Father Mavie

Chapter 252 Arthur's Ambition (Please Subscribe!!!)

January 1, New Ross City.

A light snow fell in New Ross in winter, which added a touch of coldness. The fourth prince Arthur was sitting behind his desk, dealing with government affairs.

Since Mavi left, the city of New Rose has returned to calm, nothing strange has happened, everything is on track, Bishop Fowler, who has been severely injured, has been sluggish for a long time before recovering, no one knows What happened that night at Port New Ross, Arthur only knew.
When he arrived at the scene in the early morning, the port had been completely destroyed.

The ground is like a plowed farmland, covered with scars, and the hard pier turned into crushed stones, a mess.

At the scene of the disaster, Arthur found Bishop Fowler with blank eyes. He didn't ask any more questions, and immediately started the reconstruction work. He was busy restoring the affected economy of New Rose City for a period of time, and he had no time Consider others.

Fortunately, after that day, Bishop Fowler became more honest. Arthur heard that he had been punished and was reprimanded by the archbishop. However, judging from his situation as a bishop, the punishment should not be serious.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door, and then Gulihana walked in. She walked up to Arthur, hugged Arthur's body from behind, and said softly, "There is news from the Church of Truth."

With a pause in his palm, Arthur put down the quill and said seriously, "What news?"

"I just came to the orphanage on Friday and sent me a letter. It was written by Kasim himself. Father Mawei passed on the instructions and the latest situation to him through the oracle." Gu Lihana sent an unpainted letter The letter was handed to Arthur.

Arthur couldn't wait to pull out the letter and read it. He had been waiting for news from Father Marvie. The last time he heard about their situation was the Royal Navy's defeat report. What happened in the extreme northern waters was highly confidential, but Bishop Fowler Know, and told Arthur.

The tense body gradually relaxed. After reading the letter, Arthur leaned back and said with a smile, "Father Mawei and the others are making good progress. They have established a firm foothold in the Romanov Kingdom and are currently recruiting believers. expansion."

"But I read in the letter that the Cult of Wisdom has adopted blockade measures to restrict their actions." Gulihana said: "And the Freedom Association has reached an agreement with the Boyar nobles. After the business route is opened, they will Deliver souvenirs to the Romanov Kingdom"

Arthur nodded and nodded: "That's right, that's why Father Mawei came to me. He doesn't want the goods from the United States of America to enter the Kingdom of Romanov."

"What are you going to do? Are you going to leak the news to the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses according to Father Mawei's plan?"

"This is our political bargaining chip."

Arthur stood up, walked to the window, looked at the workers downstairs who were clearing the snow, and said thoughtfully: "Gulhana, who do you think is the biggest beneficiary of this war?"

"There are no beneficiaries in this war." Gulihana didn't even think about it. "If you insist on saying who has benefited, it should be the Church of Truth and your cousin Katerina. They have found a chance to gain power."

"No, the biggest beneficiary of this war is me."

"You?" Gulihana asked suspiciously, "Did you get any benefits?"

"Not now, but soon there will be."

Combing his smooth blond hair, Arthur took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling: "Father Mawei and the others are currently launching a counterattack against the Kingdom of Windsor, and changes in the international situation have ruined the original plan of the Kingdom of Windsor. Soldiers on the Eastern Front On the way to retreat, they were attacked by unidentified extraordinary creatures, so the Kingdom of Windsor did not have enough troops to defend the two mainland islands."

Gu Lihana seemed to understand something: "You mean, the high-level officials of the kingdom don't want to fight anymore? Are they going to withdraw their troops?"

"The failure of the Battle of Tyumen City destroyed the House of Representatives' last hope for a quick victory. From that moment on, the war changed from a blitzkrieg to a war of attrition. Even though the domain of immortality can greatly reduce the logistical pressure, the higher-ups still have to worry about other issues." Se turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall: "The Kingdom of Frederick and the Kingdom of Sardinia are besieging the Kingdom of Popang. Once the Kingdom of Popang is defeated, the Kingdom of Windsor will become the enemy's primary target."

