Rebirth of the Evil Life

Chapter 3928 Blackmail

Francis’ condition is indeed that he wants to live a long life. In fact, this is not surprising at all. Throughout the ages, whether they are ancient emperors and kings or modern businessmen and wealthy people, without exception, they all desire to live longer and live longer. Living a long life is just the most basic thing. Some people even hope to live forever. For example, frozen genes can be resurrected in the future when technology is sufficiently developed, etc.

In the field of theology, the discussion of eternal life far exceeds that of other fields. It is not surprising that Francis wants to gain eternal life. On the contrary, this is a very normal request. Especially after knowing that he has a miraculous doctor like Hua Shiqi and a miraculous functional drink like 'Qili', it is not surprising to have such an idea. What's more, Francis's request is not high, just to live to be over 100 years old. At this point, it is not too difficult to do.

"Pope Francis, I understand what you mean. In a few days, I will ask Mr. Hua Shiqi to come here to help you diagnose and treat you, and then teach you the art of health maintenance." Lin Feng promised.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin." Francis said with a smile.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just mutual benefit for everyone." Lin Feng said bluntly. Putting aside previous transactions, as far as Francis is concerned, the longer he lives, the greater the benefits he will receive. Therefore, Lin Feng was eager to let Francis live longer. After all, it is really not easy to have a good relationship with a pope. If the Pope dies easily, like Benedict XVI who died within two years of his reign, then all the resources he invested before will be in vain. On the contrary, if the Pope is acquired for a longer period of time, the investment will be more cost-effective. In other words, the rate of return is higher.

After a good talk. The two ended the conversation happily. Subsequently. Pope Francis announced sanctions against Japan and South Korea, announcing that until the two countries clearly explain their conspiracy with Benedict XVI, the two countries will no longer be normal diplomatic relations with the Vatican. At the same time, Francis announced that he hopes that all Catholic believers will refuse any transactions with pagans in Japan and South Korea.

This declaration undoubtedly panicked Japan and South Korea. Although Francis had previously expressed his anger against Japan and South Korea on behalf of Benedict XVI, at that time Francis was the archbishop after all. Not the Pope. Although he was speaking on behalf of the Pope, Pope Benedict XVI was still in a coma at that time. It is still unclear whether the legal effect of these remarks was really what Benedict XVI said. Therefore, Japan and South Korea did not care about this declaration at all, and were not too afraid. They only issued an official white paper to explain that this matter was purely a misunderstanding. That's all.

But now that Francis is the pope, the meaning is completely different. Francis’ words represent the will of the Catholic Church and the will of the 1.7 billion Catholics around the world. Now he has announced that he will break off diplomatic relations with Japan and South Korea. This is an extremely bad diplomatic incident. At the same time, he also called on all Catholic believers to refuse trade with Japan and South Korea. This is simply appalling.

All Catholics are mainly in Western developed countries, and although the businesses of Japan and South Korea are spread all over the world, their main profit points are still in Western developed countries.

If it is true that Catholics no longer trade with Japanese and Korean companies, the economies of both Japan and South Korea will suffer heavy losses.

Immediately, the two governments issued statements claiming that the incident was completely a misunderstanding. The church must have misunderstood them. They had indeed communicated with Benedict XVI before, but the discussion was about the potential destructive power of Nuwa Empress to mankind. They were just worried about whether Nuwa would become Skynet in "Terminator". Humans cause destruction. Rather than having any intentions towards 'Nu Wa', after all, they have purchased the source code of 'Nu Wa', and it will only take some time to cultivate the 'Nu Wa Empress' in Lin Feng's hands. Therefore, there is no need for them to borrow the power of the Pope to plunder.

Originally, the two governments hoped that this statement would resolve the matter, and then use the ambassadors to Italy to turn their hostility into friendship with the church. What makes the two countries embarrassed is that the ambassadors to Italy are directly banned from entering the Vatican. Not only that, the Italian government also announced that if Japan and South Korea cannot appease the Vatican, then they will expel the ambassadors of Japan and South Korea just like the Vatican.

This time, Japan and South Korea were greatly surprised. If they are also expelled from Italy, it will be troublesome. Although the trade between Japan and Italy accounts for a very small amount of Japan's foreign trade. However, Japan and South Korea are worried that this will cause a chain reaction. It would be really troublesome if other countries did the same.

