Rebirth of the Evil Life

"Haha, Pope Francis, we share weal and woe. And as for me, although I am not very fond of the church, I think that today's church, generally speaking, has made a huge contribution to mankind. So, I am very I'm happy to cooperate with you." Lin Fengxiao said.

Francis nodded slowly. During his contact with Lin Feng, he discovered some of Lin Feng's hostility toward the church, which made him a little worried about whether his cooperation with Lin Feng would be long-term and enjoyable. But the answer he got from Lin Feng now made him feel more reassured. Although Lin Feng admitted that he did not like the church very much, he did not deny what the church was doing now. The basis for comprehensive cooperation between the two people in these nine provinces.

"I can give you a few blessings. The first one is that I will announce that the Vatican will temporarily break off diplomatic relations with Japan and South Korea. Until they can explain clearly the conspiracy with Benedict XVI, the Vatican will permanently separate from Japan and South Korea. Break off diplomatic relations between the two countries!" Francis said.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. But behind Japan and South Korea is the United States, and the United States is the hegemon in the world today. Its power cannot be affected by the church. Therefore, it is okay to blame, but it is difficult to rely solely on the church to severely punish Japan and South Korea. So, Lin Feng had an idea.

"I think it would be better for Pope Francis to ask the leaders of Japan and South Korea to come and apologize in person, and then give them a hard knock. Anyway, these two countries are rich, so instead of letting the matter end, it is better Take the opportunity to extort some money from these two countries," Lin Feng suggested.

Pope Francis thought for a moment with his eyes closed and nodded.

"But you don't mind letting them go like this?" Francis asked.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if we don't let them go. As long as the United States is still around, their status is here. I'm afraid I won't get any benefits. So, instead of getting nothing in the end, it's better to get some. Affordable." Lin Feng chuckled, "There is a saying in China that a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant nest. If I knock a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow, it will add up to a lot. So, don’t rush it!”

Francis nodded.

"The other point is that I will announce the severance of diplomatic relations with Taiwan on behalf of the church. And decide on my next mission to China." Francis offered another extremely generous bargaining chip.

Although this was agreed before, it only refers to breaking off diplomatic relations with Taiwan. It does not say that Francis is going to China as an envoy, and it is the second stop. Of course, although this is the second stop in name, it is actually the first stop. Because the Vatican is located in Italy, the first stop for any pope has always been Italy. This is a sign of respect for Italy and respect for the history of the church.

Catholicism. It is one of the three major sects of Christianity, and its official name is "Roman Catholic Church" or "Roman Catholic Church". That is, the church led by the Pope in Rome. The term Catholic is used to refer to those who believe in the Roman Catholic theoretical system,

Christian believers, including morals, sacrificial rites and dogma, who are fully obedient to the Holy See. Originally founded by Jesus in Palestine. Early Christianity was brutally persecuted and suppressed by the Roman emperors. In 313 AD, Constantine I, the Western Emperor of the Roman Empire, issued the "Edict of Milan" in Milan, declaring that Christianity could enjoy freedom with all other religions without discrimination. Since then Christianity has become an officially recognized and legal religion.

In 1054 AD, due to the division of the Roman Empire into the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, the church in the Eastern Roman Empire split from Catholicism and split away to establish the Orthodox Church. The Catholic Church and its hierarchy, as a unique single church and institution, were now officially established. Today, the number of Catholic believers in the world is approximately 1.21 billion (2011), accounting for 17.5% of the world's total population. There are 130 Catholic archdioceses, 628 dioceses, and 129 dioceses and vicariates in the world.

But since the development of Catholicism, its headquarters has been in the Vatican and in Rome. It has become customary for a new pope to visit the Supreme Leader in Rome (and later the Supreme Leader of Italy) as his first stop. Therefore, the personal preferences of the new pope are often not visible at the first stop, but at the second stop, the personal preferences of the new pope can be seen from the countries he visits. For example, Benedict XVI visited Germany. It is obvious that he has a good impression of Germany, and it can be inferred that he must be rigid and conservative. Usually the country he visits for the second time will be more or less affected by some favorable aspects of the new pope.

