Six Hundred and Seventy Second Illumination Council

ILLUMINATI, the Illuminati is a great organization with a long and storied history.

It is said that it was first born in the Byzantine Empire in the 14th century, but the real and credible source comes from the 16th century.

In the tide of the Catholic Reformation, a group of "specially inspired people" included Galileo Galilei, Nicola Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, Gian Lorenzo Bernini and other heavenly beings. In order to resist religious oppression and spread true knowledge, the proud sons gathered together and founded the first widely known secret society.

The end of such a secret society is doomed, because it is widely known, and there must be no bones left.

The Illuminati quickly died under the oppression of the Holy See, but it was not completely dead. In the next two hundred years, politicians, conspirators, soldiers, scholars, and even theologians often rebuilt the Illuminati based on their own purposes.

"People who have received special revelation" is a sacred scripture without intellectual property rights. As long as it is hung in the meeting place of the secret society in Latin style, the people in the meeting place will naturally be sublimated in the light.

This kind of unorganized and undisciplined development makes the Illuminati an all-round backer. Regardless of whether they did it or not, the Vatican has become accustomed to adding an article [under the Illuminati's conspiracy] when various historical events are finalized.

Because of this, the Illuminati was demonized, but it was also because of this that it was able to change from an unpopular society known only to a few people to the famous one it is now.

They are regarded by the public as elites, ambitious and powerful. This perception was further solidified in 1776. On May 1 of that year, Adam, a professor of practical philosophy at the University of Ingolstadt in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Weishaupt, taking the theory of the possible completion of human ethics as the outline, announced the resurrection of the Illuminati under the sun.

In 1780, the joining of Freemason Adolf Koenig brought new changes to the Illuminati, which had always been lacking in organization.

He perfected the organization, imitating the structure of the Freemasonry, calling the core leadership of the society the "Holy Mountain of Ares", and calling the members the "Brotherhood of Light".

He also further improved the organizational program, and for the first time planned the goal of struggle and unity for the organization on the basis of the original "specially inspired person" whose purpose was unknown, "establishing a new order."

The Illuminati achieved great prosperity and became well-known in just a few years. At its peak, the Illuminati Brotherhood had as many as 4,000 members, spreading throughout Europe, covering politics, the military, learning, and teaching.

But now that everyone knows about it, the traditional program of the secret society will naturally be staged.

The venue of the performance is the Kingdom of Bavaria, which was rejuvenated by the Illuminati.

On July 22, 1784, the Marquis of Bavaria issued a ban on associations, prohibiting all secret societies.

On March 2, 1785, the decree named the Brotherhood of Light and Freemasonry as crimes of treason and heresy and banned them. Count Steilberg was thus stripped of his peerage.

On August 16, 1787, a new law was promulgated, and anyone who joined the Freemasonry and the Brotherhood of Light would be punished by death.

In just three years, the Illuminati, which had flourished for eight years, once again melted away. This time their organization was bigger and more complete than any time in history, so their collapse was faster and more complete. Today, There has been no trace at all.

However, no one would have imagined that on the far side of the ocean, on the banks of the East River in Manhattan, and in Drake's luxurious Mercury Manor, this prestigious secret society would actually cooperate with the Baishang Association...

...

...

Wood has nothing to do with it.

literal meaning,

As evidenced by the gods, the Illuminati and the Illuminati Council have nothing to do with each other from organization to personnel.

The Illuminati is the Illuminati, from lofty to snobbish, from rational to blind, from heart-to-truth to power-loving, they lurk in the shadows and watch the world, but always believe that they are the only ones favored by the light.

The Illumination Council is the Illumination Council, basically the Baishang Association, but actually a chaebol group.

In 1782, after two consecutive association wars ended, the merchants of the Association once lost their direction.

Their guild is called [110 chambers of commerce jointly respond to the regional security union], and its original intention was to fight against the crazy pirate jihad started by Pavlomy.

Then there were two association wars, and the brave merchants paid a heavy price, which made the pirates feel the pain to the bone.

After the war, the Caribbean Sea began to evolve into a new order. Although it was not the same as the original order, the madness did stop. In the new order, merchants had room to live again.

