Earlier, in order to unite against the kingdom of Denmark, which was still very powerful at the time, Marin, Lübeck, Hamburg and Sweden formed a four-way alliance aimed at jointly fighting against the Danish Kalmar Union.

As a result, this Quartet Alliance really overthrew the Danish Kalmar Alliance, which seemed extremely powerful before. Since then, the Quartet has all benefited enormously. Marin received compensation from a duchy, and by the way controlled the Earl of Oldenburg; Lübeck and Hamburg not only divided up the duchy of Holstein, but also eliminated the Danish navy and controlled the toll of the Øresund Strait. collection. Not only that, Lübeck and Hamburg controlled most of the Baltic Sea trade because of the complete Piovan, the sea trade rival Denmark, with great economic benefits. Strictly speaking, Lübeck and Hamburg were the biggest winners of that war.

As for Sweden, the harvest is also very large. The southern part of Sweden, which has been under the direct control of Denmark for hundreds of years, is also the most quintessential part of Sweden. Even, because of hundreds of years of domination, there are a large number of Danes in the southern coastal areas of Sweden.

According to the custom of the name, there are more people in Denmark called xxsen. And Swedes and Norwegians, there are more people called xx pine. In fact, pine and forest are just different pronunciations of the Scandinavian and Danish names, but the meanings are actually the same. For example, the famous Swedish football player Larsson is actually a descendant of Danes. Larsen was born in Helsingborg, and Helsingborg is across the sea from the Øresund Strait and the Danish island of Zealand. Before the rise of the second master of ancient times to regain the whole of Sweden, Helsingborg and other southern coastal areas of Sweden, It has always been under the rule of Denmark, and there are many Danes.

Sweden, however, took back its southern coast and it was also when Sweden began to take off. Because, with the southern coastal areas, especially the southwestern coastal areas, Sweden can break through Denmark's maritime blockade and participate in the vigorous and grand voyage.

In later generations, after Sweden gained the southern coastal area, it did engage in great voyages. For example, the famous sailing ship "Gothenburg" is the most powerful proof of Sweden's participation in the great seafaring trade.

Therefore, helping Sweden to obtain the southern coastal area and eliminating the Danish Navy is obviously to unlock great navigation skills for Sweden. Therefore, Marin was very remorseful afterwards. What's more, Sweden also got Gotland Island in the center of the Baltic Sea, which can be said to make a lot of money.

In other words, in the previous military operation that defeated Denmark, Marin sent the most troops and contributed the most, but he was the one who gained the least...

After all, the Principality of Schleswig is only 9,200 square kilometers in area, and its business is not developed. Lübeck and Hamburg not only divided up the Principality of Holstein with an area of ​​10,000 square kilometers, but also eliminated the maritime trade capacity of the commercial rival Denmark, and also controlled the Oresund Strait, with the most economic interests. Sweden, on the other hand, has acquired the largest land area. After all, the vast area of ​​southern Sweden has tens of thousands of square kilometers, including precious estuaries.

Now,

Seeing that Denmark's decline has become inevitable, Marin regrets being too good to Sweden. Moreover, Marin foolishly helped Sweden to unearth the great treasure of the rise of the entire Swedish Empire at the Fajilun Copper Mine...

Speaking of which, Marin was so depressed that he wanted to die. It is conceivable that when Marin developed the Fayilun copper mine to the extreme, maybe the Swedes would pick peaches and squeeze out their own power. Of course, the Swedes may not dare when they are there. After all, Marin is a hero with a large army in his hands. But in the future, when the country ruled by Marin's descendants encounters difficulties, the Swedes may take the opportunity to turn their backs and take back half of the Falun Copper Mine.

Of course, Marin will not develop the Falun copper mine, the Swedes will develop it themselves. Throughout the 17th century, when Sweden was at its most brilliant, it relied on the financial resources provided by the Fayilun Copper Mine to supply Sweden to fight for hegemony.

It is a pity that Second Master Gu is a military genius, but he chose the wrong direction for hegemony. If he hadn't plunged into the big pit of Germany, and had not met the old enemy of Wallenstein, he might have lived for decades. In a few decades, it was enough for the second master Gu to pack up Poland and Russia into grandchildren. As long as it has access to the Polish hinterland or Russia, which is rich in agriculture and minerals, Sweden is sure to fly. Moreover, at that time Poland was beginning to decline, and the founder of the Maozi Empire, Peter I, had not yet been born, and Maozi was not very strong. It is still easy to get a lot of land from these two countries. But the second master Gu was too heartless, he insisted on getting involved in the giant pit of Germany, and ended up taking his own life in the pit...

However, these are the history of the last life, and there is nothing to say. For Marin now, he could see the decline of Denmark and the rise of Sweden. Moreover, the rise of Sweden makes Marin even more worried.

So, while in Worms, Marin had hinted at the Danish king Hans - he would no longer care about the conflict between Denmark and Sweden. In fact, it is tantamount to secretly encouraging Denmark to retake the southern coast of Sweden. Marin felt that it would be much better for a declining country like Denmark to control Sweden's most prosperous southern coast than for the hidden hero of Sweden to control the southern coast.

Besides, Denmark's return to the southern coast of Sweden will lead to endless wars between Denmark and Sweden, affecting the development of both countries. At that time, Marin can influence the conflict between Denmark and Sweden like a referee. If anyone fails, help. In short, it is to encourage the two countries to fight each other, so that neither country can develop.

In fact, Marin has long been preparing to contact the military alliance of the "Quad Alliance" with Sweden. Because, if this covenant is not lifted, once Denmark attacks Sweden in the future, Marin will passively have to stand on the Swedish side because of the covenant and send troops to attack Denmark...

But Marin obviously didn't want to get involved in the military conflict between Denmark and Sweden, so, taking advantage of the opportunity of being suppressed by the nobles at the Worms Empire Conference, Marin decided to take the opportunity to dissolve the Quartet military alliance. In this way, Sweden and Denmark will have nothing to do with Marin in the future, even if they fight to death.

The reason is easy to find - those princes don't want to see what military ambitions Marin has...

However, Marin had been busy fighting and negotiating before, and when he came back, he met the autumn harvest immediately, so this matter was delayed.

Now that the autumn harvest is over and Marin has time, he naturally thinks of dissolving the military alliance of the four countries...

So, now that he was free, Marin immediately began to write letters to Lübeck, Hamburg and Sweden, stating that he would stop the activities of the Quadruple Alliance, in order to prove to the outside world his determination to be peaceful. In this way, the German princes can be reassured, and they can justifiably get out of the quagmire of Sweden.

The problem, of course, is that Marin has pulled out, but Lübeck and Hamburg haven't. Marin was worried that the two rich cities continued to ally with Sweden to fight against Denmark together. So, how can Denmark be bigger than Sweden?

Therefore, Marin not only wrote letters to the two grand speakers of Lübeck and Hamburg, declaring that they would withdraw from the Quartet, but also implicitly suggested that Lübeck and Hamburg should also withdraw from the military alliance of the Quartet.

Of course, Marin is also reluctant to give up Lübeck and Hamburg, two powerful political allies. Therefore, Marin wrote in his heart to Lübeck and Hamburg that although the military alliance of the "Quartet Alliance" has been dissolved, Marin can let the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, Lübeck and Hamburg establish a political and economic alliance!

As for Sweden, let's go wherever it's cooler. The reason is also very simple - Sweden is not a prince of Germany...

In this way, Marin can happily remain neutral in the future, laughing at the fact that Denmark and Sweden are tearing each other up...
