Chapter 1539: Gunpowder Keg

Li Cong is absolutely unwilling to do such things as preaching, but considering the balance, he has to take care of this matter, and the Catholic Church can't be the dominant family, right? If that is the case, I will feel uncomfortable. The strength of the Catholic Church is already very strong. If they continue to be strong, if I have something to deal with them in the future, I will have no way to deal with them. Yes, the only way is the two people in front of me. M[ Just read the novel~]

Seeing Mitel, Li Cong felt a little uncomfortable. I just told someone about my friend, and now I am going to take advantage of him again, but Li Cong really doesn't want Mitel to leave him to get involved in these things After a minute, Li Cong had an idea in his heart. Not only can the Orthodox Church not disappear, but their development will not be too large, at least it is no problem to contain the Catholic Church, and it is not a problem to attack Europa. It also has a certain effect.

If Li Cong wants to invade planets in outer space, the earth must be unified. This unification cannot be accomplished in a day or two. It will be head-to-head once again. It is not so realistic to kill them in the short term. I have turned Great Russia into what it is now, but I have also lost a lot. If I come with Europa again, Li Cong will not So generous.

It just so happened that the two people in front of them said that there were millions of diehards among their tens of millions of believers, and they could take advantage of them. I have this plan. I believe that the two people who have nowhere to go should consider their own suggestions. They will not refuse, and they are not qualified to refuse. There are so many choices for a lost dog. Li gave them a chance at this time to look up to them. , If they don't want to do it, then I'm sorry, you can make a living by yourself, it is estimated that they will have to be killed if they leave Li Cong's door, and I don't know how many people from the Catholic Church outside want to kill them.

The Orthodox Holy See also has its own way. Is it that easy to let yourself control? Li Cong was also thinking about this question. He was wondering whether he should raise his own conditions. If they refused, maybe he wouldn't need to raise them a second time. After all, he also wants face. Li Cong is thinking about how he should propose that they can let go of their pride and cooperate with him. After all, besides themselves, they also have backers over there.

Eastern Orthodox Church (Eastern x h), also known as the Orthodox Church or the Orthodox Church, is one of the main denominations of Christianity and refers to the church that follows the Christian tradition handed down from the Eastern Roman Empire. It is one of the three major denominations of Christianity alongside Catholicism and Protestantism, and is currently the second largest denomination. Its believers are mainly distributed in Greece, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia and other Eastern European countries. The Greek word (a) for "orthodoxy" means orthodoxy. Unlike Catholicism, Orthodoxy is made up of a number of local churches known as "autonomous churches" or "self-governing churches." These churches are independent of each other but share a common faith.

However, Li Cong also thought of some things in the history of the Orthodox Church. In history, they have shown that the emperor and the pope are very harmonious.

I just don't know if the person in front of me has this kind of thought. In the East, there is no conflict between the archbishop and the ruler as there is between the Pope and the emperor. From the beginning, the Eastern Church maintained a close cooperative relationship with the leaders who governed Constantinople. This relationship is so close that it is called the "king and pope system" by Western church figures and historians, which means that church affairs are completely subject to the emperor's management. The church effectively became a department of the government. Byzantine historians, however, refuted this accusation, pointing out that the emperor was not a priest and that the archbishop had the right to excommunicate him. Pro-Orthodox theologians prefer to use "harmony" (n) instead of "king-pope". Harmony means that religious and political power support each other, and the church allows leaders who believe in Christ to manage the country; but the whole society is cared for by God, and the king is anointed by God. The charge of "king-popeism". It is an important event in the process of the growing rift between the Eastern and Western churches. At that time, the Western Church had been striving for the status of religious power over political power for hundreds of years. Although it is not said that the emperor and the pope are one person. But they always represent an interest, which is very different from before.

"Mr. Pope, Miter, what I want to know is, where are your millions of faithful believers?" Li Cong answered the wrong question, and the two of them took a look. Did Li Cong take a fancy to his millions believer? That is the last reliance on my side, and now they are all very dangerous. Although the Catholic Church will not kill these people, it will definitely not keep them. It is estimated that they will also in the near future. Renegade.

