Regarding Albert, the Hoffman family quickly held a family meeting. In addition to the old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary, Marin and several brothers and sisters arrived.
Adler came back to attend Anne's birthday party before, and returned to Orich, and didn't have time to leave. So Adler also attended the family meeting. Even Anne also came to attend. After all, Anne was already an adult, and it was time for her to get involved in political affairs. As for Angela and Liv, there was no future meeting.
When Albert explained the reason and admitted to giving up marrying a foreign princess, Old Hoffman was angry. He shouted at Marin:
"Bastard, is there anyone like you who is like an older brother? What does Albert's desire to go to the wilderness continent have to do with whether he or not he marry a foreign princess?"
"It's a big deal. Dad, foreign princesses are in danger of leaking secrets!" Marin did not give Hoffman face this time, but instead told Albert the risk of leaks he had told Albert before.
"Can neither Simon nor Albert marry a foreign princess?" Old Hoffman was unhappy. His five children, the eldest and second sons, both went to the Knight's daughter, and the class was not high. Therefore, he really hoped that his two youngest sons would marry a princess and Anne would marry a foreign prince. In this way, how proud is to say it?
"That's not the case. If Albert doesn't go to the wild continent, there will be no such restriction. He will do whatever princess he likes to marry."
"Then... Albert, can we not go to the Wild Continent?" Old Hoffman advised. In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether to go to the Wild Continent or not. However, whether to marry a princess is a big deal.
However, Albert was determined:
"No, my father, I decided to be the governor of the Wild Continent."
"You can also be the governor in the country. Marin controls East Friesland, Oldenburg, Schleswig and Munster. Any place can be freed for a governor. Marin, do you think?"
Marin nodded and echoed:
"Yes, Albert, you don't need to go to the Wild Continent, you can get a good position in China." Marin is the boss of several vassal states, and it is still easy to arrange a position for Albert.
"No, I'm going to be the governor. I like the feeling of pioneering. Moreover, it's not that difficult to deal with Indians. I know very well that Brother Marin's expansion in Germany, all his opponents are strong enemies. If Brother Marin hadn't had the wisdom of the great sages, he wouldn't be able to resist it. Therefore, I, who liked pioneering, would be more suitable to go to the wild continent to print out the natives of the Nian..."
Marin nodded, and found that he was still very smart. He knew that his ability was not enough to fight against people in Germany, so he chose to bully the Indians. This is not bullying the weak and fearing the strong, but rationality. If he clearly does not have enough talent but goes to fight against all parties, that is an idiot.
Even if Marin himself had not had the knowledge of his previous life and was also very knowledgeable. With his talent and fighting with the powerful people of his contemporaries, it would not work. However, he had crushed the ancient natives with knowledge beyond the times, which was enough to allow himself to occupy a place in the battle for hegemony among the princes.
Albert is not a time traveler and his talent is not very high, so he naturally does not have the ability to compete with the heroes of this era. Therefore, it is a smart choice for him to bully the Indians.
After thinking for a while, Marin said:
"Since you have made up your mind, then I will let Tara go to Havana to be the governor. And you will go to Americo Island to be the governor. The climate on Americo Island is not hot, there are no tropical diseases, so it is safer."
"But, that's not too challenging? It is said that there is not a single Indian on those two islands." Albert was a little unhappy. He felt that he had lost and went to get a bargain.
"Not, Albert, these two islands are the springboard for me to conquer the wild continent. The richness of the wild continent is comparable to Europe. These two islands are the bridgehead and logistics base for me to conquer the wild continent. So, the location there is very important. After a while, I plan to send a force to test whether it can expand to the land."
"That's great!" Albert was very happy.
At this moment, Simon on the side suddenly interrupted:
"That... Brother Marin, can I lead the troops to print out the Dian Ann?"
Marin looked at Simon and said with a smile:
"Yes, the conditions are the same as Albert, and no foreign princess is allowed... In addition, no daughter or sister of a domestic general who commands the army..."
Suddenly, Old Hoffman couldn't help but burst out, and he shouted at Marin:
"Malin, what do you mean? Forget it, not to marry a foreign princess, but you are not allowed to marry a daughter or sister of a domestic general. Don't you know that most of the nobles in China are generals who command soldiers? Without military achievements, how could they become a noble?"
