836 For the ideal
Jerusalem is an amazing place, two of the three major denominations in the world believe that it is their holy place, and the other has to be mentioned, that is, Judaism, where Jews consider Jerusalem to be their holy place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since he has the identity of Catholicism, it is also the right thing for Qin Zhiyuan to intervene in the Middle East in the name of Catholicism.
Of course, judging from the current situation, it is not easy for Qin Zhiyuan to intervene in the Middle East, after all, Palestine is under the control of the British, and Qin Zhiyuan can't bypass the British if he wants to intervene no matter what.
There is no need for Qin Zhiyuan to worry about this problem, after the meeting, Qin Zhiyuan returned to the Black Swan Castle, and Auerbach was waiting for Qin Zhiyuan.
Auerbach, who had achieved glory in Lanfang, was highly regarded after returning to the Vatican, and was one of the most powerful candidates for the next Pope, this time coming to Lanfang as the Pope's special envoy to urge Qin Zhiyuan to carry out the duties of Grand Master of the Templar Order.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Foreign Legion, Benedict XV continued to provide funds for Qin Zhiyuan, which helped Qin Zhiyuan through the most difficult period, and to this day, there are still more than a dozen castles and estates hanging in Qin Zhiyuan's name throughout Europe, which are Qin Zhiyuan's private property. After the establishment of Lan Fang, the scale of Benedict XV's personal assistance to Qin Zhiyuan did not expand, but in many other aspects, Benedict XV still helped Qin Zhiyuan a lot, otherwise Lan Fang would not have attracted so many Western talents to join as much as it does now, and the recognition of Catholicism is an important factor.
Qin Zhiyuan and Auerbach are old friends, aside from their social status, their personal relationship is enough to be passed on as a good story, after seeing Qin Zhiyuan, Auerbach did not mean to get up to salute, and did not even put down the wine glass in his hand.
"I was in the United States some time ago, damn it, you don't know, what kind of damn prohibition is being implemented by the Americans, but no one really enforces it, what is sold in society is a raw material that will turn into a miracle liquid as long as the right amount of water is added, the president and his advisers hide in the office and drink secretly, the smell of alcohol can be smelled standing on Pennsylvania Avenue, I bet there is brandy hidden under Harding's desk, what a group of hypocrites." Auerbach looked at the amber liquid in the wine glass, and raised his glass to Qin Zhiyuan: "It's better for you to be here, I can be free and indulge in the body, and no one will say that I misbehave." ”
It seems that Auerbach, who is getting higher and higher, is not very satisfied with his current form, which may also be the motivation to support Auerbach to continue to move forward.
The cause of Prohibition in the United States is a bit ridiculous, this is a product of the women's movement, because of serious alcoholism, there is serious domestic violence in the United States, simply put, American men drink too much and like to go home to beat their wives, of course, it may also be that women drink too much and go home and are beaten by their husbands, no matter what, Americans think that the problem of alcoholism has been serious enough to be controlled by legislation, so there is such a strange law.
Seeing this, if anyone dares to say that the United States is a country where everyone is equal, Auerbach will dare to smack him in the face.
"You drunkard, my office has been your bar since the first day you came, isn't alcohol one of the original sins?" Qin Zhiyuan was not angry, and he did not care much about the identity of Cardinal Auerbach.
Although Qin Zhiyuan was the head of the Knights Templar, it was a pity that Qin Zhiyuan didn't understand much about the doctrine, and he casually caught a clergyman, who was hundreds of times more proficient than Qin Zhiyuan.
"Who said that? Greed is, in this regard, we are all mortal. Auerbach also talked nonsense, in Qin Zhiyuan's place, Auerbach was indeed very relaxed and did not have the slightest defense.
"Well, the result you want has passed, in the next two months, two divisions will be deployed near the Middle East, and as soon as the opportunity arises, Jerusalem will belong only to Catholicism." Qin Zhiyuan reported the latest developments, and he didn't mean to be too excited, it seemed that there were more routine elements.
"Really? That's great! Wait, the opportunity will soon arise, and then the honor will belong to the Lord, and you will get the benefit. Auerbach immediately put down his glass and paced back and forth in his office.
Auerbach has been dealing with Qin Zhiyuan for a long time, according to Auerbach's understanding of Qin Zhiyuan, it is wishful thinking to use "honor" and "flowers" to envelop Qin Zhiyuan, and what can be done must be actual interests. During the time he came to Lanfang, Auerbach had conspired with Qin Zhiyuan several times, if he took Jerusalem, the honor of recovering the Holy Land would belong to Benedict XV, and what Lanfang would get would be a huge territory around Jerusalem, how much it depends on Qin Zhiyuan's ability, for this honor, Benedict XV also had a personal gift to Qin Zhiyuan, which would be transferred to Qin Zhiyuan's account before the action.