"What does Mr. Li mean by saying this? Naturally, we need these people to preach." Pope Larsi couldn't figure out what Li Cong wanted to do for a while, so he could only say that. He thought Li Cong agreed. As for his proposal, based on his understanding of Li Cong, it should not be so easy to agree to this matter.

"No, I'm not talking about missionary issues. What I mean is that I can help you build a country where the church and the state are unified. I don't know if you have thought about it. I need it very much, at least you need it very much at this stage, and I need you to help me open the gap in Europe. I believe you know what happened not long ago. I don’t want so many people who are against me in this world. I need to be in Europe. Find a spokesperson. I used to have a spokesperson in Europa, but these people are not obedient now. They basically don’t listen to me when it comes to life and death in Europe, so I went back to look for it. A new spokesperson, you are lucky, I don’t know if I will send weapons, you will send people, we can arm the rebellion, what are your chances of winning?” Li Cong said with a smile. He knew what he was proposing should be attractive. At least the Pope in front of him was moved. There was a hint of joy in Li Cong's eyes when he saw this guy just now. []

The Pope's brain is really not enough at this time. He would never have thought that Li Cong would make such a proposal. For him, he has no way out now, but he never thought of forming a The army, let alone those who want to form a country, is mainly because the era when the Orthodox Holy See controlled the country is too far away from the present, and they don't even have the current idea in their minds, but from the bottom of their hearts. Now that someone proposed it, their ideas came out, yes, since the ancient predecessors could do it. Why can't they? A religion can be destroyed, but it cannot be destroyed with the help of the government. If it has hundreds of thousands of troops, how can the Catholic Church defeat itself?

The old nest of the Orthodox Holy See is in Constantinople, which is now called Istanbul. It is their base camp, and there are basically millions of faithful believers there, so it is definitely a good place to go if you want to rebel. chosen, and Li Cong also controlled the Turkish Strait. Armed support can be given to them at any time. In addition, the people in power in Great Russia and the energy group are very good friends. If Li Cong makes any moves, they will definitely not say no, even if they will not support, but It will definitely not be blocked.

"Mr. Li, our believers are all in the territory of Turchi. If there is a real uprising, I think it will take a lot of changes. At least we don't have that ability now. Now the Catholics have massacred them. If we A little carelessness. They might all be killed." Pope Larsi calmed down at this moment, and he no longer had the fanaticism just now. Just now, this guy felt that he was about to become an emperor. He understood that it was impossible on his own. Only the person in front of him can do it, but he has to understand before launching it. Is Li Cong using him as cannon fodder or does he really want to cooperate with him? It is not a good thing to cooperate with Li Cong. Li Cong's collaborators have died recently, but not many survived.

"Mr. Pope, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I can do everything. I think the name of the country is the same as your historical empire. It is better to call it the Byzantine Empire. Although the empire is far away, I believe that As long as the pope raises his arms, many people will definitely come, and it is impossible to restore the previous state in a short time, but it is still no problem to divide a district." Li Cong thought for a while and said.

Divide a district? Li Cong's purpose soon appeared. Li Cong didn't want them to build a big empire at all. Li Cong just wanted them to become nails nailed there. Now Li Cong's layout starts from the place they opened up , slowly promote his plan to encroach on Europe, don't be as radical as in Great Russia, now Li Cong's policy in Great Russia is a little bit bad, a large number of people rise up to rebel, thousands of people every month Li Cong hopes to implement a more moderate method in Europe, such as the rule of proxy, and the pope in front of him is the best candidate.

"Mr. Pope doesn't need to answer me right away. I have plenty of time. I always think we can cooperate, but the way of cooperation must be determined by me. I hope Mr. Pope can see the current situation clearly and don't mess around." Li Cong said with a smile, he also told this guy, if you really dare to secretly develop believers on Lao Tzu's territory, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being cruel, and I will solve it before the people of the Catholic Church kill you you.

"If there is nothing else, Mr. Pope can go down to rest first. I still have some things to discuss with Miss Mitter. Please rest assured that I am still very safe here. People from the Catholic Church dare not act presumptuously here. " Li Cong waited for two minutes and this guy still didn't say anything. Li Cong didn't have that much time to write with this old guy, so he immediately issued an order to evict the guest.