"The third and fourth armies have suffered heavy losses. The Kingdom of Windsor does not have enough troops to stop the enemy's attack. We can only recall the soldiers who attacked the Romanov Kingdom from the front line to defend the mainland. They are also our last elite. Without them, the Kingdom of Windsor will be destroyed." Lost the qualifications for future hegemony."

"So I judge that the war against the Romanov Kingdom will end this year, but once a war is launched, it doesn't mean that it will end after it ends."

Arthur sighed, and said quietly: "Katerina came to me, and she said something to me."

"What?"

"She made me ready, because sooner or later, she will lead the soldiers of the Romanov Kingdom to the land of the Kingdom of Windsor, and plant their flags all over our mountains and rivers."

"What?" Gulihana's face changed: "Is she going to attack the Kingdom of Windsor? But you and Father Mawei have already established an alliance! She is the same! How can your own people beat your own people?!"

"The current Kingdom of Windsor is not her ally."

Arthur put his hands behind his back, staring at the world map on the wall, and said in a calm voice: "We initiated this war. In the eyes of the Romanov Kingdom, we are the invaders. The fact is that we have always played roles in history. The role of the invader, the prosperity of the Kingdom of Windsor today is due to the wealth plundered from all over the world, and the initial accumulation of wealth has been completed. It is precisely because of the huge benefits of sailing that the Kingdom of Windsor will vigorously develop its navy, industry."

"Father Mawei won't agree!" Gulihana said firmly, "He will definitely stop Katerina!"

"He wanted to stop it, but he didn't want to stop it."

"What do you mean?"

"It's very clear in the letter." Arthur walked to the table, picked up the letter and said, "Father Mawei intends to use Katerina's ambition to help me ascend the throne. Gulihana, you have to understand, The kingdom is the kingdom, and the church is the church. Sometimes everyone has the same interests, and sometimes they are very different. In today’s gods, the church needs the loyalty of the believers. In view of this, they must not be the direct rulers of the believers, and they need the kingdom system to buffer them. , and the kingdom needs to rely on the strength of the church to develop and grow, the two complement each other and are indispensable."

"No matter what, I still think that Father Mawei will mediate the conflict." Gulihana said.

"That's true. As long as I can successfully resolve the issue of the United States of America, Father Mawei will have enough reasons to persuade Katerina to stop the war. At the same time, I can also use this matter to attract the attention of King Rhodes IV. That’s the so-called political bargaining chip.”

Arthur smiled: "The only one who can stop Katerina is Father Mavi, and the only one who can make Father Mavi come forward to mediate is me. That's why I say that I am the biggest beneficiary of this war."

"So the key is whether you can solve the problem of the United States of America, right?" Gulihana nodded, "How are you going to do it?"

"First of all, let Kassim inform Bishop Fowler that the United States of America is planning to secretly fund the Romanov Kingdom and leak important information that the Drost family is a member of the Freedom Association. In this way, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will definitely send the Royal Navy to Interdiction of United States of America Merchant Shipping."

"Secondly, I want to write to King Rhodes IV, explaining the potential threat of the United States of America to the Kingdom of Windsor, suggesting that they provoke the internal conflicts of the United States of America, stimulate their internal struggle, and combine the information reported by Bishop Fowler to present their own strategy Foresight, to prepare for returning to the capital in the future."

"Finally, after the Royal Navy intercepted several merchant ships from the United States of Citi, they sent people to blow up several churches in the United States of Citi, completely intensifying the conflict. In order to fight back, King Rhodes IV will most likely take my suggestion and let Citi There is a civil war in the United States."

Arthur said lightly: "The outbreak of the civil war will make everyone see clearly the hidden military strength of the United States of America. Before that, I will try my best to solve the ethnic conflicts in New Rose City and the surrounding areas, and donate a considerable sum of money. Funds to support the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, and at the same time, the Crowley family will mention to the king the prophecy I made to the United States of America, if nothing unexpected happens."

"I will receive an order to be transferred back to the capital, officially return to the center of power, and then I can wait for the good news from Father Mawei."