Is the mission of the Baishang Association ended? Many people are lost.

On the one hand, the relationship between chambers of commerce has become closer due to the war, and the short-term alliance of several chambers of commerce close to it has replaced the labor-intensive association war, which has increasingly highlighted the advantages of cost performance.

On the other hand, with Lorraine and several large chambers of commerce making profits, the association has entered a period of rapid development in other fields. Even if it deviates from the original intention of security, the value of this super-large trade association can no longer allow anyone to use it in any way. reason to ignore.

No one is willing to throw away this sweet pastry that they can't eat enough, especially those super chaebols who stand at the top of the association. They have seen more and thought more.

ambition!

Since the united businessmen can have such a powerful force, they deserve the recognition and respect of the mainstream society!

With this in mind, Old Dukov proposed in an informal gathering that the permanent directors of the association should be more united and a mechanism should be established to better determine the direction of the association regardless of the organizational structure of the association.

It was 1783, and the Bavarian Illuminati on the European continent was at its peak, and the scriptures of "specially inspired people" fascinated the directors, so this secret establishment, regardless of the chairman of the council and members of the auditorium Only then did it get its name, [Illumination Council].

The Illumination Council is not a well-structured organization, to some extent, it is not even a complete organization.

It determined its name at the first meeting and the monogram at the second meeting.

The original intention of the establishment of Baishanglianshe was to combat piracy, so based on the shadow of Baishanglianshe, the monogram of the Illumination Council was set as a collection of traditional pirate elements, the skull black flag.

At the third meeting, the council decided that the group needed to be sanctified and recommended that all members abandon the pirate elements on the flags of their respective chambers.

Twelve of the world's top privateer chambers of commerce therefore modified their own pirate flag, which symbolizes privateering rights, which is why Lorraine said that "his white flag was woven together by twelve companies."

In the fourth meeting, Lorraine, who patiently played with eleven old guys for nearly two weeks, finally waited for a truly valuable decision.

The Illumination Council follows the principles of equality, justice, and unity. All members must be present at each meeting, and there must be no differences among members.

This is why Lorraine was questioned as soon as he entered the venue. Because of Shi Chaosheng's visit, he skipped the last rally in New Orleans, and the other members must have grudges.

It is Lorraine's duty to eliminate bad feelings. As for whether to use the truth...he has no duty.

Four consecutive meetings determined the basic nature of the Council of Illumination, but after that the Council entered a long-term suspension.

After all, at that time, the members did not think too much about the role of such a joint association. It seems that most of the things that the Illumination Council can do can also be done by the council meeting of the Baishang Association. What is its unique point? How should its value be developed so that it can match the expectations of the members?

The fifth meeting was separated from the previous four by more than a year.

In the naval battle of Basseterre, Lorraine defeated Blackbeard, and there was a wave of radical speeches within the Hundred Chambers of Commerce that made a final decision and wiped out the Pirates of the Caribbean empire.

This trend has set the directors on fire.

Originally, after the two association wars, these powerful chambers of commerce had a tacit understanding with the big pirates, and they would not easily dispute again, so as not to trigger a new war.

They were the biggest beneficiaries of the first two wars, but if the third war comes, they must become the core combat force and they are destined to be the biggest losers.

Including Lorraine, they don't want to fight with pirates.

The Illumination Council reopened after more than a year, and quickly passed an internal decision, believing that the strength of the pirates was still strong, and acting rashly would be of no benefit to the Council of Directors.

Ever since, at the subsequent board meeting of the association, the twelve chambers of commerce were divided into three groups: main battle, main peace, and neutral, and staged a fierce debate in front of twenty auditors and respected directors. The peace faction narrowly won in the end.

This debate allowed the directors to avoid a meaningless and tragic war. More importantly, while safeguarding their interests, their prestige in the association was not damaged at all, and even slightly increased.

The directors finally found the magical effect of the Council of Light. They only want the Baishang Association to be their help. No one wants to sacrifice themselves to become a helper for the association merchants.

The same is true for today's meeting, the 22nd plenary meeting of the Illumination Council, topic: revolving door plan.
