In Zaragoza, the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon, Spain, King Juan III of Castile, who had just returned from a visit to the North Sea Kingdom and the Netherlands, was convincing his father, King Ferdinand II of Aragon.

Since the death of Queen Isabella I, Ferdinand II did not remain single, but found a new queen the following year, Germani of Fuis. And this Queen Germani, born in 1488, is 10 years younger than Juan III, and is only 20 years old this year.

Juan III was very embarrassed by his stepmother, who was ten years younger than him. Nima, she is young enough. However, this stepmother is even younger...... And his father, King Ferdinand II, is 56 years old......

Therefore, Juan III tried to avoid contact with his stepmother, who was younger than him, so as not to embarrass both parties. And Ferdinand II also knew this, so he never took Queen Germanie to Toledo, the capital of the Kingdom of Castile, but only left her in Zaragoza to avoid embarrassment.

Moreover, Ferdinand II has also been a "young man talking about juvenile madness" recently, concentrating on staying in Zaragoza and Queen Germani, who is younger than any of his children, busy making villains together, planning to make a younger brother or sister for his son Juan III, especially a younger brother......

The fact that Juan III almost died of illness ten years ago left a huge psychological shadow on Ferdinand II. Ferdinand II had one son, Juan III, and if the only son died, the Trastra Stalamara dynasty in Aragon would be extinct.

Therefore, this incident reminded Ferdinand II that one son is too unsafe, and it is better to have more sons. Ferdinand II had no affection for those daughters. Even, for Princess Catherine's death, he can endure it. But for his only son, Juan III, Ferdinand II still loved him very much.

Originally, Ferdinand II was a very power-hungry man. However, since his son Juan III ascended the throne as King of Castile, although he still bears the name of regent, he gradually does not go to Toledo much. Of course, Juan III's approach also made him very happy - Juan III still respected him as a father very much, and consulted him on many things. So, in the past two years, Ferdinand II has gradually gone to Tole, but has been busy making villains with the young Queen Germane.

In fact, Juan III now has a son with Princess Margaret of Austria. Moreover, the son's name is coincidental - also called Marin...... However, just as Juan is John's Spanish name (Charles of Charles V, Carlos in Spanish), Juan III's son is called Marion in Spanish. This is the name that Juan III specially gave his son in honor of Marin's life-saving grace. Moreover, Juan III thought that Marin's luck was too rebellious, and he actually mixed up from a wandering knight to the Grand Duke. Therefore, giving yourself the name of your son may bring good luck......

……

To get back to the point, Juan III came to Zaragoza this time to follow Marin's advice and wanted to enter Morocco. In terms of national strength, the Kingdom of Castile is actually stronger than the Kingdom of Aragon. However, the Kingdom of Castile is now lacking top players. And Spain's most famous famous player Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba, although originally an officer in the Kingdom of Colora, has not been returned since 1495, when he was seconded to the Italian battlefield by Ferdinand II. Now, Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba was also garrisoned by the Kingdom of Naples under the control of the Kingdom of Aragon.

Juan III knew that the destruction of the Kingdom of Morocco required not only a strong army, but also reliable generals who could command it to victory. Obviously, the most famous player in Spain right now is Gonzalo. Morality. Cordoba. So, Juan III came to ask Ferdinand II for Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba is coming. In addition, he also hoped that the Kingdom of Aragon would contribute part of the army. After all, it would be difficult for the Kingdom of Castile to eliminate Morocco alone.

Unlike the Kingdom of Castile, the Kingdom of Aragon has been actively involved in the struggle for Italian hegemony over the years. Therefore, in the battle, the Kingdom of Aragon produced a number of outstanding officers. These officers played a huge role in the victory of the Aragonese army over the French and also had a wealth of combat experience. Unlike the officers of the Kingdom of Castile, they had not experienced war since the destruction of the Kingdom of Granada in 1492.

Marin had given Juan III the idea of asking Ferdinand II for Gonzalo. Morality. Córdoba, along with a group of experienced Aragonese officers, was used in the national war against Morocco. After all, this time Juan III planned to send tens of thousands of troops to annex the Kingdom of Morocco in one fell swoop.

……

"What, you want Gonzalo?" Ferdinand II frowned, then continued:

"However, the Italian side is also inseparable from Gonzalo. You know, the French are still very good. If there are no famous players in charge, I am afraid that the French will fight back......"

In Ferdinand II's mind, the rich kingdom of Naples was very important. Gonzalo was over there, and he could rest assured.

Juan III confidently said:

"Please don't worry, my father. I think that now, the French have no time to take care of Italy! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ferdinand II frowned.

Juan III had communicated with Marin about this, and his wife, Margaret of Austria, was also a shrewd strong woman and also helped him analyze it. So, he confidently said:

"Father, you should know about the Battle of the English Channel the year before last, right?"

Ferdinand II naturally nodded, nonsense, who doesn't know this classic naval battle?

Juan III nodded and continued:

"In that naval battle, the French lost too much supplies, and even owed a lot of debts for it. Therefore, I don't think France has had enough money to do things in Italy in the past two years...... In addition, the French have to support Switzerland against the affairs of the Habsburgs......"

"In addition, I recently heard that King James IV of Scotland was recently attacked and killed. I think the French will have to turn their attention to Scotland. After all, Scotland is a traditional ally of France, and the French cannot afford to watch their traditional allies easily annexed by their sworn enemy, England......"

After thinking about it, Ferdinand II felt that Juan III's idea made sense. France is now in a mess and has to intervene in the affairs of Switzerland and Scotland, and it is really not enough to send troops to Italy. In this way, the Kingdom of Naples in Italy is not very dangerous now......

Moreover, the Mushket musket, which is now being popularized in the Spanish army, is absolutely no problem for defending the city.

Eventually, Ferdinand II relented:

"Okay, I agree to let General Gonzalo help you attack Morocco, and in addition, the Kingdom of Aragon can also send 10,000 troops to assist in this attack on Morocco!"

"Yes, thank you, father!" Juan III kissed Ferdinand II excitedly, and then hurried back to Toledo to arrange everything...... Let's say, recruit him tens of thousands of troops......
