Chapter 407 Open the Map

At a regular meeting of the Government Council in April 1994, Cecil, who was in charge of the intelligence department, briefed everyone on the latest situation in Cape Bay.

"Last year, the Archbishop's envoy was thrown from the second floor of Nisberg. I believe everyone still remembers this. This made Archbishop Elvis of the Corner Bay furious and strictly ordered the Corner Bay Alliance to hand over the so-called murderer, but he did not. Get satisfactory results, Ni Fort Nisburg has been dragging its feet and refusing to surrender. In addition, the treatment of Angelo, the current bishop of Nisburg, has not been completed due to the resistance of the Alliance Council. However, not only the alliance, but also the coastal countries of the Horn Bay have generally expressed their dissatisfaction. Support for Angelo to remain as bishop.”

Paul asked Cecil, "What happened to the increase in religious taxes?"

Cecil replied: "Each state has only increased a little symbolically, but it is far from the amount expected by Archbishop Elvis."

"Is this the case for the Corner Bay Church?"

"Of course not. The Archbishop, together with Collins and other inland states, issued one after another notices criticizing the coastal states, and threatened to excommunicate the leaders of each country."

Manager Ford stroked his beard and said: "It seems that the contradiction is getting deeper and deeper."

Cecil nodded: "You can say that."

Everyone present laughed. They all knew that the eldest son of the Foster family came to the Northwest Bay to buy weapons last year. If a fight really breaks out, then Northwest Bay will make a lot of money.

During the dinner, Ladi Setia was the only one with a serious face. She coughed heavily and said, "Everyone, war is not something to be laughed at."

The laughter stopped, and everyone suddenly remembered that the hometown of this beautiful lady was Corner Bay, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

"That..." Cecil continued: "The rulers of the coastal countries have generally relaxed the arrest of wizards. Because the long-term high-pressure policy has had a huge impact on the normal business environment, the rulers, under the influence of strong public opinion, have With support, the local churches were forced to make concessions. "He felt that this was good news that would reassure Ms. Setia.

Sure enough, La Di's frowning eyebrows relaxed a little.

"Not only that, but a new religious trend, spurred by the local church's previous high-pressure measures, is spreading rapidly in the coastal states."

"A new religious trend?" Paul became interested and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Cecil nodded, "Many people are asking for a reinterpretation of the doctrine. Although these heretics... uh... New sects are still in a stage of mixed views, one thing they have in common is that they oppose the church's approach to secular life. Overintervention.”

Paul touched his chin: "It's interesting."

He looked around at the crowd and asked, "How do you think Archbishop Elvis will end up?"

"I will definitely not give up." Ladi said with certainty, "I have heard about the reputation of this archbishop when I was in Cape Bay. For such a 'devout' person, heretics are often more hateful than wizards and heretics. . But... huh, the Corner Bay Church will be punished for what it has done sooner or later."

There was an expression of resentment on Ladi's face, which was very rare for her who rarely showed emotion.

"If it gets too big, I think sooner or later the Holy See, the headquarters of the church, will get involved."

General Ford analyzed this, "The worship in the Corner Bay area is one of the main sources of income for the Holy See. The Holy See will never let the chaos in Corner Bay continue for a long time."

"The words of the steward reminded me."

Hansel suddenly interjected, "Lord Graiman, I think you should be prepared - as the Northwest Gulf continues to prosper, the Holy See may strengthen its influence here."

Paul frowned: "What? I made the territory prosperous to fill the people's stomachs, not to honor those fat-headed priests." Everyone here was his own people, so he didn't have any scruples about what he said.

Hansel spread his hands: "Maybe the big shots in the Holy See don't think so."

"Do you have any good countermeasures?"

Hansel lowered his voice and said: "The current Bishop of the Northwest Bay, Mr. Leonard, has been in poor health since he was imprisoned by Maltz Kent during the Assault War. Recently, there are rumors that this old gentleman will soon be favored by the Lord. Called, maybe this is an opportunity, if you want to seize it, you should prepare now.”

