Chapter 111: Fire!
In this world, there are not many things that cannot be solved by adding money.
If there is, it must not have been added enough.
Let's take an example that Chinese people are familiar with. Why do you think that most of the time, the Chinese civilization is often beaten by the sheep herding in the north?
Quite simply, in most cases, there is no money.
If you want to be able to resist 800 cavalry, you need an equal 800 cavalry, or 8,000 fine-armored foot soldiers. These goods are at least 4 taels of polished rice, 2 taels of meat, and 2 taels of vegetables per day. In ancient times, the loss rate of general material replenishment reached more than 50 percent, and if it was directly pulled to Mobei, which is now the boundary of northeast China, the material loss rate was as high as 90%.
What is the concept?
You take a hundred yuan to go to the labor army, and when you get to the front, there are only ten dollars left.
If someone gives you a hundred, you think that this person is really my good father-in-law; He gives you ten yuan, you will only think that this product is not making fun of Lao Tzu?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to save money after Liu Bang's death and Emperor Wen's return to the throne, saved three generations of monarchs, and then emptied ninety percent of the treasury, and the population dropped from more than 50 million to more than 13 million, which initially kicked out the Xiongnu from the actual controller of the Western Regions.
In the end, it was dragged out until Emperor Xuan came to power, and it was almost two dynasties from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
That's no money.
What do you mean by that? If my big man grows crops in his meow field three times a year, and the yield per mu is 1,500 catties each time, Huns? What Huns? I directly chiseled through the entire Western Regions and smashed Rome to you more than 500 years in advance, believe it or not?
So far, as long as the money is enough, let alone reloading a cannonball, you will give the Pope Hall a shot, then we mafia will also pat our chests and promise to settle it for you.
Just kidding, although this place has an excuse to be warned, who would want a small place that can't produce oil at all?
As long as you don't die to get a warship, or buy a mushroom egg to play with, you can send half of the council away at once, and Italy won't care about the rest.
Even if you don't move the speaker and send away a random congressman, as long as the money is enough, Italy will not care about you.
The main thing is that as long as you give money, I Italy is a land of lawlessness.
Aside from the fact that the tax points are much higher than in some of the archipelagos, it is indeed a paradise for the lawless.
In his Latin pronunciation, Shang Di ripped through the microphone of the car's own megaphone and spat out words as cold as ice.
"I'm here for one purpose. Hand over Anshey. I couldn't see her for ten minutes, so I attacked. Then he pointed to the tens of thousands of believers in front of him, but seemed to be boundless, and said, "It has nothing to do with you ordinary believers. I'll give you one last chance to go. If you stand in front of the cathedral again, you will live forever with this church. ”
Fanatical believers are probably not afraid of death, and Emperor Shang did not expect to be able to drive everyone away.
Killing a believer or something, there is no psychological burden for Emperor Shang.
Send them all away, and Emperor Shang will not have them.
Even the aftermath is very good, Saint Sophia kicked his heel, and a big cross in the sky with golden light smashed on the ground, so I asked you if you would like to worship it.
He uses only modern weapons for deterrence.
The deterrent power of this thing is more intuitive than anything else.
Just give people a chance to show the compassion of boredom.
Will the Vatican Church hand over Anxue as Emperor Shang said? Emperor Shang felt that this was unlikely. If the guns could be brought to their knees by simply putting them in front of the Vatican, then the face of the church would have been slapped in the face by Emperor Shang turning over and over with shoes made of iron nails.
The nearly 10,000 believers in the square looked at the guy brought by Emperor Shang and didn't look like a fake, and felt that Emperor Shang was only in his twenties, and a young man of this age was not light or heavy, and in principle, it was unreasonable. If you really get a handful of gunpowder in your face, then there is no place to cry out. So about 2,000 people left.
The rest are people who have absolute confidence in the safety of the Vatican, as well as fanatics.
Emperor Shang's eyes became more and more cold.
"Repeat it one last time, hand over Anxueyi."
No one made a sound. No one was silent. Not even a single receptionist. In other words, the masters inside felt that Emperor Shang and Saint Sophia had no value in hospitality.
Many believers looked at Emperor Shang like a joke. Publicly threatening the Vatican Church? It's been a joke that hasn't been told for years. No one can afford to take that responsibility.
"Well, don't blame me."
Emperor Shang stretched out his right hand, "Listen to my order and fire." ”
The sound of the cannon did not sound for the time being, but the voice of the armored commander with a hint of surprise was heard.
"What a fight? It's not something that can be settled by just giving some money. At least most of Europe and the Americas have no place for you. ”
"Hit!" Emperor Shang repeated, "Could it be that Mafia has collected money and doesn't want to do things?" ”
"I'm not convinced. All members, fire! ”
There are really few people in the Vatican who will have weapons except for the guards, and no one would think that to occupy this small place where even a plane can't fly will be infamous as believers all over the world, so except for the guards who prevent the Pope from being assassinated, not many people will carry guns, and even the guards with guns are not very advanced in their weapons.
They earn only one agile and are selected from mercenary-rich Switzerland.
Who would have thought that Emperor Shang, who actually does not belong to any force and wants to retreat when he goes crazy, would come directly to the Vatican to force the palace?
Caught off guard, the Council of Presbyterians, who did not have many heavy weapons at all, and a series of high-ranking clergy, retreated to the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral with guns that had long been outdated for an unknown period of time for a pitiful defense.
But everyone knows that this is weaker than paper.
A smoothbore gun with a history of almost 300 years, you don't think your small lead bullet can have the effect of even a hole in the armor, right?
The rest of the ordinary believers are even more untouched. In this most religious and "one of the closest places to God", how could anyone carry a weapon, even a small fruit knife, have to think twice. Not to mention thermal weapons. So ordinary believers didn't even have a gun, and Emperor Shang ordered to open fire, which was caught off guard and incredulous.
At the moment when the artillery of the armored car roared, the believers who had blocked the entrance to St. Paul's Cathedral were dumbfounded. They can't even believe it's true. Many people thought it was a bluff even if they heard the sound of artillery, but when someone was actually torn apart by heavy fire, even a piece of iron that splashed left some of them unable to find their heads, the screams followed.
The people that Emperor Shang found were all genuine goods without pretense, and they were extremely powerful.
The Italian mafia does business, and it is one of the best in conscience.
