Battle of the Third Reich

The word mass comes from the Latin "party". It was originally a ceremony of the Roman church to gather believers to sacrifice **** Christ. After thousands of years of development and evolution, many exotic ceremonies and ordinances have been added, which eventually turned into an extremely cumbersome and complicated Religious ceremony.

At one time, the ability of priests or cardinals in each parish to be able to hold a formal mass that fully complied with the ceremonial code of the Holy See became a major indicator of the gap between the rich and the poor in the local parishes, and the strength of the clergy.

At this time, Christianity had not yet convened the Second Vatican Grand Ducal Conference intended for religious reform. The Holy See had very strict requirements for religious ceremonial procedures. Subordinate clerics were not allowed to steal a leap from the Leichi. The private reformers were downgraded and punished. Dismissed the dismissal of teaching staff as heretics

The mass held for Xu Jun by the Holy See this time is the highest-ranking pope mass among all types of masses. It completely follows the ancient procedures handed down over the centuries. The number of participants in the priesthood on the scene is generally not less than 500. In the past, the Holy See held masses of this size only when they encountered major religious holidays. This is the first time since the State of Vatican City held a pope mass for someone alone. It can be said that the Vatican has come up with the ability to press the bottom of the box in order to entertain the head of state.

This is the most formal Triton mass. Latin must be used throughout the ceremony. Before the second Vatican Grand Duchess meeting, hosting a complete Triton mass in Latin was a huge test of the business ability of a bishop. .

Although Pius XII was plagued by common things all the year round, he never stopped exploring religious aspects. He has a profound knowledge of classic Christian religious etiquette. He has written many books on religious ceremonies, and often also on the lower levels. The parish sent some ceremonial issues to explain, and also personally formulated some new norms.

This is a qualified pope. Xu Jun, who participated in the sacred ceremony throughout, had to sigh.

The whole ceremony was extremely cumbersome, but it didn't make people feel bored at all. The magnificent halls, exquisite altars, complicated and rigorous ceremonial procedures, the sacred songs resounded in the ears, and the solemn religious atmosphere , Infecting everyone present, people can't help but awe in awe, this is the peculiar power of religion, and this is the historical heritage that has been deposited for thousands of years.

The mass took place for more than an hour, which is the result of shortening some ceremonies. If the large mass is held during religious celebrations, it will take at least 80 minutes from start to finish.

After the ceremony ended, Xu Jun was led by several cardinals to the Vatican Palace on the east side for a break. This is also known as the Pope's Palace, where the Pope usually lives and works.

The German head of state received the highest level of hospitality here. The magnificent hall of the priests gathered in the magnificent hall, and the table was filled with a variety of drinks, fruits and food. It may be a beautiful silver plate that has been handed down from the time of the Roman Empire. Italian specialties of ham and belly are piled up on a hill. In a large gold-plated bowl on a carved silver background, a fat roasted swan is crouched down, Florence The crystal bottles are filled with wines brewed by the Holy See in ancient ways. This is a special benefit that only the clergy of the Vatican can enjoy. Even if they spend no more money outside, they will often be purchased by the Holy See as gifts. Gifts from bishops everywhere.

"I don't think it's difficult to infer, sir." Xu Jun had a delicate crystal cup in his hand and a charming smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The final winner of this US presidential election must be Mr. Thomas Dewey." The head of state finished tasting the wine in his mouth.

"The Holy See's influence in North America is gradually weakening, so it needs the support of the German immigrant community." A cardinal in red said.

"Your Excellency, I have no personal opinion on this. You can talk to Ribbentrop about the specific situation." The head of state put the glass on the table.

"My head, the meeting room is ready." Dogen came forward and reported to Xu Jun respectfully.

At this time a young assistant in a black robe and a white shawl walked quickly to the cardinal's side and whispered in a whisper. Xu Jun and the Cardinal glanced at each other, ignoring each other. Soon, the high-ranking people in this room left quietly without a word, and finally only a group of regional bishops and senior priests remained, talking and talking while enjoying themselves.

Like many Italian medieval buildings, many secret rooms were built in the Vatican Palace to store important property and books, or to hold important confidential meetings. Xu Jun was introduced into such a conference room, which had been carefully inspected by officers of the guard flag team before, and no security problems were found.

