Chapter 915: Confidants
Zhang Tie asked the secretary to bring this time to the intelligence department to look at the investigation report of the church elements who were hiding in Manhattan, but his face became ugly.
According to intelligence reports, Manhattan has recently been flooded with a large number of European populations, and even with the hard work of the intelligence services, there is no way to prevent church personnel from infiltrating Manhattan.
And these church members, having learned the lessons of the first two times, have made their actions more secretive. It's easy for you to find out about their existence, and the intelligence department has a lot of headaches for it.
At the same time, many of the Europeans who poured into Manhattan in the Americas were staunch church believers. It is impossible for these guys to be as careful about the religious rules of Manhattan as the Europeans who went through the two Manhattan purges.
In this way, the hidden members of the church are given an opportunity to secretly hide and develop.
Recently, intelligence services have uncovered several deliberate provocations by church adherents against the Ottoman Empire and Middle Eastern merchants. Although with the timely arrival of the omnipresent Ah San patrol police, no big conflict broke out.
However, this already speaks for itself and raises the need for vigilance.
If there was a large-scale conflict between these guys and the Ottoman Empire and Arab merchants, it would have a great impact on the development and influence of Manhattan.
The Ottoman Empire had just joined the Central Powers, and the merchants of the Arab world had just been able to come to the Song Empire.
For these merchants who can bring endless wealth to the empire, Zhang Tie is very important.
He didn't want some people to ruin the current good situation.
According to the newspaper, small groups began to emerge, and the pastors and priests who had been re-dispatched by the Church were once again establishing their channels in the working quarters of Europe. And enveloped some believers.
Sensing the previous two purges, the actions of these small groups were so secretive that ordinary people could not inquire about their internal situation at all.
Also, it is very difficult to join these small groups.
It can be said that these groups have become more cautious than their predecessors, and they have to constantly examine a person before they can accept him into the outer circle.
It's not the same as before, but everyone can bathe in the glory of the Lord.
So. It is not so easy for the members of the Ministry of Intelligence, as well as the members of the peripheral organizations supported by the intelligence services, to enter the small groups that have been re-established by these churches.
For such a long time, there has not been a single undercover agent who has been able to successfully break into these small group organizations.
However, the intelligence has shown that these small groups are not dealt with in a timely manner and allowed to grow larger. Then the future will definitely bring great damage and impact to the developing city of Manhattan.
In this regard, how could Zhang Tie not know the way.
It's just that. The intelligence department now has no way to contact the internal core of these groups, so there is no way for him to deal with these people.
You can't drive these European laborers out of the Song Empire or kill them.
After all. The development of Manhattan here is inseparable from these 'cheap' European laborers. Without them, there would be all the manual labor in Manhattan and some jobs that Chinese and Native Americans would not want to do. No one did it.
Thanks to the influx of European laborers, Manhattan is like dirty, tiring work. That's why people are willing to do it.
Dumping garbage, digging out manure, rickshaw pullers, wharf workers...... Someone always has to do this work.
Zhang Tie didn't want to let the citizens of Chinese descent do such a lowly thing.
At the beginning, Zhao Hongyu said it well for His Royal Highness, since God let him come to this era, and gave him such a cheat against the sky.
Then, it is necessary for him to let the Chinese people stand at the top of the world from now on.
Therefore, the Song Empire must ensure the interests of Chinese people in the country, and there can be policies for everyone to enjoy.
In this regard, Zhang Tie, Song Hu and Wang Shan, including Professor Liu, who joined later, all agree with this very much.
Since everyone agrees, then it is necessary to let the Chinese people enjoy such a policy, and they must not let the Chinese people do that kind of work.
However, the Chinese could not do it, the Indians were not interested, and the black slaves needed to go to farming. In this way, there will always be someone to fill this part of the labor gap.
The Europeans became the only option.
But the Europeans, though cheap, and the strength they have, are able to endure this suffering.
However, as these Europeans came to work and live in Manhattan, it also brought a lot of trouble to Manhattan.
That is, when these Europeans came to Manhattan, they brought their faith to the Americas.
