Chapter 204 Split
Although Jin Bing disappeared from the eyes of the people of this country, this country cannot pretend that nothing happened.

The fact that the Tsar was a traitor, a spy, and a coward shattered the faith of many people.

The entire country is being torn apart irreparably.

In the capital, the shadow left by Jin Bing lingered for a long time. People began to question everything, and the once solid belief in imperial power became fragmented.

On the streets, people were talking about it, some were angry, some were desperate, and most were confused and afraid about the future. The country that was once united is now like a pile of loose sand, each doing its own thing.

Local forces began to rise, and local lords and nobles took the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence.

They took advantage of the chaos brought about by the Tsar's betrayal and the rampage of the Jin Dynasty to recruit soldiers and stockpile food in an attempt to gain a foothold in the coming chaos.

These forces have also been joined by some disaffected people, who are hungry for power and eager to find their own foothold in this chaotic world.

At the same time, the church also played an important role in this storm.

Some bishops and priests began to spread oracles everywhere, and through the influence of the apparition of the Son of America, they claimed that this was Yahweh's punishment on the world and the inevitable result of the serious sins of the Holy Eastern Roman Empire.

They called on people to believe in God and pray for salvation, but more people smelled the flavor of politics in their words and their trust in the church was greatly reduced.

In the north of the country, a group of young soldiers who were dissatisfied with the status quo united together. Under the banner of restoring the former glory, they called on people to unite and fight against the tyranny of Jin Bing and the separatist rule of local lords.

Their voices were quickly responded to, and an army of young people quickly grew.

They are well disciplined and have strong fighting capacity, becoming an important force after the country's division.

In the south, some businessmen took the opportunity to develop their own power.

They took advantage of the business opportunities brought about by the chaos and war in various places, stockpiled large quantities of supplies, and engaged in smuggling trade.

Not only did they earn huge wealth, they also gradually controlled the economic lifelines of some regions.

Although these businessmen do not appear to participate in political struggles, their economic strength makes them a presence that cannot be ignored.

As time went by, the confrontation between the forces in the North and the South became increasingly obvious, and the rift in the country seemed to be widened by an invisible hammer.

An organization of young soldiers in the north called themselves the "Glorious Legion". Their leader was a young general who had suffered oppression under the Tsarist regime. With his outstanding military talent and firm beliefs, he trained a group of equally discontented young people into an unstoppable army.

Not only have they achieved remarkable feats on the battlefield, but they have also won widespread support and respect among the people. People believe that only they can lead the country out of darkness and regain its former glory.

However, the rise of the Glorious Legion also aroused the vigilance of lords from all over the world. In order to protect their own interests, these lords began to form secret alliances, trying to curb the expansion of the Glorious Legion through the combined strength.

Not only did they strengthen their respective military defenses, they also secretly colluded with foreign forces, hoping to use external forces to balance the domestic power structure.

This move undoubtedly exacerbated the country's unrest and made the already fragile diplomatic relations even worse.

In the south, the business empires built by businessmen are also not to be underestimated.

Using their wealth, they began to infiltrate the political sphere, trying to make their voices heard in politics by funding or directly controlling local councils.

Some far-sighted businessmen even began to invest in education, science and technology, and culture, hoping to consolidate their social status and explore new paths for the country's future development by improving people's living standards and knowledge levels.

Although their original intention was for their own benefit, these measures objectively promoted the economic prosperity and social progress of the South.

At the same time, divisions within the church are becoming increasingly serious. Some bishops and priests adhere to traditional interpretations of doctrine, emphasizing that prayer and patience are the only way to deal with the current crisis.

The other part was more radical. They began to advocate reform, believing that the church must keep pace with the times and actively participate in social change in order to regain the trust of the people.

This internal division not only weakens the cohesion of the church, but also makes people's views on the church more complex and changeable.

The church even made a ruling to Tony Stark, who was both the Supreme Commander and the Archbishop in America.

