Chapter 331: The Temptation of Money
readx;
"Since it's to suppress the bandits, how can they have anything to do with Allen? The Bols Bandits are from the regular army of Higg, the big leader Bols himself is a great swordsman, and the second leader Emaar is also a well-known great magician in the mainland, and his fire magic is especially important in the legion's combat, so it is more appropriate for the adults to send the Tiger or the Evil Wolf Mercenary Group, right?"
Herbert asked a little strangely, the number of Bols horse bandits was about two thousand, and to exterminate such a group of horse bandits in the unfamiliar Higg, at least a mercenary team of more than five thousand people was needed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The Bolsma bandits have plagued Higg for many years, but the Hig court has not found a way to completely solve this banditry, of course, this is not only a problem of Higg's military strength, but also a problem of the attitude of the Holy See and Yus, both the Holy See and Yuss do not want Higg to be peaceful, so the extermination of the Boersma bandits can not be done by relying on a large number of people alone. ”
"It's understandable that Yous doesn't want Higg to be peaceful, but I don't understand why the Holy See has similar thoughts? Busman Rolland has succumbed to the Pope's knees, Higg is equivalent to fat meat in the mouth of the Holy See, and Des Hepburn is not afraid of his teeth if he keeps such a nail as the Bolshorse bandit?"
"Old friend, you think it's simple. The Holy See took advantage of the opportunity to assist Higg in quelling the Bols rebellion and laid the foundations of the faith in the eastern part of Higg. During the civil strife, the people in eastern Higg were deeply affected by the Boers rebels, and they are still afraid of Boers, so as long as the Poles horse bandits exist for a day, the nobles and commoners in eastern Hig will be worried that Poles will come back one day, and in the Sigg civil strife, they have lost confidence in the Higg court, and put all their hopes on the Holy See, and they are the ones who do not want the Holy See to leave, but once the Poles horse bandits are eliminated, this threat does not exist, and the actual significance of the Holy See's thigh is not so great. The Church Emperor Si is not a simple religious leader, he does not believe that the power of faith alone can control the eastern part of Hig, so although Higg is the fat in the mouth of the Holy See, as long as the owner of this fat meat does not die for a day, the Holy See will not easily pull out this nail, but it will not let this nail become a sharp knife, and even he himself will be threatened. Therefore, maintaining the status quo, and even appropriately conniving at the Bolsma bandits, is exactly what the Holy See is willing to see. ”
Hollanster explained Herbert's insidious intentions to Herbert, and although he had been in the north, he was still well aware of the situation in the south.
"My lord, since the Holy See has not yet completely swallowed Higg, then we may be able to operate flexibly, disperse the large mercenary group into several small teams, enter Higg in batches, and then assemble to act, so that we may be able to hide from the Holy See's eyes and ears, and wait until the task is completed, even if the Holy See knows the truth, it can't help us. ”
Herbert listened to Holancet's explanation and immediately understood the political shady involved, not that the Higg Empire was incapable of suppressing bandits, but that the Holy See did not allow you to use all your strength, so it was the right choice for Busman Rolland to find mercenaries. It is normal for mercenaries to accept the task of suppressing bandits, as long as they can hide from the eyes and ears of the Holy See and complete the task, then the Holy See can only secretly swallow bitter water in addition to applauding the mercenaries' actions, and it is a righteous act worthy of affirmation to exterminate a group of horse bandits full of evil no matter where they are placed.
"Old friend, the biggest obstacle to the suppression of bandits in the Hig Empire is the Holy See, but if we start to suppress bandits, the biggest obstacle is Yus. We use more than 5,000 mercenaries to operate, maybe we can hide from Des Hepburn, but in any case, we can't hide from Vettels Yuss's ears and eyes, don't look at Vettels has been ignoring the affairs of the ancient city of Austria for so many years, but I am sure that there are a lot of his spies lurking in the city-state, and it is impossible to hide any wind and grass from him, even if the operation on the side of the ancient city of Austria is successfully concealed, it is impossible for the mercenaries of 5,000 people to leave the country silently, so many people will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Hig border guards, and when the time comes, as long as they find a reason not to clear the customs for us, we have no choice but to choose to smuggle, but at the risk of being hunted down by the Yuss border guards, so it is not feasible. ”
Hollanster seems to have considered this option long ago, so when Herbert proposed it, he denied it almost without hesitation.
"My lord, according to what you said, if we take over this task, we will definitely be discovered by Yus, but I am afraid that the Holy See will also know about it at that time, and at the same time provoke Yuss and the Holy See, which may affect our great cause of revival. I would suggest that it is better not to take this risk. ”
Herbert touched his beard and said with a solemn expression.
"I don't want to take on the task either, but Boothman Rolland's bid is tempting. ”
Whether as a businessman or a politician, money is always the deadliest temptation, and when he said this, Holland's eyes even flashed with gold coins.
"My lord, don't delay a big thing because of a small profit. ”
"300,000 gold coins is not a small profit, and the commission of a large mercenary group for a year is not so much, if we can get this money, it will also be a huge help to the revival of our Godsa clan. “
Hollanster sighed and explained the reason for his hesitation, the revival of the Gothas needed a lot of money, and he certainly did not want to give up any deal.
"Adults should think twice. ”
Herbert also understands the importance of gold coins in his heart, only with gold coins can you have an army, only with supplies, and only then can you attract talents to work for you, but he looked at Holancest's golden eyes, and still reminded worriedly.
"Old friends are too worried, I won't do things that are big because of small things. Since large-scale military operations are not possible, we will use small groups of mercenaries to quietly complete it. ”
"My lord, the suppression of bandits is different from other tasks, it is impossible to do it with many people, so why don't you take action to send them to death if there are few people?"
"How can old friends be confused? There are many people who can win by strength, and few people can win by outwitting. ”
"So, you already have an idea?"
"Nope. However, the specific plan can be formulated by the person responsible for the task, so I hesitate now who should be responsible for completing the task, the Bols horse bandits are not easy to deal with, if you are not careful, not to mention the commission, you may even fold your own people into it, so the loss is huge. ”
Holancest's demeanor was relaxed, and he didn't seem to be worried about the bandits' plan.
"The difficulty of this task, my lord, I'm afraid that no one will dare to take it. ”
"I think there's someone who's going to pick it up. ”
"So, you want Alan to be in charge of this task?"
"Yes. By the way, let's also test the relationship between Alan and the horse bandits. ”
Horance nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
