After the Jutland problem was resolved, the accounts between Marin and Denmark were settled. As for the indemnity of 500,000 gold coins, it will take 5 years to repay. Moreover, Marin did not intend to push Denmark too hard. If necessary, Marlin can also relax the repayment time.

Why is Marin so tolerant of Denmark? And allow the other side to take a lot of people from Jutland? In addition to the reason for sending the literate Danes away, Marin had other considerations.

What are the considerations? It's because Marin is on the lookout for Sweden......

Marin was well versed in history, and he knew that Denmark would have declined without his intervention. Sweden, on the other hand, rose to become the hegemon of Northern Europe, and more than 100 years later, in the Thirty Years' War, suddenly rose to prominence and entered the German region.

After the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, the newly rising Sweden actually obtained the Archbishopric of Bremen, the Episcopal State of Felden and the Duchy of Pomerania as "spoils......

You must know that in history, Sweden fought with Denmark for decades before finally gaining independence. And now, thanks to Marin's intervention, Sweden gained its independence ahead of schedule. Denmark, on the other hand, was crippled by Marin.

Without Danish suppression, Marin feared that Sweden would rise early and become the Nordic hegemon. Northern Europe is so small, and when Sweden becomes stronger, it is easy to infringe on Marin's interests.

So, from the moment the contract was signed, Marin's mind changed dramatically. Now Marin already has the idea of restricting Sweden.

During this period, Sweden did not only own Sweden, but also included Finland. Moreover, demographically, Sweden also surpasses Denmark in terms of population. The Kingdom of Sweden (including Finland) currently has about 850,000 people and a vast land area, including Sweden and Finland south of the Arctic Circle. Denmark, after losing Jutland, has only 350,000 people in its own country and 240,000 in Norway, adding up to less than 600,000 people.

Among them, Sweden's most elite southern region has historically been controlled by the Danes. Originally, it was not until after the Thirty Years' War that Sweden completely rose and took back the southern part of Sweden. Previously, southern Sweden was suitable for agriculture and was controlled by Denmark for a long time.

But because of Marin's intervention, Denmark now lost the southern part of Sweden early and began to decline early. Sweden, on the other hand, gained its independence ahead of schedule and is likely to rise early.

Marin now regrets the early development of the Fayilun copper mine, even if Sweden only gets half of the benefits, it will be Sweden's rapid development. At the very least, the proceeds from the Faylon copper mine were enough for Sweden to form a strong army.

What can Sweden do when it becomes stronger? Expansion, of course. To the east is the fierce Maozi, and to the south are Poland and Lithuania, which have not yet declined...... It's hard to mess with anyone......

Then, the most realistic target for expansion is Denmark, which has been crippled...... Whether it is the Kingdom of Norway, which is connected to Sweden, or the Danish mainland of Zealand, it seems that they are good targets for expansion......

Moreover, the Kingdom of Sweden is different from Marin, who is a German prince and is subject to many constraints and cannot fire at full power. And Sweden, because it is located in Northern Europe, others are beyond its reach, if it is willful and engages Norway, others will not be able to interfere. Even if the Danish mainland Zealand is taken, others will not be able to reach it. Unless they reach Jutland, the land states will have the ability to intervene...... But Jutland is Marin's territory, and the Swedes will not die......

But the problem is that Marin is now an ally of Sweden. If Sweden expands and fights Denmark, Marin will not only not be able to object, but may have to cooperate......

Therefore, Marin intends to find an opportunity to dissolve the Quadripartite Alliance, which he had formed before, including himself, Lübeck, Hamburg and Sweden. In this way, he will not become the protector of Sweden. And if Denmark wants to move Sweden, it has no scruples.

Don't look at Denmark being crippled by itself, but the strength of others is still there. At least, the Swedish army was mostly captured, not killed. As long as it is redeemed, it is still very combative.

Sweden, on the other hand, has more than 10,000 soldiers to die, and it is at a disadvantage in the face of the heart disease trained by more than 10,000 Danish veterans and nearly 20,000 Swiss.

Of course, because of the defeat reparations, Denmark could not afford to raise so many troops for a long time, and it would be good to maintain 10,000 people.

So, in a short period of time, it will definitely be Sweden that has the upper hand. But as long as Denmark relieves itself, it will still be able to suppress Sweden for a while. Moreover, Denmark also has an ally of the Electorate of Brandenburg. Although Joakim I was a little dissatisfied with being dragged into the water by his father-in-law, if there was really a war between Denmark and Sweden, the chances of the Electorate of Brandenburg sending troops to help Denmark were still very high, and the chances of winning were very high.

However, the premise of all this is that Marin does not care about Sweden......

Marin, of course, didn't want to care about Sweden anymore, and before uniting Sweden, it was to fight Denmark. Now that Denmark has been crippled, who wants to help Sweden, the lion cub?

Therefore, after Marin returns, he plans to dissolve this Quadripartite Alliance, which has a strong military purpose, in the name of "maintaining peace".

Of course, Marin actually only wants to kick Sweden out, and doesn't want to part with Lübeck and Hamburg yet. Because, the imperial cities led by Lübeck and Hamburg are also very important political resources, and they should not be used in vain.

Therefore, after the dissolution of the "Quadripartite Alliance", Marin would re-sign commercial and political alliances with Lübeck and Hamburg in the name of commercial needs, and continue the alliance. It's just that there is no place for Sweden in this covenant......

In this way, Denmark and Sweden will tear apart in the future, and Marin will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Even, depending on who is stronger, you can also secretly help the weaker side.

Later, Marin was a Nordic churner, specializing in trick-or-treating Denmark and Sweden. Denmark had the upper hand, and Marin supported Denmark. Sweden had the upper hand, and Marin supported Sweden...... In short, let these two countries fight endlessly until they are old, and don't distinguish the winner or loser......

Moreover, Marin felt that Sweden was now too advantageous, and it was better for the Danes to occupy southern Sweden and Gotland, so that they would have the capital to continue to compete with Sweden. Otherwise, Sweden will develop and develop, and it will be easy to hold Denmark down.

Before sending King Hans of Denmark away, Marin quietly told Hans of his plan to maintain neutrality between Denmark and Sweden. King Hans was astonished and overjoyed. This meant that once Denmark had recovered from the reparations difficulties, it would be able to find a way to regain control of southern Sweden. And having taken control of the fertile areas of southern Sweden, the losses in Jutland can be fully compensated. You know, the southern part of Sweden is much larger than Denmark itself. Moreover, it is only separated from Copenhagen by the Øresund Strait, which is relatively easy to manage, and it is easier to manage than Norway.

Moreover, the Danish control of southern Sweden meant that the Swedes lost their warm and fertile land, and the relationship between the two would inevitably affect the development of Sweden. In this way, it will not be so easy for the Swedes to rise...... 8)
