Chapter 298： Negotiation invitation

According to the current situation, there is no problem for the Principality of Geddes to completely occupy West Friesland. You know, at present, the Geddes army has as many as 16,000 people (thousands were lost in the previous decisive battle), and George, Duke of Saxony, has only 3,000 people left.

Now the army of the Principality of Geddes has occupied half of West Friesland and is heading towards Groningen. It won't take long before they will reach and surround Groningen.

Marin did not think that George would lead the three-thousand horses to fight against the army of Groningen and the Principality of Geddes, because George was the Duke of Saxony, and he had many retreats. There was no need to take himself in because of the temporary gains and losses of Groningen. .

Therefore, in the aftermath, it was nothing more than George, Duke of Saxony, and the soldiers of the Duchy of Geddes occupy the city of Groningen.

However, if anyone feels that this is the final conclusion, it would be naive. Because, George the Duke of Saxony, no matter how waste wood, it is also the Duke of Saxony, not a cat or a dog.

Moreover, after seeing George suffer such a big loss, the Elector of Saxony could not stand idly by. After all, the Duke of Geddes hit not only George but also the face of the Wetting family. Therefore, when the time comes, the nobles of the Saxony family will definitely go to the nest and fight in groups.

In addition, Emperor Maximilian I owed a great deal to the Principality of Saxony because Albrecht, the Duke of Saxony, sent troops to help settle the rebellion in the Flanders. Army of the Fort Clan. In other words, it is the army of the Dutch region to which the Habsburg family belongs.

Therefore, Charles II, Duke of Geddes after occupying West Friesland, will usher in a wave of group fights.

However, as long as the army of the Principality of Gede Division withstood this wave of group attacks, then it would have been through. After all, some allies can send troops for George once, but not for the second time. Because, they are not George's parents, they will not be responsible to George in the end. Being able to help the group to fight a wave has already given a lot of face.

On the Principality of Geddes, the biggest reliance is probably the Swiss mercenaries. In other words, the supporters behind the Principality of Geddes are French. Because the Swiss mercenaries were actually acquiesced by the French to help the Principality of Geddes.

However, the French cannot openly send troops to help the Principality of Geddes. Because the French are not willing to tear their faces openly with Shinra. In this way, France will also be caught in a combination of Spain, Shinra and Britain. Fortunately, the British fortress Calais has been captured by France, and the ability of the British to interfere in France with the army has been reduced a lot. Of course, if Shinra and the United Kingdom form an alliance, the British can land from the Netherlands. Therefore, France also has to prevent the Habsburg family from joining the British. Therefore, open military intervention is impossible. Probably all France can do is provide funding and acquiesce to the Swiss mercenaries to help the Principality of Geddes.

Moreover, as long as the current Swiss mercenary, especially Zieg ’s mercenary regiment, remains, the next time he faces the coalition forces, the Principality of Geddes may not have a chance of winning.

As long as the old tricks were repeated, Zig ’s Swiss mercenaries were suddenly killed from the side when the battle was stalemate. Even the coalition forces had to be unlucky. Moreover, because it is a coalition, it is easier to finish. This is because the coalition forces are definitely a patchwork force, and the fighting strength varies. At that time, the flanks must be a mixed legion, Zig's Swiss mercenaries, and the impact of such mixed mixed forces, there must be no big problem.

Therefore, after some deductions, Marin found that the final result is that the Principality of Geddes continues to win ... and this is also in the interest of Marin.

Why? Because Marin's final plan was to take advantage of the opportunity of the Principality of Geddes to defeat the coalition forces and make a request to buy West Friesland. By then, George had no choice but to see that he could not recover the Principality of Geddes, it would be better to sell to Marin and recover some costs.

In this way, Marin can successfully capture West Friesland ...

As for buying the West Frisian and going to war with the Duchy of Geddes? What Marin is afraid of. Because the Marin phalanx with powerful long-range capabilities is not the Swiss phalanx.

Moreover, as long as the reserve team is retained, defending Zieg's side assault and defeating the Principality of Geddes Army is not a problem. After all, the Principality of Geddes seems to have nothing other than this killer skill. In other words, this tactic is almost equivalent to the tactics and cards of the Principality of Geddes. As long as the hole card is broken, the opponent will have nothing to fear.

