Chapter 617: plot
In fact, although Edward ascended the throne and claimed to be Edward VI, Europe recognized his few countries, only France and Scotland publicly recognized it. Other countries are still watching, and the most important Holy See has not recognized Edward's kingship.
As for Marin, Edward was not recognized on the bright side. Of course, when talking to Edward, it's okay to tout him. Sure enough, when Marin called His Majesty Edward, Edward felt that his bones were a little bit crisp ...
In addition, although Marlin and Edward agreed, Marlin will be transferred to Northumberland afterwards to become Earl of Newcastle. But it has not been successful yet. Therefore, Marin still claimed to be me, not a minister. Only after the capture of England can Marin formally become the Earl of Newcastle, with the entirety of Northumberland and the Isle of Wight on the English Channel.
"What's the idea? Let's hear ..." Edward responded after a few seconds since he hailed, and asked casually.
"Your Majesty, you mean, you want to regain the throne, but are you afraid of the French entering England?"
"Yes!" Edward nodded.
"That's easy to handle. The French navy is weak. Let's just let the British fleet and the French do a big fight. At the level of the French navy, we must fail. We can indicate when signing the treaty-if the French successfully land England, and after defeating Henry VII, we can fulfill the England fief. If the French fail to land in England, they will not honor ... "
After thinking about it, Edward said:
"No, you said last time that you can solve the English fleet and cover my army and me across the Irish Sea. In addition, you must solve the English Channel fleet? Otherwise, the English Channel fleet must prevent me from crossing. Across the Irish Sea. "
"Yes, I am committed to solving the English fleet and not letting them hinder you and your army from crossing the Irish Sea. However, I have not said that I want to destroy the English fleet ..." Marin said leisurely.
"But if you don't solve the English fleet, how can the French agree to stop fighting across the sea?" Edward asked suspiciously.
Marin took the Earl Milk Tea and said slowly:
"I said I promised to solve the English fleet and not let them disturb your crossing, but I did n’t say to destroy those English ships. If they responded, I heard that the French were crossing the English Channel. You said that they are the priority. Block you, or the French army? "
Edward seemed a little clear:
"You mean that if Henry heard that the French were organizing crossings, they would definitely intercept the French first?"
"Yes, that's what it means. As long as my army is quietly landing in Newcastle and is not found. Then, Henry VII will definitely not regard your army as the biggest threat. As long as I heard that the French will cross the sea, they will definitely take precedence Against the French ... "Marin explained.
Although it sounds uncomfortable, Edward knows that Marin is right. If you don't expose Marin's army. For Henry VII, Edward's miscellaneous army is definitely not as good as the regular army of France. Therefore, the interception of the French must have priority over the interception of Edward.
"However, if you do not solve the main force of the English fleet, the French will not cross the sea silly!"
"Yes, so I promised to" solve "the main force of the English fleet, not" destroy "..."
"What do you mean?" Edward puzzled.
"I mean, before attacking and destroying the English ships on the Irish Sea, I can support the main force of the English fleet ..."
"Break apart? What to do?"
"Your Majesty, you know. The main force of the English fleet is actually recruited from private merchant ships. Well, merchant ships naturally need to make money from shipping. Now it ’s not wartime, I just want to hire someone who can be used as a warship. They ran to Italy, Spain, or the Baltic region and other relatively distant places. Then, after they left, when my fleet attacked the dozens of English merchant ships on the Irish Sea, Henry VII even wanted to mobilize the fleet. Reinforcement, there are no ships available ... "
Edward suddenly stunned:
"This ... is this okay?"
"Why not?"
"But ... if those English merchant ships went out to sea, the French took the opportunity to cross the English Channel, then there was no ship to intercept ..."
Marin smiled and said:
"So, we have to make a time difference! Think about it, did the English merchant ships go to Spain and Italy, did they return within a month or two?"
Edward nodded ...
"We have a good time. When I dispatched a fleet to attack the English ships on the Irish Sea, I ensured that the English merchant ships that were opened would not come back. But after your army successfully crosses the sea, we will send a message to France. Just They did n’t know that the “solution” I said was actually the opening of an English merchant ship, which would inevitably be fooled. After all, if they sent the ship to scout along the coast of England, they would find that there was really no ship ... ”
"But the French organize the fleet and the landing of the army. Is it always a month? At that time, the English merchant ships are back. When the French cross the sea, they happen to meet the returning English merchant ships ..."
Edward was immediately excited:
"Then the French fleet was wiped out ..."
Marin nodded and added:
"More than that, the French army on the ship is also over. After this battle, the French want to slow down, it is estimated that it will take several years. Especially the navy, it is estimated that it will not get up in ten years. By then, you will not worry about the French Invaded England ... "
"It's wonderful! It's a good plan!" Edward jumped excitedly.
However, he quickly calmed down and said distressedly:
"But this would offend the French ..."
Marin said lightly:
"British and French are inherently feuds. As king of England, when was they afraid of offending France? Besides, if France is strong, can it cross the sea to bite you?"
Edward thought for a while and said:
"that's true……"
If, according to this plan, the French navy has to be beaten to death, why are they afraid of the French?
After thinking about it, Marin reminded:
"At that time, you have turned your face with the French, so you have to pay attention to the people around Queen Anna. Those people are all French ..."
Edward nodded ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ said:
"I know, but I have to wait until I return to London. At that time, I will remove all the French servants from Anna's side. It's just that I can't turn my face with France ..." When people roll their faces.
Marin smiled, but he didn't tell Edward-the French have studied how to kick your eggs ...
Marin estimated that after the three-party talks ended, Edward returned to Dublin, and the French would almost send someone to kick his egg. Otherwise, it wo n’t be easy to arrange until you have landed in England. Who knows what will change then?
But Marin did not plan to tell Edward, because the French did it for him. If Edward is good, when the cook who gave Anna the contraceptive pill is replaced, she can continue to have children. If a prince was born, even if Caesar married Edward's eldest daughter, it would be useless. Therefore, Marin does not care about the French kicking Edward's eggs.
However, after Edward's egg was kicked by the French, Marin would tell Edward the truth. By then, Edward Fe and the French must turn their backs. Then, you can benefit from the fisherman ...
