Chapter 056, Faith and Betrayal
Hebrew didn't want to betray the Vatican, but he didn't want to die even more, and in the trade-off between the two, he resolutely chose the latter, sent him to Iraq, and forced him to die, which he couldn't accept.
After a few minutes of silence, Hebrew called one of the church's most trusted priests, and Hebrew took out a letter and handed it to him: "Louis, you go to the barracks of the Prophet's Army and give this letter to their Supreme Commander, Simon!" ”
Louis looked strange, but he did not take the letter, although he was not a high-level Vatican, but he knew very well that the Vatican was opposed to Iraq, because the supreme leader of the Prophet Army was a prophet and believed in *** religion, and now let him send the letter to the Prophet Army, or to their supreme commander, which is suspected of collaborating with the enemy.
Although he is a close confidant of the Hebrews, he will not do anything to betray the Vatican, and even if he accepts the mission, the Americans will not let him leave easily, and the checkpoints of the peacekeeping forces are not so easy.
Seeing that Louis was embarrassed, Hebrew said coldly: "This letter is related to our lives, we believe in God, but when God raises the butcher's knife against us, I think it is time for us to give up our faith." ”
Louis was shocked: "What the hell is going on, Father! ”
"Trust me, get this letter out there, or we'll all die, this us, including everyone in this huge cage." Heber said.
Louis nodded and took the letter, although he didn't know what was going on, but Hebrew's expression did not look like a lie: "I'll do it!" ”
Soon, Louis left the church, Hebrew had already arranged everything, the checkpoint of the US military was still very relaxed for them clergy, but the checkpoint of the peacekeeping force was not so good, but just after the checkpoint of the US army, Louis hesitated.
Although he was a close confidant of the Hebrews, it was because the Hebrew rank was much higher than him, but in his heart, faith still came first, although he did not know the content of this letter, but Louis knew very well that as long as he stepped out of Baghdad and entered the defense zone of the Prophet's army, he was a traitor, just like Judas at the Last Supper, although he may be prosperous and rich while he is alive, but he will go to hell after death.
For a clergyman, going to hell after death is the last thing they want, especially a clergyman like Louis who is extremely devout in his faith.
"No, I can't betray the Vatican, I can't betray the Pope, I can't betray God!" Louis decided what was in his heart, and when he was about to enter the checkpoint of the peacekeeping force, he suddenly turned his car and headed for the headquarters of the American army.
It was at this time that the Hebrews were very uneasy, but he did not suspect that Louis would betray him, and in the eyes of the Hebrews, Louis was more trustworthy than the Templars around him, because his mind was flexible rather than a fanatical believer.
The reason for his uneasiness came from the power and eyeliner of the Vatican, he feared that Louis would be caught, and as time passed, the Hebrews became more and more uneasy, and he finally decided to leave the church himself and go to the Prophet Army barracks.
After leaving the church, he left on the other side, the road to Baghdad International Airport, where in addition to the checkpoints of the American military, there was also the Chinese peacekeeping police, which was much more conservative than the peacekeepers of other countries.
And the Hebrews knew that these peacekeepers from China were actually connected to the Prophet's Army, so this road was the safest.
"Father, where are you going?" When passing through the U.S. military checkpoint, the commander of the checkpoint suddenly walked out, and more than a dozen U.S. troops were in a state of mental lethargy, and even the disguised M1A2 Abrams main battle tank on the side of the road looked a little down.
The commander with the rank of second lieutenant was called David, and the Hebrew knew him, because in the morning he had just gone to the church to do a morning class, for the current US troops in Iraq, the church was their only hope, and it was also a place for them to confide, in order to make up for morale, the Supreme Commander of the US forces in Iraq, Natasha, allowed the soldiers to go to the church for worship and morning service, and they could also go to the priest for confession.
And the confession of the Catholic Church must be sincere and sincere, all inner matters must be told to the priest, and seek God's forgiveness, Hebrew knows the current morale of the US military better than Natasha, and Natasha has no choice but to make such a decision, after all, in addition to this method, Natasha has not found a better way to enhance the confidence of the US military to stay.
"I'm going to the Chinese camp, and when I hear that there have been suicides there, I'm going to confess them myself and tell them that God hasn't abandoned them." Hebrew said calmly.
