    "There are never too many people who offer help in times of need, and there are never too many people who add fuel to the fire. For the Ian family at this time, whether they are the nobles of the empire or the church, there will never be many people who can stand with you. Your Excellency should still  Are you not so confident that with the current strength of the New Model Army, you can make enemies of the nobles and priests in the entire South Ridge?" Wacru shook his head, not angry, and just tried to persuade him further.  "You don't need to worry about this." Seeing that Waziru didn't take the bait, Yi Wenyan sneered somewhat bitterly.  Regarding the famous divinely-ordained Duke, Yi Wenyan is not yet so reassured that he can form an alliance with him without any doubts if he reaches out his hand.  In fact, as Wazilu said, his strength has only just revealed the tip of the iceberg. When other people who don't know what's going on are eager to escape as far as possible, only Katarina  Not only did he not avoid it, but he took the initiative to stick to it If he didn't have other plans, this guy would be a true lover of Nanling Cliff!  "Ahem" The train of thought suddenly went astray. Yiwen Ian couldn't help but cough a little under Wazilu's strange eyes, and put away the weird thoughts in his mind. Yiwen Ian held his cheek and said,  He sat up and said, "Are you an enemy of all the nobles in Nanling? I don't think the situation is that serious." "Aside from the church and the nobles in Nanling, is there anyone else who plans to make trouble with the Ian family?  ?¡± Yiwen Ian decided to pretend to be stupid for now.  Waclu's eyes changed slightly: "Actually, before I came to the Duke's Mansion, I went to Wenning District for some things, and then I found some people who were acting very strange-" "Your Excellency should not  I don¡¯t know who those people have ulterior motives, right? In Grand Duke Catalina¡¯s view, those who have ulterior motives and special thoughts about Nanling may be far more than just those who have jumped to the surface, right?¡±  He nodded noncommittally, and Wazilu's answer was quite satisfactory. If he took the initiative to tell Yiwen what enemies Ian had, he would really have to think carefully about it, because if he thinks about it from his perspective, no one wants to have a bunch of enemies.  A pig teammate who can't even tell who the enemy is, and a person who still insists on sticking his face to his butt even though he knows this premise, then his heart must be punished.  ¡°Just after testing Catalina¡¯s sincerity for a moment, Yi Wenyan hesitated a little.  Because the words "you don't have to worry about it" are really not polite words. From the beginning, he had no idea of ????confronting these people head-on, nor did he have to train the New Model Army soldiers who had worked so hard to die.  Republicans have given up trying to fight those bastards with their lives.  So Catalina's idea of ??"giving charcoal in times of need" is purely wishful thinking in sending charcoal to the fire bed - the icing on the cake, more for him but not more, less for him, it is like worthless things, which makes Yi Wenyan embarrassed.  But when he thinks about the other party¡¯s request, it¡¯s actually not that embarrassing for him. It¡¯s just like a white wolf with empty gloves. If you don¡¯t want the benefits for free, then giving up like that is a hopeless fool.  But having made up his mind, Yi Wenyan showed a completely different attitude on his face.  Yiwen Ian bounced his knees carelessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wacru, as you said, the Silver Rose family is full of enemies today, so regarding your request for alliance, I still think about it.  I can't believe you so easily. But benevolence and righteousness are not the same as business. Today's Nanling is also a land of commerce. In terms of business, if you are so eager for Nanling's technology, then please use the transaction seriously.  Instead of using such a vague 'full support', Wazilu looked a little grim, but he couldn't help but sigh at Katarina's foresight.  For the old foxes of the empire like Katarina, peace treaty oaths and other things are just things that can be bypassed by casually finding excuses and loopholes. For example, this year the Silver Rose Family broke up with the Nanling Kingdom.  Regarding the armistice agreement and the resumption of war, it is completely unclear who made the first move. It is even possible that the first person to make the move was not the people of Nanling at all, but some forces from outside Nanling with ulterior motives.  