As the only emperor in Europe, Maximilian I was very eager to become stronger in the Habsburg family and actually unify Germany. Even unify Western Europe and establish a powerful empire like the Charlemagne Empire.

Therefore, whether France overwhelms Spain or Spain overwhelms France, it is not what Maximilian I hopes to see. In his opinion, it is best for both countries to suffer losses and then let Austria take action to deal with France and suppress Spain.

Of course, from the perspective of a pure politician, there is no problem with the choice of the emperor, which is the choice that a veteran politician should have. After all, although Spain is an in-laws and ally of the Habsburg family, it is two families.

Originally, the reason why Spain and Austria were able to beat France in history was that the monarchs of both countries were Charles V. Since they were one family, they naturally cooperated closely and worked together to beat France.

But because of Marin's intervention, Juan III did not die and gave birth to a son. Then, the two families could not merge into a family. In this way, it would not be surprising that each had his own thoughts.

In fact, in the current European competition, the Habsburg family has fallen behind. Because the Habsburg family is too poor...

Competing for hegemony also requires capital. Not to mention anything else, the money and food that the army goes to fight is a huge pit!

France is naturally not afraid. They are the largest agricultural country in the continent and have a strong foundation. Therefore, Maximilian I and France have always suffered losses. If the French had not met Spain at the same time, God would know whether the Habsburgs could protect the Netherlands and Francheconte.

Spain, an ally of the Habsburg family, was originally not much better than Austria. However, because of the great voyage, especially influenced by Marin, obtained huge profits in the Indian spice trade, its national strength rose, and it suddenly left Austria away to the point where it could fight against France alone.

In other words, the original three continental heroes have now become a confrontation between Western and French. Austria has become a spectator and can only be busy dealing with the Swiss resistance...

How could this make the arrogant Maximilian I bear it? So, even though Maximilian I understands that joining forces with England to attack Paris is the most capable of hitting France, he still chose to reject Marin's suggestion, but instead committed to dealing with the Swiss who seemed short-sighted...

If you leave Austria's assistance, England alone will be unable to attack Paris. At most, you can only harass the coastal areas in northern and western France. Like Japanese pirates, the damage caused to France will not be painful or itchy. At least, it will not cause the French to be hurt.

Therefore, the emperor's short-sighted behavior made Marin very angry!

Uncle Ma was very angry, and the consequences were very serious!

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so ignorant, Malin had evil thoughts...

"Hmph, you want to annex Switzerland, right? I won't let you do it!" The angry Marin decided to make trouble for His Majesty the Emperor...

How to make trouble? It's very simple. It's just to secretly notify Sieger and inform Goodandolph of joining the emperor's side. At the same time, support Sieger's batch of coercive guns...

Obviously, with the 16,000 new forces joining, the strength comparison on the Swiss battlefield has undergone a huge change. If it is straight forward, the Swiss will definitely lose!

But what if you don't stand upright...

Marin's plan to make trouble is very simple - if it is positive, the Swiss are definitely not the opponent of the Habsburg family army now. However, if they retreat and defend to the death, it is still OK...

But if you guard the city, it is difficult for the Swiss spearmen to resist the strength of the Habsburg family. In this way, the importance of the mesh gun comes out...

The Habsburg family did not have heavy artillery that blasted the city walls, and such heavy artillery could not be transported on the Swiss plateau. Small-caliber infantry cannons were difficult to blast the city walls or even the city gates.

As long as the Swiss retreated to the city and covered the city gate with iron sheets. Then, a batch of combs were prepared on the city wall, it would be extremely difficult for the Habsburg family to conquer the city.

In addition to defending the city and fighting against the superior forces of the Habsburg family, the Swiss Resistance Army can actually divide some troops and use the advantages of familiar terrain in the mountains of Switzerland to fight guerrillas with the Habsburg family.

The Swiss Resistance Army is composed of local mountain people and is most familiar with the local terrain. Moreover, Swiss mercenaries have strong personal combat power. If they use the local complex mountain terrain and the Habsburg family army to fight guerrilla, it is really difficult to mess with...

There are combroach defense on the top of the city, and there are also resistance troops composed of Swiss mountain citizens in the wild to capture small roads and attack from time to time. Even if the Habsburg army has the advantage in strength, it will be a headache.

If it were a plain area like the Netherlands, if there were more troops, it would naturally have an advantage. However, different from Switzerland, there were only some plains in the northern part of Switzerland, while in the western part, it was mainly mountainous, which was very suitable for guerrilla warfare.

If you can rank a small group of elite troops from a small road to the back of the Habsburg family army and attack the food and supplies, the Habsburg family will be hard to eat...

...

After the plan was made, Marin asked Kohler to find a spy whom he could absolutely trust and went to Switzerland to report to Zieg in the name of "French spy".

This is not a joke. If the news of the Swiss is leaked, Marin will be out of the crowd. After all, it is a taboo to sell off his allies. Therefore, Marin asked to find a spy who is absolutely reliable and French-speaking spy.

A few days later, the Beihai spy with the pseudonym Giroud kept changing horses along the way, and finally arrived in Bern and sent the information to Zieg, who was planning an attack...

...

Zieg was shocked when he received the secret report. He did not expect that the army of Gudendorff, who had previously said he would return to his hometown in Germany, would all turn to the emperor. After all, with the financial resources of the Habsburg family, he should not be able to afford it...

Marin has to blame for this. Previously, in order to instigate the emperor to send these people to the Netherlands to participate in the attack on Paris, he provided the emperor with a loan in advance. However, after the emperor received the loan, he turned around and said that he would take over western Switzerland first...

Giving money but not doing anything is what angered Marin...

Anyway, Uncle Ma was very angry, and the consequences were really serious!

...

Zieg was so scared that he was sweating coldly because of the lack of intelligence sources (the Swiss Resistance Army used to rely mainly on the French intelligence sharing, but when the French sent intelligence personnel to Italy, Zieg and others lacked intelligence sources). The Swiss Resistance Army did not know that Gudendorf's entire army had surrendered to His Majesty the Emperor.

According to their usual speculation, they believed that the Habsburg family had no money to hire this army, so they did not pay much attention. If they were not prepared to attack Frenzberg's army rashly, the opponent would suddenly have all 50,000 troops out, which would definitely catch the Swiss resistance army off guard.

It can be said that the information provided to him by Malin this time was considered to have saved the Swiss resistance army. At the same time, he also cheated the emperor. Humph, who told the emperor that the emperor did not listen to Uncle Ma's persuasion and even fooled him away a loan. Uncle Ma became angry, but the consequences were very serious!