This is a square room measuring 10 meters by 10 meters. It is decorated in the standard Renaissance style. The walls are hung with rose red curtains embroidered with golden blue grass patterns, and there is a huge round table with the same color velvet tablecloth in the middle. A golden hanging spike rolled around the edge of the tablecloth.

There are two entrances and exits in this room, all of which are cleverly disguised. If there is not someone to lead the way, Xu Jun thought it was just an ordinary wall panel.

Pius XII changed into a white dress, covered with the same color wool shawl, wearing a pope's white round cap, sitting at the end of the round table, smiling and looking at the German head of state who entered the door.

"Hopefully those hospitality will satisfy you, Your Excellency Stadler." The pope reached out his hand and made a gesture of sitting down.

"Being able to receive such kind hospitality made me feel flattered and crowned." Xu Jun bent down and sat down.

Disenhofen pushed his chair behind the head of state, and then found a place with Dougan by the wall, where many bishop’s secretaries or clerks were already sitting, holding various small books in hand Prepare to record the meeting.

"I think now we have a lot of mutual understanding, sir, so I don't think I need to continue wasting precious time." The pope opened the document in front of him with a smile.

"I agree with you. Under the crown, our time is precious and we should not waste it on these annoying trivia." Xu Jun also opened the file in front of him.

"The Pope’s crown believes that between Germany and the Vatican Holy See, it is necessary to sign a new [Imperial Treaty], and we have relaxed several of these conditions. For example, Articles 4, 2, and 17, The specific terms, I believe that the head of state has read it." A cardinal priest stood up and said.

"I have read this document carefully, and the terms in it are indeed reasonable. I don't see any problem." Xu Jun said, stroking the paper.

Hearing Xu Jun’s answer, the senior officials of the Holy See and even Pius XII's face suddenly showed a relief expression.

"But" the German head of state gently flicked the cuffs.

"If Germany agrees to your terms, it is foreseeable that the Holy See will gain huge benefits in the new European order. Don’t rush to deny this, sir, none of the people sitting in this room are stupid. People, please don’t insult everyone’s IQ.” The German dictator suddenly dropped his face and raised his hand to stop the cardinal’s speech.

"In this treaty, I only saw that Germany gave the Holy See various conveniences and privileges, but I did not see what the Holy See paid for Germany. If this is a transaction, it is obviously unfair to Germany. I know the Holy See The influence in the Christian world, Your Excellency." Xu Jun pointed at a cardinal, and the other party could only hold back what he had just said.

"I can understand that the Vatican’s idea of ​​keeping a neutral position is quite normal for this country without armed forces. The problem is that under the crown of respect. Now that the Vatican has to make a choice, know the Orient The giant beast is sharpening its teeth, and once it is allowed to climb out of its den, Europe will face a terrible catastrophe." Xu Jun tapped his finger on the table.

"We are aware of it, and we are also worried about it, Your Excellency." The Pope nodded to understand.

As early as the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Holy See had established a huge intelligence network all over the world. Wherever Catholicism spreads, the tentacles of the Holy See can be extended. Through missionaries and **** servants all over the world, the Vatican can detect what is happening in any corner of the world. While countless believers confess and confess, they also put countless secrets into the hands of the Holy See.

There are not many areas in the world that make them impenetrable, and the biggest black hole at this time is undoubtedly the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The Orthodox Church has now been broken by the proletariat iron fist, and the Holy See is more than scared, but more panicked. Under the sorrow of the fox, but also in order not to become the same as the brothers in the east, the Holy See stood firmly on the opposite side of the Soviet Union, not only encouraged and supported all anti-Soviet activities, but also sent a large number of special envoys to spare no effort in the world. Soviet corner.

"So what can we do for you? Your Excellency Stade." Pius XII looked at the young dictator.

"A lot of things, more than you can imagine, under the crown of respect." The German head of state supported his jaw and raised his eyebrows on one side.

Some people said that I wrote too meticulously, that I deliberately irrigated the water. In other words, if I want to irrigate the water, should I only code this chapter every day?

If you fill out five or six chapters every day, not only will the popularity soar, but you can also get several times the manuscript fee.
