Chapter 514 Saxony Threat Theory

Although this would offset the part of the money sent to Wolms to bribe the princes, the amount of money that would be sent to death was only tens of thousands of gold coins, which was absolutely a world of difference compared to the income of 1.666 million gold coins.
However, when Marin was happy, he still felt a little shadow in his heart when he thought of the secret letter from Herman IV.
This shadow is the passage of Frederick III's speech at the Imperial Conference, emphasizing Marin's threat to the princes. If summarized in the words of later generations, it is - "Marin's threat theory".
This argument does not consider whether the object of smearing loves peace. Its argument is that if you have strong strength, or if you are about to have strong strength, you are a threat, a huge threat to world peace...
In later generations, the poor China was plagued by this baseless and unreasonable "China threat theory". The West, led by the United States, ignored China's peace-loving personality. They believed that China was strong, and as long as the Chinese had strong armed forces, it would pose a serious threat to world peace...
This is his... The overall military strength of Europe and the United States is stronger than that of China. Why no one talks about the threat theory of Europe and the United States? Especially the United States, who are fanning the flames all day long and making trouble with world peace, but no one talks about the threat theory of the United States...
Of course, this has something to do with the US having the right to speak in the world. The US's allies are European powers, or developed countries like the Japanese and Bangzi. These countries have a lot of voice in the world, and the US is also a gangster, so everyone naturally advocates the justice of the US. But those who are not in the face of the US will naturally be discredited as evil...
What about China? There is no ally at all. There is only one surrounding area, with a very good relationship between Pakistan and China. In one, it is a small and weak country like Laos and Cambodia that has no sense of existence. As for Beibang, they are the little brothers of the Russians and do not take China seriously at all. Apart from the surrounding countries, they are the black uncles and allies in Africa. However, those black uncles and allies only have some effect when the UN General Assembly votes. Usually, they have no right to speak at all. In this way, China, which is like a dove of peace, is described as a monster. The American, who is originally a fierce falcon, is disguised as a dove of peace, just like the comic that satirizes the United States during World War I...

Marin doesn't want to mention the right and wrong of his previous life, but Marin knows that sometimes, publicity is very, very important.
Why did Frederick III have such a great voice? Isn’t he famous and good reputation? In fact, in addition to leading everyone to argue with Maximilian I, what great things did Frederick III do that benefit the country and the people? No...
Of course, this is what is happening now. In history, Frederick III's main achievements were two - the first was to secretly support Martin Luther to carry out the Reformation, which deeply changed history; the second was that in 1519, he voluntarily gave up his campaign for the throne and instead supported Charles V. Because Charles V had enough strength to fight against the Ottoman Turkey at its peak... Therefore, he won the title of "wise Frederick"...
However, that happened in 1519. Even supporting Martin Luther's Reformation was also what happened later. Moreover, supporting the Reformation was also due to the need for interests, not how great Frederick III was. Because Protestant support for the confiscation of the Catholic Church's property was quite beneficial to the nobles of the princes...
So, for now, Frederick III has not achieved real achievements. His only achievement now is probably to lead the princes to confront the emperor...
However, such things can be done or not. Because, according to the rules, it is immoral to defeat the superiors. Frederick III's reputation was also spread by the nobles who supported him in the process of confronting Maximilian I.
The people at this time had no culture, so public opinion was naturally in the hands of the nobles. The nobles of the princes said that Frederick III was good, and everyone agreed. But the people actually didn't know what the specific good was...
Inspired by memories of his previous life, Marin decided to spread the "Saxon threat theory", publicize and exaggerate the strength and influence of the Saxon electorate, and warn the whole of Germany that Saxon is the mastermind behind the most likely unification of Germany...
In this way, by exaggerating the threat of Saxony, the relationship between the princes and Saxony can be separated and the relationship between them is no longer the same. At the same time, this also disperses the pressure of Marin.
Moreover, while exaggerating Saxon's strength, Marin also intends to belittle his own strength through publicity to make all countries feel at ease.
For example, Marin would promote the 40,000 army in this way - of the 40,000 people, 10,000 of them were temporary borrowed by Marin from the mysterious president of the Morgan Chamber of Commerce. And this non-existent Morgan would be described by Marin as a mysterious mercenary leader... under his command, there are ten thousand mercenaries composed of Englishmen...
In addition, the decisive battle outside the city of Lubeck, Marin also planned to promote it like this - when 10,000 local people rushed to the battlefield with 10,000 mercenaries from the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, the golden carriage that Frederick III and Jockim I was riding was located in the rear. Because of the lack of sufficient protection, the 20,000 reinforcements successfully seized the golden carriage, but Frederick III still ran away...
In this way, Marin's victory was even more coincidental through publicity. As for Marin's previous use of 10,000 people from Hamburg to deceive and attract the attention of the Bossa coalition, Marin never mentioned it. He just wanted everyone to understand that winning the decisive battle was completely accidental... God did not want the Bossa coalition to win...
Moreover, in the "Saxon Threat Theory", Marin pointed out that if the Bossa coalition won the war, the two richest cities in Germany, Lubeck and Hamburg, would be ruthlessly robbed by the coalition forces. In these two cities, they have property worth almost one or two million Goulden gold coins. Once the Saxon army obtains these property, its strength will surge. It can even be said that they have completely owned the capital to unify Germany...
Because the Saxony army itself is very powerful, and Frederick III, the Elector of Saxony, had a strong appeal among the princes, even surpassing the emperor...
Once the military strength is strong and the fame is better than the emperor, the Elector of Saxony will obtain property worth tens of millions of Gulden gold coins. It is estimated that no one in Germany can stop Saxony from unifying Germany...
Therefore, Marin happened to defeat the Bossa coalition and Frederick III to save Germany. Otherwise, Saxony, who captured Lübeck and Hamburg, would use his strong strength to push and unify Germany...
Let me ask, if it is not defeated, who can stop Frederick III, who has the power to command 50,000 powerful warriors? That is 50,000 warriors! No one in Germany can produce it, but Frederick III...
If it weren't for the time traveler Marin who had cheated, this 50,000 army would definitely have gone horizontally in the German region...
Of course, when promoting it, Marin must downplay the final victory and defeat, and then emphasize the foundation and strength of the Saxony electorate, making people realize the strength and danger of Saxony.
In addition, in the propaganda, Frederick III's greatness will also be exposed - Frederick III has done one thing in recent years, that is, to lead people to fight against the emperor... and then, he became "great"...
