In the face of public opinion, Edward did not suppress it. Because he felt that Queen Anna did not need too high reputation. In England, it was enough to enjoy the respect and love of the people of the whole country alone. Of course, this was also related to Queen Anna's identity as a Frenchman. As a mortal enemy of France, Edward did not want a French-born Queen of England to have too high reputation in England.

Only when someone openly proposed to depose Queen Anna, Edward firmly refuted and punished him. In this regard, the North Sea spies led public opinion to give another point of view - His Majesty Edward has completely fallen in love with Queen Anna, so he is willing to help him conceal the identity of French spies...

This view is relatively romantic and very consistent with Europeans' imagination of love. Therefore, it spread quickly and was recognized by all over the country. In particular, it was recognized by women all over England. Then, Edward was actually given the title of "King of Infatuated Love".

But no matter what, Queen Anna couldn't wash it off even if she jumped into the Thames. However, Queen Anna was also very salty. For her, as long as her husband believed in her, she would let him go. Moreover, her origin was indeed sensitive, and she came from the arch enemy of England, and it would be strange if she was not criticized. But the couple didn't know that Marin was preparing for King Edward to get a box lunch. Once Edward received the box lunch, Queen Anna was suspected again...

In fact, even if Edward's current trust in Queen Anna is capable of destroying it. The solution is very simple - tell Edward the truth about being kicked in the past, and then, while telling Edward the truth, "artistic processing" of Queen Anna's role in it.

If Edward knew that he had no hope of having a child, he would lose his mind when he was angry. He would not only take revenge on France in a crazily, but also lose his mind when he was angry and vent his anger on Queen Anna.

However, Marin did not intend to expose the matter now, because he was not ready to take over England...

It’s not that Marin was worried that he could not control England, but that in the process of controlling England, the jealous Frenchmen would attack the North Sea and destroy his process. After all, if they wanted to control England in the chaos, they also needed to send more people. Once they were restrained by the French, things would be hard to say.

Therefore, while Marin is building roads with cement boards, he is also planning to build various fortifications and even walls on the western border to block possible armed interference from France.

Once the preparations were completed, Marin dared to launch in England. He first used the egg-kicking incident to arouse Edward's anger and triggered England's attack on France. Then, Edward got the lunch box and put the black pot on the French...

After all, Edward attacked France in anger, and the French tried to assassinate Edward. This reasoning was that through this assassination, the reason for slandering the French assassinating Edward was more sufficient - after all, they had a "criminal record"...

Marin looked carefully at the border and found that the western border was mainly bordered by the Habsburg family and the Archbishop of Utrecht. But even the Archbishop of Utrecht is also the Netherlands region of the Habsburg family to the west. And the Habsburg family could not allow the French army to cross the border at will. Because the two families are mortal enemies.

Therefore, on the border with the Netherlands and the Archbishop of Utrecht, Marin only needed to build some bunkers with beacon towers, and there was no need to invest too much.

Of course, the cement board roads that should be found should still be paved to facilitate the dispatch of troops to reinforce. If the French attacked the Beihai Kingdom, the most likely offensive route would probably be from the southwest.

The Duchy of Lorraine in the southwest is basically a pro-French vassal state, and will definitely give way to the French army. Then, the Archbishop of Trier heading northwest is the Archbishop of Trier. This vassal state is not so pro-French, but as a vassal state of church, it is very corrupt. Most of the money in its country is greedy by the priests and will not be used to form a powerful army. The Trierfini issued by the Archbishop of Trier is also one of the Finny silver coins with the lowest silver content in Germany.

Such a country is simply impossible to spend much money to form an army. Therefore, once the French army passes through, the greatest possibility is to indent their own cities and allow the French army to transit.

Although the Principality of Yulich in the north of Trier belongs to the Lamarck family, the military strength of the Lamarck family is also poor, and they cannot withstand the attack of the French army. Therefore, they are likely to be a turtle. After all, if the French army wants to dispatch, it must be an army of tens of thousands. As long as the Lamarck family does not want to die, they will not stand up to seek abuse.

