Chapter Twenty-Three: It's All a Bunch of Paper Tigers (Subscription Requested!! )
At 10 o'clock in the evening, there was silence inside and outside the city of Tyumen, the hustle and bustle of the day was gone, and many people fell asleep.
Katerina and Eduar, who had gone to the Central District Academy of Sciences for the evening, also returned to the Znamensky Cathedral, along with Captain Bodlinov.
"How's it going?" Mavi asked, "What did the king tell you?" ”
Katerina's expression was a little strange, and she sat down in her chair and said, "The king has ordered me to lead the 15th and 19th Cavalry Regiments tomorrow to meet the 1st and 2nd Front Armies and create favorable conditions for the Kingdom soldiers to counterattack. ”
"He's trying to weaken you."
In this regard, Ma Wei is not surprised at all, Katerina, who has the 15th and 19th cavalry regiments and several infantry regiments, has as many as 50,000 soldiers under her command, this number does not seem to be enough compared to the 600,000 troops of the kingdom, but the key is....
The 50,000 troops loyal to Katerina are all elite left by Peter the Great, and many of them have followed Peter the Great in the southern and northern wars, and their experience is not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
King Paul I also had an elite army under his command, which was almost the same as Katerina's in terms of numbers.
If the two sides fight each other with real knives and guns, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
"You promised?"
"Hmm." Katerina nodded, "If I disobey the king's orders, they will have a reason to deal with me, and I am just planning to prove my strength to the people in a battle." ”
This is a double-edged sword, if Katerina wins the battle tomorrow, she will be able to sweep away the haze that hangs over the hearts of the people of the Romanov Kingdom, and vice versa...
Her strength will be greatly diminished, and she will fall into the full set set by the king.
In short, Katerina wanted to speak with hard power and crush the conspiracy of the king and nobles head-on.
"In that case, tomorrow we will go to the front with you to face the Kingdom of Windsor."
"One more thing." Katerina muttered: "As for the question of disaster relief food, the answer I got is that the kingdom has already allocated funds to buy a large amount of food, and it will be distributed in the next two days. At the party, the nobles behaved calmly and had no opinion at all, and I even heard that many nobles also donated a lot of money to the kingdom and to the Wisdom God Cult. ”
"Sure enough, they're united...."
Hearing this news, Ma Wei's heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy, the nobles and the Wisdom God Cult, who were supposed to have a conflict of interest, were actually at peace with each other, and there was a hidden unanimity with the outside world, this situation...
It has undoubtedly added a lot of pressure to the Church of Truth.
But this is also expected by Ma Wei, you can't expect the enemy to be stupid, the knife is on the neck and cares about the momentary gains and losses, fighting each other, they are smart, you have to be smarter and more cunning than them.
"It's all paper tigers, so there's nothing to worry about."
Bodlinov, who also attended the party, said disapprovingly: "His Majesty Peter said to us when he was still alive that these nobles often seem to be united, but behind the scenes they still care about their own interests, which seem to be monolithic, but in fact they collapse at the slightest touch, and it is even more common to betray their companions for the sake of profit, as long as they are internally divided, their alliance can be disintegrated." ”
"What really made me feel dangerous was Archbishop Henry next to His Majesty Paul I, he didn't say a word at the party, but the situation was completely under his control, this kind of person is the most terrifying, you can never guess what he is thinking."
"If His Highness hadn't stopped me, I would have killed him with one shot!"
As he spoke, Bodlianov's face was full of anger, and he could see ...
He really wanted to pull out his revolver and fire a bullet at Archbishop Henry's eyebrows to deal with the threatening old man.
"Calm down, I have more important tasks for you in the future." Katerina looked at Mavi: "Archbishop Henry also gives me a feeling of extreme danger, he is by no means an ordinary old man. ”
"It's not easy to be an archbishop... This is second in command after the Pope. Ma Wei thought for a while and said: "At present, we will not have a direct conflict with Archbishop Henry, after all, the enemy's army is outside the city, if we can't repel them, everything is empty talk, what kind of calculations are there to make?" ”
"Tomorrow morning, almost six hours later, I plan to lead the cavalry regiment to surprise the enemy troops stationed outside the city, and take advantage of the gap when the Second Army has not yet been assembled, to carry out raids, destroy the railway, and sabotage their plans."
Katerina, who had figured out the situation in Tyumen, had already thought of the way to attack: "Father, just in case, I need your help, how about letting Edward go with me?" ”
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"
"No, Edward can't make a move."
Ma Wei immediately shook his head: "The Wisdom God Cult should not know about the existence of the Blood Clan, so we can use Edward as a killer weapon to hide and use it at a critical moment." ”
The Lord of the Blood Clan, who can injure the Kraken, the giant demon of the North Sea, and fight against the goddess of health, Wild, is definitely the strongest combat power of the Church of Truth at the moment, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a secret weapon.
Who would reveal their secret weapon in the first place?
Archbishop Henry asked Katerina to lead the cavalry regiment to attack, in addition to the conspiracy on the surface, he must also want to explore the strength of the Church of Truth behind the scenes, and Mavi, on his side, decided to make a plan, show some of his strength, and seduce Archbishop Henry to make a move.
"I'll go with you in 6 hours." "Only if I personally intervene can Archbishop Henry make the wrong judgment that I am the supreme fighting force of the Church of Truth," Ma Wei said. ”
Katerina raised her eyebrows: "You want to use your body as bait to catch the big fish of Archbishop Henry?" ”
"It's up to him to take the bait... If he doesn't take the bait, the result is nothing more than two things, one is that Archbishop Henry is very cautious and strategic, and he sees through my plan, and the other is that there are spies of the Cult of the Three Goddesses of Destiny within the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, after all, only the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny knows that Edward exists...."Ma Wei smiled and said: "In either case, we can quickly make adjustments and obtain vital information. ”
"Good." Katerina got up and said, "It's almost time for me to go back, and in 5 hours, I'll send someone to pick you up." ”
After saying that, Katerina left the church with Bodlinov and the valet, and when she went out...
Passing by the hurried communication.
“Boss! Boss! ”
Glancing at the crowd of refugees in the church, the source hurried upstairs to find Mavi in the study.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a big problem with the Happy Church!"
The communication grabbed the teacup on the table and poured it, and said with a pale face: "I disguised myself as a little mouse and touched the foothold of the Church of Happiness, guess what I saw?" ”
"Don't sell it, if you have something to say, say it quickly."
Looking around, the source lowered his voice and said, "I see a spirit that is about to dissipate!" It seems to be the goddess of happiness! ”
