Words written before the editor:

I took a look at the multi-play forum, and there are some things to talk about.

That's TK said that the car has become the mainstream.,At least play these several.,I haven't encountered a book car that exceeds level 8.,I'm not going to say this.,But I saw the ST-1 also lay down the gun.。

What does this mean? I don't think I need to be too clear. What 62-type, **-type and the like, there is a little truth. But the ST-1 lying gun, what is the situation?

The two cars of ST-1 and ST**-1 are MT, and they seem to be far from ST-1.

TK: Can you say that you are patriotic?

This question is a matter of opinion, just like if you talk about things in the virtual world, in case you really go to war with yourself...... Hey, how many more?

Some things are okay to talk about, but how you do it is another matter.

It's like a demonstration, smashing the car on the street, this situation can only be said to be called pseudo-patriotism, just ask, can the owner of the car recruit you to provoke you?

I remember saying before that this car is not necessarily produced by myself, but more of a product of Sino-foreign joint ventures and other enterprises.

These products are more of a Chinese effort.

Some people can accuse their compatriots of not working for these companies, but if they don't do the job, will their families let those people support them?

Patriotism is a good thing, but it depends on the situation, doesn't it??

Below is the text.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Shixin didn't know how many disciples still existed in the several mechanized divisions of the Kapani Kingdom, but he had given up his plan to fight with these troops.

Zhang Shixin didn't trust the officers of the Kapani Army, he didn't want to cause the war situation to deteriorate because of his negligence.

At the same time, Zhang Shixin did not know how many reinforcements the Papal States had sent, so in such a situation, he could only look for advantageous fighters in the defense.

Zhang Shixin was not worried about the other party's strong attack, but he was worried that he would be too rash and be besieged by the enemy.

After all, he did not have many troops, only about 10,000 people. Although his troops can be said to be highly armored, they are not able to compete with enemy forces that are several times more numerous.

Today is the sixth day after that failed battle, and Zhang Shixin is still holding a military meeting at this time.

However, in this meeting, where there was nothing to discuss, Zhang Shixin unexpectedly received a telegram.

That is, the Papal States were in civil strife.

This information was conveyed by the intelligence organization of the Gultoka Empire, and the credibility is quite high. But Zhang Shixin did not dare to draw conclusions, because he was not familiar with the situation in the Papal States at all.

Zhang Shixin and his gang are blind to this situation, but they also have people who are very aware of the situation in the Papal States.

It can be said that the two people of Gillias and Binion can let them find the answer.

Vatutin didn't have much feeling for these captives of the Papal States, but Dimitri had some objections to Zhang Shixin's opinion:

"Boss, what should we do if we tell those people about this and they mislead us?"

Zhang Shixin knows very well that what Dimitri said is not unreasonable, after all, it is not more than usual, and Gillias and Binion will not help Zhang Shixin as usual when they receive such a situation, Zhang Shixin is not too sure about such a situation.

But Zhang Shixin knows very well that there is no way to go on like this, the fighter plane is fleeting, and Zhang Shixin doesn't want to become a wasted opportunity.

After Zhang Shixin glanced at the telegram again, he took a deep breath: "Please invite the Holy Maiden of Binion and the Knight Captain Gillias to come here." ”

Zhang Shixin said this sentence, which is an attitude in itself.

He was also gambling on whether he would have this chance or not.

……

In about ten minutes, two people appeared in Zhang Shixin's conference room.

Zhang Shixin glanced at the two people in front of him, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal about these two people, Zhang Shixin, who didn't want to waste time, directly handed the telegram to Jilias: "I hope you can help me make a judgment after seeing this telegram." ”

Gillias took the telegram, and after reading it, his eyes were a little red, and he handed it to Binion.

After a few more moments, Binnyne took the telegram and sobbed under her breath.

Zhang Shixin was a little surprised by such a situation, but he was quickly relieved.

Surprisingly, the dead pope mentioned in the telegram seemed to be very respected by the two men in front of him. Relieved, Zhang Shixin suddenly felt that these two people should not cheat him.

As for the reason?

Quite simply, if these people wanted to avenge the Pope, who was found starving to death in his dormitory, they could only rely on external forces to accomplish such a thing by relying on the forces of the Knights, who were called the Papal Order.

Zhang Shixin knows very well that his idea is a bit of a danger to others, but this kind of cooperation is just to take what everyone needs.

So, he just looked at the two people and didn't speak.

……

After a long while, Zhang Shixin said a sentence: "Please mourn, but I invited you over this time mainly to find out the ...... of the Papal States Factions, if it's convenient for you right now, can you explain? ”

After hearing Zhang Shixin's words, the two of them subconsciously glanced at each other, because they couldn't imagine that Zhang Shixin didn't know much about the information of the Pope's State.

But then it also occurred to them that although the Papal States were not quite closed countries, it was not surprising to non-believers that they did not know about the Papal States.

