Because Pope Alexander VI suddenly died suddenly, and Julius II was elected as the new pope in a very short time. Therefore, what happened in Rome made other European countries unresponsive for a while. By the time they reacted, they had received an invitation from the Holy See to invite them to attend the Pope's incarnation ceremony.

In fact, no matter who the Pope is, most countries and regions do not care much. However, the following countries are different, namely France, Spain, Portugal and Shinra...

France and Spain care about who the Pope is because it is very simple. Because both countries need the Pope to rule on the ownership of the Kingdom of Naples.

Before, France had the upper hand. France had the upper hand in both military strength and politics. Because in the last few years, Pope Alexander VI abandoned his motherland Spain and formed an alliance with France.

This is because France promised that after taking over the Kingdom of Naples, it would grant a large tract of land to Alexander VI's illegitimate sons Caesar and Jeffrey. Therefore, Alexander VI decisively abandoned his motherland, Spain, and got along with King Louis XII of France.

Unfortunately, the ownership of the Kingdom of Naples was not yet concluded, and Alexander VI suddenly died, which made the French very depressed.

Speaking of which, the new Pope Julius II was once a staunch ally of France. As early as the Charles VIII, Julius II, who was still Bishop of Rovere, regarded Paris as his own family. At that time, Julius II was an ally of France, while Alexander VI was France's mortal enemy and Spain.

However, after Louis XII came to power, the French themselves gave up the then down-and-out Archbishop Rovere and instead formed an alliance with Alexander VI. In this way, Archbishop Rovere, who was originally close to France, became hostile to the French and was almost tied up and sent to Rome.

In this way, because Louis XII came to power, the allies of the two major powers changed. However, Archbishop Rovere did not surrender to Spain. However, his relationship with France was not good.

The French were actually very depressed. If they received the news earlier, they could send troops to Rome to demonstrate. Before the new pope was elected, they would force the Roman Cardinals to elect a pope close to France. After all, although the French army was defeated by the Spanish army, they were still guarding the northern line of the Kingdom of Naples and very close to Rome.

Unfortunately, it is too late now. The new pope has been chosen and announced to the world. Even the French dare not kill the new pope unless it wants to be beaten up by a group of European groups. What's more, trusting Pope Julius II also brought 7,000 troops, enough to defend the city.

Compared with the depression of the French, the Spaniards were more happy than worried about the election of Julius II.

The Spanish were happy that it was difficult for Julius II to get along with Louis XII because of the allies. In this way, Julius II might be more partial to Spain when it comes to judging the ownership of the Kingdom of Naples.

What the Spaniards are concerned about is the "Torde Silas Treaty" signed when Alexander VI supported Spain in the early days, and the permission to allow Spain to trade in India, whether the new pope would recognize it.

If it were based on the original history, Julius II would have re-announced the legitimacy of the Treaty of Todd Silas. Because, in history, Spain did not interfere with the real Indian trade. And Portugal also made a fortune in silence. Therefore, in history, the two teeth had no objection to the Treaty of Todd Silas.

However, because of Marin's time travel, things changed tremendously. Spain had not found gold and silver in the Americas, but was seduced by Marin to the real India and began to compete for business with the Portuguese.

So, the problem is that the Portuguese naturally hopes that the Treaty of Todd Silas will continue to take effect, but the Spaniards have changed. Because the huge profits in India's spice trade have made the Spanish kings so excited that they can't breathe. Therefore, the Spanish are dissatisfied with the Treaty of Todd Silas...

Because of the rich America, Marin, the vulgar guy, was deliberately called the "Wild Continent", and a syphilis incident also occurred, which made the Spaniards lack some interest in America.

On the contrary, the huge profits brought by Indian routes are real. So, for now, both Portugal and Spain hope to dominate the Indian trade routes and exclude the other party from the "wild continent".

Therefore, Spain will no longer adhere to the Treaty of Todd Silas, but Portugal will unilaterally insist. Sooner or later, these two countries will fight for this.

If it were in the past, Julius II might have chosen and mixed up with this and tried to mediate the conflict between the two countries. However, before leaving East Friesland and returning to Italy, Marin found Julius II and had a long conversation with him.

After this secret talk, Julius II already knew it...

According to Marin's suggestion, Julius II would not rush to draw conclusions. However, he would choose to favor Spain on the interests of Indian routes.

However, Spain cannot take up all the benefits. As the price of obtaining Indian trade qualification, it must give up at least half of the interests of the American continent. As for whom the benefits given out? Do you still need to ask? It must be given to Marin...

As for Portugal's grandson, it was naturally letting Spain clean up. Portugal is indeed powerful at sea, but Marin once gave the Spanish two kings a bad idea to go abroad - once a conflict occurs in Spain and Portugal, stop paying attention to the provocations of the Portuguese at sea, and directly organize tens of thousands of troops on land to surround Lisbon...

It is true that I can't beat you at sea, but I can kill you on land...

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, in the end, Portugal will definitely suffer. And then, Marin just needs to hide behind and get the bargain...

As for the last big boss who cares about the change of the pope, it was Maximilian I, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. As for why he cared about it? It was because he, the Emperor of Shenluo, had not yet been crowned in Rome...

Therefore, Maximilian I especially hoped that the new Pope would stand on his side. In this way, it would be easier for the Pope to crown him.

Before, although he bought the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire from Andres Pariologus, it was just a false title and had no practical significance. Because Maximilian I did not get any territory of the Eastern Roman Empire. Moreover, the territory was basically occupied by the extremely powerful Türkiye, and it was extremely difficult to get it back.

Therefore, in comparison, the throne of Shinra is more practical. At least, after the crowning, it is more legitimate.

In this case, it would be strange if Maximilian I didn't care who the Pope was or what his political position was...

What made Maximilian I happy was that although Julius II might not be close to him, he would definitely not be close to Louis XII of France. As long as he was not an ally of the French, it would be easy, and he had great hope of being crowned.

However, what Maximilian I didn't know was that his trusted general Marin quietly proposed to his father-in-law---Maximilian I should not be crowned easily. At least, the emperor must help him, get a few more territories, and strongly support him in politics before he can be crowned as he wishes...
