Chapter 743: Layout ahead

The action planned by Paul this time was very smooth. The main guard force went to the backyard of the palace to protect those big people. The guard force of the front yard of the palace was very complicated. And with Paul's fake waist card, plus the hands-on people just chose to eat at mealtime. So, things went smoothly.

The spy dispatched by the Paris branch of the Beihai Chamber of Commerce pryed open the door of the archives room, which happened to open the letter storing the contact between France and the Principality of Geddes. Coincidentally, in addition to the correspondence between the Principality of Geddes and France, there were actually letters from the French supporting the Swiss resistance of the Habsburg family.

Seeing these letters, Marin was suddenly happy ...

Originally, he also worried that his actions would attract special attention from France. However, after receiving the letter from the French to support Switzerland in private, he immediately understood that-finally someone helped to attract firepower ...

As long as the letters from France secretly dealing with the Swiss Resistance Army are given to the Habsburg family, the Habsburg family will definitely negotiate with France. Although it can't change the situation that France will still support Switzerland, it is certain that the French will be in a poor position and will be in a hurry.

After all, this is in the hands of the Habsburgs. No matter where the lawsuits go, the French are justified. Therefore, when the time comes to launch an attack on the Principality of Geddes, the French are probably unable to support the Principality of Geddes. Because they are also involved in lawsuits.

Moreover, because the expedition to Britain failed, the French were hurt. Although thousands of knights were retained, the loss of goods and materials in France prevented the French from supporting the Principality of Geddes in the short term. Even applying pressure to Marin, there is no time to take care of it. Because, no matter what, the pressure of the Habsburg family cannot be ignored. Taking advantage of the time of the two powerful political games, Marin hastily cut through the chaos and solved the Principality of Geddes ...

...

In addition, the letter written by Charles II, Duke of Geddes to King Louis XII of France, also surprised Marin. In one of the letters, Charles II blatantly referred to Emperor Maximilian I as a "greedy tyrant" ", And complimenting Louis XII as the most wise and promising monarch in Europe ... Charles II Complimenting Charles II is nothing, but calling Maximilian I a" greedy tyrant ", the problem is too big ... …

You know, Maximilian I, anyway, is also the King of Germany, and after being crowned, he is Emperor Shinra. Nominally, Maximilian I was the monarch of Charles II. It is a crime of death to scorn the monarch and put it in a centralized monarchy. Even if Germany was torn apart, and so vilified the monarch, Maximilian I had reason to punish Charles II. Even, the extermination of the Duchy of Geddes is not excessive.

However, now that the Habsburg family is deeply trapped in Switzerland, they have no power to clean up the Principality of Geddes. Therefore, let other princes "work for you" is the most appropriate.

There is a letter as an iron evidence, and Marin hides behind John II, Duke of Cliff. Even if the German princes are dissatisfied, they can't attack it. After all, who made the Principality of Geddes find the evidence? The princes did not do much to discredit Maximilian I. However, everyone talked in private, never publicly, and left no evidence. It is not unlucky to find documentary evidence like Charles II. Moreover, the letter also left Charles II's autograph and personal seal. Is it true, you know by comparison ...

...

However, John II, Duke of Cliff, was a little afraid of the anger of the French. Therefore, he did not know how to face the French blame. If the French sent a messenger to question him, he did not know how to face it. After all, France is the number one power in Western Europe. Although Shenluo is strong, but it is torn apart, no one can compare with France.

"Well, if the French asked, you said that the Habsburgs instructed you to do this. Without you, someone else will come forward." Marin suggested after thinking about it.

"Ah? Is that still possible? Does this offend His Majesty the Emperor?" John II was dumbfounded.

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, the French and Habsburg families are about to turn their faces, and the French can still go to the emperor to verify?" Marin said carelessly.

"What? They turned over? Why didn't I know?" John II was a little puzzled.

So Marin simply took out the letter from France who secretly supported the Swiss at the same time and showed it to John II, Duke of Cliff. After reading John II, he immediately understood-as long as these letters were seen by Maximilian I, the two sides would definitely tear each other. Even if it can't fight, diplomatic relations have broken. Therefore, it is impossible for the French to verify this with His Majesty the Emperor.

"What if the French sent troops to help the Principality of Geddes?" John II asked worriedly.

"Where do they send troops? Do they have enough money to support them? In the past, the French supported the Principality of Geddes and paid for the mercenaries to help the Principality of Geddes. But now, the Swiss mercenaries are not enough for their own use. Another ten thousand people were captured by His Majesty the Emperor. Without the Swiss mercenaries, would the French send their own troops? That would anger the Habsburg family ... "

Marin gave John II a good analysis before John II dispelled his doubts.

Furthermore, Marin took out the map and showed it to John II-France and the Principality of Geddes are not bordering. Even if the French wanted to enter the war, they had to go through the Netherlands area controlled by the Habsburgs. But will the Habsburgs let the French pass? Obviously impossible ...

In the end, John II, Duke of Cliff, left Aurich with satisfaction ...

...

And Marin, after sending away John II again, is about to start preparing to attack the Principality of Geddes ...

First, Marin decided to arrange a group of spies to enter several cities in the Principality of Geddes. What are they doing? Naturally it is to cooperate with the army to open the city gate.

Even, Marin planned to arrange them to quietly dig tunnels from several cities in the Principality of Geddes to the outside of the city. In this way, when siege, Marin can directly send troops into the city to seize the city gate.

In addition, Marin, the Principality of Geddes, is not worried. What he is worried about is the reaction of the German princes. Therefore, he needs more troops to guard against the coalition of princes that may strike ...

For this reason, the only remaining 30,000 troops in the country seem to be insufficient ...

First of all ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ to attack the Principality of Gede Si, at least 20,000 soldiers must be used. But if Marin dispatched 20,000 troops, there would be only 10,000 people left in the country. If at that time the princes impulsively organized a coalition to attack the homeland of Marin, it would be dangerous.

Therefore, Marin decided to expand the army again ...

However, this time, Marin did not intend to expand the regular army, but intended to train a reserve force of 20,000 people.

These people are guards in wartime and they are usually people. When the farm is free, they will be gathered together to train together. And when the farmers are busy, they are scattered in the field to work ...

This is somewhat similar to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, and also very much like the Eight Banners system of the Manchu Dynasty. The most important thing is that this method of recruiting troops is very concealed and will not cause panic among other German princes. After all, on the surface, the newly recruited people are basically the people, and only in wartime will they pick up the team to fight.

Therefore, these people are not standing troops and do not occupy the establishment. It is difficult to make other countries nervous. If it is directly said to recruit another 10,000 or 20,000 troops, it is estimated that the German princes are scared to death ... Excessive stimulation, Marin is estimated to attract a wave of German princes' joint conquest ... Therefore, all this needs to be arranged in advance ... …
