Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Ethan did not agree to the request of the Duke of the North in the end, but in order to prevent the relationship between the two families from becoming strained, he did not explicitly refuse, but just kept finding excuses to drag it out.

But dragging it out like this would not work, and he still had to find a way to solve it thoroughly.

The only way he could think of at the moment was to add a protective inscription similar to the anti-transfer of the high-end commercial machine tools in his previous life to the [Pyroblast Cannon], so that once it was installed in a certain place, it would not be allowed to be moved, otherwise it would self-destruct.

This would prevent the North from using the [Pyroblast Cannon] for other purposes besides dealing with orcs.

Of course, this alone was definitely not enough, and the supply must be strictly controlled to prevent the North from completely releasing its combat power.

And his idea was supported by Sophia.

So [Pyroblast Central Manor] started a new round of research and development.

Although there is a strong and mature research and development team, it will definitely take time to produce results.

And because of its innovative concept, there is no reference inscription design at all, and there is no idea to refer to, so it is estimated that the research and development time will be very long.

During this period, Ethan put a lot of energy on the Rose War.

Originally, seeing that the two sides were fighting fiercely, I thought that this civil war would last for a long time, which was in the interests of Maro City.

But it turned out that after only two months of fighting, the Red Rose supported by the Holy Light Church had already shown signs of fatigue.

From the original active attacking party, it turned into a passive defensive party, and the area controlled by the White Rose was gradually eroded.

There are many reasons for this situation.

For example, the Red Rose's own combat power was weakened, and the Holy Light Church did nothing.

Although the two sides were similar in terms of paper strength, they always lost the battle for some reason after the real fight.

Ethan observed several small-scale encounters between the two sides, and the Red Rose lost more than it won.

Because they lost so much, many important strategic locations were lost.

Even the Starlight Town, which was finally snatched by a sudden attack, was only defended for less than half a month before it was returned to its original owner.

The loss of Starlight Town not only made them lose the ability to control the river, but also made them lose the channel to obtain supplies from Maro City and Ekassia City.

In addition, the Solan Mountain Pass in the north has always been tightly controlled by the White Rose.

This means that they have cut off their connection with the east, south and north.

And behind them is the Solan Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles and separate the north and the south.

Now, the Red Rose has become a turtle in a jar.

Next, even if the White Rose does nothing but guard the transportation line, it can still trap the Red Rose to death.

Ethan really wanted to vomit blood when he saw this situation.

He really couldn't understand why the Holy Light Church's layout ability was so poor, but you were the first to make a move, and you didn't make good logistical preparations, just thinking about starting the fight early to put pressure on them.

Now the Red Rose is trapped in a corner, lacking clothes and medicine, let alone horses, so that it doesn't even have the basic ability to go out to fight.

And because of repeated defeats, the morale of the Red Rose army is extremely low.

But the situation is so bad, the Holy Light Church does not want to help solve the predicament of the Red Rose, but has been urging the Red Rose to attack the various important towns occupied by the White Rose.

Just to achieve the so-called victory and increase bargaining chips for the next negotiation with the Temple.

Ethan was really speechless and helpless about this.

I had racked my brains to push the Holy Light Church to the front and gave them such attractive benefits as Shanghai tariffs, hoping that they could fight for the customs department.

Who knew they were so useless and prepared for so long in advance, but ended up in such a mess.

If they continue to mess around like this, let alone a protracted war, it is very likely that the Red Rose will be killed by them.

Ethan felt that he could no longer sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, it is time to leave.

Of course, leaving also requires strategy and reasonable reasons.

First of all, Maro City certainly cannot send troops to rescue in person, which will drag itself into the quagmire of war.

The only thing that can be done is to provide the materials needed by the Red Rose, such as medicines, cold-proof clothing, tents, food, charcoal, horses and other strategic materials.

Secondly, it is necessary to ensure that the trade routes in the Red Rose area are unobstructed, otherwise they will only have outflows but no income, and no one can hold on for long.

Perhaps some people don't know why they have to keep the trade routes unobstructed. Will the Holy Light Church not provide material assistance to the Red Rose?

Regarding this question, Ethan can clearly say that it is pure daydreaming.

The Holy Light Church is the kind of beast that eats people without spitting out bones. They will use red roses, but even if all the people of the Red Rose family die, they can't take out a grain of food to rescue.

All problems must be solved by the Red Rose family themselves.

Perhaps some people don't understand why the Red Rose family should listen to them since the Holy Light Church is unwilling to help.

This question is very realistic and stupid.

Assuming that the Red Rose family is disobedient, there is only one result, that is, the Red Rose family will change people.

At that time, all kinds of roses, such as blue roses, purple roses, and rainbow roses, will appear on the stage.

Since you don't want to be the ruler, there are many people who want to be, and they are willing to be the puppet.

It is precisely because of these reasons that if Ethan wants to achieve his strategic goals, the most important thing at present is to ensure that Red Rose can conduct normal foreign trade.

But now, the land and water routes leading to the Red Rose area are blocked by the White Rose.

It is obviously impossible to conduct normal trade.

However, this is only true for others.

For Maro City, it is not a problem.

After all, the Seine River is wide and deep enough. People who don’t know it here think they see the sea!

With such water transportation conditions, it is nothing more than sea vessels entering the river.

Of course, it is not difficult for sea vessels to enter the river. The difficulty lies in how to ensure the safety of navigation, which requires a strong water escort capability.

This is exactly what Maro City can meet.

When all conditions are met, there is only one excuse for intervention.

This excuse must not only be reasonable, but also must show that there is no interest relationship with the Red Rose. In this way, it will not be regarded as aiding the enemy by others, and thus attract fire.

Some people may not understand why it is so troublesome. Just rely on the powerful sea to crush it!

But in fact, if you don’t find such an excuse, His Majesty the Emperor will immediately send someone to ask you why you want to participate in other people’s civil wars?

How would you answer?

In fact, no matter how you answer, he will order you to stop.

If you don't stop, it will be tantamount to rebellion, and then there will be another war.

Ethan just wants Red Rose to hold on for a little longer, but he doesn't want to be dragged into the quagmire of war.

Therefore, the good or bad of this excuse is directly related to the success or failure of the matter.

However, Ethan has already had an idea.

That is to set up a civilian organization called the Blue Cross, which is responsible for humanitarian rescue.

Yes, it is to trade with Red Rose under the guise of humanitarian rescue and help them open up trade routes.

Is there a familiar smell and a familiar formula?

Yes, this is the real use of the Blue Cross.

Because it is a civilian organization and has no interest relationship, it can freely intervene in the War of Roses.

In fact, it is not just the War of Roses. As long as he has this organization, Ethan can intervene in any war he wants to intervene in in the future.

Let those who don't want to intervene fend for themselves!

Even if there is no war in normal times, it can be used to raise some charity funds from the public to improve their own meals.

For example, using the Blue Cross's transportation tools to deliver roasted whole lamb to your picnic is great.

I can't say it's great, I can only say it's perfect!

So, the next day, a non-governmental organization with a blue cross flag was officially established in Maro City...
