Western weapons are larger in size and look very intimidating. They require considerable strength to use. Although they are powerful enough, they are often clumsy. Eastern weapons are known for their sophistication. But if they are used against force, they are definitely not Western. Weapon opponent.
Both have their own strengths. It's hard to tell which one is better and which one is worse.
The Holy See and the Illuminati are both from the West. The habit of using weapons is naturally Western. The Eastern members of both have inherited this habit. It is normal not to choose other weapons. It cannot be said to be wrong. At least for now. Chen Mo et al. People are difficult for Ling Cang to deal with.
Ling Cang felt that his physical strength was gradually exhausted. The injuries on his body occurred from time to time. Under the interference of Chen Mo's thoughts, his movements became slower and slower. If he continued, he was afraid of being killed on the spot. Ling Cang had to leave temporarily.
But Chen Mo and his men surrounded Ling Cang tightly. There was no room for escape. Ling Cang gradually became desperate. The only consolation was that Ling Lan could feel the huge power fluctuation and rushed over to help.
However, it was always quiet in the teacher's apartment. Linglan probably went shopping again. Who knows Lingcang's situation at this time?
Seniority must be considered everywhere. The same goes for the Holy See, which has a serious bureaucracy. Even within the same level, seniority must be ranked.
The Holy See's power was previously in China. Except for Ling Cang, the highest person in charge was Li Pingwei. Now it has been replaced by Dai Yunjie. In fact, Luo Chun's qualifications are slightly higher than Dai Yunjie. It was just because the Illuminati was secretly released some time ago. The cardinal was unwilling to appoint him. With heavy responsibility.
After Dai Yunjie got familiar with the situation, he formally started arranging work. This morning, he just went out to do errands when an extended Lincoln drove slowly over.
The car stopped. A man in a suit got out and asked very respectfully: "Excuse me, are you Bishop Dai?"
Li Pingwei has been in China for some time and is known by many people. As soon as he arrived, someone came to his door. Dai Yunjie immediately became alert: "Who are you?"
"Please rest assured. I mean no harm." The other party raised his hands and said with a smile on his face: "It's just our... president who wants to talk to you."
"President."
"You'll know when you get in the car." The other party walked to the back door. After opening it, he respectfully made a "please" gesture.
Without some courage and brains, it is absolutely impossible for Dai Yunjie to replace Li Pingwei. Seeing that there was only one person in charge, Dai Yunjie became more courageous and sat in with a big show.
There was only an old man in the car, wearing a gray kimono. He was leisurely sipping tea. When he saw Dai Yunjie, he slowly stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, Bishop Dai. I, Miyamoto Tessaki."
"Miyamoto Tsuzaki." Dai Yunjie felt as if he had heard this name somewhere. But he couldn't remember it for a moment: "You are..."
"The current president of the Kikusui Club."
"I remembered. One of the Three Feathered Birds of Ju Shui. The supreme commander of the Imperial Priest." Dai Yunjie smiled coldly: "What do you want from me?"
“Mr. Enemies. In fact, even if we are friends, it is not a bad idea. Don’t forget that when the Holy See launched the Apocalypse War, we, the Kikusui-kai, immediately sent the highest-level Liuhe Ninja to assist in the battle."
"That's true..." Dai Yunjie nodded and then said, "But we have no contact after all. It's a bit unexpected that you came to the door so rashly."
"I'm sorry. I also know that this is too abrupt. It's just..." Miyamoto Tsusaki shook his head helplessly: "The current situation is not very optimistic. If I send someone to send a greeting message first and then arrange a time to meet... I'm afraid Someone is about to intervene."
"So what if you intervene? Do you have something shameful you want to tell me?"
"Whether you can meet people or not depends on who you are." After a pause, Miyamoto Tsusaki reminded meaningfully: "You should know the history between us and the Illuminati."
"Heard something."
"Then Bishop Dai is not afraid of the Illuminati taking action."
"So..." Dai Yunjie was very smart. He immediately realized: "You want to form an alliance with me."
"That's right." Miyamoto Tsusaki nodded immediately: "The biggest opponent of the Holy See is the Illuminati. We are the same. We have common interests and needs. In addition, there has been cooperation in history. There seems to be no reason why we can't unite again. Together."
Whether a person or a thing can succeed often depends on how many allies there are. It also depends on how many powerful allies there are. So smart people will not make enemies everywhere, but will only build more allies for themselves.
The Holy See canonized Ling Cang. It is for this reason. Although the Ju Shui Society is a bit waning, it is still a force that cannot be ignored. It seems that it should win over its own side. But things are not that simple.
