"Haha, Pope Francis, we share weal and woe. And as for me, although I am not very fond of the church, I think that today's church, generally speaking, has made a huge contribution to mankind. So, I am very

I am happy to cooperate with you." Lin Fengxiao said.

Francis nodded slowly. During his contact with Lin Feng, he discovered some of Lin Feng's hostility towards the church. This made him a little worried about whether the cooperation with Lin Feng would be long-lasting and enjoyable. But now from Lin Feng's words

The answer he got reassured him a lot. Although Lin Feng admitted that he didn't like the church very much, he did not deny what the church was doing now. It was the basis for the comprehensive cooperation between the two people in these nine provinces.

"I can give you a few blessings. The first one is that I will announce that the Vatican will temporarily break off diplomatic relations with Japan and South Korea. Before they can explain clearly the conspiracy with Benedict XVI, the Vatican will permanently break off diplomatic relations with Japan and South Korea.

The two countries break off diplomatic relations!" Francis said.

Lin Feng's eyes lit up. This is a good idea. But behind Japan and South Korea is the United States, and the United States is the world's hegemon today. Its power cannot be affected by the church. Therefore, it is okay to blame, but it is very difficult to rely entirely on the church to severely punish Japan and South Korea.

Difficult. So, Lin Feng had an idea.

"I think it would be better for Pope Francis to ask the leaders of Japan and South Korea to come and apologize in person, and then give them a hard knock. Anyway, these two countries are rich, so instead of letting the matter end, it is better

Take the opportunity to extort some money from these two countries." Lin Feng suggested.

Pope Francis thought for a moment with his eyes closed and nodded.

"But you don't mind letting them go like this?" Francis asked.

"Haha, it doesn't matter if I don't let them go. As long as the United States is still around, their status is here. I'm afraid I won't get any benefits if I force it. So, instead of getting nothing in the end, it's better to get some.

Affordable." Lin Feng chuckled, "There is a saying in China that a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest. I will knock a little bit today and a little bit tomorrow. Over time, this will accumulate to a lot.

So, don’t rush it!”

Francis nodded.

"The other point is that on behalf of the church, I will announce the severance of diplomatic relations with Taiwan and decide on my next mission to China." Francis offered another extremely generous bargaining chip.

Although this was agreed upon before, it only refers to the severing of diplomatic relations with Taiwan. It does not say that Francis is going to China as an envoy, and it is the second stop. Of course, although this is the second stop in name, it is actually the third stop.

One stop. Because the Vatican is located in Italy, the first stop for any pope in history must be Italy. This is a sign of respect for Italy and respect for the history of the church.

Catholicism is one of the three major sects of Christianity. Its official name is "Roman Catholic Church" or "Roman Catholic Church". It is the church led by the Pope of Rome. The word Catholic is used to refer to the belief in the Roman Catholic theoretical system, including morality.

, holy sacrificial rituals and dogma, and Christian believers who completely obey the Holy See. It was originally founded by Jesus in Palestine. Early Christianity was brutally persecuted and suppressed by the Roman emperor. In 313 AD, Constantine, the emperor of the western Roman Empire

King Din I issued the "Edict of Milan" in Milan, declaring that Christianity could enjoy the same freedom as all other religions without discrimination. From then on, Christianity became an officially recognized legal religion.

In 1054 AD, due to the division of the Roman Empire into the Eastern and Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire church split from the Catholic Church and deew split away to form the Orthodox Church. The Catholic Church and its hierarchy, as a unique single church and system, were officially established. And to

Today, the number of Catholic believers in the world is approximately 1.21 billion (2011), accounting for 17.5% of the world's total population. There are 130 Catholic archdioceses, 628 dioceses, and 129 dioceses and vicariates around the world.

However, since the development of Catholicism, its headquarters has been in the Vatican and in Rome. It has become a custom for the new pope to visit the top leader in Rome (and later the top leader in Italy) as the first stop. Therefore, the new pope often cannot be seen at the first stop.

However, at the second stop, you can see the personal preferences of the new pope from the countries he visited. For example, Benedict XVI visited Germany. It is obvious that he has a good impression of Germany, and it can be inferred that he

This person will definitely be rigid and conservative. Usually the country he visits for the second time will be more or less affected by some favorable aspects of the new pope.

