The more Marin thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was a good idea. He had already ligated a French king, and he didn't care about adding another Grand Duke of Moscow. However, the only problem is that it seems that Vasily III has a younger brother with the same father and mother...
Princess Sophia and Ivan III have more than one son, there are other sons. Even if Vasily III had no offspring, he could be succeeded by his brothers and his brothers' heirs.
Right now, Vasily III has no children. It seems that his current wife is barren. Later, the famous Ivan IV the Thunderer, the first tsar of Russia, seemed to be born after Vasily III divorced his first wife and married his second wife. Marin ligated him, and no one doubted it. Why, Vasily III is 37 years old, only one year younger than Marin, but he hasn't given birth to a child yet. God knows whether the queen can't give birth, or he can't give birth himself. If he married a second queen after divorce and gave birth to a child, maybe everyone would know that he was fertile. But right now he has no children, and Marin has ligated him. Even if he changes the queen again, he will not be able to give birth to children, and no one will doubt Marin, so happy...
As for his younger brothers... Well, because they have the blood of the Byzantine royal family, they can't stay...
Vasily III is the monarch, so naturally he cannot be killed. But his brothers are not kings, and there is nothing unkillable. Besides, Marin didn't intend to use the army to kill them...
How to get them? It's actually very simple - when the Beihai army breaks through Moscow City, it can intentionally cause chaos. Then, let Vasily III's younger brother die in chaos, is it reasonable...
As for who to send? Marin decided to ask Kohler to send a spy to sneak into Moscow in advance and lurk around the residence of Vasily III's younger brother. Once the Beihai army besieged the city, on the day of breaking the city, when the city was most chaotic, they shot and killed Vasily III's younger brother. As long as it wasn't killed by the army, Marin would not be blamed. You see, he didn't even kill Vasily III. Who would doubt that he sent someone to do it? Besides, it seems that he has no such motive...
"No..." Marin suddenly remembered a detail in his mind-it seems that Princess Sofia gave birth to 5 sons. Apart from Vasily III, only the youngest son, Andrei, has descendants. This is why Ivan the Terrible accidentally killed his son, which led to the extinction of the Rurik dynasty, and the reason why the Russian royal power fell into the hands of the Romanov dynasty.
In fact, if the heir of Princess Sophia is still the tsar, the theory of the third Rome can really be established. But the Romanov dynasty has no blood relationship with the Byzantine royal family at all. Therefore, even though the later tsar was bragging about it every day, people just refused to admit that he was the heir of Byzantium—he didn’t have the royal blood of the Eastern Roman Empire, so what are you bragging about?
Marin's thinking immediately became clear-since Vasily III's younger brothers only have descendants of his younger brother Andre, then the spy gate only needs to kill Andre and Andre's children. The others have no offspring, so what are you afraid of...
In this way, Marin arranged for the extinct heir of the Rurik dynasty in Moscow...
In fact, if Vasily III's nephew Dmitri was still alive, Marin would not mind helping him up to be the Grand Duke. Unfortunately, he was killed by Vasily III. Otherwise, it is a very good pawn.
...
After making a plan, Marin called Kohler and asked him to choose a spy who could speak Russian and lurk in Moscow, next to the mansion of Grand Duke Andrei (the one who is not the monarch, similar to the Mongolian prince, a bunch of Russian grand dukes).
They are ready to assassinate at any time, and they will act once the army of the North Sea State besieges Moscow City. It would be best to take advantage of the chaos and kill Archduke Andrei and his family when the city was first taken. Then, set a fire and destroy the evidence...
...
But Marin thought and thought, and temporarily changed the plan—let’s also perform a ligation for Grand Duke Andre...It’s better to die than to live...It’s too bloody to kill the royal family at every turn...
By the time,
Lock him up with Vasily III. After comatose with drugs, do a simple ligation...
If this guy has a son, the son will also have a ligation...
...
For things like necrosis, it seems that in Grenada, many black uncles have to be neutered every year to prevent them from leaving seeds everywhere. They are familiar with this matter. Therefore, Marin intends to mobilize a reliable and skilled sterilizer from Grenada and take it to the Grand Duchy of Moscow with the army. After the battle, brother Vasily III was circumcised. Then, you can sit back and relax...
At this time, Vasily III and his younger brother Grand Duke Andrei, who were far away in Moscow, suddenly felt a chill in their crotch, as if something ominous was about to happen...
...
Whether it is vasectomy or not is actually a matter of the future, so there is no need to rush. But war is a major event, and it cannot be sloppy. Therefore, Marin must be fully prepared. In addition to preparing weapons, armor, food, and winter clothing, there is another important thing that Marin must prepare in advance. That is - surveying and mapping of theater maps!
Although the terrain near the Grand Duchy of Moscow is flat, there are also swampy areas on the plain that are not suitable for marching, as well as vertical and horizontal ditches that hinder marching. If the route is not chosen well, causing the army to get stuck in the mud, or be blocked by rivers and rivers, it will delay time. At that time, the fast attack will become a joke...
Therefore, before the outbreak of the war, Marin had to send professional cartographers to go deep into the local area, draw maps, and mark the swamps and rivers. Then, as a reference, let the army choose the route with the least obstruction, which is convenient for marching and raiding.
Marin also learned this from the ghosts of later generations. It is said that before launching the war of aggression against China, the devils sent thousands of spies to various parts of China for surveying and mapping, providing reference for the base camp to formulate marching routes.

Marin naturally learned from others. However, Marin is different from the devils who want to annex China completely. He is just a passer-by in the Grand Duchy of Moscow. He only needs to grasp the general route of advance and choose the appropriate direction of advance. Unlike devils, in addition to the marching route of the large corps, they also need to consider the occupation and control of the place. Therefore, the workload of the two cannot be compared.
Under the premise that he does not intend to occupy the Grand Duchy of Moscow for a long time, Marin actually does not need to survey and map the terrain and road conditions of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in particular detail. They only need to choose a suitable route of entry and focus on mapping the situation from Smolensk to Moscow. For example, places south of Moscow City don't need much attention.
Therefore, Marin only needs to send dozens of spies and divide them into several groups to complete the basic tasks. The surveyed map will also become an important reference for Marin's marching route...
