Chapter 442: The Great God of Jumping Starts in Italy

While Lin Han and Katyusha were rolling sheets in a Moscow hotel to celebrate their success in opening up another field of faith, the world was already in a state of extreme madness because of the appearance of the Heroic Ghost in Moscow, the Soviet Union.

First of all, the crazy country is actually Italy, the European country that has suffered the most from the "holy shock". Three days after the Soviet Heroic Spirits, the country came up with the idea of ordering churches across the country, whether Protestant, old, Catholic or Jewish, to erect a statue of the "Italian Heroine" in their churches for worship.

The second of the Ten Commandments of the Bible is, "Thou shalt not make an image of thyself, nor of any image of heaven or of the earth, nor of any thing under the earth or in the waters." Thou shalt not bow down to those images, nor serve them: for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God. ”

This directive issued by the Italian government in conjunction with the Holy See was undoubtedly a breach of the Bible and a betrayal of God—but he was not the first to do so, as Germany and England had done so long before him, and the English shamelessly called it the "Reformation."

The "sacred shock" of Britain and Germany was simply subversive in the field of old European thought, and the banner of Christ was strongly shaken in this shock. They were not destroyed, but they were seized by the British and German governments Nestle, and forcibly stuffed their own private goods into the "tools" of the government.

Britain and Germany had their own oracles, but in order to avoid infighting and tearing each other apart, the two sides reached a compromise on the question of "who is orthodox", and the two countries recognized each other as orthodox, although in their respective lands only their own religion was allowed to preach, but to each other's religion. It also adopted an attitude of acquiescing to its limited missionary work.

Both Britain and Germany saw the prospect of using "holy shock" to control religion and thus strengthen their rule. They call "God's apostles" nominally subservient to God, but in reality, no one knows whether God exists or not, but before God stands up and speaks. The "divine messenger" who speaks only according to the will of the ruling class and sits in the second position is equivalent to the existence of God.

No one knows whether God is aiming his eyes on the world, but everyone knows that the divine envoy is really "walking" in the world and interfering in the "war" in the world. Whose thighs you hold and whose instructions you follow are clear at a glance.

Britain and Germany, with the support of "divine envoys", have gained tremendous political benefits in the process, strengthened national cohesion, and obtained tangible and intangible benefits.

In the case of England, after the end of the war in Europe. The Royal Navy began a difficult process of revival, but it was in the process of revival. The biggest obstacle was the lack of money.

The one-year war in Europe emptied the British family, and although the army suffered few casualties and was released after the war, all the equipment was lost. The navy and the army are completely destroyed, and it takes money to rebuild. Although after the war, I made a lot of tonic by eating Dutch meat. But it only made up for the loss of being cut by China and the Soviet Union. After the construction of the George V-class battleships and the addition of several aircraft carriers, the British Treasury and the Secretary of the Navy began to worry about the next round of naval construction.

Money was the biggest problem standing in the way of the Royal Navy before its revival.

However, after the appearance of Artoria, the Admiralty Chancellor found out with joy. He no longer has to have a headache about the lack of money to build new ships.

With the call of the "divine messenger" Artoria, thousands of believers frantically untied their shy pockets and poured into donations for the construction of new ships for the navy. In just one week, the Navy received a whopping £50 million in donations from the public. By the time the donations ended a month later, the Royal Navy had received a whopping £150 million, much of which came from overseas Dominions, such as civilians in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and even a small amount from Spain and Italy, which was previously unimaginable.

Before that, the British Parliament would quarrel for an increase of 1 million pounds in naval spending, but now its role is not worthy of the words of the "divine envoy".

If the Royal Navy had doubts about Artoria's identity before this, after seeing the 150 million pounds of shipbuilding donations in the account, the entire Royal Navy almost knelt in front of Artoria and sang "You have conquered it".

Any discerning politician can see the importance of the "divine messenger" in strengthening his political rule, and the Italian army is very incompetent, but Mussolini's political vision is not too bad.

After knowing the means of obtaining the "divine messenger", Mussolini also started to think crookedly. The past three years have also been difficult for Italy.

During the European war in 1939~1940, Italians made a lot of money by selling oil and smuggling supplies for Germany as second-hand dealers. However, in the war against Greece, it was a mess, except for a large amount of military expenditure and heavy losses, it had nothing to gain at all, but owed Germany a sum of money for buying a large amount of arms from Germany during the war. In the post-war period of peace, Italy continued to suffer from economic depression, and with the revival of the British navy, the illusion of Italian domination of the Mediterranean was being shattered little by little. And after the appearance of Artoria in England, the last illusions of the Italians were completely shattered.

At this time, under the blow of the "holy shock", it was Catholicism that suffered the most. The "divine envoys" of Britain and Germany came forward and openly accused the Pope of Burning Tigan of being a "heretic" abandoned by God, and the two families also came up with a large number of various scandals of Catholicism as evidence.

In the face of the accusations of the "divine envoys," the Vatican Pope Tican's counterattack was weak, and apart from reciprocating with cannons, claiming that the "divine envoys" of Britain and Germany were disguised as demons, he could not find any effective means of counterattack -- the most effective way to prove himself was to find a "divine envoy" like Britain and Germany.

Nowadays, several large countries in the world have successively given birth to five "divine messengers" like hens laying eggs, but the Apennine Peninsula, where Italy, which claims to be the "descendants of the Romans", is like the United States of America, which has "no history" on the other side of the ocean, and has not even pulled out a piece of.

Not only the Catholic pope was anxious, but so was the king of Italy and the de facto ruler Mussolini.