"Why do these things always happen one after another?" Tony murmured to himself. He had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Not only did he have to manage the affairs of the country, but he also had to take into account the stability of the church.

At this moment, the situation in Europe is like a powder keg that may explode at any time, and the division within the church makes him feel powerless.

He picked up the report on the table and read every detail carefully, trying to find clues to solve the problem.

However, as he read further, his brows furrowed more and more, and the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Director Xia, do you have any idea to solve this problem?"

Tony really had a headache. This kind of problem was the last thing he wanted to deal with, but it happened that this kind of problem was the most common.

"Tony, aren't you a super genius? How come you can't solve problems like this?"

Xia Ling laughed and teased.

Xia Ling's teasing did not ease Tony's expression, but made it even more solemn.

He put down the report in his hand and rubbed his temple, obviously overwhelmed by the current situation.

"Director Xia, stop joking. Although I am a super genius, I am not omnipotent. The situation in Europe is complicated and the forces of all parties are intertwined. It is not easy to find a suitable solution."

Tony sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

Seeing this, Xia Ling put away his smile and said seriously, "Indeed, this problem is very serious, but it is not completely unsolvable. We can start from two aspects."

"Which two aspects?"

Tony immediately perked up, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"First, in terms of military, the rise of the Glorious Legion has aroused the vigilance of lords from all over the world. They have begun to form secret alliances in an attempt to curb the expansion of the Glorious Legion. We can use this to secretly support lords who are willing to cooperate with us and let them buy our arms."

Xia Ling said slowly. Tony nodded, thinking that this plan was feasible to a certain extent: "What about the second aspect?"

"The second aspect is the economy and people's livelihood." Xia Ling continued, his eyes becoming sharp and deep. "Although the merchants in the south do not participate in political struggles on the surface, their economic strength and control over the economic lifeline cannot be ignored. We can try to establish cooperation with them and export our influence here by providing technical and financial support."

Tony raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously surprised by the proposal: "Cooperate with them? It was okay before, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this country is about to be destroyed. Even if we can control it, all we can get is ruins."

Tony's doubts were not unreasonable. After all, Europe was raging in war and the country was on the brink of collapse.

However, Xia Ling had his own far-reaching considerations. He slowly explained, "We can take this opportunity to transform that land into a place of faith for the Son of God. There is no time easier to preach than in chaos. After all, you are the archbishop." Xia Ling's words made Tony's eyes flicker. He began to seriously think about this unprecedented proposal. After all, he had received so many favors from the Son of God and he was the archbishop. It would be unreasonable not to make some contribution.

"You mean, we can take this opportunity to preach and let the light of the Son of God illuminate this land?" Tony asked slowly, his voice filled with uncertainty but curiosity.

"That's right, Tony." Xia Ling nodded, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "In chaos and turmoil, people tend to find spiritual sustenance more easily. Although the merchants in the south pursue profits, they also know the importance of a stable social order to business. If we can cooperate with them, we can not only gain economic benefits, but more importantly, we can spread faith in the process and guide people towards inner peace and unity."

Tony was silent for a while, as if he was weighing the pros and cons. He knew very well that once he took this step, there would be no turning back. But at the same time, he also understood that this might be the only chance to save the country, and even the entire European continent, from the dire straits.

"Okay, Director Xia, I agree with your plan." Tony finally made up his mind, "But we must act cautiously and make sure every step is steady. We need to develop a detailed strategy that protects our interests while minimizing the casualties of innocent people."

Xia Ling smiled with satisfaction; he knew what Tony's decision meant.

While the two were discussing their plan, the already crumbling Holy Eastern Roman Empire underwent another drastic change.

The internal contradictions and pressures of the Glorious Legion in the north are becoming increasingly prominent.

The leader's young generals, although they had outstanding military talents, were relatively inexperienced in political struggles.

He began to realize that relying solely on force could not completely resolve the country's division and turmoil, and that the secret alliances among local lords posed a huge threat to the Glorious Legion.

At the same time, the merchant forces in the South were facing unprecedented challenges.

