    ps: Qidian Tongfeng, a good chapter will be published separately!  Headache!

    ??Besides, this matter is not unsolvable in the eyes of others.

    Isn¡¯t it just some money and rumors?

    As long as they can plunder wealth from the people, wouldn't they be able to solve the crisis by using part of it to supplement the coalition forces?

    At the same time, they can also use this search to enrich their pockets.

    The above are all Ruhr¡¯s thoughts in his heart, and of course he will not say them to the Pope.  He is not a fool, and he also knows that if he says this, he will offend a large number of people.

    He is not a cardinal with real power in the first place. If he offends other cardinals again, will he be able to get away with it?

    "If you can't do it well, you won't be able to keep your position as a cardinal, and that will be a huge loss.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don¡¯t Look at him now telling the Pope his own views, it¡¯s because he has no ¡®selfishness¡¯.

    After all, if this problem is solved, it will be beneficial to everyone.

    Once something goes wrong, everyone will be unlucky.

    Therefore, he is not worried about being resented by others, which will lead to stumbling, finding faults, and wearing small shoes in the future.

    But, if he told the truth, it would be different.

    Therefore, when faced with the Pope¡¯s inquiry, Ruhr had to remain silent.

    ¡°The Pope was stunned when he saw that Ruhr was silent and did not respond to his previous question.

    But soon, the old pope came to his senses, and he knew why Ruhr didn't respond to him.

    The Pope had nothing to say about Ruhr¡¯s reaction.

    "You are right. If this problem is not solved now, it will really cause big trouble. So have you told others? What do you think of this?" Without getting entangled with this issue, the Pope asked  What do other Ruhl think about this.

    As a pope, although he can decide many things with one word.

    "But that's something innocuous.

    But once something big happens.  That's not his decision alone.

    That decision needs to be made after discussing with the other eleven cardinals and gaining the support of the majority of people.

    The reason is very simple. The church is such a huge organization, and there are serious conflicts of interests within it.

    ¡°Everyone represents their own interests, and there are also a series of stakeholders behind them.

    Therefore, when encountering major events, some decisions can only be implemented through the consent of the majority.

    The minority obeys the majority, which can be considered a relatively enlightened approach within the church.

    certainly.  That's all.

    After all, the church is still a representative of darkness and ignorance, and they are also the main culprit for the current environment in Europe.

    "I once talked with some people, and everyone disagreed with this. They believed that the coalition forces were financially strapped, and they could get by by plundering the wealth of the people in the territory, instead of asking for help from the church. So, other people think that  They all expressed unwillingness to help.¡±

    madness!  absurd!  Shortsighted!  idiot!

    After Ruhl finished speaking, the old pope raised his hand and slapped the armrest of his throne hard while cursing loudly.

    "The coalition of princely states fails. Then it will also be the failure of our church. The French do not respect us at all. If the French win, will there be any benefits for our church?"

    The Pope understands this clearly.

    Ruer nodded with deep understanding.  He thought so too.

    The Pope took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then continued: "Not to mention that our war with Portugal and France this time is not only to deal with the French and Portuguese. It is also to help the Spanish recover.  . Now everyone is looking at us. If we win, it will be nothing, but if we count, some of the prices we need to pay are not something we can bear. "

    The Pope has thought of many things.

    Yes, there was already internal discord within the church.

    In the past, a large number of clergy were dissatisfied with the church's excessive exploitation of the people and the extravagant behavior of the church's top leaders, so they split and formed the Protestant Church to fight against them.

    This is a very nerve-wracking thing.

    Not only that, some countries that were dissatisfied with the church also supported Protestantism and provided military support.

      Its real intention and plan is just to make the church look ugly and weaken the power of the church.

    Everyone understands this.

    But after all, the Protestant Church took too few priests with it after it split off, and it also didn¡¯t have many resources.

    Therefore, it is relatively easy to deal with.

    As long as you have enough time, it is not too difficult to deal with people like them.

    But who would have imagined that Portugal and France would suddenly get into trouble.

    ? Originally, the church had consumed a lot of power in its confrontation with Protestantism.

    Although the Protestant Church has ceased war with itself, and for the sake of the same interests, it has temporarily united with itself.

    However, the strength of both sides is no longer that strong.

    Therefore, facing the energetic Portugal and France, they are really unable to do what they want.

    But, this is nothing.

    In a protracted war of attrition, Portugal and France will still fail.

    After all, the Church and the Protestant Church hold most of the military power in Europe.

    Portugal and France are two countries, aren¡¯t they?

    However, now the church and the military groups on the Protestant side are in financial crisis.

    If it is not resolved, it will be bad.

    "Am I the only one among the twelve cardinals who understands this?"

    No!

    The Pope doesn¡¯t think so.

    Anyone who can make it into a group of twelve is not a fool.

    The reason why those people disagree is simply because it will harm their private interests.

    It is precisely for this reason that the Pope previously cursed short-sightedness and stupidity (To be continued)
