Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 98:
"The merchant faction and the aristocratic faction are fighting?" Klitto asked wonderingly, "Didn't they have divided their spheres of influence? They are separated. How come they are fighting again?"
The intelligence officer in charge of the interrogation clearly understood the cause and effect of the matter and immediately replied: "According to the merchant faction, the nobleman sent an army posing as a robber to attack the caravan. They looked for the nobleman dignitaries, and the aristocratic faction not only refused to pay When the murderer came out, he attacked and said that they had harassed the border during this period. They were not angry, so they started."
"What about the aristocracy?" Klitto asked again.
"The argument of the aristocratic faction is that the merchant faction deliberately provoked first, planted the blame and put the blame on the wrong side, and finally took the lead in the end. It is really unreasonable!"
:Pig:Pig:Island: Novel 3w.dao.o Klitto nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked: "What is our position on this matter?"
"Director East told me that our Northwestern Republic has no position. If we have to find a position, it is to call for peace and persuade."
Klitto smiled: "This position is good, I like it!"
He is not the kind of warmonger who believes in "A cannon fires, gold is two thousand two", nor is he the kind of war madman who clamors "Only iron and blood can solve problems", although his personality is actually quite aggressive, but From a big political standpoint, he is a person who tends to be peaceful.
Everyone is safe and stable without fighting. Naturally, it is the best. If someone gets into a fight, what he most wants to do is to persuade him, not to take advantage of the opportunity.
In his opinion, the Northwestern Republic is very rich and does not necessarily lack population. Generally speaking, the situation is very good. There is really no special need to grab.
No! Even if you lack something, you can't grab it!
Gold coin federation merchant faction and noble faction are fighting, it is their civil war. As a neutral faction, the Northwestern Republic should certainly try to persuade them to stop the war and restore peace.
Klitto thought so anyway.
After he laughed, he frowned again, thought for a while, and asked: "Did Director East analyze who did this?"
"Director East said that he thinks there are two possibilities. One possibility is that the soldiers on the borders of both sides are not honest and attack each other’s civilians. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it has often been in the past. Happened. Between two hostile forces, this kind of thing is commonplace."
Klitto nodded and asked, "What about another possibility?"
"Another possibility is that someone is behind the scenes, pretending to be both sides, attacking the other's sentinels and civilians, and instigating war. This kind of thing is also very common, and it is a more common but very useful strategy."
Clito was stunned, thinking for a long time, frowning.
"How could this be? The merchants and the nobles are fighting...Who would want them to fight? Who would benefit from them?" He muttered to himself, lost in thought.
Until the intelligence agent left, he was still thinking hard about what was going on.
For Easton's vision, he was very convinced. Since East thinks that someone may be behind the scenes, then this possibility certainly exists, and it is not small.
He even felt that perhaps East had already had a conclusion in his mind. The reason why he asked the intelligence agent to tell him both possibilities was that he just wanted to take this opportunity to test himself and see his own vision.
So he could obviously ask Sui Xiong, but he didn't say anything. He just immersed himself in thinking and wondering.
"Which possibility do you think is more likely?" There was a flash of light in the kingdom of God, and Sui Xiong's clone came to East and asked, "This time the fierce conflict between the two forces within the Gold Coin Federation, What do you think is going on?"
"Do you still need to ask? Someone is provoking." East put down his pen and said with a smile, "The merchants and the nobles are currently seeking stability and want to develop steadily. The merchants are training the new army and need Buy time for the new army to take shape. The aristocracy needs to stabilize agricultural production and appease those lords who have changed their territories before. How can they have the time and energy to fight now? But outside of the gold coin federation, there must be people who don’t want to see it. They just get along with each other steadily and peacefully, so they can’t wait to provoke them to war, and I hope they fight as fiercely as possible."
"Then what kind of power do you think it will be?" Sui Xiong asked.
"The greatest possibility is of course the Thunder Duchy, and the Eagle Kingdom is also possible." East said, "After all, to benefit from the civil war of the Gold Coin Federation, it always makes sense to border it."
He thought for a while, and said: "In fact, it is also possible for the Dhaka Merchant League. They and the Gold Coin Federation are purely commercial nations, and they compete fiercely with each other. If the Gold Coin Federation fights a civil war, they can take the opportunity to occupy a lot more. The market. From this perspective, perhaps they are more likely to instigate a civil war in the Gold Coin Federation."
"Are there no other forces?" Sui Xiong asked.
East thought carefully for a long time, and then shook his head: "At least I can't think of it. Other forces may also benefit from it, but this benefit is obviously not enough to make up for it. For example, the Church of the Noble God, they Surely they can profit from this civil war, but how can they guarantee that the aristocratic faction will win the civil war? If the merchant faction wins, they will lose everything."
"But if the aristocratic faction wins, they make a lot of money, don't they?"
Ester nodded, then shook his head again.
"It is unreasonable to use 10% of the capital to pursue 20% of the profit, and to risk the loss of money." He said, "Even if you make a profit, the initial investment will be too large, and it will definitely hurt The strength of the aristocratic faction. If you do not want to damage the strength of the aristocratic faction, you must damage the strength of the aristocratic **** church-the aristocratic faction is not a fool. If you want them to die with the merchant faction, the aristocratic **** church must pay the blood. At least a large number of paladins, priests, and priests must be sent to the battle. Although they have been established for hundreds of years and have the background of the previous church of the king of gods, such a fight will definitely hurt their vitality..."
"What if they don't send people to the war?" Sui Xiong asked.
"That damages the influence of the Church of the Noble God. Let others fight, but does not send soldiers to support it. How can such a church count on the nobles to support it?"
Sui Xiong thought for a while~IndoMTL.com~ seems to be the truth.
I want to let others gamble on my old capital, but I don’t want to pay for it. Who would believe this kind of person?
"In that case, it is really unlikely that the Church of the Noble God is at work?"
"Unless there is something inside that I don’t know, I don’t see the need for the Church of the Noble God to fight this battle." East replied, but he didn’t have much confidence, "It’s just... The affairs of the gods are really unpredictable, and I'm not sure if there is any reason I can't think of."
Sui Xiong smiled: "Don't worry, I will investigate. There will be results soon."
After speaking, he asked Vie to find out.
To say that the most well-informed **** among the gods, apart from those professionals who gather information, is him, the **** of pleasure who specializes in eating, drinking, and having friends all over the world.
If the noble **** really has any tricks or conspiracies, Vier can always get a clue. (To be continued.)
