This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 392 So I need you
With Lu Ye's superficial knowledge of religion and state governance, he knew that the integration of politics and religion had basically been proven in human history and was backward.

This backwardness is compared with the current mainstream separation of powers, federal parliament, and constitutional monarchy.

Because once religion participates in national governance, it will confer extremely huge power on the representatives of theocratic authority, even unchecked, and it is very easy for power to get out of control.

Once it gets out of control, it will inevitably lead to a confrontation between theocracy and civil rights, which is harmful to the people at the time and will also be harmful to religious beliefs in the long run.

Therefore, in my own world line, there are probably only three or four remaining political and religious countries in the world, and they are all due to their own special historical reasons.

Therefore, Lu Ye really didn't expect that Patriarch Kirill, in order to gather strength, solve the chaos of the power vacuum in Luxi, and alleviate the predicament of war, would actually put forward such a bold suggestion that was simply contrary to history!

"This... this proposal, can it be passed?"

Thinking about it, those at the top of the Holy Church, including the Pope and the Mysterious Council, should not be fools, right?
Once this proposal is passed, it is equivalent to agreeing to Kirill establishing his own kingdom of God in Luxi under the banner of the Holy Lord!

Kirill obviously understood the difficulty and sighed: "If I resign as Cardinal of the Inquisition, I may be able to gain some support."

"Your Excellency!" Sandra was shocked when she heard this.

If this matter ends here, the Illuminati will have no choice but to suffer a loss without knowing what happened and lose a chess piece in vain.

Because it is impossible for them to investigate who did it, and the most suspicious person is the Holy Church, which has always had a tradition of banning demons.

It is simply a fantasy, like a mantis trying to act like a chariot.

Lu Ye directly gave the most likely judgment: "If the First Federation can support one Johar, it can support another one. For example, the 'Second Republic Army' was just established today. They can completely send their troops north to take over Aite." Lager, there are too many ways to carry out an air strike and accidentally blow up friendly forces, or to assassinate you and frame it on Lu Sen... Your unity of politics and religion may not last even a week."

But if Kirill suddenly made a big announcement about establishing a religious group or even establishing a local religious government, wouldn't this be equivalent to rebelling under the nose of the First Federation?
It is equivalent to loudly announcing to the First Federation: We are the one who will kill Johar because we want to replace him! We want peace in the Luxi region, and the conspiracy of the First Federation will never succeed!
To challenge the First Federation with the power of a Luxi diocese?

But just a few years later, a new member of the First Federation fell behind. First, he supported Johar to establish the Republican Army in an attempt to restore the country, and then pretended to be a Luson soldier to terrorize the northern city-state...

But he couldn't help but pour cold water on it: "But even so, the countries of the Western Continent Federation may not support the church, and may even hinder it, especially the First Federation."

But this time, because of Kirill's compassionate inspiration, Lu Ye got involved, and was then trampled to death by the mainland demon king unreasonably.

Infiltrating and manipulating the political situation in the Urals was the plan of the First Federation. Later, the Lusen Empire violently broke the situation and overturned the chessboard with a six-year local war...

Lu Ye was a little confused. He didn't know how important the Tribunal was within the framework of the church, but judging from the two people's reactions, it probably involved the re-division of the power structure within the church.

It is conceivable that the rivalry between the First Federation and the Luson Empire in the Luxi region will not stop due to the seeds of hostility that have been planted since the war between the two countries.

The Patriarch nodded in agreement: "That's why I need you, Mr. Walder."

Lu Ye suspected that he heard wrongly and couldn't help but pick his ears: "Me? I can't let you carry another Western Union bomb."

"You can go alone and kill Johar under the protection of hundreds of soldiers. I think you can also protect me. You can also help me train those refugees so that they can protect themselves and their homes..." The Patriarch A glimmer of wisdom flashed in the old eyes. Lu Ye was startled. Want to hire him as a bodyguard and militia leader?

But when you think about it, it seems that security, military consultants, and military training are really the business scope of mercenaries.

"As long as the Holy See approves, I am confident that this interim government under the leadership of the Holy See will be quickly established in a short period of time. As long as we get through the initial difficulties, when the coalition government covers most of the areas in western Shandong, I will promote the separation of church and state and will Reorganize the referendum and give this new country back to its people. It will also bring the conspirators and politicians back to the table to fight for their interests with votes, legislation and hearings, rather than as they are now. , by inciting violence, and the blood of innocents.”

Looking at the patriarch with piercing eyes, Lu Ye was really silent this time.

This old guy, from the beginning of planning Johar, has shown that he dares to break the rules and even dare to challenge the world's disapproval for the welfare of the people of the diocese!

But he always behaves so pure and simple.

In his heart, he felt like this land and its people, but without the politicians' greed for wealth and power. This is probably what a great clergy believer should be like.

Lu Ye couldn't bear to refuse this sincerity.

Lu Ye took a deep breath: "Then what is your plan?"

Seeing that he did not refuse, the patriarch's gray eyebrows drooped and he smiled: "I hope you recruit soldiers among the refugees. I need you to build an armed army to protect the parish and the people. As we fight against The collection of public opinions will continue to gradually expand the area of ​​actual control. Once the Holy See approves my plan, this armed force will become a legal armed force that will belong to the 'St. Ural Provisional Government'."

St. Ural's Provisional Government—the name has already been chosen!
The map west of the Sancha River and the distribution of the Western Alliance peacekeeping troops appeared in Lu Ye's mind.
If he wanted to have a force that could protect the parish and the people, eliminate all kinds of illegal forces in the surrounding forests, and deal with the attacks of opponents supported by the Western Union, he would need at least several thousand to ten thousand people...

Speaking of this, the Patriarch looked a little embarrassed: "But... this armed force cannot belong to the diocese and the Holy See. This is the consensus signed in the Lalan Convention. The Holy See Church can never have its own military armed forces. , this will be considered the most serious challenge to the secular regime..."

Lu Ye said nonchalantly: "This is easy to handle. I can set up a private military contractor company and sign a military security service outsourcing contract with the Luxi Diocese. No matter how many people there are in this army, these people will be my employees. It’s not affiliated with the diocese, just wait until the country is established and then transfer it.”

The patriarch's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but look strange, "Mr. Walder seems to have a lot of experience in military-related activities."

Lu Ye smiled awkwardly and made an excuse casually: "Devils... are aggressive by nature, and they have to come out from time to time."

He also saw the disgust on Sandra's frown, but he had no choice but to tell them that he started out in the mercenary business!

"Then I will formally invite you to serve as a member of the preparations for the interim government and provide us with military and security assistance!"

The two shook hands again and looked at each other, feeling that there was a long road ahead.

It wasn't until Lu Ye turned around and left that he suddenly reacted:
We didn’t talk about money!

Damn old man, don’t you want to vote in vain? ?
