Since the day of its birth, religion has borne the heavy trust of the human soul, and when human beings encounter irresistible forces such as natural and man-made disasters, only religion can finally calm the feelings of human beings without collapsing.

In his previous life, Xiao Lotian once heard a small gossip about who is the biggest real estate developer on the planet and who is the richest man in the world. The answer is undoubtedly Christianity, the first of the three major religions of mankind, which has dominated the heart of Europe since the time of ancient Rome, and has sacrificed countless lands, gold and silver for thousands of years.

Coupled with the fact that Europe began to colonize the world after the Age of Discovery, the power of Christianity expanded rapidly with warships and colonies.

The church always gets the best land, and the church gets the most donations, and this wealth is invested in the mission again, which is a virtuous circle, and the growth of Christianity really makes sense.

Why is it that France has always been revered as the center of aristocratic culture in Europe, and why is it not Vienna? This is the ingenuity of the French, whose kings have made it their mission to promote Catholicism. They just mixed the extremely cumbersome Catholic rites with aristocratic etiquette to create a kind of court style that looked very high.

It was this kind of court style that made the French look at the surrounding countries like dirt buns, and then under the vigorous propaganda of Catholicism, this court style soon became the mainstream value of Europe.

It can be seen that Christianity has a place in the hearts of Europeans that even the word fanaticism cannot be properly described.

Now Bishop Yax had been in front of Xiao Hexin for more than a minute, and the music in the garden was three points quieter, and countless barons, viscounts, counts, and their wives were watching the bishop's every move with bated breath.

The orchestra conductor's heart became more and more empty, and he quickly controlled the band to lower the key, and finally stopped altogether.

"Child, can you tell me how this scar came from?" When the bishop finished speaking, Jonas in the crowd hurriedly rushed over to translate, but before he could get there, Xiao Hexin had already spoken.

Xiao Hexin has only been in contact with German for less than five months, but for smart people, five months is already able to learn a lot.

"Bishop...... Excellency... It's a ...... Scald scars...... It's on the outskirts of Hamburg...... The ...... who was injured in the fire "Xiao Hexin's German was very stumbling, but every word was said accurately, and everyone understood.

There was a boom, and the crowd was filled with the sound of countless heads and ears. Bishop Yax had a look of pity, "Oh, child, may God bless you, please receive the blessing of the Lord......" After speaking, the bishop actually opened his hands and wanted to hug Xiao Hexin.

"Oh God... The bishop is going to bless the Chinese...... "In the doctrine of Christ, the bishop's blessing is a very honorable thing, and in many cases it is the preserve of the aristocracy, and the common people can be blessed by the priest of a small church for a lifetime.

This kind of blessing, the higher the rank, the more rare it is, if the Vatican pope came forward, the believers present, even the nobles, could kneel down and kiss the pope's feet.

Countless scorching eyes were cast on Xiao Hexin, and everyone present knew very well that no European would dare to insult the person who had been blessed by the bishop, because it was a betrayal of God.

But what is incredible is that Xiao Hexin actually hesitated, he even looked around in the crowd, he was looking for Xiao Letian's figure.

After just a few seconds of pause, there was a discussion around him, and many people looked at him a little unkindly, especially Viscount Alain from Austria, who strode forward two steps and opened his mouth to scold.

"Orientals... Do you dare to hesitate before God? You are disrespectful to the Lord...... Stand up, I will duel with you, and I will never allow the glory of the Lord to be disrespectful in the slightest......"

Good guy, this is a smashing of the field, if this is a duel, Xiao Letian's political appearance in Europe this time will become a farce.

Countless people talked about it, and the young men of the new army were spraying fire in their eyes, if they didn't have the task of honor guards today, they would all have to roll up their sleeves and beat him. What a bullshit viscount, a little bigger and more limited than a cat and a dog, he actually dared to smash the field.

Just as Alain's farce was about to play out, he was met by the bishop's electric gaze, and Bishop Yax only turned his head slightly, and glanced sideways at him. As a result, at this glance, Viscount Alain seemed to have been electrocuted, and his long mouth was immediately closed, and he didn't dare to jump out of a word.

No one dares to challenge the dignity of the Pope in the struggle for hegemony in Europe, even if there are two world wars, and no matter what the outcome of the war, the respect of the people and dignitaries for the Church remains unchanged.

Yax's eyes suppressed the arrogant Viscount Alain, and his outstretched arms did not retract, still looking at Xiao Hexin with a smile, his eyes were full of kindness.

Xiao Hexin was under a lot of pressure now, they hadn't thought of this unexpected situation before, and they didn't know how to deal with it at all. If you accept the bishop's blessing, it is impossible to say what effect it will have on your future plans.

Of course, this is just the rhetoric of the brothers of the New Army later, in fact, the main reason is that everyone has become accustomed to listening to Xiao Letian's orders, and it has become a knee-jerk reaction.