They also knew very well that Zhang Shixin would not ask about these things for no reason.

So, the red-eyed Binion gave Gillias a look, and the latter asked Zhang Shixin: "I don't know why His Excellency the Duke asked this question?" ”

"Because, I am a businessman, and there is no reason to give up on the business in front of me." Zhang Shixin showed a hint of a smile.

When the two of them heard Zhang Shixin's words, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then they quickly understood the meaning between Zhang Shixin's words:

"I can do what I can for you, but I'm a mercenary leader, and you can negotiate a business at a reasonable price."

It can be said that the two of them are quite disdainful of the extraneous meaning expressed by Zhang Shixin, but it is true that as Zhang Shixin said, they can cooperate further.

So, after thinking about the gains and losses, Binion said to Zhang Shixin: "What do you want?" ”

Zhang Shixin smiled, because this is a question he likes, there is no one.

"I only need a moderate amount of gold, of course, this is a discounted price for the Elven Dragon Security Company."

Those who know Zhang Shixin know very well that Zhang Shixin is quite pragmatic in this regard.

But for Zhang Shixin, the property he collected was mainly used to expand armaments, it can be said that now the Elven Dragon Security Company only relies on the little income of the fiefdom, and the troops under him are almost 25,000 people, and after the salary is paid, the remaining money is not enough for the consumption of training. It can be said that Zhang Shixin can only find additional sources of income as much as possible.

Under this premise, Zhang Shixin had to show his philistine side again.

……

Is the Papal State rich?

Zhang Shixin didn't know, but judging from the Papal State's source of income with a large number of donations, and the fact that there were a lot of businesses in various places, the financial income of the Papal States should be much better than that of the current Capani Kingdom.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin also has the mentality of not slaughtering nothing.

Of course, these were all secondary, and he knew very well that he had to figure out first, and he didn't know whether it was a friendly or enemy Papal State force in front of him.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and this truth made Zhang Shixin understand that if the "friend" is beaten, then this is not a good thing.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin had to figure out the situation first.

In fact, Zhang Shixin also saw a clue in the intelligence, that is, the Papal States are almost free of a formal civil war now.

It can be said that this is a good opportunity for Zhang Shixin and others.

Being able to save some effort to do the original thing is easy to have an answer to such a multiple-choice question.

Because Zhang Shixin had to make a judgment on the situation in front of him, he didn't mind spending nearly half an hour to understand the situation in the Papal States.

Perhaps, some things about these two people are not very clear, but for Zhang Shixin, the information he got is also quite valuable.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

Compared with the Holy See of Zhang Shixin's original world, such as Catholicism and other sects, the Papal State of this world can be said to be similar to the Vatican Holy See.

But there are also big differences.

First of all, the Pope's hierarchy is divided into the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son (the last of whom has had no successor since he was killed in the War of Holykaln in alliance with Beres more than 300 years ago). ), archbishops (the actual position and functions are equivalent to cardinals on earth), bishops, priests, priests.

It can be said that this hierarchical distribution has many similarities with the religions of the earth.

However, the number of troops in the Papal States has always been maintained at seven knightly orders, with a total of 140,000 regular troops.

At the same time, the Papal States also had a considerable number of papal guards, although these troops generally only had the title of knighthood and did not have actual titles.

Unlike the rest of the world, knights with titles are in fact equivalent to captains or lieutenant company commanders, and the commander-in-chief of a knightly order is generally called a grand knight.

And now a great knight is already the highest rank of knighthood.

In fact, above the Great Knight, there is also the title of Templar of the Round Table, which has not been posthumously sealed for many years.

Because the Templars of the Round Table were able to compete with the Pope militarily, the title was gradually forgotten by successive popes of the Papal States.

Under normal circumstances, the regular legions of the Papal States, such as the Knights commanded by Anfield, had only one Grand Knight. But the legion that Zhang Shixin defeated was just the Holy See Guard that was named the Knights. This force, which had three archknights, was in fact nothing more than an expedient measure by the Papal States to co-opt the archbishops in power.

In fact, apart from the title, the official Grand Knight is half a level higher than the other Grand Knights, but has no actual command rights.

Of course, in the case of a good relationship, it is another matter to carry out coordinated operations.

In this case, this rather serious problem arose in the Papal States, which had become a link between the Knights, who were loyal only to the Pope, and the Holy Guard, which had gradually been reduced to the private army of the archbishop.

It can be said that rifts had already appeared in the army of the Papal States, and relations between the pope and the various archbishops were already quite tense before the start of the war.

After Zhang Shixin got the news, he was puzzled and asked his own question: "Didn't you say that the pope was also elected by the archbishops?" Logically speaking, this cannot be the case. ”

Binion's answer surprised Zhang Shixin, because there were also several factions among the archbishops, so the popes elected by the past generations were actually the victorious results of the strongest faction at that time.