The activities of the Kikusui Society are limited to Asia. Sometimes they also extend their tentacles to Europe and the United States. They have had a bad reputation for many years. Although the Holy See has no direct contact with them, several departments such as the Eastern Holy Ministry have known about this for a long time.
The Holy See has an innate sense of sacred mission and is not willing to associate with people or organizations with bad reputations. Therefore, if the two could cooperate, they should have formed an alliance after the Apocalypse War that year.
Dai Yunjie considered this and immediately shook his head: "I don't think it's necessary."
"Why."
Dai Yunjie didn't want to offend Miyamoto Tetsaki, so he said it tactfully: "The Holy See has enough power to deal with the Illuminati.
"With all due respect, the Holy See is certainly powerful. But if it really had the ability, I'm afraid it would have wiped out the Illuminati thousands of years ago. At least, during the last Apocalypse War, there would be no need to post hero posts widely and invite superpowers from all over the world to join us. Attack."
"Even if the Holy See has shortcomings, it does not mean that we must form an alliance with you." Dai Yunjie curled his lips and said uncomfortably: "You believe in Shintoism. After all, it is different from our belief."
"Faith is only one aspect. The Chinese have a saying. I deeply believe it... seek common ground while reserving differences. I believe the Holy See thinks so too. Otherwise, it would not have sent hero posts to pagans back then." After a pause, Miyamoto Tessaki hit the nail on the head. Pointed out: "The reason why Bishop Dai refused was because he heard some rumors that were not conducive to our Ju Shui Society."
"That's right. There is this reason." Now that the other party had spoken, Dai Yunjie admitted without hesitation: "If I'm right, the highest goal of the Kikusui Society is to annex the entire Asia to establish an imperial regime in the Pacific. One of the reasons why the war broke out was your secret promotion. As for the Illuminati, the goal is to wipe out all pagans and establish a kingdom of heaven on earth..."
"What you mean is that there is no essential difference between us and the Illuminati."
"That's right." Dai Yunjie nodded: "Any behavior that attempts to impose one's own beliefs on others is evil."
"If someone else said this, I have nothing to say. But if it comes from the mouth of the Holy See, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Miyamoto Tsuzaki was not forgiving. He immediately retorted: "In history, the Holy See has once It vigorously annihilated heretics and burned witches. It also pushed the feudal lords of Western Europe to form a crusade to conquer the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. It used force to promote its own beliefs. In addition, the Holy See did not allow any views that were incompatible with doctrine to exist. .As a result, the sprout of modern science was suppressed. For example, Bruno was burned alive in Rome because he insisted on the heliocentric theory..."
"So what." Dai Yunjie did not feel ashamed about these things: "Those are all in the past. The Holy See has realized its mistakes and worked hard to avoid repeating them."
"Yes. I admit it." After a pause, Miyamoto Tsusaki said slowly: "The development of human history has taken many detours. Every country, nation and religion has its past of ignorance and barbarism. Fortunately, Yes, we can gain experience and lessons from it and avoid making the same mistakes. Since Bishop Dai has such confidence in the Holy See, why does he look at Ju Shui differently?"
"this……"
"Is it just because Bishop Dai serves the Holy See but is not a member of our Kikusui Society?"
It's normal to eat from someone's family and speak from someone's family. But as far as the topic we are talking about right now, things don't seem to be that simple.
The Holy See has always boasted that it is bright and just and will never adopt double standards based on other people's beliefs. Therefore, as a member of the Holy See, Dai Yunjie should measure others by the standards by which the Holy See views itself.
Miyamoto Tetsaki saw this clearly, which made Dai Yunjie feel ashamed: "You mean, today's Kikusui Society is no longer the same as in the past."
"What the Kikusui Society is pursuing now is to continuously improve the status of our country and nation and make our Japanese country more prosperous. Bishop Dai should understand that in today's world, everyone is trying their best to make money and use the economy to conquer others. Only Stupid people will also think about expanding their territory and improving their status through pure force." Miyamoto Tsusaki did not answer this question directly. He always avoided the core of the question: "Today Japan is already the world's It is the second largest economy and has strong armaments. Has it ever launched a war with other countries?"
"What you said makes sense." Dai Yunjie said this, but he was very doubtful in his heart. Miyamoto Tessaki himself may be that kind of "stupid person". And Miyamoto Tessaki's words are very interesting. He just hinted that he didn't know how to use it. "Pure force". However, economic and political means supplemented by force are obviously not included in this category. In other words, Miyamoto Tsusaki did not deny the possibility of Japan's external expansion.
