Huang Fuji's "fishing" strategy was actually killing two birds with one stone, he not only caught the big fish of Du Tizhi, but also invisibly helped the "cuckoo bird" win the trust of the Gospel Ministry.

After the "Cuckoo Bird" developed the "Ape God", it went into hibernation, and a lot of information since then was provided by the "Ape God", until the "Ape God" was exposed and arrested, and the Ministry of Evangelization had to reactivate the "Cuckoo Bird".

There is a trust issue here, not that the Ministry of Evangelism suspects that the "cuckoo bird" betrayed the "ape god", because the "cuckoo bird" has no such motive, and the "cuckoo bird" is not the upline of the "ape god", the "ape god" is in direct contact with the ministry of the gospel.

What the Ministry of Evangelism is afraid of is that the "Ape God" confessed to the "Cuckoo Bird" after being caught, although the "Ape God" did not recruit, but the Ministry of Evangelism did not know, and there are still doubts here.

After the ministry re-activates the cuckoo bird, there will be some leeway. However, the first piece of information of the "Cuckoo Bird" allowed the Holy See to successfully blow up the armory of Tawantine, which proved that the "Cuckoo Bird" was still trustworthy.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the root cause is that Milton had to believe in the "cuckoo bird".

Ever since the "ape god" was exposed, Cardinal Joseph gave Milton an order to "close the loopholes", and Joseph was silent and clueless when he heard this order. That's the first pressure.

Next, Robert asked Milton to find out the main force and real strategic intentions of Taventine as soon as possible, although the two are of the same rank and are both cardinal priests, but Robert is the deputy commander-in-chief of this war, second only to Joseph, the commander-in-chief, Milton's first task as an intelligence officer is to assist Commander Robert to win this war, and he cannot ignore Robert's reasonable requests. This is the second stress.

In addition, the Ministry of Finance in the rear has repeatedly expressed the huge logistical pressure and demanded that the war be ended as soon as possible and that it not fall into the quagmire of a protracted war. This pressure was passed first to Commander Robert, and then indirectly to Milton. This is the third stress.

In the end, the headquarters of the Ministry of Evangelism was bombed, and Milton had a direct and unshirkable responsibility, and he had to make up for his mistakes. This is the fourth pressure.

Under this continuous fourfold pressure, Milton does not believe in the "cuckoo bird" that has proven himself, who else can he believe? He didn't have time to go and slowly verify, so he had to believe it.

To put it mildly, this is called rushing to the doctor.

Maybe there are all kinds of rules and regulations on the part of the Holy See, but the rules are dead, people are alive, and the rules are downward, not upward, and Milton can't use these rules to deal with Joseph and Robert above.

Rules are not shields.

Not to mention, the "cuckoo bird" also brought Milton a good thing

News, this good news can not only fulfill Joseph's request to "close the loophole", but also meet Robert's request to find out the true strategic intent of Tawantine, and even allow Milton to make up for it.

How could Milton not believe it?

It's like a man who is dying of thirst and discovers a clear spring in the desert, and his first reaction is definitely not to consider whether the water is poisonous or not, but to take a sip quickly.

Drink poison to quench thirst.

There are many problems that can only be considered in the state of ordinary mind, and the key is to have a normal mind first.

Having calm in the face of major events is a valuable quality that most people do not have.

On the contrary, Qi Xuansu and Huangfu have no such pressure, they are not afraid of delay, they can plan slowly, and if they can't make a plan, they can think about it again.

In terms of mentality, Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji have already gained the upper hand.

At this time, Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji reviewed the map and sand table over and over again, until both of them thought that there was no problem.

Qi Xuansu straightened his waist, "That's it, I see that Gong Da Zhenren personally commanded the attack on Del Rio, and that's it."

Huang Fu smiled, notified his secretary to come in, handed over the plan he and Qi Xuansu had drawn up together, and ordered, "Arrange for execution immediately."

The secretary took the order and left.

Qi Xuansu handed over a plan with some of the content cut to Du Tizhi

to the Ministry of Evangelism."

The full plan must only be known to the commander, and some of the plans are more in line with the identity of a praise painting.

Du Tizhi was very honest and sent it to the Ministry of Evangelization word for word.

Qi Xuansu did not relax his vigilance, and personally monitored Du Tizhi, not giving Du Tizhi a chance to play tricks.

After sending it, Du Tizhi looked at Qi Xuansu and said respectfully, "Chief Qi, I'm done sending it."

Qi Xuansu approvingly, "Very good, I'll come like this in the future." If you do a good job, I can arrange for you to go to the Kunlun Dao Mansion to cultivate the Taoist Temple."

Du is not angry but happy, and it is better to monastic than to lose his life directly.

Ants still steal life, let alone people.

Ministry of Evangelism.

