Remember [ ] in one second, this site provides you with free reading of popular novels.
Never agree! The cardinals will never agree to force the Pope to abdicate, this is absolutely impossible. They will never allow such a thing to happen. Even if the Pope is forced to abdicate, it cannot be under the coercion of outsiders. If they agree, where will the Pope's thousand-year honor be.
But looking at Lin Feng's determined face, and his expression of not giving up until he achieves his goal, Archbishop Francis is worried. If both sides insist on their own, it may eventually lead to a bloody conflict. For the current situation of the second uncle, it is probably extremely unfavorable to the church. It is even possible that this church, which occupies an extremely important position in the history of human development, will disappear. I believe that at that time, Judaism will definitely applaud.
"Mr. Lin, can we talk in a peaceful way?" Francis came out and looked at Lin Feng and said. Although he also hopes that Benedict XVI will abdicate, it is definitely not at the cost of the end of Catholicism.
"Negotiation in a peaceful way?" Lin Feng pointed around and said helplessly, "I'm afraid that in this situation, you can't have the final say. Anyway, this is my condition. If you agree, we can negotiate peacefully, if you don't agree, we can negotiate by force."
This time, even Francis was a little angry. This guy is completely stubborn, how can he be so arrogant? How can you negotiate like this? You are completely unreasonable. This is a typical hooligan behavior.
"Rogue? I never thought I was a gentleman. I am a typical person who will hit you if you bite me. We could have a good talk. As long as you apologized to me and handed over the murderer, the matter would be over. But in the end, you stayed inside. You enjoyed fine clothes and delicious food. And I was sleeping outside in the open air, enduring hunger and cold. It snowed heavily and I almost froze to death. In the end, you closed the door and prepared to catch me in a jar. Damn, I hate turtles the most in my life. So. This is all your fault." Lin Feng cursed directly, pointing at the cardinals, cursing heartily, cursing happily, cursing with a sense of comfort.
This curse vented all the resentment in Lin Feng's heart. To be honest, although the sit-in demonstrations in the past few days were intended to hone his will, it was really unpleasant. He had been holding back a lot of anger and resentment in his heart. So, Lin Feng wanted to find a chance to vent. Unfortunately, these damn cardinals became the targets of Lin Feng's venting.
All the cardinals were scolded. But they didn't dare to get angry. Looking at the German machete in Lin Feng's hand in the moonlight, the knife light was dazzling, and Lin Feng was so emotional at the moment. Who knows if they refuted Lin Feng at this time, Lin Feng would chop them with a knife. Lin Feng has done a lot of crimes of passion. In addition, there is a religious war, and he has been sitting in protest for several days and nights without drinking a drop of water. It is very likely that he will be in a trance and illusion. When Lin Feng chops them, it will be in vain.
So,
No matter how aggrieved or angry they are, many cardinals are holding back. In short, they can't be angry with Lin Feng now, at least when their lives are not guaranteed, they must not be angry with Lin Feng or quarrel with him.
"Mr. Lin, I think we should have a good talk." Francis stood up again. There was no way. If he didn't stand up again, who knows how many ugly words Lin Feng would say. Especially, for someone who aspires to become the Pope, it is naturally impossible to tolerate Lin Feng's insulting the church. Francis has no objection to you scolding Benedict XVI, but he must come forward to insult the church.
"Well, since there are still people who dare to talk to me, let's have a good talk." Lin Feng gave Francis a face. Lin Feng was so naughty, of course, he didn't really want to make things out of control, but just to vent, and for better negotiations later. Let these damn cardinals know that he is not easy to mess with. If you make yourself extremely angry, you can do anything.
"Then Mr. Lin, can we talk quietly aside? I will select five cardinals from here to talk with you." Francis said.
Lin Feng shrugged and pointed with a machete, "That's it. I haven't been in yet, let's go in and talk together."
What! There? That won't do! That's the Vatican Palace, the Pope's bedroom. How can Lin Feng use it for negotiations? Besides, the Pope is still in a coma, and he is still outside in the cold. How can Lin Feng go in when the Pope is outside? This won't do!
"No? If I say yes today, then it must be yes. No, I'll chop you up before I go in." Lin Feng yelled.
Many cardinals wanted to show a little loyalty and courage of "keeping a loyal heart to shine in history", but they softened after being glared at by Lin Feng and pointed at the machete in his hand. This, they really didn't dare to force it. To stop this madman Lin Feng, there would be a price to pay. The price of blood.
"Mr. Lin, we can go in and talk, but can His Holiness the Pope go in and rest?" Francis suggested. Although he didn't like the Pope, letting the Pope in at this time would be a time to win people's hearts.
Lin Feng thought for a while and curled his lips, "I really don't like this old boy. Due to my temper, I really want to chop him with a knife. But, forget it, seeing that this old boy is already vomiting blood from anger. For my own sake, I will allow him to go in and rest. But as I said before, if he goes in and wakes up, I won't mind killing this old boy!"
Old boy! ! ! Everyone felt a chill. Lin Feng actually called His Majesty the Pope "old boy" directly. This was too disgusting. This is His Majesty the Pope, a godly figure who speaks his mind in the Vatican, and his will is the Trumpet of God. Lin Feng actually called him an old boy. This was too bold.
But Francis looked comfortable. Then he ordered five cardinals to accompany him in. Naturally, these five cardinals are all people with whom he has a very close relationship, and this negotiation is to talk openly and honestly with Lin Feng to determine their relationship and interests.
Immediately, the Pope was carried in, followed by Lin Feng and Francis. Five more cardinals entered. Face this situation. Although some of Benedict XVI's closest confidants were a little dissatisfied. But when they saw Lin Feng's shining machete, everyone was intimidated. They were really afraid of such a lunatic. Religion itself makes people fanatical, but no matter how fanatical the fanatics are, they have not completely lost their minds. As for a madman, that is completely unreasonable. If you talk to a madman, it is a wild card.