What Hoffman said is true. In the East Friesland State, most of the nobles were commanding soldiers. For example, Schwartz and Kahn were all awarded titles for their military achievements.
"You are talking about East Friesland, but Oldenburg and Schleswig's Principality have old nobles..."
"Then why aren't they allowed to marry the daughter or sister of the general?" Old Hoffman said dissatisfied.
"Because I'm afraid they will one day become Richard III..." Marin stood up, looked at Old Hoffman, and said seriously.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became cold and the air seemed to solidify. Mrs. Mary, Albert and Anne, who had read a lot, all changed their faces...
Adler was puzzled at first, but seemed to think of something, and his face changed...
Only Old Hoffman, the poor student, did not understand what Richard III was. After Madam Mary whispered to her, Old Hoffman jumped in shock:
"You...you...you...Malin, do you actually look at your brother like this?" When he said this, Old Hoffman was already a little stuttering. He didn't expect that Marlin was so cold.
"It's not that I want to see my brother like this, but that as an emperor, I must kill all dangers in the cradle!" Marin said firmly.
"Emperor..." Everyone present was shocked.
"Yes, emperor! Do you think I will not become a king in the future? I have already controlled five vassal states, including East Friesland, Oldenburg, Schleswig, Münster and Osnabrück. My territory is equivalent to a small kingdom. So, it is very likely to become a king in the future. So, don't be surprised. Moreover, an emperor must be cruel and ruthless. Edward IV trusts his brother too much, so his son Edward V was killed..."
"Who said Edward V was dead? It is said that Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York, escaped..." Anne defended unconvincedly.
"Escape? If you really escape, it will be Henry VII's turn to be king? Let me tell you that Edward V and the Duke of York were both killed by Richard III, right in the Tower of London. Their bodies were built into the walls of the Tower of London, and no one found them..." Marin said gloomyly.
Everyone shivered, and the old Hoffman said strangely:
"How did you know?"
"My teacher Einstein told me that he was in London at that time. According to divination, he learned that two poor children were killed in the garden tower of the Tower of London, and their bodies were built into the wall beside the stairs... Haha, Richard III was their uncle..."
At this moment, Albert suddenly stood up and said:
"Brother Marin, don't worry, I will never become a person like Richard III. Moreover, I will never be involved in military power and will not make friends with generals!"
Marin nodded in praise:
"Albert, I believe in you. I did this to prevent problems, not against you and Simon."
"I understand..." Albert said softly.
After Albert said this, Adler and Simon could not sit still, and Old Hoffman's face became very ugly.
Adler stammered:
"Malin...or, I...I hand over the command of Oldenburg's army and come back..."
"No, Adler, don't worry, your troops are just militias, and they are stationed outside the land. As long as the number does not exceed 5,000, I will not have any other ideas. Moreover, you gave my inheritance rights, and I will not treat you and your descendants unfairly."
Adler sat back with confidence, while Simon didn't know what to say, he said carefully:
"Brother Marin, I..."
"It's okay, Simon. As long as you don't control the local army, there's no problem. I don't mind attacking the natives of the wild continent..."
"Brother Marin, what about me..." Annie was also scared by Marin's performance just now and asked with some fear.
"Annie... Haha, what are you worried about? You will marry a prince and become a happy girl in the future... But you can't tell your future husband the secret of the richness of the wild continent... Otherwise, if he had the ambition to compete with me, I might kill him..." Marin smiled and said something that scared everyone.
"Wuwuwuwuwuwu...Brother Marin, please don't kill him, otherwise I will become a widow..." Anne was obviously frightened.
"Don't worry, Anne, as long as you don't reveal this secret, isn't there any danger?" Marin said gently.
Although Annie stopped crying, she was still scared...
Aside, Old Hoffmann was full of anger. Mrs. Mary looked at Marin with a complicated face. Her expression was both unhappy and comforting... She knew that her son Marin was already a qualified and cruel monarch...
Seeing that everyone seemed to be shocked, Marin wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he said:
"Okay, my brothers and sisters, don't worry. As long as you don't take the initiative to hurt me, I will not hurt you. After all, we are brothers and sisters of a mother. I am rich and I will never forget you. The more successful I am, the more you will have. Today, I say these words to remind you. This also shows that I don't want to be in opposition to my brothers..."