After reaching an agreement with Qin Zhiyuan, a batch of about 100 tons of gold has been deposited in the Lanfang Royal Bank, which is not quite the same as the Lanfang National Bank, mainly used to deal with Qin Zhiyuan's private account expenses, including Qin Zhiyuan's annual investment income from all over the world, Qin Zhiyuan's financial support for the Lanfang military, are all through the bank's account.
100 tons of gold is a lot of money, and at the height of the world war, the British transported their gold reserves to the United States, which amounted to only about 4,000 tons, so it seems that Benedict XV was indeed very rich.
If you think about it, you can understand that the sect that has existed for thousands of years, and there are hundreds of years in the middle that are still the "pope fathers" of those European emperors, and the strength of the Vatican is really unfathomable.
"It doesn't matter what I get, it's what you want - I'm good enough now, so what about you? I don't think you're at the top of your life right now. Qin Zhiyuan is still provoking Auerbach's ambitions.
"My friend, don't worry, I'm slowly getting closer to what I want, as long as you do your thing well, it's the greatest support for me." Auerbach tacitly picked up his glass again: "For the ideal!" ”
For the ideal!
This can be had, of course, the clergy also have ideals, and if people don't have ideals, they are no different from salted fish.
Of course, Auerbach also has ideals, the next pope is Auerbach's current goal, in the Vatican, Qin Zhiyuan can not play a big role, but out of the Vatican, Qin Zhiyuan is Auerbach's biggest Austrian aid, the greater Lan Fang's influence, Auerbach will have more chips in his hands, which is a good thing for win-win cooperation.
Just when Qin Zhiyuan and Auerbach toasted together, an untold story was happening in the palace stables.
After Giraldin entered the NSA, he had his own office in the headquarters of the NSA. But for various reasons, Girardin did not like it, and now Girardin was so soft-spoken that he could not change some of the facts, so he simply turned his office out of sight and out of mind, so Girardin moved his office to the stables of the palace.
Compared to the headquarters of the National Security Agency, the palace stables are indeed a good place, at least it is relatively safe, because in the palace, security is guaranteed, and because the stables are full of horses, these horses will definitely not betray Girardin.
Speaking of safety, there are also hidden dangers in the palace, and it is this issue that the Girardin trio is discussing.
"Zhong Yiqiu's range of activities is very wide, yesterday morning Zhong Yiqiu went to a scout camp, although it was business, but halfway, Zhong Yiqiu went to a bar called Sunset Evening, in the bar, Zhong Yiqiu and three people had contact, one of them is a frequent customer in the bar, the other is rare, the number of times to go to the bar is very small, there is a situation worthy of our attention, the frequent customer is the planning of the Japanese. At the same time, there is reason to believe that the news of our development of peripheral members in the Boy Scouts has been leaked, and there have been quite a few unfamiliar faces around the Boy Scout camps lately. "Virginia is reporting to Girardin.
Giraldine and Virginia were walking in the horse farm, as Qin Zhiyuan's "godson", Geraldine and the others could enter and leave the palace at will, and in the open area, they could avoid eavesdropping as much as possible. Regarding this wiretapping, Giraldin did not believe even the office of the headquarters of the National Security Service.
If he is the director of the National Security Bureau, Geraldin will definitely not let go of the internal monitoring of the National Security Bureau, and he will push others, Geraldin believes that Gao Hongshi will not be very kind, although there are more elements of prevention, but Giraldin still does not want to have an extra pair of eyes around him at any time.
Uh-
There is still Geraldine by his side, and by Giraldin's side, there is a little girl during this time, this little girl is nominally Giraldin's personal secretary, but in fact, even Qin Zhiyuan has heard of the little girl's name. That's right, it's Lan Zi Sakura, this little girl has graduated from McTavish's training class, according to McTavish, he has nothing to teach Lan Zi Sakura, so Lan Zi Sakura graduated early.
Zhong Yiqiu is a female official in the palace, this is one of the batch of "show girls" that Huang Bohan and they sent into the palace when Qin Zhiyuan ascended the throne, Qin Zhiyuan had no idea about these so-called "show girls", and they were originally going to be returned, but because the palace does need staff, Julie and Misha are not fully responsible for Qin Zhiyuan's daily life, so Julie made the decision to let them serve as female officials in the palace, which can be regarded as hired personnel in the palace.
These people have signed labor contracts, and both parties have the right to terminate them at any time, and Julie does not restrict them from marrying, and there will be a super large red envelope when they marry, so all along, these female officials have not made any trouble.
Girardin worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and with Qin Zhiyuan's intentional connivance, the scope of responsibility of this Ministry of Internal Affairs was indeed a bit large, and the royal palace was Girardin's first target.
