Chapter 504: Political Debate (Part 2)

Rutledge tapped his fingers on the desktop and said coldly, "I don’t think I need to repeat the relationship between Twilight West and the Papal Kingdom? All of you here, I don’t need to say more about it, more or less with Heavenly Father. The church has a hatred that cannot be resolved."

Rutledge clenched his right hand and raised a fist over his head: "And right now, it is the weakest time of the Father’s Church. Their direct army was almost completely wiped out in the battle of the Holy Acropolis. On the other hand, the Pope of the Father’s Church After his death, due to internal power struggles, a successor was not selected for a long time."

   "If you don't take advantage of this time and launch a decisive battle to uproot the church power, it will be very difficult to find such an opportunity in the future."

Rutledge turned his gaze to Emerson: "What makes me do not understand is that in the face of the low-handed victory, the cabinet has been retreating, as if it had already recognized Twilight’s defeat before the war. What is this? reason?"

   Emerson shook his head vigorously: "A victory at your fingertips? Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how many soldiers and supplies need to be mobilized to launch a battle against all the parish kingdoms?"

   "Also, although you keep aiming at the Heavenly Father Church, but you want to lead the army on the territory of the secular kingdom, do you think those secular kings will just watch you break in? Do you think they will not resist?"

"The most important thing is that the decision to send troops to the Diocese Kingdom will completely isolate the diplomatic situation of Western City, so that we will never find an ally in the entire diocese. At that time, you will face two hundred in the diocese. The total strength of the coalition forces of the remaining kingdoms is close to 190,000!"

   Listening to Emerson’s rebuttal, Rutledge shrugged indifferently, and said, "Prime Minister, let me answer your questions one by one."

"During the Battle of the Holy Guard, our army had less than 3,000 combat troops, and the enemy's total strength reached 20,000. As a result, the church army was almost destroyed, and the number of soldiers killed in the battle of Muxicheng was less than a hundred. Today, the total strength of Muxicheng has reached 15,000, and our opponents, whether in morale, command, manpower, or equipment, are far from being compared with the church army in the Battle of the Holy Guard. Even if you retreat. Wan Bu said that the enemy has a large number of troops and ours is not enough, but we still have hundreds of thousands of reserve forces. They can dedicate their lives to the great Muxi Kingdom at any time!"

   A group of students stood up excitedly and shouted in the hall: "If the kingdom needs it, we are willing to give our lives! Just to use the brilliance of truth to dispel ignorance and ignorance in the world!"

In the stands on the second floor, Huggins shook his head in disbelief: "Are these young people at school stupid to read? Where is the war so simple?! The battle of the Holy Acropolis was won because of the reason There are many factors such as heterogeneous elite soldiers, city defense superiority, enemy suspicion...Do these young people who don't know the heights of the sky think that fighting is just charging?"

   Todd makes a fist with his right hand, resting his cheek, thoughtfully.

"The war we launched against the Church of the Father is a just war! It is a war to dispel superstition and hypocrisy! It is a war to rescue those who have been deceived and enslaved by the church!" Rutledge waved his arm vigorously, full of confidence. Said: "When our army enters the parish kingdom, those nobles and people will not only not embarrass us, but will join our ranks to fight the church together!"

  The students under the stage shouted: "Yes! Our army is the savior of the world! The awakened people will join our team to fight the church together!"

   Looking at the scene in front of him, Emerson rubbed his temple vigorously while shouting loudly: "Doing this will completely ruin all the efforts of the Muxi Kingdom!"

The old man pointed at the young faces in the audience with trembling fingers, and said with sorrow: "From the very beginning of the invention of the printing press, then the doctrine of "justification by faith" was proposed, and then to criticizing tithes, indulgences, and kingship. God’s ceremony, and finally the establishment of the Protestant religion. You young people, how can you understand how many difficulties we have overcome and how much effort we have put in to fight the Father’s Church in order to get to where we are today!"

"Like a person who is dyingly ill, if he is given a strong dose of medicine, the patient will die out. Only through slow recuperation and long-term medication can he recover his health!" Emerson thumped his fist. The table, roared: "Why don't you understand this truth?!"

Rutledge got up from the chair, ignored the host’s obstruction, walked in front of Emerson step by step, looked directly into the other’s eyes, and asked loudly: "Prime Minister, I want to ask, according to you According to the method, how many parish kingdoms have now turned to Protestantism?"

   "Twenty-six, and this rate is still increasing!"

Rutledge smiled and continued: "Since a few years ago, the cabinet has been attacking the Heavenly Father Church. After so long, only twenty-six kingdoms have left the church. Then I want to ask, all dioceses How long does it take for the Kingdom to abandon the Church of Heavenly Father? Ten years? Twenty years?"

   Rutledge turned his face to the audience and said with a smile: "If it takes longer, I suspect that some of you here won't see the day when the church will fall."

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Rutledge regained his sight on Emerson: "Also, Prime Minister, have you ever thought about why there are twenty-six kingdoms who leave the church and take refuge in us? The fundamental reason is that The war in the Holy Acropolis! Those kingdoms saw the strength of Muxicheng and were completely disappointed with the weak church army, and they thought of taking refuge in us!"

"In the final analysis, war is nothing more than a means of political continuation. It can be used to accelerate the speed of changes and maximize the interests of the victor." Rutledge looked at the angry Emerson, calmly Said: "As for my Prime Minister, you are old and your theory is out of date."

   Without waiting for Emerson to speak, Rutledge slowly walked off the stage of the debate as a winner.

   The host of the venue hurriedly walked to his side and said anxiously: "Mr. Dawson, the debate is not over yet, there are still some topics behind. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Rutledge looked at the supporters in the audience and raised his hands with a smile: "This debate has no meaning to me. I have seen a group of backward, stubborn, conservative managers, This kingdom is leading in the wrong direction! I must stand up, correct their mistakes, and lead the kingdom back to the right path!"

   The students took the lead and stood up, raising their hands while shouting loudly: "Correct the mistake! Lead back to the right path!"

   Rutledge pushed the host away, came to the students, and shouted: "Long live the Kingdom of Muxi!"

   "Long live Muxi Kingdom!"

   witnessed Rutledge's performance and demeanor in the debate. At first it was just the students, then the young observers around, and finally the audience of the entire venue gradually joined Rutledge's team.

   In the stands on the second floor, Todd took a long breath, stood up and said: "The play is over, it's time to go back."

   Hudgens looked at Emerson who was lost on the stage, and asked in a low voice: "Then...The Prime Minister...?"

   "Don't bother him at this time."

   Todd looked at the cheering crowd around Rutledge, and whispered: "Are you careerists, greedy people, idiots and... mediocre people...?"
