The process of competing for hegemony in Europe is really a very complicated process. Because, in the struggle for hegemony in Europe, you must not only have strength, but also strong diplomatic skills. Otherwise, no matter how powerful a country is, it will not be able to stand up to a group fight. This is especially true in Germany.

As powerful as Charles V, he was also suppressed by the whole of Europe uniting together. In order to fight Charles V, the French even did not hesitate to collude with the infidels of Turkey. Marin could not compare himself to Charles V, who owned both the Spanish Empire and the HRE throne, at least not for now. So, he chose to keep a low profile.

For now, the tiny North Sea nation wants to swallow the whole of America, which is tantamount to a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Therefore, Marin does not want to meet competitors, especially those like Spain and Portugal.

Therefore, Marin went to great lengths to support Venice and trick the Venetians into digging the Suez Canal. In this way, once the Venetian Canal is successfully dug, then the main battlefield of the whole of Europe will be transferred to the Indian Ocean. With the huge scale of thousands of merchant ships in Venice, as long as Marin can provide a modification plan, the ability to explode the navy is simply not too strong. When everyone looks to the East, Marin can safely develop the American continent.

Marin sometimes wonders - why am I so miserable? The crossing started so low that he actually crossed over to a poor wandering knight. It would have been better if it had started with Juan III, or Henry VIII...... It's like the current self, because he was going to take the throne in his early years, he hugged the thigh of Maximilian I, and as a result, he was labeled as an "emperor's lackey", and then he was targeted all the time...... It's been more than ten years, and you have to be careful. In order to monopolize the Americas, it was heartbreaking and countless brain cells...... And if it is the second generation of the king who has crossed into a big country, there is not so much resistance at all, because the name of the family is right......

……

Just as Marlin sat in his office chair and lamented that he couldn't get home through technology, Kohler quietly walked in. Before entering, Kohler closed the door with his hand......

Seeing Coke's mysterious look, Marin knew it was a big deal. So, he lowered his voice and asked:

"What's important?"

Kohler also whispered with the same caution:

"The results of the trial of that drug are out......"

Marin was stunned for a moment, but then reacted. I saw him ask with a happy face:

"How's it going?"

"No problem! In the past few months, I have had two able-bodied female prisoners try the medicine. Moreover, they urge their husbands to do anything with them every day during the 'danger period'. Now, months have passed, and neither of the female prisoners is pregnant. Moreover, as stated in the statement, the two female prisoners became physically weak after taking the medicine for 7 consecutive days. As for the geranium water, it seems to have indeed faded......"

"Are there any after-effects?"

"There are no sequelae, except that the geranium water is lightened, it seems that those women are more difficult to be emotional......"

Ma Linxin said that this is normal, after all, sterilization will definitely affect the discharge of eggs, if a woman is still as normal as before, it is called unreasonable. However, it is difficult to be emotional, which is not too big a thing for women. After all, it's not impassioned. Moreover, Queen Anne of France, the object of Marin's drugging, is already in her thirties. In this era, it is already considered an advanced age, so it is not surprising that the demand has declined. Even, in the eyes of people in this era, it seems more stable and dignified. After all, the people of this era, even Europeans, are no more prodigal than those of later generations. Abstinence, in ancient times, was even the embodiment of virtue. Therefore, some side effects of this medicine are really nothing.

But Kohler hesitated for a moment and said:

"Your Highness (Ma Lin is not allowed to call the young master), if you drug that woman, what will happen to the side effects of taking the medicine?"

Kohler is talking about the fact that after 7 days of taking the drug, the person who takes the drug will be weak and sick. Even, less than 7 days later, the person who takes the medicine on the 5th day will get sick. If you stop taking medicine after getting sick, you may lose all your efforts. Because, the drug instructions emphasize that the drug must be taken continuously for 7 days without interruption......

