Partitioned Poland, Tsarist Russia region.
Polnev was sitting in the capital built by the Poles, receiving a special envoy.
Polnev looked at him, his eyes full of disdain for this special messenger.
"General, the Long Yan Army has reached Poland. I believe it won't be long before they launch an attack."
Upon hearing this, Polnev looked at his face hidden under his white robe and spread his hands.
"What's all the fuss about when Long Yan comes? This loyal dog, Hamid, can't beat me, so I can only go looking for the dog owner, Long Yan."
"I've expected this a long time ago, is there anything surprising about it?"
Polnev's tone was full of disdain for his newly promoted general.
He was very much looking forward to his first fight with Long Yan. He had been coveting this battle for a long time.
The Longyan people had blocked them in the interior of Tsarist Russia, cut off their transportation, and left them to fend for themselves in the cold north.
The conflict between Tsarist Russia and Long Yan has reached an irreconcilable point.
It is the wish of every Tsarist Russian general to defeat the elite of the Longyan Army with his own hands.
Regarding the news that the Long Yan Army had arrived in Poland, Polnev had already known the news through his own channels.
There are no airtight walls.
He already had countermeasures against the Long Yan Army.
The mysterious envoy sneered and looked at the extremely confident Polnev: "With your general's ability, you must have a countermeasure."
The mysterious messenger looked thoughtful, and Polnev looked at him playfully, as if he could see through everything about him.
This look made Polnev feel very unhappy.
"Your Excellency, if there is nothing else to do, you can leave." Polnev directly issued an eviction order.
He didn't have the slightest fondness for this special messenger.
The messenger laughed and said quietly: "General, let me guess what your plan is."
Polnev sat back in his seat and ignored him.
He was not annoyed and said to himself: "The general wants to send another army from Tsarist Russia to attack Hamid from the rear."
"You are stuck here and completely ignored Hamid's provocation. Are you just waiting for Hamid's attack?"
"As long as they dare to come, I think the general will surround the Dragon Flame Army and Hamid's army like magic..."
Just as the mysterious messenger continued to speak, a big hand grabbed his neck tightly.
Polnev's face was extremely calm, but the killing intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
What this person said was too shocking.
This is a top-secret military order issued by Polnev, and the purpose is to massacre this entire Dragon Flame Army.
He believed that this strategy of attacking from both front and back could definitely bury the Long Yan Army and the Ottoman Army in Poland.
But such a scheme cannot and should not be known to others.
And the last thing he should know is!
Catholic messenger, Hall!
"Messenger Hall, you know too much, who told you."
Hall's coat and hat had fallen off at this moment, and there was no way to cover his face.
Hall smiled faintly and paid no attention to the fact that his face was exposed: "Why do I know? Doesn't the general understand?"
Polnev's face was filled with ice and the wind was biting, and even the air in the room dropped a bit.
"You can choose to say it, or you can choose not to say it."
"But I will kill you."
Hall was not afraid at all and said very provocatively: "General, you will not kill me, otherwise you will suffer a great loss."
"You also know that our Catholic Church is the largest sect in Europe, and even many royal families have to accept the canonization of our Pope."
"If our pope doesn't recognize it, then they can't be emperor."
"And you Orthodox Christians are the same as we Catholics."
"But it's a pity that the current Orthodox Church can only remain orthodox in Tsarist Russia."
"Originally, we Catholics have nothing to say to you Orthodox Christians."
"But, this time I came to seek help with the guidance of the Pope."
Polnev did not speak, but he did not kill him either.
It was too easy to kill him. Polnev only needed to exert a slight force, and this messenger sent by the Catholic Church would completely return to the embrace of the Lord.
However, Tsarist Russia has since lost its cooperative relationship with the Catholic Church, and will even be pushed to extremes by the already discordant relationship between the two.
This is something neither party wants to see.
The position of Catholicism in Europe is very important. The Catholic Pope has great power, but it can be said that he has no power at all.
He did not directly participate in politics and control those countries, but in most European countries, he was required to receive the ceremony before the kings ascended the throne.
If he is not satisfied with the emperor of a country, then he cannot become emperor.
Such is the power of the Pope.
The Orthodox pope belongs only to Tsarist Russia.
Thinking of this, Polnev slowly let go of his hand. The matter had not yet reached a point where death would not end.
There is room for relief.
Polnev said calmly: "What do you want to do with these military reports?"
Hall put his hat back on, pressed the brim of the hat, and then said: "General, I hope you can understand, it's not that I want to know these military reports, but that someone will reveal them to me to prove their loyalty to the Lord."
"We came here to seek cooperation with you, Tsarist Russia." Hall said sincerely.
This sincerity was rewarded with disdain from Polnev: "Cooperation?"
"Catholics come to discuss cooperation with an Orthodox Christian?"
Polnev sneered: "Do you think this is reasonable?"
"Unreasonable." Hall replied directly.
He added: "But it is reasonable. I know that the contradiction between our religion and the Orthodox Church is very deep, but we all believe in the Lord. No matter who is orthodox, we should all be a family."
"We should cooperate to face the current crisis, the invasion of heretics!"
Polnev's face darkened. The pagans here refer to Protestants.
Although all three parties are branches of Christianity, Protestantism is the most in conflict with them.
"The most fundamental reason for the war that swept Europe was the war started by Prussia, a country composed of pagans."
"We should encircle and suppress them." Hall said righteously.
Polnev was a little moved. He was a staunch believer in the Orthodox Church and had no favorable impression of, or even hatred of, Protestantism.
In his opinion, those who believed in Protestantism were heretics and should be burned at the stake.
However, he also hates this group of hypocritical Catholics!
"Cooperation is fine, but what can your Catholic Church bring to our Tsarist Russia?" Polnev looked at him indifferently.
Hall said calmly: "We Catholics will form the Holy Crusade in the name of fighting against the cultists to fight against Long Yan and their allies."
"The Holy War is over, our Lord promises a port to Tsarist Russia!"