Xiao Lotian is not present, these young men are all dragons and tigers, but as long as Xiao Lotian is by their side, they will subconsciously choose to avoid making decisions, and the baton will always be in Xiao Letian's hands.

Just when the scene was embarrassing, two figures flashed out of the corner of the garden, one was Xiao Lotian and the other was Mr. Nobel, who was researching explosives.

Xiao Hexin's thief eyes immediately spotted the figure of the chief, and when he saw the smile on Xiao Letian's face, he was finally relieved, and generously opened his arms and hugged the bishop.

Countless guests wore crosses on their chests and cheered up. But the surprise was much more than that, Bishop Yax even kissed the scar lightly on the side of his face.

With a bang, the crowd shouted, this blessing is too heavy, if it is a devout Christian, he would have knelt down on one knee long ago when he encountered such a blessing, but this eastern warrior did not have the intention of kneeling at all.

"May God bless you, and from today onwards I give you the title of Defender of Hamburg, and the glory belongs to you......"

"Ahh

How precious is a title? It is not worth much, after all, the city of Hamburg does not need to pay them a small salary, but this kind of honor is too rare, and this has already raised their status very high, at least those ordinary Europeans such as farmers and miners should take the initiative to take off their hats and salute them.

The title bestowed by the bishop will be recognized by the Protestant church, and it will soon be publicized by countless pastors, and Protestant churches large and small in Europe will have a pastor to tell the story to the people after every service.

It is believed that in less than a year and a half, the story of the 'Defenders of Hamburg' will be known to Protestants all over Europe, and when the reputation is so high that everyone knows about it, the city of Hamburg will even have a statue of them forever.

From now on, as long as the Pope does not take back this honor, as long as the story is still circulating, as long as the sculpture is not pushed, then no one can morally attack these Chinese, if anyone dares to joke or insult these Eastern soldiers in the tavern as before.

When the time comes, naturally some people will drag him by the collar and go to the sculpture to let him see the evidence, which is a silent rebuttal, and this is the dignity of the whole of China.

Xiao Lotian was also moved, he didn't expect that the capital under Protestantism was so large, was this to use the credit of the church to endorse him morally? This was to make a name for himself? Oh my God, it looks like he will have to donate a few more churches when he goes back.

Bishop Yax's kiss completely pushed the prestige of the new army to the peak, and the bishop even grabbed Xiao Hexin's right wrist with one hand, raised it high and said loudly to everyone.

"God's people, look at these brave lads, and look at the scars on their bodies, which were left to save our children...... Come on, the defenders of Hamburg, stand in front of everyone and let them see......"

"Oh, this is the burn scar left on the fire, it's very long... And here, how can there be a knife wound...... My kid, can you untie your uniform and let us see?"

Xiao Hexin is a big man, and he is still afraid of others looking at him? After dividing five by two, he untied his mouth and took off his military uniform and shirt. When the tendons and flesh were exposed in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Oh God...... Such a strong man...... "Countless women's eyes are full of little stars, and the eight-pack abs are pulled out when they see it, and even some of them are naturally merry and unconsciously clamp their thighs."

Women look at flesh, men look at scars. The dozens of scars on Xiao Hexin's body moved all the men present, and Bishop Yax pointed to the scars and asked in a low voice.

"This piece was also burned in the fire, and it doesn't matter that this wound is not fatal...... Oh, you ask this... This was slashed by a Japanese ronin during the bloody battle of Naha in the Ryukyus, and he was about to bully a woman......"

"This was fought against the Manchu Green Battalion, and was beaten with shotgun iron sand, and those sneak attackers tried to rob the money of the entire Tanggu business district......

The wound is a soldier's military merit medal, and the dangers turned into a light joke in Xiao Hexin's mouth, while his audience's faces became more and more solemn. Especially that Viscount Alain, don't look tall, but when he saw this scar and the results of each game, he also sweated.

"Am I deprived of oxygen in my brain? How can I be stupid enough to want to duel with such a person, God, it's good that he didn't answer me...... It's gone, it's really gone......" The little viscount sighed in his heart, but his feet shrank back vigorously, and finally he completely hid behind the crowd.

At the end, Bishop Yax was moved, he raised Xiao Hexin's right hand high, and shouted to the crowd, "Is this the legendary sick man of East Asia? Is this the rumored Asian barbarian? I just calculated, more than half of the scars on the warrior's body are for protection, isn't such a person worthy of our respect?"

"I solemnly mention to the City of Hamburg that we should build statues of these warriors to thank them for their sacrifice and dedication...... All glory be to you..."

Until this moment, applause sounded like thunder, and a campaign was pushed to a climax by the bishop. What's even less intentional is that all the New Army soldiers present stood up and saluted one by one, and they shouted in unison.

"Glory to Lord Xiao..."

At that moment, in the midst of thunderous applause, Xiao Lotian officially debuted, and his identity as a politician was finally recognized by the whole of Europe.