Hearing this, David didn't say anything, although he knew very well that the peacekeeping police from China and the Prophet Army were inextricably linked, but the U.S. military and the peacekeeping forces of other countries now know what situation they are in, so they often ask the Chinese peacekeepers to bring some contraband, such as cigarettes, or beer.
These things were contraband in the eyes of the Prophet Army, and they had already been confiscated by the Outer Prophet Army when they entered Baghdad, so although they could eat and dress themselves here, they definitely did not enjoy it as much as outside, and they did not have to drink the most basic cigarettes and beer, let alone other activities.
"Father, when you come back in the evening, I'll go to church, and you will make a confession for me yourself, okay?" David said with a smile.
Hebrew nodded, "God will forgive all sinful people." ”
"Release!" After David walked away, he commanded.
The U.S. troops at the checkpoint watched Hebrew leave, but at this moment, the phone at the checkpoint suddenly rang, and David picked it up casually and said: "This is the ninth checkpoint in Baghdad, what is the matter with you?" ”
"I am the headquarters, did Father Hebrew leave you? If you see him, immediately arrest him and send him to the headquarters! "There was a bit of a rush on the other end of the phone.
David could not have imagined that he would receive such an order, and the Hebrew priest had just left his checkpoint, although he did not know why the command gave such an order, but David carried it out, and he immediately let his subordinates get into the Humvee and chase after him.
At the same time, in the U.S. Embassy in Iraq, the U.S. Forces General Command in Iraq, Natasha was playing with a pen, and at this time a letter was on her desk, and it was addressed to Simon, the chief of the general staff of the Prophet Army, and Natasha read the contents of the letter word for word.
And now she is making a choice, she knows that if this letter reaches Simon, what will happen next may not be very bad, but if this letter does not reach Simon, then calm Baghdad, something big may happen.
The person who sent him this letter was Louis, the pastor of the Catholic Church in Iraq, and if it were someone else, he might not know why the Vatican Pope would directly order the arrest of a peacekeeping policeman from China, and even personally send someone to carry out this mission to help the Vatican.
But Natasha smelled a huge conspiracy in this letter.
When Hebrew was caught, Natasha was even more sure that the contents of the letter were true and that Hebrew had betrayed the Vatican.
Half an hour later, looking at the priest in front of her, who was respected by everyone, Natasha couldn't believe that he would betray the Vatican, but it made her even more convinced that this letter contained a great conspiracy, and this conspiracy could destroy the whole of Baghdad, and even the whole of New Iraq.
At least before the Senate is destroyed, Natasha doesn't want the new Iraq to be destroyed, which is also the only weight she can use to deal with the Senate, as for whether she and Canglong are enemies after the destruction of the Senate, that's a matter of later.
"What are you doing in the Chinese camp?" Natasha asked, staring at Hebrew.
"Confession, where they appeared," the Hebrew exit tried to disguise.
But Natasha directly interrupted: "I know better than you how the Chinese are, don't use these to lie to me, let's say, what is the real purpose of your going there." ”
Under Natasha's questioning, Hebrew did not panic: "I said it, I went to confess for them!" ”
"Confession!" Natasha sneered, took out the letter from the drawer, threw it to him, and said, "Is this going to confession?" ”
Hebrew's face changed, and he finally couldn't calm down, he looked at Natasha helplessly, with an expression at your disposal, and he didn't open his mouth to explain.
Natasha said calmly: "You know very well what is going on behind this, right, maybe you say it, I will help you, not necessarily." ”
Hebrew didn't expect Natasha to change his tone, and actually said that he wanted to help him, at this time, in addition to surprise, he was vigilant, but looking at the letter on the table, he also understood that if Natasha really wanted to deal with him, the evidence was conclusive, and there was no need for other reasons.
So he was even more surprised in his heart, looked at Natasha and wondered, "Who are you?" ”
"A person who can help you, of course, I will not betray my country, nor will I betray my faith, as you think in your heart, you have not betrayed your faith, have you?" Natasha said with a smile.
Hebrew was silent, and then said: "You are very clever, it seems that you also know the conspiracy behind this, we came here to assassinate the prophet, but unfortunately it did not succeed, and now the Vatican is asking us to arrest the Chinese policewoman, just to provoke the prophet, and then let us die together, under the terrible anger of the prophet." ”
Although Natasha had already guessed a few points, she was still a little surprised when she heard this conspiracy with her own ears, as a pope, she dared to take so many people's lives to achieve her goals, which made Natasha can't believe it, is this the Catholicism she believes in?
