At this time, the alliance of princes had completely given up the plan to live in peace with the Habsburgs, but decided to unite with France and cripple the Habsburgs at one time. In this way, it can be done once and for all.

The problem was that they could not defeat the Habsburg army alone. Without the support of the French, they could not stand alone. And if the French fully supported them, they would indeed be able to defeat the Habsburgs. After all, the war potential of the French was enormous. Moreover, coincidentally, Spain, an important ally of the Habsburgs, was busy "hiding and seeking" with the Moroccan rebels, and a large number of troops were trapped in Morocco and could not be transferred.

After all, the Moroccan Wattas dynasty did not perish. If Spain withdraws its troops at this time, it will be tantamount to losing all its previous efforts.

In addition, the North Sea States, another powerful ally of the Habsburgs, were powerless to support them because of Marin's "disappearance".

Taking advantage of this opportunity, if the alliance of princes can unite with the main force of France, it can indeed cripple the Habsburg family, so that the Habsburg family will not be able to slow down for decades.

However, the self-confident alliance of princes was hit in the face - Louis XII actually refused to cooperate and gave up this great opportunity......

……

In fact, Louis XII had his own considerations. The Spanish army fell into Morocco, which was an opportunity to cripple the Habsburgs. But if you think about it from another angle, isn't it a good opportunity for France to invade Italy?

More than half of Spain's troops are currently trapped in Morocco, and on the Italian side, there are naturally insufficient troops. If the French take advantage of this opportunity and suddenly move south to Italy, they will naturally have an advantage.

As for the conflict in Switzerland, Louis XII believed that it would be in the best interest of France for the two sides to confront each other. With the alliance of princes in the way, the Habsburgs would certainly not be able to draw troops to support the Italian battlefield.

In this way, what the French had to do was to send a large army and drive straight to the Kingdom of Naples......

Even, in order to annex the volcanic kingdom of Naples, France intended to compromise with Venice......

How to compromise? It is to give up the complete annexation of the Duchy of Milan!

Previously, the route of the French invasion of Italy was to annex the Duchy of Milan and then move south to attack the Kingdom of Naples.

But this time Louis XII decided to do the opposite—he planned to unite with Venice first and make it look like he would annex the Duchy of Milan. The Venetian army then remained outside Milan to confront the Duchy of Milan. The main force of the French army, on the other hand, moved quickly southward and occupied the Kingdom of Naples before the Spaniards could react......

The Spaniards had limited military strength in the Kingdom of Naples at this time. Morality. Nor is there such a big player as Córdoba. As long as the French move quickly, they can quickly occupy the entire kingdom of Naples.

By the time the Spaniards reacted, the French army had already taken control of the entire Kingdom of Naples......

……

In addition, Louis XII planned to change his tactics - not to fight the Spaniards in the field, but to defend the city......

The Marin phalanx (Spanish phalanx), "invented" by Marin, was now popular in the Spanish army, which was very capable of field warfare and even somewhat restrained French knights.

Therefore, Louis XII thought that it was not very cost-effective to fight the Spaniards in the field. There are many knights in France, and they can touch up to 20,000 knights. A direct assault on the Spaniards' musket formation would have caused heavy losses.

However, if these knights were to guard the city and fortress with infantry, they were also very strong. A horseless knight is still a master of work. Half of the ship's plate armor suppressed the ordinary infantry at the head of the city.

And with the blocking of the city walls, the muskets of the Spaniards had no advantage. After all, the muskets of this era could aim at a distance of only forty or fifty meters, and no further away would be useless. Louis XII intended for the French knights to hide behind the battlements in the city walls and cut down whoever climbed up...... In this way, the Spaniards will definitely be helpless......

In addition, for the enemy's tactics of blowing up the door, the French also prepared an iron gate and waited for the Spaniards to attack......

……

Under such circumstances, France certainly does not have the energy to take care of Swiss affairs anymore. However, Louis XII was also kind and did not withdraw the elite of the French army in the "Swiss Resistance". If those men were withdrawn, Frenzberg would be able to deal with the coalition of princes with all his might......

And in the case of France's reluctance to increase its troops, there was a temporary equilibrium on the Swiss plateau - the princes' coalition did not have the full support of the army, and did not dare to attack rashly; The "Swiss Resistance", which was dominated by the elite of the French army, also suspended the offensive due to French inaction; And Frenzberg's army, because it needs to absorb and absorb those newly recruited mercenaries and the mercenaries recruited after the previous capture, is unable to provoke two enemies in a short time...... Therefore, the three forces, for the time being, have suspended hostilities, and they are staring at each other there......

……

Compared with the calm in the south, the North Sea Country by the North Sea has set off a monstrous wave - the rumored Grand Duke of the North Sea Kingdom, Marin, who died in a shipwreck, actually returned to Emden alive......

According to eyewitnesses, their Grand Duke came back in a very messy state - his hair was uncut, his beard was unshaven (Marin had deliberately kept it long), and his whole body was messy and dirty......

Moreover, when I landed on the shore, it seemed that my legs were a little weak - I was scared. After all, before landing, Marin had experienced a shipwreck......

Therefore, Marin didn't have to pretend, and directly played the embarrassed appearance when he landed on the shore.

……

After Marin landed, the city of Emden suddenly became lively. Many people's originally panicked mentality calmed down instantly. Because, they know - the god of war is back......

The title of "God of War" is a title spontaneously given to Marin by the people of the Beihai Kingdom. Mainly because, since Marin became the Earl of East Friesland, he has won every battle, and he seems to have never worshipped. The only mistake was when Dietmarshin was captured alive because of his arrogance. But immediately afterward, Dietmarshin announced the conditional surrender of Marin, so it was not a defeat, it could only be said that there was no victory.

Therefore, Marin, who is almost invincible, is naturally called the "God of War" by the people of Beihai Country. Although, this god of war is obscene, shameless and cunning, not so decent......

……

When the news of Marin's return alive reached Aurich, Angela immediately drove to meet him with little Caesar. And Schwartz and other regents also rushed to greet them. Of course, Angela and Schwartz and others all knew the inside story, so they weren't excited at all. It's just that, for the sake of political needs, they all pretended to be "I'm excited......

It's just little Caesar, that's really exciting......

Caesar, who is only 10 years old, has experienced a lot of ups and downs this year, which is really exciting......

Earlier, he learned that his "omnipotent" father had been shipwrecked and had little chance of surviving...... This caused him to have a nervous breakdown at one point.

After a period of despair, Caesar remembered Marin's instructions before he set out. He realized that he, a little man, should take on the responsibility of the country and his family......

As a result, Caesar, who used to play crazy with his younger brother all over the palace all day long, is gone. In his place is a little Caesar who studies hard, strives to grow, and strives to be a qualified heir to the Grand Duke. Caesar hadn't laughed for months since learning the sad news of his father's "death......

So, when he saw that his father, Marin, who had been thinking about it day and night, really appeared in front of him, Caesar, who was extremely excited, cried and laughed......