For the question of the alliance between Marin and the Duchy of Geddes, this is not a problem. Because when Marin and the Principality of Geddes formed an alliance, they actually secretly formed an alliance without any legal documents.

Therefore, even if you turn your face with the Duchy of Geddes, it really doesn't matter. Because no one knows that we are allies ...

Even, the secret alliance was chosen because Marin and Charles II were pregnant with ghosts. At the beginning, the two agreed that they would share West Friesland together. However, neither Marin nor Charles II had the ambition to swallow West Friesland alone. Therefore, there is no paper document in their covenant. In other words, both sides are haunted, waiting to defeat each other afterwards and monopolize West Frisian. Therefore, the two finally turned their faces, that was just a matter of time.

However, for now, what Marin has to do is to appease Charles II, so that he can face the Saxons in groups without any worries.

To this end, Malinte sent a letter to Charles II, stating that he had launched the West Frisian contest and was willing to give Groningen to Charles II. As for the reason? I have occupied a huge princely country like the Bishop of Münster. Severisland and the like are no longer in my eyes ...

After receiving the letter from Marin, Charles II was really happy. As long as Lincoln gave up coveting West Friesland, then he could swallow West Friesland alone.

Moreover, Charles II was not worried about Malin turning over afterwards. At least, when George organized a multinational coalition to attack himself, Marin would not intervene. And if his army defeats the multinational coalition, then Marin ’s army can be defeated as well. So, for the threat of Marin, Charles II thinks there is nothing terrible.

...

When Marin was thinking about West Frisian's plan, the Roman side suddenly sent an invitation letter inviting Marin to participate in a negotiation after the autumn harvest.

As for what negotiations? Naturally, it was Spain and Portugal related to the revision of the Treaty of Todes Silas ...

Originally, in order to win over Spain, Julius II naturally agreed to the original version of the Treaty of Todes Silas. Moreover, there was no other idea in the original history of Spain, just to keep it as it is.

But this life is different, because of Marin's intervention, the Spaniards aimed at the interest of India's spice trade. Therefore, the original "Tode Silas Treaty", the Spaniards certainly want to amend. Only the Portuguese, because the original Treaty of Todd Silas was in their favor, would want to keep it as it is.

In fact, Marin had already negotiated with Julius II long ago to support the Spanish trade interests in India. However, it is not possible for the Spaniards to take advantage of anything. Therefore, it is necessary for them to spit out American interests. Because, Marin fell in love with America ...

In order to force the Spaniards to give up the interests of the Americas, Julius II even planned to invite French representatives to participate in this negotiation, forcing the Spaniards to give up the Americas. Anyway, for the Spanish enemy, France, what is detrimental to Spain is what they are happy to see ...

The role of Marin ’s participation in the talks is mainly to explain the West Africa Sanghai Empire and the ancient Zimbabwe Empire in southern Africa, and let Spain and Portugal choose one of them. Put more energy into conquering these two golden kingdoms.

Therefore, during this negotiation, Marin actually used to be an narrator in the past. In the name of "Einstein" disciples, he explained in detail the information of the two golden countries to the two countries and lured the two countries to conquer these two countries.

As for the opposition to Spain's continued **** of the Americas, Julius II has already selected a suitable target-France. The French must be against the Spaniards taking up all the benefits, and because of its strong national power, France also has a heavy voice. It is most appropriate for them to force Spain to give up American interests. It is not appropriate for others or other forces to persecute Spain. For example, Marin, and even Julius II himself are not suitable. Only the powers like France, the power of discourse, and the Spanish enemies, it is most appropriate for them to disrupt Spain. In this way, both Julius II and Marin can pick themselves up.

Even, inviting France to participate in the negotiations was not invited by Julius II himself, but it was Julius II who hinted that the Portuguese invited France to be a "notary."

The Portuguese have been hinted that powers like France not only have the right to speak, but are also enemies of Spain. Asking them to help will definitely benefit them. Therefore, the French were invited by the Portuguese to participate in the talks. And Louis XII was also willing to add plugs to the Spaniards, so he also agreed to send representatives to participate in the talks.

After the autumn harvest is over, Marin can make Manan go down to Rome, as an narrator, to participate in this renegotiation of the Treaty of Todes Silas ...