"Okay, okay." Now that the Pope is Mitteer's subordinate, he naturally doesn't want her to say anything more with Li Cong, but looking at Li Cong's eyes, if he said nothing, he might be right. I have to give myself to the Catholic Church. Manro over there is very lonely. If I go by myself, I may have more companions, but I definitely don't want to be like that.

"You can't treat my godfather like this. In fact, we haven't reached that point. We still have millions of believers." Just now Mitel wanted to talk, but he just stopped talking because of his own identity. Now that there is no pope, it is easier for her to speak.

"Mitel, I regard you as my friend. There are some things I don't want to say too much, but as a friend, I will tell you to be honest. Later, you behaved very well. I like such a friend. .Look at your current situation. When and where you will have friends. It is obvious that you are here to ask for help, so I will take the initiative again. I don’t want me to help you. It seems that you gave me this opportunity. You said that you want to preach in my area. I did a good job in my own area, but I will lose if you come in, so this is impossible. , let you build a country and plan for a long time, you are a smart child, you can see that my ambition is the world, so anyone should build any power under my watch." Li Cong thought Thinking about saying this, Miter might feel cold-blooded. But this is me, my true self, and building a country for you is just a stopgap measure, and it cannot last for too long.

"But, why can't you cooperate with us? Our Holy See also has our potential. Although we are not on the same level as you now, what about in the future? We will develop slowly." Mitel still has some Not very desperate, how can I say that I have raised myself for many years.

"Hehe, Mitel, I'm cooperating with you. It's just this way of cooperating, I still look at your face, otherwise I won't cooperate with you at all. Maybe I will offend the Catholic Church if I co-operate with you, you I also know how powerful they are now, and this needs to be considered. [Read the novel and get there~] Isn’t it? If the Pope agrees, I will make it clear to this guy. From the day he promised you If you can agree, then the cooperation will continue, if you can’t agree, the cooperation will be canceled immediately." Li Cong said with a straight face, he was plotting against the Orthodox Holy See, and there was Miter in the middle Li Cong was really a little hesitant to do it, so Mitel was not allowed to participate.

In fact, Mitel didn't want to hang out in this whirlpool for a long time, but can she leave now? The Holy See is her home. She didn't know who her biological parents were since she was born. She just knew that they dedicated themselves to the Holy See. Because of her outstanding talent, she became the Pope's daughter and the Holy See. Daughter, the Holy See gave me everything now, but now I want to abandon the Holy See.

"Mitel, you are a smart girl, I hope you can understand that the whole world will not help you now, including the people over there, because now you have no value to be used, only me, You are only valuable to me, and only I can help you. If you still want to hide those hundreds of thousands of faithful believers, I think you are really hopeless, and I won’t say how noble I am , I also have the interests I need. I dare say that with my help, at least your Orthodox Holy See will not disappear now. Without my help, I don’t see that it will fall apart in half a year. I It can be seen that Larsi must be seriously injured. Don't talk about the masters of the Catholic Church at this time, even a random deacon may kill him. I can provide you with safety here, but I can't guarantee it. Continue to provide it to him." The cruel reality must be made clear to Mitel immediately, Li Cong must realize this idea in his head, otherwise he may not be able to sleep at night.

"Mitel, I think they know about your current situation. Why didn't they give you any assistance? Because they and the bosses of the Protestants understand that you don't have any ability to rise up. At least in the past thirty years, it is impossible, so they have not given you support, you should not continue to stay in such a place with no future, although it is a bit cruel for you to say this, but it is all true , I hope you can think about it too, if you really feel that you don't want to live an ordinary life, you can come and help me." Li Cong said sincerely, this is not poaching, but really feels Mitel Those who stay have no future.

Li Cong and Mitel had a dull dinner. Although the food looked delicious, neither of them had much appetite. There is something here that they don't want to eat. However, the people in the military department have food and no time to eat at the moment. Li Cong just sent them a message to quickly strengthen the garrison in Turchi.

