"Father, please don't tell anyone what I'm going to tell you next."
In the church filled with sunset, under the holy and majestic statue of the God, Qasim's face was solemn, so serious that he even held his breath.
What he is going to talk about next is a secret in the military. Once it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.
If he and Ma Wei weren't old friends, he probably wouldn't be upset if he often heard about the Truth Church from letters sent by his mother.
Looking into his clear eyes, Ma Wei nodded slowly:
"good."
"There's going to be a war."
Kasim said concisely and concisely: "Now, in addition to our several troops stationed on the West Island, the East Island where the royal capital is located has begun to prepare for full-scale war in secret."
"The various armies are gathering towards the border. This is a very large-scale military operation, comparable to the long-lasting war with the Popon Kingdom a hundred years ago."
"All military factories in the Kingdom of Windsor have issued 24-hour work orders to step up the production of guns and ammunition. Wartime supplies have been shipped to the United Kingdom of Ruiwei in the north. As soon as the war breaks out, the whole country will enter a wartime emergency. state."
"Father..."
"This is an all-out war against the Romanov Kingdom!"
"The Kingdom of Romanov?" Ma Wei pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why are you attacking them?"
"Because according to the information revealed by the Lord Knight, the murderer who assassinated the Pope yesterday was sent by the Romanov Kingdom." Kasim said: "After discussing with King Rhodes IV and the House of Representatives, the Church of the Three Destinies decided to launch a A holy war to avenge the Pope.”
"When will war be declared?"
"It should be between half a month and a month." Qasim was not sure of the specific time: "The two military factories in our Rosslare Army area are operating secretly, and a large number of weapons are shipped to Belfas every day. special."
Compared to Kasim, who was unaware of the situation, Dino's self-proclaimed 'grapevine' was obviously more reliable.
This war was definitely not initiated because the Pope was assassinated, but because the Pope decided to go to war first and then assassinated the Pope!
I am afraid that at this moment, there is also a turmoil in the royal capital, and the situation is unpredictable.
War is inevitable.
"This situation is not trivial. According to the information that the Lord Knight accidentally leaked when he was drunk yesterday, in addition to the two mainland islands, the Kingdom of Windsor will also unite the three kingdoms of Mysore, Queensland and Manitoba to fight. Divide into four lines and march from three general directions: southeast, west and west." Kasim said: "In this way, the Kingdom of Windsor will completely cut off the Romanov Kingdom's connection with the outside world and capture their royal capital as quickly as possible. , St. Petersburg.”
Ma Wei was shocked. He knew that the Kingdom of Windsor would declare war on the Romanov Kingdom in the near future, but he did not expect...
The Kingdom of Windsor actually went out in force and used all their wealth!
As for the names of these three colonies, they can be summarized in three sentences:
There is a river in the Kingdom of Mysore named Ganges.
There are many kangaroos in the Kingdom of Queensland.
The Kingdom of Manitoba is Indian land.
These four marching routes surrounded the Romanov Kingdom, like the sharpest knives, piercing their hearts.
Even if the Romanov Kingdom has a land area of 1,700,000 square kilometers, a strategic depth of 1,000 kilometers from east to west, and 4,000 kilometers from north to south, it will be difficult to withstand such a huge offensive!
The Kingdom of Windsor wants the Romanov Kingdom....
The country will be destroyed and the species will be destroyed!
Once this terrifying plan succeeds and the Kingdom of Windsor eats the entire Kingdom of Romanov, they will be invincible in the future battle of the gods!
One line of communication, global communication.
Of course, it is not easy for the Kingdom of Windsor to eat such a big piece of cake.
At least the Popon Kingdom would not agree.
The plan to march all studs is a bit too risky.
It also looks a bit 'stupid'.
"If there is no interference from other forces, then there is no problem in marching like this." Ma Wei thought: "But the Poppon Kingdom, Frederick Kingdom, Ottoman Empire, Sardinia Kingdom... in the south will just sit back and watch?"
"If they take advantage of the fact that the Kingdom of Windsor is attacking the Kingdom of Romanov and come out in full force to attack the two mainland islands and attack from behind, the Kingdom of Windsor will definitely end up losing everything."
"At that time, I am afraid that it will not be the Kingdom of Romanov that will be swallowed up, but the Kingdom of Windsor."
Kasim blinked, his eyes slightly blank.
He didn't know much about such national events, and he couldn't answer the questions raised by Ma Wei at all.
"It's time to eat!"
Mrs. Cecil's voice came from the kitchen.
"Let's go and eat first. Today is your rare day off." Ma Wei stood up and said.
"Father, priest..."
Kasim suddenly took Mawei's arm and hesitated: "I'm telling you this because I hope you can open up my mother's heart more when I'm not at home. Since my father's death, her whole body has become mentally unstable." Things were a bit wrong. Fortunately, you opened the Truth Church at that time and made her busy again, so I could go to work with peace of mind..."
