At 7:30 p.m., Mavi walked out of the church with Yunia and came to the Kremlin gates, followed by the source, Daniel, and ....

Dino.

At the beginning, Ma Wei didn't plan to let Dino attend this dinner, but he repeatedly asked for it, and the reason was also very good, the church was going to expand its business in the future, how could it do without enough contacts?

Although the Church of Truth brand is prominent enough, in some things, Dino still thinks that it is right to get acquainted with a few more officials and generals.

"I'm not here to get any benefit from them, but I'm afraid that they will embarrass us!" After the soldiers at the gate verified their identities, Dino followed Ma Wei and walked towards the Kremlin, and said confidently: "In terms of business, many problems are in the gray area of whether they can be operated or not, for example, when I open a winery, people insist that my hygiene problems are not up to standard, and the wine produced does not meet the food safety conditions, what can you do with him?" ”

"Your mind is still stuck in the days when you were a grocer." Ma Wei said: "The Church of Truth has developed to this day, and it has received the support of Katerina, didn't she also grant you a special pass? With it, no one will dare to embarrass you. ”

"That being said, but that special pass was approved for me alone, and when the church runs its business in the future, I don't know what kind of difficulties it will encounter."

The source sneered and said, "Who dare! Your worries are completely unnecessary, if Katerina can sit on the throne, then the Church of Truth is the state religion, who dares to embarrass the state religion? ”

"What the hell are you two talking about?" Ma Wei suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at them: "Even if it is the business of the church, it must meet the legal standards, it doesn't mean that we, as the state religion, don't care about the provisions and rules of the law!" The church can do business, but the quality of the goods it produces must be passable, and the price must be low to meet the basic needs of the people, and the profit must be second only to these two! Don't understand? ”

"I just said that we wouldn't be embarrassed, and I didn't say that we wanted to be black-hearted businessmen...."

Listening to Ma Wei's words, Dino was silent, of course he knew that it was very important to produce goods with good quality, but goods of too good quality would not be damaged for decades, and customers would not repurchase, how could the producer maintain it?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, because he knew in his heart that if he told Ma Wei about this, Ma Wei would definitely be furious.

At the end of the day, Dino is thinking about making a profit for the church, while Mavi is thinking....

It's not just about making money.

Walking through the narrow courtyard road, Ma Wei and his family came to the Great Kremlin, which is the core area of the Kremlin, similar to the Winter Palace and the Palace of Forgotten Sorrows, which is one of the most important buildings in the Kremlin area and is also Katerina's residence.

The Kremlin's houses are in a more dilapidated state, and after repairs, they barely reach the standard of use, and today's dinner is in the palace where Katerina lives.

At night, the Grand Kremlin was resplendent with glittering lights, and countless waiters and maids passed through the corridors, while Katerina's personal maid, Marusa, stood at the door.

"Father Mavi, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me..."

Marusa lifted the corner of her skirt, tapped the tip of her right foot on the ground, and after saluting gracefully, she led Mavi and the others through the labyrinthine palace, where the luxury and solemnity were breathtaking, even the hanging columns of the enclosure were plated with gold, and the tall vaulted dome was carved with exquisite figures, even if it was looted and destroyed, it still showed the former glory of the Romanov Kingdom.

The source looked at an empty round table and said, "The treasure that can be placed here must be priceless.....

"If Your Excellency likes it, I can ask His Highness to give you one as a gift in the future." Marusa chuckled softly: "The last thing the Kremlin lacks is these things. ”

"Yes, yes, if Her Highness Katerina is willing to send me....."

In Ma Wei's slanted eyes, the voice of the communication became quieter: "Forget it, I still don't want it." ”

Marusa always maintained an elegant smile on her face, she walked to a large gate, pushed open the small door next to it, motioned for Mavi and the others to wait outside, walked in by herself, bowed deeply to the officials and generals gathered in the hall, and said, "Church of Truth, Mavi Enders has arrived." ”

The hall quickly fell silent, and the waiters standing on both sides of the door stepped forward to open the heavy front door.

Squeak....

The door slowly opened, and such a grand presence Mavi had only enjoyed once three years ago, when he returned to the Kingdom of Windsor to be summoned by King Rhodes IV.

At that time, he was just an ordinary naval lieutenant, and now....

has become a veritable big shot.

Just one name is enough to quiet those high-ranking officials and generals in the hall.

Mavi took Yunia's small hand, raised her feet and walked into the hall, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, her right hand pressed her chest, and bowed slightly: "Praise the goddess." ”

The atmosphere in the hall was silent, no one spoke, Dino and the communication looked a little nervous, as if they had not experienced this kind of formation, but Daniel yawned, looking indifferent.

"Father Mavi...."

In the crowd, Katerina, who was wearing a dark blue dress and a diamond necklace, put down her wine glass and walked over: "Thank you for accepting my invitation to today's dinner." ”

"I'm honestly afraid, and I can't thank you." Mavi responded.

After Katerina made her statement, the hall immediately burst into deafening applause, the silent and oppressive atmosphere disappeared, the officials and generals had smiles on their faces, the melodious music sounded, and the celebration banquet continued.

"Come with me, I'm going to introduce you to these officials." Katerina whispered.