But the problem is that Anne of Brittany, Queen of France, is the Queen of France, and if she is sick, it is certainly not a trivial matter. If Queen Anne fell ill, it would certainly cause a stir in the French court. If the doctor intervenes, once the drug is stopped, the previous efforts will be lost......

Therefore, it is necessary to think of a way to cover up the side effects of Queen Anne after taking the medicine, so as to avoid the doctor's interference, which will lead to the interruption of the fat brother's next order to Queen Anne. You know, the instructions have repeatedly emphasized that if you stop taking the drug for less than 7 days, you need to start all over again......

Among them, the most important thing is that the last two days of the drug must not make Queen Anne feel strange. Otherwise, once the drug is discontinued, it will fail. Moreover, the medicine in the bottle is limited. If you fail a few more times, you will run out of medicine...... And if you want to go to Daming to get medicine again, it will take two years to go back and forth......

Marin didn't have a clue after thinking about it, so he said casually:

"Do you elaborate on the symptoms of adverse reactions after taking the drug......

Kohler recalled, and replied:

"The specific symptom is like abdominal pain, and then the body is weak......"

"Abdominal pain...... "......This is also a normal reaction, after all, this medicine damages the woman's ovaries and the first palace, which will definitely cause abdominal pain.

But Marin always felt that something was wrong......

"This ...... Why does this sound so much like a woman's pain......"

After a while, Marin suddenly slapped the table and said with a happy face:

"There it is! Well...... That's it......"

Startled, Kohler asked:

"Your Highness, what good idea have you come up with?" In Kohler's memory, his young master has always been resourceful and has a lot of ideas. Apparently, Marin has come up with some great idea again.

Marin nodded and said:

"Well, yes. Kohler, do you ever feel that abdominal pain and physical weakness are very similar to an adverse reaction in a woman's menstrual cycle? ”

Kohler shook his head blankly, he had only been married for two years and was not very proficient in women's affairs. Moreover, he has never been on the Internet, and he doesn't have so much knowledge of physiology classes. On top of that, Marin said it too elegantly and not straightforwardly enough......

"It's just a pain, you idiot!" Marin had no choice but to put it more bluntly.

Unfortunately, Kohler still didn't understand. Kohler's wife is very strong, and he doesn't have this problem, so he naturally doesn't know much.

Marin had no choice but to give Kohler some physiological knowledge. After speaking, it dawned on Kohler......

"You mean, drugged during Queen Anne's menstrual period. So that the French don't feel that something is wrong? ”

Marin nodded and said:

"Yes, didn't you say that the drug didn't react until the fifth day after it was administered? So, let's let the fat brother calculate the queen's menstrual period and take medicine three or four days before Queen Anne's menstrual period. When the queen's menstrual period comes, she may feel that it is an ordinary pain...... I guess Queen Anne has always been in poor health, and it's normal to have a pain or something during her menstrual period......"

After recalling for a moment the information about Queen Anne in the searcher's mind, Kohler said:

"There really is such a thing, according to the information sent back by the fat brothers, it seems that Queen Anne does have frequent abdominal pain during her menstrual period!"

Queen Anne's menstrual pain is not the kind that is common to unmarried women, but the kind that causes the body to be damaged due to multiple births. She was forced to marry Charles VIII at the age of 15 and then became pregnant prematurely. This led to a huge amount of damage to her body. Moreover, several children born to her earlier years all died young. Then, the root of the disease was also settled. Historically, Queen Anne died in 1514. When he died, he was only 37 years old. You must know that Sister Zhiling in the future is still single at the age of 44. In short, Queen Anne was ruined by premature childbirth and frequent childbirth, resulting in a poor health. It's not uncommon to have pain or something during your period......

Marlin nodded:

"That's the best, so, the fat brother will have a cover for drugged. As long as you get through the last two days of the pill period, even if you find out that something is wrong later, it will not help. Moreover, Louis XII, who ate the same food as the queen, was fine, and no one suspected the fat brothers! ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to give the 'sterilization powder' to the fat brothers, and tell them what to do!" With that, Kohler left......