Because of some retreat in the Mediterranean region some time ago, the garrison in the Turchi Strait has been greatly improved compared to before. In the past, there were less than 20,000 garrisons. It’s not that Li never wanted to forget the garrison there. It’s just that due to international pressure, it’s not easy to send troops over there casually. Although there are not so many troops there, the barracks there are built with 100,000 troops, and there are hundreds of thousands of Li Cong on the Suez Canal. of the army. With the energy group's airlift capability, it is absolutely possible to transport 200,000 troops there in one day, but their equipment is somewhat difficult.

There is a railway from Central Asia that can directly reach the Turchi region. It will take a lot of work to start transportation now, and the railways used by many ordinary people will stop. The energy group needs to make some compensation to the common people along the way, otherwise, why should they give it to you, and the people from the Political Department will also start activities in Turki, transporting so many arms, people No matter how small the country is, it definitely needs to be asked, and the current Turchi is only a region of Europa, which is a very important region, not a garbage region like Poland, which is very important, even if It is the energy group that occupies the Turchi Strait. However, their army can still use Turki as a base to counterattack, so Europa is also very disgusted with the increase in the number of troops stationed by the energy group in this area.

There are now about 300,000 of their native troops in Turchi, and nearly 500,000 troops transferred from other places by Europa, adding up to 800,000 regular troops alone. If you want to cause trouble in this area, it will definitely not work if there are fewer people. Although there used to be many believers of the Orthodox Church, those people are basically confused by the Catholic Church now, except for the millions of diehards. besides them there are millions of unsteady people. These people can also be won over, but these people have not received systematic militarization training, and even if they fight, they may not be of much effect, so the energy group army means that they are okay to cause chaos, If they are really allowed to work with the regular army. It is estimated that it will not last for a week, if there is air force assistance from the energy group. It can last up to two weeks.

If the energy group wants to dispatch the army to help them, it will not be easy. If there is less dispatch, it may not have any effect, and there will be huge casualties. If there are more dispatches, it may trigger an all-out war with Europa , this time is obviously not suitable, so because of these problems and the various problems caused by these problems, the military department of the energy group has been busy for several days, and finally a plan was released.

The first batch of energy groups will aid at least one million submachine guns, 100,000 pistols, and a large number of various light weapons to the millions of loyal people who have been handed over to the Holy See, and of course the more than one million unsteady ones People also need to be won, and the military department speculates that if the war is really smooth, more of these scumbags may come back. Maybe the hundreds of millions of believers of the Orthodox Holy See will come back. After all, many of them were persecuted.

Several airports in the Turchi Strait have also been temporarily expanded. The airport that originally could only accommodate 750 aircraft can accommodate 1,500 aircraft after expansion. It seems that there is still a big gap. Besides, in the European continent, Europa can dispatch thousands of planes at any time. The energy group has a lot of planes on the territory of Great Russia, but if they want to come to reinforce, they need to go through Great Russia. People may be unwilling to use the territory of the country. Although it is a small country now, it still needs dignity. Li Cong does not want to go to war with two countries at the same time. When the time comes for the Americans to reconcile in the play, it is very likely This matter will be out of control, and the three of them may unite.

After two days of consideration, Larsi finally accepted Li Cong's suggestion. On the one hand, it was because he had nowhere to go now, although the path Li Cong gave was not necessarily a good one. But it is much better than finding his own way. Secondly, there are people from the Holy See chasing and killing him around the energy group. Although these people dare not enter the gate of the energy group. But they all knew that Larsi was inside.

Mitel quit teaching according to Li Cong's suggestion. At that time, Li Cong could see clearly in Lalxi's eyes. This guy was very reluctant. Even if you were reluctant, there was nothing you could do. What Li Cong told him was very clear. I want you to be a saint. What else can you do to support your founding of the country?

Then a large amount of ordnance began to be shipped to the Turchi area. The Europa authorities immediately summoned the top person in charge of the energy group in Europe about this matter. Unfortunately, there was nothing but diplomatic rhetoric. Europa's 500,000 troops in Turchi Immediately entered the state of combat readiness. The remaining 300,000 troops are also ready to move out. According to their thinking, as long as they can surround the army of the energy group, they will not be able to do anything.