"I understand." Mawei said with a smile: "As a parent, who wants their children to go to the battlefield? I talked to your mother in the morning, and she now knows that unless there is a special emergency, the Rosslare Army does not They will be sent to the front line, so you don’t have to worry.”
"That's great." Kasim smiled: "That will make me feel at ease."
.................................................................
Kaz!
The sharp kitchen knife was accurately inserted into the woodcock's body, splitting it vertically into two parts.
Mavi put the first piece of woodcock leg, which was roasted until golden brown and oily, and the skin was slightly charred, on Qasim's plate.
As the host, he has the responsibility to cut the food for the guests. This is a custom in the Kingdom of Windsor and one of the necessary skills for men.
If you are a guest at a home and the host does not cut the main course for you and put the meat on your plate with his own hands, there are only two situations:
1. You and the host are very good friends and no longer need to stick to etiquette.
2. You are an uninvited guest, and the host deliberately treats you slowly.
When enjoying the dishes of the Kingdom of Windsor, Ma Wei will follow their traditional etiquette, which is a sign of respect, but when eating the dishes of his own hometown...
He won't cut up the entrees for his guests.
The main reason is that there is no need to cut it. For example, if he stewed a pot of beef today, would he have to separate the already small pieces of beef before eating?
The dishes have been divided in advance, so there is no need to perform such complicated operations.
Mrs. Cecil roasted two pairs of woodcocks, and each had half and one left.
I have to say that Mrs. Cecil is indeed a good hand at grilling food. She controls the heat just right and coats it with honey. The crispy and slightly charred woodcock tastes soft and tender. When you tear it gently, the meat becomes tender. It will burst out with fragrant juice, and with some pepper and fine salt, the taste is first-class.
"Mrs. Cecil, I apologize for my previous rude attitude."
After finishing a woodcock leg, Laiwen put down his knife and fork and said sincerely: "You are indeed a good cook with superb skills."
"If you like, ask Qasim to bring back a few more next time." Mrs. Cecil said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!"
Yunia, who was nibbling on the duck leg, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I also want to eat roasted lamb leg!"
"No problem!" Mrs. Cecil agreed immediately. Cassim's return made her extremely happy: "The roast leg of lamb must be paired with caper sauce. I will go to the market to buy some tomorrow."
Mawei drank oyster soup and looked up at Qasim: "How many days can you stay at home this time?"
"3 days."
"How come it's only three days?" Mrs. Cecil frowned instantly: "I took a whole week off last time! You haven't been home for half a year, how can you not stay for a few more days! I'll go find the Lord Knight and give it to you I need a few more days off!”
Kasim scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Mother, it has nothing to do with the Lord Knight. This matter is decided by the army. The recent situation is special and everyone's vacation has been shortened. However, as mentioned above, wait until the limelight comes. In the past, everyone got 10 days off that was not included in menstruation."
"Oh...you won't go to the front line, right? The priest said you are in the reserve and must stay here."
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
"Of course, what the priest said is absolutely correct. The Rosslare Army is only responsible for social stability in the rear area, and there will be no danger."
"That's good, that's good."
Mrs. Cecil laughed again. Although Qasim could only stay at home for 3 days this time, he would be able to get 10 more days of leave after that, which was no loss at all.
Winter winter winter!
Winter winter winter!
While Ma Wei and others were enjoying dinner, there was a sudden knock on the church door.
"I'll go out and take a look, you continue to eat."
Putting down the spoon, Ma Wei walked into the church, looked at Fat Orange and Xiao Hei who were lying on the window sill with calm expressions. There was no need to peep through the small window, and he opened the door directly.
Since Fat Orange and Xiao Hei didn't give any warning, it meant that the person standing outside must not be a dangerous person.
"Good evening, Father."
On the stone steps outside the church, stood a beautiful young maid. She held up her skirt with both hands, revealing shiny leather shoes and white stockings. She stepped back with her left foot and tapped the ground. She bowed elegantly and saluted: "I am Rickman." The housemaid, Beth."
Before Ma Wei could speak, she took out another envelope from under her skirt, handed it to Ma Wei respectfully, and saluted again: "Master Xiaon said that this is what he promised you, and it has been delivered to Gui'an."
Just as quickly as it came, Beth, the maid, got into the Rickman family's private carriage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
From beginning to end, Ma Wei didn't even have time to say a word.
He closed the church door, tore off the wax paint on the envelope, and took out a personally signed check from Ross Bank.
1,000 gold pounds.
"You're quite trustworthy..."
Fat Orange, who was licking his wounds, curled his lips.
"After all, he is also the largest investor in a large company, so 1,000 pounds is nothing to him..."
With that said, Ma Wei found another piece of paper in the envelope, opened it and took a look...
It's an invitation letter.
[Please go to No. 210 South Street on time at 9 a.m. tomorrow]
"210 South Street?"
After seeing the words on the paper, Fat Orange wondered: "Isn't this the address of the orphanage?"
