Chapter 1673: Piercing the Heart
Sending out full expectations, encouragement and best wishes, Adams, the head of the Mormon church, watched Xie Guozhong walk out of the church gate in tears. He wasn't sure if he had influenced this lost lamb again, he only knew that this lamb was not pure no matter what.
It is the current established policy of the Mormon Church to induce believers in the Aurora Legion, especially Asian believers, to return to the embrace of Jesus. After all, business, military, manufacturing and other activities are not their majors for them, and they are the best at fooling people.
And then Adams deliberately interviewed several believers selected from the Aurora Legion. These people all have a great affinity for the church, and they were moved to tears when they saw the head of the church. After all, the last two years have passed, and many people's spirits need comfort.
But that's all there is to it....
They will be moved, shed tears, and repent. These people may spread the teachings when they go back, and expand the influence of the Mormon Church in the Aurora Legion, but it seems impossible for them to make any major changes.
After experiencing the suffering of the last days, people have become very realistic. In fact, not only Asians like Xie Guozhong, but even white people have become less easy to fool.
Several white believers even directly rejected the offer to come to the church, saying that their current life is very good, with a happy family and a happy life. Although the head of the legion has a bad temper and many unreasonable things, they don't want anything to go wrong.
It's better to follow a boss with a strong hand than a scumbag.
This heart is broken, the team is not easy to lead.
His Majesty Adams was worried about this. Regarding the idea of fighting the 'clash of civilizations', he has exchanged views with other leaders within the Brotherhood of Steel these days. Everyone felt that the coach's worries really needed to be considered.
Although the current 'free trade' agreement does not allow the establishment of trade barriers in terms of taxation, it is still necessary to strengthen the brotherhood's own resistance. The business and military work has been handed over to other leaders, while the field of consciousness and culture can only be done by the Mormon Church.
"The Aurora Legion must be allowed to freely preach." The problem returned to the original point, and Adams felt that the key to this matter still lay in Victor Hugo himself.
Through a simple investigation, it can be found that there are many women around Captain Hugo, and they are all white believers. Whether it was Jenny or Nancy who followed him at the beginning, Sarah's family of five who later belonged to him, and even Miss Fox and Katerina, without exception.
"Mormonism allows polygamy, which should be very attractive to Victor Hugo. Moreover, an agreement has been passed within the Brotherhood that the Mormon Church will obtain the status of the state religion.
From now on the entire Fraternity will be populated by Mormons.
If Victor Hugo also wants to join the North American chess game, he shouldn't refuse us. "
The headache for Adams was how to bring up the matter of joining the religion with Zhou Qingfeng. If Zhou Qingfeng was willing to join the religion, he was even willing to grant him the title of 'saint'.
Because there are more than 20 million Catholics in Mexico controlled by the Aurora Legion, it is a great feat just to convert these believers into Mormons. This is a career that no top magician can refuse, not to mention the powerful strength of the Aurora Legion itself.
But it is inconvenient for His Majesty Adams to raise this matter. If his proposal is rejected, the good relationship formed by the two sides after reaching an agreement will be cracked. After pondering and pondering, His Majesty can only go to David Lawrence.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to talk to Victor about being baptized?" David Lawrence shook his head immediately when he learned of Adams' purpose, and said, "It's impossible. I know that kid very well, he Wouldn't compromise on something like this, he doesn't believe in God at all."
"No, I'm not asking you to go. I..., I think about it this way. Your wife, Rachel, has been focusing on charity, and currently has a high reputation within the Brotherhood of Steel and even in Enclave, whether it is Whether she is at the top or at the bottom, her image is very, very good."
Hearing Adams suddenly talking about his wife, Lawrence's face became cloudy. But Mianxia continued: "In this bloody world, we really need a woman like Rachel who is both beautiful and virtuous. Her existence is very helpful for stabilizing society."
"Your Majesty, can you tell me exactly what you mean?" David Lawrence didn't want to listen to excuses.
For smart and powerful figures, Adams does not beat around the bush too much, "I hope Rachel can convert to the Mormon Church, and I will canonize Rachel as a saint of Mormon, and use her influence to promote Mormon teachings .”
Rachel believes in Catholicism, which is very different from the Mormon Church. But now that the Mormon Church has become the state religion of the Brotherhood of Steel, making his wife a saint of the state religion is also of great benefit to David Lawrence in winning people's hearts.
"I'll talk to Rachel about it, but it's up to her to decide whether she's willing to convert," David Lawrence said.
"I believe you will be able to persuade your wife to convert." Adams is very confident about this. In fact, it is not difficult to change a letter in the last days. So many leaders of the Brotherhood have now converted to the Mormon Church.
"But what does this have to do with getting Victor Hugo into the church?" David Lawrence's face was not happy because his wife would become a 'Saint', "You don't plan to let Rachel The identity of the saint is persuading Victor, right?"
Adams smiled immediately, with an expression of "You guessed it right", and even a kind of "I have thought about it for a long time before I came up with such a good idea, why don't you hurry up and praise me".
I compliment you on your size!
Lawrence is fucking going to explode....
For this 'North American Security Summit', David Lawrence deliberately brought only his daughter and no wife, just to prevent Zhou Qingfeng from meeting Rachel.
From Lawrence's point of view, it doesn't matter if Angie hooks up with Victor. If you don't stay in college, you will marry sooner or later. If Angie can be used to tie Victor, the deal will be worth it.
But Rachel is different....
I think that little bastard Victor secretly took photos of Rachel across from his house back then. It’s okay to take a lot of photos that you said you took dew points. That man didn’t have a chaotic puberty? But if you take photos of life, it is still very artistic, which means that you really like it.
Thinking of this made Lawrence angry.
It would be fine if Victor was nobody, just laugh it off.
If Victor was a big villain, it didn't matter if he was a big bad guy, Rachel wouldn't like it.
If Victor is far away and never comes back, it doesn't matter, just forget it as a joke.
If..., the key is that Lawrence and his wife have not had a good relationship since the catastrophe, and they have separated long ago. From the point of view, there is no possibility of reunion anymore, so they can only make do with it.
But because of this, Lawrence is very sensitive to anyone touching his wife. The first on the blacklist of forbidden approach is Victor Hugo.
Nima, now I still want Lao Tzu to come to my door, I can't bear it!
"Your Excellency Lawrence, I heard that your wife has a very good personal relationship with Victor Hugo. If she persuades you, the possibility of success must be very high. If we can really win over this legion commander, among them the benefits of……."
Not to mention, Victor Hugo never seemed to refuse Rachel's request. But David Lawrence's face was even uglier, and Adams was a little uneasy.
Lawrence waved his hand and interrupted His Majesty's words, "I don't need you to talk about the benefits. I know better than you the benefits that winning over Victor can bring. But... you can't seal my daughter Is Angie a saint?"
"Ah..., you mean conferring two saintesses? No problem, buy one get one free!"
puff……!
Bastard, that's not how it is understood.
Sir Lawrence felt very distressed. 8)
