Just as all parties were ready to prepare for the war, His Majesty the Emperor sent the third batch of 10,000 Austrian immigrants. In this way, the number of Austrian immigrants in the North Sea country had reached 30,000, totaling more than 120,000. His Majesty the Emperor also received 900,000 gold coins with satisfaction.
After taking this money back, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely prepare to start a war to capture the entire territory of Switzerland. At that time, the balance will be broken and there will be wars everywhere on the land of Western Europe.
Of course, Marin definitely hopes that His Majesty the Emperor will be more powerful. In this way, the attractiveness of the French and the princes will be diverted. But His Majesty the Emperor does not seem to be in a hurry to send troops, but plans to send troops again during the autumn harvest. According to the information found by the spies in Austria, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor believes that all countries are busy with the autumn harvest during the autumn harvest, and even the knights will participate in the harvest to avoid rain. At that time, even if the troops are sent, France and the various vassal states are ready to intervene, they will not have time to react. After all, it is unlikely that the two countries will send troops without completing the autumn harvest. We cannot cause people in their own country to starve to death in order to rescue the Swiss.
Similarly, the Swiss Resistance Army must have been insufficiently prepared at that time. After all, the Resistance Army was all Swiss mountain people and they also wanted to harvest in autumn. Although Switzerland has more mountainous land, it seems that the arable land is more precious. At that time, the Swiss Resistance Army may not have time to assemble.
Marin agrees with His Majesty the Emperor's view. It has always been a good means of attack when the enemy is caught off guard. Blitzkrieg and other things are the reason. If you send troops during the slack season, your side is well prepared, but the enemy is also well prepared and cannot take advantage of it. It is better to catch the opponent off guard when the enemy goes to the autumn harvest separately, and you can achieve better results.
The arrival of more than 120,000 Austrian immigrants has made Beihai Country busy. Marin holds meetings every day and wants to divide the residential areas and reclamation areas for these 120,000 people.
Originally, Marin planned to disperse these people and fill them in various manors. But last time he discovered that the emperor sent spies, Marin began to be more careful. In addition to the thousands of households assigned to each manor in the early stage, there were about 24,000 households left. Marin planned to gather them first, send them to dig ditches and dig canals in various places, and carry out land reclamation. At the same time, he mixed the spies from Beihai Kingdom into it and identified the Austrian spies.
Although Marin would not attack those Austrian spies because of his ally and giving the emperor face, it is still necessary to properly monitor and "reasonable" arrangements. Allies belong to allies, but the core secrets cannot be known to Austria.
Austria has great potential for war, with a population of millions and a strong potential for war. If it weren't for the poor finances and the emperor, who holds the title of righteousness, would have really been able to unify Germany.
Just like Charles V in the original history, after having the gold and silver support of Spain and America, he immediately beat France and intimidated the German princes. In the end, France had to form an alliance with the Christian archenemy Ottoman Turkey, and barely protected itself. What is interesting is that France openly colluded with pagans, and the Holy See actually chose to remain silent. Obviously, the Pope was also afraid of the rich Habsburg dynasty... If he colluded with pagans at other times, he would definitely be expelled and issued a church.
Later, Spain and Austria split up, and Europe breathed a sigh of relief...
In fact, if Marin and Maximilian I join forces now, Western Europe will be basically invincible. The alliance of princes and France together is not as good as the North Sea and Austria.
Why? The Beihai Kingdom is not only strong in combat, but also has Austria’s most lacking resources - money and food. Therefore, the union of the two is definitely a strong union with 1 plus 1 greater than 2. But Marin did not choose to do this, why? He still made a fuss about the name of Dayi.
Austria has the right to be a great master. If the two families join forces to wipe out Germany and finally divide the spoils, there will be problems. If they have the right to be a great master, they will definitely ask for a big boss. In the end, Marin may be a wedding dress for Austria. Therefore, Marin would rather stay away than form an alliance with Austria.
Marin was waiting for Austria to ask for his head. In this way, he had the opportunity to claim the Byzantine throne bought by His Majesty the Emperor. As for whom the Habsburg family and the French royal family who were arbitrated by the Holy See, the throne would be the crowned one at Sophia Cathedral. This is difficult for Austria and France, but not particularly difficult for Marin. After all, Constantinople is on the beach, as long as they engage in a landing battle, raid into the city, and leaving after the crowning of Sophia Cathedral.
In fact, Marin had already prepared. He had sent spies to enter Constantinople to find opportunities to dig tunnels. At that time, once landing battles are launched, the army will siege the city, and the inner guard will help quickly break the city.
Because there is no need to worry about this, the spies have plenty of time to dig tunnels. Even if they dig one foot a day, in a few years, it is enough to dig several tunnels.
...
At the meeting discussing how to resettle Austrian immigrants, the third general of the North Sea Kingdom (lined behind Schwartz and Kahn) Stad suddenly put forward a point of view - since Marin is going to send troops to Eastern Europe and is still worried about local security, it is better to temporarily resettle 30,000 Austrian immigrants in the core area of ​​the local area. At the same time, basic military training was conducted on 35,000 strong men from the 30,000 Austrian immigrants.
The purpose is that after Malin sent troops to Eastern Europe, because of the empty defense, he might as well add the 35,000 trained men to various important cities in the country to assist in defending the city.
Although these immigrants are ordinary farmers, after training, they may not be as good as regular soldiers in the field. However, there is no problem to help defend the city. After all, with the cover of the city wall, the gap between combat effectiveness and fighting will will be smoothed out.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, Stadt believes that these Austrian immigrants are trustworthy. Although there may be spies from the emperor, Austria will never be hostile to the North Sea. Even those spies will fight for the North Sea when the North Sea is attacked by the princes and the French. Nothing else, France and the alliance of princes are also enemies of Austria. The interests of both sides are consistent.
In addition, through military training, it is also more conducive to identifying Austrian spies. Why? Because most of the spies in this era came from the army, similar to the "spying horses" in the ancient Chinese "spying horses", that is, scouts.
Therefore, spies must have a certain military skill base. Unlike ordinary farmers, it is difficult to tell the difference between the left and right.
Once military training begins, professionals and farmers with no foundation can easily distinguish between details. Those who are difficult to distinguish between left and right and long before they can adapt to the military orders can basically be spies. Those who adapt quickly and perform well are more likely to be spies. With the previous means of distinguishing eyes, it is easier to distinguish Austrian spies.
...
After listening to Stad's advice, Marin felt it made sense and others thought it was good. After all, training these 35,000 strong men into militias is indeed very beneficial to the defense of important cities in the Beihai Kingdom.
As for arranging land reclamation, there is no need to be too rush. Because Beihai Country is not short of food at present. Many rye piles are almost moldy in the granary. Fortunately, the Marin promotion table statistics give priority to consumption of Chenmai. Otherwise, a lot of food will be ruined in vain.
Only when hundreds of thousands of people from the Grand Duchy of Moscow are captured and plundered back will the North Sea Kingdom have a certain food crisis. However, Marin has arranged 300,000 Tainos to grow sweet potatoes on the Philadelphia Earl's Corps. At that time, there should be no shortage of food for sweet potatoes with old grains and fishing catches in Newfoundland fishery.
