Chapter 838： The big fist is the last word

Compared with Marin's good mood, Otto III, Earl of Schaumburg, can only be considered extremely bad. There were many people who originally supported Otto for this imperial meeting. However, since the temporary recess, the situation has changed sharply. Frederick III, the elector of Saxony who had previously supported Otto III, was silent, even withdrawing a large number of Saxon nobles. Then, as soon as the other nobles saw the wrong situation, they all gave up Schaumburg ...

In this regard, Otto III had ten thousand MMPs to talk about, but he dared not speak out. Why? Schaumburg is too weak ...

As a small unborn country with an area of ​​more than 600 square kilometers, Schaumburg's strength is not worth mentioning. He wouldn't dare to borrow a hundred guts from Otto III if he wanted to face Malin Gang directly.

But snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. In Germany, the great powers speak based on strength. The survival of a small country depends mainly on hugging the thighs and hugging the group.

The strength of a small country alone is not enough to protect itself. Therefore, relying on a strong country, or forming an alliance with a bunch of effects to protect oneself, has become their way of survival. But generally speaking, it is more popular to find a strong country to hold the thigh. Because, if a group of small countries organizes themselves to protect themselves, it may not be so strong. Even some alliances of small countries may not have beaten a powerful country. Therefore, relying on powerful princes is the mainstream way for small countries to survive.

But who's thigh to hug? Obviously, each of the Seven Electors is a big thick leg. Therefore, behind every electorate, a group of little princes begging to embrace their thighs. Then, a faction was formed. For example, the Saxony department. The countries of these princes are close to the territory of Saxony, and they are always headed by the electorate of the Saxony electorate; three religious electors, each behind a group of bishops of the bishopric state; behind the Palatinate electorate, a group of middle-Rhine River The princes of the small countries; the electorate of Brandenburg said that the northeast of Germany was the only one ... Only the kingdom of Bohemia, because it is located in the remote southeast of Shenluo, was also blocked by the powers of Saxony and Bavaria, and it is not bordered by other small countries. Therefore, the king of Bohemia is the youngest among the seven electors, but there is also such a small group ...

In addition, as the royal family, the Habsburg family was accompanied by a group of younger brothers, such as the princes of the Swabian League, and George Duke of Saxony, who had a bad relationship with Frederick III. It can be said that this small group of the Habsburg family is not weaker than any other small group in Germany. The bad is bad. Other small groups have embraced a larger group, the League of Princes, because Maximilian I had expressed his ambition to unite Germany. Then, the small group of the Habsburg family is not worth mentioning ...

In addition, some powerful dukes also have their own small groups. For example, the Principality of Bavaria does not have to depend on any group, and it also gathers a group of princes to become one. Marlin's old friend John II, Duke of Cliff, does not need to depend on any elector. Because, he had already formed a marriage alliance with William IV, Duke of Julich-Berg. The Principality of Jülich, the Principality of Berg, the Principality of Cliff and the Principality of Marke are not very strong, but the gathering of the four princes is also a force not to be underestimated, and there is no need to hold the thighs of others. Of course, John II is not stupid, but he has become the No. 1 German beater of Marin, and he is not afraid to use force ...

Speaking of that, the Schomburg is on the edge of the Principality of Lüneburg, holding the thighs of the Principality of Lüneburg. However, the Principality of Lüneburg itself embraces the thighs of the Elector of Saxony. Therefore, Schaumburg is also regarded as the younger brother of the Saxony family, no, it is the younger brother of the younger brother.

(Note: The State of Schaumburg, on the Chinese map of Shenluo in 1648, is the State of Lipper. However, the State of Lipperburg after the merger of the State of Schaumburg and the State of Lipper is probably It was caused by Wuxi and marriage. The original Schaumburg and Lipper were not so big. This map is available on the map of the Emperor ’s Rise, you can go to a certain post to see it.)

Originally, Otto III also counted on the "boss" of Elector Frederick III of Saxony to help him to protect Recklinghausen. After all, although Frederick III ’s constituency of Saxony does not work well (it also depends on who it compares with, certainly not that of Malimbi), it has a very high reputation in the German princehood. It is very convincing to come forward.

Sure enough, although the situation was not good at first, Otto III finally saw some hope. However, when the boss's boss abandoned him, he could only desperately accept the reality of losing the Recklinghausen area. So ah, as a country, it takes its own hard work to make iron. It is not safe to expect a strong ally. What if allies abandoned you? It is ultimately inappropriate to give fate to others. Just like in the next half of March, why do you desperately engage in atomic bombs? Not to control your own destiny? Although the neighboring countries are very uneasy, for North Korea, they have confidence. With the atomic bomb, when he went to talk about peace with people in March and a half, they would be regarded as the root of others. If there is no atomic bomb, holding a begging bowl to talk to people about peace, you may be slammed into your face ...

Therefore, the interaction and wrestling between the countries, the fist of their own fists is the last word. If the fist is not big, it can only be used as a dog. Later generations, even the world's top rich countries like Japan, because they have no fists, they can only treat Lao Mei as a dog. Even fighters among local tyrants like Saudi Arabia must kneel and lick the United States ...

Before going through ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Marin always feels very funny about the fact that China's economic volume ranks second in the world because of China's economic volume, and it is very funny.

Even if the economy comes up, it will still not be able to compete for the status of boss. Unless, there is a strong force matching it. But even after the information explosion in the later generations, many people still do not understand this truth, and always lament and sigh there. Of course, this may also be a kind of public opinion guidance.

But in fact, until Marin crossed, Huaxia's army failed to be world-class. Even if there is an aircraft carrier, they are second-hand goods of the last century. The J20 blown to the sky, the engine turbofan 15 is a joke ... so to speak, J20 is a martial arts expert with heart disease ...

Therefore, until Marin passed through, Huaxia was still old and beautiful, and Treasure Island was still under control ...

Therefore, after crossing, in this life, Marin madly developed military affairs, and he was even unwilling to abolish the serfdom and the parliamentary cooking. Why? Because that will affect the country's combat power. In this dangerous age, there is nothing more reassuring than holding a sword in your hand and defending yourself ... The Prussian route is Marlin's first choice.

The ancients talked about "poor text and rich martial arts". Why should the rich learn martial arts? It ’s very simple. It ’s easy to be robbed if you do n’t learn martial arts and get rich ... the poor have nothing to worry about, so you can study with peace of mind ...

...

Coincidentally, both Marin and Otto III returned from the north. In a small town, the two teams happened to meet. Otto III glared at Marin with a look that could not wait to eat Marin. But Marin didn't care, and also proudly measured his fist at Otto III-look, the big fist of the casserole, ask are you afraid?

Of course, Otto III was afraid, so in the end he didn't dare to turn his face, who called Schaumburg's fist too small ...