And this situation has become worse and worse since the Papal States began to form a semi-military organization of the Papal Guard on a large scale.

At the same time, the seven knights are not monolithic, but on the surface, they all obey the Pope's orders.

It can be said that the Papal States have long been planted with the roots of **. It's just that it has only now erupted.

……

Zhang Shixin was quite helpless about the current situation, because he still couldn't figure out which troops could be considered potential allies.

He wanted to beat the other party up at once, but if he hit the wrong target, the problem was quite serious.

In the end, Zhang Shixin could only use one "stupid method", that is, to let Gillias contact with the Knights of the Papal States he was facing.

Zhang Shixin knows very well that such a method is very risky, after all, compared with King Capani**, Zhang Shixin knows that if something deviates in this situation, he can be said to be to blame.

But is there anything better than this?

No, it was impossible for Zhang Shixin to carefully identify which unit the other party was.

In other words, Zhang Shixin can only try his luck and gamble.

As for the saintess Binion, Zhang Shixin knew that it didn't matter if he let the other party go at this time, but the other party still had a certain use value, and could be used as a half hostage, so Zhang Shixin naturally would not let go of such a bargaining chip.

Zhang Shixin did not think about using this unexpected change to seek greater benefits. But Zhang Shixin had to give up this rather ** idea.

Because he knows a sentence very well:

It is very difficult to destroy a nation, it is even more difficult to destroy a nation, and it is even more difficult to destroy a faith.

It can be said that the fact that the Papal States became a purely religious organization can be accepted by many people, and the problems that will arise are relatively small.

But what if he does something too much with a few countries...... Zhang Shixin knows that whether or not he can succeed is no longer a chance, but an impossible situation.

Therefore, Zhang Shixin can only make more reasonable requests.

Moreover, the other countries would not agree to the proposal to eliminate the Papal States altogether, because if they dared to do so, they would have to face many problems as a result.

This is completely more than worth the loss, whether it is the Hilton Empire, the Capani Kingdom, or the Gultoka Empire.

Although it is no longer the age of divine authority of kings, if the ruling people have a considerable number of followers, every monarch will be jealous.

There have been cases of complete success in destroying a country, but Zhang Shixin really has never heard of such a religion with such great influence disappearing into history.

Nestorianism is an exception, but Zhang Shixin does not agree with this religion, because if even his own beliefs are vague, is there still a need for existence?

It can be said that many things, once religious beliefs are put on the table, have become something else.

Because it becomes more cumbersome.

Just like Zhang Shixin's original world, the Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan and other regions are in a mess, mainly because the opposition forces have such a religious appeal.

After all, many people in these regions are born to be members of a certain sect.

It can be said that it is impossible to destroy a country like the Papal States without sufficient strength and courage.

At least Zhang Shixin didn't think that the monarchs of the three countries had the courage.

As for him, an atheist, he would not do such a thing, roasting himself and his subordinates directly on the fire.

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

That night, Gillias returned to Zhang Shixin's camp and just said a word to Zhang Shixin:

"Your Excellency, the other party is willing to cooperate with you, but he has one condition, that is, he wants to continue to serve the Papal States."

Of course, Zhang Shixin knew the meaning of this sentence very well, and he didn't feel strange that Jilias told the other party everything.

After all, if you want to convince the other party, Zhang Shixin will say something that convinces the other party.

Because this is the basis for cooperation between the two sides.

But Zhang Shixin felt strange why the commander of the opposite army wanted to continue to be a big knight.

Of course, Zhang Shixin did not say this, but convened an emergency meeting.

After all, since there was already a clear goal, it was not a way for Zhang Shixin and the other mechanized troops of the Kapani Kingdom to spend time here.

The situation in the Hilton Empire is getting worse and worse, and it can be said that it is more beneficial for the Hilton Empire and the alliance of the two countries to solve the problem of the Papal States as soon as possible.

After all, due to financial pressure, the Kapani Kingdom can only send a small number of troops to support, while the Gultoka Empire can only assist the Hilton Empire to clean up the catastrophic zombie hordes because of the need for reserve mobilization.

A fierce battle between the two alliances and the Beres alliance is unlikely, as the military strength of the two alliances and the Hilton Empire has not yet recovered, and they can only resort to stalemate to maintain the front.

In this case, the sooner the question of the Papal States is resolved, the more it can be said to be of considerable help to the worsening of the situation.

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Shixin asked a small number of reconnaissance troops to go to the defense area of the Knights, and he found that the other party had indeed retreated the strategically important area to Zhang Shixin, just as Gillias had said.

Zhang Shixin immediately informed the other friendly forces and carried out the advance of the troops to assist in the defense.

In the turret of the E-75**, Zhang Shixin looked at the cleaned up town through the periscope, and could only smile bitterly.

Because he never thought that the situation would change to this point because of an accident, it would actually happen to him. (To be continued.) )
