"Bissary Leonard, welcome you. Your arrival makes our simple office shine." In his own office, Lucien welcomed Bissary Leonard.

Lucien said that his office was simple, which was not self-modest, because most of the time (not a few times a year) Lucien did not work here. Therefore, Lucien naturally didn't care about the decoration here. At some point, he could even use this relatively simple office to show his integrity.

Of course, the people of France believe in the integrity of the Bonaparte family. Although Bonaparte was in power, President Bonaparte and Minister Bonaparte were not low, their wages were all donated to help the poor in France. Besides, France knows that Bonaparte's family is very good at doing business, and their money is too much, so where can they use corruption?

Just like a mayor in the lighthouse of the lighthouse in the future, he did not get a salary, and even paid hundreds of millions of dollars to support various causes in Xinxiang, the Bonaparte family not only did not get a salary, but also kept paying money for various charitable causes. Of course, the Bonaparte family, like a mayor in Xinxiang, had a lot of money in this process. But this was all the money from the right way, and it was definitely not caused by corruption. By the way, corruption, how much money can be obtained? As long as you adjust the policy direction and make prescient economic preparations, you don’t know how much money you can make.

"Minister Bonaparte, I am honored to see you here. May God bless you," Bishop Leonard also responded.

"Mr. Bishop, you should have known before you come. After the Olympics, we will attack the Barbary pirates to rescue the Catholics who were kidnapped and sold as slaves. Mr. Bishop, you also know that these people have lived in North Africa for a long time, and they are not as good as death under the enslavement of evil pagans. They hope that the stars and the moon are hoped that we can rescue them from the enslavement of pagans, just as the farmers hope for dark clouds during a drought."

Hearing Lucien's exaggerated remarks, Bishop Leonard couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Indeed, in the past few hundred years, from the 16th century, Barbary pirates captured about 800,000 to 1.25 million European coastal residents by attacking ships and attacking coastal settlements and resold them to slaves. In the mid-17th century, this bold attack reached its peak. Coastal villages and towns in countries such as Spain and Italy were deeply disturbed, and residents moved inland, and people did not return to settle until the 19th century.

The French played a role in these disasters. In fact, the Barbary pirates were so rampant, largely because they were supported by France. The French opened the military port to replenish supplies to these pirates, helped them sell stolen goods, helped them build and repair ships, sold them weapons, provided them with intelligence, and even vacated the church of Catholic to pray for those pagans. Without the French, the harm of Barbary pirates could not have been so great. Now the French jumped out to pretend to be a savior, which is really... I have never seen such a shameless person!

As if seeing Bishop Leonard's idea, Lucien said: "When the Bourbon tyrants ruled France, they not only did not stop such atrocities, but instead defiled their hearts by Mamen. In order to gain the benefits of the pirates, they betrayed God and the vast devout French people. They were not worthy of calling themselves Catholics at all. I think the Holy See should consider this matter carefully and announce the expulsion of the remnants of the Bourbons who were exiled to the church."

"The Bourbon guys are certainly not good things, but aren't you continuing to maintain ally with Turkey now?" Bishop Leonard thought in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The church is kind and fair. We will initiate an investigation of the exiles in the Bourbon. Only when the evidence is conclusive will we adopt such extreme practices."

Lucien also expressed his understanding of this, and then he said: "Although the things that support the pirates of Barbary were all caused by those tyrants. The French Republic's government has never done such a thing that goes against conscience. But we still feel that we have a moral responsibility in this matter. Therefore, we hope to work with the Holy See to liberate the people of God who have fallen into North Africa.

But Mr. Bishop, you also know that these Christians who are in trouble have lived in North Africa for a long time, and their family businesses are all in North Africa. It is irresponsible to let them leave North Africa. North Africa is the territory of the Turks. France does not want to expand or invade territory. This violates France's principles.

So even if we liberate those poor Christian slaves, they will still stay in North Africa. However, these poor Christians, our poor brothers, have been in the hands of pagans for hundreds of years. Although they still retain their pious belief in Jesus Christ, because of the lack of guidance from the church, there are always doubts and even going astray in some things. Therefore, we need to establish an orthodox church in North Africa to guide those Lambs of God."

Bishop Leonard knew that this was the point. So he asked, "Of course, the Holy See is willing to help these lost lambs. But what can the Holy See do in the land of pagans?"

"We have already negotiated with the Sudan that France has the right to lease ports in the original Barbary countries, mine minerals, and build railways affiliated to the mines. In the leased ports, as well as along the mines and railways, France will have the power to build new churches and station certain troops.
