Three diplomatic documents full of vicious words were soon arranged by Mikel personally to send Danish envoys to Moscow, Vittenberg and Berlin.

After the official documents were delivered, the three parties involved who read the diplomatic documents were immediately uneasy...

Prince Vasily, the Regent of the Grand Principal of Moscow, was furious after seeing the words of slandering him as a homosexual in the official document:

"Hans, an old bastard, can't beat others by himself, and he's so stupid that we are not good at it. I want to kill him and kill him!"

After breaking many precious items, Prince Vasily felt that it was not enough and directly cut the unlucky Danish messenger who sent the official documents into eight pieces...

At the same time, Prince Vasily also issued a diplomatic statement - the Grand Duchy of Moscow and Denmark have since become hostile countries...

After receiving the diplomatic documents from Denmark in Wittenberg and Frederick III of Saxony, he was very angry and immediately sent someone to beat the messenger who sent the documents. Fortunately, he only beat him up and did not kill the poor messenger.

In anger, Frederick III withdrew 10,000 mercenaries who had already headed towards Denmark...

In fact, as an in-laws, Denmark suffered an attack from the Four-Nation Alliance, both Saxony and Brandenburg were ready to support it.

However, neither Frederick III of Saxony or Chokiem I of Brandenburg, they did not want to offend Lübeck and Hamburg head-on. Because these two cities are the chief and deputy leaders of the Hanseatic League. Offending them is equivalent to offending the entire Hanseatic League.

If you offend the Hanseatic League, as long as the two leaders issued an order, Hanseatic merchants were not allowed to go to the Saxony Electoral State and Brandenburg Electoral State to do business, nor were you allowed to purchase any goods produced by the two countries. Then, even the Electoral State would have to kneel down.

Because the Hanseatic League is at its peak and has controlled most of the commercial trade in the German region. Offending the Hanseatic League is equivalent to offending most of the German merchants. In addition to that little rent, the princes relied heavily on commercial taxes. At the same time, they also needed to borrow from the Hanseatic League to maintain their luxurious life. Therefore, in Germany, few nobles dared to offend the Hanseatic League. Marin and the leader of the Hanseatic League formed an alliance, which was equivalent to holding a grip on the thigh...

Moreover, there is a legitimate reason for Lubeck and Hamburg to attack Denmark - two merchant ships full of spices were burned by Denmark for no reason. Then, Denmark refused to compensate, with a bad attitude and was completely a mortal act. Even if the two in-laws wanted to support them publicly, there was no reason.

So, in the end, Frederick III and Jokim I discussed privately - we should not use our own army, so as not to catch the handle of the Hanseatic alliance. However, we cannot really ignore Denmark. So, under the banner of Denmark, they began to hire German mercenaries to Denmark. Then, they planned to send them to Denmark to help Denmark fight against the coalition forces.

However, the two electors did not expect that the progress of the coalition forces was so rapid. In the past, even an ordinary castle would take a month to attack a solid city. If it were to attack a solid city, it would probably take two or three months to siege it. It might take more than half a year to encounter the opponent with sufficient troops...

Therefore, originally, the two electors felt that the Danes could last for at least half a year. They were not so anxious when recruiting mercenaries.

However, they did not expect that Marin would have the trick of cannon bombing and bombing the gate, and the attack on the city was very rapid. While the two electors were still busy recruiting troops, they quickly captured the Principality of Holstein and the Principality of Schleswig. Then, they directly pulled the army to the island of Zeland to surround Copenhagen...

Now, when the two electors finally raised up 19,000 mercenaries (the elector of Saxony hired 10,000 mercenaries, and the elector of Brandenburg collected 9,000 mercenaries), and when they were about to send them to Denmark, they waited for the diplomatic documents that the Danish king insulted them...

After receiving the diplomatic documents from Denmark, Jokiem I was extremely angry. He had a quarrel with his newly married wife, Princess Elizabeth, for the first time:

"Look at your old and confused father, you are incompetent, but you blame your son-in-law for coming. Look, what he said? I am a waste? He married his daughter to me when he was blind. Damn, he couldn't beat others, but he blamed his son-in-law for being incompetent! Didn't he claim to be a 'Northern overlord'? As a result, he was beaten like this by a Swedish rebel, a little Count and two Hanseatic cities, and he still had the face to blame me?"

Princess Elizabeth, who was only 18 years old, did not dare to refute, but was just crying. She also knew very well that her father had no reason to accuse her husband of her. Therefore, she could only bear the anger of her husband silently.

Then, the angry Jokim I also called back the 9,000 mercenaries who had originally sent out and planned to dismiss...

...

Wittenberg, after expelling the Danish messenger who came to deliver diplomatic documents, Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, fell into deep thought...

After Frederick III's anger gradually faded, he always felt something was wrong. Because the King of Denmark Hans issued such diplomatic documents, which was completely a desperate attempt, which would make Denmark lose all the strong support.

In order to verify his conjecture, Frederick III sent an envoy to Berlin through the post station system and asked Jochime I if he had received similar diplomatic documents...

A few days later, Frederick III received a positive answer...

As the wisest being among the seven electoral emperors, Frederick III quickly figured out the reason - he knew that Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, must have fallen. Moreover, it was impossible for Hans himself to issue this diplomatic document. The biggest possibility was to occupy the Three Kingdoms coalition forces in Copenhagen. The purpose was to anger himself and Jokiem I. Then, cut off his idea of ​​sending troops to help Denmark...

After figuring this out, Frederick III originally planned to send back the 10,000 mercenaries he had recalled. However, soon, he gave up this plan...

Why? Since Copenhagen has fallen, it will be useless if the reinforcements are sent out. At this time, the reinforcements will be sent to face the Three Kingdoms coalition with a peak morale. With the disadvantage of quantity, the reinforcements will have no chance of winning.

Moreover, the two electors sent reinforcements not to face the three-nation coalition forces, but to help guard the Island of Zeland and Copenhagen.

Now that Copenhagen has fallen, there is no need to send reinforcements...

As for the reasons for not sending reinforcements, the Three Kingdoms Alliance helped him find it - obviously, that diplomatic document with an insulting nature would be the biggest excuse for him not to send reinforcements...

Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, could have responded to the Danes' accusations afterwards using the excuse of "being insulted". Moreover, he could in turn accuse the other party...

Even if the Danes later discovered the problem and explained it clearly, by then, the war had been over for a long time. In that case, the Saxony Electorate would perfectly avoid this unprofitable war that had no chance of winning and could easily offend the Hanseatic League.

Because he wanted to rely on the support of Jokim I, who was also the electorate in the future, in the imperial parliament, Frederick III sent his conjectures to Berlin in a confidential letter.

After seeing the secret letter, Jokiem I thought for a long time, he also made a decision to pretend not to see the conspiracy of the Four-Nation Alliance. In this way, the Electoral State of Brandenburg could also avoid a head-on conflict with the head and deputy leader of the Hanseatic League...

Although the Saxony Electoral State and the Brandenburg Electoral State may not lose to the Four-Nation Alliance, they are not sure to win. If they do not win, the offended Lubeck and Hamburg will inevitably call on the Hanseatic League to impose economic sanctions on the two countries. At that time, not only will the two monarchs not be able to receive enough business taxes, but they will not lend them if they are short of money in the future. Because, the big merchants who usually lend to those great nobles all come from the Hanseatic League...

In the end, Jokim I and Frederick III also recalled the 9,000 mercenaries who had finally gathered together and dismissed them on the spot...

In this way, without Marin's knowledge, two diplomatic documents produced under the slightest sensation made Marin avoid the battle with the 19,000 reinforcements sent by the two electors.
