I really can't control myself

After an afternoon of discussion, the proposal for war was finally passed. The civil servants are still opposed, but the cabinet in this world does not have the same rights as the cabinet in the late Ming Dynasty. At most, it is just to make suggestions. The person who makes the decision is still the lord Garsain, and the other who reluctantly agrees One reason is Linton's side.

Yes, Linton also said that if he really couldn't win the gold mine and was dragged into a protracted war, he would find a way to find money and food. This is still somewhat credible, because Linton had to build in Torgart City before, and then he had no money. In the end, didn't Linton get investment from the Church of Light to complete it. They don't know what the relationship between Linton and the church is, but since the church will give him money, it means that the relationship is not shallow, and the church will not be short of money. Since Linton dares to say this, he should naturally have the approval of some churches. Or support.

In short, after the proposal is passed, there will be war considerations. The currently agreed-upon plan is to quickly win over the gold mine. If there is the support of the gold mine, then the financial problem of the territory is really not a problem. But the problem is that the Kingdom of Kowikra will never give up the gold mine. If there is no As for the gold mine, their entire country may be destroyed. It will be very difficult to win the gold mine. Even if they win it, they will still have to face a strong counterattack from the Kingdom of Kowikra.

After discussion with the civil servants, they only gave half a month to win the gold mine. If they didn't win it in half a month, there would be financial problems in the territory, and then Linton would need to fulfill his promise. As for how to mine and defend after we take it, we can't discuss it yet, because no one expected this war in advance. Who knows why Gasain suddenly got crazy and wanted to fight? You can wait until next autumn to harvest Can't we prepare for war after regaining our strength?

Linton himself was unable to participate in this war. He was able to take action against the troops left behind by Ren before because the other party was a rebel and was part of the country's internal purge of rebels. This did not matter. However, in this war, the Kingdom of Kowikra is still a kingdom no matter how small it is. There may not even be a saint in the country, but if Linton participates, the nature of the war will change, and the saint association will not sit idly by.

Of course, Linton really didn't want to participate, and it had nothing to do with the Holy Association. It is too easy to win this war. Let’s not talk about the Holy Association, which he doesn’t care about at all. Even if he doesn’t want to mess with them, Linton just throws a Godzilla in the Kingdom of Kowikla. Look at them. What else can be done. However, Linton’s purpose is not to win, but to complete the task of battlefield construction, so this time Linton also said that he would not participate in the war. Of course, others had no doubts. Indeed, they did not count Linton in the first place. Go in.

The civilian officials are worried that Linton's participation in the war will lead to the escalation of the war in various senses. The generals do not want him to participate in the war. In the previous war against the rebels, Linton has already robbed them of all their military exploits. Brother, you will do it this time. Just stay well, okay?

In short, after some discussions, the preliminary plan was basically determined. Led by Gasserne, he personally led 3,000 troops to attack. It can be said that the entire army was mobilized. As for the interior of the territory, although there are still some small groups of rebels, but Linton is here, even if there is not a single soldier, who dares to cause trouble?

The plan to send troops is finalized, and then the next step is to declare war. There is another condition for launching a war, which is that the teacher has a good reputation, and this world is also very particular about this. At least you must have a legitimate reason. The relationship between the Kingdom of Kowikra and its territory is not very good. There are quite a few excuses for war between the two sides. The question now is which one to choose.

The biggest target this time is the opponent's gold mine, but they only have fifteen days to capture the gold mine. The time is relatively tight. All Gaseon can think of is to wait for the opponent to catch it by surprise before they can catch it first. Then when you declare it, you can't say that ours is here to seize the gold mine, otherwise it won't let others take precautions in advance.

After discussion, a more suitable plan was proposed to claim the Atonwall area. The Etonwall area is an area where the two sides merge. The ownership of this area has always been controversial. The two sides have fought a lot for the ownership of this area, which is now temporarily controlled by the Kingdom of Kowikra.

The better part of this proposal is that it is on the eastern side of the border between the two sides in the Etonwall area, and the gold mine they want is in the west. Therefore, after the war breaks out, it may attract the enemy to the east to defend, and they take the opportunity to seize the west. gold mine. Of course there are still problems, such as...

"What if the other party agrees..." asked a general.

This is a good question. If the other party really agrees to cede the Etonwall area, then they have no reason to continue fighting. This is indeed a troublesome matter.

"I think so." Linton stood up at this time and said, "They probably won't agree. After all, the enemy knows the situation on our side. They should also know that we are short of money, and they may think that we won't really Waging war is just to scare them."

