The Rise of the European Emperor

East of the East Frisian capital of Aurich, the first students of the spy school have finally graduated. Then, they're going to come out for an internship...

Originally, Marin planned to train the No. 100 students to become super spy like 007. However, reality is impossible. why? Because these students have no culture, no culture!

After all, they are all selected from the commoners, and there is almost no culture. At most, it is just a talent. But because of their civilian origin, these people are likely to be poorly educated. Therefore, there are only a dozen or so students of all No. 100 students. Although they have never been to school, they later learned a little bit of writing and arithmetic when they were apprentices. They didn't even graduate from primary school, at most the level of the second grade of primary school.

Even so, the dozen or so spy students at the second-grade level of the elementary school were also trained as top students by the spy school...

Therefore, it is impossible for these uneducated students to be proficient in several languages ​​like 007. Being proficient in Frisian (which can be taken as English) and German, like a Frisian cadet, is tough.

Moreover, the first batch of spy trainees, the main mission areas, are Denmark, Saxony and Brandenburg. Therefore, the students selected this time are mainly students who can speak Danish and High German in the eastern region. The Frisians, who were naturally proficient in Frisian and German, cultivated only a handful of them. Their mission direction is also the Netherlands and England.

At the graduation ceremony, the vice-principal Kohler (it's Marin, who was staying in Rome and couldn't make it to the graduation ceremony) delivered a warm speech and issued certificates of completion to the students...

Why a Certificate of Completion? Special meow, a spy who only trains for one year, is eligible to get a diploma? It's almost enough to give a certificate of completion...

Under normal circumstances, these guys have to be cultivated for at least 5 years. Among them, at least 3 years are used to study cultural courses. Because, these people's cultural foundation is too bad... Have you ever seen an illiterate spy who can't understand intelligence?

So, strictly speaking, this batch of spies is not qualified. At best, it is only better than the traditional group of "bag inquiries" level spies under Kohler.

After all, when these people were selected, they were carefully selected by Marin according to the requirements of later generations. First of all, in terms of appearance, it must be ordinary, neither too handsome nor too ugly. Because, whether it is handsome or ugly, it is easy to attract the attention of the enemy. And ordinary looking, with a public face that is not easy to be remembered, is what spies need most.

The second is to ask Han Hou to point your face. At first glance, you look like an honest person, and it is not easy for people to suspect you. Many of the "bag inquiries" spies recruited by Kohler are sceptical, or have sly eyes, and they don't look like good people at first glance. This kind of person can easily be seen through by enemy counterintelligence professionals.

And the spy trainees chosen by Marin all have simple and honest faces and look like fools. Would you suspect that they are spies?

Moreover, the spy gates of the spy school are specially trained. That is, when stalking, the eyes must not be erratic, but must be natural, so as not to be found by the target to be strange.

Under such strict training, it is only natural that the students of the spy school are stronger than Kohler's "Baotou" level spies.

It's just that these spy students are too poorly educated, and it is a problem whether they can understand more complicated intelligence. So, when they graduate, the title is not a spy, but a trainee spy... Anyway, that's what Marin stipulated...

Coincidentally,

As soon as these trainee spies graduated, they got an internship opportunity—George, Duke of Saxony, has gathered the army into East Frisian territory. Doesn’t this give trainee spies a chance to train?

Except for the more than 30 Danish spies who were excluded because they were not good at German, more than 60 trainee spies were sent to inquire about the intelligence of the Saxony coalition.

What are you doing for information? Naturally, it was passed on to Charles II, Duke of Geddes...

This time, Marin firmly hoped that the Saxony coalition would be defeated. Therefore, when secretly providing weapons and armor to the Gedes army, he also planned to disclose the intelligence of the coalition to the Principality of Gedes.

As for how to get spies into the coalition? This is too simple - aren't there 4,000 Flemish fighters belonging to the Habsburg family in the coalition? As the emperor's subordinate, Marin sent people to provide food and various services to the Flemish Legion. Is it normal? Even George must take a high look at the 4,000 Flemish Legionnaires. Because it was the people sent by the emperor.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Flemish Legion is indeed high, and it will definitely be placed in an important position by George. For example, when the main force of the flank or something...

Having learned from the previous failure, George, Duke of Saxony, did not rush into West Friesland this time, but practiced battle formations in East Friesland. At the same time, it is also a unified organization of all team members and assignments. For example, how many people are in this unit, should it be arranged in the center or on the left, or on the right... Or, it should be used as a reserve...

Because the Flemish Legion has good combat effectiveness, it must be put into the main battle force, either the main force on the left or the main force on the right. In the name of condolences to the Flemish Legion, Kohler frequently dispatched trainee spies to enter the Flemish Legion's station and secretly inquire about news.

The Flemish Legion also welcomed the East Frisian lazy people who couldn't help bringing bread and meat. After all, the food consumption of 4,000 people is also terrifying. The East Frisian lazy was willing to take part in the expenses, and the generals of the Flemish Legion were happy to see it.

It's just that they don't know that there are many spies who are sending bread and meat to them. They are secretly keeping the information of the coalition forces, including the Flemish Legion, in their hearts, intending to use it as information and pass it on to Gerdes Duke Charles II.

For this reason, Marin sent a special letter to Charles II, Duke of Geddes, asking them to take it easy after the fight. It's best not to beat the Flemish Legion, which belonged to the Habsburg family, too badly.

why? The Geddes army defeated the Allied Saxons without much problem. After all, it is not easy for the Saxons to come from the southeastern region of Germany, spanning most of Germany, and fighting for hegemony in the northwest. Therefore, if the Geddes army defeated the Saxon army, it was defeated, and if it was killed, it was also killed, and it was not a big problem.

However, the Flemish Legion is different... That is the elite of the Habsburg family in the Netherlands. If they were beaten badly by the Gedes Duchy, it would be tantamount to offending the emperor.

Violently offended the emperor, the emperor must have revenge. The Habsburgs controlled the Netherlands, and West Frisian and the Geddes company were close at hand. If you offend this evil neighbor, just wait for the beatings to continue.

Moreover, the most important thing is - Marin is the emperor's younger brother...

If the emperor decides to take revenge on the Principality of Gedes, as the emperor's hard-core younger brother, Marin may also need to send troops to participate in the war.

This time Marin avoided the emperor and refused to help the Principality of Saxony to fight, which was excusable. After all, George's Principality of Saxony had a grudge against Marin, and it was only natural that Marin would not send troops to help the Saxons.

But when it was the Habsburg family's turn to officially lead the army, it was different. Marin, the "hardcore" of the Habsburg family, is obliged to send troops...

So Marin told Charles II that it would be fine to overthrow the coalition, but it was better to avoid doing too much damage to the Flemish Legion. Otherwise, once Maximilian I decides to take revenge on the Principality of Gedes, Marin and his East Frisian, he must send troops to help...

And Kohler sent trainee spies into the coalition camp to inquire, also in order to obtain the layout of the coalition battlefield. At the very least, it was possible to know which wing the Flemish Legion would be assigned to. In this way, after sending the information to the Guedes, Charles II can also let the army avoid the side where the Flemish Legion is located and attack the other side. In this way, even if the Duchy of Geddes was victorious, the emperor would not have offended him to death, causing the Habsburg army to retaliate. And Marin, there is no need to send troops to fight with the army of the Principality of Gede...
