Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 69: Meeting

The Vatican City has no walls in the direction of St. Peter's Square. It is completely open to the city of Rome, and you can drive along the Concorde Avenue to St. Peter's Square. Ω small Δ said driving out of Concord Avenue, the motorcycles of the Yuan convoy were divided into two groups on the left and right, and they stopped at the entrance of the circular colonnade.

Followed by was the truck carrying the soldiers of the Guard Flag. It also did not enter St. Peter's Square, but stopped in the lane of the majestic Colonnade on the east side of the square. A group of guard flag soldiers wearing black military parade gowns quickly jumped out of the carriage under the urging of the non-commissioned officer, and then lined up in a neat line, stepping into St. Peter's Square with high spirits.

Seventy-five Yuan Guard officers and soldiers lined up in another neat phalanx on the left hand side of the Holy See's Swiss Guard honor guard. The black helmets shone with cold light, and the bayonet-mounted 98k ceremonial rifles were close to the boots.

"This is the first time since the establishment of the Vatican to allow outside teams to enter this square." A full-time Pope priest whispered to his companions.

"By definition, they are the private guards of the German dollar, not a real army." The speaker was a domestic patriarch wearing a black robe.

"This lord has now conquered all of Europe, and Germany may become the next Holy Rome in his hands." A cardinal priest stroked the beads on his wrist and said with a serious expression.

"If it is exactly what you said, we may be witnessing a piece of history today. However, it is not as easy as imagined to rebuild the Holy Rome. This sir has a long way to go." A cardinal sighed, shaking his head.

In order to make preparations for the honors, Xu Jun’s Mercedes-Benz deliberately slowed down. As a result, it made a group of Italian citizens waiting on Concorde Avenue. They cheered and paid tribute to the handsome German dollar, and kept turning The prepared flowers and colored paper were thrown into the cab of the convertible.

The citizens of Rome showed extraordinary enthusiasm, but they put great pressure on Yuan's personal guards. Captain Stark stood on the pedal holding the door of the car, and colorful shredded paper and various petals spilled over him. All in one.

Although there is an Italian military police standing every few steps beside the street, the German guards on the front and rear guard cars are still watching the crowds on both sides vigilantly. They really don’t dare to underestimate these Italians, they seem Born to have assassination expertise.

Italy is rich in assassins in history, and there have been endless assassinations in the Roman era. Especially when the Papal State ruled the Apennines, the whole Europe was full of conspiracy. (Weirle: "I heard that the highest-ranking assassin in Italy can sweep across the army with a sleeve sword." Xu Jun: "What kind of assassin is this? It's a Germanic berserker." (╯‵□′ )╯︵┻━┻”)

"Keep smiling, Weierle, you look too nervous." With a bright smile on his face, Yuan waved frequently to the enthusiastic crowd outside the car.

"Sorry, my Yuan." Weierle forced a smile on his strained face.

"We are almost here, and St. Peter's Cathedral is in front." Xu Jun tilted his head, and gently pressed Weierle's ribs with his elbow.

"Ah, yes, my yuan, there is Vatican City." Weirler replied respectfully.

The guard car in front and other vehicles were parked on the outside of the colonnade. Only Xu Jun’s Mercedes 77ok drove into St. Peter’s Square from the entrance of the colonnade. This was also the result of discussions with the Vatican. In any case To save a bit of face to the Holy See, one cannot be too arrogant.

"Salute!" Stark jumped off the pedal, ran to the guard of honor, and drew his saber to stand in front of him.

"Salute!" The Swiss guards in Renaissance-style uniforms stood upright under the command of the captain. The guards raised their sharp halberds and paid attention to the German Yuan who was walking down the car. .

Amidst the welcome music played by the Orchestra of the Holy See, the German Yuan took an elegant step towards the Supreme Bishop of the Catholic Church, the overlord of the Christian world, the servant of God in the world, and the current Pope Pius XII.

"Welcome to the Vatican City, Your Excellency the German Yuan." Pius XII extended his right hand to Xu Jun.

Seeing this movement of the pope, the bishops and bishops standing on both sides began to become nervous. Many people even held their breath and fixed their eyes on Xu Jun who stepped forward.

"It's an honor to see you, Mianxia." Xu Jun stretched out his hand and took the pope's hand.

The expression on Pius XII's face changed slightly, but then a gentle smile appeared.

This is a temptation made by the Pope. If Xu Jun is a devout believer, he should bow his head and kiss the power ring on his right hand to show respect for him and the Holy See.

When each Pope succeeds to the throne, he will cast a ring of power that belongs to him. The ring is made of pure gold. The ring is carved with the Peter's fishing pattern passed down from generation to generation by the Holy See, because each pope is nominally They all claim to be the successor of Pope Peter in Rome, so they use this pattern to declare their power.

So this ring is called the "Fishing Ring" or "Peter's Ring". It is a personal symbol of the Pope. Every pope uses this ring as his personal letter when he sends out private letters and orders from the Holy See. The seal of the letter, stamped on the lacquer seal of the letter or the lead seal of the official document lanyard.

After the death of each pope, his power ring will be crushed under the supervision of the Vatican’s treasurer to avoid being taken by others to seal forged official documents before the new pope is elected.

In addition to greetings and salutes in the general sense, the right to kiss has a hidden political meaning behind it. In the Christian world, this is also regarded as a sign of the kisser’s surrender to the Holy See.

Xu Jun did not study religion very much before, but there are many experts in this area in the Nazi Party, especially Himmler’s staff raised a large group, so he has long been given professional tips, like the church When contacting organizations that place great emphasis on tradition and etiquette, they must be careful everywhere.

The result of the first trial of the Holy See was obviously disappointing to them. This young man called the "Apostle of God" by the world does not seem to be what they thought before, but a pious person. .

But it’s not surprising. The Holy See has stood for thousands of years. I don’t know how many tyrants I have seen in the past. Among them are beasts in human skins and true saints who are compassionate and compassionate. But the Holy See never cares about their personal piety ~ IndoMTL.com ~ only to see if they can contribute to the exhibition of the Holy See. As long as it is beneficial to the exhibition of the Holy See, even if your hands are **** and sinful, you only need to confess your shame in the presence of the divine God, and you will be able to obtain God's mercy and pardon.

"Seven years have passed since the last meeting. I didn't expect that we would meet here again in seven years. It's just that I have become the Pope and you have become the Yuan of Germany." Pius XII smiled loosely Xu Jun opened his hand.

"Yeah, looking back now, I can't help feeling that the fate of life is truly wonderful." Xu Jun retracted his hand and took the scepter from his left hand.

"Everything is the will of God, and all glory belongs to the Lord." The pope turned slightly and made an invitation gesture.

"You are right, under the crown, everything is arranged by God." Xu Jun raised his head and smiled extremely brightly.

"Please come with me, Honorable Yuan, the Vatican specially prepared a Mass for you today." The Pope spread his hands.

"This makes me feel extremely honored, my crown." Xu Jun leaned gracefully.

The pope turned around and led the way towards the majestic St. Peter's Basilica behind him, followed by a group of priests and priests, and two young acolytes wearing capes for the pope.

The Vatican band on the side played melodious sacred music, and the priests and young monks of the choir lined up and sang hymns in unison.

Xu Jun turned his head and looked at the colonnade behind him, then took another look at the SS members lined up beside him.

"It looks like a good start, Weierle." German Yuan winked his eyes at Weierle, and then strode towards the door of the church following the cardinal who was dedicated to guiding him.
