Expedition to Europe

Jerusalem is a very magical place. Two of the three major sects in the world believe that this is their holy land. Another one that I have to mention is Judaism. The Jews believe that Jerusalem is also their holy land.

Since he has a Catholic identity, it is only natural for Qin Zhiyuan to intervene in the Middle East in the name of Catholicism.

Of course, judging from the current situation, it is not easy for Qin Zhiyuan to intervene in the Middle East. After all, Palestine is under the control of the British, and Qin Zhiyuan cannot get around the British anyway if he wants to intervene.

Qin Zhiyuan did not need to worry about this issue. After the meeting, Qin Zhiyuan returned to Black Swan Castle, and Auerbach was waiting for Qin Zhiyuan.

Auerbach, who achieved great success in Lanfang, was highly regarded after returning to the Vatican and became one of the most powerful candidates for the next pope. This time he came to Lanfang as the pope's special envoy to urge Qin Zhiyuan to visit the temple. The duties of the Grand Master of the Order.

Of course, there are rights with obligations. At the beginning of the establishment of the Foreign Legion, Benedict XV continued to provide funds for Qin Zhiyuan, which helped Qin Zhiyuan through the most difficult period. To this day, there are still more than a dozen ancient monuments across Europe. The castle and manor are in Qin Zhiyuan's name, and they are Qin Zhiyuan's private property. After the establishment of Lanfang, the scale of Benedict XV's personal assistance to Qin Zhiyuan did not expand, but in many other aspects, Benedict XV still helped Qin Zhiyuan a lot, otherwise Lanfang would not be as attractive as it is now. Many Western talents joined, and Catholic recognition was an important factor.

Qin Zhiyuan and Auerbach are old friends. Regardless of their social status, their personal relationship is enough to become a good story. After meeting Qin Zhiyuan, Auerbach had no intention of getting up to greet him, and he did not even put down the wine glass in his hand. .

"I was in the United States some time ago. Damn it, you don't know. Americans are promoting some damn alcohol prohibition, but no one is really enforcing it. What is sold in society is that as long as the right amount of water is added, it will become a The ingredients for the magical liquid that the president and his advisers drank secretly while hiding in their offices, and the smell of alcohol stood at Pennsylvania State University You can smell it on the street. I bet there is brandy hidden under Harding's desk. What a bunch of hypocritical people." Auerbach looked at the amber liquid in the wine glass with great joy, and raised his glass to Qin Zhiyuan: " It’s better to be here, I can be free and indulge in my body, and no one will accuse me of misbehavior.”

It seems that Auerbach, whose position is getting higher and higher, is not very satisfied with the current situation, which may also be the driving force for Auerbach to move forward.

The origin of Prohibition in the United States is a bit ridiculous. It is a product of the women's movement. Due to severe alcoholism, serious domestic violence has occurred in the United States. To put it simply, American men like to go home and beat their wives when they drink too much. Of course, it may also be because women drink too much. I was beaten by my husband when I got home. No matter what, Americans believed that the problem of alcoholism was serious enough to require legislation to control, so such a weird law came into being.

Seeing this, if anyone dares to say that the United States is a country where everyone is equal, Auerbach will dare to spit in his face.

"You drunkard, my office has become your bar from the first day you came here. Isn't drinking one of the original sins?" Qin Zhiyuan was not angry, and he did not care much about the identity of Red Archbishop Auerbach.

Although Qin Zhiyuan is the leader of the Knights Templar, unfortunately, Qin Zhiyuan does not understand much about doctrine. If he picks up a clergyman at random, he will be hundreds of times more proficient than Qin Zhiyuan.

"Who said that? Greed is the one. In this regard, we are all mortals." Auerbach also talked casually. In Qin Zhiyuan's place, Auerbach was indeed very relaxed and unprepared.

"Okay, the result you want has been passed. In the next two months, two divisions will be deployed near the Middle East. As long as the opportunity arises, Jerusalem will only belong to the Catholic Church." Qin Zhiyuan reported the latest progress, also It doesn't mean to be too excited, it seems to be more of a routine.

"Really? That's great! Just wait, the opportunity will appear soon. Then the honor will belong to the Lord, and what you will get will be benefits." Auerbach immediately put down the wine glass in his hand and stood in the office Pacing back and forth.

Auerbach has been dealing with Qin Zhiyuan for a long time. According to Auerbach's understanding of Qin Zhiyuan, it is wishful thinking to win over Qin Zhiyuan with "honors" and "flowers". What can be done must be practical. Benefit. During the time he came to Lanfang, Auerbach had already conspired with Qin Zhiyuan several times. If Jerusalem is captured, the honor of recovering the Holy Land will belong to Benedict XV. What Lanfang will get will be the huge territory around Jerusalem. Specifically, How much depends on Qin Zhiyuan's ability. For this honor, Benedict XV also made a private gift to Qin Zhiyuan. This private gift will be transferred to Qin Zhiyuan's account before taking action.

