192 Why not
"Your Majesty, you want to support the 'regional agents', right?"
Xue Taishen had already confirmed predictably that the most important thing a smart subordinate should do is to anticipate the instructions that his superiors are most likely to make, and prepare in advance, well, in every sense!
"That's right, Xue Taishen, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is in charge of political intelligence work, so you shouldn't just send someone to check such a thing." Hong Tiancheng replied with a determined face.
"Originally, because the remnants of the Holy Sword Knights actively hid their sense of existence and only held limited gatherings in Livonia, they did not attract our attention.
But when they took the initiative to expose, everything became simpler, because the knight leader of the Celestial Foreign Detachment Cutler himself was a traditional nobleman with a lot of prestige in the Livonian region, and it was not difficult for this kind of public lord figure to check his strength and the love of the locals, and it was under his protection that the remnants of the Holy Sword Knights survived to this day.
With a revival heart that is not afraid of battle, a good reputation in the local area, a certain elite base itself, a weak and easy to control, and the former Knights of the Holy Sword Order's rule in the Livonia region is quite popular, these conditions add up to the qualifications of being used as a 'agent' by the Kingdom of Heaven. ”
Xue Taishen summarized and analyzed the information he obtained.
"Well, the only thing missing is to make sure that these Holy Sword Knights are willing to use us, for a force like the Holy Sword Knights who have a good foundation in the local area, what they want to expand their army lacks is only money and weapons, these things are nothing to the Heavens, our warehouses are full of captured and useless junk weapons, the warriors of the Heavenly Kingdom have been fully equipped with flintlock muskets, and those old arquebuses can just be used as bargaining chips.
However, I need a good enough to ensure that the Knights of the Holy Sword will not turn their faces and become enemies of the kingdom of heaven after receiving our funding to expand their military strength, Xue Taishen, do you have any good proposals? ”
Hong Tiancheng picked up a goblet containing amber red wine and took a sip, raising his eyes and signaling.
"Your Majesty the Heavenly King, in the past, it may be difficult to confirm whether an armed group of knights with their own obsessions is really willing to charge for the Kingdom of Heaven, but now there is a ready-made 'Petition for Nomination' in front of the Kingdom of Heaven, although we Jinyi Wei can't find out who the current leader of the Holy Sword Knights, Ketler, is trying his best to protect, but it is not difficult to know the importance of this protected woman to the Holy Sword Knights.
Ketler is not a brainless reckless man, otherwise it would not be possible to gather a group of real knights with considerable combat effectiveness and holy sword belief around him decades after the collapse of the Holy Sword Knights, since he is willing to expose the risk of being exposed to the vision of the Heavenly Kingdom, drawing his sword against the expatriate team of the Heavenly Kingdom can only mean one thing, that woman he must ensure her safety, and even that Ketler wants to curry favor with that woman!
With Ketler's status, there are many noble women worthy of his please, which is why we can't specifically verify the identity of that woman, but Heaven doesn't need to know the specific identity of this woman, just know her importance to the Knights of the Holy Sword.
If the Knights of the Holy Sword want to get the support of the Kingdom of Heaven, the first thing they need to do is to hand over the unknown woman they are protecting, so that the Knights of the Holy Sword of Cutler will have a handle in our hands, which is also the bargaining chip for us to drive Ketler to make the first combat mission for the cause of Heaven.
Presumably, Ketler would not be willing to risk offending a big force or big man in the rear to cooperate with Heaven for a batch of weapons and equipment, as long as Ketler handed over that woman, it means that in Ketler's mind, the revival goal of the Holy Sword Knights is much higher than others!
Your Majesty, I have always believed in one truth: the most important prerequisite for sincere cooperation is that both sides have a common goal.
An inconsequential Livonia in exchange for a combat-ready white knight vanguard cannon fodder would do no harm to the great cause of the kingdom of heaven where human resources are scarce. ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
Hong Tiancheng smiled and clapped his hands, and said with appreciation: "Your reasoning is very good, in the future, if my Heavenly Kingdom wants to dominate the world, it is naturally impossible to rely on a limited number of Heavenly Kingdom warriors alone, the Holy Sword Knights are just the first experimental product of our Heavenly Kingdom's cultivation of a white vanguard corps with combat effectiveness, if it is really useful, there will be a second, third and even countless Holy Sword Knights in the future, wielding swords and spraying blood in front of the cause of my Heavenly Kingdom."
There is nothing more pleasant than sitting in the back and driving the whites to kill each other and reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”
Hong Tiancheng from the 21st century hated the most during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, when the little devils drove the Han people to be puppet troops to suppress China.
Now that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom seems to have won many battles, Hong Tiancheng also has a full-scale war system plug-in, but no matter how many battles he wins, the army is only tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions at most, and there is also consumption in the war, and the summoned army will be lost in a large number of battles, and it is difficult to accumulate millions of elites in the real sense!
And Hong Tiancheng's ambition is very great, the population of the European continent alone is close to 100 million, the Taiping Army, as an outsider of different races, is congenitally inferior in public opinion, any royal bloodline with a little prestige can stir up trouble in the Taiping Army's occupied area, in order to maintain the Taiping Army's unproductive war machine, Hong Tiancheng has to carry out predatory exploitation and rule in the occupied area, and it is even more impossible to win the hearts of the people.
Therefore, supporting some white regiments with combat effectiveness to share the military pressure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has become a big goal for Hong Tiancheng next, who called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom so many enemies, as if it could never be killed?
Since no white country is willing to become an ally with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Tiancheng simply supports a few junior allies by himself, and when American imperialism in the 21st century fights a war, it also calls friends to pull a bunch of allies to go to war together, and Germany, which was so powerful during World War II, is also followed by the servant army of the protectorate country, providing a lot of manpower, otherwise, it is impossible to resist for several years under the Soviet Union's desperate tactics of manpower.
The historical lessons of later generations, Hong Tiancheng felt that he was very necessary to learn, the Holy Sword Knights were an attempt by him, anyway, there was no loss if he failed, why not do it?