As a result, those words really came true. This good thing is not effective, it is a bad spirit. Japan and South Korea are still worried. As a result, Western countries have issued declarations, claiming that if Japan and South Korea cannot satisfy the Pope and cannot give the Vatican a reasonable explanation, then all European countries will expel Japan and South Korea. ambassador. This time, it was really a global shock.

For a long, long time, since the end of the Cold War, it has not happened that multiple countries in the world have expelled the ambassador of a certain country at the same time. Only during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and the United States faced off, could this happen. But even that matter, such mutual expulsion of ambassadors, is very rare. At most, it is just relative confrontation and boycott. The expulsion of ambassadors is more serious, and the two countries are close to severing diplomatic relations.

But now, in the 21st century, this is happening. All Western countries, except the United States, almost all European countries have issued ultimatums to Japan and South Korea, notifying the two governments that if they cannot obtain the understanding of the Vatican, they will expel their ambassadors. Of course, this is only the first step. If the Vatican's understanding is still not obtained, then various countries will impose economic sanctions on the two countries.

This time, the leaders of the two countries were frightened. They never expected that a single word from the Vatican Pope could have such a big effect. Didn’t Francis just become the pope? How could he have such great influence? Also, this Francis is an Argentinian pope, the first Argentinian pope in thousands of years of Catholicism. Well, what's wrong with Western countries? Why do they pay so much for Francis? This is incredible. It’s too crazy.

"Boss, what's going on? Why do countries follow Pope Francis' words?" Lin Chiling also looked puzzled. She really didn't understand this.

"Haha, isn't this simple? In fact, this problem is really simple, because companies in Japan and South Korea are now becoming bigger and stronger in the world, which has affected the interests of many Western countries. But under the WTO agreement, All countries can only compete fairly. But what if they can't compete with companies from Japan and South Korea? This time there is an opportunity. The Vatican is the holy place of Catholicism and the spiritual place of all Western countries. Now the Vatican may be occupied by Japan and South Korea. This is the best excuse to deal with the two countries. "Churchill said it well, there are no eternal rivals in the world, only eternal interests!"

"Then what will happen in the end? Will Japan and South Korea be in ruins?" Liu Yifei asked excitedly.

Lin Feng shrugged.

"I'm afraid it's hard to follow our wishes. You know, the economic strength of Japan and South Korea lies here, and they are closely following their leader, the United States. At most, Western countries can only suppress the arrogance of the two countries. If they want to pass It would be too difficult to completely destroy the two countries. The U.S. government will not sit idly by and ignore it. Therefore, the final result is that Japan and South Korea will pay a certain price and obtain the Vatican's understanding. "Yes." Lin Feng said.

"Ah, let's leave it alone. This involves His Majesty the former Pope!" The girls looked surprised.

"Haha, this kind of thing will end up nothing in the end, otherwise what will happen in the end? As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy, Japan and South Korea are not weak, and they have a huge backer, so they will always You have the right to choose," Lin Feng explained with a smile.

Not so, and Lin Feng would not suggest that Francis just make a small sum and then accept it. There is no way, if things really get serious and the United States steps in, European countries will eventually compromise, and then no matter how powerful the church is, it will have to compromise. Otherwise, if all the countries in the world unite to put pressure on your church, this church will not be able to bear it.

Therefore, when the leaders of Japan and South Korea, Shinzo Abe and Lee Myung-bak, rushed to the Vatican, and after waiting outside for 12 hours, they were finally received by Pope Francis. After a lengthy negotiation, Shinzo Abe and Lee Myung-bak came out with a sigh of relief. Immediately, Francis announced that the church had thoroughly investigated the matter. The result was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding caused by language exchange between the two parties. It was not because Japan and South Korea deliberately plotted against former Pope Benedict XVI, but because the English spoken in Japan and South Korea was too poor and their local accents were too strong. misunderstandings arise.

Subsequently, Francis announced that the Vatican would reestablish diplomatic relations with Japan and South Korea and would appoint priests to preach in the two countries. In response, Western countries naturally overturned their previous expulsion remarks and no longer mentioned any words of expulsion. Everything passed calmly like this. As for what agreement the Vatican and Japan and South Korea have reached, only the Vatican and Japan and South Korea know. Among them, the United States desperately wants to know. But this time, no matter how much pressure the United States exerted, the leaders of Japan and South Korea only admitted that they personally apologized and promised to provide church preaching to the Vatican in their countries, and said nothing more about the rest.

Of course, no one in the world knows this, but Lin Feng does. After learning about Francis' conditions, Lin Feng could only helplessly admire that the church people were indeed capable of blackmail. (To be continued)
