Vatican City is an ancient city. The area here is not very large, but it is built on a mountain. There is a huge temple on the top of the mountain, which can also be called a church. This church is very huge. He
The whole body is made of stones. These stones are all white, but after years of wind and rain, the white on the stones has some black marks, but it looks more simple and elegant.
This is the holy place in the hearts of all Mother Goddess Church believers in the Steel World. This is the main court of the Mother Goddess Church. It is a place with a very special status. No Grand Duke can rule here because it belongs to the Mother Goddess Church.
People often say that the cathedral was used first, and then the Vatican City was built. This is not true at all. The cathedral was the first to be built here, and the Vatican City was built after believers gathered later.
, and this is also the foundation of the Mother Goddess Church.
All the people here in Vatican City are the staunchest believers of the Mother Goddess Church, the temple knights of the Mother Goddess Church, as well as ascetic monks and forbearance monks. Most of them are almost all born here, and they can be owned by the Mother Goddess Church.
The essence of the world is all concentrated here. People here can give everything to the Mother Goddess Church at any time, including their own lives.
In a room behind the cathedral, an old man in gorgeous robes sat there quietly. In front of him stood a man who looked to be in his fifties. He was wearing an archbishop's robe.
Clothes, but in front of this old man, he seemed very careful, kept his head down, and carefully reported: "The Merchant Alliance has officially withdrawn its 300,000 troops today. These 300,000 troops
From today on, we have officially become workers. This matter has a great impact on us. Although our previous concessions have prevented those grand princes from deliberately targeting us, but because of the concessions of the merchant alliance, those grand princes have no intention of targeting us.
The favor is still greater than ours, and our attempt to use the business alliance to attract the attention of those great princes did not succeed."
The old man pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although the Merchant Alliance withdrew its troops, it has strengthened commercial cooperation, and those princes need money if they want to develop their own power, so they have a greater favorable impression of the Merchant Alliance, and
The more it is at this time, the less we can take any action, otherwise it will definitely trigger a counterattack from those princes. So, you go down and make arrangements now. Aren't the ghosts and monsters everywhere been suppressed by us before? We are not prepared now.
Suppress it and let those ghosts come out to make trouble. We suppress it appropriately, but not like before. Let the princes know what our Mother Goddess Church has done in these years. When they have a headache,
We are taking action, and by then they will have changed a lot, and starting from today, we must also make some changes, and we also need to make more money."
The bishop responded, and the old man said in a deep voice: "Now that the princes have united with the merchant alliance, we need to be patient. If we really force ourselves to do it, our losses will only be greater, so we must be patient now.
We were a little too hasty before, but now we have to slow down. If we want to deal with those Grand Dukes and the Merchant Alliance, it is not a matter of a day or two. We must be prepared for a long-term battle."
The bishop responded, and the old man nodded, and then said: "Okay, go down and prepare, and give the order. We must be patient, but we cannot relax the training of the temple knights, and the number will increase.
At the same time, the training of ascetic monks and ninja monks cannot be reduced, but must be increased."
The bishop responded, then bowed to the Pope, and then exited the room. The old man stood up, walked to the window, looked at the Vatican City outside the window, and murmured: "Don't worry, we
Don’t worry, the Mother Goddess Church has existed for so many years. We rely on the power of faith, while the Merchant Alliance relies on interests. Sometimes faith is stronger than interests."
At this time, Zhao Hai was sitting in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the city. To be honest, this island is really big, very big. In Zhao Hai's opinion, the area of this island is already larger than
The combined area of the several princely territories in the Steel World is even larger, but there are no people here, so it looks very desolate.
The climate on this island is not very good. It is very hot all the time. There are no four seasons on the island. There are only two seasons, the dry season and the rainy season. I heard that in the dry season here, there is not a drop of rain for several months.
It won't rain, plants will die, animals will die of thirst, and during the rainy season, it will rain every day and not a day will be sunny. To be honest, this season is really a headache.
However, Zhao Hai felt that it was nothing. From the moment he was born, people have to fight against nature instead of obeying nature. If people also obeyed nature, then they would not be human anymore, and people would not be what they are today. He
He is very satisfied with this place. It has a large area and few people. But the most important thing is that there are already various factories here. If he wants to conduct experiments here, it is also a good choice.