That's good, Li Cong also used his army to head-to-head with Europa's people from time to time, and Li Cong's army attracted them all. Then Larsi had another chance. Just when the army of the energy group was confronting Europa's army, Larsi returned to Istanbul. This guy is quite talented, and he immediately gathered 50,000 retired soldiers. , These people are the backbone of the imperial restoration he formed.

After Li woke up in the morning, he saw a TASS manuscript, to the effect that Pope Larsi V deeply felt the backwardness of the current social system and wanted to establish a new country. At present, tens of millions of people have supported it. The new empire The name is Byzantine Empire. The capital is Istanbul, and all the Europa troops in the capital have been driven out... This guy moves very fast. Istanbul has less than 50,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 policemen. Under the attack of the religious army, it was immediately defeated. The religious army is different from other armies in many ways. They are all very fanatical. If they win, they will be invincible. Thinking that Larsi's troops would succeed, he thought that they would have to fight hard if they wanted to take this city. But they all miscalculated, and they took the entire city without heavy weapons.

Within an hour after the outbreak of the war, several large international organizations such as Energy Group, Skull and Bones, Great Russia, and the Arab League expressed their concern, hoping that the two sides can resolve this dispute peacefully. Europa took a tough stance from the beginning . They also know about the recent affairs of the Orthodox Holy See, although some insiders are dissatisfied with the oppressive policy of the Catholic See. But they don't want to see their own territory threatened. Such religious forces must not let them rise, so the 500,000 troops in the southeast immediately arrived at the edge of the Turchi Strait, but when they arrived When I was here, I was stopped by the army of the energy group.

Although there are only 50,000 soldiers of the energy group that carry out the blockade mission, these 50,000 people are the guards of the energy group that have just finished winter training on the battlefield of Great Russia. They have been a steel knife of the energy group since the day they were established , until now, even if there are half a million people in front of them, ten times as many as them, they still look like that, without any fear at all, and Europa's army dare not do anything to them. There are only 50,000 troops, but behind them there is an army of 100,000 from the energy group. Although the army of 150,000 is only one-third of theirs, anyone who is not a fool can tell that if the energy group is really upset Yes, they really dared to blow up the bridge, and many people have heard that the things that Larsi V did this time seem to have something to do with the energy group, otherwise their empire will be revived How to use the weapons withdrawn from the energy group.

Europa's army lined up tens of kilometers in front of the bridge, and the carbon dioxide emitted by all kinds of vehicles could wipe out the ozone on it, creating a big hole, and a large number of soldiers began to look for trouble everywhere when they were idle. , Their boss also understands that this cannot continue. They have been here for five hours. If they continue, let alone deal with others, even the morale of the people on their side will have to be destroyed by themselves.

The top executives of Europa have emphasized many times with the top executives of the energy group that they must pass the Turchi Strait Bridge at 8 o'clock this morning, otherwise they will take all necessary measures to pass the bridge, because the situation there is no longer acceptable. Optimistic, just like the news expected before the start, Larsi is not just an empty hat, he is the Pope, and the Orthodox Holy See also has a very good reputation in this area. They are very marketable. The turmoil has developed to the point where it is no longer the original million people. Now there are at least three million diehards, and at least five million are still hesitating. The remaining tens of millions still have the original Holy See in their hearts. Although they have now joined the Catholic Church under the instigation of some people, deep in their hearts, they still believe in the Orthodox Church, and some teachings of the Orthodox Church have been deeply embedded in their minds.

europa expatriate command

General Joey had already come and gone more than a dozen times, and the staff officers of the headquarters did not dare to speak loudly at this time. Everyone knew that the boss was in a very bad mood. If I frowned at this time, it would look good on me again. The army would not have any fighting power if they set up a long snake formation like this, if someone sneaked into it. Their days are very exciting. Of course, they are still in the territory of Europa, so there is no need to worry.

However, the gossip inside the army is so true that many people say that Turchi has actually been demonized, and the religious soldiers there are like those in the fifteenth century, and those people will not be afraid at all. It hurts, all of them are lunatics with crazy thoughts in their heads, if it weren't for that. How could they repel the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops so quickly and occupy Istanbul? Although the officers tried their best to get rid of these rumors from the army, they didn't expect that the result of doing so would be to let more rumors come out. These things can't be cleaned up anyway, so the higher-ups must quickly enter Tour Among them, these rumors will disappear only if you quickly enter the combat state, otherwise, the people on your side will disperse before you meet the enemy.

