Chapter 148: Patriots
The three of David returned to the side of the convoy with a blushing face, but they didn't say anything under David's strict order, after all, it was an emergency, and he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to this war against demons because of the difference in ideas, to put it bluntly, now David must rely on the Holy See, even if they are all murderers, they have to use it, because there are still a group of man-eating monsters that they need to deal with.

Came to the convoy, looking at the inquiring eyes of the detectives, David squeezed out a smile, "Five demons, all of them have been killed." β
The agents cheered, glad they didn't have to test the demon's power with their lives. David leaned on the car and took out a cigarette and smoked it, he felt very uncomfortable, it was true that the arrival of the knights of the Holy See indirectly saved the lives of these young men, but the three civilians who died innocently and tragically were not lives? David had always believed that there was no distinction between life and life, but unfortunately, he knew that few people would agree with his beliefs in extraordinary times.
Seeing Luis and the others came back, the detectives applauded and welcomed them like heroes, and David also threw away his cigarette butts, forget it, you can't force others to have a spirit of sacrifice, it's enough for you to be able to uphold your own beliefs.
The convoy moved forward again, and David did not go back to the bus to find himself bored, but sat in the small car in front of him.
There were no more accidents during this trip, and everyone arrived at the White House safely. Mr. President, as always, welcomed guests from afar in front of the White House, to which the knights of the Holy See maintained their usual style and did not show much excitement.
It was still a dinner party, during which the thirty-three knights did not say a word, just silently ate their own things, and Secretary General Louis was relatively much more enthusiastic and responded positively to the president.
After the dinner, Mr. President, who had always been more knowledgeable, did not retain too many people from the Holy See, and sent someone to lead them to a hotel near the White House to rest, while David was left behind.
The two entered the study, and the president motioned for all the bodyguards to leave the room, "David, tell me who those ascetics are looking at the whole process." β
"Yes, sir. I arrived at the Vatican, and met His Majesty the Pope very smoothly, and after explaining his intentions, the Pope attached great importance to it, and he summoned a group of bishops to listen to me describe in detail what happened here, and soon discussed the results, and sent people to help us, this is the first batch, and the Pope promised that more people will come as the events go further. β
"The most important department of the Holy See is the predecessor of the once famous Inquisition, and it is also the only armed department of the Holy See, and there are as many as 25 people at the level of bishop and above in this department, which is enough to prove its status in the Holy See."
"The current minister of the Congregation for the Faith is Cardinal Gerhard? Ludwig? MΓΌller, and this time leading the team was their secretary general, Archbishop Louis? Lataglia? Ferrer, in terms of the selection of personnel, they attach great importance to this matter, I heard that the knights of the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine only have 77 people, and this time they sent 33 people at one time. β
The president nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that what Li said is right, after learning the news of the demon, the Holy See immediately lost his breath, it seems that they will not let go of this opportunity to turn around." But it doesn't matter, the helpers called by Lee have also arrived, let them show their skills and deal with the demons together, anyway, the United States is a multi-faith country, who of them does a good job, I don't mind if they preach here. β
David hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Mr. President, there are some things I want you to know, be prepared in advance." β
"You say, don't be restrained."
David said exactly what happened on the way here, "Your Excellency, we need to reassess the proportion of the Holy See in this matter, I think some of their practices are not very humane, if they are given too much power in this demon war, I am afraid that they will do something irreparable, of course, this is only my personal opinion, and the specific decision needs to be made by you." β
The president thought about this issue seriously, indeed, in terms of the acceptance of the American people, Catholicism has always been by their side, and it is more convenient to accept it, but if it is really like what David said, because of their simplicity and rudeness, they can of course pat their butts and return to the European continent, but it must be the US government that wipes their butts. Lee's actions in Chicago, by contrast, have pleased the president, at least the first thing they think of when dealing with infected people is medicine, not gathering for a massacre.
"David, you see if this will work, divide the region by continent and let Li and the Holy See be responsible separately, so that there is a clear contrast between them, so that even if the Holy See does something, at least we can find someone to take over as soon as possible, and in this way, the Holy See may take into account the impact and dare not do so much."
His Excellency the President's hand weighed the hand of David and nodded incessantly, although emotionally Li is his friend, but after all, it is a good way for the entire United States, to contain each other and compete with each other, which can not only stimulate the enthusiasm of both sides, but also play a role in mutual supervision.
"Mr. President, I think your method is good, it is very feasible, I will go back and study it and make a report to you as soon as possible."
"Hehe, don't worry." Seeing that David had already stood up, the president smiled and pressed down, "You have been running around all this time, you can rest first, let the Holy See clear the surroundings, and test their strength by the way, although they are invited back by us, but we have other options after all, which is equivalent to bidding, hehe." β
David smiled bitterly, sighed and said: "Thank you for your concern, but I really can't rest, I was very scared when I saw those demons in the suburbs of Washington, after all, it is only a few dozen miles away from you, if there is any accident here, I really can't imagine the consequences." β
"So, instead of me being scared at home, let me continue to work and try to drive the demon back to hell as soon as possible and then have a good rest."
"Okay." The president also stood up and solemnly extended his hand to David, "I can't stop a national defender from actively participating in his work, but I will remove all internal obstacles to your work, and I believe that I will hang your Medal of Honor at the celebration banquet in the near future." β
David held the president's hand tightly, he already knew that he had formed this independent agency and became the director, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction within the government, but all of them were eliminated by the old man in front of him in various ways, and whether it was money or manpower, his application was always approved as soon as possible, so he had to repay the president with hard work for everything he did, and use practical actions to dispel the doubts about Mr. President within the federal government, he firmly believed that there was such a leader, No matter how difficult things are, they cannot bring down his most beloved motherland.
