At this time, Kohler suggested:
"Or what if the army is "cut off food" as an excuse? It would be normal for soldiers to cause trouble if the army has no food." Kohler is in charge of money and knows the importance of money and food to the army.
Marin nodded and said:
"This is a good idea, but if the food is really out of stock, maybe the army will really mutiny. It's too dangerous..."
The other people also nodded in agreement. Indeed, the army's food is not a joke. Even if it is a rumor, if the soldiers really believe it, it is easy to cause chaos.
In the army, you must avoid panic. If rumors of food are spread, the morale of the army will inevitably be disintegrated and even a big mess will occur. When Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were fighting, they had to unjustly kill Wang Wu, a warehouse official in charge of food, to calm the panic in the army.
Therefore, although Kohler's opinion is good, it is extremely dangerous. Once it backfired, there may be a big mess. If the army is really in chaos, it will be useless even if Marin appears.
Everyone fell into silence...
After a while, Wagner, the commander of the Second Legion, suddenly suggested:
"Or what if we pretend to be a power struggle?"
"Power struggle? What does it mean? Let's talk about it more in detail..." Marin became interested.
Wagner cleared his throat and said:
"According to the general idea, if the Lord really dies and the young master is young, he should be the head of the Grand Duke. At the moment of power alternation, should the Grand Duke control the military power?"
"You mean..." Marin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I remember that my wife's family is a knight family, with old Lord Nelson and Master Louis?" Wagner asked.
At this time, Schwartz and Kohler all laughed. Because Wagner was wrong.
In fact, among the people present, Wagner and Heinx were not old men under Marin, but joined later. Therefore, they did not know Angela's true origin, and they thought Angela was the daughter of the Nelson Knights family who was arranged by Marin as a cover.
Marin also laughed. Considering that the two had entered the core circle and did not intend to hide it, he explained to Wagner, Wagner and Heinx:
"Angela comes from not from the Nelson family, but from Italy."
"Italy? Your father-in-law is..."
"The Rome's Controller..." Marin didn't say it clearly, but Wagner and Heinx both grew their mouths in surprise...
The controller of Rome is the Pope...
"Now you understand why our grand duke is so close to the Holy See? Otherwise, if the Holy See is such a big territory in the Bishop of Munster, how could the Holy See give us?" Schwartz said with a smile.
Wagner quickly took a big sip of tea to calm his excitement. He and Heinx looked at each other and saw surprises in each other's eyes - such a powerful backer, no wonder his lord could make such a quick comeback. If it were a person of low origin, the church would find it difficult to recognize it. Marin's ability to gain a place in the German House of Princes is inseparable from the church's support. After all, the church's power also accounts for nearly half of the house of the House of Princes. With such a background boss, the future is bright...
After calming down, Wagner continued:
"The subordinates know Mrs. Angela's origin, but the outside world doesn't know it. So, if the Grand Duke disappears and Mrs. Angela wants to control the army, should we use our own family to control the army?"
"You mean, let old Nelson and Louis Nelson be the commander of the legion?" Marin seemed to understand Wagner's meaning...
"That's right, of course, this is just a unilateral order from the Lady. We can let the Lady pretend to give orders and let the old Lord Nelson take over the position of commander of the Second Legion, and also let Master Louis Nelson take over the position of commander of the Third Legion..."
"Then, you and Steindorf pretended not to accept the order and pretended to have a quarrel with Orich?" Marin understood and said with an excuse.
"That's right, if we join the commander of Steindorf and I, we refuse to accept Orich's command. Then, there will be only one First Legion left in the North Sea Kingdom. At that time, are you still afraid that those princes will not be moved?"
Marin thought for a while and said:
"The idea is very good, but the problem is that the Second Legion is also stationed in Orich. Logically, if the Second Legion does not accept the command of the Orich Palace, the First Legion will definitely suppress it. Could it be that the First Legion and the Second Legion pretend to fight in Orich's city? Isn't that right?"
Although Orich City is extremely vigilant and spies are not easy to operate. However, because it is the capital, there are also foreign envoys stationed. If the two legions start to make a fuss, whether they are real or fake, those envoys can still see.
If the performance is too realistic, it will cause great damage to Orich. Therefore, this is a bit inappropriate.
Wagner also realized this situation. After thinking about it, he suggested:
"Or why should Lord Schwartz's 'Five-man Regent' find an excuse to transfer the Second Legion from Orich?"
Marin thought for a while and nodded in agreement...
At the beginning, he transferred the Second Legion to Orich because he was afraid that something would happen to him. At that time, the capital would have two strongest legions, which would also protect the safety of Caesar and Angela.
But now that I have returned to China safely, there is no need for that. Because everything is under his control.
After thinking about it, he planned to let Schwartz and others transfer the Second Legion to Oldenburg City first. In this way, only after leaving Orich's Second Legion and reaching the local area, he could "reach the top of the mountain".
...
After the meeting, Marin told Angela about this at night and asked her to cooperate with Schwartz and others to perform a good show...
The next morning, Schwartz, Stad, Kohler and Schor, four members of the five members of the Regent who attended yesterday's meeting made the decision to "transfer the Second Corps to Oldenburg to garrison." Haider did not attend the meeting yesterday and was a little confused. Kohler pulled him aside and whispered a few words, and Haider immediately agreed.

...
Soon, the Sixth Legion of the Beihai Kingdom stationed in Ruhr District suddenly experienced a "mustacle"...
It is said that the Scottish soldiers of the Sixth Corps, missing their hometown, ignored the obstruction of the young commander Heinx, launched a mutiny one night, rushed out of the camp, heading north across the Lipper River, and headed straight to Emden, the largest port in the North Sea, and obviously wanted to return home by boat... And Heinx, with three thousand German soldiers chasing them...
Of course, this news was made by Kohler, who asked the spies of Beihai Kingdom to deliberately spread it in the territory of several vassal states around Beihai Kingdom that covet the agricultural secrets and even territory of Beihai Kingdom, in order to let the princes know that something happened to Beihai Kingdom...
"The Beihai Kingdom army has mutiny!"
"The Beihai Kingdom army has mutiny!"
...
This is the biggest news in northern Germany in recent times...
...
A few days later, big news came from Beihai Kingdom - Angela, the wife of the Grand Duke of Beihai Kingdom, announced that she had identified Marin Hoffman, the Grand Duke of Beihai Kingdom, had an accident and announced that she was regent in her son and had received the support of the "Five-man Regent". Then, Mrs. Angela ordered her father, Old Nelson, to take over the position of commander of the Second Corps. At the same time, she ordered her younger brother Louis Nelson to take over the position of commander of the Third Corps... Obviously, Mrs. Angela wanted to control the army in her own hands...
But what is unexpected is that Wagner, the commander of the Second Corps of the North Sea Kingdom, and Steindorf, the commander of the Third Corps, both publicly expressed dissatisfaction, and believed that the old Nelson and his son were not capable of serving as commanders, so they refused to obey the orders...
Then, the commander of the Second Legion, Wagner, was afraid of being attacked by the strongest First Legion of the North Sea Kingdom, so he directly led his army away from Oldenburg (which was also decided after discussion with Marin) and joined the Third Legion to the east. It seemed that the Second Legion of the North Sea Kingdom and the Third Legion were planning to join forces to fight against the regent's grand duke's wife...
