Marin shook his head secretly, feeling a pity in his heart. You know, those are two major kingdoms! Not to mention the Bohemia Kingdom, the Hungarian Kingdom is one of the European powers. Because, including Transylvania, its territory area is about 200,000 square kilometers, which is larger than Austria and the Netherlands combined. Moreover, the population is still 4 million. Its only disadvantage is probably that it faces the threat of Turkey and is at the forefront of the war.

In addition to the Kingdom of Hungary, there are also the powerful Bohemia Kingdom, the Principality of Silesia, and the Moravian region, which are all governed by Vladislas II.

In other words, compared with the Austro-Hungarian Empire before World War I, the two were only one Austria apart. Even because most of the Principalities of Silesia did not belong to the Austro-Hungarian Empire in their later generations, the territory of Vladislas II is no less than that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in their later generations.

Marin's heart was bleeding when he gave such a large territory to Austria. However, he had no suitable offspring to take over. He had only Caesar, one son, and his age was suitable for marrying Princess Anna, and his second son William was still very young. Moreover, even if he did not interfere, Princess Anna would marry Ferdinand.

Speaking of which, it is in line with Marin's interests that the Habsburg family is divided into two powerful forces. But the premise is that the Habsburg family must withstand the attacks of domestic princes and Turks.

If Marin's diplomatic outreach was much better than now, he would definitely allow Ferdinand and Anna to marry, and then divide the Habsburg family into two powerful branches.

But Marin's own situation is also very bad, so he needs a MT who helps to mock the entire Germany for him, and even mock France for him, and is also responsible for resisting Turkey's attack. Then, the Beihai Kingdom hid behind and focused on developing.

Therefore, this has high requirements for the Habsburg family. If it is divided into two countries, then the Austrian lineage, which is the main lineage, may not be willing to mobilize all resources to help Ferdinand resist the pressure from Turkey. At that time, if Türkiye defeats Hungary and Bohemia, then things will be a bit big.

If the Kingdom of Hungary and Bohemia are all affiliated with the main line of the Habsburg family, it will be different. At that time, the Habsburg family can use the resources of the entire territory. They can use the power of Austria to help fight against Türkiye, or they can use the power of Hungary and Bohemia to fight against the alliance of France and Germany.

The most important thing is that the big tree attracts wind!

Just imagine, if the Habsburg families in Austria, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and then annexed two major countries with crowns, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Bohemia, can it not cause jealousy in Europe?

By then, the hatred in Europe will be pulled over by the Habsburg family, and I will be much more relaxed. Moreover, for Marin, England is indeed more important than Hungary and Bohemia. After all, England has seized the sea route from Germany to the Atlantic Ocean and did not annex England, and if it is controlled by others, it will repeat the tragedy of Germany in later generations.

Marin remembers that Turkey's Suleiman Emperor was 22 years old and would succeed the throne in a few years and launch a full-scale attack on Europe. At that time, Rajosh II, the son of Vladislas II, would probably be overwhelmed. Then, Austria would easily have won the two major powers of Hungary and Bohemia for nothing. It was only a few years later, but from then on, the Habsburg family would probably be busy with resisting the Turkish offensive. Without the financial support of the Spanish Empire in history, the Habsburg family would definitely be at a disadvantage. At that time, he would be busy dealing with the princes in northern Germany, and the Habsburg family would not dare to oppose it. Because Marin could conclude that they would still need their own help at that time.

In the end, the Habsburg family, who were in a dilemma between Türkiye and France, would probably have to agree to occupy the small Germany and share the world with Austria. Otherwise, as long as they change their position, Austria will collapse.

Even Marin thought that if possible, he could use a certain southern territory to exchange the Netherlands in the future, so that the entire Netherlands would become the territory of the North Sea Kingdom. However, this would lead to a direct border with France... It would be very unsafe...

In the secret room, Marin's mind had spread and began to be stunned...

At this moment, Maximilian I suddenly couldn't help asking:

"Marlin, I remember you opened the Haagen-Dazs ice cream chain? Do you want all the noble ladies in Europe to be infertile?"

Yes, what Marin just now told Maximilian I was the secret that it was easy to get infertile if you eat too much ice cream...

Marlin suddenly turned dark and said in a muffled voice:

"How could I be so squint? Am I also a victim, okay? At the beginning, my wife Angela loved to eat ice cream, and after giving birth to Caesar, she was infertile for many years. It was not until later that I invited a court doctor with great medical skills from the Ming Empire in the far east that I discovered this problem. Then, William was born..."

Maximilian I thought about it and it was true. After Caesar was left, Marin's wife seemed to have given birth to her second child William for many years. Therefore, Marin herself was taller than ice cream and she was definitely cheating herself by accident.

"Then why don't you announce this risk?" the emperor asked.

Marin asked meaningfully:

"So, your majesty, are you going to make this issue public?"

Maximilian I thought about it, finally shook his head and said:

"Although I feel it's immoral, as an emperor, keeping secrets is indeed the best choice."

"Yes, there are too many European princes. If many of them have no successors, it will help the unification of Germany. Your Majesty, promoting ice cream well will be helpful for you to recover the territory of those princely states..." Marin smiled inexplicably.

But Maximilian I's eyes lit up, and then asked Marin:

"So, can you teach my chef how to make the delicious ice cream from the Haagen-Dazs chain?"

Marin was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"What? Your Majesty figured it out and wanted to open an ice cream shop on the enemy's territory?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not thinking about this at all:

"I just wanted to arrange for my granddaughter Mary to be a chef who is good at making ice cream..." Maximilian I said a cruel decision in an understatement. For the future of the Habsburg family, he planned to sacrifice his granddaughter's future.

However, this sacrifice is gentle and there is no pain in the middle. On the contrary, his granddaughter will like this life of eating ice cream every day. So, it is a sweet and cruel decision...
