Chapter 1308 I, Ma Hansan, are back!
The next day, Navy Secretary Kidd arranged five "250" class armed merchant ships, left Emden Port with great fanfare, and went to sea to "find Marin".
And Marin actually went out to sea with the ship. Of course, he did not disclose his identity, but wrapped in a black robe and quietly boarded the ship under the cover of his subordinates. He also boarded the ship quietly with him, the super guard Kahn.
And his escorts who stayed in Wilhelmshaven had long received news that they had boarded the ship from Wilhelmshaven and headed to Newcastle Harbor.
When Marin's fleet arrives at Newcastle Harbor, he will join the escorts and the Little Columbus fleet. Then, he will return to Emden again, pretending to be "hard" back.
In order to be realistic, Marin ordered:
"Cut off the mast on the boat for me and then pick it up!"
Little Columbus was confused - What is the good ship, why cut off the mast?
Marin explained patiently - didn't we say we encountered a storm? The masts of storm are easily broken. Otherwise, how can we "drift with the wind"?
Sailing ships encounter storms. Either the mast breaks and the ship drifts with the wind. If the mast is constantly pressing against the storm, maybe the entire ship will be blown over, and everyone will have to finish the game...
Marin plays the role of a person who "returns hard after encountering a storm", not the undead, so he can only choose the script of "the mast is broken"...
As for where to drift, Marin has also selected the script - since Bodgor and the others are drifting to Mauritius, then let's drift to Reunion Island...
Both islands are located in the South Indian Ocean in the southeast of Africa, and are not very far away, which makes logical sense. If someone suspects... I will show you the map, if you don’t believe it, go find it yourself!
What Malin did this time was a major event of annexing the eight vassal states, so he was naturally careless and could not leave any handles. Even if he lies, he had to have a basis. Otherwise, if someone really went to verify it later, it would be bad if it was exposed. If it was revealed, the Imperial Princes Court would not recognize the result...
...
After cutting off the mast and repairing it, Marin acted again, causing someone to destroy the side of the ship and made many holes. Then, he asked someone to fill the holes with wood. In order to make it more decent and fill the holes, he deliberately made it very careless and sloppy. This can better prove that the ship was indeed stormed...
Then, little Columbus watched helplessly as Marin made someone turn the originally good ship into a beggar's ship... that was so broken...
Moreover, for the remaining 7 ships, Marin refused to let them go back, and only four were allowed to go back. As for the other 3 ships, Marin directly asked them to sail to America and listen to them. Then, he directly prepared to declare that those three ships were "dead"...
...
Just as Marin was making various preparations in Newcastle Harbor, the eight princes of the eight kingdoms outside Oldenburg were also gathered to discuss the matter...
"Well, have you heard of it? It is said that the guy Marin came back with another 10 ships from the East. Do you think that guy Marin will come back?" Earl of Ravensburg and Antonios, Earl of Schaumburg, said with some anxiety.
Hearing this, the faces of the four weak vassal states, Otto VIII, Earl of Benthheim-Tecklenburg, Simon V, Earl of Liper, Magnus I, Duke of Saxony-Laugh, and John I, Earl of Ritterberg, all changed their faces.
Living around the Beihai Kingdom was under great pressure on these four small vassal states. They had been afraid that Malin would suddenly become interested in their territory and then annex their land.
The country of Ritberg was better, and Bishop Conrad reached a relatively friendly agreement with Marin. The relationship between the two countries is not bad.
But with the death of Bishop Conrad, John I knew that there was no buffer between the Ritberger and the North Sea Kingdom. Once the North Sea Kingdom took back the South Münster area, the Ritberger, which was close to the South Münster area, was exposed to the North Sea Kingdom's military front...
As for the other three small vassal states, they were also trembling. After all, Malin's reputation was too great before, and he was simply invincible...
Even the two powerful Dukes of Henry in the main position changed their faces...
Only Earl of Gelden Charlie smiled and said:
"What are you afraid of? How can people avoid sea storms? Also, this time Marin did not come back with the ship, and the hope of returning is extremely slim."
After a pause, Charlie continued:
"As for the Beihai Kingdom sending a fleet to search for deserted islands in the South Indian Ocean this time, there is no need to worry! I heard that it takes nearly a year for a ship to travel from Beihai Kingdom to India. But it takes at least half a year to reach the southern Indian Ocean, right?"
"They have just sent a fleet to search now. Even if they go, they will find Marin. It will take more than a year to go back and forth. In more than a year, we have completely wiped out the Beihai Kingdom. Even if that guy Marin really comes back, he will be powerless to turn things around!"
"But that guy can't be underestimated. You know, he was just a wandering knight at the beginning, and he was able to survive to this point, with amazing ability. Even if we snatch the Beihai Kingdom, he wouldn't be able to pull up a team to fight us and retake the Beihai Kingdom!" Earl Antonios said worriedly.
Charlie, Earl of Gelden, was almost madly angry - what does this guy mean? Do you want to give up by saying dejected words at this critical moment? Moreover, it hurts morale very much...
However, he did not argue with the other party directly, but thought about it and said:
"After we conquer Orich, we can control Mrs. Angela and Little Caesar. In this way, even if Marin can come back alive, his wife and children are in our hands, and we will not dare to act rashly!"
"This idea is good! Mrs. Angela is his only wife, and Little Caesar is his only son. As long as Mrs. Angela is in our hands, he will not be able to marry and have children (Note: European nobles cannot easily divorce and remarry unless specially approved by the Pope). Little Caesar is his only legal offspring, and in our hands, he will definitely be afraid of the mouse. Without his wife and children, even if he struggles, it will be meaningless! This method is feasible!" Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbitel, said in surprise.
They were right. If Angela and Caesar were really in their hands, Marin wouldn't dare to act rashly. But the question is - is this possible?
However, after saying this, the self-confidence of the eight princes has returned and no longer panic.
"So, now we have to make up our minds to conquer Oldenburg soon. After all, Orich, who is more difficult to conquer than Oldenburg, is waiting for us! If we can't conquer Orrich, the plan to control Mrs. Angela and Caesar's little is just empty talk!" Henry, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, concluded.
"Okay, strengthen the attack!" Several other princes also expressed their unanimous statement!
...
But they didn't know that just when they were in the meeting, Marin had already tossed the ship, and then took his men to board the four broken ships and started returning to Emden...
On the vast North Sea, Marin stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the shadow of the southern German coastline, and suddenly felt very passionate. So he stood on the bow of the boat and shouted excitedly:
Chapter completed!
