Chapter 3968 Platform

2008 is the Olympic Games, which is China's top priority. .Before this, Mr. Wen believed that everything would be based on peace and stability. While Mr. Wen and Mr. Xi were distracted, the two sides had completed their brief exchange.

This visit is actually not complicated. Pope Francis has confirmed the establishment of diplomatic relations with China, so this visit is just a formality. After the two parties established diplomatic relations, they began to have dinner. After the meal and a short rest, Pope Francis will prepare to leave China, fly directly to the Vatican, and then announce the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two sides and the cessation of diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

“Everyone, on behalf of the Holy See, I would like to express my gratitude for the establishment of diplomatic relations with China. This is the first time that the Holy See has established diplomatic relations between two countries with a long history. It is the most populous country and the largest religion in the world today. The establishment of diplomatic relations for the first time will open a new page for mankind. This establishment of diplomatic relations will leave its name in the history books!” Pope Francis exclaimed, “This will be a blessing for all mankind, especially next year! The Beijing Olympics is about to be held. Before the centenary Olympics, the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the two thousand-year-old countries and the Holy See is of historical significance! This will become a landmark event in the 21st century!”

Many gentlemen nodded. Indeed, the formal establishment of diplomatic relations for the first time in this millennium between two countries with a history of close ties is indeed worthy of a special mention in human history. Especially before the 100th Olympic Games, this is a beautiful thing. This is of great benefit to both parties.

For the Holy See, if it formally establishes diplomatic relations with the country with the largest population, it can truly receive official support for its missionary work. Its followers will thrive in this country that lacks faith but has the largest population. The number of believers may exceed 2 billion for the first time.

For China, establishing diplomatic relations with the Holy See is conducive to promoting China's positive image in the West. More than 20 years ago, the image of the Chinese in the minds of foreign people was always similar to that of the Qing Dynasty. Everyone had braids on the back of their heads, and they were extremely old-fashioned. Their clothes were always in earthy colors, giving people a sense of Feeling dusty. In the past two decades, with China's reform and opening up and rapid economic development, China's impression on the West has changed, but it is not a good impression.

Chinese people are rich. This is the first impression all Westerners have of the Chinese people. In this Western tourist destination, the first targets of all thieves are Chinese. Because the Chinese carry a large amount of cash with them and are sure to steal (grab), they are the hens that lay golden eggs in the eyes of these thieves.

Chinese people are uncivilized. This is a common perception among Western people towards Chinese people. Those who make loud noises in public, as long as they are in relatively high-end situations, must be Chinese. Although black people also like to make loud noises, they generally don't have the money to go to high-end places, and black people who can go to high-end places are usually very well-educated people and will never make loud noises in public. Only Chinese people do this.

Not only do they like to make noises in public places, throw paper scraps, spit, etc., they are also a common sensory awareness that Chinese people have given to Western people. In this regard, the national government is also very troubled. Regarding guidance in this regard,

It also took a lot of effort. However, some bad habits that people have developed over the years cannot be changed. In fact, it is difficult to change. Because teaching by words and deeds is like running a red light to cross the street. In this class, the teacher has been teaching us to stop when the light is red, go when the light is green, and to use the crosswalk when crossing the road, not to cross the road.

But in fact, children are willing to comply, but parents are unwilling to comply. After being dragged several times by my parents to run red lights like this, the teacher's words fell on deaf ears. When they reach their parents' generation, they have been accustomed to the surname for many years, allowing them to educate their children in this way. From generation to generation, bad habits continue to be taught by words and deeds.

After the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Vatican, the negative image in this regard will be somewhat restored. Moreover, with the official promotion of the church in the country, many people will become believers. This is helpful to stabilize social harmony. And, most importantly, severing diplomatic relations with Taiwan will help China regain Taiwan. Prior to this, Lin Feng had forced the United States to recognize that Taiwan belonged to China, although the United States was still protecting Taiwan and providing help to Taiwan. But in a broad sense, the United States wants to send troops to protect Taiwan, but it is a bit out of place. Under normal circumstances, if China really wants to regain Taiwan by force, then the United States may instigate the United Nations to send troops, that is, European countries will jointly send troops to defend Taiwan.

