The Rise of the European Emperor

After writing the book, Marin and Leonardo signed on as authors. Of course, Marin made a special statement in the preface - his views do not come from himself, but from Einstein, the great sage who taught him.

In this way, no real historians will come to Marin to discuss academic issues in the future. As for Da Vinci, he was already erudite. Even if someone came to discuss with him, he was fine.

Then, Marin specially sent someone to Rome to bring the sample book to the Pope's father-in-law to review and see if there was anything inconsistent with the teachings. After all, writing history requires the approval of the Holy See. After all, in the absence of Protestantism, Catholicism has the ultimate right to interpret various cultures.

Of course, Marin wasn't worried that the book would fail. After all, in order to meet the requirements of the Holy See, when Marin wrote it, he specially inserted myths to cater to the Holy See. Moreover, as the Pope's son-in-law, Marin is not worried that the Pope will get stuck. At most, help yourself to correct a little irregularity.

Sure enough, the Pope quickly reviewed the book and agreed to publish it. Only, when I returned, I helped to add some plots touting the Romans. After all, the cardinals of the Holy See are mostly Italian descendants of the Romans.

The section added by Julius II to the book highlights the wisdom of the Romans. Therefore, God chose to put the Holy See in Rome. Because Rome is the capital of wisdom...

Faced with this shameless boast, the corners of Marin's mouth twitched. However, in order to please the Holy See, he also recognized it. Moreover, his flattery of the Germans is also shameless...

Then, the conclusion of the book becomes - the Germans are a people of war, the Italians are a people of wisdom...

Marin can imagine how popular the French were when this book came out - rub, what about the French? Are we not good enough? Isn't the French nation the best nation in the world?

Therefore, when signing, Malin specially asked Da Vinci to sign in the front, and his own signature in the back, and also specially emphasized that his views came from the great man Einstein. In this way, even if the French are angry, it is not easy to find fault with themselves. After all, he is only the second author, and his views are borrowed from his "missing" teacher...

After the book is compiled, it is naturally waiting to be printed. This is not difficult for Marin, because he has a lot of cheap paper from the Cape Breton Island paper mill. Moreover, this book has few pages, only a mere 60 pages, or 30 sheets of paper. Even factoring in the cost of type printing and ink, the cost is not that high.

However, because the book is to be promoted in the UK. So, Marin did it himself again and translated the English version. In this way, the book is available in both German and English versions. In the future, an Italian version will also be launched. For, while the book is boasting about the Germans,

After the Pope rubbed the pen, it also touted the Italians, the descendants of the Romans. So, it will definitely be popular with Italians as well. As for the French side... This book will definitely not sell. After all, by depicting the Hundred Years War between England and France, the book touted the English people, but degraded the French people. If it can sell well in France, there will be ghosts...

In the end, Marin printed 5,000 copies of the book in German and English each, and then put it on the German and English markets.

Don't underestimate the number of these 5,000 copies. In later generations, this may be a small number. That's because the literacy rate of later generations is high. If 5,000 books are sold well, they can be completely digested in a small city.

But now the literacy rate in Europe is extremely low, only the nobles and priests and some rich people are literate. 5,000 copies were printed, which could never be sold in a small vassal state, and needed to be distributed throughout Germany. Likewise, over there in England.

Even, in order to promote the book in England, Marin also asked Pope Julius II to help promote the book in England through the relationship of the Catholic Church in England. Otherwise, Marin has no confidence to sell all 5,000 books in England...

Moreover, Marin also intends to send a batch of English versions of "The Origin of European Nations" to the Catholic Church in England, and to buy some missionaries to publicize the contents of this book among the people of England.

After all, literacy rates in England were also very low in this day and age. However, missionaries were literate. Marin could have paid those clergymen, and at the same time preached the scriptures, to the people of England, to publicize the contents of the book. In this way, it is also conducive to the rapid diffusion of the content and opinions in the book. When the people of England knew that their family and the Germans were one family, it was easier for Marin to be accepted when he came to England...

...

Just as Marin was busy compiling and printing new books, news came from Ireland that Edward planned to hold secret tripartite talks with the French side, as well as Marin, in Nantes, the capital of the Duchy of Brittany in northwestern France. , determine the hands-on program, and how to divide the spoils.

Moreover, Edward would go by boat to Nantes himself. Because it occupies the southwest estuary of the island of Ireland, Edward can take a boat from the southwest coast of the island of Ireland, directly south to the Principality of Brittany, and enter Nantes through the Loire. In this way, English warships in the Irish Sea and English Channel can also be avoided.

Of course, for safety's sake, Edward asked Marin to send battleships to protect his ships. For, as far as Edward knew, Marin had a great naval power to withstand the attack of English warships. After all, Edward had no idea whether the English fleet would happen to meet his ship.

In addition, during the tripartite talks, King Louis XII of France will attend the negotiations in person. Therefore, Edward invited Marin to also go to Nantes to participate in this three-way secret meeting, so as to divide the interests on the spot.

Marin thought about it and agreed. After all, he has yet to openly turn his back on France. As for the hatred between Charles VIII and France, it has long since passed. Speaking of which, Louis XII had to thank Marin for angering Charles VIII. Otherwise, he has no chance to become the king of France.

Moreover, because the English fleet firmly controlled the English Channel, the French were unable to transport troops to England. And Marin can transport troops to Newcastle in the northeast of England through the wide North Sea.

At the same time, Marin has a powerful fleet that can deal with the blocking of English warships. Therefore, if you want to attack England, Marin, who is strong in both land and sea, is essential. If the French could go it alone and beat the British, they would have done so long ago. The problem is, the French navy is too frustrating...

Marin learned that the famous port of Brest in the northwest of France has not yet been built, but a seaside fortress. It seems that Brest will not build a port in Brest until the French Prime Minister Richelieu came to power in the 17th century. Later, it also became the home port of French colonization of North America.

Just because the port of Brest has not yet been established, for this meeting, Marin needs to go to Nantes by boat. First enter the Loire from the Atlantic Ocean, then go up the river to Nantes, the capital of the Principality of Brittany, to participate in the secret tripartite talks...