"Hmm... That makes sense." Garsain also nodded. None of them thought that they would actually launch a war, and the enemy wouldn't think of it either. Linton's suggestion was more likely.

"That's it. If they really agree, we are thinking of individual reasons for declaring war. Anyway, we just have to fight." Linton said.

So the letter of war was immediately handed over. Garsain used the name of the lord to inform the king of the Kingdom of Kovikla that the Atonwall area has been a sacred and inseparable part of their territory since ancient times, and demanded that the other party return it immediately. If the Kingdom of Kovikla is returned within three days, If they don't hand over the Etonwall area, they will take back the area themselves, which will naturally lead to war.

Three days is also the time for the troops in the territory to assemble. The plan is to take action after three days. Their troops will pretend to attack the Atonwall area, suddenly change lanes halfway, raid the gold mines to the west, and defeat the enemy. Caught off guard.

However, it was Linton's side who was caught off guard. Two days later, they received the letter of credence from the Kingdom of Kowikra, expressing their agreement to cede the Etonwall area. Seeing this letter of credence, both Linton and Garsain were stunned for a long time.

"What's going on?" Gasein looked confused.

"How do I know that the king opposite has cerebral palsy?" Linton was also confused. He even pretended that the other party could not agree. After giving the reasons for a long time, the other party actually agreed? But this is wrong. Why would the other side agree? It is impossible to think that they will really send troops at this time. After all, they themselves did not expect it.

What Linton didn't know was that there was another force involved in this matter. In fact, just as he thought, the first thought of the king of the Kingdom of Kovikla when he saw the letter of war was that it was fake. Of course, they also knew the situation of the newly appointed Duke. How could he be qualified to send troops at this time? , it’s definitely just a threat. In fact, they also knew that the opponent's territory seemed to be gathering troops in the past few days, but the king thought that it was just a smoke bomb, a way to pretend to send troops, so it was possible to send troops. So I am ready to reject the other party and come if you want. Do you have the money to fight?

However, this incident was later known to the other party, that is, the Church of Light. Yes, the state religion of the Kingdom of Kowikra is also the Church of Light. The Church of Light has great power in the country. The high-ranking pastors in the country are equivalent to the status of national teachers. When he knew about it, he reported it to the church headquarters.

As for the headquarters, they had received a lot of information about Linton before, and now the high-level discussions were aimed at wooing Linton. Looking at this information, isn't this a good opportunity to sell favors? It's obvious that they don't believe that Linton can send troops. The finances can't support it. Linton wants the Etonwall area, so give it to him. It's not like them. The land of the church, the generosity of others, and the favor that can be given to Linton are a good thing.

So the headquarters ordered to intervene. The highest priest of the Kingdom of Kowikra who received the order did not know what was going on, but he still carried out the order. Since he had a very powerful voice, the king must consider his words carefully. Because the situation in the country is very bad, the king does not dare to mess with the church now. After all, there are too many refugees in the country now, and they can only be suppressed by the help of the church. If he falls out with the church now, the pastor only needs to say a word, and the whole country will not be able to survive. The refugees who arrived would probably rise up in rebellion and overthrow him.

After much thought, the king still agreed to the church and agreed to cede the territory, so he wrote a reply letter and expressed his apology to Gasein and others.

Of course, Linton still doesn't know that this was done by someone from the church, otherwise he really wanted to beat someone. Now they are really in trouble, and they didn't expect the other party to agree.

"What should we do now?" Garsain said. "If we want to start a war again, it's hard to make up a reason. The other party has already given in, so let's forget it."

Gaseon didn't agree with the war in the first place. He had no money. Now that he got a piece of land without fighting, he thought he might as well forget it.

"Let's do this. Write another letter and say that your illegitimate son disappeared while playing on the border between the two countries. There is evidence that he was kidnapped by people from the Kingdom of Kowikra. Give them three days to get him safe. Send it back, or take someone to find it yourself," Linton said.

"Where did I come from as an illegitimate child!" Garsain said.

"I know you don't have it. You just want to prevent the other party from giving it." Linton said.

"Hey, hey, I'm not even married, and I have an illegitimate child. Aren't you ruining my reputation?" Garsain said.

"Reputation is not important..."

"Then come on, can I tell you about your illegitimate son?" Garsain said.

"That's okay, just say it's mine," Linton said.

"Really?" Garsain asked.

"Oh, wait, I like my daughter, tell me she is an illegitimate daughter." Linton said.

"What difference does it make?" Garsain shouted, "Forget it, I'll write it now."

"You can't just turn into a daughter again."

One day later, Garsain found Linton again with a letter of credence: "Congratulations, you have a daughter."

"What?" Linton looked at Garsain in confusion.