When Milton received the information from the Cuckoo Bird, he could not hide his joy, and said to Alex, "The main force of Tawantine wants to start from Monterrey, advance in a northwesterly direction, cross the tributaries of the Rio Grande, and approach del Rio, swing

It is clear that we will cut off the retreat of our army. How's it going on your side?"

Alex said, "The small airships we sent out have detected that part of the Tawantine army has been massed near the tributaries of the Rio Grande, and there is also a large movement of people in the direction of Monterrey."

Milton smiled and said, "That's right, in the words of the Orientals, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and Tawantine has already begun to prepare in advance for the next rapid march. I think we can report to Robert."

Milton did not forget to explain to his secretary, "You continue to urge the 'cuckoo bird, do not slack off, continue to collect more and more valuable information.'"

Soon, Du Tizhi received a positive reply from the Ministry of Gospels, and she immediately informed Qi Xuansu and Huang Fuji of the news.

After Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji discussed, on the basis of the original plan, they decided to send another 20,000 second-line troops to the northwest, and made a posture of blocking the main force of the Holy Court to prevent it from returning to aid del Rio, and continued to attract the attention of the main force of the Holy Court. In this way, Del Rio's garrison did not dare to act rashly, let alone rush to the aid of Laredo, relieving the pressure on the palace Da Zhenren's side to attack Laredo.

In all fairness, Qi Xuansu and Huang Fuji's strategy is not very clever, and the key to this lies in the grasp of people's hearts.

People in the ministry of the Gospel are not necessarily stupid, if in normal times, they can easily see through it, as long as they calm down, they can detect that something is wrong. The problem now is that we can't calm down at all, the situation on the battlefield changes three times a day, the pressure is full, the nerves are tense, and they will collapse at any time, and we have fallen into a state of hot head.

Once you get into this state, you will do all kinds of strange things.

When a person makes a decision by tossing a coin, not because it gives the right choice, but because the moment it is tossed into the air, he knows the choice he wants more.

This is not an isolated case.

Before Feng Linzhou decided to start a war against Daomen, there was a military chess deduction, and at the beginning, no matter how the deduction was made, it was a loss, because the gap between the strength of the two sides was too big, and it was no longer a strategy to make up for it, so Tianmen began to continuously strengthen the value of Fenglinzhou, and at the same time weaken the value of Daomen, and finally completed the victory of Fenglinzhou in the military chess deduction.

As a result, when the real fight started, no one could increase the value of Fenglinzhou, and no one weakened the value of the Daomen, and under the huge gap in strength, Tianmen was collapsed by Qingwei Zhenren's February offensive.

This kind of thing is absurd and funny, but it really happened.

To put it bluntly, Fenglinzhou had already made up its mind at that time

Determined, they only believe in what they want to believe.

Milton, under pressure, was also caught in this predicament.

He can no longer look at this information calmly and objectively, it has nothing to do with arrogance or not, in his opinion, this is already his hope. Whoever doubts is to cut off his hope.

When Milton happily reported this information to Robert, Robert asked, "If Tawantine were going to attack del Rio, it would mean that our main force would be locked between del Rio and Moncloix, would they have that much appetite?" Even if there is

Can they digest it?"

"If my main force returns to Del Rio, won't the main force of Tawantine attacking Del Rio be attacked from the back? Although there is a high probability that Tawantine will arrange a partial division to block halfway to prevent our main force from returning to help, it is too risky to pin the safety of the main force on the success of a partial division's blockade, right? This is like the way the emperor uses troops, not like the way of the palace fu."

Compared with Del Rio, Robert is more worried about Laredo, after all, this is the key defensive direction of Tawantin, and the troops are sufficient, Robert doubts that Tawantin will make a fuss about Laredo.

I have to say that Robert Abraham, the "Bishop of War", is worthy of being a famous general who has made great contributions to the Holy See, and he hit the nail on the head and saw the problem directly.

At this time, Milton was already on the edge of the cliff and had to make a desperate bet, not only did he not think that there was a problem with the intelligence, but he thought that Robert was deliberately embarrassing himself. The two had a big quarrel and broke up.

At the military meeting that followed, Robert raised his concerns, but most of the generals present believed that Tawantine would not dare to attack Laredo.

Because the enormous logistical pressure aside, the Holy See's absolute superiority on the frontal battlefield is precisely because it does not consider the question of winning or losing the war, but only the cost of the war.

If Tawantine dared to attack Laredo, it would lead to the emptiness of Monterrey, and once Moncloix fell, then Monterrey would also be lost.

In this way, the three points of del Rio, Moncloix, and Monterrey in turn surrounded Laredo, and the destruction of Tawantine's army was just around the corner.

It's a risky move.

In addition, Milton has been deeply involved in the local area for many years and has a wide network of contacts, while Robert has a shallow foundation.

Eventually, at the military conference, Milton's pro-Milton supporters gained the upper hand.

Robert was only the deputy commander-in-chief, not the commander-in-chief, and he couldn't just go his own way in the face of this situation.