Following Katerina, Mavi and the others met with the Fifth Rank Minister, Senator Sadov, who was in charge of finance, the Fifth Rank Minister, Senator Maynard, who was in charge of military affairs, and other officials at all levels, including Lemontov, who was in charge of civil affairs.

Because of the "Official Ranks" promulgated by Peter the Great, the officials of the Romanov Kingdom had their own special ranks, one to fourteen, and were divided into three categories: military, civilian, and court positions, which were regarded as the bureaucratic system of the kingdom.

The successor, Paul I, continued this tradition, as did Katerina.

Like Bodlinov, he belonged to the rank of captain, the same rank as the honorary senator of the ninth rank, and because he was a guard, he belonged to the palace position, and was directly under the orders of Katerina.

Looking at these gorgeously dressed officials in beaver fur coats, Ma Wei didn't have a smile on his face at all, just nodded politely, which was regarded as a greeting.

As if they were not aware of Mavi's indifference, these officials were full of smiles, and their words were full of respect, and their mouths were full of honorifics that were unique to the Pope.

"I know what you're thinking."

As she walked towards the next officer, Katerina whispered, "Do you think in your heart that there is no difference between me and Paul I?" ”

“.......”

"It's understandable that you would think so, because I need the help of these officials at the moment, so I can only tolerate them for the time being." Katerina said: "Although I am the Grand Duke of Mosk, this is only a false name, and if I cannot give these officials substantial benefits, why should they follow me?" My father's will is only valid for those generals who follow him in the northern and southern wars, and for these civilian officials who are soaked in a money jar..... Nothing works. ”

"I'm sure you're not that kind of person, Your Highness." Ma Wei said.

"Look, Father, sooner or later, I will use the strongest means to eradicate the evils of the Romanov Kingdom and bring this country back to the top."

As she spoke, Katerina smiled and raised her glass and said to a mustachioed officer who came over, "Ohar, this is Father Mavi, Father, this is Senate Secretary Ohar." ”

"Your Highness, Father...."The mustachioed Ohar Mo imitated Mavi's movements, pressed his palms to his chest, performed the ritual of prayer of the Church of Truth, and said with a smile: "It is a joy to be able to win the war, and I believe that under the leadership of Your Highness and Father Priest, the Romanov Kingdom will definitely usher in its own time." ”

After a brief conversation, O'Haar turned to leave, the smile on Katerina's face disappeared, and she looked at Makarov, Goffman and others not far away: "Come here." ”

Makarov took a sip of the liquor in his glass, strode forward, and saluted Katerina, ignoring Mavi, who was obviously upset by Mavi's previous refusal to carry out an armed coup.

The children of Goffman, Ruorujin and other military nobles did not have much resentment towards Ma Wei, and greeted him very politely.

Seeing Makarov's rude behavior, Katerina frowned slightly: "Makarov, have you forgotten what I told you before?" ”

With a twitch of the corners of his mouth, Makarov took a deep breath and nodded to Mavi, still not using the honorific: "Hello Father." ”

"Your Excellency is really a general loyal to the royal family, this is very good, Her Royal Highness Katerina will definitely be able to achieve something with your help." Ma Wei said with a smile.

"Humph!" Makarov still didn't have a good face.

Onufri and Ravel, who had been saved by Edward, had the heart to persuade each other, but they couldn't stand at any end, so they could only stop and be in a hurry.

"I'm here to clear up your misunderstanding of me." Mavi said, "I have brought a complete plan of action, but these matters are confidential and can only be told to absolutely loyal companions, Her Highness Katerina.... After dinner, please prepare a quiet room. ”

"Okay." Katerina nodded, and then looked at Makarov: "You are hostile to Father Mavi, you are hostile to me, you have to distinguish the situation, Makarov." ”

Makarov's face changed, he hesitated for a while, picked up a bottle of spirits from the tray of the passing waiter, and said to Mavi: "As long as you come up with a plan that can help His Highness ascend to the throne and fulfill His Majesty's will, let me do anything.... I'll do it first for respect. ”

After speaking, Makarov raised his head and poured a full bottle of liquor into his stomach in front of Mavi, which attracted applause from the surrounding generals.

To be honest, Mavi doesn't hate people like Makarov, although the other party is straight, but he doesn't have any dirty and obscure thoughts, and he is definitely a good person compared to a pickled politician.

When he first served in the Royal Navy, most of the sailors on the ship were also Makarov's cheerful personality.

"Drinking alcohol makes me lose my judgment, so I've quit drinking." Ma Wei said: "I don't think Your Excellency wants me to drink bad things, so save this bottle of wine until the day of victory." ”

"No problem!" Makarov agreed.

At 10 o'clock, the banquet was over, the officials left the Kremlin drunk, the generals went out and went around and returned, and Katerina led them upstairs to the Georgiev Hall, where it ......

Ma Wei and the others have been waiting for a long time.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Ma Wei's expression was serious, his eyes swept over the faces of Onufri, Rafur and other generals standing on both sides of the hall, and said in a deep voice:

"Although we lost a chance, there are better opportunities waiting for us!"

"Next, we at the Church of Truth will help Her Highness Katerina, overthrow the decaying old era, and let the light of the truth..."

"Shine on Romanov!"
