In the morning, 9 Downing Street.

The cabinet room was full of people, each with a solemn expression.

When they received the news, they immediately rushed over, and they had a general understanding of the situation on the way.

The outbreak of the Civil War in the United States of Citi was a matter at the beginning of this year, and it has been in a stalemate stage for most of the year, and it has entered a period of attrition.

As soon as the summer ended, the Southern Slave Army launched a large-scale autumn counteroffensive.

Don't you have to harvest the crops on the plantation?

Autumn should be the offensive of the northern army!

"Your Excellency, the news is from the Church, and the Church and the Embassy in the United States of Citi have carried the news that the Southern Slave Army has launched an offensive, and that the Northern army has been defeated overnight and is now withdrawing its troops to the North."

Assistant David read the document sent by the church, which was sent by the priests of the United States of Citi with oracles, and it was very credible.

This incident even alarmed the Church, and Archbishop Fowler attended the meeting on behalf of the Church to discuss the next steps.

"According to the head of the embassy in Washington, Walter, the Southern slave army used a special kind of monster that was extremely difficult to kill, they were humanoid, but they had the heads of livestock, as if they were stitched together, they could use magic, and the guns were useless against them, and the Northern army could no longer support them."

"The President of the United States of Citi, Alonso, has sent a request for help from our country, hoping that the Kingdom of Windsor will assist the Northern army in repelling the Southern slave army."

After the document was read, there was silence in the conference room.

The situation changed so fast, everyone didn't react, why did it change overnight?

The civil war in the United States of Citi has the shadow of the Kingdom of Windsor behind it, and many secrets have been made public to him after Mavi became Prime Minister, such as Rhodes IV had a correspondence with President Alonso of the United States of Citi, and the Coalition Cabinet promised to support the Northern Army, hoping that President Alonso of the United States of Citi would not hesitate to wage war under the banner of emancipating slaves.

In recent years, the Kingdom of Windsor has sent a lot of supplies to the United States of Citi through the Royal Navy, and it is precisely because of the support of the Kingdom of Windsor that the President of the United States of Windsor, Alonso, was able to wage war and declare war on the southern slave owners without the support of the vast majority of domestic capital.

Now that it has suffered Waterloo, lost the war, and the situation is critical, of course, the United States of Citi has to ask the Kingdom of Windsor for help, but the international situation is not more than half a year ago, and the current king of the Kingdom of Windsor is Shukri I, the cabinet

It was also formed by Ma Wei.

It's changed.

The top is no longer the top of the reign of Rhodes IV, at least half of it has been replaced, and the transfer of power has been completed.

"We should help the United States of Citi!"

Foreign Secretary Monte, who entered the cabinet on behalf of the Conservative Party, stood up and said: "The southern slave army and our country's economic development plan are contradictory, and only by supporting northern capital can we open up the market of the western continent!" It makes sense that we need to help the United States of Citi! ”

Monte, a former cabinet member and a current member of the Cabinet, certainly knew about Rhodes IV's letter to Alonso, President of the United States of Citi, or rather, he had to take the lead in this matter.

"Have you considered the situation at home?" Sean Rickman replied mercilessly: "The Windsor Kingdom has just experienced a war with the Romanov Kingdom, and now it's only been a year, and it's only going to open up the Western Continent battlefield?" This is not how national power is consumed! ”

"The Home Secretary is right!" Someone chimed in: "The United States of Citi is a bottomless pit!" The Kingdom of Windsor must not fall into it! ”

"The Bonaparte Empire, the Roman Republic and even the Kingdom of Frederick to the south are all rising rapidly, and we cannot afford to be at war at this moment! Otherwise, you will lose your current hegemony! ”

"The United States of Citi is a puppet of our support, and we should take this opportunity to make a fortune in the war! Can make the United States of Citi cut the territory! Sign some agreements! Now is the good time! ”

"You want to go to war without even figuring out what monsters the Southern Slave Army is using? Aren't you afraid of flashing to your waist?! ”

At a time when everyone was talking about it and the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger, Ma Wei was still thinking about the 'monster' in the message.

He knows what a monster is.

It must be an alchemy weapon developed by the Doomsday Party, and its strength is indeed very strong, and on the night he met Muir, Mavi met it at Waterloo Station.

If it weren't for the Demon Hunter's possession of the Ancient Hallows, I'm afraid he wouldn't be the match for that group of monsters.