Politics is not a child's play. Every politician is burdened with the future and destiny of countless people, so they cannot help but make every most prudent choice. Only politicians are like clowns who love to show off and show off on the election stage.  acting.  Therefore, the distance between politics and ideals is the shortest, and it will always be the farthest. What measures a politician and his ideals is usually only a steelyard, with many chips placed on the scale, and these chips are interests.  Interests are the heaviest bargaining chip in politics. Until the benefits of betrayal are greater than the benefits of alliance, there is absolutely no need to worry about the possibility of being betrayed. Therefore, compared with writing in a clauseThe pale words on the Internet, the kidnapping of common interests will always be the most useful covenant in the world.  And for a little fox like Yi Wenyan, who although only 15 years old, is already mature and sophisticated enough to knock down the old foxes in the monetary academic world one after another, only the clearest interests can really impress him.  he.  After careful consideration and feeling that there was really no other way, Wazilu finally reached into his arms and took out a small box.  He opened the small box in front of Yi Wenyan, and what was revealed was an ice-blue crystal the size of a thumb.  "Is this?" Yi Wenyan frowned, "Memory crystal?" Memory crystals are somewhat like an alien version of CD disks. Depending on the level, they can burn text or drawings of varying capacities, or even videos, but because  The price is extremely expensive, so generally no one will be bored enough to burn some irrelevant AV movies.  The next words of Wazilu, who held the small box carefully, made Ivan's heart suddenly stop - "Here are a complete set of blueprints for the airship technology of the church ten years ago." "From  Ultra-lightweight armor, anti-prophecy system, super-cavitation cavity, and even the super-magic engine that the Silver Rose family most wanted, are all included in it. However, with the power of Grand Duke Catalina, they can only collect it secretly.  The old information from ten years ago should be more than enough to exchange for Nanling's artillery and golem manufacturing technology. " Yi Wenyan was really stunned this time. He squeezed his temples hard and heard something.  ?  Airship?  Hey, hey it turns out to be an airship You are actually an airship, bastard!  What is an airship?  In the previous life, the giant iron-clad ships controlled the sea for more than a century. In the era without aircraft carriers, the giant iron-clad ships were the absolute overlord of the sea and the absolute guarantee of sea control. In an era where the world is the strategic territory, having sea control is equivalent to having the right to control the sea.  Without the initiative in war, having sea control is equivalent to being invincible until sea control is replaced by air control. ??????????????? What about airships?  For an empire that has a sea border in the east and all its territory is inland, airships are equivalent to armored giant ships, aerial gunboats and strategic transport aircraft, integrating air and sea control into one super bug!  Until now, the empire has not had a weapon that can directly shoot down airships thousands of meters above the ground with one strike. In the history of the empire, the only records of airship damage in battles were during the battle with the South.  It was created by the tribesmen of Edesiel during the Twenty Years' War in the Ridge.  After being shaken violently to the extent visible to the naked eye, Ivan suppressed his emotions and once again confirmed to Vaclu: "What type of airship is it? A frigate? A destroyer? A cruiser? Or  Battleship? " When Yi Wenyan talked about the battleship, his voice was trembling. If he really gave him the design drawings of the battleship, he would have a golden opportunity to just say "ypa!" to the emperor.  I flipped the table and dodged people, built an aircraft carrier and went directly to the empire's mainland to play "waaagh!" Isn't that uncomfortable?  !  However, it turned out that things could not be as smooth as he imagined.  Wazilu shook his head: "Sorry, I think you are also very clear. Our church only has cruiser technology. The technical indicators of the battleship class are more than double that of the cruiser. Apart from the Imperial Academy of Sciences, there is no other place.  