Of course, those are just plans in Marin's heart, and it remains to be said whether the future will be successful. But if Marin dared to rob England with Louis XII, he would inevitably offend France to death. Therefore, Marin must be prepared for the attack of the French army.

In addition to fighting the French, Marin also had to guard against the German princes joining forces with the French. In that case, Marin will be attacked on his back.

Therefore, Marin intends to build a large number of fortifications from now on, in the areas under his control and in the border areas of other princes, using cement. In the event of a war with France, it was necessary to use those fortifications to withstand attacks from the princes.

In order to ensure that the battle on both fronts would not fail, Marin not only needed to trim a large number of fortifications, but also needed to have enough troops to resist the invasion of foreign enemies.

According to estimates, if the French attacked, there would certainly be no less than 50,000 troops, and possibly more. Because, if there is less, you may be defeated.

On the side of the German princes, it is estimated that they can also gather tens of thousands of troops - there are still many German princes who are at odds with France, otherwise, when Charles V ran for the elector, King François I of France would not have become his main rival.

In this way, Marin may face hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. Moreover, these hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, musketeers will definitely not be less. Because, since Marin defeated the powerful Bossa coalition army, many German princes have promoted the use of arquebuses in their own armies. The size of the family may be small, but when the princes' forces are gathered, it will be considerable.

And to fight against such a formidable enemy, Marin needs at least fifty or sixty thousand troops, divided into two parts......

In addition, to control England, it is estimated that it will take 20,000 or 30,000 troops, otherwise, it will not be able to suppress the monkeys in England......

Marin was taken aback by this calculation - if he wanted to win the war with the French and firmly control England, it was estimated that nearly 100,000 troops would be needed......

"Oh my God, with so many troops, the daily consumption of military rations is an astronomical amount, not to mention the overall military expenditure! The more money you make, the more you find that there are more and more places to spend money! ”

Originally, Marin planned to draw the main force of the native army to participate in the English Civil War. However, now Marin has changed his mind - he is ready to recruit another 10,000 troops in England......

Who to send to recruit? Marin had already thought of a candidate - Sivarg, the former general of the West Friesian aristocratic republic......

After all the eight nobles of West Frisland were killed, Sivag survived and went into hiding. When Marin's squad returned to Korea and captured West Friesland, Sivag escaped and took refuge in Marin.

Marin knew Sivarg and had entertained Sivag for a long time. And after all eight masters died, Siwag had no support, and simply took refuge in Marin.

It just so happened that Marin needed to calm the situation in West Friesland, and it would be best to send someone like Si Wag who was more prestigious in West Friesland to pacify the locals.

Over the course of a few months, Sivag worked diligently to help Marin complete his control and pacification of West Frisland.

Now, Marin needed to recruit another 10,000 troops in England, and naturally needed a large number of Frisians to control that force. After all, the Frisians were their own people, and the English were not. They don't have a sense of belonging to themselves, let them lead themselves, and it's easy for them to get into trouble.

Originally, the most suitable candidate for recruitment was Saqqara, who had achieved great success in England. However, Marin was not at ease with letting Saqqara have too many troops at his disposal. Letting Saqqara master a legion of tens of thousands of people is already the limit of what Marin can tolerate. What if Saqqara had taken control of an army of 20,000 and wanted to stand on his own feet in England?

Therefore, Marin's principle is that the senior generals of the army should not be too heavy. Otherwise, the Lord will be troubled......

Even Schwartz, who Marin trusted the most, Marin usually did not let him come into contact with the army, but kept him in Aurich. In peacetime, the 40,000-strong army was led by their respective commanders. And these four army commanders all have different origins. Moreover, they are not very close to each other. In normal times, without Marin's orders, Schwartz could not move them. Only when the war began, Schwartz, as deputy commander, had overall command.

Sivag was a veteran general, and since he was a Frisian, he could communicate in Frisian and English. It was fitting that he should be put in command of a new English legion.

Moreover, Sivag itself has quite a few old ministries in West Frisland. He could have taken this group of old troops with him to take over the 10,000 English recruits.

As for the question of whether Sivag would defect, Marin was not worried. Because, even if he wants to rebel, he can't make waves. After all, he only has 10,000 recruits, while Marin has 40,000 veterans......

Of course, fearing that Siwag's level of training of recruits was not up to par, Marin decided to have Saqqara send a group of officers to help Sivarg train the 10,000 English recruits. At the same time, Sivag and his men also need to learn Saqqara's new training methods and tactics. When the training is complete, the instructors supported by Saqqara return to their headquarters, and Sivag's men take over the army.

This time to send troops to England, Marin intended to send only Saqqara's legions and the First Army to fight. Coupled with Sivag's newly trained 10,000 English mercenaries and Edward's more than 10,000 men, it was definitely enough to beat Henry VII to the ground......

The first legion, an old elite unit, was sent because he was afraid that Saqqara's legion and Sivarg's legion would lack combat experience. With the First Legion pressing, Henry VII couldn't turn over.

As for Sivarg's recruits, it is completely possible for them to practice while fighting and improving their combat experience.

At the moment, the north of England is under starvation, with the exception of Newcastle, which is controlled by Marin, where order is still good, and thousands of people have died of starvation. In addition, most of the refugees have gone south and are now scourging the central counties.

And several counties in the middle of England have also become miserable because of the influx of refugees and the rush for food. Many people in the central counties were also forced to starve...... In order to survive, many hungry people have joined the bandit group and grabbed food everywhere to eat. And those who have been robbed of food will either starve to death, flee the famine, or become robbers......

Now, Marin can easily recruit tens of thousands of troops in a few counties in central England by sending a boat to haul some grain. And it's the kind you choose......

In this regard, Marin had secretly sent people to contact Koster and Mariech, who were the chief and deputy leaders of the "Robin Hood Thieves" in Nottinghamshire, and asked them to send someone to contact and inform the refugee groups, so that they could go to the banks of the Humber River on the border between Lincolnshire and Yorkshire to be selected and receive food.

The two of them were well informed when they were in trouble in the middle of England. Otherwise, if Marin rashly sent people, not many people would know about the recruitment...... After all, in order not to arouse the alarm of Henry VII, this recruitment needs to be carried out secretly and not with great fanfare......

Once recruited, the 10,000 recruits will be deployed and trained directly in Yorkshire, on the north bank of the Humber River. Then, when Marin's First Army and Saqqara's Legion arrived in England, they returned to fight together......

There is chaos in the north and midlands of England at the moment, with thieves rampant. The 10,000 recruits of Sivag can train while exterminating those thieves who do not belong to Marin's secret support, and they can also practice their hands. At the same time, it can also brush up a wave of prestige among local residents......
