I Will Be The Crowned King

Chapter 22 Reliable Candidates

The reason why he chose the more threatening universal patriarch over the seemingly harmless Weizler family, a wealthy businessman, is also very simple - there is a fundamental conflict of interest between himself and him.

If his goal is only to be the garrison commander, it doesn't matter if he eats and waits for his qualifications in the colony; but his real mission is to help the Rune family gain a firm foothold in the colony and become the actual ruler behind the scenes of the Ice Dragon Fjord; and this It is impossible not to break out into conflict between such industrial owners who own a large number of fixed assets and occupy a substantial monopoly position.

The most direct example - in order to make the storm division self-sufficient in the colony, it is necessary to develop local industries and manufacturing, suppress the price of raw materials and reduce the import of local products, which will inevitably hurt the mines and forest farms in their hands. The interests of the Weizler family.

Even if the other party was willing to compromise, Ansen would not dare to hand over these industries related to the logistics of the Storm Division to a local local snake.

In contrast, the ecumenical patriarch had no such concerns.

Ecumenicalism, who was the first to stand up against the Holy See at this point, and the church have gone to two extremes - the latter has always been deliberately trying to establish a "kingdom of heaven on earth", while the former has no interest in the world and firmly believes that the church should only Responsible for matters of faith, while trying to simplify various religious ceremonies, even the meaning of the church is about to be abandoned.

To objectively evaluate the words of the Universalists, excluding their behavior of tossing heretics and heretics, as well as their fanatical jihad ideals, in 99% of cases, they should be regarded as a group of relatively simple and stubborn good people.

The most important thing is that the Weizler family's influence is only limited to Beluga Harbor, while Bishop Ripper has an influence covering the entire Ice Dragon Fjord colony.

As long as possible, Anson did not want to have only a small Beluga Harbor in the area under his control; in this regard, only the ecumenical bishop could possibly provide more help.

It is true that if the cooperation with the other party is too in-depth, it will greatly increase the probability of revealing that one is an old **** school or even a spell caster; but even if you deliberately avoid the other party, it does not mean that the risk is less than or equal to zero.

Then again, cooperation is a two-sided rather than a unilateral act. Why do you think that you must be affected, not the other?

There are even casters in the Inquisition, why can't an old **** sect be a devout believer of the Ring of Order at the same time? Anson has always felt that he is quite religious.

Forming an alliance with this universal patriarch can not only use the relationship and channels of the other party to connect the relationship network of the Ice Dragon Fjord and the rest of the colonies in the New World, it will make it easier for you to start your work later, and it can greatly improve the efficiency of your contact with them. .

If you can go a step further and simply become a high-level figure within the local Universal Sect, or get the piety protection of the "official mandate", wouldn't it be safer for yourself and the Rune family?

As for the specific method of operation...Since the jihad against infidels is "absolutely correct" or even "the only correct" within the ecumenical sect, Anson doesn't mind turning himself and the Rune family behind him into a "jihad banner" and will The old gods of the new world who were unwilling to cooperate were all slaughtered.

An old-fashioned "Holy Warrior family" who believes in the Ring of Order, sounds... how pleasant!

Now that a decision has been made, it is natural to take action as soon as possible to demonstrate sincerity to Bishop Ruiper and the Ecumenical believers in Moby-Dick Harbor; even if cooperation cannot be reached immediately, he must show his full sincerity.

Of course, since I have reached a compromise with Speaker Harold, and I have to cooperate with the Parliament as much as possible in all matters, I can't rashly visit in person... That would make me look like a person with no integrity, and it will be very damaging.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a person who can replace him and is specially responsible for the liaison with the church.

This person must look very honest, and at the same time be good at adapting to changes. At the critical moment, he knows how to let his side not bear any responsibility, and let the other side willingly take all the blame.

Most importantly, the person must be reliable.

Anson thought of a very perfect candidate.

………………

"Why me?"