Germany's economy originally ranked fifth in the world, but after Benedict XVI became the new pope the year before last, Germany's economy once again ushered in a blowout period, making its economy surpass the United Kingdom in one fell swoop and become the fourth largest economy in the world. You must know that Germany only has a population of more than 80 million and a land area of ​​370,000 square kilometers. Among the world's top ten economies, that is, the top ten economic countries, Germany has the least land, 20,000 square kilometers less than Japan. It also has the smallest population, with more than 40 million fewer people than Japan. But Germany's economy is the fourth in the world, which has to be said to be a miracle.

Although Germany's heavy industry has always been the strongest in the world, although it has experienced another rapid economic development after Benedict XVI came to power, which is related to its own quality and national potential, among them, Benedict XVI has The sixth life did play a big role.

Now, after Francis became the new pope, he did not choose to go to his home country of Argentina as his second stop. Instead, he went to China, a country that had no previous international contacts with the church. This has to be said to be a serious problem. Favor. At least after establishing diplomatic relations with the church, China's recognition in Western countries will be much higher, which will be beneficial to Chinese companies' investment in Western countries. Don’t forget that what Western countries have always criticized China for is that it is a country that lacks faith. A country without faith is extremely scary, at least in Western perception, such a country is extremely scary.

But if China and the Church formally establish diplomatic relations, then in the perception of Western people, they will obviously think that China is not that kind of extremely scary country, that kind of dictatorship that can do whatever it takes, exterminate humanity, and do anything. This change in perception will bring about great changes in the establishment of diplomatic relations and trade between China and the West.

"Pope Francis, thank you very much for this." Lin Feng was surprised, "What are your conditions? There is no free lunch in the sky!"

Pope Francis smiled. He was very satisfied with Lin Feng's attitude. He had studied Eastern culture, and in Eastern culture, Chinese culture occupies a very important position. Therefore, he has researched China. This country has a lot of red tape, a lot of unnecessary politeness, and to a certain extent, this country has more etiquette than their church, but at least the church is relatively straightforward in doing things, while this country requires everything. Going around and around, something that can be clearly explained in one sentence, but people in this country prefer to talk in seven or eight sentences before they get around to this matter. This made Francis very confused and difficult to understand.

He was afraid that Lin Feng would be like this too. If Lin Feng talked like this and went around in circles, he would really faint. Fortunately, Lin Feng is very straightforward. Talking to straightforward people is easy.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that not long ago, you just attended the 100th birthday of Mr. Run Run Shaw, the leader of the Hong Kong film and television industry, right?" Pope Francis asked.

Lin Feng nodded. But it’s strange that Francis asked why. This Run Run Shaw doesn't seem to believe in Catholicism. He believes more in Buddhism.

"Mr. Lin, how many people in this world do you think can live to be 100 years old?" Francis asked.

Lin Feng shrugged. I really can't answer this question myself. There is no statistics on how many people live over 100 years old, but it is certainly not many. Isn't there an old saying in China, "Seventy years have passed since ancient times." There are not many people in history who can live to be seventy years old. Including in modern times, most people do not live to see Tathagata Buddha before they are seventy years old. Of course, there are also many people who live to be eighty, ninety, or even a hundred years old, but those account for the entire earth's population and are extremely rare. For the vast majority of people, once they are over fifty, they are almost done. Especially in China, most people die from various diseases. But Francis asked why? What does he want to do?

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have a miracle doctor named Hua Shiqi, right? Of course, I don't know if I spell it correctly. I only know a little bit about Chinese." Pope Francis said.

Hua Shiqi! When it comes to Hua Shiqi, Lin Feng can roughly understand what Francis wants to do. Obviously, it’s not about seeing a doctor or wanting to live longer.

"Yes, very accurate, it's called Hua Shiqi!" Lin Feng said with appreciation.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have also developed a functional drink called 'Qili', which can improve the vitality of the human body and keep you energetic. It is only distributed in China, right?" Pope Francis asked again.

At this time, Lin Feng was certain that Francis' condition must be related to longevity.

"Pope Francis, your information is indeed accurate. What do you want? Just say it!" Lin Feng said.

"Mr. Lin, in the history of the church, no pope has lived more than a hundred years old, and I want to create this miracle. I hope to live more than a hundred years old. Now I am just 71 years old, and I hope I can at least live another In 29 years, he created a history of the church and left his name in the church’s papal years.” Pope Francis expressed his ambition and said, “I hope I can become the first pope in the history of the church to live over 100 years old. I hope that I will become the longest-serving pope in the history of the church and the most accomplished pope! And for all this, I need Mr. Lin’s support!” (To be continued)