Possessing relevant manufacturing technology. " "Exactly, second-class product" Yi Wenyan took the opportunity to calm down the surprise on his face, and planned to raise the price, "It's just a so-so, but it's just a church cruiser from ten years ago, what kind of second-class product is it?  The current equipment of the Nine Air Mobile Crusaders is not as advanced as the current civilian technology. Is it still inferior to the technology of Nanling's only industrial aircraft?  "No one else would dare to risk offending both the church and the emperor by selling you the airship technology, except for Grand Duke Catalina, who is blessed by the gods and the empire."  Wazilu¡¯s answer was very confident, ¡°And currently we are only interested in the possibilities of Nanling¡¯s technology. Whether it can ultimately reflect the value we expect will only be known after we buy it back and study it.¡± ¡°¡­  Humph, I don¡¯t understand what you said. It¡¯s obvious that Duke Caterina also knows that doing this will offend the church and the emperor. So where is her confidence in still acting like this? "Ivan already?  Subconsciously, I wanted to agree, but then I changed my mind.  Wacru nodded: "To be honest, there is a request. We are nominally the envoys sent by the church, in the name of the alliance, to redeem Sister Kate Kirsner. Her existence is very necessary for the church.  ¡± &nbsp"Kate" Wacru said this, and Yiwen Ian understood that Catalina's "betrayal" was actually approved by the church, but that woman was indeed shrewd and took the entire  Everyone in the church was fooled into it and blatantly acted as double agents.  However, a double agent is a double agent after all. A double agent who has no faith and only interests is a natural fool, a double-edged sword. If you really believe Wazilu's alliance request, in a moment of crisis, you will be stabbing at both sides.  It's hard to say whether it was just stabbing in both sides.  As for Kate She doesn't even want truth-level powerhouses like Abel, Ellen, and Granciere, but she wants to release this humble saint candidate by name. The implications are worth pondering.  , and this is probably one of Catalina¡¯s intentional reminders.  "Isn't it an important value that cannot be matched by even the three truth-level priests" Yiwen Ian thought silently in his heart, "It seems that the only special thing is her identity as a former saint Anyway,  I feel like the church in this world is weird, and things like saints don¡¯t seem to be meaningless.¡± From a normal perspective, this request should be rejected, even if it requires the release of Abel.  A man who looks even more troublesome.  But thinking about it from another angle, this may also be a trick by Catalina. If he refuses to release Kate at this time, the other party will ask for the exchange of Abel, the only true subordinate of Catalina.  It's hard to refuse the conditions - after all, after the exchange of interests, they can be regarded as allies in the nominal sense.  Although there is no harmony on the surface, there is also disunity behind the scenes.  After thinking twice - Yi Wenyan raised his head, looked at Wacilu and smiled: "Since your church is looking forward to Miss Kate's return so much, then I might as well be a favor and release her." Looking at Waciru  Cilu's surprised expression made Yiwen feel very proud. Yes, he didn't know what the church was up to, but at least judging from the way they trained priests like soldiers, they  What is needed are hard-blooded soldiers and highly brainwashed enforcers.  But now Kate has been trained by him in a subtle way for more than a month. She is no longer the obedient baby she was originally. And such a former substitute saint was taken back by the church to carry out some secret plan that cannot be disclosed to outsiders.  , it¡¯s really hard to say what interesting chemical reactions will occur.  Wazilu looked at Yi Wenyan with strange eyes. He had seen people seeking death, but he had never seen people seeking death so deliberately. However, since the other party intended to do so, he probably had other considerations, and he also  It was not easy to continue persuading him, so after nodding at Yi Wenyan, he also planned to end the meeting.  However, after further discussing some details, Evan Ian seemed to suddenly remember, and suddenly asked in a casual tone: "Speaking of which, why did Catalina buy back these golem-making and artillery technologies?  "Such a dangerous technology is not something that is needed for children to play with." Wazilu stood up, slapped his hat, hesitated for a moment, turned his back to Yi Wenyan, and spoke in a low voice.  He said in a calm tone - "Who knows, it won't be used to deal with demons."
