Chapter Ninety-Eight

"The merchant faction and the aristocratic faction are fighting?" asked Clitto, puzzled, "Aren't they already divided into spheres of influence, which is equivalent to splitting up their families?" Why are there www.biquge.info still fights?"

The intelligence officer in charge of the interrogation obviously knew the cause and effect of the incident, and immediately replied: "According to the merchant faction, it is the nobles who sent an army to attack the caravan posing as robbers. They approached the nobles to find important people, but the nobles not only refused to hand over the murderer, but instead beat them up, saying that they were harassing the border during this time. They couldn't get angry, so they did it. ”

"What about the aristocracy?" asked Clito again.

"The aristocratic faction's statement is that the merchant faction deliberately provoked first, planted blame later, and finally took the lead, which is really unreasonable!"

Clito nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is our position on this matter?"

"Director Easter told me that we in the Northwest Republic have no position. If I had to find a position, it would be to call for peace and persuasion. ”

Clito smiled: "This position is good, I like it!"

He is not the kind of warmonger who firmly believes that "when the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels", nor is he the kind of war maniac who shouts that "only iron and blood can solve problems".

Everyone is safe and secure and does not fight, which is naturally the best. If someone fights, what he wants to do most is to persuade the fight, not to take the opportunity to get some benefits.

In his opinion, the Northwest Republic is very rich, and there is not necessarily a lack of population, and in general the situation is very good, and there is really nothing special to rob.

No, even if you lack something, you can't grab it!

The Merchant faction and the aristocratic faction of the Gold Federation fought each other, and it was their civil war. As a neutral faction, the Northwest Republic should certainly try to persuade them to stop the war and restore peace.

That's what Clito thought, anyway.

After he laughed, he frowned again, thought for a while, and asked, "Has Director East analyzed who did this?"

Director East said he thinks there are two possibilities. One possibility is that the soldiers on the border on both sides are not honest and attack each other's civilians. This kind of thing is not uncommon and has happened quite often in past history. Between two hostile forces, this kind of thing happens very often. ”

Clito nodded and asked, "What about the other possibility?"

"Another possibility is that someone is behind the scenes, disguised as both sides, attacking the sentinels and civilians of the other side and instigating war. This kind of thing is also very common, and it is a common but very useful strategy. ”

Krito was stunned, thought for a long time, and frowned.

"How so? The merchant faction and the aristocratic faction are at war...... Who would want them to fight? If they fight, to whom?" he muttered to himself, lost in thought.

It wasn't until after the agent left that he was still thinking hard about what was going on.

He was very convinced of Easter's vision. Since East thinks that someone may be behind the trouble, then this possibility is definitely there, and it is not small.

He even felt that perhaps East had already made up his mind that the reason why he asked the intelligence officer to tell him both possibilities was just to take this opportunity to test himself and see his own vision.

So he could have asked Sui Xiong, but he didn't speak, just buried his head in his own thoughts, pondering the end.

"Which one do you think is more likely?" As soon as the light and shadow flashed in the Kingdom of God, Sui Xiong's clone came to Easter's side and asked, "What do you think is going on with the fierce conflict between the two forces within the Gold Coin Federation this time?"

"Do you need to ask? Someone is stirring the cracks. Esther put down his pen and said with a smile, "The merchant faction and the aristocratic faction are both seeking stability at present, and both want to develop steadily. The Merchant faction is training a new army and needs to buy time for it to take shape. The aristocracy needed to stabilize agricultural production and appease the lords who had changed their realms before. But outside of the Gold Federation, there must be people who don't want to see them live in peace like this, so they can't wait to provoke them to go to war, and hope that they will fight as fiercely as possible. ”

"Then what kind of force do you think it will be?" asked Sui Xiong.

"The biggest possibility is of course the Principality of Thunder, and the Eagle Kingdom is also possible. "After all, to benefit from the civil war of the Gold Federation, it only makes sense to be on a border with it." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it is also possible that the Dhaka Business Alliance, they and the Gold Coin Federation are both purely commercial countries, and they compete fiercely with each other. If the Gold Federation fights a civil war, they can take the opportunity to occupy a lot of markets. From this point of view, perhaps they are more likely to provoke a civil war in the Gold Federation. ”

"Are there no other forces?" asked Sui Xiong.

East thought carefully for a long time, and then shook his head: "At least I can't think of it, other forces may be able to benefit from it, but this benefit is obviously not enough to make up for it." For example, the Church of the Noble Gods, they will definitely be able to profit from this civil war, but how can they guarantee that the civil war will be won by the aristocratic faction? If the merchant faction wins, they will lose all their money. ”

"But if the aristocratic faction wins, they'll make a lot of money, won't they?"

Esther nodded, then shook his head again.

"It is unreasonable to use 10% of the capital to pursue 20% of the profit, and to risk losing all the money. He said, "Even if it is earned, the initial investment is too large, and it will definitely damage the strength of the aristocratic faction itself." If you don't want to damage the strength of the aristocratic faction, you have to damage the strength of the Church of the Noble God - the aristocratic faction is not stupid, and if you want them to fight to the death with the merchant faction, the Church of the Noble God must spend a lot of money, at least send a large number of holy warriors, priests, and priests to participate in the war. Although they have been established for hundreds of years, and they have the heritage of the previous Church of the God of Kingship, such a dozen will definitely hurt their vitality......"

"What if they don't send people to war?" Sui Xiong asked.

"That damages the influence of the Church of the Noble God. How can such a church expect the nobles to support it if it lets others go to war and does not send troops to support it?"

Sui Xiong thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the truth.

and wants to let others gamble, but he refuses to pay for himself, who will believe this kind of person?

"So, it's really unlikely that the Church of the Noble God is doing something?"

"Unless there's something I don't know, I don't see the need for the Church of the Noble Gods to fight this battle. East replied, but not with much confidence, "It's just...... The gods are so incomprehensible, and I'm not sure if there's a reason I can't think of it. ”

Sui Xiong smiled: "Don't worry, I'll investigate." Results will be available soon. ”

After saying that, he went to Vier to inquire.

If you want to say that the most well-informed among the gods, in addition to those who are professional intelligence gatherers, he is the god of pleasure who specializes in eating, drinking, and having friends all over the world.

If the god of nobility really has any tricks or conspiracy, Vier can always get a clue. (To be continued.) )
