Chapter 1672: Chicken Soup for the Soul
Before Zhou Qingfeng arrived in Salt Lake City to hold the "North American Security Summit", the preliminary preparation work had already been discussed with the Brotherhood of Steel by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Legion. Fast updates and no ads. As the commodities needed by both sides are highly complementary, the negotiation went smoothly.
During the negotiations, Xie Guozhong participated as a representative of the legion, and he is currently mainly responsible for sorting out the data of the negotiations. There will be a leader signing ceremony in two days, representing the Legion and the Brotherhood to reach a formal business relationship.
"John, do you want to go to church and say a prayer later?"
Xie Guozhong's English name is John, and he communicated frequently with members of the fraternity during this time. Everyone cares about negotiating, but the personal relationship is still good. Right now a pastor from the Mormon Church invited him.
There are many similar invitations, and the brotherhood has a lot to win over the legion's negotiators. After all, the current volume of business contracts can be called astronomical, and any modification after the decimal point, a slight concession is a huge benefit.
Brotherhood needs all kinds of light industrial goods, clothing, shoes and hats, electromechanical machinery, plastic products, paper products, medicines, food and so on. And what the legion needs is also huge, for example, Zhou Qingfeng is open to buying various civil aviation airliners.
The United States has an extremely developed civil aviation system, with the number of civil aviation passenger aircraft reaching 20,000 to 30,000. Zhou Qingfeng took away only a small part of it before, but this small part has already played a big role.
Zhou Qingfeng decided to expand the cargo system of his 'Singapore Airlines'. He really wanted to set up thousands of regional cargo planes for transportation. Anyway, it didn't involve passenger transportation. In addition, some countries helped to cover it up. They even took off and landed at certain small airports on purpose. Outsiders It is difficult to discover its secrets.
Because of such a huge demand, the legion's supervision of negotiators is also very strict. However, the basic treaties have already been finalized, and Zhou Qingfeng also gave his subordinates a vacation to rest.
Hearing that the representatives of the Mormon Church invited him to the church, Xie Guozhong hesitated a little. There are actually many kinds of churches that regard Jesus as the boss, and there are even some contradictions among them. He's not a Mormon, but now it's the end of the world, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.
"Okay." Xie Guozhong nodded, and even smiled: "Actually, I haven't attended church 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 were religious, but they never dared to talk about religion in front of him, let alone other people.
Xie Guozhong has not stepped into the gate of a church for a long time. When he followed the Mormons into a church, when the familiar pipe organ sounded, and when the ethereal hymns were floating, he immediately felt as if he was bathed in the glory of the Lord. under,
The spirit was washed again.
Under the solemn environment, Xie Guozhong burst into tears...
And when Adams of the Mormon Church "coincidentally" came to this church to lead the believers to pray, Xie Guozhong even rushed forward, lying at the feet of the leader and kissing his shoes.
"My lord, I'm so happy that I'm finally back in the arms of the Lord again. I'm a Christian, my dad is a Christian, my mom is a Christian, my whole family is a Christian. I'm originally from Los Angeles As a fourth-generation Chinese, my devotion to the Lord is impeccable."
Seeing Xie Guozhong lying at his feet, Adams was filled with emotion. After all, there are still a few stubborn guys like Victor Hugo, and there are still many, many loyal believers in the Holy Church.
In order to engage in civilized confrontation with Zhou Qingfeng, the easiest way is to teach you how to sell more products? I transformed all of you.
You can't count on Zhou Qingfeng's "stone in the latrine", but there are too many Christians in the Aurora Legion. The main body of the legion is originally a large number of whites, and even many Asians are believers.
In order to break through the fortress of the legion, it is most convenient to find a spokesperson from the inside. Regardless of his eighty-year-old age, Adams personally came out to influence the lamb, and as a result, the first lamb immediately bowed down.
This is so comforting….
"God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." Adams read a passage from the Bible in a low and deep tone, and pulled Xie Guozhong up and stroked the top of his head with his own hands.
Xie Guozhong cried like a child. When Adams read a sentence, he would repeat it while half kneeling. This touching scene lasted for a while, and His Majesty started to get to the point and said: "John, you should be strong, go find your church members, and encourage them to come to church to pray to the Lord more often."
As long as he came to the church, Adams had a lot of ways to change people's thinking. That's what he does.
Xie Guozhong nodded with tears in his eyes, "We do have many believers who hope to return to the embrace of the Lord and listen to your teachings. But... can you give us some help?"
Adams is holy and kind, but he complained a little in his heart: "I am a fool. The greatest help is to give bowls of chicken soup for the soul. I don't have anything else."
"John, I will encourage you, watch over you, watch over you in the name of the Lord, make you strong and not tempted, make you brave and never shrink back. It is your responsibility to spread the gospel of the Lord, even if the road is full of thorns, you should be fearless not afraid."
The meaning of Adams' crown is..., "I have nothing here except chicken soup for fooling people's souls. As a believer, you ask me for help, and that's your fault."
So Xie Guozhong cried even louder, "Your Majesty, we really need help. Many people's faith is shaking and collapsing. They no longer believe that the Lord can save them. They even sacrifice for a meal, a glass of water, and a bed. Sell your soul.
Fewer and fewer are persevering in prayer, and as soon as the seeds of unbelief germinate in their hearts, their fear of the Lord soon dies away. We must stop all this! "
Xie Guozhong's meaning is very clear that just drinking chicken soup for the soul does not matter if we are full, we need something real, otherwise we can't do anything.
"This is indeed a disaster. The situation we are currently facing has never been seen before." Adams's face was still kind, but his tone became weak. It seems that it is really not enough to feed the soul chicken soup, "I am happy to help you . Tell me, what can I do for you?"
Xie Guozhong immediately came to his senses, "Can you let the legion open up the freedom of religious belief?"
"We can't interfere with the affairs of the legion. This is our agreement with your legion commander." Adams shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself: If we can do this, why should we ask you? We went to preach ourselves.
"Can you provide us believers with material convenience? For example, subsidies for daily necessities." Xie Guozhong asked again, "If it is beneficial to believe in religion, 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 I give you something for free?"
After being rejected for two consecutive requests, Xie Guozhong could only grit his teeth and say, "Your Majesty, I am willing to join the Mormon Church. I heard that the church allows polygamy. Can you arrange a few wives for me?"
Grandma is a bear... the honorable crown is angry. These Chinese people believe in everything and talk about benefits, even the pious. This is just hopeless. I really want to send them to hell!
