The fact that this cross-sea expedition was able to be carried out was the result of the new government's strength being better than before, and in the past, Neustria itself could not be protected, how could it launch such a long-distance attack? Now that militia organizations have been established everywhere to defend the localities, beacon systems have been built along all national borders, and the feudal separatist force in the country has been abolished, there is no need for villages and towns in the interior to guard against a large-scale attack by their neighbors, and villages and towns on the border have been given advance warning, and there are good roads for the rapid transport of mobile troops, and a great deal of troop strength can be saved.

At first, according to Luo Yi's idea, it was best to build a Great Wall along the land border, so as to block the land raid of the enemy's cavalry, but the amount of work was ...... In the end, the defense line was still established, but it was a simple defense line composed of checkpoints, beacon towers, trenches, and plantations on the avenue, which could not be compared with the neat and tidy Great Wall she envisioned - well, the Great Wall in many places was also simple because of its ugliness, and the Great Wall of blue bricks was also a later product - Luo Yi comforted herself.

Fortunately, although the new government of Neustria did not build a neat Great Wall, and her neighbors did not have any decent armies (if they had, they would not have been robbed by robbers from all walks of life like Neustria), so this line of defense was still very useful, and successfully warned several invasions of neighboring nobles, as for the kings of neighboring countries, Luo Yi and others speculated that they were probably as difficult to protect themselves as the king of Neustria, so they did not take advantage of the civil strife in Neustria. What pleased her the most was that the military art of the neighboring country was similar to that of the nobles of Neustria whom she had beaten, and they were all masters who did not even send scouts, far worse than the scheming northerners. The border defense troops, who had been with Chief of Staff Jason, beat them all up without much effort.

Now that the bandits in the country have been largely cleared, the two emerging gophers on the border have also been beaten back. The Great Demon King drew his strength to fight the old church forces led by the Great Abbey and the exiled royal family of St. Omer.

Regarding which one to beat first, she had an argument with the chief of staff and others.

Luo Yi thinks. The Great Monastery is there, and it will not run away with long legs, and when the exiled royal family returns after the fight and wins, the Grand Monastery has no reason to continue to resist stubbornly, and it can also save the troops of the attack, and it is possible to open the Monastery without blood; lost, just use the big monastery to top the tank, anyway, it betrayed the country and hooked up with the exiled royal family, and everyone in the court knew about it......

But. The chief of staff, Jason, thought that he should first settle the interior and then the outside, and first destroy the great monastery and then attack the exiled royal family, and his opinion was very reasonable.

First of all, the Great Monastery always passed on domestic information to the outside world, and it would be great if someone in the army told the priests who had a connection with the Great Monastery when he repented. A cross-sea expedition is not as simple as loading a soldier on a ship and dropping off a ship like playing a game, and the location, wind direction, and tide level of the landing must be strictly measured. You must know that the coast is not an artificial lake in the park, and even the locals may not know whether there are whirlpools or reefs under the water, so it is possible that the entire fleet will run aground directly on the shore. Even if you're lucky enough not to run aground, if the Great Monastery leaks. The soldiers were wading ashore when they were surrounded by the enemy, that ...... Even if they were to be given machine guns through the crossing, they would all be wiped out, after all, even Adair's people and their clan specialize in landing and looting, and experienced pirates. There were also large groups of men and horses who got lost in the storm, and then ran aground, surrounded in the shallows, and all the troops were destroyed, and even the king was killed in a pit.

Secondly, the Great Monastery was in addition to transmitting information to the exiled royal family. He also actively contacted the churches of other countries and encouraged foreign nobles and warriors to participate in the "Neustriac Liberation". It can be said that the day that the Great Monastery exists is recruiting troops for the exiled royal family, and defeating the Great Monastery first can directly weaken the exiled royal family. Moreover, the Grand Abbey itself is suspected of being involved in agitating the nobles and bandits from all over Neustria, although it did not work out (although it did not work out for any reason), and the Chief of Staff Jason has evidence in his hands, so to speak, if the Great Abbey is not defeated first, then it is very likely that it will once again incite the remnants of the old forces in the country to revolt while the army is sent abroad and the country is empty.

