In order for Jim to pretend to be more like a missionary, Marin held a "Crazy Karma Training Class" for Jim. In East Friesland, who is the No. 1 Karma? Of course, it is our Bishop Taylor.
Archbishop Taylor upgraded the technique of deception to art. Most people who believe in God will be deceived by Bishop Taylor. Only those who are as ungodly as Marin can not be deceived.
To fool Martin Luther, Jim needs to have a sacred temperament, such as applying for solemnity, ethereal tone, etc. In short, dressing up as a charlatan requires the strength of a senior Oscar actor. In this regard, Taylor is definitely the best among them.
Of course, Bishop Taylor is not only superficial, but also has a lot of things. When he was young, Taylor was sent to the Theological College of Cologne for three years. Although he did not get his graduation certificate, he had a training certificate, which is considered a professional background.
Moreover, when fooling believers, Bishop Taylor also quoted scriptures and spoke well, and was obviously a professor in the medieval era. Of course, Taylor's knowledge can indeed be a professor. With the wisdom of modern people, he is superstitious about those professors, let alone people of this era? His solemn appearance and good conversation are also the secret to Taylor's success.
Therefore, Marin threw Jim directly to Taylor. Taylor is actually helping Marin train a new group of small fool-level missionaries to send them to the newly controlled provinces. However, Jim's training is also very important. So Marin gave another tutoring fee, allowing Taylor to help guide Jim when there was no class.
Marin even arranged Jim to the newly established Theological Seminary of Orrich University to systematically learn the basic knowledge of theology. After all, if Martin Luther, who was a genuine professional background when Jim deceived, had a poor foundation and was exposed after a few words, how could he fool the other party?
How to fool those who are capable? First of all, you have to act more capable than him...
Therefore, Marin asked Jim to learn all the basic theological knowledge within one year. In addition, he would also receive special tutoring from Taylor's "Crash Training Class for the Gods" after class.
Marin's requirement is that Jim must reach a certain theological level within one year, and then be sent to Martin Luther for three or more years to see the effect of deception. If the effect is good, he might be able to come back in two years.
However, this matter is too secret to let anyone know. Otherwise, Marin will become a common enemy of Protestantism and Catholicism. Therefore, Marin asked Jim to a pseudonym and dressed up as a middle-aged man to receive training from Bishop Taylor. In this way, when Jim returns from his mission, no one will recognize his previous identity with Martin Luther, and no one will suspect Marin.
As for whether Jim will rebel? Marin believes that Jim's intelligence will not do that stupid thing. You know, Marin controls Jim's family. He also promises to allow Jim's eldest son to become a follower of Little Caesar... In fact, Marin doesn't remember how many followers he has reserved for Little Caesar. In short, there are definitely more than twenty...
In the face of the control of his family and his son's bright future, Marin believed that Jim should know how to choose. Moreover, it is not dangerous to lurk next to Martin Luther this time. Because Martin Luther is just an ordinary priest and there is no possibility of hurting Jim. As long as he leaves before Frederick III initiates Martin Luther, there is no danger of life.
...
However, no matter what, even if Marin helped Martin Luther quickly, it would probably take at least ten or eight years to gain the support of Frederick III and expand Protestantism to northern Germany.
During this period, what Marin had to do was to "build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down... Oh no, I'm waiting to be king..."
As soon as the Protestant War broke out, Marin took over the northern German region, and with such a large territory, it would be difficult not to be king...
But before that, Marin had a very important thing to do. Putting aside the money-making trade, Marin’s first priority now is to obtain a stable and sufficient source of saltpeter.
Only with enough saltpeter can Marin dominate the sea and dominate the land. You must know that America is so rich. Taking advantage of the current situation of the Americas, and Marin deliberately exclaimed and used the "Diary of the Wild and Horror" to scare people, Marin probably can quietly develop America for decades. But with the development of the great voyage, there must be navigators who will be curious about America.
At the same time, it is possible that there are ships, like the Portuguese fleet in history, accidentally deviated from the channel and drifted to Brazil...
Therefore, during this blank period, Marin not only had to take control of the entire America from the Holy See, but also had to build an extremely powerful navy to deal with those pretenders and protect their own interests.
As a time traveler who graduated from the history department, Marin knew clearly that even if Spain was extremely powerful in history, it was challenged by England and France. Of course, Spain's American hegemony was challenged mainly because Spain focused on developing Latin America and ignored the development of the east coast of North America, which allowed England and France to take advantage of loopholes.
In addition, in the original history, England sent Italian navigator John Capote to discover Newfoundland and other east coast areas of North America. However, in this time and space, Marin's men seized John Capote and all his crew members. Therefore, the English did not know the situation on the east coast of the North American continent. As for France, they went to the cliffs of North America with the English. After all, it was normal for the two countries to fall in love and fight each other, and the French followed each other to North America. Moreover, the early England was just a ruined place, not the later overlord, and it could not prevent the French from going to North America...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Atlantic Ocean is so wide that Marin has no confidence to stop all ships going to North America. However, if you can stop one, you should be considered one. If it really doesn't work, just send a powerful fleet to attack those countries that dare to send ships to America, threaten their capitals, and force them to give up. However, in that case, a lot of gunpowder is needed. Just a naval artillery battle, the gunpowder is consumed...
Therefore, Marin now needs to develop Chile's saltpeter. Although importing saltpeter from the Ming Dynasty was a good way, the cost may be lower than developing Chile's saltpeter. But the problem is that Marin cannot allow his own supply of saltpeter and is stuck. What if one day a civil servant in the Ming Dynasty was thrusting and preventing the sale of saltpeter to Marin? In that case, wouldn't Marin cut off the supply of saltpeter? Once other European countries form an alliance to attack, and Marin suddenly cut off the source of saltpeter, and the country will be destroyed...
In short, saltpeter in Chile must be mined. Even if the cost is high, it must be mined. It is not a matter of cost, but a matter of strategic security.
As for Marin's sea routes, it is probably only the UK's location advantage can do it. Because the English Channel is indeed important to Marin.
But Marin is now trying to seize England. As long as England is trying to seize England, no European country will be able to intercept Marin's fleet at sea. Therefore, the supply of saltpeter in Chile will not be greatly affected. As long as Marin's powerful fleet is still there, the supply of saltpeter in Chile will not be interrupted. On the contrary, as long as the intellectual saltpeter mines are still supplying saltpeter in large quantities, Marin's naval guns will not stop firing, and it will be difficult to defeat...
Therefore, it is imperative to open up the sea exploration around the Strait of Magellan and search for Chile and Panama...