In the early morning, Major Carl Bain, who was suddenly pulled and called for breakfast, was holding a cup of hot coffee with a look of surprise on his face.

"Because you are the person I trust the most, there is no one." Anson looked at his chief of staff with incomparable sincerity, and pushed a fragrant can of apples in front of him rather ingratiatingly.

This was obtained from Lisa with great difficulty. For this reason, Anson also promised her that if he wanted to go out in the future, he would take her first instead of Talia.

After spending two months on the boat, the girl had gone from indifferent at the beginning, to a little bit of opinion on Sister Talia's long-term "occupation" of Anson.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Carl Bain is still a little confused. To put it bluntly, Anson wants to win over the local church and pave the way for his "great journey" in the future, which is to find a way to make money for the Rune family.

Such professional negotiating work should obviously be handed over to the clerk, Alan Dawn - and he is also from the church.

"Because this matter cannot be a private act, it must be as official as possible." Anson explained patiently:

"The philosophy of the Universalists is to try not to interfere in worldly affairs, which in turn means that they have no interest in anything other than hanging pagans."

"And you also said that Allen was a clerk from the church. During the war of sectarian division, Ecumenical Sect was the first to rebel against the church, and he has been resisting until now - do you intend to let him be hanged as a heretic? ?"

Which one is the heresy... The chief of staff muttered softly and rolled his eyes helplessly:

"Then what can I talk to him about?"

"Of course it's faith!" Anson raised the corners of his mouth proudly:

"The current Beluga Harbor is a mixed bag, there are devout believers of the Ring of Order, various heretical beliefs and even the old gods. There should be a lot of them; our storm division wants to rectify the city appearance and maintain law and order, and we must impose on these potential threats. Heavy punch!"

Heavy punch?

Carl frowned and said in an extremely disgusting tone: "...You're not talking about the vigilantes, are you?"

The Carindia Vigilante Corps, which was built by the young clerk and Fabian, left an indelible impression on him - no logistics, no salary, no organization, training for three days to issue a uniform, a rifle or simply Just give them a bayonet and sprinkle them all over the port of Carindia like bait.

It is hard to say whether this "self-sufficient" security group has maintained the security of Carindia Port, but it is definitely the culprit that led to the subsequent riots in Carindia Port.

Does this guy plan to make another classic in the colony?

"Of course not!" Anson retorted decisively:

"And it wasn't my fault at the port of Carindia—the main reason was that the people of Carindia didn't know how to endure, otherwise the matter was actually settled very easily, and there would be no one that was conquered by the Imperial advance army later. tragedy!"

Carl Bain: "...you're absolutely right, go on."

"I plan to have a de facto military management system at Beluga Port - of course, the looser one." Anson said eloquently:

"Even if Beluga Port is really loyal to Clovis, it cannot change the fact that we are outsiders; if we want to have enough influence and not be ignored, we must try to show our sense of existence and let Moby Dick felt the difference before and after we came."

"But if you directly intervene, it is easy to arouse the resentment of the local people, so it is best not for us, but for a local force to take the initiative to invite us to maintain the security of Beluga Port with a tougher attitude, such as... …”

"Religious?" Carl understood.

Anson, who was holding the coffee, chuckled at him: "Exactly."

"The most important thing is not to use our own name - although we absolutely have this right - but to actively cooperate with the followers of Universal Buddhism, do nothing but maintain law and order, and let them promote for us. "

"believer?"

"The Ecumenical Church advocates a 'small church system', which is completely opposite to the Church of Order. An entire diocese may not have fifty priests, and can only cooperate with the believers." Anson explained:

"So Bishop Ripper's own attitude - especially his first impression of us is very important, because there is no second church person with the same influence as him to refute him; as long as he can nod his approval, the entire Ice Dragon Fjord will be All ecumenists will be on our side!"

