This three-step strategy is much safer than Cortez's approach in history. Cortez in history originally sent troops completely with his passion. After arriving at the Aztec Empire, he was lucky and was mistaken for the "White God" envoy and regarded as a guest of honor. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the barbarians of the Aztec Empire to worship the sky.

As for the enemies who later united the Aztec Empire, it was a coincidence. Who told him that he had a local lover named Marina? There was a local Erwuzi and a leading party, so it was naturally much more convenient to do things.

In short, Cortez is a lucky man who relied on his passion to Mexico, but he made a mistake in making contributions.

Later, Pizarro was probably stimulated by Cortez's luck. After all, Cortez later got to the high position of the Marquis. Before conquering Mexico, Cortez was just a noble child without inheritance. Of course, Pizarro also took the risk...

If it were Marin's three-step strategy, it would be much more stable than Cortez's approach. After all, in terms of military strategy, "knowing yourself and your enemy will never win a hundred battles." As a scheming monarch, Marin would not place hope on luck, so it would be better to be safer.

Moreover, using the Aztecs to mine silver mines on their own in the early days was also a great move. Marin provided technically advanced smelting furnaces and provided experts to help explore mines, which would definitely greatly increase the silver output of the Aztec Empire.

However, the Aztecs were relatively ignorant after all, almost like Lao Hei. Even if they obtained a large amount of silver, Marin could easily exchange silver from the Aztecs with cheap goods, such as glass beads, etc., and then bring it back to Europe to solve the money shortage problem.

Westerners used this method very well in later generations. They used scissors to purchase minerals from African Lao Hei at a low price. Then, they sold industrial products at a high price to make huge profits. Unfortunately, later generations had a monster country like China, and they were a messy country that sold money. Then, European and American industries were so unlucky. Your products were sold for $10, right? The US dollar of China was sold. Lao Hei was poor, so of course he bought bargains... Therefore, there was no reason for later Europeans and Americans to hate China. Because their jobs were smashed...

In other words, if there were no troublemakers, Marin could have used the scissors gap or more abnormal tricks to acquire a large amount of silver from the Aztecs at a low price. Then, he would use it to mint the money and use it for trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, when the Aztecs felt something was wrong and wanted more, they sent troops to take Mexico in one fell swoop. By then, Marin had already completed infiltration of most parts of Mexico. The army also had specific goals and would never bump into it like a headless fly.

Malin learned this trick from the Japanese. Although Malin is more hostile to the Japanese, it has to be said that the Japanese did make a lot of preparations invading China back then. For example, they sent a lot of spies to enter China to survey and map maps to prepare for their future entry into China.

The same was true for Marin's plan - he first sent engineers to guide the Aztecs to develop silver mines, and then expanded the scale of trade. In this way, a large number of merchants would enter the territory of the Aztec Empire. Marin would send spies to dress up as merchants, wander around the Aztec Empire, survey and map the map, and mark the terrain. Then, after the war of conquest began, the army could quickly attack important targets.

In fact, this move can not only be used in the Aztec Empire, but also in the Inca Empire. As long as you are well prepared, you can take it in one fell swoop...

...

The reason why Marin changed his mind and did not send troops to force Mexico immediately was because he was dissuaded by Kohler. Kohler asked Marin - Why did you occupy Mexico for?

Marin naturally said it was for silver, but Kohler asked - if the other party took the initiative to mine silver and exchanged it for you at a low price, why would he have to conquer violently? In addition, if you really defeat the Aztec Empire, that would be a pit...

If the Aztec Empire is really conquered, it will definitely not be concealed. At that time, it will be difficult to keep the news that Mexico produces silver.

It would be troublesome at that time. If Marin was not prepared enough, Spain and Portugal would definitely flock in to compete with Marin for territory. What? You said the agreement? This thing can be torn up at any time, as long as the benefits are great...

Therefore, Marin was frightened by this...

Yes, if the Aztec Empire is really captured, it is unlikely to hide it. At that time, Mexico, a silver country, will be exposed to the world. Then, Mexico's silver production is definitely not in the paper. Then, Spain and Portugal will definitely not be able to hold back. As for other countries, not many are good...

So, Marin endured the temptation to annex Mexico now, and instead supported the Aztec Empire to vigorously develop silver mines. Then, he used it to trade with himself.

Moreover, it is not easy to attract attention if it annexes Mexico a little later. When France and Spain have a large-scale fight and attract the attention of Europe, Marin can quietly send people to build the Aztec Empire. Because everyone's attention has been attracted...

...

Now, for Marin, the most important thing is not to send troops to annex Mexico, but to develop the navy with all its might. For example, vigorously build ships and recruit sailors. When you can fight and sweep away the warships that others covet Mexico, you can "officially announce it". At that time, even if someone is jealous, it is useless. Because Marin's strength can already crush those challengers...

Another point is that it needs to cover the silver produced in Mexico. Therefore, Marin needs to "fabricate" another silver production place. For example, Marin has long thought about Japan...

Japan is indeed a place of silver production, and it is far away in the eastern part of the Far East. At that time, the treaty signed by Marin stipulated that Japan was a colony of the North Sea Kingdom.

If Marin used the excuse that these silvers were made in Japan, it would be no big problem. Not to mention that many countries did not have routes to Japan, even if they had one, it would be difficult to place their strength in the Far East.

Then, Marin could acquire silver from Mexico at a low price, while lied that "these silver is made in Japan". In this way, the world's eyes turned to the East. Marin could hide in the Americas and make a fortune quietly...
