Before Zhou Qingfeng arrived in Salt Lake City to hold the 'North American Security Summit', preliminary preparations had already been carried out by representatives from the Legion's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Brotherhood of Steel. Since the goods required by both parties were highly complementary, the negotiations went smoothly.
During the negotiations, Xie Guozhong participated as a representative of the legion. He is currently mainly responsible for sorting out the negotiation data. In two days there will be a leader signing ceremony, representing the legion and the brotherhood to reach a formal business relationship.
"John, do you want to go to church to pray later?"
Xie Guozhong's English name is John, and he had frequent exchanges with people from the Brotherhood during this period. Everyone was scrupulous about negotiations, but the personal relationship was still good. Now a pastor from the Mormon Church invited him.
There are many similar invitations, and the Brotherhood is trying to win over the legion's negotiators. After all, the current volume of business contracts is astronomical. Just modify it after the decimal point, and a small concession can be a huge benefit.
The Brotherhood needs a lot of various light industrial products, clothing, shoes and hats, electromechanical machinery, plastic products, paper products, medicines, food and so on. The Legion also needs a lot of things. For example, Zhou Qingfeng is open to purchasing various civil aviation aircraft.
The United States has an extremely developed civil aviation system, with the number of civil aviation aircraft reaching 20,000 to 30,000. Zhou Qingfeng took away only a small part of them before, but even this small part is already playing a big role.
Zhou Qingfeng has decided to expand the cargo system of his "Singapore Airlines". He really wants to build thousands of regional cargo planes for transportation - it does not involve passenger transport anyway. In addition, there are countries to help cover up, and he can even deliberately take off and land at certain small airports.
, it is difficult for outsiders to find out the secrets.
Because of such a huge demand, the legion supervises the negotiators very strictly. However, the basic treaty has been finalized, and Zhou Qingfeng also gave his men a holiday to rest.
Hearing that the representative of the Mormon Church invited him to the church, Xie Guozhong hesitated for a moment. There are actually many kinds of churches that regard Jesus as the boss, and there are even some conflicts between them. He is not a Mormon, but it is the end of the world now, so
Not so particular.
"Okay." Xie Guozhong nodded, and even said with a smile: "Actually, I haven't prayed for a long time."
Zhou Qingfeng, an atheist, is the boss, and under his rule all believers in God are suppressed. All the women around him are believers, but they never dare to talk about religion in front of him, let alone others.
Xie Guozhong had not stepped into a church door for a long time. When he followed people from the Mormon Church into a church, when the familiar tones of the pipe organ sounded, and when the ethereal hymns were floating, he immediately felt as if his whole body was bathed in the glory of the Lord.
Then, the spirit was cleansed.
Under the solemn environment, Xie Guozhong burst into tears...
And when His Majesty Adams of the Mormon Church happened to come to this church to lead believers in prayer, Xie Guozhong rushed forward, lay at the feet of the leader and kissed his shoes.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy that I finally returned to the embrace of the Lord. I am a Christian, my father is a Christian, my mother is a Christian, and our whole family is a Christian. I am originally from Los Angeles.
As a fourth generation Chinese, my devotion to the Lord is impeccable."
Seeing Xie Guozhong lying at his feet, His Majesty Adams was filled with emotion - after all, there are still a few stubborn guys like Victor Hugo, and there are still many loyal believers in the Holy Religion.
In order to engage in civilized confrontation with Zhou Qingfeng, the easiest way is to preach - so what if you dump more goods? I will convert all your people.
We cannot count on Zhou Qingfeng, a "stone in the pit", but there are too many believers in Christianity within the Aurora Legion. The main body of the Legion is originally composed of a large number of white people, and there are also many Asians who are believers.
In order to break down the fortress of the Legion, it is most convenient to find a spokesperson from within. Regardless of his eighty-year-old age, His Majesty Adams personally came out to influence the lamb. As a result, the first lamb immediately fell to his knees.
This is so comforting….
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." Adams read a passage from the Bible in a low and deep tone, then personally pulled Xie Guozhong up and stroked his head.
Xie Guozhong cried like a child. When Adams read a sentence, he half-kneeled and repeated it. This touching scene lasted for a while, and then His Majesty got to the point and said: "John, you should be strong and find your own church members.
Encourage them to come to church more and pray to the Lord."
As long as he came to church, Adams had plenty of ways to change people's minds. That's what he did.
Xie Guozhong nodded with tears in his eyes, "We do have many church members who hope to return to the embrace of the Lord and listen to your teachings. But... can you give us some help?"
Adams's majesty was holy and kind, but he complained a little in his heart: "I am just a fool who deceives people. The biggest help I can give people is to give them bowls of chicken soup for the soul. I don't have anything else."
"John, I will encourage you, watch you, and watch over you in the name of the Lord, making you strong against temptation, and brave enough to never shrink back. It is your responsibility to spread the gospel of the Lord, and you should be fearless even if the road is full of thorns.
not afraid."
What His Majesty Adams means is..., "I have nothing here except the chicken soup for the soul that deceives people. As a believer, if you ask me for help, then it is your fault."
So Xie Guozhong cried louder, "Your Majesty, we really need help. Now many people's faith is wavering and collapsing. They no longer believe that the Lord can save them. They even fight for a meal of food, a glass of water, and a bed."
Sell your soul.
There are fewer and fewer people who insist on praying. Once the seeds of unbelief sprout in their hearts, their fear of the Lord will soon disappear. We must stop this!"
Xie Guozhong's meaning is very clear - just drinking chicken soup for the soul will not make us full, we need something real, otherwise we can't do anything.
"This is indeed a disaster. The situation we are currently facing is unprecedented." Adams's face remained kind, but his tone became weak. It seemed that just feeding chicken soup for the soul was really not enough. "I am happy to help you.
.Tell me, what can I do for you?"
Xie Guozhong immediately became energetic, "Can you allow the Legion to open up freedom of religious belief?"
"We cannot interfere in the affairs of the legion. This is our agreement with your legion commander." Adams shook his head helplessly and thought to himself: If we can do this, why should we look to you? We will go preach ourselves.
"Can you provide us believers with material conveniences? For example, subsidies for daily necessities." Xie Guozhong asked again, "If there are benefits to being religious, I believe everyone is still willing to return to the embrace of the Lord."
Adams continued to shake his head, thinking to himself: "We all rely on the Aurora Legion to provide goods now, how can we give you anything for free?"
After being rejected for two consecutive requests, Xie Guozhong could only grit his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to join the Mormon Church. I heard that the church allows polygamy. Can you arrange several wives for me?"
Grandma is such a bear..., Your Excellency is furious - these Chinese people want to talk about benefits in everything they believe in, even those who are devout in faith. This is really hopeless. I really want to send them to hell!
