This three-step strategy is much more secure than Cortez's approach in the original history. Historically, Cortez originally sent troops completely with enthusiasm. After arriving in the Aztec Empire, he was also lucky, and was mistaken for a messenger of the "White God", and was also treated as a guest. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the barbarians of the Aztec Empire.

As for the enemies who later united those Aztec Empires, it was also by mistake, who told him to have a local lover named Marina. There is a local Erwuzai and the Belt and Road Party, so it is naturally much more convenient to do things.

All in all, Cortez is a lucky man who ran to Mexico recklessly with his enthusiasm, but made a meritorious contribution by mistake.

And then that Pizarro was probably stimulated by Cortez's shit. After all, Cortés later mixed up with the high position of the marquis. Before the conquest of Mexico, Cortés was nothing more than an aristocratic son with no right of inheritance. Of course, Pizarro also took the risk and succeeded......

Switching to Marin's three-step strategy is much more secure than Cortez's. After all, in the art of war - "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles". As a scheming monarch, Marin doesn't put his hopes in luck, and it's better to be on the safe side.

Moreover, in the early days, it was also a clever move to use the Aztecs themselves to mine silver. Marin's provision of technologically advanced smelting furnaces and the assistance of experts in the exploration of mines would certainly greatly increase the Aztec Empire's silver production.

However, the Aztecs were more ignorant after all, similar to Lao Hei. Even if they had obtained a large amount of silver, Marin could easily exchange it from the Aztecs for cheap goods, such as glass beads. Then, bring it back to Europe and solve the problem of money shortage.

This method was used by Westerners in later generations. They take advantage of the scissors gap to purchase minerals cheaply from the old black in Africa. Then, they sell industrial products at high prices to make huge profits. It's a pity that in later generations, there was a demonic country like Huaxia, and a spoiler who sold it when he gave money. Then, European and American industries were particularly unlucky. Your product sells for $10, right? Huaxia sells for $1. Lao Hei was already poor, so of course he bought a bargain...... Therefore, it is not without reason that later generations of Europeans and Americans hate China. Because, their jobs have been smashed......

In other words, if there were no spoilers, Marin could have used the scissors to make use of the scissors, or a more perverted trick, to buy a large amount of silver from the Aztecs at a low price. Then, it was used to mint money and use it in trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, wait until the Aztecs feel wrong and want more, and then send troops to take Mexico in one fell swoop. By that time, Marin had already completed its infiltration of much of Mexico. The army also has specific goals, and it will never run around like a fly without a head.

This trick was learned by Marin from the little devil. Although it is said that Marin is more hostile to the little devils, I have to say that the little devils did make a lot of preparations for the invasion of China back then. For example, many spies were sent to survey and map the territory of Huaxia to prepare for the future invasion of China.

Marin's plan was the same—he sent engineers to guide the Aztecs in developing silver mines, and then to expand the trade. In this way, a large number of merchants would enter the territory of the Aztec Empire. Marin would send spies dressed as merchants to roam around the Aztec Empire, mapping maps and marking the terrain. Then, when the war of conquest begins, the army can quickly move on to important targets.

In fact, this trick could be used not only for the Aztec Empire, but also for the Inca Empire. As long as you are well prepared, you can go in one fell swoop when the time comes......

……

The reason why Marin changed his mind and did not immediately send troops to push Mexico was because he was dissuaded by Kohler. Kohler asks Marin – what are you occupying Mexico for?

Marin naturally said that it was for silver, but Kohler asked - if the other party took the initiative to mine silver and exchange the silver for you at a low price, why did he want to conquer it violently? In addition, if the Aztec Empire is really defeated, then it is called a pit......

If the Aztec Empire was really defeated, it would definitely not be able to hide it. When the time comes, the news of Mexico's production of silver will be difficult to keep.

At that time, it was troublesome, and if Marin was not well prepared, Spain and Portugal would definitely rush in and fight with Marin for turf. What the? Agreement, you say? This thing can be torn up at any time, as long as the stakes are big enough......

Therefore, Marin was frightened by these words......

Yes, if the Aztec Empire is really captured, it is definitely impossible to hide it. When the time comes, Mexico, the land of silver, will be exposed to the world. Then, Mexico's abundance of silver is certainly not enough to contain the fire. Then, Spain and Portugal certainly couldn't help it. As for other countries - few are good......

Therefore, Marin resisted the temptation to annex Mexico now, and instead supported the Aztec Empire to vigorously develop silver mines. Then, trade it with yourself.

Moreover, the late annexation of Mexico is not easy to notice. When France and Spain were torn apart on a large scale and attracted the attention of all Europe, Marin could quietly send people to engage in the Aztec Empire. Because, everyone's attention is attracted away......

……

And now, the most important thing for Marin is not to send troops to annex Mexico, but to develop the navy in full force. For example, vigorously build ships and recruit more sailors. When you can single-handedly sweep away the warships that others covet Mexico, you can "make an official announcement". At that time, even if someone was red-eyed, it was useless. Because, Marin's strength can already covet those challengers......

Another point is the need to cover the silver produced in Mexico. Therefore, Marlin needed to "fabricate" another source of silver. For example, Marin has long thought about Japan......

Japan is indeed a source of silver, and it is far away in the eastern Far East. At the beginning, Marin signed a treaty stipulating that Japan was a colony of the North Sea Kingdom.

If Marin had used the excuse that all this silver was made in Japan, it would not be a big problem. Not to mention that many countries do not have routes to Japan, and even if they do, it is difficult to put their strength into the Far East.

Marin would then be able to buy silver from Mexico at a low price while falsely claiming that "all this silver is made in Japan." In this way, the eyes of the world are turned to the East. Marin, on the other hand, can hide in the Americas and make a fortune quietly......

Moreover, Japan does not complain about carrying this pot. Because, Japan is indeed rich in silver......
