The benefits of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar are not only that there is one more housekeeper who can only manage money, but there are also more benefits waiting for Qin Zhiyuan to discover. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the evening, Smith Anthony, the current international secretary of the Knights Templar, visited Qin Zhiyuan, who learned more about the Templar Order's situation.

Since Bonaparte Napoleon's reign in Europe, the Knights Templar have been suppressed by almost all of Europe, so much so that twenty years ago, the Knights Templar could not even retain the nominal Grand Master, and only had a so-called "International Secretary-General" in charge of general affairs.

The Knights Templar were too powerful to cause alarm among the worldly nations. With the support of the Knights Templar, even a boy like Napoleon, who came from a Corsican rebel family, could become the emperor of France, so if the Knights Templar chose to support more powerful figures, what could be done was something that the leaders of all secular nations had to consider.

The current Knights Templar had branches in many countries, including France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and even Germany on the side of the Central Powers. However, the Knights Templar no longer seemed to be in glory, and the branches did not seem to want to restore the Templar Order to its former glory, but instead stuck on its laurels, and in some countries, branches of the Knights Templar even existed in name only.

At the same time, the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights, who were also among the three major knights, were also in a dormant period.

If the current Knights Templar were headquartered in France, the Knights Hospitaller were headquartered in England, and the Teutonic Order was headquartered in Germany. All three major orders are looking for their agents in secular society, wanting to restore their former glory.

Now, the Knights Templar have selected Qin Zhiyuan, while the candidates for the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights have not yet surfaced, and it is estimated that they are still watching to find candidates who they think have more potential.

"So now you understand? Excellency. Nominally, Smith and Qin Zhiyuan are of the same rank, so Smith still has a little scrutiny when he looks at Qin Zhiyuan. It is estimated that Qin Zhiyuan's potential is being assessed.

"Not a lot." Qin Zhiyuan thought for a while, and basically understood what Smith meant: "In other words, although I am now the Grand Master of the Templar Order, I can't call on the resources of the Templar Order at will. Because that could lead to a boycott from the worldly nations, even in France. ”

Qin Zhiyuan was sitting behind the desk in the study at this time, and Smith was sitting opposite him.

Although it is a hotel, Qin Zhiyuan has chartered a suite with complete facilities. There are study rooms and gyms. There's even a separate kitchenette for guests to get their hands on when they need it.

"That's pretty much it, the Knights Templar are powerful, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Even to make things easier for you, you will have to keep your distance from the Holy See and the Knights Templar. Because if you are found out about your relationship with the Knights Templar, they may be able to form another alliance against France. It is not surprising that more than 100 years ago, the previous Grand Master of the Templars, His Excellency Napoleon, experienced seven such sieges. Smith put on a heartfelt posture.

Napoleon in history was indeed besieged by seven anti-French allies. Qin Zhiyuan used to think that it was just because of the struggle between national interests, but he didn't expect that there was also this secret.

Perhaps it was not only the secular states that participated in the siege of Napoleon, but also the shadow of the Holy See, because Qin Zhiyuan noticed that Smith used the term "certain people" to refer to those who besieged Napoleon, and these people may have referred to the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights.

After all, the British and Germans were the main forces besieging the anti-French alliance at that time, and the headquarters of the Knights Hospitaller were in England, and the headquarters of the Teutonic Knights were in Germany. This is simply a power struggle within the Holy See, for these routines. Qin Zhiyuan is too familiar.

External factors are of course an important reason for the collapse of countless dynasties in Chinese history, because the attrition caused by internal strife is the fundamental reason. The present papacy is clearly a dynasty that is about to fall, and it has been resisted by the entire secular state. But they are still fighting each other to increase internal friction, and they really won't die if they don't die.

This also fully explains why Benedict XV handed over the Knights Templar to Qin Zhiyuan.

Benedict XV didn't want to see the three knights destroyed in self-consumption like this, so he chose Qin Zhiyuan's "x" to add vitality to the Holy See.

If there is no accident, then the three knights will perish like another time and space, and the Holy See will lose all rights. Of course. Maybe it's not dead, the three knights are still looking for potential spokespeople, who knows......

"So what do I get now? Since I have been given such a difficult task, I must be given enough support. "Qin Zhiyuan asks for benefits, if you want to let the horses run, at least you have to eat first.

"You can call upon all the resources that belong to the Knights Templar, but of course, there are some resources that you need to coordinate, such as those from the United States. The Knights Templar did support Morgan, but that doesn't mean that the Knights Templar owned the Morgan Consortium, which can facilitate you in some ways, and even finance some of your funds, but it is impossible to take out all of their assets to fund your business, and even they will also fund other people they think have potential, you need to understand that. Smith confirmed Qin Zhiyuan's authority.

"Of course, I understand that." Qin Zhiyuan agreed.

Qin Zhiyuan did not expect the Knights Templar to own the Morgan Consortium, and before the World War, Morgan and his allies had a total of $51 billion in assets, accounting for a quarter of the assets of the United States. If the Knights Templar owned the Morgan Consortium, they wouldn't have gone to great lengths to find Qin Zhiyuan, and they could buy the whole world with money.

"But as the Grand Master of the Templar Order, you have enviable resources in your own right, such as the navy you came to Rome for this time, why can't you think differently? For example...... You can have an independent navy. Smith suggested another possibility.

Navy? Qin Zhiyuan's heart was pounding.

"It's hard. I may have enough assets to buy a fleet, but I don't have enough people to run them, and you know, the navy is different from the army, and you can't just bring in one person to do it. Qin Zhiyuan was very unwilling.

Qin Zhiyuan was also reluctant to come to Rome to pretend to be his grandson, he did consider having a navy, in that case, Qin Zhiyuan would also face greater difficulties.

The navy is different from the army, it is more professional, and the training cycle is longer, even if Qin Zhiyuan starts to work now, I am afraid that he will not be able to participate in the world war.

"As Grand Master of the Templar Order, you don't have to worry about sailors, that's the beauty of the Templar Order." Smith smiled.

Considering Pierre's yearning for the Knights Templar, you can understand the Templar's place in the eyes of Europeans.
