After writing this book, Marin and Leonardo da Vinci signed the author together. Of course, Marin specifically stated in the preface that his views did not come from himself, but from the great sage Einstein who taught him.
In this way, no real historian will come to Marin to discuss academic issues in the future. As for Leonardo da Vinci, he is already knowledgeable. Even if someone comes to discuss with him, he will be fine.
Then, Marin specially sent someone to Rome and took sample books to the Pope's father-in-law to see if there was anything that was not in line with the doctrine. After all, writing history requires the consent of the Holy See. After all, before Protestantism emerged, Catholicism had the final right to interpret various cultures.
Of course, Marin was not worried that this book would not be able to pass. After all, in order to meet the requirements of the Holy See, Marin specially inserted myths when writing it to cater to the Holy See. Moreover, as the Pope's son-in-law, Marin was not worried that the Pope would block himself. At most, help him modify some unruly aspects.
Sure enough, the Pope quickly finished reviewing the book and agreed to publish it. However, when he returned, he helped add some plots that boast about the Romans. After all, the cardinals of the Holy See were mostly Italians descended from the Romans.
The part added by Julius II in the book highlights the wisdom of the Romans. Therefore, God chose to put the Holy See in Rome. Because Rome is the capital of wisdom...
Faced with such shameless boast, Marin's mouth twitched. However, in order to please the Holy See, he accepted it. Moreover, his flattery of the Germans was also shameless...
Then, the conclusion of this book becomes - the Germans are fighting nations, and the Italians are wise nations...
Marin could imagine how popular the French were in this book - damn, what about the French? Are we not powerful enough? Isn’t the French nation the best nation in the world?
Therefore, when signing, Marin specially asked Da Vinci to sign in front and his signature in back, and specifically emphasized that his views came from the great sage Einstein. In this way, even if the French are very angry, it is difficult to find fault with him. After all, he is just the second author, and his views are borrowed from his "disappearance" teacher...
After the book was compiled, he naturally waited for printing. This was not difficult for Marin, because he had a large amount of cheap paper from the Cape Breton paper mill. Moreover, the book had few pages, only 60 pages, or 30 pieces of paper. Even if the cost of printing lead type and ink was not high.
However, because this book is to be promoted in the UK, Marin translated the English version by himself. In this way, the book has two versions: German and English versions. In the future, it will also be launched in Italian. Because, while boasting about the Germans, this book also boasted the Italians, descendants of the Romans, with the pen of the Pope. Therefore, it will definitely be popular with the Italians. As for France... this book will definitely not be sold. After all, the book praises the English by depicting the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France, but belittles the French. If you can sell in France, there will be ghosts...
In the end, Marin printed 5,000 copies of the German and English versions of the book, and then put it on the markets in Germany and England.
Don’t underestimate the number of these 5,000 books. In later generations, this may be very small. That’s because the literacy rate in later generations is high, and if 5,000 books are best-selling, they can be completely digested in a small city.
But now the literacy rate in Europe is extremely low, and only aristocrats, priests and some wealthy people can read. 5,000 copies were printed, and they would definitely not be sold out in a small vassal state, and they needed to be distributed nationwide in Germany. Similarly, the same goes for England.
In order to promote this book in England, Marin asked Pope Julius II to help promote this book in England through the relationship of the Catholic Church in England. Otherwise, Marin would not have the confidence to sell all 5,000 books in England...
Moreover, Marin also planned to send a batch of English versions of "The Origin of the European Ethnicity" to the Catholic Church in England, and bribe some missionaries to promote the content of the book among the people in England.
After all, in this era, the English people's literacy rate was also very low. However, missionaries were all literate. Marin could spend money to buy those priests, and while preaching, they promoted the contents of the books to the people of England. This would also help the rapid spread of content and views in the books. When the people of England knew that their families and the Germans were family, Marin became more easily accepted by the people of England...
...
Just as Marin was busy editing and printing new books, news suddenly came from Ireland that Edward planned to hold a secret tripartite talks with the French side and Marin in Nantes, the capital of the Principal of Brittany in northwestern France, to determine the hands-on plan and how to divide the spoils.
Moreover, Edward would personally take a boat to Nantes. Because he occupied the southwestern sea estuary of Ireland, Edward could take a boat from the southwest coast of Ireland and head directly south to the Principal of Brittany and enter Nantes through the Loire River. In this way, he could also avoid the English warships in the Irish Sea and the English Channel.
Of course, for safety, Edward asked Marin to send warships to protect his ships. Because, as far as Edward knew, Marin had strong naval strength and could withstand the attacks of English warships. After all, Edward did not know whether the English fleet would happen to encounter the ship he was on.
In addition, for this tripartite talks, King Louis XII of France will personally attend the negotiations. Therefore, Edward invited Marin to go to Nantes together to participate in the tripartite secret talks so as to divide interests on the spot.
After thinking about it, Marin agreed. After all, he had not yet publicly turned against France. As for the hatred that Charles VIII had formed between him and France, it had long been gone. Speaking of which, Louis XII had to thank Marin for his anger to death. Otherwise, he would not have the chance to become the King of France.
Moreover, because the English fleet firmly controlled the English Channel, the French could not transport troops to England's native land. Marin could transport troops to Newcastle in northeastern England through the wide North Sea.
At the same time, Marin has a strong combat fleet that can deal with the obstruction of English warships. Therefore, Marin, who is strong in England, is essential to attack Marin, who is strong in sea and land. If the French could defeat Britain alone, they would have done this long ago. The problem is that the French navy was too frustrated...
Marin learned that the Port of Brest, a famous northwestern port in France, has not yet been built yet, but is just a seaside fortress. It seems that Brest would not build a port in Brest until the famous French prime minister Richelieu was in power in the 17th century. Later, it became the home port of France's colonial North America.