What makes Zhao Hai most happy is that there are alien beasts here. You must know that the number of alien beasts in the Iron World is very small, but there are many here. These alien beasts may not be as good as the alien beasts on Troll Island.
So powerful, but there are indeed strange beasts, and these strange beasts are much more powerful than ordinary beasts.
The carriage entered a manor. The environment in this manor was very good. There were trees planted around it. Those trees were all big-bellied bottle trees. Moreover, a large pond was built in the manor, which contained a lot of water.
Many wells have also been drilled, and the manor has its own grain-producing land, but it is mainly used for grazing, with many livestock and specialized cowboys.
There are many rooms in the manor, and several small buildings have been built. However, the area of the small buildings is not very large. They are all ordinary small buildings. The highest one is only three floors. There are also several small buildings being built.
This is Zhao Hai's base, and Zhao Hai is very satisfied with it.
Zhao Hai and his carriage entered the manor very smoothly. Will immediately greeted him and opened the door for Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai, Liu Quan and Xiang'er got off the carriage, and Will immediately saluted Zhao Hai.
He said: "Sir, I wonder if you are satisfied with the environment on the island?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said: "I'm very satisfied. You can write to Mr. Karl and the others and tell them that this place can be used as our base, but he must send some people here. Our observations these days have also found that
, There are several huge metal mines here, and people are needed to mine them. With those metal mines, it will be very beneficial to the factory we want to build." Zhao Hai conducted an inspection of the island these days,
He was still very satisfied with the result.
Will responded, and Zhao Hai took a look inside the manor, and then said: "Have all arrangements been made for the workers who are coming? We must make arrangements for them. If their hearts cannot be stable, it will be very difficult for us.
It will have a great impact on future work.”
Will quickly said: "Sir, please rest assured that everything has been arranged, and their families will be picked up soon. Everything is fine." Zhao Hai nodded after hearing what he said, and then
Walking into the room, he said as he walked: "Next we will start testing the machine gun we have tested, then the artillery, then the tank, these things must be tested first, and finally the aircraft, and
Battleship, of course, during this process, we must continue to test the reduction of the pressurized cabin. Although the pressurized cabin is now very small, the effect is still not satisfactory to us."
Will responded, and Zhao Hai continued: "By the way, what news is there in the steel world recently?" Zhao Hai really wanted to know what news there was in the steel world now, which made him very curious.
I really want to know how far the situation in the Steel World has developed now. You must know that when they left the Steel World, the Mother Goddess Church in Haizhou City suffered a huge blow, and I don’t know what it is like now.
Will immediately told Zhao Hai about the things in the steel world, all the way to the final decision of the business alliance. After Zhao Hai listened to Will's words, he also arrived in his study room and sat down.
Then he sighed softly and said: "Mr. Karl and the others are all far-sighted people. This is a good move. The merchant alliance has always had no foundation of its own, or their foundation is too shallow, but now they have
We have shifted our attention to the islands and are preparing to develop them. This is a good move. As long as all these islands are developed, the merchant alliance will have a foundation. By then, they will be able to advance, attack, retreat and defend. This is amazing."
Will had a smile on his face and didn't say anything, but he was still very happy to hear Zhao Hai praising Carl and the others. Zhao Hai looked at him and smiled slightly: "I have recently been researching a method that can transmit information quickly.
The message method, but it is just an idea now. It is really hard to say when it will be realized. You should not report this matter yet, because it is just an idea now and there is no direction. We still put the main
Strength, put it into our original plan, these are things we will study in the future."
Will responded, and Zhao Hai said in a deep voice: "Has the laboratory been completed? I'm going to start testing tomorrow. By the way, the laboratory here must be built, and most importantly, it must be moisture-proof.
You have to do it well, when the rainy season comes here, it’s no joke.”
Will immediately said: "Sir, please don't worry. I have asked the old man who has lived here for several years before that the construction of the houses here requires some special shapes, which are more conducive to moisture-proofing. We have also made plans in this regard."
After all the hard work, sir, there is no need to worry."
Although Will and the others have not experienced the rainy season here, they have heard people say that they are still very afraid of the rainy season here. If the rainy season really comes and their rooms are not moisture-proof, the consequences will be real.
It's very serious. If one thing is not done well, all their previous experiments will be ruined, so they still pay great attention to this aspect.
