Chapter 393: George, can West Frisian sell it?

Orings, the capital of East Friesland, Marin has been back for a few days. Upon his return, Marin approached Kohler and asked him to send a capable spy to Switzerland to inquire about the 20,000 Swiss mercenaries.

Marin always felt unreliable and felt that something big was about to happen. You know, 20,000 elite Swiss mercenaries have no problem fighting a national annihilation in Europe. Such a powerful army has actually lost its track, and it will be a worry for anyone. Therefore, Marin not only let Kohler send a spy, but also let Cage, who is responsible for training special forces, with a bunch of masters, went south with the spy.

In this era, Malin Ke has unconditional training and is a versatile spy like "007" who is skilled in intelligence. Moreover, Marin's spy school only gave those spy trainees a year of training, and it was good to make them familiar with intelligence. It is impossible to make them all martial arts strong.

To this end, Marin asked Cage to accompany dozens of special forces. To spy on such things as intelligence, it is natural that the spy gates went out in person. But sometimes, it is also necessary to grab a "tongue" and torture intelligence. Encountered this kind of thing, naturally Cage's special forces are out.

This kind of staffing has inadvertently achieved the same effect as "007". You know, the spies are generally smart and flexible people. The special forces may not be so smart, but their skills must be very strong. Moreover, Marin's special forces were actually carefully selected by tens of thousands of troops, and they were all masters.

In the actual situation, it is very rare that the brain is clever and flexible, and the skill is particularly strong. Even if there are, it is a country that has been nurtured since childhood, and after strict elimination, there are only a few people in the end. Such people are generally ace spies of various countries and are very valuable.

However, strictly speaking, it is not necessary to do everything by yourself. After all, the art industry specializes. Everyone has something they are good at. It is difficult for ordinary people to achieve comprehensive development. It is normal to be good at certain things.

Therefore, with the cooperation of special forces and spies, the spies have reached a very high level in intelligence and force. In this way, you can achieve greater results than ordinary spies or ordinary special forces.

After seeing the spies and special forces heading south, Marin started his work again ...

On this return trip, Malinte switched to Innsbruck in Tyrol and visited Emperor Maximilian I. Maximilian I expressed dissatisfaction with Malin avoiding himself, and sprayed Malin.

This time the coalition forces besieged West Friesland, and Maximilian I suffered a great loss. The 4000 Flemish army, but the elite of the Netherlands, lost a lot on the battlefield, making Maximilian I very unhappy.

However, a piece of information provided by Marin immediately diverted the attention of Maximilian I:

"What? You said that 20,000 mercenaries in Switzerland have been hired by mysterious employers and their whereabouts are unknown?" After hearing this news, Maximilian I was also surprised. As the leader of the Swabian League, Maximilian I was well aware of the powerful fighting power of the Swiss.

You should know that in the Swabian War, only one of the 13 cantons of the Swiss League, the Canton of Zurich, with the power of one canton, beat all the nobles of the Swabian League into disgrace and defeat, which shows that Swiss employment The soldier's combat effectiveness is strong. You know, there are only seven or eight thousand Swiss mercenaries in Zurich. Even in wartime, there are more than 10,000 mercenaries. Such a force can defeat the Swabian League. If there are 20,000 Swiss mercenaries, what a powerful fighting force ...

Maximilian I immediately ignored the reprimanding of Marin, and immediately found the minister in charge of intelligence work, and sent him to Switzerland in an emergency to find clues so that he knew well.

The reason why Marin chose to tell Maximilian I of this information is not only to divert his attention, but also to make use of the resources of Maximilian I's intelligence system to find out the reason as soon as possible.

You know, the intelligence system under Maximilian I, although traditionally backward, is also a very complete old-fashioned intelligence system. Its influence and scope are by no means comparable to the new intelligence system under Marin.

Moreover, Marin believes that 20,000 Swiss mercenaries are hired and will always go through the territory of other countries to the employer's territory. There were no planes in this era, and after passing through other princely sites, there will definitely be clues. After all, it was 20,000, not 20. It is not too difficult to find some clues. The premise is that you have enough manpower to fully spread out to explore the news ...

The intelligence agencies under the name of Maximilian I may have average intelligence capabilities. However, one thing is certain-they must be quite large ...

With more people, it is more convenient to inquire about intelligence. Maximilian I has many allies and can carry out intelligence work in multiple areas.

There are as many as 20,000 people, and even leaving Switzerland in batches will leave traces. This kind of intelligence can only be checked by the intelligence personnel of Maximilian I. As long as you can find out where the 20,000 Swiss mercenaries are, then everything is easy to say.

Although the combat strength of the 20,000 Swiss mercenaries is strong, Marin ’s German mercenaries are not easy to mess with. As long as they know where those people are, even if they meet them, as long as they are fully prepared, Marin's army is not afraid.

When he left Innsbruck, Marin agreed with Emperor Maximilian I to share information. Once any party first discovered the traces of the 20,000 Swiss mercenaries, they must share the information with the other party.

This time, Marin sent a spy to go south to Switzerland. In addition to sending out news and special forces responsible for catching the "tongue", he also arranged someone to contact the people of Maximilian I to get the latest news from the Austrians. At the same time, you can also share your own information with the Austrian side.

As long as I can find out the destination of the 20,000 Swiss ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ can also make Marin Song breath ...

...

Marin was dealing with the copywriting that he had accumulated during his trip to Italy, and he suddenly heard the report-the visit of George, Duke of Saxony ...

After the defeat in West Friesland, George did not return to his country, but fled to East Friesland with the remaining more than 2,000 regular soldiers and more than 10,000 Saxon strongmen, carrying all the wealth and food of Groningen, He crossed the Ames River and established a camp on the east bank of the Ames River. And George, Duke of Saxony, was also stationed in a camp on the east bank of the Ames.

Obviously, George was not willing to fail, but still thinking about making a comeback. However, the Geddes side has already sent a ransom request-really, as George thought, it needs more than one million gold coins ...

Now that George is almost bankrupt, where can he pay more than one million gold coins? As for borrowing money? George borrowed too much before, and now he hasn't paid off his arrears, where can he borrow more funds again?

However, George is still lucky, hoping to find a good opportunity to make a comeback.

Sure enough, during the meeting with Marin, George proposed that he wanted to borrow troops from Marin's East Friesland and then attack West Friesland again to recapture everything. At the same time, it also avoids paying ransoms of millions of gold coins. After all, as long as it is defeated, everything will not be a problem.

But how could Marin be willing to lend troops to George? Not to mention the previous antagonistic relationship with the Principality of Saxony, even with a good relationship with Saxony, Marin would not lend troops to George. This is because the army of the Principality of Geddes is dominated by Swiss, which is not easy to mess with.

During dinner, Marlin, who hosted the Duke of Saxony, suddenly said:

"Duke George, can you sell West Friesland? Or, sell West Friesland to me ..."