Under the divine shock, the faith throughout Europe is facing a pattern of total shattering and reorganization. Britain and Germany relied on the support of divine envoys. Enclosures were expanded everywhere on the European continent. This war in the realm of consciousness is different from a war in the actual sense, and if the side cannot come up with "real money and dry goods", there will only be a one-sided and comprehensive rout.

In Italy, large and small churches, many priests have quietly followed "Artoria" and "Gabriel". Neither the Catholic Emperor nor the ruler of Italy. They all knew in their hearts that "the country must not lose its will", and if this situation continued, not only Catholicism would be finished, but Italy would also end sooner or later.

After the Soviet Union also confirmed to the world that it had a "divine messenger", the Italians, who had been pushed to the edge of the cliff by the divine impact, had no choice but to follow the example and began the work of "forging" the divine envoy.

If God does not send us oracles, then we "make it ourselves".

Back in the time of Stalin's visit to China. No one reminded that the "smart" Italians thought of a good means of "self-reliance". On the Apennine Peninsula, the most prolific are artists. With the support of Mussolini and the Catholic Church, a group of Italian artists came together and, like the Soviets, began to shape the "Italian oracle".

These talented Italian artists created a beautiful female statue of the archangel, which they later named Raphael.

Then with official and Catholic support. Mussolini decreed that churches throughout Italy must have such a statue of Ambassador Raphael next to the statue of Jesus or Madonna.

As for this false name of God. Whether the practice of erecting statues in churches at will violates the Ten Commandments of the Bible or whether it is blasphemous or not, no one cares at this time, whether it is the Pope or Mussolini -- anyway, in the past few thousand years, the three cults of Abraham have done all kinds of blasphemous and dirty things in the name of God since their founding. It's been a basket and a pile for a long time, and it's not bad for this one.

The Italians were beautiful and naïve, and they listened to the rumors put out by the Germans, thinking that they had a "long history", as long as the people had a desire for it. It is possible to obtain such a "crystallization of the will of the nation" through the means of "jumping the great gods" on a large scale, well, it should be said that it is a "divine messenger" sent by God.

It's a pity that in this world, only Lin Han, a person with the dual characteristics of a human soul and a heroic spirit's body, has the ability to "give birth" to a heroic spirit, and this premise is that the country sinks enough warships.

The problem is that Italy doesn't have it, and Lin Han doesn't want to give birth for the time being.

The obligatory erection of statues in all churches in Italy caused considerable conflict in Italy. Some devout Catholics opposed the Pope's "blasphemous" behavior, but under the violent suppression of the government and the Holy See, a group of people were locked up, and finally they were forcefully suppressed.

At this time, in Italy, there were already many churches in the divine envoy "Artoria" (mainly Anglo-Protestant) and Gabriel (mainly the church of the Arisians), and the Saphiroth (mainly Judaism, in the official German propaganda, the male Saphiroth is the two sides of the same body, and God sent him to the world to save the Jews) have already "lost their way" in the previous "holy shock" and returned to the arms of God.

As early as 1943, Jews in German-controlled areas saw that they could be spared persecution after joining the Sephiroth Religion, and they had already abandoned Jukarianism and threw themselves into the arms of Sephirothism. After the appearance of the German oracle, the vast majority of the Jewish believers were converted. Interestingly, in the bitheistic religion of Sephirothism, the worshippers of Sephiroth are pre-Jewish.

The churches belonging to all three of these strongly opposed the "religious persecution" imposed by the Italian government and the Catholic Church, and caused no small amount of bloodshed. At that time, a large number of fanatics, armed with weapons, poured into the church, clamoring for a holy war for religious beliefs and stopping the "heretical" invasion of the fallen Vatican pope.

Because of this incident, Italy, which seemed to be peaceful, faced the danger of civil war and division.

At this time, Britain and Germany also spoke with the same voice at the same time, and the two governments claimed that as God's favored nations, they had an obligation to protect God's devout believers from "heretical" persecution. At the same time, the Germans sent several Panzer Divisions to the Italian border for a demonstration of force, and the British Navy in the Mediterranean Sea also made a hostile move towards Italy. In addition to serious protests and representations to Italy, the two governments have decided to jointly impose economic sanctions on Italy.

In the past, Germany was also heavily dependent on Italian oil, but through the war in Europe, the Germans got Nigeria (in exchange for compensation from Cameroon and German West Africa). Hannah, who knew the location of Nigeria's oil fields, easily extracted oil there. Germany is no longer as heavily dependent on Libya's oil fields as it once was.

A few years ago, Britain and Germany were bitter rivals in Europe, but now they are joining forces because of common interests.

In the end, the Italian government took a step back and agreed that the churches of Artoria, Gabriel, and Sephiroth in the country did not need to be repurposed to erect a statue of Raphael, and the three parties "ended peacefully".

In the face of the "sacred impact" issued by Britain and Germany plus the joint efforts of the Soviet Union, the Italians and the Vatican Pope really have the taste of self-defeat. There is no "heroic spirit" but claims to have it (albeit hypocritically), which is already very kind of false god. Compared with the above three things, the greatest tragedy of Catholicism is that it is really unable to produce convincing "miracles" to persuade the faith-wavering people.

In the face of opponents who can produce miracles, religions without miracles will inevitably have an impact on faith. The Vatican's approach is purely to quench their thirst, but in the face of the crisis of faith caused by the increasingly serious situation of religious invasion, they will definitely die if they do not struggle, and this is simply the last resistance they have been forced into a corner.

Italy is the stronghold of Catholicism, and the Vatican Pope is still unable to keep even the basics of his old nest, and his form of mission in other regions is even worse. (To be continued......)
