Seeing Jay Chou's somewhat embarrassing appearance, Zhang Tie knew that this guy must have thought badly.

Therefore, he couldn't help but laugh helplessly.

"I said, do you think I'm one of those brainless idiots? How could I have ordered the army to be reduced at such a time, it is completely impossible. ”

Jay Chou stood with a red face, and he didn't know how to speak.

Indeed, he was wrong just now, and the Governor did not say anything about reducing the army. It was his own cranky thinking that made up what a ridiculous misunderstanding, and it was his own problem.

Who let his thinking be so divergent, and actually thought of such a point in a cranky way.

"Don't worry, don't think about such things in the future. I can tell you responsibly that in the future, our army will not be downsized, but will continue to expand. Don't you have to worry about such a thing happening, Zhilu Dao? ”

Although this was a misunderstanding, Zhang Tie became a little sensitive.

Because he didn't know if this was the personal concern of the commander of the third group on the other side, or if it was a private concern of all those officers.

If it's a personal concern, then there's nothing to worry about.

However, if all the officers were afraid that such a thing would happen. Then it is necessary to pay more attention to yourself, because this is really a source of instability in the army.

Today's empire is not very strong, although it is very strong on the outside. However, whether it is Zhang Tie or Song Hu, or even Wang Shan, who is far away in San Francisco, they all understand that in fact, their foundation is very thin.

Now they just look bluffing.

If there is really trouble, although it can be solved, it will also give them a lot of headaches.

Especially if this trouble comes from within, it has to be guarded against.

If the Song Empire wants to rise. First of all, in addition to the population and economy, it is necessary to have a well-established and large army and navy to rely on.

The Army is only beginning to take shape, and it has not yet achieved its goals. And it will take some time for the Navy to start working.

Therefore, the army at this time must not have any problems.

If something goes wrong, it will greatly affect the development of the empire, and at the same time, it will also cause unnecessary trouble.

Zhang Tie knew that although it had been purged twice, there were still some churches in China that had slipped through the net. They've gotten much smarter now. I already know how to hide myself, and I won't act so high-profile.

Even, they will hide themselves for a while, making themselves look like ordinary people.

Instead of being like the fools of the previous two times, the situation is high-profile and wants everyone to know about them.

If the Imperial Army is unstable and is known by these hidden guys, God knows if they will use this to stir up some trouble.

This is the most worrying problem for Zhang Tie after thinking about it.

As for the church, the Song Empire's high-ranking people have always regarded it as a flood beast.

The reason is simple. Because people who have been brainwashed and have faith are very terrible.

They are not afraid of life and death, and possess a very fanatical and terrifying power.

The devastation brought by such people is very powerful.

Therefore. The high-level leaders of the Song Empire absolutely did not want such a person to appear in their own country.

Even if there are such people, they should be controlled in their own hands. Instead of believing in the so-called 'god' of Europe.

The Song Empire had already had such problems twice, although they were both solved with good luck. But no one can guarantee that there will be no third and fourth times. And even more such things.

Judging from the first two incidents, such troubles have become bigger and bigger each time, and even riots have occurred the second time.

So if there is a third time, wouldn't it be even more powerful than the second time?

After all, the enemy is also learning and constantly changing themselves.

Most notably, the enemy has learned to hide his identity in order to be able to take root in the Americas, and then slowly but surely accomplish his goal.

In such a situation, the enemy will not be able to seize them without revealing their deeds. There is no way to solve these people, it can be said that this makes Zhang Tie have a headache and vigilance, and at the same time, he is also a little weak in his heart.

Because he knows all too well the terrible nature of these fanatical believers who have faith.

For the sake of the supposedly glorious and glorious God in which they believe, they can even use any means to punish those who do not respect their faith.

And the top of the Song Empire were obviously their enemies.

You must know that the Song Empire is obviously not interested in the church. He even taught the church twice, killed many of their pastors and church personnel, and dealt with a lot of staunch believers.

