The benefit of being the Grand Master of the Knights Templar is not just to have a butler who only knows how to manage money, there are many more benefits waiting for Qin Zhiyuan to discover.
In the evening, Smith Anthony, the current international secretary-general of the Knights Templar, visited Qin Zhiyuan. Qin Zhiyuan learned more about the situation of the Knights Templar.
Since Bonaparte and Napoleon came to Europe, the Knights Templar have been suppressed by almost all of Europe, so much so that by 20 years ago, the Knights Templar could not even retain a nominal grand master, but only had a so-called international secretary-general.
Responsible for handling general affairs.
The Knights Templar are so powerful that they have aroused the vigilance of secular countries. With the support of the Knights Templar, even a boy like Napoleon, who came from a Corsican rebel family, could become the emperor of France. So if
What the Templars can do if they choose to support a more powerful figure is a question that all leaders of secular countries have to consider.
Today, the Knights Templar has branches in many countries, including France, the United Kingdom, the United States, and even Germany on the Allied side. There are branches of the Knights Templar. However, the glory of the Knights Templar is no longer there.
The Ministry does not seem to want to restore the former glory of the Knights Templar, but is stuck in its ways and not making progress. In some countries, the branches of the Knights Templar have even existed in name only.
At the same time, the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights, both three major knights, were also in a dormant period.
If the current Knights Templar is headquartered in France, then the Knights Hospitaller is headquartered in England, and the Teutonic Knights is headquartered in Germany. The three major knights are all looking for their agents in secular society.
I want to restore my former glory.
Now, the Knights Templar have selected Qin Zhiyuan, while the candidates for the Knights Hospitaller and the Teutonic Knights have not yet surfaced. It is estimated that they are still observing and looking for candidates they think have more potential.
So now do you understand, Your Excellency? Nominally, Smith and Qin Zhiyuan are at the same level. Therefore, Smith is looking at Qin Zhiyuan with a bit of scrutiny, and he is probably evaluating Qin Zhiyuan's potential.
Not a lot. Qin Zhiyuan thought for a while and basically understood what Smith meant: In other words, although I am the grand leader of the Knights Templar now, I cannot use the resources of the Knights Templar at will, because there are
It could lead to a boycott in secular countries, even in France.
Qin Zhiyuan was sitting behind the desk in the study room, and Smith was sitting opposite him.
Although it is a hotel, Qin Zhiyuan booked a suite with complete facilities. It has a study room, a gym, and even an independent kitchenette, allowing guests to show off their skills when needed.
That's pretty much it. The Knights Templar are powerful, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Even to make it easier for you, you have to keep a certain distance from the Holy See and the Knights Templar. Because once those secular countries or a certain
If some people discover your relationship with the Knights Templar, they may organize an anti-French alliance again. This is not surprising. More than a hundred years ago, the previous Grand Master of the Knights Templar, His Excellency Napoleon.
After experiencing seven such sieges, Smith put on a sincere attitude.
Napoleon in history was indeed besieged seven times by the anti-French alliance. Qin Zhiyuan used to think that it was just because of the struggle between national interests, but he did not expect that there was this secret.
Perhaps those who participated in the siege of Napoleon were not just secular countries, but also the shadow of the Holy See, because Qin Zhiyuan noticed that Smith used certain people to refer to those who besieged Napoleon. These people may refer to the Hospital Knights
regiment and the Teutonic Knights.
After all, the British and Germans were the main forces besieging the anti-French alliance at that time, and the headquarters of the Knights Hospitallers was in Britain, while the headquarters of the Teutonic Knights was in Germany. This was simply a power struggle within the Holy See. Regarding these routines, Qin Zhiyuan was too
Familiar.
External factors were certainly an important reason for the collapse of countless dynasties in Chinese history, because the consumption caused by internal fighting was the fundamental reason. The current Holy See is obviously a dynasty that is about to collapse. It has been resisted by the entire secular country, but
They are still fighting each other and increasing internal friction. If you don't seek death, you won't die.
This also fully explains why Benedict XV handed over the Knights Templar to Qin Zhiyuan.
This was a life after death. Benedict XV did not want to see the three major knights destroyed by self-consumption, so he chose Qin Zhiyuan to add vitality to the Holy See.
If there are no unexpected factors, then the three major knights will perish like in another time and space, and the Holy See will lose all its rights. Of course, maybe they are not destroyed. The three major knights are still looking for potential spokespersons. Who knows
Woolen cloth
So for me, what can I get now? Since I have been given such an arduous task, I must be given enough support. Qin Zhiyuan wants benefits. If he wants the horse to run, he must at least be fed first.
You can use all the resources belonging to the Knights Templar at will. Of course, some resources still need to be coordinated by you, such as the resources in the United States. The Knights Templar did support Morgan and the others, but this does not mean that the Knights Templar
The group owns the Morgan Consortium. The Morgan Consortium can provide you with convenience in some aspects and can even fund you with part of the funds. However, it is impossible for them to use all their assets to fund your business. They may even fund other projects that they think have potential at the same time.
People, you need to understand this. Smith confirmed Qin Zhiyuan's authority.
Of course, I understand this. Qin Zhiyuan agrees.
Qin Zhiyuan did not expect that the Knights Templar would own the Morgan Consortium. Before the world war, Morgan and his allies had total assets of US$51 billion, accounting for a quarter of the assets of the United States. If the Knights Templar owned the Morgan Consortium,
, they won’t go to great lengths to find Qin Zhiyuan, they can buy the whole world with money.
But as the grand leader of the Knights Templar, you already have enviable resources, such as the navy for which you came to Rome this time. Why can't you think differently? For example, you can have an independent navy.
.Smith proposed another possibility.
Navy Qin Zhiyuan's heart was pounding.
It's difficult. I may have enough assets to purchase a fleet, but I don't have enough manpower to operate them. You know, the navy is different from the army. It's not just someone who can be put to use. Qin Zhiyuan is very unwilling.
.
Qin Zhiyuan was not willing to come to Rome and pretend to be a grandson. He had indeed considered owning a navy. In that case, Qin Zhiyuan would also face greater difficulties.
The navy is different from the army. It is more professional and requires a longer training period. Even if Qin Zhiyuan starts to work now, he may not be able to participate in the world war.
As the grand master of the Knights Templar, you don't have to worry about sailors. This is the charm of the Knights Templar. Smith smiled.
If you think about Pierre's yearning for the Knights Templar, you can understand the status of the Knights Templar in the hearts of Europeans.
