, it was greatly influenced by German culture. Even, the southern half of the principality, for hundreds of years, a large number of Germans poured in, occupying half of the country.

That is, the Duchy of Schleswig has always been outside the Imperial Diet. Because, in itself, it does not belong to the empire. The Duchy of Holstein, on the other hand, was no longer permanent in the Imperial Diet after King Christian I of Denmark announced the merger of the Duchy of Schleswig and the Duchy of Holstein in 1460. Because, the Kalmar Alliance under the control of Denmark is also a super power, so there is no need to give face to Shinra.

If the HRE were a powerful unity, Denmark would have been afraid. But now that the HRE is divided, Denmark doesn't take the HRE Emperor and the Imperial Diet seriously at all. So, in the Reichstag, there was a vacancy in the representation of the Duchy of Holstein, and the Duchy of Schleswig never joined.

Now, with the help of the Emperor, Marin needed the help of the Emperor to add the Duchy of Schleswig to the Imperial Parliament, thus creating an established fact that the Duchy of Schleswig would secede from Denmark and be incorporated into Germany. Therefore, he still has to coax his boss......

"See Your Majesty!" In order to coax his boss, Marin did not hesitate to offer his knees. In the highest interest, he paid homage to Maximilian I.

Marin doesn't have the idea of "men have gold under their knees", you know, which of those stars in his previous life didn't "kneel when he said he knelt and took off when he said he took off" at the request of the director?

In order to solve this psychological barrier, Marin often hinted to himself - I am a big star, I am acting in costume dramas, and the director forced me......

Therefore, Marin is not so reluctant to kneel......

Moreover, in his previous life, Marin's acting skills have always been great. It's a pity that Marin in his previous life was ordinary-looking, not the type of stick sissy that rotten girls like, and he couldn't stand out at all...... After loading back the dead body in a TV series that failed to be released, Marin has never had any contact with the entertainment industry again...... However, that time when he played a dead body, Marin also played a corpse to the extreme, almost making the staff mistakenly think that he was really a corpse......

"Hmph, Count Marin, what a great deal! 7,000 troops, and no commissions! ”

"Wronged, Your Majesty, I originally received a commission. However, His Holiness asked me to cooperate with him, and asked me to declare to the public that I did not receive commissions from the Holy See, in order to motivate future generations......"

"Inspiring future generations? What does it mean? "Maximilian I was a little confused.

"It's to set an example for the latecomers and work for the Holy See......" In order to satisfy the boss, Marin casually deducted a pot for his father-in-law. Fortunately, there was no one else on the side, otherwise it would have reached the ears of his father-in-law, and he would definitely have to eat and hang.

"Oh...... I see...... "Maximilian I suddenly realized, but he didn't know that he was fooled by Martha......

Marin's explanation is very perfect and reasonable, Julius II had already paid for it, but in order to encourage others to learn from Marin, "don't have money to work for the Holy See", and publicly announced that Marin didn't want money to work for the Holy See, which is entirely possible.

Moreover, in the eyes of Maximilian I, Marin was a little slippery head, and he would never do anything that was not beneficial. So, Marin said that he had received commissions, and Maximilian I had no doubts.

"By the way, Your Majesty, this is top secret. You can't spread it around, if you offend His Majesty the Pope, your coronation will be in trouble......" Marin pretended to be very nervous, looked around, and then said to Maximilian I.

Maximilian I thought about it, and it was really so. His throne as Holy Roman Emperor has not yet been crowned by the Pope. In particular, I have to kneel and lick the Pope, where do I dare to make a mistake? Therefore, he also nodded hurriedly, indicating that he understood.

"It's just...... Marin, His Majesty Julius II, was a staunch ally of Charles VIII and accompanied Charles VIII's army on an expedition to Italy. I'm afraid that His Majesty the Pope will still be involved with the French......" said Maximilian I worriedly.

After all, centralized France is already too strong, and if there is another pope who supports France de jure, then France will not be able to go to heaven?

"Your Majesty is too worried, His Majesty Julius II is not with the French all the way!" Marin affirmed.

"How do you know for sure?"

"You think, if His Majesty Julius II was with the French, then he would need to hire my army to escort him back to Rome? Wouldn't it be enough to go directly to the French army? You know, the French army is in the north of the Kingdom of Naples, there are many of them, and they are close to Rome. ”

"That's right!" Maximilian I nodded in agreement.

"I heard that in recent years, in order to gain the support of the Holy See, King Louis XII of France chose to abandon the down-and-out Archbishop of Rovere, who is now His Majesty Pope Julius II, and chose to ally with Pope Alexander VI, who was still alive at the time, and also canonized Alexander VI's illegitimate son as a duke. For this reason, His Majesty Julius II and Louis XII had fallen out, and had fled from France, just to East Friesland, where they met the courtier...... Then he received news from Rome that Alexander VI was not in good health, so he hired mercenaries to escort him back to Rome and wait for the right time......"

"I see...... Marin was so perfect and reasonable that Maximilian I had to believe it......

"By the way, Your Majesty, now the Spaniards and the French are fighting in the Kingdom of Naples, and the Spaniards have won a game, and are now preparing to launch a new attack. The Duke of Ludovico (Duke of Milan) is there for you, right? You can inform him that he can recover the Duchy of Milan......"

Unlike in history, after being reminded by Marin, Ludovico . Sforza became more cautious than he had ever been, and he had saved a few thousand men and a lot of money, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, and did not act rashly. Really, the behemoth of France is not something he can fight against......

However, this time is a good opportunity. Because, the French army was bound to be defeated. If, Ludovico. Sforza took the opportunity to take the Duchy of Milan, then, after the French army was routed by the Spanish army, it may have no place in Italy and can only retreat to the country. Otherwise, even if the French army was routed by the Spanish army and the entire Kingdom of Naples was lost, they could flee to the Duchy of Milan to recuperate.

Marin suggested at this time that Maximilian I release Ludovico. Sforza wanted this former Duke of Milan to stab the French in the back and make the layout of the French in Italy completely collapse.

The reason why Marin did this was because the Florentine Republic, which Marin's army was about to attack, was backed by the French. Only when the French withdrew from Italy, the 7,000 troops under Marin had the confidence to attack the Republic of Florence and then exchange it for the Bishopric of Münster. Otherwise, the French are not finished, and if they send people to rescue the Florentine Republic, the 7,000 men of Marina will be somewhat insufficient......

Maximilian I greatly appreciated Marin's plan and expressed his support for Ludovico as soon as he returned. Sforza fought back to the Duchy of Milan and dealt a heavy blow to the French army from behind.

As for the previous bit of unhappiness, it has long been forgotten by Maximilian I. Moreover, in response to Marin's request to annex the Duchy of Schleswig to the Holy Roman Empire, Maximilian I also agreed and expressed his full support. Although, even if the Duchy of Schleswig was incorporated into the HRE Empire, it was not under the jurisdiction of Maximilian I. However, at least nominally belonging to the emperor, this was not a bad thing for Maximilian I......
