Although the old Hoffmann had already put his posture down, the princes were still unwilling to let go of the Great Duchy of the North Sea easily. Why? Your special meow has such a strong combat power. Eliminating other vassal states at will is simply destroying social order! The most important thing is that Marin is also the horse-boy of Emperor Maximilian I...
In fact, the latter reason is the most important. As for the destruction of human countries, it is not uncommon for the princes, and they have done such things themselves. However, it would be a big problem to have the strength to easily destroy human countries or the horsemen of Maximilian I who intends to unify Germany. What if the Habsburg family of Maximilian I completely unified Switzerland and freed up their hands to unify the whole of Germany?
Therefore, after discussion, most of the anti-emperor princes came to a consensus conclusion that first, the Habsburg family must not be allowed to completely occupy Switzerland; second, they must definitely suppress the North Sea Kingdom and cannot be allowed to fight for the Habsburg family. Therefore, the princes sent a second group of envoys, demanding that Marin swear in the name of God that they would never be allowed to help the Habsburg family launch a war to unify Germany. At the same time, they demanded that the army of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea be formalized and no longer allowed to be hired casually. If they really needed to accept employment, they needed to obtain approval from the Imperial Parliament... If the North Sea Kingdom did not agree to these two conditions, the countries might form a coalition force to jointly attack the North Sea Kingdom...
Old Hoffman was shocked and was attacked by the whole of Germany. That was not a joke. Even if the Beihai Kingdom is strong, it might fall. What's more, the Beihai Kingdom now has 20,000 troops in England.
In desperation, Old Hoffman had to say that the Beihai Kingdom must carefully consider the opinions of various countries. However, it was useless for him to swear that he needed to wait for Marin to come back and reach an agreement with the various countries in person.
In addition, in order to give an explanation to all countries, Old Hoffman detained Schwartz, who had just returned to China with his army. Of course, this was for the sake of various countries, and Schwartz knew it well and cooperated very well. Moreover, Schwartz's loyal subordinates were also greeted and did not make trouble.
Of course, this is only one aspect. Old Hoffman was not stupid. He imprisoned Schwartz just to block the mouths of various countries. However, it is useless to show weakness. If it is just showing weakness, it will only encourage the enemy's arrogance. Therefore, while Old Hoffman was imprisoning Schwartz, he allowed more than 10,000 people who returned home (a few thousand others took over the country), and the original Third Legion, to leave the camp outside the city, enter several important cities, and begin to build temporary fortifications...
This is not all. The 20,000 people selected by Marin from the serfs were almost done at this time. They also received orders, putting on white black cross vests and moving into several major cities with tools... The reason they entered the city was that the city was dilapidated, and they came to repair the city walls...
Among them, 20,000 people directly settled in the capital Orich, and acted as if they wanted to fight a defensive battle...
When the envoys from various countries saw it, Oh my God, Orich alone, the Beihai Kingdom had 20,000 to 30,000 people and countless grains were transported into it. It seemed that the other party was ready to fight a lasting defensive war...
The Beihai Kingdom's behavior of admitting defeat and showing off its muscles eventually made many princes worry. Therefore, they just continued to clamor without taking further action. In the end, these princes gathered together again to discuss, and the result was that if Marin came back, he was willing to swear in the name of God that he would not help the Habsburg family unify Germany and promised not to lend troops casually (they were actually worried that Marin would use the same means to lend the soldiers to the Habsburg family. However, this cannot be stated explicitly), they would give up the use of force; if Marin refused, they would not say that they would form a coalition and fight with the Beihai Kingdom...
In fact, the leaders of the princes including Frederick III also understood that the vassal states here could indeed gather troops that could defeat the Grand Duchy of the North Sea. However, they might not be able to really defeat each other...
Why? Because the coalition of princes can defeat the Beihai Kingdom, it is only theoretically possible. But in reality, everyone has their own ulterior motives. If the army of the vassal state is brave and not afraid of the loss of its own army, it is certain to defeat the Beihai Kingdom. But the bad thing is that everyone may not be willing to fight to the death... After all, the princes here are not fools. If their army fights all, their vassal state will have to be slaughtered by then...
Therefore, the coalition of princes has the possibility of defeating the Grand Duchy of Beihai in theory. But in fact, because people are uneven, they may not be able to defeat the Beihai Kingdom.
If it is really formed and the Beihai Kingdom is defeated, it would be fine if it wins. If it is defeated because of uneven people's hearts, it would be terrible. At that time, the Beihai Kingdom will be very powerful and become the absolute leader of Germany. At that time, the failed coalition will completely become a mess. If Marin takes the opportunity to expand, everyone will have no ability to resist... Maybe a more terrifying force than the Habsburg family will appear in Germany...
Moreover, judging from the attitude of Beihai Kingdom, the other party seemed to have been prepared for a long time to be besieged. However, the vassal states were not prepared at all. If they sent troops casually, they might not be able to win...
Therefore, after discussion, Frederick III and several other princes believed that as long as they forced Marin to swear, they would be fine. After all, in this era when Protestantism had not yet risen, no one dared to swear in the name of God casually...
Moreover, several leaders of the princes believed that Marin was also a great prince now, and there was no reason to help the Habsburg family unify Germany. Because if the others were finished, Marin would follow in their footsteps...
...
And just as the whole of Germany was discussing Marin, the protagonist Marin had already arrived in America and landed in Sydney Harbour on Cape Breton Island...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In Sydney Harbour, Marin was warmly welcomed by all the officials and citizens of Cape Breton Island. In addition to Garland, the governor sent by Marin himself, the immigrants who immigrated here were grateful to Marin. After all, they were about to starve to death, which was when Marin reached out to help, immigrated them to Cape Breton Island, arranged accommodation for them, provided food, and allowed them to survive. Moreover, they are living a good life now...
Of course, these English people are also relatively simple. If they knew that the civil war in England was initiated by Marlin secretly, and even the looting of several northern counties in England was the idea of ​​this pseudonym for King James IV of Scotland. These Englishmen would probably want to tear them to pieces...
However, few people in the world know about the news that "the English Civil War was initiated by Marin." And those who know are Marin's absolute confidants. Therefore, Marin does not have to worry about being torn to pieces by the angry Englishmen...
Faced with the warm welcome crowd, Malin learned from the attitude of the leaders on TV in later generations, smiled, and kept waving his right hand to everyone, which attracted loud praise from the people. You know, in this era, the nobles were too lazy to look at the common people at all. However, Malin could wave to them, even if he pretended, it was enough to make the people very excited...
In fact, the people present didn't know that this was just the most common routine. Just as a star in the later generations said privately - when they saw their fans, they would smile in a conditioned manner and wave to them... But in fact, he didn't pay attention to any specific fan...
