Expedition to Europe

The Knights Templar, she has much more power than Qin Zhiyuan thinks.

Let's talk about the financial strength of the Knights Templar first. The monthly income of the Knights Templar was 6 million pounds. Don't underestimate this number. The British royal family at that time only had an income of 200,000 pounds.

The Knights Templar was once the largest creditor of France. That's why King Philip IV of France wanted to obtain the wealth of the Knights Templar to subsidize France's deficit.

The Knights Templar once managed the treasuries of Britain and France...

But what doesn't match the huge wealth of the Knights Templar is the military force of the Knights Templar, which has fallen to the bottom.

The Knights Templar once had 140,000 troops and supporters throughout Europe. They could confront the Mamluks of the once popular Arab Kingdom head-on. But as time goes by, the Knights Templar has now declined, with only thousands of loyal supporters hiding in every corner of Europe.

Europe-Arabia...

Qin Zhiyuan seemed to have something in his mind, but he didn't catch the inspiration. For a moment, he felt empty and confused, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"After the Age of Exploration, the religious reform started in Europe. In order to find a way out, the Knights Templar also extended their tentacles to the New World. There are many supporters of the Knights Templar in the United States now, such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and John Pierpont Morgan, who just passed away a few years ago." Auerbach continued to introduce and named a series of famous big names.

"Rockefeller? Carnegie? Impossible?" Qin Zhiyuan was shocked.

As far as Qin Zhiyuan knew, the relationship between Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan was not good. These three people belonged to the three major fields of oil, steel, and finance. The consortium they established was the three giants in the American economic world.

If they were all supporters of the Knights Templar, it would be a bit far-fetched.

"Nothing is impossible. The Knights Templar are boycotted by almost all secular countries, so we have to disguise ourselves. As for those commercial competitions, it is just the free transfer of wealth, and there is no loss. Do you think Rockefeller will donate his property casually?" Auerbach continued to shock people.

"I am afraid he will not give it to me casually. I have a question, why me?" Qin Zhiyuan was puzzled.

If Qin Zhiyuan did not understand the power of the Knights Templar and the significance of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar before, then Qin Zhiyuan now fully understands it. The Knights Templar, supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, and the Morgan Foundation, have a power that ordinary countries cannot match. According to some conspiracy theories, the Knights Templar are the hidden black hands that manipulate the operation of the world. Even a wealthy man like Louis Renault does not even have a seat in the Knights Templar, which shows the background of the Knights Templar.

Why would such a behemoth choose a Chinese from the East? And a Chinese who is not valued by the mainstream European society? This question unexpectedly floated to Qin Zhiyuan's mind.

"Why? That's a good question. But if you knew the efforts made by the Knights Templar, you wouldn't ask that question. You can imagine that even a dwarf born in Corsica can fully support the Knights Templar. What else can be faulted?" There was a trace of sadness on Orbach's face, and Qin Zhiyuan almost doubted his eyes.

The dwarf from Corsica, then it must be Napoleon.

"Is Napoleon the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar?" Qin Zhiyuan was dumbfounded.

"Yes, although Bonaparte Napoleon has been dead for nearly a hundred years, unlike the nominal Grand Master of the Knights Templar who has no real power, the real Grand Master of the Knights Templar is not indispensable, so when it comes to you, you are the 28th, not the 57th." Orbach explained in detail.

Qin Zhiyuan now understood that since the Grand Master Jacques de Molay was burned to death, the Knights Templar entered a period of reconstruction. During this period, there was a nominal Grand Master of the Knights Templar, but he had no real power. In fact, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar was not always there. Only when the right candidate appeared, the real Grand Master of the Knights Templar would be born.

"So what are the responsibilities of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar?" Qin Zhiyuan was dumbfounded.

Napoleon at the time ruled the whole of Europe, fought all over the world and had almost no rivals. He fought until the Russians set fire to his capital and organized seven anti-French alliances in Europe, but he still failed in the end. Qin Zhiyuan asked himself, he is now incomparable with Napoleon at the time. What Napoleon did not do, Qin Zhiyuan did not think he could do.

"Initially, we wanted to restore the glory of the Knights Templar in the world and establish a true Christian prosperity. However, since the First French Empire, this argument has gradually lost its market. Now it has become impossible to conquer the world by force. Therefore, the Knights Templar now begins to shift from military conquest to deeper levels such as culture and economy. If possible, we hope that the glory of the Lord can shine to every corner of the world." Auerbach actually had such a lofty ambition, which made Qin Zhiyuan shudder.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Pierre, go back quickly, I want to find His Holiness the Pope, this Grand Master can't do it!" Qin Zhiyuan shook his head.

Qin Zhiyuan was scared. Let's leave the task of saving the world to others. Qin Zhiyuan is not an American and has no interest in saving humanity. It's better to let others be the hero. Qin Zhiyuan just wants to live his life quietly. If he can improve the international status of Chinese people, it will be better. Qin Zhiyuan really doesn't have such a big ideal and can't take on the responsibility of leading the Knights Templar.

"What?" Pierre and Orbach exclaimed, and their voices changed.

"Qin, you have to calm down. The Knights Templar is just an empty shell now. There is nothing. I was just teasing you when I said that." Orbach sweated profusely.

At this time, Orbach remembered Qin Zhiyuan's character. This man dared to make His Holiness the Pope wait. If he didn't like it, Qin Zhiyuan really dared to go back and resign!

Resignation... It sounds like job hopping!

"Qin, you just appointed me as your personal knight. If you dare to resign, I will drive the car into the Mediterranean." Pierre was sweating.

Pierre was heartbroken at this moment. He was like a knight who had been pursuing a princess for more than ten years. When he finally met the princess, he found that the princess was coming out...

"But, this great leader is going to save the world. Do you think I look like him?" Qin Zhiyuan was furious.

Pierre stopped the car carefully, and he and Orbach stared at Qin Zhiyuan for a long time, and said in unison: "Looks like him!"

Oh my god, Qin Zhiyuan really wanted to go back to the disheveled look in the morning.
