Chapter 321 Excommunication
Leaving Antonio, Moritz asked Winters for no reason: " Do you know [Solomon's verdict]?"

"The mystery case that split the child in half?" Although Winters didn't understand what the lieutenant colonel was trying to say, he still answered seriously: "I seem to have seen a mural."

"The mother who doesn't love the child agrees to split the child in half, and the mother who loves the child would rather give the child to someone else." Moritz showed the attitude of an elder in front of Winters for the first time. He said with emotion: "But you should know how sad the latter will be when he lets go."

In the end, Antonio Seretti did not force Winters to return to Vine with him as a father. tower.

In contrast, he didn't ask for anything.

As if fully understanding Winters' inner struggle, Antonio chose not to confront Winters with a "choose one" choice.

He simply told Winters that Veneta "could" interfere in the Palatine Civil War.

Because of the arrival of their adoptive father, Winters finally got rid of the invisible news blockade in Iron Peak County and was able to understand the big news of the alliance:
In the past year, the confrontation between Veneta and the United Province in the archipelago has gradually cooled down , because both sides are building forts, building fortresses, and building large-scale projects.

Nowadays, whether it is the United Provinces or Veneta, if you want to completely expel the opponent from the archipelago, you must gnaw hard bone by bone.

This phenomenon is almost a re-enactment of the later period of the Sovereign War. The old marshal once specially created a military term to describe it - [fortification].

The result of Tanilla's rapid "fortification" is that the cost of obtaining a military breakthrough in the archipelago has soared, even to the point where neither side can afford it.

Since it is difficult to make a difference in the archipelago, opening up new battlefields to put pressure on the provinces has become the mainstream idea within the Veneta governor's government.

The river will eventually enter the sea, and Veneta is wrestling with the provinces, and the grip is nothing but everywhere:
The archipelago and the inland sea - this is the focus of the current contention between the two sides;

The trade in the open sea Routes and colonies - cracking down on overseas trade in the provinces seems to be a good way to exert pressure. But the effect is too slow, and the interests of both parties overseas are largely if one prospers, all prospers, if one suffers, all suffers.

There is another more dangerous place where the two sides are "head to head" - the running river.

The Laundry River is the boundary river between the two countries. The fourth [Emerald Cui] Legion of Veneta is currently facing the second [Laundry River] Legion across the river.

Adding troops to Liuhe River can directly put pressure on the mainland of the United Province, but once the gun goes off, it means that Veneta and the United Province will be completely torn apart and go to war.

And this...and this is the last thing inside the Directorate-General to see.

"What the hell is the Archon doing?" Winters couldn't help complaining: "I didn't want to fight, so I rolled up my sleeves. When I really wanted to roll up my sleeves, I hesitated. This...this Isn't that the same as having a candlelight ball in the gunpowder storehouse?"

Antonio looked out the window: "Some people prepare weapons to use them, and some people prepare weapons to not use them."

"What do you think?" Winters asked cautiously: "Will Veneta and the province still have to fight in the end?"

"We are weapons." Antonio lightly said: "Weapons Try not to think about it."

Winters wanted to retort, but made a mysterious "oh".

"But if it can be resolved peacefully, it's better not to fight." Antonio sighed: "There are also voices calling for cooling and peace within the alliance. In a few months, it will be Vine's turn to hold [United Nations General Assembly], when the time comes, the Archon De Bella and the Secretary of State of the United Provinces will be present..."

The United Nations General Assembly, short for the Alliance Congress, is held every four years and is rotated by the participating countries. hold.

Antonio's pupils gleamed: "If everyone has a chance to sit down and talk, maybe everything can be resolved peacefully - that would be great."

All in all, the only grasper that is suitable for Veneta to exert his strength without directly conflicting with the province is the Palatine Civil War.

And Veneta had a good reason to interfere in the Palatine Civil War: default on debt.

Even debt defaults are appearances, and the core problem is: Veneta's ruling parliament never wants to see the emergence of a pro-provincial Palato government.

“So how far is Veneta prepared to interfere?” Winters asked.

"It depends," Antonio replied.

"It depends? It's too ambiguous."

"It's just 'it depends'." Antonio told Winters without hesitation: "Actually five people The regiment is still waiting for the UN General Assembly next year. Debella wants to talk first and then make a decision. In my opinion, the same is true in the UN province, and even the gunpowder flavor of Tanilla has been diluted a lot.”

"Then do you think the General Assembly... can talk about any results?"

"I don't know." Antonio replied simply, he hooked the head: "Forget it, don't need it first. Talk about that. Let's talk about you."

Winters tensed.

"If Veneta interferes in the Palatine Civil War." Antonio gave Winters an analysis of the benefits: "Then the Third Republic will be Veneta's ally. You can hand Iron Peak to Let the military government of Palatine take over. It's not about giving up people who trust you - you can negotiate with the Third Republic to get the best possible terms for Iron Peak."

Winters probably knew that his adoptive father wanted say what.

"In Palato, sooner or later, the Veneta identity will become your shackles, while in Veneta it is the opposite." Antonio explained patiently: "It will be 'letting go'. ' the best opportunity."

The sparkling sea, the bustling pier, the childhood room, the smell of the kitchen, the cat scratching at the door in the middle of the night... these have all appeared in Winters' in a dream.

Didn't he miss them?
Of course he misses them!

