PS: The starting point is in a state of excitement, a good chapter needs to be developed 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 loot wealth from the people, then they can take out part of it to supplement the coalition forces, will they solve the crisis?

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

The above are all the words Ruer thought in his heart, of course he would not say to the Pope. He is not a fool, and he also knows that if he says this, it would offend a large number of people.

Originally, he was not a cardinal with real power. If he offended other cardinals again, would he still be able to mess around?

If you can't do it well, you can't even maintain your cardinal status, so you'll lose a lot.

Although he has expressed his views to the Pope now, it is because he has no selfishness.

After all, if this problem is solved, it will be beneficial to everyone, not.

If something goes wrong, the one who is unlucky will be a big guy.

Therefore, he is not worried about being hated by others, and he will stumbling, find fault in the future, and wear small shoes.

But if he tells the truth, it will be different.

Therefore, when facing the Pope's inquiry, Ruhr had to remain silent.

When the Pope saw Ruhr silent, he did not respond to his question just now, which made him stunned.

But soon, the old pope woke up and knew why Ruhr didn't respond to him.

The Pope couldn't say anything 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 about it? What do you think about it?" Without any worries about this question, the Pope asked Ruhr what others think about it.

As a pope, although he can decide many things in one sentence.

But that refers to some harmless trivial matters.

But once something big happens, it’s not what he said alone.

It takes a discussion with the other eleven cardinals to win the support of most people before they can make a decision.

The reason is very simple. The church has such a huge group organization, and it is also very conflicting in interest.

Everyone represents their own interests and there are also a series of stakeholders behind it.

Therefore, when encountering major events, you can only use the majority’s consent to make some decisions continue to be implemented.

The minority obeys the majority, which is also a relatively enlightened approach within the church.

Of course. That's all.

After all, the church is still the representative of darkness and ignorance, and it is also the culprit for their current environment in Europe.

"I have talked to some people, and everyone disagrees with this. They believe that the coalition forces are financially in a hurry and can overcome the difficulties by plundering the wealth of the people in the territory, rather than asking for help from the church. So, others expressed their unwillingness to provide help."

Stupid! Absurd! Short-sighted! Idiot!

After Ruhr finished speaking, the old pope raised his hand and slapped the armrest of his throne hard, and cursed loudly.

"The coalition of vassal states will fail. It will also be the failure of our church. The French do not respect us very much. If the French win, will there be any benefit of our church?"

The Pope can understand this clearly.

Ruer nodded deeply. He also thought so.

The Pope took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and continued: "Not to mention that we started a war with Portugal and France this time, and we were going to deal with the French and Portuguese. It was also to help the Spaniards restore their country. Now everyone is watching us. If we win, it will be nothing, but if we count, some of the costs we need to pay are not something we can bear."

The Pope has thought of many things.

Yes, the church was already in trouble.

Earlier, a large number of priests split and formed Protestantism to fight against them because they were dissatisfied with the church's excessive exploitation and the extravagant style of the church's top leaders.

This is a very damaging thing.

This is not counting. Some countries that are unhappy with the church also support Protestantism and provide force guarantees.

Its true intentions and plans are nothing more than to make the church look ugly and at the same time to weaken the church's power.

Everyone understands this.

But after all, there were too few priests taken away after being separated, and they did not have many resources to master.

Therefore, it is relatively easy to deal with.

As long as there is plenty of time, it is not too difficult to solve these people.

But who would have thought that Portugal and France would suddenly attack?

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

Although the Protestantism had already ceased to fight with itself, and for the sake of the same interests, it temporarily united with itself again.

However, the power of both sides is no longer so powerful.

Therefore, when facing the energetic Portugal and France, I was really unable to do so.

But, this is nothing.

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

After all, the church and the Protestant side have most of the military power in Europe.

Portugal and France are just two countries, right?

However, now there is a financial crisis in the church and the military groups on the Protestant side.

If it is not solved, it will be bad.

Among the twelve Cardinals, only Ruhr and himself understand these things?

No!

The Pope doesn't think so.

Those who can achieve the twelve-man team are no fools.

Those people disagree simply because they will harm their private interests.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Pope cursed short-sightedness and stupidity before... (To be continued...)