This is what makes Zhang Tie the most annoying and annoying.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness had the foresight to deal with it, and he had already had a countermeasure to this.
However, His Highness's countermeasures and plans, due to the relationship of time, cannot be of much use for the time being.
After all, that belief among Europeans has been popular for almost hundreds of years. The belief of the Song Empire in the Americas, which was created by the Song Empire in order to oppose the church, has only been propagated for a year and a half.
Therefore, there is no way to compare the size or name of the church with the Europeans.
Fortunately, the 'interception of religion' drummed up by the Song Empire, after Zhao Hongyu and others used cross-era technological products, also attracted and conquered many people to join.
As long as time passes, then the Song Empire will definitely have the capital to confront the church.
But it all takes time.
This is exactly what the Song Empire lacked.
Because the Americas are growing very fast, and the explosion of wealth is very eye-catching.
Nowadays, with the spread of merchant ships, the whole European continent and the Arab world know that there is a rich country on the other side of the distant sea.
This caused the church to watch.
For the church, the American continent is like a sweet piece of cake. And the wealth of the Song Empire was also prepared for the church.
In order to seek the wealth of the Song Empire, the church intends to use the old method, that is, the method of brainwashing with the church. Come and make the people of the Song Empire believe in them, and then plunder the wealth of the Song Empire.
Moreover, many people in Europe have come to Manhattan, and they are believers in the church.
Therefore, the church thinks that they still have a good chance on the American side.
Originally, the church thought that relying on these Europeans living in Manhattan would be able to easily open up the situation on the side of the Song Empire.
After all, the hundreds of thousands of Europeans here in Manhattan, they will definitely follow those priests and priests, right?
But in fact. The events in the Americas poured cold water on the church's top brass and made them suddenly sober up.
First of all, the attitude of the Americas towards the church is very resistant.
The Song Empire did not intend to open up the issue of religious belief at all, and it was impossible to talk about it.
At the same time, the Europeans who left Europe and came to the Americas, despite the fact that they had been in Europe for the same kind of church, seemed to be extremely religious.
But. The priests and priests who came to the Song Empire in the Americas found that the minds of these Europeans were much more enlightened than they were in Europe.
Previously in Europe. When they see pastors and priests, they are very humble.
But here, they will all leave them without color.
This kind of gap is very accustomed to the priests and pastors. At the same time, feel angry.
After some understanding, these people learned what to do with the European people living in the Americas. There will be such a reaction and attitude towards them.
The reason is simple, everyone is not a fool.
When I was in Europe, because I was in such an environment, we couldn't live if we didn't show humility.
The members of the Church in Europe, the spies, and the people of the Inquisition were not good.
But here in the Americas, they don't have to worry about these problems at all, do they?
Besides, all the Europeans who came to the Americas did not intend to go to Europe.
Therefore, there is no need to continue to hide your attitude.
At the same time, many of these European people have left their families and families to come to the Americas because of the church.
Such people also account for a significant number of Europeans living in Manhattan.
The Church has launched various so-called devotion campaigns in Europe, as well as the campaign to eradicate witches, and indulgences, but the homes of these victims have been ruined and the people have been miserable.
In many families, people have died at the hands of the church.
And the charges are often very bizarre.
In fact, behind this is nothing more than the church's accumulation of wealth and the satisfaction of its own private desires.
Therefore, for this reason, he fled Europe and came to the American continent to live again. And they have enjoyed a free life and see the hope of a happy life, how can they have a good face for the members of the church?
The church members of the first two times also spent a lot of experience to figure out such a situation.
For the former Europeans, who have completely abandoned Europe and the Church, it is useless to let the pastors and priests speak with lotus flowers.
Of course, in addition to the above people, there are also many Europeans living in Manhattan in the Americas, who are the kind of guys who have been brainwashed and brainwashed.
They are very religious in their faith in the church.
Even after two purges, they still exist with the continuous influx of Europeans.
After carefully considering the current situation, Zhang Tie's heart was indescribably depressed. (To be continued......)