It is not appropriate to use "deposit" to express it. This money will not go into the accounts of banks with Western background in any case. After reaching an agreement with Qin Zhiyuan, a batch of about one hundred tons of gold has been deposited in Lanzhou. Fang Royal Bank, this bank is different from Lanfang National Bank. It is mainly used to handle Qin Zhiyuan’s personal account expenses, including Qin Zhiyuan’s annual investment income from all over the world, and Qin Zhiyuan’s financial support for Lanfang’s military. Go to this bank account.

One hundred tons of gold is a big number. You must know that when the world war was at its most dangerous, the British transported their gold reserves to the United States, and the total was only about 4,000 tons. It seems that Benedict XV is indeed very rich. money.

If you think about it, you can understand that the sect has existed for thousands of years, and for hundreds of years in the middle, it was the "Pope Father" of European emperors. The strength of the Vatican is really unfathomable.

"It doesn't matter what I get, the key is what you want - I have done well enough now, what about you? I don't think you have reached the peak of your life now." Qin Zhiyuan is still provoking Auerbach's ambitions .

"My friend, don't worry, I'm slowly getting closer to what I want. As long as you do your job well, it's my greatest support." Auerbach tacitly understood and picked up the glass again: "For the ideal! "

For the ideal!

This is possible. Of course clergymen also have ideals. If people don’t have ideals, they are no different from salted fish.

Of course Auerbach also has ideals. The next pope is Auerbach’s current goal. In the Vatican, Qin Zhiyuan can play a small role, but outside the Vatican, Qin Zhiyuan is Auerbach’s biggest supporter. Lan Fang The greater his influence, the more chips Auerbach will have in his hands. This is a good thing for win-win cooperation.

While Qin Zhiyuan and Auerbach were toasting together, unknown stories were happening in the palace stables.

After Girardine entered the National Security Agency, he had his own office within the NSA headquarters. But for various reasons, Girardine didn't like it there. Nowadays, Girardine is soft-spoken and can't change certain facts. So he simply moved his office out of sight and out of mind. In the stables of the palace.

Compared with the National Security Agency headquarters, the palace stables are indeed a better place. At least it is safer here, because in the palace, safety is guaranteed, and because the stables are full of horses, these horses will never betray Girardine.

Speaking of safety and security, there are also hidden dangers in the palace, and this is what the Girardine trio are discussing.

"Zhong Yiqiu has a wide range of activities. Yesterday morning, Zhong Yiqiu went to the Boy Scout camp. Although it was for business, on the way, Zhong Yiqiu went to a bar called Sunset Wanzhao. In the bar, Zhong Yiqiu had contact with three people. Among them One is a regular at the bar, the other is a rare bar-goer. There are very few times, but there is one situation that deserves our attention. The regular visitor is a Japanese person in the planning. At the same time, we have reason to believe that the news about our development of peripheral members in the Boy Scouts has been leaked. The strange faces that have appeared around the Boy Scout camp recently are really bad. Quite a bit." Virginia was reporting to Girardine.

Geraldine and Virginia were taking a walk in the racecourse. As Qin Zhiyuan's "godson", Geraldine and the others could enter and leave the palace at will, and they could avoid eavesdropping in open areas. Girardine didn't even believe the NSA headquarters office about the wiretap.

If he were the director of the National Security Agency, Girardin would never let go of the internal monitoring of the National Security Agency and would recommend others by himself. Girardin believed that Gao Hongshi would not be very kind, although he would have more of a preventive component. , but Girardine still doesn't want to have an extra pair of eyes around her at any time.

Well--

There is still a little girl around Geraldine. During this period, there is a little girl beside Geraldine. This little girl is nominally Geraldine’s personal secretary. In fact, even Qin Zhiyuan has heard of the little girl’s name. . Yes, it was Lan Ziying. This little girl had already graduated from McTavish's training class. According to McTavish, he had nothing to teach Lan Ziying, so Lan Ziying graduated early.

Zhong Yiqiu is a female official in the palace. She was one of the batch of "beautiful girls" sent to the palace by Huang Bohan and others when Qin Zhiyuan ascended the throne. Qin Zhiyuan had no idea about these so-called "beautiful girls". He was originally going to All were returned, but because the palace really needed staff, Julie and Misha could not be fully responsible for Qin Zhiyuan's daily life, so Julie made the decision and let them serve as female officials in the palace, which can be regarded as employees of the palace.

These people have signed labor contracts, and both parties have the right to terminate them at any time. Julie does not restrict them from marrying, and they will receive a huge red envelope when they get married. Therefore, these female officers have not caused any trouble.

Girardin worked for the Ministry of Internal Affairs Supervision. With Qin Zhiyuan's deliberate connivance, the scope of responsibility of this Ministry of Internal Affairs was indeed a bit large. The palace was Girardin's first target.