This is simply something that they cannot tolerate on the part of the Church in Europe.

Any question can be discussed, but it is impossible for the church to retreat on matters of faith.

The Crusades hundreds of years ago, although it was said that the church was trying to divert the discontent of the European people, also indirectly showed their mobilization power, didn't it?

Even in the present early seventeenth century, when the power of the Church had begun to decline on the European continent, it was not to be underestimated if it were to be mobilized.

Don't look at the alliance between Portugal and France, and also collusion with the Ottoman Turkish Empire, but neither Portugal nor France dared to say that it was against the Church, but against the Habsburg princes.

At the same time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire did not join in under the guise of the so-called Islamic faith, and it was ostensibly for the benefit of the Mediterranean.

Look, anyone who is smart can see it, right?

If Portugal and France say that it is the Church that they are going to fight against, then the Church can openly issue some words in the name of God, so that the believers in Portugal and France can stand up against the high-level leaders in these two countries.

In Portugal and France, the top brass is not very interested in the church, and even knows the essence of the church very well.

However, the people at the bottom are not very clear about this.

What's more, there are still some dissident elements in Portugal and France. If the church issued an order in this way, it would give them an opportunity and an excuse to rebel.

Therefore, Portugal and France will never be so stupid.

And when the church can't grasp the handle, there is no way to use this kind of ultimate.

The same is true for the American continent.

Today, the most populous city in Europe is Manhattan on this side of the Americas.

The number of Europeans living and working in this city has reached more than 800,000 and is growing by hundreds every day.

Excluding the children and women among these Europeans, the remaining young and strong are not a small number.

The children are still very simple, because they have not been brainwashed by the church for a long time, so they are easily assimilated after coming to the Americas, and they will not be interested in the church.

The women were even simpler, and because of the witch movement, women did not have a good time in Europe. Therefore, they will not care about the church.

What's more, they live very well here in the Americas, and they don't have to worry about anything like the European witch movement anymore. Why do they want to believe in the church again and contact the people of the church?

This is not a little good for themselves.

Because once the church takes root and develops in the Americas, then these church masters will have no way to survive if they make some witch movements in the Americas.

However, older European men had a lot of trust in the church than women and children.

The number of these people is about 200,000 or so, which is not a small number.

Don't look at the two purges, these guys are honest.

However, no one can guarantee that they still believe in the European god in their hearts.

After all, the human heart cannot be seen through.

Of course, there are also some people who have been oppressed by the church in Europe, or who have been bullied and abused by the church, and they have no color for the church.

These families from Europe also occupy a certain number.

But as long as the shadow of the church remains, then more care must be taken.

"My lord, it seems that I am wrong. But I really can't figure it out, what kind of things are you looking for me at this time? Could it be that there is a war about to break out? ”

Jay asked.

Zhang Tie stood up, walked in front of Jay Chou and looked him up and down.

"No, our Americas are now dominated by peaceful development, and there is a possibility of war. I'm coming to you this time to give you a mission. ”

Although there was a little disappointment, Jay Chou still straightened his body, and then said loudly: "Jay Chou, commander of the Third Legion, listen to the orders of the Governor!" ”

Zhang Tie smiled: "No need to do this, in fact, this task may not be dangerous or certain." Seeing the serious Jay Chou, Zhang Tie raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so serious. You look at this map first. ”

Jay Chou is still so serious, and the expression on his face is very stereotypical.

It seems that Zhang Tie's comfort did not have any effect.

In this regard, Zhang Tie was also a little helpless.

You must know that there are a lot of genetic people in Manhattan today, and most of them are cultivated in batches, so they are not useful. Although there are mutated guys every month, they are just ordinary people at most.

And those who have the genes of independent intelligent thinking personality do not have the existence of regular military background. Therefore, a guy like Jay Chou who joined the army and was also admitted to a military school is very important to Zhang Tie.

And Jay Chou, after listening to Zhang Tie's words at this time, looked at the map of the world world in confusion. (To be continued......)
