"Your Highness the Pope, I have some different views on this matter."
The old man sitting on the papal throne set his sights on Ruhr after hearing this.
Ruhr has always been a very low-key person, and often does not express his position and attitude, so today's incident is a bit strange.
It¡¯s different from what he usually wears.
However, the Pope believes that it is okay to let Ruhl speak his mind. After all, this bishop who has no rights cannot always keep his views silent.
"Tell me about it."
The Pope gestured.
Only then did Ruhr slowly express his views to the Pope.
"Your Highness the Pope, the current situation with the coalition forces of the vassal states is very bad. The soldiers at the grassroots level are already in panic because of the arrears of military pay. If this problem is not solved, then once Portugal and France are involved in this If we launch an attack at that time, I think the coalition of vassal states will simply not be able to resist it. Because at that time, no soldiers will be willing to sacrifice their lives."
Ruhr has a deep knowledge and understanding of the situation he is currently facing.
This point is seen more clearly than most of the twelve members of the church.
"And because of the war, the domestic economies of the vassal states that support us have completely collapsed. They are no longer able to provide themselves with materials and finances, and it is very obvious that they need strong support from us here."
Rule said while thinking.
He must tell the seriousness of the matter without making the old Pope angry.
This is really a sad thing.
Ruer sighed secretly in his heart.
The huge power of the church has actually fallen into the hands of such a person.
Is it possible that the church has now begun to decline?
Ruhr didn¡¯t know why, but suddenly such an idea came to his mind.
He himself was startled by this unreasonable thought.
Phew!
It shouldn¡¯t be like this. No matter how bad the church is, it can¡¯t be what I imagined.
I must be overthinking myself.
When this thought flashed through his mind, Ruhr immediately gave himself a comfort.
Yes, with the current strength of the church, it is indeed unlikely that the thing he is worried about will happen.
But Ruhr forgot one thing, that is, after the Age of Discovery began, people's minds began to slowly emancipate. With the advent of the Renaissance, the decline of the church was inevitable.
There will no longer be any market for their methods and propaganda to fool the public.
But how could Ruel and others in the church see the future?
Therefore, of course they are not clear about this.
However, if the problem before them is not solved, there will definitely be trouble.
After all, if the church goes downhill, as a member of the church's forces, he will definitely be implicated.
In other words, as the current vested interest, his interests will definitely suffer great losses.
This is something he does not want or want to happen.
So, based on this, he had to convince the Pope.
This is also to protect your own interests.
"Now there are rumors spreading that we will continue to collect wealth from civilians to pay for the war. This rumor is very popular and has made the soldiers demoralized and unwilling to fight, and they all want to go home. ¡±
When Ruhr said this, the Pope could not sit still.
He changed his half-asleep and careless look, and his expression became serious.
Although the Pope is old, his brain is beginning to be insufficient. But this does not mean that he is not aware of some crises that may arise behind the things Ruhl told.
On the contrary, when Ruhr said this, the Pope had already thought about how much trouble it would cause if the problem was not solved.
¡°Oddly enough, if Ruhl hadn¡¯t said anything, the pope wouldn¡¯t have worried about this issue at all. Because except for Ruhl, the other cardinals would tell him every day that the war was going very smoothly.There is nothing to worry about at all.
Therefore, the Pope also began to think this way.
However, now that Ruhl has told the actual situation, he can't help but care about it without taking it seriously.
"Is everything you said true? How come when other people told me this, it was not as you said?" The Pope looked at Ruhr seriously and asked in a very serious tone.
Ruler smiled bitterly and thought to himself: Those guys are all masters of flattery, and they report good news but not bad news. Of course they will pick the ones you like. If I tell you those unhappy things every day and make you angry, wouldn't I be making myself unhappy? (To be continued)