Finally, at a time when the royal court was in exile and the bishops were at both ends, the Grand Abbey seemed to be the last signboard of the old forces that could be used throughout the country, and not only did it not restrain itself because Her Majesty the Queen was merciful and did not deal with it for the time being, but on the contrary, it regarded the tolerance of the new government as weak, and blatantly engaged in those actions that were in touch with foreign countries day by day, and even openly proclaimed that the Pope of Neustria was not the real Pope, which greatly interfered with and opposed the public opinion of the new government - this was intolerable.

Luo Yi knew all these things, but the chief of staff's concentrated enumeration still surprised her a little: "It's so arrogant!" How can a man turn a blind eye to the blade under his nose? ”

But in the 21st century, there are still people who openly shout at 1.2 billion people after committing crimes against innocent passers-by: "We have 20 million!" Afraid or not! If you are afraid, hurry up (send money) to appease us! The figure of 20 million to 1.2 billion may be too large to understand, and removing zero can be seen as two men with knives shouting to one hundred and twenty men armed with guns: "There are two of us!" Afraid or not! If you are afraid, hurry up (send money) to appease us! It is no wonder that the Great Monastery turned a blind eye to the new government's expansion of armaments and warfare, and the cleaning of the Quartet, but thought that the other party was afraid of itself and became more and more evil.

Moreover, given the great monastery's precarious terrain, its vast power, its solid buildings, its reputation as the "blessing of the First Missionary Saints", and its many connections abroad and in the Eternal City, it is no wonder that it died unscrupulously.

If it dies like this, it will be fulfilled, and the Great Demon King Luo Yi made a judgment, among the evil things done by the Great Monastery, what she could not tolerate the most was to try to compete with her for the position of public opinion. How important is the position of public opinion - every time the big demon Luo Yi is complained by his friends in a dream, he understands it in modern times - can make a person deeply yearn for a place where he can go to the toilet and eat without paper, how strong is the brainwashing power of public opinion! After complaining, she remembered that her friend was not the most fooled, you must know that even the place in India where you use your hands to eat, go to the toilet or use your hands in modern times has countless people envy and yearn for it......

Do you cut the Great Monastery first, or wait for the results of the expedition so that in case you lose, take the top vat of the Great Monastery of the traitors? Luo Yi thought about it left and right, originally the archbishop was responsible for public opinion propaganda, but the former Bishop Tournest he hated the most happened to be from a major monastery, and because he was not from a major convent and was not a nobleman, he was suppressed by the other party when he was the bishop of Turnest, and after becoming the archbishop, the other party did not recognize him, he has a long-standing grudge against the grand abbey, and I am afraid that he cannot be fair and objective in this matter, so Luo Yi did not consult him on this matter.

In the end, Tim, who was still in charge of finance and commerce, and Adair, who had collected information on the Great Abbey, made Luo Yi make a decision: "If you copy the Great Abbey, you will have the military expenses for this army!" ”

After copying the great monastery, the ability of the successive abbots to collect money really did not disappoint Luo Yi, not counting all kinds of pearls and gems, land deed holy relics, just the cash silver, it was copied to as much as 5,000 pounds! Of course, there are some possessions that may have been deposited by the old nobles in the great monastery and the private savings of the senior monks, and Luo Yi honestly and unceremoniously "borrowed" them as military expenses without finding an IOU!

The church is so rich! No wonder you have to care whether the pirates or the nobles of their country love to rob the monastery! It's a hidden treasure chest!

She was happily calculating whether she could copy some of the other bad monasteries and churches as well, when something went wrong again.

Jenny, the original commander of the expeditionary force, was actually pregnant. (To be continued......)