But now that Taiwan and the Vatican have severed diplomatic relations, without the support of the Holy See, European countries will be somewhat hesitant to send troops. And as long as the Holy See spreads some unfavorable remarks about Taiwan, it will take little effort to regain Taiwan by force. Of course, this surprise attack to regain Taiwan will not cost much effort. But the aftermath will be a problem. However, it is a long time to think about this issue. After all, recovering by force is the next best option.

"I am very glad that China can establish diplomatic relations with our church. And here, I must thank one person, that is our church's friend-Lin Feng, Mr. Lin!" Pope Francis stood up formally, "No Mr. Lin leads the way. I don’t think I will stand here, nor will I usher in this handshake between the two ancient countries. And here, on behalf of the Holy See, I hope to establish a permanent friendship with Lin Feng and become a leader. Forever friends!”

All the gentlemen were surprised. Then, their faces turned ugly. What does Pope Francis mean by saying this? This is clearly to support Lin Feng. He supported Lin Feng in front of the nine gentlemen. Is this a challenge? Is Lin Feng showing off? Showing off his overseas background and his potential strength?

Lin Feng was also a little surprised. But it was not too strange. He was surprised for a while and then passed. Anyway, this is a good thing, isn't it! To be honest, in China, the so-called backers are only Mr. Wen and Mr. Xi. Although these two backers are good, other gentlemen will inevitably think of embarrassing themselves and causing trouble for themselves. Having a pope to support them from behind, although it is a foreign force, will make it easier for them. After all, with my surname, I don't know when I will offend a gentleman and cause trouble. In case this comes to the end, I really have a stalemate and the two sides completely break down the talks, this can be regarded as a talisman.

Mr. Wen and Mr. Xi are helpless. Now, I am afraid that the relationship between Lin Feng and the other gentlemen is completely difficult to heal. For these gentlemen, they have never been challenged in person like this. It would be strange if they did not respond to such naked shouting. Fortunately, nothing serious should happen before 2008. Of course, it is hard to say after 2008.

Especially Lin Feng, who has a knot of marriage. Mr. Wen felt a headache when he thought of 2008.

Then, Pope Francis stood up and said goodbye. And Lin Feng naturally accompanied him to the airport to see Pope Francis off. As a result, when saying goodbye, Pope Francis and the other gentlemen only shook hands and said goodbye, but he bowed to Lin Feng. Such different treatment made many gentlemen even more embarrassed. They hated Lin Feng in their hearts.

"Old Xi, do you think Pope Francis is supporting Lin Feng or making trouble for Lin Feng? Is there such a different treatment?" Mr. Wen asked with a sigh.

"I really don't know about this. According to the information we have, these two people had no relationship before Lin Feng went to the Vatican. After going to the Vatican, the relationship between the two suddenly became close. Among them, the last Pope Benedict XVI died of illness. Although the cause of death was a normal death, it is somewhat intriguing when you think about it." Mr. Xi sighed.

"Hey, it seems that there will be big trouble in the future. I just hope that everything will go well. Before you take office, I hope everything will go smoothly." Mr. Wen sighed.

It's really tiring to follow Lin Feng to escort him. This guy is sometimes too overwhelming. But fortunately, his term is about to end, and it will be Mr. Xi's headache from now on. I won't have to worry about it from now on. Thinking of this, Mr. Wen relaxed again.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Wen, you are so smart, you can't just give up like this. I can't stand this little guy alone." Mr. Xi rolled his eyes.

Mr. Wen laughed.

"Mr. Wen, it's nothing, I'm leaving now." Lin Feng said hello and prepared to leave.

"Wait, don't rush, kid, don't rush to leave! You rarely come here, I don't know when I will catch you next time. I just happen to have something to find you, let's go and have a drink together!" Mr. Wen grabbed Lin Feng.

"Uh, what's the matter?" Lin Feng stretched, "Can this wait until I go back and rest for a while?"

"No! When you rested, the person slipped away again. It's too troublesome to find you. Either you go with us now, or we let the guards carry you away!" Mr. Wen snorted.

Lin Feng was speechless. Faced with the unreasonable Mr. Wen, he could only surrender.

"Okay, I'll go with you! Who let you be the boss!" Lin Feng looked aggrieved.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful!" Mr. Xi glared at Lin Feng, "Okay, let's go. Today we'll treat you to some aged wine, which you can't buy outside. It's brewed in my hometown."

"Hehe, if it tastes good, then bring me more to pack later. There aren't many real aged wines these days!" Lin Feng smiled.

The two gentlemen shook their heads speechlessly. To be continued.
