The tax reduction treaty of the queen Patton's succession made the outer wall area into a sea of cheers. In this era of clear class system, the tax burden is far more heavy than ordinary people imagine. At this moment, no one will protest the fact that the new pope succeeds, except for the military headquarters and the palaces of knights.
"What does the Holy See want to do this time? Tax cuts? Do you want to gather people's hearts in such a way? "
In the conference room of the headquarters of the military region, many generals and chief of staff, headed by the three commanders in chief, sat in the hall. Some looked worried, some looked deep, and some were deep in thought.
"Based on the latest intelligence, I've found the source of the new Pope's identity, and I think you'll think I'm joking." A bearded five-star general looked around the crowd with a trace of mockery and coldness on his face.
"Don't be so cynical, just say it!"
"What identity?"
General bearded said calmly: "this little ghost named Barton is not of noble origin at all. He has not been crowned with the order of knight. In fact, he is an orphan from a slum! I have found the orphanage where he came from and verified his identity. "
"What?"
"What are you talking about?"
"He's from the ghetto?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at general bearded in disbelief.
's response was as like as two peas general's expectations. He was the same as them when he first got the news, but at the moment he felt a bit of a laugh in his heart. He didn't feel that his colleagues were ridiculous. He felt that the light of the Holy See had been ridiculous, and had made a lowly and untouchable pariah sit on the Pope's position, and no one would believe it.
"He's an orphan in the ghetto. How can he join the Holy See of light?" A heroic female general frowned.
A few years ago, the Vatican of Guangming changed the recruitment rules. As long as he was of noble origin, he could pass the examination and enter the probation stage. Before he entered the Vatican, he was adopted by a lonely noble. As for why this poor noble adopted such a humble person, no one knows
"Didn't you ask?"
"Dead man's mouth, I can't ask."
"They're dead?"
"By the time my people investigated, they had been dead for a long time. The whole family had been killed, and even their children had not been spared. Not a living person, including the distant relatives who came to visit their homes, was also unfortunate to suffer!" The general with beard said indifferently.
Another burly general with a gloomy face said, "so they were killed. It seems that all this is a well prepared plan. What plot is the Vatican going to do then? Why would Richelieu support the succession of a pariah in a slum? Is he not afraid of blasphemy?"
"It is not a day or two for the Holy See of light to blaspheme. It is extremely despicable to educate the common people in the name of God and ask for their money." The former female general said coldly.
"I don't agree with you." Another general with fair hair and white complexion was displeased. "Although the Vatican has gone too far in some places, the outer wall area would not be so peaceful without the power of the Vatican to spread justice for so many years. Disasters and poverty would bring riots. The Vatican calmed the feelings of the civilians. This is something that our soldiers will never be able to do. We can never point guns and spears at everyone and tell him Don't fight or make trouble, or you will be punished? "
The female general sneered: "are you sure that those who spread the power of justice are just people? We didn't frighten the civilians with swords and guns, but they have already done so. If there is no light Knight cruising around, how many riots will there be? "
"You're being unreasonable!" The golden general angrily said: "who stipulates that the person who disseminates the energy of justice must be a just person? Even if the Pope's purpose is to benefit, at least the impact of what he does is good, which is enough! "
"All right." An octogenarian commander-in-chief raised his hand slightly and stopped their quarrel. He said, "the contribution of the holy see is undeniable, but the Vatican has become more and more unscrupulous for so many years. Behind any right, the Vatican is no exception. We have suffered losses in the Vatican these years. You should know that if the Vatican is allowed to continue to expand When the nobles and civilians all fell to their side, we, as the maintenance of the outer wall, could only look up to the Holy See. "
"That's serious." Next to him, another old man with white hair, who was equally old, said with a smile, "what can civilians do? Even if all of them become believers of the Holy See, how can they still dare to turn the sky?"
"Why not? I think we should not underestimate the power of the civilians. Although they are weak, they are large in number. If they gather together, they may not be able to shake us up! " The former octogenarian voiced.
"You worry too much." The old man with white hair chuckled: "let's not say that these civilians dare not do this. Even if they listen to the Vatican's words and do the right thing to us, they will just kill themselves. Are our iron lion Crusaders still afraid of these unarmed civilians?""If you look down on the common people, you will suffer a lot sooner or later!" The octogenarian said angrily.
"I agree." A general echoed.
The old man with white hair glanced at him and said calmly: "it's better to talk about the Vatican than to care about these lowly civilians. This time they elect a new pope to succeed. They must want to do a big thing. What I worry about most is the inner wall behind the Vatican If it is guided by the inner wall area, it will be troublesome. "
Hearing what he said, the people looked at each other, and their faces were ugly.
"Commander, if the Vatican interferes with the inner wall area, should we apply to the garrison in the inner wall area for reinforcements?" The former woman general immediately asked.
The old man with white hair sneered and said, "nothing happened. Just guess. Please come to the inner wall area. Do you want to stir up the war in the inner wall area?"
The octogenarian sitting next to him was silent, neither echoing nor refusing.
When the female general heard what he said, a trace of loss flashed in her eyes, and she sighed in her heart. She knew that the military region always hated to ask for reinforcements from the inner wall area. Even if the last time a savage broke the border and broke the fort, the military region delayed to apply for reinforcement in the inner wall area. The reason for this is that many generals present are opposed to the request for reinforcement, because once inside the military area, the military region has been reluctant to ask for reinforcements All of them will face the possibility of being reshuffled, especially the three commander-in-chief, who will also face the possibility of being managed and ruled instead of being supreme!
"I think we should use our eye liner to investigate the details, and see what the holy see is going to do." The previous bearded general opened his mouth and broke the deadlock.
There was a second opinion immediately.
During the meeting in the military area command, there was an angry rebuke in the meeting hall of the Knights' hall, which vibrated on the pilaster, "Polly! Are you a spy from the Holy See? Who has allowed you to stand up for the holy see on behalf of our entire palaces of knights? Do you want to pull our Knights' palace into the muddy water? "
It was a white haired old man, the Lord of the Knights' palace, Vic Jones!
The crowd looked coldly at a thin old man, waiting for his explanation.
Perry gave a bitter smile. When he praised the new pope as his legendary knight, he knew that he would face this scene. He said in silence: "Lord, I don't represent the whole palaces of knights. I just represent myself. I have read the resume of this new pope. I think he is very good and will be an excellent Pope in the future, That's why I praised him. "
"Personal?" Vic Jones said angrily, "will people outside think you represent an individual? Will the military district think so? Will the tribunal think so? I tell you, the papal succession of the Vatican has always been controlled by the inner wall! The Vatican's sudden replacement of the pope must have been a sudden plan in the inner wall area, otherwise it would never have been so sudden! If you drag us into this muddy water, you are going to destroy us
