Marin shook his head secretly, feeling very sorry in his heart. You know, that's two kingdoms! Not to mention the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Hungary is one of the great powers in Europe. This is because Transylvania, including Transylvania, covers an area of almost 200,000 square kilometers, which is larger than Austria and the Netherlands combined. Moreover, there are still 4 million people. Its only drawback is probably that it is at the forefront of the war in the face of the Turkish threat.

In addition to the Kingdom of Hungary, there was also the mighty Kingdom of Bohemia, as well as the Duchy of Silesia, and the region of Moravia, all of which were ruled by Vladislas II.

In other words, compared to the Austro-Hungarian Empire before World War I, there was only one Austria behind the two. Even, because most of the Duchy of Silesia did not belong to the Austro-Hungarian Empire in later generations, the territory of Vladislas II today is no less than that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in later generations.

Giving such a large territory to Austria, Marin's heart was dripping with blood. However, he doesn't have a suitable heir to take over. He had only one son, Caesar, who was old enough to marry Princess Anna, and his second son, William, was still very young. Moreover, even if she did not intervene, Princess Anna would marry Ferdinand.

Speaking of which, it is in Marin's interest that the Habsburgs are divided into two powerful forces. But only if the Habsburgs withstood the wave of attacks from the princes and the Turks.

If Marin's diplomatic exit had been much better than it is now, he would have allowed Ferdinand and Anna to marry, and then split the Habsburgs into two powerful branches.

But Marin's own situation is also very bad, so he needs an MT to help pull the hatred and mock the whole of Germany for him. Even, the crowd ridiculed France. Moreover, it is also responsible for fending off Turkish attacks. Then, the Beihai Kingdom hid behind and buried its head in development.

So, this is very demanding of the Habsburgs. If it were divided into two countries, then Austria, as the main vein, might not be willing to mobilize all the resources to help Ferdinand resist the pressure of Turkey. When the time comes, if Turkey defeats Hungary and Bohemia, then things will be a little bigger.

It would be different if the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia were all under the main line of the Habsburgs. At that time, the Habsburgs would have access to the resources of the entire territory. Austria could be used to help against Turkey, and Hungary and Bohemia could be used against the French and German princes.

The most important thing is that the tree is very windy!

Just imagine, the Habsburgs, who owned Austria, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and then annexed the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia, two large countries with crowns, could it not arouse the eyes of the whole of Europe?

When the time comes, the hatred of all Europe will be pulled over by the Habsburgs, and it will be much easier for itself. And, indeed, England was more important to Marin than Hungary and Bohemia. After all, England choked Germany's sea passage to the Atlantic, and if it did not annex England and was subject to others, it would repeat the tragedy of Germany in later generations.

Marin remembered that the Turkish Suleiman the Magnificent was 22 years old and would succeed to the throne in a few years and launch an all-out attack on Europe. When the time came, Lajos II, the son of Vladislas II, was likely to have braided hair. Austria then easily won the two great powers of Hungary and Bohemia. It will only be a few years later, but from then on, the Habsburgs will probably be busy fending off the Turkish offensive. Without the financial support of the Spanish Empire, the Habsburgs would have fallen behind. At that time, when they were busy cleaning up the princes of northern Germany, the Habsburgs did not dare to oppose it. Because, Marin can conclude that they will need their own help when the time comes.

In the end, the Habsburgs, caught between Turkey and France, may have to agree to occupy Little Germany and share the world equally with Austria. Otherwise, as long as you change your position, Austria will collapse.

Even, Marin thought that if possible, he could exchange the Netherlands for a certain piece of territory in the south in the future, so that the entire Netherlands would become the territory of the North Sea Kingdom. However, this would have to be a direct border with France...... It's not safe......

In the secret room, Marin's thoughts had spread and he began to be stunned......

At this time, Maximilian I suddenly couldn't help but ask:

"Marin, I remember that you opened the Häagen-Dazs ice cream chain, right? Do you want to make all the noble ladies in Europe infertile? ”

Yes, what Marin whispered to Maximilian I just now is the secret of being infertile after eating too much ice cream......

Marin's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a muffled voice:

"How can I be so yin? I'm a victim too, okay? At the beginning, my wife Angela was also because she loved ice cream, and after giving birth to Caesar, she was infertile for many years. It wasn't until I later brought in a court doctor from the Ming Empire in the far east that I discovered this problem. Then, there was the birth of William......"

Maximilian I thought about it, and really. Marin's wife seemed to have given birth to her second child, William, after leaving Caesar. Therefore, Marin himself is higher than ice cream, and he is definitely inadvertently pitting himself.

"Then why don't you make this risk public?" The Emperor asked.

Marin asked meaningfully:

"So, Your Majesty, are you going to make this matter public?"

Maximilian I thought for a moment, finally shook his head, and said:

"Although I think it's immoral, as an emperor, keeping a secret is indeed the best choice."

"Yes, there are too many European princes. If many of them die without heirs, it will help the unification of Germany. Your Majesty, it will be helpful for you to reclaim the territory of those vassal states......" Marin smiled inexplicably in his eyes.

But Maximilian I's eyes lit up, and then he asked Marin:

"So, can you teach my chef how to make that delicious ice cream from the Häagen-Dazs chain?"

Marin was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"What? Your Majesty has figured it out and wants to open an ice cream parlor on the enemy's territory? ”

didn't think about it, the emperor didn't think about this at all:

"I just wanted to give my granddaughter Marie a cook who was good at making ice cream......" Maximilian I said lightly, a cruel decision. For the sake of the future of the Habsburgs, he was planning to sacrifice the future of his granddaughter.

However, the sacrifice is gentle, and there is no pain in between. On the contrary, his granddaughter will love this life of eating ice cream every day. So, it's a sweet and vicious decision......

A hint of pain flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he strengthened his resolve at the thought of the future of his family......