The longer I live in the country of galloping horses, the stronger my memory of the jewel of the sea, the sea blue.

Winters shook the head: "Please let me think about it again."

"This matter is unhurried for a while, there is a lot of time to think about it." Antonio put his hand on Winters's On the shoulder: "Listen, child..."

Antonio looked into Winters' eyes and said word by word: "Home is where you can go back to whenever you want."

Winters bows his head.

"Don't think about anything, don't worry about anything." Antonio repeated: "You can go home anytime."

"Anytime You can all go home." Somehow, Winters' mental defenses were almost shattered by this simple remark.

Silence, long silence.

"Don't cry." Antonio let go of his hand, jokingly said: "A man can't just shed tears."

Winters tried his best to change the subject: "Don't talk about me. It's up... You come to Palato, I feel incredible now. What about the third Legion?"

"Don't worry, even without me, [Da Vineta] can't have any trouble. ."

"I still... can't accept..." Winters' language skills became a little awkward: "In my impression, you should stick to your post forever..."

p>

"It wasn't supposed to be me, but besides me, who else can bring you back?" Antonio seemed to persuade himself: "A good man is in the Quartet, and a good man is in the Quartet. ”

If it was Winters two years ago, it would not feel anything.

But at this moment, Winters keenly caught a trace of strangeness, and there was always a link in the logical chain that could not be sorted out: why did the adoptive father come to Tiefeng County.

In Winters' memory and cognition, the adoptive father has never abandoned the company for personal reasons.

Just to find yourself and throw the Great Veneta Legion in Tanilla?
Winters thinks this is both reasonable and unreasonable.

Unless—unless the adoptive father has other missions. That is to say, this is not a simple "trip to find a child", nor is it a personal abolition of the public.

If so, it all makes sense!

"You come to Palatu..." Winters was in a complicated mood, and asked tentatively, "Well, is there something else?"

"There is one more thing to say. A little thing." Antonio replied casually.

"What?" Winters was more complicated.

“Military horses.”

“Huh?”

“The third Legion needs military horses, a lot of them.”

“Military horses? Winters asked suspiciously: "Do you still need to come in person for this kind of trivial matter?"

"After the Civil War in Palatu started, Veneta's access to military horses was completely cut off." Antonio was not prepared Talking more about this, he asked Winters directly: "How many warhorses do you have now?"

Winters originally wanted to explain that most of the horses in Iron Peak County were captured Heard horses, and Palatine horses are different in the general sense.

And the military horses can't go all the way from the high-altitude Palatu to the low-altitude Veneta, and the transfer process is very troublesome.

But Antonio certainly knows better than Winters about these issues.

So Winters sighed, gritted his teeth and asked: "Then how much do you need?"

Antoniofaint smile: "Three thousand."

Three thousand It is not a draught horse or a horse that pulls a cart, but a military horse that can be ridden for battle.

To add up all the warhorses of the Veneta Army, including the private warhorses of officers at all levels, I am afraid there are only so many.

At the end of the day, Veneta and Plato have very different natural endowments. Plato can easily arm fifty cavalry platoons, while Veneta has only two cavalry battalions, one for each of the third and fourth Legion.

Winters wanted to yelled "Three thousand? Where can I get you three thousand warhorses? Three thousand? I'll go back to Veneta with you! Three thousand? You want that many? What's the war horse doing? Can the island of Tanilla be deployed?"

In the end, Winters suppressed his emotions.

He blushed, took courage, and asked, "Then...how much can you pay?"

...

The end of the war order Traffic within and outside of Tiefeng County gradually returned to normal, and many people who were unable to meet due to the war were finally able to meet.

Such as Winters and Antonio.

And, Father Kaman and Father Saul of mysterious.

After Winters set out to clean up the Lower Tiefeng County, the Pangtuo River Discipleship Field was reopened, and a squad militia escorted Father Saul to the town of Sank.

Father Kaman took the initiative to apply to Bard: he would identify Father Saul.

The meeting took place in the chapel of the sect protecting church. There was no one in the chapel except Carman and Saul. Carman didn't even allow anyone to enter the next room.

But even if someone was lying on the door eavesdropping, they couldn't hear anything.

Because Kaman and Saul were using sign language.

Light slanted in from the small window, and under the watchful eyes of Holy Mother, Kaman and Saul communicated silently.

With just a few simple actions, Kaman has verified Saul's identity.

"I've heard of you, Brother Luo." Kaman's attitude was respectful, a far cry from his impatience with Winters.

"When I entered wasteland, it was still a heap of Heards." Saul stared at the icon: "Please contact the brother of the [Renovation Order] for me."

"There is something I have to tell you." Kaman's expression was strange, he cleared his throat and started to speak, because the next content could not be expressed in sign language: "[Renovation Order], no longer exists It's gone."

Kaman thought Saul would be shocked, cry, and even break down.

But the old man who has been a slave for several decades doesn't seem to have any feeling. His voice is hoarse, even a bit tongue-tied, but very calm: "Excuse me, what's wrong?"

Kaman licked Licking his lips, subconsciously holding the holy emblem with his left hand, he spoke as slowly as possible: "Thirty years ago, Pope Pius V ruled that the Reformed Order was a heretic order."

" The Reformation Order has been banned." Kaman didn't even dare to look at the old man: "All the dead and living cultivators of the Reformation Order ... are all excommunicated."
