The negotiations between Qin Zhiyuan and Ryder Auerbach went smoothly.

Ryder Auerbach immediately agreed to the price proposed by Qin Zhiyuan, which made Qin Zhiyuan wonder whether his price was too low.

But it was difficult to increase the price, so Qin Zhiyuan confirmed the price.

This is quite a lot!

Calculated based on the monthly salary of French soldiers at this time, US$1 million could hire almost 15,000 French soldiers. The salary of the Chinese is not that high, and it is very easy to hire 20,000 people.

Qin Zhiyuan has less than 10,000 soldiers in total.

After negotiating the price, start talking about specific actions.

Ryder has great ambitions: "The first stop is to go to the Republic of China. We will land at the same time from several treaty ports such as Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Wuhan. I will send missionaries and you will send soldiers. We will work together and your people can occupy the territory." My people can build churches locally and spread the gospel of God.”

"No, no, no, the Republic of China is not a good place. As far as I know, the current central government and the southern warlords are in confrontation. It is similar to the situation before the American Civil War. It is not the best time to enter the Republic of China now." Qin Zhiyuan is different. Opinion.

"The Republic of China has the largest market and the largest population in the world, but it is still a desert of faith. It is a good opportunity to spread the gospel of God. How can we miss it?" Ryder was unwilling to accept it.

"Ryder, you have to understand one thing. If we land with arms, it will be equivalent to a head-on battle with the local government. As a member of the Foreign Legion, I have the right to evade." Qin Zhiyuan made a big deal out of the tiger's skin.

The Foreign Legion does have relevant regulations. If the warring country involves the soldier's own homeland, the soldiers of the Foreign Legion have the right to refuse to fight.

"Qin, when you fight for the Holy See, you are no longer the general of the French Foreign Legion, but the head of the Holy See Knights. Your will should be the embodiment of the Pope's will." Ryder said from the perspective of belonging Shang tried to persuade Qin Zhiyuan.

"Before I became the general of the Foreign Legion or the leader of the Holy See Knights, I was first of all a Chinese, and secondly someone else. There is no room for discussion on this issue." Qin Zhiyuan insisted. .

As a Chinese, he must not harm his own countrymen first. Qin Zhiyuan has reasons to persist.

"Then, our plan will be greatly delayed." Ryder was unwilling to give up and wanted to persuade Qin Zhiyuan to give up his persistence.

"No, during this period of time, before the war in Europe ends, I will stay in Europe and then return to the Far East. So I think the task during this period should be to make plans, not to take action rashly. Even if it is to take action , We should also look for a relatively weak opponent, not a behemoth like the Republic of China from the beginning, so that even if there is a deviation in the execution of the plan, we can correct the direction in time. "Qin Zhiyuan has his own plan and keeps it secret. The beginning is misleading.

"So, where do you think it is more appropriate to start? You have to know that the Far East now is basically a colony of Britain and France, and there is no suitable target. Relatively speaking, the Republic of China is the best place to start." Ryder I never forget the Republic of China.

"Forget the Republic of China, at least not now." Qin Zhiyuan firmly disagreed.

"Let me think about it, India? It belongs to the British. They don't welcome us, and we can't afford to offend them. Indochina belongs to the French. There are many Catholics in France, but now neither the president nor the prime minister believe in Christianity. , Damn it! We can't afford to offend them now. And there is East India... East India, this is the territory of the Dutch, maybe we can take the bait.

"Netherlands? Is this country easy to mess with?" Qin Zhiyuan pretended to be naive.

"If it were the 17th century, the Dutch would indeed be difficult to deal with, but now, they don't even dare to participate in a world war. How much confidence can they have?" Ryder said with contempt when he mentioned the Dutch.

Among European countries, the Netherlands has the most intense resistance to Catholicism. As early as the sixteenth century, a German named "Martin Luther" launched a religious reform movement. At that time, a large number of Martin Lutherans and Calvinists were born in the Netherlands. The rulers of the Netherlands at that time were Spanish. In order to suppress the Protestant forces in the Netherlands, the Spanish massacred many Dutch Protestants.

The Netherlands' national power was on the rise at the time, and it was unwilling to be controlled by the Spanish, so it launched the "80 Years War" for independence. So far, the number of Catholics and Protestants in the Netherlands is about the same, making it the hardest-hit area where Catholicism has suffered a secular decline in Europe.

"Okay then, let's take the Dutch East Indies as our target. When are you going to set off?" Qin Zhiyuan got his wish.

"After a period of time, at least until you go to the Vatican to be awarded a medal, then your people can legitimately follow the missionaries to the Dutch East Indies." Ryder's abacus was good.

"Then, I will confirm my itinerary as soon as possible and go to the Vatican." Qin Zhiyuan said casually.

"Oh my god, if other people get the chance to meet the Pope, they will cry and crawl over, but you still have to take the time..." Ryder looked helpless.

"God, haven't you seen how busy I am now?" Qin Zhiyuan was lazy.

"Yes, you are really busy, busy trying to please your girlfriend, busy trying to please your former boss who has lost power, busy trying to please your mother-in-law, and even busy trying to please your girlfriend's pet. You are really busy, God, how can you possibly be so busy." Reid said with disdain.

"God said: It is wrong to criticize others!" Qin Zhiyuan said without hesitation.

"Did God say that?" Reid is a great expert.

"God is in your heart, you can ask him." Qin Zhiyuan is idealistic.

This answer is a matter of opinion. Reid Auerbach did not speak for a long time, probably really asking the God in his heart.

"Okay, let's do this for now. If there is any problem, we can communicate at any time." Qin Zhiyuan nodded and prepared to take Napoleon out for a walk. Napoleon was already very anxious.

The lights in the confessional were dim, and the ceiling was extremely high. It felt very depressing to be in it. This place is meant for people to confess, to make people feel the majesty and magnanimity of God, so this atmosphere is deliberately created, so that people can't help but feel the breath of God when they are in it, and sincerely analyze their hearts and express their thoughts, so that their souls can be baptized.

But for a dog, Napoleon is not used to such an environment. From the moment he came in, Napoleon was humming. Although he squatted beside Qin Zhiyuan's legs and didn't leave, his four legs were fiddling in the same place, and his expectant eyes made Qin Zhiyuan very anxious.

Napoleon would rather stay outside in the ice and snow than stay here.

It is said that this is a confession room, and two people and a dog are hiding in it to discuss some shameful things. It's really not a human being.