Germany's economy originally ranked fifth in the world, but after Benedict XVI became the new pope the year before last, Germany's economy once again ushered in a blowout period, making its economy surpass the United Kingdom in one fell swoop and become the fourth largest economy in the world. You must know

, Germany only has a population of more than 80 million and an area of ​​370,000 square kilometers. Among the world's top ten economies, that is, the top ten countries in terms of economy, Germany has the least land, 20,000 square kilometers less than Japan, and its population is also the same.

At least, it has a population of more than 40 million less than Japan. But Germany’s economy is the fourth in the world, which has to be said to be a miracle.

Although Germany's heavy industry has always been the strongest in the world, although it has experienced another rapid economic development after Benedict XVI came to power, which is related to its own quality and national potential, among them, Benedict XVI has

The sixth life did play a big role.

And now, after Francis became the new pope, he did not choose to go to his home country of Argentina as his second stop. Instead, he went to China, a country that had no previous international contacts with the church. This has to be said to be a serious problem.

Favor. At least after establishing diplomatic relations with the church, China's recognition in Western countries will be much higher, which is conducive to the investment of Chinese companies in Western countries. Don't forget that Western countries have always criticized China because they accuse China of lacking faith.

Country. A country without faith is extremely terrifying. At least in the Western perception, such a country is extremely terrifying.

But if China and the Church formally establish diplomatic relations, then in the Western people's perception, they will obviously think that China is not that extremely scary country, that kind of dictatorship that can do whatever it takes, exterminate humanity, and do anything. This perception

Changes in knowledge will bring about great changes in the establishment of diplomatic relations and trade between China and the West.

"Pope Francis, thank you very much for this." Lin Feng was surprised, "What about your conditions? There is no free lunch in the sky!"

Pope Francis smiled slightly. He was very satisfied with Lin Feng's attitude. He had studied Eastern culture, and in Eastern culture, Chinese culture occupies a very important position. Therefore, he had studied China. This country

, a lot of red tape, a lot of unnecessary politeness, and to a certain extent, this country has more etiquette than their church, but the church at least does things relatively directly, while in this country, everything needs to go around.

To go around, something that can be clearly explained in one sentence, but people in this country prefer to say seven or eight sentences before going around to this matter. This makes Francis very puzzled and difficult to understand.

He was very afraid that Lin Feng would be like this. If Lin Feng talked like this and went around in circles, he would really faint. Fortunately, Lin Feng is very straightforward. It is very easy to talk to straightforward people.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that not long ago, you just attended the 100th birthday of Mr. Run Run Shaw, the leader of the Hong Kong film and television industry, right?" Pope Francis asked.

Lin Feng nodded. But it was strange that Francis asked why. This Run Run Shaw didn't seem to believe in Catholicism. He believed more in Buddhism.

"Mr. Lin, how many people in this world do you think can live to be over 100 years old?" Francis asked.

Lin Feng shrugged. He really couldn't answer this question. There are no statistics on how many people have lived over a hundred years old, but they are definitely not many. Isn't there an old saying in China: Seventy years old is rare. Who can live to be seventy years old?

Yes, there are not many in ancient times. Including modern times, most people do not live to see Tathagata Buddha before they are seventy years old. Of course, there are also many people who live to be eighty, ninety, or even one hundred years old, but that

The base of the entire earth's population is extremely small. The vast majority are almost dead once they are over fifty. Especially in China, most of them die from various diseases. But Francis asked why? He was thinking

What to do?

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have a miracle doctor named Hua Shiqiu? Of course, I don't know if I spell it correctly. I only know a little bit about Chinese." Pope Francis said.

Hua Shiqi! When it comes to Hua Shiqi, Lin Feng can roughly understand what Francis wants to do. Obviously, it is either to see a doctor or to live longer.

"Yes, it's very accurate, it's called Hua Shiqi!" Lin Feng said with appreciation.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have also developed a functional drink called 'Qili', which can improve the vitality of the human body and keep you energetic. It is only distributed in China, right?" Pope Francis asked again.

At this time, Lin Feng could be sure that Francis' condition must be related to longevity.

"Pope Francis, your information is indeed accurate. What do you want? Just say it!" Lin Feng said.

"Mr. Lin, in the history of the church, no pope has lived more than a hundred years old, and I want to create this miracle. I hope to live more than a hundred years old. Now I am just 71 years old, and I hope I can at least live another year.

In 29 years, a history of the Church was created, leaving a name for the ages among the papal years of the Church." Pope Francis showed his ambition and said, "I hope I can become the first pope in the history of the Church to live over a hundred years old, and also be the first pope in the history of the Church to live over a hundred years old.
