Chapter 98
"The merchants and nobles fight?" Cliton asked in wonder, "Didn't they have divided the sphere of influence, they are splitting up their families. Why will they fight?"
The intelligence officer in charge of the interrogation was obviously very familiar with the cause and consequence of the matter, and immediately replied: "According to the merchants' statement, the nobles' army was an attack on the caravans as robbers. They asked the nobles' faction for people, but not only refused to hand over the murderer, but instead turned the blame on the raid, saying that they were harassed the border during this period. They were so angry that they took action."
"What about the aristocratic faction?" Clito asked again.
"The aristocratic faction is that the merchant faction deliberately provoked first, framed the blame later, and finally took the lead in taking action. It's really outrageous!"
Clito nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What is our position on this matter?"
"Mr. Easter told me that our Northwest Republic has no position. If we have to find a position, it is to call for peace and dissuade the fight."
Clito smiled: "This position is good, I like it!"
He is not the kind of war dealer who firmly believes that "a cannon fire, gold will be ten thousand taels", nor is he the kind of war maniac who clamors that "only iron and blood can solve problems". Although his personality is actually quite combative, he is a person who tends to be peaceful in his broad political stance.
It is naturally the best for everyone to stay safe and secure. If someone fights, what he wants to do most is to persuade fights, rather than taking the opportunity to gain some benefits.
In his opinion, the Northwest Republic is very rich and does not necessarily lack population. Overall, the situation is very good, and there is really nothing that needs to be grabbed.
No! Even if you lack anything, you can't grab it!
The golden coin federal merchants fought with the nobles, and that was their civil war. As a neutral faction, the Northwest Republic should of course try to persuade them to stop the war and restore peace.
That's what Clito thought anyway.
After laughing, he frowned again, thought for a while, and asked, "Did Superintendent East analyze who did this?"
"Super Easter said he believed there were two possibilities. One possibility was that the soldiers on both sides were not honest and attacked each other's civilians. This kind of thing was not uncommon, and it happened frequently in past history. It was common to happen between two hostile forces."
Clito nodded and asked, "What about another possibility?"
"Another possibility is that someone is striking behind the scenes, pretending to be both sides, attacking the other side's sentries and civilians, and provoking wars. This kind of thing is also very common and is a relatively common but very useful strategy."
Clito was stunned, thought for a long time, frowned.
"How could this happen? The merchants and the nobles are fighting...who would want them to fight? Who would be beneficial to them when they fight?" he murmured to himself, falling into deep thought.
Until the intelligence officer left, he was still thinking hard, thinking about what was going on.
He was very convinced of Easter's vision. Since Easter believed that someone might be making trouble behind the scenes, this possibility must exist, and it is not small.
He even felt that perhaps East had a conclusion in his mind, and that the reason why he asked the intelligence officer to tell him both possibilities was that he just wanted to take this opportunity to take the exam and see his own vision.
So he could clearly ask Sui Xiong, but he didn't speak. He just buried his head in thinking about it and thought about it.
"Which possibility do you think is more important?" A flash of light and shadow in the Kingdom of God, Sui Xiong's clone came to East and asked, "What do you think is the fierce conflict between the two forces within the Gold Coin Federation?"
"Do you still need to ask? Someone is provoking." Easter put down his pen and said with a smile, "The merchants and the nobles are seeking stability and want to develop steadily. The merchants are training new troops and need to gain time to make the new troops form. The nobles need to stabilize agricultural production and appease the lords who had changed their territory before. Now they have no time and energy to fight? But outside the gold coin federation, there must be people who do not want to see them live in peace and stability in the local area, so they can't wait to provoke him and start the war, and hope that the more intense they fight, the better."
"Then what force do you think it will be?" Sui Xiong asked.
"The greatest possibility is of course the Thunder Principality, and the Eagle King is also possible," East said. "After all, it is meaningful to benefit from the civil war of the Gold Coin Federation."
He thought for a while and said, "In fact, it is possible for the Dhaka Federation to be both purely commercial countries, and the competition is fierce. If the Gold Coin Federation fights a civil war, they can take the opportunity to occupy a lot of markets. From this perspective, perhaps the possibility of them provoking a civil war between the Gold Coin Federation is even greater."
"Is there no other force?" Sui Xiong asked.
Easter thought carefully for a long time, then shook his head: "At least I can't think of it. Other forces may also benefit from it, but this benefit is obviously not enough to make up for it. For example, the Church of the Noble Gods, they will definitely be able to make profits from this civil war, but how can they guarantee that the winner of the civil war is definitely the aristocratic faction? If the merchant faction wins, they will lose all their money."
"But if the nobles win, they will make a lot of money, aren't they?"
Isti head, then shook his head.
"It is unreasonable to use 100% of the capital to pursue 20% of the profits, and to risk losing all your money." He said, "Even if you make a profit, the investment in the early stage will be too great, and it will definitely damage the strength of the nobles. If you don't want to damage the strength of the nobles, you will have to damage the strength of the nobles Church - the nobles are not fools. If you want them to fight with the merchants, the nobles Church must invest a lot, at least send a large number of paladins and priests to participate in the war. Although they have been established for hundreds of years and have the foundation of the previous church of the King Power, such a fight will definitely cause great damage to the vitality..."
"What if they don't send people to the war?" Sui Xiong asked.
"What damages is the influence of the church of the noble gods. If you let others go to war, but you don't send troops to support you, how can you expect the nobles to support it?"
Sui Xiong thought about it and it seemed that this was indeed the truth.
If you want others to bet on your old capital, but you are unwilling to make a capital, who would believe such a person?
"In this way, it is indeed unlikely that the Church of the Noble Gods is causing trouble?"
"Unless there is something insider that I don't know, I can't see that the church of the noble gods will need to fight this war." Easter replied, but he did not have much confidence. "It's just... the affairs of the gods are really unfathomable, and I'm not sure if there is any reason I can't imagine."
Sui Xiong smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go investigate. There will be results soon."
After saying that, he went to Vieye to inquire.
If you want to say that among the gods, the one who is most informed, is the god of pleasure who specializes in food, drink, entertainment, and friends all over the world.
If the noble god really has any tricks or conspiracy, Viere can always get some clues.
