Chapter 168: The Grand Master is Not Good to Be (The Second Shift of the Alliance Leader)
The Knights Templar, the strength she has is far stronger than Qin Zhiyuan thinks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Let's talk about the financial resources of the Templar Order, the Templar Order's monthly income was 6 million pounds, don't underestimate this figure, the British royal family at that time, their income was only 200,000 pounds.
The Knights Templar was once France's largest creditor, and it was for this reason that King Philip IV of France wanted to acquire the Templars' wealth to subsidize France's deficit.
The Knights Templar once controlled the treasury of England and France......
However, what did not match the Templars' vast wealth was the Templars' military power, which had fallen to the bottom.
The former Knights Templar, with 140,000 troops and a base of fans throughout Europe, were no slouch in the Mamluks of the smash hit Arab kingdom. However, the Knights Templar have now declined, with only a few thousand loyal fans hidden in all corners of Europe.
Europe-Arab ......
Qin Zhiyuan seemed to have something in his mind, but he didn't grasp the inspiration, and for a while he felt empty in his heart, his mind was chaotic, and he was extremely uncomfortable.
"After the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the Reformation arose in Europe, and in order to find a way out, the Knights Templar also extended their tentacles to the New World, and now in the United States, there are also many Templar supporters, such as Rockefeller, such as Carnegie, such as John Pierpont Morgan, who died just a few years ago." Auerbach went on and named a series of famous personalities.
"Rockefeller? Carnegie? Impossible, right? Qin Zhiyuan was shocked and incredible.
As far as Qin Zhiyuan knows, the relationship between Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan is not good, and these three people belong to the three major fields of oil, steel, and finance, and the consortium they established is the three giants of the US economic circles.
It would be a stretch to say that they were all fans of the Knights Templar.
"Nothing is impossible, the Knights Templar is resisted by almost all secular nations, and we have to disguise ourselves. As for the commercial competition, which is only a free transfer of wealth, and does not fall aside, do you think that Rockefeller will donate his property casually? Auerbach continued, without being shocked.
"I'm afraid he won't just give it to me. I have a question. Why me? Qin Zhiyuan was puzzled.
If Qin Zhiyuan didn't understand the power in the hands of the Knights Templar and didn't understand the meaning of the Grand Master of the Templar Order before, then Qin Zhiyuan completely understands it now. Owns the Rockefeller Consortium, the Carnegie Consortium. The Knights Templar, supported by the Morgan Consortium, have a power that no other country can match. According to some conspiracy theories, the Knights Templar were the hidden hands that manipulated the world. Even a wealthy man like Louis Reynaud did not even have a seat in the Templar Order, which shows the Templar background.
Why would such a behemoth choose a Chinese from the East? And are they Chinese who are not valued by mainstream European society? This question unexpectedly came to Qin Zhiyuan's mind.
"Why? That's a good question. But if you know what the Templars have done. You wouldn't ask that. You can imagine what else could be faulty about the Knights Templar, who could give the full support of even a short man born in Corsica? There was actually a trace of sadness on Auerbach's face, and Qin Zhiyuan almost doubted his eyes.
A dwarf from Corsica, then Napoleon.
"Could it be that Napoleon was the last Grand Master of the Templar Order?" Qin Zhiyuan was dumbfounded.
"Yes, although Bonaparte Napoleon has been dead for nearly a hundred years, the real Grand Master of the Templar Order, unlike the titular Grand Master of the Templar Order, who has no real power, is not indispensable, so here comes to you, the 28th. And not the 57th. Auerbach explained in detail.
Qin Zhiyuan now understood that since the Grand Master Jacques de Molay was burned to death, the Knights Templar had entered a period of reconstruction. During this period, there was a nominal Grand Master of the Knights Templar, but he had no real power, and the de facto Grand Master of the Knights Templar was not always there, and the real Grand Master of the Knights Templar would only be born when the right person appeared.
"So what is the responsibility of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar?" Qin Zhiyuan was wooden.
Napoleon reigned over the whole of Europe. He fought almost invincible opponents all over the world, fought until the Russians set fire to their capital, and organized seven anti-French alliances in Europe, but finally failed. Qin Zhiyuan asked himself, now he can't be compared with Napoleon at the beginning, what Napoleon didn't do, Qin Zhiyuan doesn't think he can do it.
"In the beginning, we wanted to restore the Knights Templar's glory throughout the world and establish a true Christ Age. But from the First French Empire. This argument has gradually lost its market, and it has now become impossible to conquer the whole world by force. Therefore, the current Knights Templar has begun to change from military conquest to a deeper level of culture and economy, and if possible, we hope that the glory of the Lord will shine in every corner of the world. Auerbach actually had such lofty ambitions, which made Qin Zhiyuan shudder.
"Hurry, hurry, Pierre, go back, I'm going to find His Majesty the Pope, this Grand Master can't do anything!" Qin Zhiyuan shook his head.
Qin Zhiyuan was scared, this important task of saving the world should be handed over to someone else to complete. Qin Zhiyuan is not an American, he has no hobby of saving mankind, this hero, it is better to let others be it, Qin Zhiyuan just wants to live his own life quietly, if he can improve the international status of the Chinese by the way, it is better, Qin Zhiyuan really does not have such a big ideal, and he can't afford to lead the Knights Templar.
"Shenma?" Pierre and Auerbach exclaimed, their voices out of tune.
"Qin, you have to calm down, the current Knights Templar is just an empty shell, there is nothing, I just said that, I was teasing you." Auerbach Khan rained down.
At this time, Auerbach remembered Qin Zhiyuan's temperament, this Lord who dared to let His Majesty the Pope wait, if this was not to his liking, Qin Zhiyuan would really dare to go back and resign!
Resign...... It's like changing jobs!
"Qin, you just made me your bodyguard, if you dare to go back and resign, I will drive the car into the Mediterranean." Pierre Falls Khan.
Pierre will be heartbroken, he is like a knight who has been pursuing the princess for more than ten years, and when he finally meets the princess, he finds that the princess is going to come out of the closet......
"But, this Grand Master Rausch is going to save the world, do you think of me?" Qin Zhiyuan was furious.
Pierre cautiously stopped the car, stared at Qin Zhiyuan intently with Auerbach for a long time, and said in unison: "Like! ”
I'll go, Qin Zhiyuan really wants to go back to the unkempt appearance in the morning.
