No choice!
This sentence is like a heavy hammer, falling firmly on the hearts of young people.
them...
Is there really a choice?
Maybe not from the beginning.
Today's dinner is not a negotiation, but a surrender!
At Katerina's signal, the maids took down the red wine and opened the champagne, which symbolized celebration. The golden bubbles of wine poured into the slender champagne glass. Then, Katerina stood up with the champagne and looked across from her. The somewhat ugly young people said: "Everyone, please remember that the light will definitely shine on Romanov!"
After drinking the champagne, Katerina said softly: "Now, you can go, tell your family elders about the conversation tonight, and ask them whether they want to assist me or become enemies of the entire Romanov Kingdom. .”
The young people got up in confusion, took the information sheets and left. Tonight, their world view was greatly impacted, firstly, the benefits brought by industrialization, and secondly, the situation they faced.
What Ma Wei said is not alarmist. The reason why nobles are nobles is because they are rare in number. If all the people in the Romanov Kingdom are nobles, then the nobles will naturally lose their meaning.
As the ruling class, nobles and commoners live in two completely different worlds, and the backlog of conflicts between the two sides is not a day or two. It is like an ever-expanding balloon that will explode sooner or later.
The day of the explosion is the day of vigorous reform.
No one is immune.
Before leaving, Goffman turned back three times and wanted to say a few words to Katerina. However, due to his current status, he could only grit his teeth and follow the ranks of the nobles. He was a noble, at least for now.
"Father."
When all the outsiders in the restaurant were gone, Katerina poured another glass of champagne, sipped it, leaned on the soft seat, and whispered: "You acted very forcefully tonight, and your tone was like issuing a judgment." Just as determined, what changed your strategy?”
"It's Finn Drost."
Ma Wei picked up the tea cup and said: "The situation is different from the past few days. These military nobles already know that Citigroup Federal Bank is willing to support us unconditionally. This means that our last flaw has been made up. Military nobles are no longer necessary for us. They Naturally, it loses its negotiating position.”
"Didn't we reject Finn Drost's proposal?"
"That's right, but the military aristocrats don't know. Even if they know, they can't guarantee whether we will change our minds and accept funding from Citigroup Federal Bank." Ma Wei said in a calm voice: "I am taking advantage of the situation and using Citigroup Federal Bank." potential."
On the premise that the general direction remains unchanged, small strategies must be constantly changed according to actual conditions, which is the so-called plan that cannot keep up with changes.
Now that Finn Drost has found a military noble, Ma Wei doesn't mind using him to achieve his own goals.
Originally, in order to win over the military nobles, Katerina might have had to give up some rights and interests to fill the greedy and restless hearts of the military nobles, but since Finn Drost appeared, there was no need to give up her rights.
Because they have no choice.
"I think they know how to choose." Katerina glanced at Ma Wei with her blue eyes, and said seriously: "But in this case, the pressure will all fall on you. When you are a king and a secular aristocrat, The problem has been solved, and what remains is the church dispute. Only when the Church of Truth wins can we usher in real light."
"The next competition is doctrine." Ma Wei said noncommittally: "Whoever's doctrines and policies are more popular with the people will be able to gain more believers. Similarly, the biggest advantage of the Wisdom Cult is that they have the support of the king. , Therefore, Your Highness, you must become the true military god of the Romanov Kingdom. I need you to win every battle, regain large areas of territory, and bring hope to the people."
It is no secret that Katerina supports the Church of Truth. The stronger she is, the more benefits she will bring to the Church of Truth. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope, living and dying together.
Katerina originally chose the Church of Truth, and the Church of Truth also chose her.
From that moment on, the two sides were completely bound together.
"How is the training of believers going?"
"It will take some time. When will we start the counterattack?"
"When the snow stops, the counterattack will begin." Katerina said: "The big cold wave will last for half a month. Now the front line has advanced dozens of kilometers. In another week at most, the second counterattack will begin. Expand.”
"One week... it should be enough." Ma Wei nodded: "I will hand over the trained monks to you within a week, but many of your troops are cavalry, remember to teach them to ride horses."
"no problem."
....................................
At night, Ma Wei, Dino and Yunia had a good meal before returning to Tyumen City.
It is such a waste to have a table of carefully cooked food that no one eats. I have to say that the Bourbons are indeed much better at cooking than the cooks in the Kingdom of Windsor. This is not flattery, but a fact.
It was extremely difficult to buy vegetables in the winter of the Romanov Kingdom, so before returning, Mavit asked Duke Hawke for a few cabbages, planning to stew them with pork in a few days.
When they returned to the church, Laiwen, Fat Orange and Edward had already returned. They searched Tyumen City but could not find any trace of Finn Drost. Even the hotel had no similar check-in information. .
Finn Drost just disappeared out of thin air, and no one knew where he went.
"He must not have gone far. Tomorrow I will go to the surrounding villages to ask." Laiwen said angrily: "I don't believe he doesn't eat or sleep! As long as he is still around Tyumen City, he will definitely leave clues!"
Mawei didn't expect to find Finn Drost immediately. Since the other party followed them all the way to Tyumen City, sooner or later, his trap would be revealed, and it wouldn't be too late to tell him then.
And the most urgent thing...
After returning to the room, Ma Wei closed the door and window, walked to the desk in the corner, and activated the Siren's Tears.
The large and heavy desks turned into huge suitcases in the blink of an eye. This was a trap set up by Ma Wei. He believed that no one would suspect a desk, and even a thief would have no reason to steal a desk.
Picking out a few parchment rolls, Mavi closed the box and turned it into a table again.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Lai Wen asked curiously.
"Go to a blacksmith shop tomorrow and carve some magic rings for use by believers. Let's keep a few by the way."
After putting the parchment away, Ma Wei raised his head and patted Xia Wen's shoulder: "Let's go find Edward and see if the drawings he designed can be put into production."
