"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1135
The cold wind howled, and Chen Ziang was listening to a report in a barracks of the Qinghe Army on the front line of Hezhong Province.
"Your Highness, we were ordered to go to the Holy See, but we were detained in the border area."
A man with scars all over his face was wrapped in a thick cotton robe at the moment, reporting the situation of the envoy to Chen Ziang in a heavy voice.
"Didn't you guys reveal your identities?" Chen Ziang asked.
"After we were detained, we immediately revealed our identities, but we were still thrown into prison."
"Only two days later, in one night, a group of cathars took us to a valley to execute us secretly."
"Fortunately, a caravan from the Far East Chamber of Commerce learned that we were arrested and has been paying attention to our situation. They rescued me in time, and I survived. However, several adults who accompanied me on the mission were also in the melee All died."
The emissary who had escaped from the dead was full of grief and indignation about what happened to them on the border of the Holy See, making Chen Ziang clenched his fists tightly, and the fists creaked.
After learning that the rebel emperor Long Tian was secretly contacting the Holy See and the Hanhai Dynasty, Chen Ziang was also worried that the other party would send troops, so he urgently sent envoys to the two countries.
Chen Ziang's idea is very simple, that is, he hopes to avoid war with the Holy See and the Hanhai Dynasty.
The most important reason is that the foundation of their Qinghe army is too shallow, and they have occupied a large area of ??the Far East in just a few years.
However, except for a few provinces under the jurisdiction of the southeast government that was the first to control, the rest of the provinces were newly established.
Moreover, the perennial wars have caused these newly occupied areas to be empty and the people's livelihood is in decline.
If the Qinghe army hadn't relied on the southern region to transfuse blood into the newly occupied areas, the newly occupied provinces would not know when they would be able to recover.
Although the Qinghe Army seems to have occupied a large area now, its actual strength has not increased much.
If the Holy See and the Hanhai Dynasty attacked at the same time, relying solely on the strength of their Qinghe Army would probably be too much.
But once they cultivate their lives and recuperate for a few years, as long as the New Deal is thoroughly implemented, they will quickly become stronger.
At that time, even if Han Hai and the Holy See don't come to attack, they will find trouble with them.
After all, back then when they supported the Long family to overthrow the previous dynasty, they also cut off a lot of land in the Far East. These lands belonged to the Far East, and Chen Ziang naturally wanted to take them back.
But now the Qinghe Army has not even unified the Far East. If external forces intervene at this time, it will definitely not be good news for them.
Therefore, Chen Ziang sent someone to delay the time as much as possible, and it is okay to pay some price for this.
However, what Lin Chen Ziang never expected was that the envoys who were envoys to the Holy See were almost killed.
The two countries are at war and have not killed their envoys. Now that they have not started a war with the Holy See, the other party will kill their envoys. How can Chen Ziang not be angry.
"You worked hard this time, go back and take a good rest for a month."
After listening to the envoy's narration, Chen Zi'ang also knew that it was not easy for him to escape from death, so he calmed him down and let him go down to rest.
"Your Highness, I have not fulfilled my mission, and I am ashamed of Your Highness." The envoy said with a face full of shame.
"I can't blame you for this matter. Go back and have a good rest. Next, I will handle this matter myself." Chen Ziang said.
"Your Highness, that humble post is resigning."
The envoy was quickly taken down, but Chen Ziang's face was still sinking.
"What does the chamber of commerce say?"
After the envoy went down, Chen Ziang asked Du Jian, the dean of the intelligence investigation institute who was sitting beside him.
Du Jian sat up straight and replied: "Miss Shen's people also investigated, and it was not their leader who attacked our envoy, but a red-clothed general of their cathars."
"Now this general in red has led more than 200,000 church guards to press down on the border in the river. He is the main combat faction on the side of the Holy See, so he intercepted and killed the envoy. He wanted to start the war and gain credit for himself. .¡±
"If you dare to attack our mission, write down this revenge to me, and let him pay with blood!" Chen Ziang said coldly.
"No!"
 "What's their leader's attitude towards us?" Chen Ziang asked again.
"They are arrogant from top to bottom, and they are deeply hostile to us. Even the moderate bishop is very dissatisfied with us, but they have some objections to sending troops."
"It seems that they are determined to start a war with us."
Chen Ziang snorted coldly: "Although our Qinghe army has a shallow foundation, if they really dare to cross the border and attack, I must let them know that I, the Far East, are definitely not easy to bully!"
"I ordered Zhou Ba and Li Changqing of the Yunzhong Province to hurry up and repair the cities and keep an eye on the Holy See. Once they invade across the border, they must stick to it for a month and wait for reinforcements."
After Chen Ziang learned that the Holy See was very hostile to them, he also abandoned the illusion of peace and decided to actively prepare for war.
"Your Intelligence Investigation Institute and the Far East Chamber of Commerce should also cooperate closely, and focus the current work on the north as much as possible." Chen Zi'ang immediately said to Du Jian.
"Your Highness, now we have formed a separate Northern Division of the Intelligence Investigation Institute. Liu Shuo is in charge. He is solely responsible for the intelligence collection of the Prairie Wolf Riders in the north, the Holy See, the rebels in the east, and the Hanhai Dynasty." Du Jian said. report said.
"It's good that you can take the initiative to attack. Know yourself and the enemy and win every battle. You must find out the situation of your opponent."
Chen Ziang didn't expect that the Intelligence Research Institute had already started these tasks, and he was also very satisfied with Du Jian's work.
After Du Jian took over the work of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, he also set up various provincial intelligence stations under the framework of the original departments.
Moreover, the Intelligence Investigation Institute changed from its high-profile style in the past, but completely sank into the dark.
Because these intelligence stations have been in the dark, actively providing intelligence, infiltration and assassination for various units of the Qinghe Army and the Rebel Army. Although the credit is not small, they are not known because of their low profile.
It's just that their work focuses on the Far East provinces and the southern region, so they have less involvement in the northern region and overseas.
However, with the vigorous development of the Far East Chamber of Commerce in charge of Shen Xiuxiu, and the collection of more and more intelligence work, it has formed its own system.
The so-called peers are enemies, and Du Jian's intelligence investigation institute naturally felt the threat and challenge, so they are also actively deploying to the north, because this is their weak link.
For this reason, they set up the Northern Division separately, and the overall command is responsible for intelligence collection in the northern region and overseas. The vice president Liu Shuo is also the director of the Northern Division. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