"I agree with Sir Hansel's proposal."

Controller Ford seconded the motion.

"I agree too."

"I agree too."

Department of Public Safety Director Ruth Hayden and others also expressed their opinions.

It is exciting to think about controlling the bishop of a region.

"This..." Unlike these "cold-blooded" guys, Paul's first reaction when he heard Hansel's words was a little sad. He still had a good impression of Leonard, the old bishop. If such a person is fooled, It’s such a pity that the Lord has called me.

"Let me think about this carefully..."

If you get involved in the bishops' dispute, who should you support? At present, there are only two high-level religious figures in the Northwest Bay who have good relations with him. One is Anderson, who succeeded Leonard as the abbot of the North Shore monastery, and the other is Morrison, who serves as the deputy abbot--the same person who Paul encircled and entrenched in Fulan. When he was a member of the pirate Shark Gang in Hong Kong, he rescued the captives from the church. Because he had a disgraceful past as a thief, Paul caught him.

Although the North Shore Abbey is located in a remote location, it is an important cradle of clergy in churches across the northwest bay, so it has a very special status.

However, Anderson's guy has too much capital. He can become the promotion of the dean of the monastery or his teacher, and is a bit unreasonable. He dealt with plants such as flowers and plants every day. It is not so much a scholar as a monk.

Morrison is relatively smooth, and he is good at handling customs. The north bank monastery is in charge of business, and he is well -organized. It seems that it is a good candidate for support. I don't know if I can control it after being a bishop.

At this time, he heard Hanser and said, "We can also ask His Majesty the help. At that time, the royal family and the Holy See had an agreement ..."

The royal family? Well, this is also a force that can be used. In order to maintain the relationship with the royal family during the rebellion war, he did not invest less. According to the news brought back from Jingyao, he was impressed by his adults.

"Lord Graman, I think another point."

Old Ford suddenly said.

"Once the battle end of the bay is opened, it will inevitably affect our trade with the East."

As soon as Paul was shocked, the head of the manager was right. The goods in Northwest Bay were shipped to Kok -Bay, and then the bay businessmen played the role of two traffickers and sold it to the east. Once they fought there, they could not play in the middle hub. Fit.

He thought about it slightly, "Then we will transport the goods to the east by ourselves.

"That's exactly that."

Ford's approach agreed that he had long wanted to say that, and added: "However, our caravan is not familiar with the route to the East. It needs to send a special exploration fleet to visit the road, draw a sea map, and inspect the port."

"You are right, and immediately notify Alin to prepare! Oh, let him come to Huxin Town first."

"Yes, adult."

"Oh?" Paul patted his head and suddenly thought of one thing.

"Everyone, in addition to exploring the east, we can also explore to the West."

The west? Everyone is puzzled. What else is there in the west except for the vast sea? At most, it is some desolate islands. If you are lucky, you can only find some indigenous peoples in the tribe era.

In fact, in the world view of most people present, the Kingdom of Oldo is already the world's extremely western place.

It is a bit understanding Paul. As a scholar, she has contacted a lot of novel views. "The meaning of adults ... verify that theory?"

"Haha, yes!" Paul picked up the pen and paper and drew a circle on it.

"Didn't anyone propose that the earth is a ball? Then let's verify that if it is really a sphere, then we send two exploration teams, and they can return to Oldo after a week.

"This ..." "A sense of ridiculous in the hearts, Count Alda Alida believed this distorted evil theory?

Some people have heard of Dianyuan, but people who listen to freshness, people who have normal brains think this is impossible. If the earth is a sphere, wouldn't the people living on the ground be dropped. No, it should be "up". Oops, how to describe it.

"Uh ... Lord Graman."

Ford's chief manager wants to persuade.

"I have made up their minds, one east and one west! One east and one west!"

Paul's tone is unquestionable.

Well, he is a lord, and everyone is helpless. Everyone has to obey what the lord decides.
