Chapter 1140: Transaction Negotiations
“...... Adam, tell me, why didn't I know until now, after Ansel Rowe started to arrest someone!?"
Latinia, with a face like frost, sat sideways in a chair, her index finger tapping on the low table beside her, her sharp gaze sweeping over all the clergy standing in front of her, and finally resting on the Pope of the Church.
"My lord, you can't do everything in every detail, or else wouldn't our existence be useless?"
The old Pope sighed and then explained in a low voice: "I told them not to tell you about this, but even we didn't expect that Ansel Rowe would do it so quickly...... Originally, I was going to have a video conference with them, but before I could do it, Ansel Rowe had already started. ”
After listening to the Pope's explanation, Latinia's mouth pursed into a straight line, and her eyebrows softened slightly.
The rest of the cardinals kept their heads bowed and silent, because it was best to leave the matter to the Pope at such times.
It's been a long time since they've seen the goddess they believe in look so angry, but it's understandable, after all, it was their wrong decision, a step late, that caused the Duke of Rowe and the priest of the Church of Fortune in Gordon to be caught.
Ansel Rowe has torn his face by doing so, since the Church of Fortune has reformed, as time has passed, more and more businessmen have chosen to do business in the Church of Wealth, but now the Duke of Rowe and the priesthood of the Church of Fortune in Gordon have been arrested, and the merchants who need to handle business have nowhere to go.
This can have a significant impact on local merchants and chambers of commerce, as well as those who are waiting for funding elsewhere.
With the gradual deepening of the influence of the business and trade services of the Church of Fortune on all parts of society, especially on many businessmen and chambers of commerce, once the Church of Fortune in a place disappears abruptly, it is very likely to cause a series of 'capital chain breakage' phenomenon.
Seeing that the goddess of wealth looked soothing, the old pope immediately touched his chest with his hand and knelt down on one knee, "My lord, I will immediately go and have a video call with Ansel Rowe next, and strive to let him release the local priesthood as soon as possible." At the same time, I will also actively deal with the next shock, please rest assured, we will definitely deal with these problems!"
"Rest assured, my lord," said the cardinals, who were standing behind the Pope, knelt down and said in unison.
Glancing over these people again, Latinia exhaled, "I await good news from you. ”
The 'good news' means that the deity doesn't want to hear any bad news!
"Yes, my lord!"
............
"Adam Dani. Prime Minister Ansel Rowe of the Commonwealth of Commerce of Moore leaned back on the top leather office chair produced by the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, and looked at the old man on the other side of the screen with a blank expression, "Before I and my father were born, you were already the Pope of the Church of Wealth, and I heard my father say that you baptized me when I was born. Honorable as you, what do you want me to do now?"
"Duke Ansel Rowe, I am looking for you this time in the hope that you will be able to release our priesthood. The old pope lowered his eyebrows, as if he didn't hear Prime Minister Rowe's sarcasm, and said indifferently.
Then, as expected, the corners of Prime Minister Rowe's mouth hooked up as the old Pope had expected, and he sneered: "Ha! Your Excellency, are you joking?"
The fat right hand patted the armrest, and the fingers as thick as white radish rubbed on it, Prime Minister Luo Wei's chin was slightly raised, and he sneered: "If it were in normal times, I wouldn't have been able to arrest your people without evidence, but at such a time, you still want to tear this country apart?
"That's not what our people did. The Pope replied calmly.
"Of course it wasn't your people who did it!" Prime Minister Luo Wei glared and gritted his teeth, "That's what you hired someone to do!"
The old pope was silent for a moment, "...... We have stopped planning. ”
Grabbing the armrests with both hands, Prime Minister Luo Wei leaned forward, pressed his fierce face in front of the camera, and asked, "So that means you did this before?"
"Yes, it did. The Pope nodded calmly.
After getting the answer, Luo Weishou was silent on the contrary and did not continue to ask questions.
His heavy body pressed back into his chair, and he silently looked at the old man on the screen, his index finger slowly rubbing against the smooth armrest.
He didn't quite understand why this old guy would answer his question head-on, if it had been before, this old thing would never have answered his kind of question.
Is it for him to release the clergy who have been imprisoned?
No, if he knew these things, it would only make him hate them even more.
What kind of confidence does this old guy have......
The two looked at each other silently from a distance, and the old Pope was very calm, because he knew that even if the nobles of Moore tore their faces with them, it would be impossible to torture those clergy.
But Prime Minister Rowe could no longer endure such silence, he frowned and shouted: "Your Excellency, if there is something to say, I am busy!"
"I have an arms business from the Duchy of the Winds of Sorrow. The old Pope shook his head slightly, "Originally, this was a technical support, but unfortunately, our relationship seems to have deteriorated. ”
Ansel Rowe widened, his fingers tightened, and he clenched the armrest.
"Arms deal?" he repeated in a low voice.
The Pope on the other side of the screen bowed slightly, "It can equip a legion's 'rifle', which you often call 'repeating muskets', but it is more technologically advanced, and with a little training, your soldiers can use it." ”
He's probably not going to lie, so it's true?
Then, the old Pope said another clueless sentence: "The Church of Wealth and the Principality of the Howling Wind are firmly bound together, one is prosperous and the other is lost." ”
After hearing this, Ansel Rowe took a deep breath and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
"Your words...... Is it true?" his right hand covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression at this time.
The old Pope nodded again, "Yes, this was supposed to be a technical support. ”。
From the beginning, he was not afraid that Ansel Rowe knew about their plan, which had been carried out to the point where it was almost universally known, but there was no definite evidence for the nobles to grasp.
It would be useless for Ansel Rowe to know these things from his mouth, because it was no longer possible for the great nobleman of Moore to deal with the Church of Fortune and the Business Alliance.
After pondering for a long time, Prime Minister Luo Wei put down his hand, frowned and asked, "If I let them go, what will I get?"
"Double the guns and the offer to buy bullets at half price. As he spoke, a smile crossed the old Pope's lips.
"What about the process of making bullets?" Ansel Rowe asked urgently, frowning deeply.
The old Pope shook his head again, "Sorry, it's classified. ”
Looking at the smile on his face, Prime Minister Luo Wei twitched the corners of his eyes and clenched his fists, but he didn't have a seizure.
“...... "I'll let them go, but we can't wait that long for the first batch of munitions to arrive as soon as possible!"
"There is one of our cargo conveyors in the border city-states of the Principality of Eagles, and the first shipments will soon arrive in your territory. ”
As he spoke, the old pope touched his chest with his hand and bowed slightly, "Then, I wish you all the best, and 'wealth is abundant'." ”
Watching the phantom disappear into the sky above the phone, Ansel Rowe was still staring at the area, as if the image of the hateful old thing was still there.
A punch slammed the armrest, "!"