There is no doubt that the Doomsday Party still has some strength, and the reason why they dare to blatantly support the Southern Slave Army is most likely because the contract signed with the Old God has been torn up.

Decades ago, the Doomsday Party signed a non-aggression pact with the Old God forces, and they all developed steadily in the United States of Citi, until more than a month ago, Freya designed the Doomsday Party to take the initiative to break the contract, and the Doomsday Party, which had lost the shackles of the contract, naturally would not sit idly by, and supporting the Southern Slave Army was their attack.

The capital of the United States of Citi, such as the Commonwealth Bank of Citigroup, has the shadow of the forces of the Old Gods behind it, they support the northern army, and they should have pushed all the way to win the war, but the Doomsday Party suddenly entered the war!

The Doomsday Party is at war with the forces of the Old Gods, which Ma Wei is happy to see, and he doesn't want to get involved.

No matter who wins or loses, it's good for themselves.

"Prime Minister Nicholas, won't you give your opinion?" Archbishop Fowler asked with a smile.

"I'd like to hear what Archbishop Fowler has to say about this war."

"I represent the Church, and I can't judge anything at will, and when I came, the Pope also said that I should listen to the judgment of the cabinet."

Archbishop Fowler said with a smile: "Prime Minister Nicholas thinks it should be war, we will go to war, Prime Minister Nicholas thinks it should not be fought, we will not fight, no matter what the result is, the Pope hopes that Prime Minister Nicholas will give sufficient reasons." ”

"My opinion is simple."

The room fell silent, and everyone looked at Mavi and stared at his mouth.

"The Kingdom of Windsor should remain neutral." Ma Wei said.

"Why!" Foreign Secretary Monte stood up all at once: "The President of the United States of Citi has asked us for help!" We shouldn't watch them fail! Whether it's to use this as a threat to let them cede land or some other reason, we should assist the northern army! ”

"Why should we intervene in other countries' civil wars?" Mavi looked at Monte and said, "First of all, you only need to move your mouth to get the soldiers of the kingdom to go to the front line to die, of course, with the support of the church, the number of casualties will be minimized, but wars are always full of accidents!" ”

"I say this not because of cowardice, but because I hope that Your Excellency will think about whether it is worth it for the soldiers of the kingdom before advocating war."

"In addition, the Southern slave army used a new type of weapon, which, according to the description, seems to have appeared in London, so it seems that there must be other forces behind the war, and it is not advisable to act rashly until the situation is clarified."

"When will we go?"

"Your Excellency seems to want the Windsor Kingdom to send troops" Ma Wei narrowed his eyes: "Is there any reason for this?" ”

"Ling"

Monte gritted his teeth, he knew that Ma Wei was knowingly asking, could the new prime minister not know the reason?

It's all pretended!

Ma Wei just doesn't want to support the United States of Citi!

There are advantages to supporting the United States of Citi, and there are benefits to not supporting it, no matter how you say it, it makes sense, and the reasons given by Ma Wei are enough to convince everyone that even if everyone has their own opinions, they cannot bypass the prime minister to mobilize the army.

The Cabinet is personally selected by the Prime Minister, declares war, and is a privilege exclusive to the Prime Minister.

Except for Mavi, no one can wage war on behalf of the Kingdom of Windsor.

Neither can the king.

"Aren't you afraid that the northern army will be crushed by the southern slave army?!" Monte asked loudly.

"Don't be afraid."

"Why?!"

"Not afraid is not afraid." Ma Wei shrugged: "The northern army will definitely not only ask for assistance from the Windsor Kingdom, there will definitely be other forces to help them." ”

Will the Northern army be routed by the Southern slave army?

Are you kidding!

Behind the northern army is the power of the ancient gods!

The forces of the ancient gods and the Doomsday Party are at war, what is the church doing together?

It's so painful!

Seeing that Ma Wei's oil and salt did not enter, Monte angrily brushed his sleeves and left, and without him, the meeting was also opened.

The Royal Navy and the Embassy and the Church were ordered to continue to follow up on the situation in the United States of Citi, and Mavi ordered the Kingdom of Manitoba in the northern part of the United States of Citi to assemble troops at the border and not allow anyone to cross the border.

It seems to be to help the United States of Citi, but in fact it is blocking the way for the United States of Citi to retreat.

On the issue of dealing with the United States of Citi, Ma Wei has always advocated a hard-line policy, and he finally waited for the opportunity, how could he miss it?