The Archbishop of Cologne, north of the Principal of Yulich, is similar to the Archbishop of Trier, and will not choose to stand up to the French army and protest at most.

In the end, the most likely direction for the French to break through was to cross the river from the west of the Archbishop of Cologne, enter the territory of the Principal of Berge, and then launch an attack on the original country of Markber...

The Principality of Berg is also the territory of the Lamarc family, but it cannot stop the French. Therefore, if Marin wants to defend, the most important thing is to build fortifications in the former Markber region, the current border of the Ruhr province of the North Sea, the Principality of Berg and the Principality of Cliver, to block the direction of the French army's advance.

The most important way to block the enemy is of course to build walls or dig ditches...

However, from the cost perspective, Marin gave up the plan to fortify the area south of the Ruhr River in Ruhr Province, and instead directly followed the Ruhr River and set up defense on the north bank to block the French army's possible crossing of the river. This also facilitates concentrating forces against the enemy.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, what Marin needs to be prepared for in the end is actually the Rhine-Ruer section, which can be forged along the river east of the Rhine and north of the Ruhr River.

Of course, the part on the land border between the Münster Province and the Principal of Clifford also needs to be built to prevent the French from crossing the Principal of Clifford and attacking the land of the North Sea. After all, this road is closest to East Friesland, the core part of the North Sea.

Before building the border wall, Marin sent someone to say hello to his in-laws, Lamarck family, expressing concerns and predictions. After all, many people know about Caesar and Princess Margaret's engagement, and Marin's speculation about France's possible rebellion is not unreasonable. Therefore, the Lamarck family also expressed their understanding. Marin understood the other party better and said that if France attacked the North Sea Kingdom, the Lamarck family did not need help, they just needed to help secretly convey the message...

The fortifications built on the border or riverside are naturally cement walls or cement structure bunkers. Of course, they are all concrete structures. Because simple cement walls have poor strength.

But reinforced concrete is not available, because it is very troublesome to produce steel bars in this era and the output is very low. Marin can only ensure that core cities such as Orich, Emden, Goslar and Bochum can use reinforced concrete. Cement walls in other areas can only be made of asbestos fiber concrete. As long as it is made into a basin structure, it is still OK to prevent the bombardment of the French's small cannons.

In addition, in order to prevent the German princes from taking advantage of the situation, Marin also ordered the construction of a border wall in the southeast of the newly captured Brunswick-Wolfenbitel province, which had been the newly captured for less than two years. Because, to the southeast of this province, the Saxony Electoral State, is the most threatening area.

However, from the cost perspective, it seems that the cost of building a comprehensive border wall on land is too high. Therefore, Marin launched a second plan - setting up bunkers with beacon towers on the southern and eastern borders, and building a border wall at the junction with the Saxony Electoral State.

Then, build a second line of defense in the area close to the core of the local area...

This second line of defense is the most core part of the protection. In order to reduce the difficulty of building a line of defense, Marin built a line of defense according to the river.

Among them, the Ames River west of East Friesland Province is naturally a natural barrier, and only a defense line is required to set up in the east of the river. To the east, the Wesser River in Oldenburg Province is also a natural defense line.

As for the south, the canal between the Leda River flowing through the Lear County and the Hanter River flowing through the Oldenburg city has been built. In this way, the Leda River, the Hanter River, and that canal naturally form a water system that blocks the north and south. As long as the defense and fortifications are arranged along the two rivers and the north side of the canal, they can greatly resist the enemy's attack.

Moreover, the defense range of rivers along these three directions is much smaller, and the troops required is much less. If you are deploying along the real border, 100,000 troops will not be enough. If you only follow the three water systems and focus on defending the second line of defense, the four local legions of the Beihai Kingdom will be enough.