But in this current situation. But everyone had to hope that Francis could reach an agreement with Lin Feng to prevent the church's thousand-year prestige from being destroyed in one fell swoop.
"This place is good, really good. The famous "Genesis" should be above this!" Lin Feng said while looking at the huge oil painting above his head.
"Mr. Lin, this is indeed Michelangelo's "Genesis". This place has a history of thousands of years. Everything about the church is here." Francis exclaimed, "How many thousand-year-old monuments can still be found in this world?" exist."
"Indeed, I hope my 'second world' can exist for a thousand years, or even longer!" Lin Feng said with emotion.
Francis and the five cardinals looked convulsed. The ‘Second World’ has existed for thousands of years. God, this guy is so ambitious. If it is true as Lin Feng said. If the 'Second World' can exist for thousands of years, I am afraid that the 'Second World' in a thousand years will become the largest financial group on the planet, and even the most powerful and financially powerful financial group on the planet. Even any country will Can't be compared to that.
"Okay, no more nonsense. Let's negotiate. Archbishop Francis, tell me, what do you want? How to solve this matter?" Lin Feng didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and went straight to the point. Since Francis selected these five cardinals for negotiation, I believe he must be closely related to them, otherwise he would not have selected these five cardinals at this sensitive moment. Therefore, don’t hide some words, speak directly if you have something to say, and let it go quickly!
Francis nodded.
"Mr. Lin, what is your request? Your real request!" Francis said.
"I have only one request, and that is that Benedict XVI must step down. As for whether your church personally apologizes to me, I personally don't mind. As long as the believers behind me are satisfied. Therefore, this condition is met If it doesn't work, then we don't have to talk." Lin Feng didn't hesitate and stated his request directly.
Francis nodded. This condition is also what he expected. If Lin Feng did not want Benedict XVI to step down, then he would also ask Lin Feng to insist on such a request. Otherwise, how would he come to power?
"Okay! I agree to this condition!" Francis said firmly, "Including the first condition you proposed before, we also agree. As long as I can become the Pope, I will personally apologize to you on behalf of the Pope."
scare! The five cardinals around Francis exclaimed in surprise, but then understood. They looked at each other, both showing a hint of excitement. They are of the same lineage as Francis, and Francis and Benedict XVI have always been dissatisfied. Because Francis was originally the next pope's successor appointed by the previous pope, but he was interfered with by Benedict XVI, destroying his succession ceremony, and Benedict XVI eventually became the pope. I won’t go into detail about the various conspiracy methods involved. In short, as cardinals of Francis's lineage, they have also been hit hard by Benedict XVI, and their survival is very difficult. It would be great if Francis could become pope. This is in their interests.
"Mr. Lin, not only that, we can also establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese government, sever ties with Taiwan, and deny Taiwan's legal status as a country!" Francis once again threw out a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that was enough to tempt Lin Feng. .
The Vatican is the only country in Europe that recognizes Taiwan as legitimate. Due to the special nature of the Vatican, Taiwan is recognized by the public in Western society. This has led to a series of frictions and contradictions between the Chinese government and the church. And these contradictions will affect the normal diplomatic relations between China and Western countries from time to time. Therefore, Francis's bargaining chip made Lin Feng very excited. At least this is another gift that Lin Feng gave to the two gentlemen before the year.
"Then what price do I have to pay?" Lin Feng asked.
cost? Everything has a price, and you will have to pay for what you get. There will never be pie in the sky. This is an eternal truth.
"That's what I want to talk to Mr. Lin about. Mr. Lin, the walls of the Vatican have been destroyed. This is a great shame for the Vatican. Now all countries are still in shock and have not reacted. But tomorrow, I'm afraid all the believers in the West will vent their anger on your identity, your company, your relatives and friends, and they will all be attacked by believers. I don't think this is a good thing for you." Francis said slowly.
Lin Feng thought about it and nodded. This demolition of the Vatican wall was one of the plans that had been planned before. Before coming to the Vatican, Lin Feng had set up many possibilities and reserved many means to avoid being deeply trapped in the Vatican. After all, this sudden church that is not in the same country as him actually came to him. That's not a problem. And Lin Feng had anticipated the consequences of demolishing the Vatican wall. But there are some things that you still have to do even if you know it will cause big trouble.
"Archbishop Francis, what do you mean?" Lin Feng asked.
"What I mean is that in this matter, we both admit that the destruction of the Vatican wall was caused by a conflict between the believers of both sides. And you will bear the construction of the Vatican wall and all the expenses. What do you think?" Francis proposed. Of course, he still has room for negotiation on this proposal. If Lin Feng is embarrassed or disagrees, he can choose to let the Vatican pay for it, but build it in the name of Lin Feng. After all, the face of the church is always needed. The church has extremely large industries all over the world. Most of the churches around the world belong to the church, and there are also some hotels, etc., which are all the industries of the church. It can be said that in terms of wealth, all the wealth of the church accumulated is actually a behemoth.
"No problem, this is absolutely no problem!" Lin Feng agreed. Lin Feng naturally has no problem with this. It's like you punched someone, then went over to subsidize the medical expenses of the person, and then the person pretended that it didn't happen. Why should Lin Feng refuse such a good thing in the world?
Francis nodded. Now that the biggest problem has been solved, the rest will be easy to solve.
"Mr. Lin, we have another request here. We hope that your 'Wolf Fang' can train our Pope's Guards and Vatican Gendarmerie to improve their combat effectiveness and ensure that they will not be defeated so easily!" Francis proposed what he had been thinking about before. (To be continued...)