Carl Bain nodded, he already understood Anson's thoughts: to use the maintenance of faith as a legitimate excuse, to win the active cooperation of the ecumenical emperor, and to establish an outpost and patrol covering the entire Beluga Harbor under the "support and proposal" of the other party. Internet, monitoring the entire city.

On the one hand, the opposition from within the Beluga Port will not be too strong, because there is an "absolute majority" of Universal Sejong propaganda for the Storm Division, even if there are other forces who want to oppose or resist, they can only do it secretly in private.

On the other hand, the issue of faith is also an excellent excuse to interfere in the interior of Beluga Harbor. After all, hanging a heretic is something that can never go wrong.

As long as the security of Beluga Port is successfully taken over without resistance, then everything will be easy to say.

What? What if there are pagans rebelling and making the situation worse?

That's right, there is a battleship and four cruisers parked outside the port of Beluga Harbor; when the storm division will be surrounded outside the city, and the port ships will bombard the city, no matter how many problems are no longer a problem.

This is also one of the reasons why Anson insists on purchasing warships from the Royal Navy. Even if it is just a small warship, with the army, it can pose a great threat to a port city.

"So my task is just to win over the Bishop of Ripper and let him cooperate with us to enter the White Whale Harbor to take over the security?"

"Yes, leave the rest to me, you just need to let him agree to this matter." An Sen nodded slightly:

"This is just the beginning. Next, we have to find a way to expand the sphere of influence and take control of the entire Ice Dragon Fjord colony as soon as possible - it is impossible to supply the entire Storm Division with only one Beluga Port. ."

Beluga Port is very rich and has great potential, but her potential is based on the premise of convenient transportation and coverage of surrounding areas; if you only control this port city, the resources you get are simply not enough to support so many factories , and can't afford to support an infantry division with more than 6,000 people.

"If the other party agrees, who will be responsible for the security of Beluga Port?"

"Um... how are you?"

"Me? Forget it, it's more appropriate to let Fabian come, he should be easier to get started with."

"Fabian doesn't have the time." Anson shook his head: "I made him responsible for the construction plan of the station and the headquarters. After that, the construction of the factory and the port renovation plan will have to be done by him."

"Then can I swap with him?" Carl rolled his eyes:

"It's okay for this little secretary, and he's also your cronie."

"No, I have to let him be responsible for negotiating with the Beluga Harbor Council and act as my plenipotentiary when I go out." Anson expressed regret:

"Sometimes...he may have to act as Miss Talia's plenipotentiary~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With Talia's character and way of speaking, Anson doesn't think those "civilized people" in the colonies can be 100% untouchable She was angry; considering the lives of the colonists, he thought it would be better for Alan Dawn to do this kind of work.

"Oh? Let the person specially assigned by Miss Sophia to be the plenipotentiary representative of your little fiancee of the Rune family. You are really... Forget it, when I don't say anything, I'll shut up." Karl raised his hands in surrender:

"Wait! Going out...what are you doing?"

"I'm going to take Lisa to the outskirts of Beluga Port, and I won't be back in about a day." Anson stood up directly, took the military coat from the hanger at the back, and put it on him casually:

"After I come back, I have to negotiate with the Beluga Harbor Council, so during this period of time, you will be responsible for all the work of stationing and negotiating with Bishop Ruiper - come on, you are the person I trust the most!"

"What are you doing in the suburbs?" Carl ignored Anson's thumbs up and the white teeth grinning at the corners of his mouth.

"Look at the local natural resources of Beluga Port, especially those forest farms and mines, as well as the surrounding villages and manors, and see what the output is - these things are always true, and there is no detailed concept just by looking at the numbers." Anson explained:

"In addition, if there is still time, I will probably check to see if there is any idle wasteland around and the specific location to see if it can be used by the storm division."

wasteland? Carl is even more confused:

"What do we want the wasteland to do?"

Anson put on his three-cornered hat, walked slowly to the door, turned his head and looked at Carl Bain at the dining table with a natural expression:

"Of course it's farming!"