After the meeting, Archbishop Fowler returned to Pope Ubri I with the arrangements of the cabinet, and when he heard that Mavi wanted to remain neutral and not interfere in the affairs of other countries, Ublé I was stunned for a moment and did not say anything.

Archbishop Fowler couldn't help it: "Pope, this is obviously an excellent opportunity for our church to expand, and Nicholas has to remain neutral!" I think he's either stupid or doesn't want to see the Goddess of Destiny church grow! ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

Ulbrey I glanced at Archbishop Fowler: "If Nicholas doesn't want to see the Goddess of Fate Church grow, why should he help us?" Anatole has coveted him for a long time! The conditions offered are even more generous than ours! ”

"He's scheming! It's coming for us! Certain! ”

"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."

Towards his old subordinates, Ubre I still had a relatively gentle attitude: "You don't know Nicholas, he is a very cautious person, it is not strange to remain neutral in this matter, is the source of the monster confirmed?" ”

"Not yet." Archbishop Fowler shook his head: "I have ordered Ernest to personally go to the United States of Citi to investigate, and the results will be available soon." ”

Ubli I sighed: "The investigation in London has also been no progress, there are too few clues, Holmes can't find the source of these monsters, either it's secret research by other churches, or"

"Could it be the Church of Truth?"

"They have only just established themselves and have been developing for a year, how can they possibly study a monster comparable to that of a transcendent? If you have this ability, why not take it out on the battlefield? ”

Although it is an enemy, Ubre I also understands that the appearance of monsters has nothing to do with the Church of Truth, one yard is one yard, if the Church of Truth can make powerful monsters, it will have launched a counterattack a long time ago!

What Ubri I was most suspicious of was actually the Cult of Wisdom.

Anatol likes to make some strange inventions, if he makes a move, it is not strange to study monsters, not to mention that the Kingdom of Windsor secretly supports the Northern Army, and it is too normal for the Bonaparte Empire, which is not dealing with the Kingdom of Windsor, to support the Southern Slave Army!

"In short, let the churches of the United States of Citi not act rashly and obey the instructions of the cabinet, the more critical the moment, the more the church must advance and retreat with the kingdom, and civil strife is the beginning of destruction!"

"Also, let the Manstein Potions Company increase the production of mercury blood, send it to the churches in the United States of Citi, and sell the potions to the Northern army."

"Huh?"

Listening to the arrangement of Ubrey I, Archbishop Fowler was very incomprehensible: "Pope, didn't you just say that you should remain neutral?" Secretly selling the blood of mercury to the northern armies of the United States of Citi, this"

"I'm afraid that the northern army will be defeated too quickly!"

Ubuli I snorted coldly: "If the Southern Slave Army is behind the Wisdom God Cult, the Goddess of Fate Church must intervene!" During the investigation, we must delay the attack of the Southern slave army as quickly as possible, so as not to regret it in the future! ”

"Do you want to talk to Brandon about this?"

"Not only to tell Brandon, but also to inform Nicholas that you can't hide it."

"I'll arrange it."

Archbishop Fowler approached Brandon and told him of the Pope's will, and was overjoyed to hear that the Church had asked the Manstein Potions Company to increase the production of mercury blood, and immediately informed Nicholas of the good news.

"The Church is going to use the blood of mercury to help the United States of Citi?"

"Yes, Nicholas, it is the will of the Pope." Archbishop Brandon smiled and said, "Aren't you happy? That's a lot of money! ”

"It's not about money at all!"

Ma Wei slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "In the civil war of the United States of Citi, what is the Kingdom of Windsor involved in?" ”

Archbishop Brandon obviously didn't expect Ma Wei to dare to question the pope, and he was dumbfounded for a while.

"The Pope. The Pope fears that it is the Cult of Wisdom that creates monsters, so he wants to use the blood of mercury to aid the northern army. ”

Ma Wei rubbed his eyebrows, calmed down and said, "It's just causing trouble. Forget it, since this is the Pope's order, I just obey it. ”

If you want to be neutral, you must be completely neutral, shouting neutrality and supporting behind your back, what kind of neutrality is this called?

But Ubre I didn't know anything about the Doomsday Party and the forces of the Old Gods, and from his point of view, he really had to consider the possibility of the Wisdom God Cult creating monsters.

Intelligence is like this, and the party that does not get the key information is very likely to make wrong judgments, which will affect the direction of the entire situation.
