Chapter 1236 I want the mine in Mount Harts!

However, Marin knew that although he now has 5,000 Cossacks, these 5,000 Cossacks cannot fight tough battles for the time being. Because these Cossacks have no experience in fighting tough battles and lack experience in management.

The authentic Cossacks recruited from the Eastern European prairie are brave but lack discipline. Moreover, although many of them have had combat experience before, they are mostly small-scale battles of horse thieves fighting each other. They are also inexperienced in fighting thousands of people.

As for the 1,500 German Cossacks, let alone. Although these people are more obedient and disciplined than genuine Cossacks, their personal martial arts are not as good as those genuine Cossacks. Moreover, they have never fought wars and lack combat experience.

So, although the 10 Cossack cavalry regiments are very intimidating, their actual combat effectiveness is hard to say. Marin is sure that this group of people has no problem fighting with the wind. But when encountering a windy battle, it is hard to say. Because the biggest feature of the herdsman army is that it is good at running away...

The army on the grassland does not like to fight with people. They usually come and kill when they see the cheaper ones, and immediately hide away when they encounter hard bones. If they like to fight hard, no grassland nation is the opponent of the farming nation. It is with this almost rogue tactic that the grassland cavalry has firmly restrained the army of the farming nation.

Therefore, Marin never expected these Cossack cavalry to help him fight tough battles. The one who really fought against the enemy had to rely on the regular army formed by German mountain people and farmers. Because these people had no horses and could not escape. They either chose to defeat the enemy or were defeated. As for wanting to escape, infantry could not escape...

As for Cossacks, it is not useless. For example, Marin planned to let these Cossacks attack their opponent's grain transport teams in cavalry regiments. Faced with those second-tier transporters, these Cossacks could still easily bully them.

Originally, Marin planned to let these Cossacks go to the Americas and the Indian natives to fight a few games and meet the bloody ones. After all, it is easy for new recruits who have never seen blood to go to the battlefield rashly, and it is easy for them to have problems. Especially the 1,500 German Cossacks are all standard recruits, and they basically have no combat experience. They rashly pull over to the decisive battle, which is very easy for chaos.

However, with the dispatch of the coalition of princes, the curtain of the war had already begun, and Malin had no time to train those newcomers. Therefore, he could only drive the ducks to put them on the shelves first...

"Kowler, go and call Schwartz and Stade and others, I want to issue an order!" Marin has not yet made a public appearance, so it is difficult to directly order, so he can only issue orders through Schwartz and others.

Soon, Schwartz and Stad arrived at the house and entered the secret room to listen to Marin's orders. Under Marin's instructions, Schwartz and Stadd ordered the formation of 10 Cossack cavalry regiments in the name of the representative of the "Five-Man Regent" army, and the 10 cavalry regiments formed a Cossack cavalry regiment. At the same time, Arthas, the commander of the First Cossack Cavalry regiment was appointed as the acting commander of the Legion.

At the same time, the two also signed an order to order the Acting Commander of the Alsace Legion immediately to convene all 10 cavalry regiments to carry out an overall march and rushing exercise across the Jutland Peninsula.

In fact, the exercise is just a cover. Once these 10 Cossack cavalry regiments start exercises, they will not go back. Because the war is about to begin. These 10 Cossack cavalry regiments will soon be put into the battlefield.

Moreover, it should be pointed out that Marin's strategic goals have also been greatly adjusted this time...

...

Originally, Malin thought that during the period when he "scamd death", a group of vassal states would form a coalition force to attack Beihai and take advantage of it.

But through intelligence, Malin knew that the princes did not take the Beihai Kingdom, which had "lost themselves", seriously, but ran to beat the emperor.

Therefore, Malin, who had originally planned to face the coalition of princes, immediately adjusted his plan and planned to only deal with the few princes that covet the secrets of the Beihai Kingdom.

Moreover, it was a coincidence that none of the vassal states that coveted the secrets of the Beihai State did not join the coalition of the princes. Because they planned to take advantage of the Beihai State's chaotic opportunity when the Beihai State "lost Malin".

In this way, what Marin needs to face is just a few neighboring vassal states. If he does not face the vassal coalition forces, the pressure will be much smaller.

Although the results will be much smaller, it is much better than being hostile to most princes. Moreover, Marin plans to completely destroy these unfriendly neighbors this time and establish a strong power. Especially for a certain principality next to him, Marin plans to kill him this time.

Of course, the reason why Marin wanted to reorganize a certain principality on the side this time was that in addition to the other party's coveting the secret of the high grain yield of the Beihai country, Marin coveted the other party's resources.

In addition to its vast area, this principality also has a very attractive place to Marin - there are potassium salt mines in the other country...

In fact, most of the potassium salt produced by Marin agricultural production comes from the salt mines in the Harz Mountains in the principality. Every year, when Marin transports potassium salt from the country, he will be extorted by the duke for a large amount of taxes. If Marin had not arranged for his hidden identity to do this, and the potassium salt would not have been transported directly to the Beihai Kingdom, perhaps the secret of potassium salt would have been caught by the other party.

Therefore, Marin decided to take this opportunity to completely destroy the principality. If possible, it would be best to directly eliminate and annex. You should know that the Harz Mountains not only contain potassium salt, but also copper, lead, zinc, silver and other minerals. Moreover, the reserves of silver mines are not low. The Lammersberg Mine near the famous city of Goslar is a famous lead, zinc and silver mine in Germany. From 968 in the Middle Ages to 1988, about 27 million tons of silver mines, gold mines, lead, zinc mines and copper mines were mined. It is said that the famous mathematician Leibniz worked as a mining engineer at the Harz Silver Mine.

Also, Broken Hill, the highest mountain in the Harz Mountains, is also very famous. Even Broken Hill, a famous lead, zinc and silver mining city in Australia in later generations, is named after Broken Hill in the Harz Mountains. In fact, Broken Hill Hill is hill, which means hill.

The reason why Broken Hill in Australia was named the same as Broken Hill in the Harz Mountains was because Britain was ruled by the Hannover royal family at that time (Queen Victoria belonged to the Hannover family), and Broken Hill in the Harz Mountains happened to belong to the Hannover Kingdom. Later, after colonizing Australia, it was probably the lead-zinc and silver mine in Broken Hill, which reminded the discoverers at that time that Broken Hill in the Hannover Kingdom, which also produced lead-zinc and silver, so they gave the same name.

Of course, the lead, zinc and silver mine reserves in the Harz Mountains cannot keep up with the Broken Hill mine in Australia, but in Europe, this is also a big mine. After all, this can be mined for thousands of years.