"General, it is already 7:40. The energy group still shows no sign of getting out of the way. On the contrary, their air force has already taken off, and dozens of planes have been hovering over our heads for more than ten minutes. We All the soldiers are asking about our air force?" the staff officer came in and said. He knew that General Joey was already in a state of desperation, and there was no clear order from above. Just let the people on their side play by ear, what should they do? In this way, the people above are suspected of shirking. If you handle it properly, you will stand up. If you fail, you will not be able to find anyone. How can this be done?

"How is the reconnaissance situation? Do you have any statistics on the energy group's bridge guards?" General Joey thought for a while and said to another staff officer. He said that he must pass today. The prestige in the army will drop a lot. If a leader in the army loses prestige, it will be terrible. Soldiers need a tiger to take them with them, but if the tiger turns into a mouse, it will be terrible. The face of this army will be worse than that of a mouse, so don't go there at all, just go back and save yourself so much embarrassment.

"Report to the general, the energy group originally had more than 20,000 soldiers stationed here, but in the past half a month they have increased their garrison a lot, and now there are more than 100,000 people, many of whom are the energy group's guards, We are not very clear about the specific proportion, and their heavy weapons have already opened up. If we want to force through, it will be more difficult. Isn't our main target those people in the Holy See? We better not Go head-to-head with them." The staff officer thought for a while and added the following words.

"But general, if we haven't taken any action, the spirit of our army will be gone. Now our army has stayed for many days. If we continue to wear it down like this day by day, we may not need the enemy, and we will have problems ourselves. " Another staff officer also said distressedly, the problem the two of them mentioned was that the general had been thinking about things for a long time, this is so fucking annoying. General Joey shook his head, as if he had made a decision, and he seemed to give up the idea immediately. He knew that as a general, he couldn't hesitate like this, but looking at him right now, he really didn't have that courage. It is not so simple to do a simple thing. He knows that because of one of his decisions, the whole Europa may be pushed into a fatal situation. Is the energy group so easy to mess with? In the past, people in the world liked to say that the energy group was the number one in the world, and then there was the second and third, but when the energy group wiped out Great Russia, what did they say? The latter few have the strength to restrain each other, but it is impossible to destroy the other one, only the energy group has that ability.

"Send our air force to expel the fighter planes of the energy group." After three minutes, General Joey issued this order. The affairs of the air force are still different from the army. If something happens to the air force, it is still a small-scale matter, but If the army really matched up, it would be a duel of hundreds of thousands of troops, which is not so easy to explain. After all, so many people charged up with guns, how can this be explained? Even if the Air Force loses a plane, it can be explained that it is the pilot's own problem. For example, the pilot has a mental illness and cannot control himself. It is easy to solve.

Following General Joey's order, twenty Europa's latest all-day fighter jets took off immediately, and the morale of the pilots was still very high. They had fought against the pilots of the Energy Group a few years ago, although Their losses are a bit bigger, but they will never say that it is their own technical problems. They will all say that it is the reason why the energy group's aircraft are more advanced. However, the energy group has been fighting everywhere these years, and there is no time to update their aircraft. For weapons, they are still using the model several years ago. Our aircraft has been replaced by a new generation. Compared with the previous aircraft, it is absolutely no problem to say that this type of aircraft can hit five. If the energy group later If the plane dares to pierce, give them a little bit of power. Li Cong has already arrived in Turchi secretly, and he has already seen the situation here clearly. He can't get involved so quickly. If that is the case, it will be too beneficial to Larsi, and let Larsi keep the occupation Turki can do it, and I don't support other sites. After all, such a religious country develops the fastest in the initial stage. What if I can't control it? I also need to buy insurance, so Li Cong's opinion is not to confront Europa's army head-on, but to support it under certain conditions. Eight o'clock is the deadline for Europa, and Li Cong is also going to let go at the last minute. It is also possible for these troops to enter the territory of Turchi to consume the over-growing strength of the Holy See, otherwise, no one can control Lalshi's swelling heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (an.) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
