Chapter 524 The Decision to Stand on the Fence (Part 1)

When Frederick III heard Marin's words, his face changed. But after all, he was a top-notch IQ among the German princes. If Marin hadn't had the knowledge of leading hundreds of years, he would not be able to compare with him. He thought about it and quickly said:

"Are you just? When did you fight, you suffered a loss? After winning every time, you made a fortune. Not to mention the Earl of East Friesland, how many years have you been the Earl of East Friesland? You have occupied the Oldenburg, the Principality of Schleswig, the Bishop of Munster and the Bishop of Osnabrück. This area is much larger than my Saxony Electoral. If you are just, you should not compensate the other party!"

In his previous life, Marin served as a second debater and a third debater in a university debate competition. Although he had never been a main debater, he was also quick-witted. So he quickly responded:

"We need to correct the fallacy in your words - the Bishops of Munster and Bishops of Osnabrück were rewarded by the Holy See after I sent troops to help the Holy See unified Florence. This was not something I sent troops to rob, it came out openly and very glorious!"

"Where is the Principality of Schleswig? Where is the Principality of Oldenburg? I remember that the Principality of Oldenburg is still under your control unknownly!" Frederick III pointed out a very fatal problem-Marin is now occupying the Principality of Oldenburg. Moreover, because the Principality of Oldenburg is important, Marin does not want to let go.

Marin was not willing to answer Oldenburg's questions, so he avoided Oldenburg's questions and directly answered the question of the Principality of Schleswig:

"It should be noted that I am a peace-loving person and do not like to use force against others. But at the same time, I am also very disgusted with the enemy's use of force against me! I asked Denmark to ced the Principality of Schleswig to me to teach Denmark a lesson and make people understand that I am not easy to mess with. If Denmark joined forces with Oldenburg, I forced me to ced Evre and I did not fight back and gave the other party an extremely unforgettable lesson, then all the princes would think I was easy to bully. In this way, if there are princes who want to ced my Orich today, and tomorrow there are princes who want to ced my Emden tomorrow, I will have no territory in a few days..."

"Anyway, I, Marin Hoffman, do not take the initiative to attack others. But if others attack me, they will have to pay a heavy price. Otherwise, if I don't need to pay any price to attack me, then those who want to hit me will probably be able to rank from Walms to Orich!"

"Haha..." Some neutral religious princes laughed. Obviously, Marin's words also made sense.

"Then Orl..." Frederick III also wanted to talk about Oldenburg's country.

Seeing this, Marin quickly interrupted:

"I am much better than some people, and some people are vicious. If I am defeated, let alone the Duchy of Schleswig, East Friesland may not be protected. Perhaps, as a prince, I might fall into the tragic situation of going to the streets to beg for the miserable situation. Because some people are so unwilling!"

Frederick III was immediately angry and shouted:

"Don't say I'm a shady, what about you? Oldenburg's Kingdom did snatch your Yevre, but now? Haven't you occupied all Oldenburg's Kingdom? Don't you bet?"

Seeing that he could not avoid this topic, Marin had to answer this:

"The reason why I still send troops to stay in Oldenburg is because Oldenburg and I are enemies. If Oldenburg and East Friesland are close together, if they send troops to attack Orich from the border, they will arrive in less than half a day. It is too dangerous! Therefore, I will send troops to stay in Oldenburg first to supervise the military movements of Oldenburg until the Oldenburg family completely abandons hostility with me..."

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, but Marin must give an explanation. It is unlikely to make the Oldenburg family give up hostility to Marin. Therefore, Marin has some excuses to control the Oldenburg Kingdom for a long time.

"And I did not slow down on the Earls of Oldenburg's family. Their treatment was no different from usual, and they even lived a better life!" This is true. In addition to the limitation of freedom, Marin was not stingy in the consumption of food and drink for the members of the Oldenburg family, and the treatment was superior.

"But their freedom was restricted, and even the Imperial Parliament could not send anyone to participate!"

"Liberty is restricted? No. In the past, members of their family stayed in Oldenburg City and didn't go out much. Now, they can still move freely in Oldenburg City. Moreover, I recently planned to invite them to enjoy Las Vegas, the bustling new town of Elbe River. Las Vegas is very fun, there are beautiful women from the Rose area providing considerate and gentle services, and various exciting chess and card games (the church opposes gambling, so Marin can only say it a little obscure).. In short, the Earls' family will live a happy and endless life..." While explaining, Marin did not forget to advertise his own casino Las Vegas...

Frederick III was speechless, Marin was no less thick than him. He accused him of annexing Oldenburg, but Marin looked at him without changing his face, and even promoted his casino and silver nests. It was simply...

Marin then said:

"Okay, dear Lord Frederick, I am a good person. If I miss you so badly, I snatched everything from Denmark when I defeated Denmark last time. As you do, I am the king of Denmark and the king of Norway... You said yes, His Majesty Hans?"

King Hans, sitting in the carriage, snorted and turned his face away, and Frederick III was so angry that he couldn't speak...

Marin was too lazy to continue to argue with him, so he waved his hand and said:

"Okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. That's it, let's go to the city first!"

Frederick III calmed down and said:

"Entering the city? Yes, your army must park outside the city, and you can only bring a small number of guards into the city!"

Marin turned his head and said:

"Who stipulated it? Does this law require that those who lead the army into the city are not allowed?"

Frederick III was stunned and thought that there was no such decree. But everyone agreed that they knew that they could not lead the army into the city. Otherwise, what should I do if someone led the army into the city and threatened others to agree with his point of view? So Frederick III calmed down his anger and said:

"There is no specific law, but when the imperial meeting was held, no one has ever led a large army into the city! This is a conventional rule..."

"Oh..." Marin responded, and then said:

"That means, will I not violate any imperial law if I lead troops into the city? That's right, we all enter the city..."