Although they made huge fortunes through smuggling and hoarding supplies, the long-term war and turmoil began to take a toll on their business empire.

The economic lifelines of some regions were destroyed by the war and the interests of merchants were seriously damaged.

More importantly, they began to realize that their business activities would be unsustainable if the country continued to be divided.

Against this backdrop, both the Glorious Legion in the north and the merchant forces in the south felt an unprecedented crisis.

The leader of the Glorious Legion decided to adopt a more radical strategy, trying to completely defeat the local lords through a decisive battle and achieve national unification.

However, this strategy was opposed by some generals and the public, who believed that doing so would only make the war more brutal and cause greater casualties among innocent people.

The business forces in the south began to seek cooperation with the outside world, trying to stabilize the domestic economic situation by introducing external funds and technology.

However, this move aroused the vigilance and opposition of other domestic forces, who believed that it was a betrayal and selling out of the country by the business forces.

As the internal conflicts between the Glorious Legion and the merchant forces continued to intensify, the Holy Eastern Roman Empire once again fell into unprecedented turmoil.

Lords and nobles from all over the country took the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence, trying to gain more benefits in the coming chaos.

The people fell into deep despair and began to doubt everything. Their once strong faith and loyalty now became shattered.

Against this backdrop, the rift in the country widened further and the confrontation between the North and the South became increasingly apparent.

The conflicts and struggles between the Glorious Legion and the merchant forces further exacerbated the division and turmoil in the country.

The once united Holy Eastern Roman Empire is now like a pile of loose sand, each doing its own thing, and no longer has the splendor and glory of the past.

As the internal conflicts between the Glorious Legion in the north and the merchant forces in the south of the Holy Eastern Roman Empire continued to escalate, the two major forces gradually moved to the brink of disintegration and collapse.

The leader of the Glorious Legion, the young general, although possessing outstanding military talents, his immaturity in political struggles made it difficult for him to handle the complex situation.

His radical strategy was opposed by some generals and the public, and the division within the army became increasingly serious.

Some generals began to contact local lords privately, seeking cooperation in order to protect themselves.

They believed that continuing to follow the leader's radical strategy would only sink the army deeper into the quagmire from which it could not extricate itself.

The betrayal of these generals greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Glorious Legion and lowered its morale.

At the same time, the merchant forces in the South were facing unprecedented challenges.

Although they made huge fortunes through smuggling and hoarding supplies, long-term wars and turmoil caused their business empire to begin to crumble.

The economic lifelines of some regions were destroyed by the war and the interests of merchants were seriously damaged.

They began to realize that their business activities would be difficult to sustain if the country continued to be divided.

Against this background, the merchant forces in the south also began to split.

Some businessmen began to seek cooperation with the outside world, trying to stabilize the domestic economic situation by introducing external funds and technology.

However, this move aroused the vigilance and opposition of other domestic forces, who believed that it was a betrayal and selling out of the country by the business forces.

These opponents began to organize themselves and tried to overthrow the rule of the merchant forces.

With the disintegration and collapse of the Glorious Legion and the merchant forces, the Holy Eastern Roman Empire once again fell into unprecedented turmoil.

Lords and nobles from all over the country took the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence, trying to gain more benefits in the coming chaos.

They recruited soldiers, stockpiled food, and strengthened military defenses in an attempt to protect themselves.

The people fell into deep despair. They began to doubt everything, and their once strong faith and loyalty became fragmented.

They yearn for peace and stability, but the current situation leaves them with no hope.

Against this backdrop, some people began to organize themselves and attempted to overthrow the existing ruling order through violent means.

As the situation deteriorated further, the Holy Eastern Roman Empire gradually split into multiple forces.

The Glorious Legion in the north was split into several small warlords, each acting on their own and fighting against each other.

The merchant forces in the south also split into several business groups, which competed fiercely for resources and markets.

In addition, some local forces began to rise. They took advantage of local resources and population advantages and tried to gain a foothold in the troubled times.
