After hearing what Fang Zhengyi said, Lai Gouer could only suppress the emotion in his heart and accepted the pistol.
"You have seen everything you should have seen. Tell me about your situation in Feika. According to your understanding, how long can the stable situation last?"
Fang Zhengyi sat back in his chair and knocked on the table to signal Lai Gouer to sit down.
Lai Gou'er sat opposite him, thought for a moment and said, "The construction of Feika is very fast now. I have allocated a fund to help Father Soljie and the Brotherhood develop."
"On the surface, Father Soljie led the missionaries from Dajing to provide door-to-door assistance. In addition, the Brotherhood is expanding its strength outside of Feka. Currently, it is mainly focusing on the Holy City. The gap between the rich and the poor in the Holy City is serious, so the development is very smooth. In terms of business, a new agent has been developed in the Holy City, and his strength is not bad."
"As for Feika, the fleet also spent a large amount of money to bribe the top leaders and smooth the relationship. We also funded the construction of many streets and buildings among the people, and the upper and lower levels are relatively harmonious. However, before I returned to Dajing, the church had already started to make big moves."
"In my estimation, given Dajing's tough attitude, even if we delay, the conflict will intensify in less than a year or two."
Fang Zhengyi leaned back and let out a long sigh: "One or two years...it's a short time."
"If a real fight breaks out, are you sure you can capture the Holy City directly?"
Lai Gou'er thought: "It's hard to say. Although the church is corrupt, all its defenses are of the highest level for the Holy City. Except for the lack of firearms, I think it is not much different from Dajing."
"The Holy City is a majestic city, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although we can attack by sea, it is extremely inconvenient to carry cannons. If we launch a surprise attack, we cannot capture the Holy City within ten days. By the time reinforcements from other countries arrive, Dajing will inevitably go to war with the entire Western countries."
Lai Gou'er continued to analyze, "But we are not completely without confidence. The chance of victory actually lies with the Brotherhood."
"If we support them with muskets and equipment, and cooperate with them from both inside and outside, and unexpectedly attack the temple and capture the church leaders, we still have a great chance within ten days."
"Hmm..." Fang Zheng pondered, "Is the Brotherhood reliable?"
"I think they should be reliable. According to the intelligence I received, they are developing their power in the slums very quickly. In fact, the church has also been alerted and sent people to the slums to investigate the situation. Although the speed of recruiting new members has decreased after the crackdown, the group of people who were recruited earlier are more united than before."
Lai Gou'er smiled unconsciously, "Brother, didn't you see how countless people came to help Father Soljie when he was in the Holy City? Most of those who are brave are butchers, and most of those who study are ungrateful. Those people in the slums have suffered from the oppression of the Holy City, and they will surely respond to the call of hundreds in the future."
"People who are righteous are usually butchers, and people who are educated are usually ungrateful?" Fang Zhengyi sneered, "Don't be too optimistic about those people at the bottom of society."
"These dog-killers usually have little knowledge. Once they are deceived, they work for others. If they die, they are lucky enough to be pulled out as heroes. Scholars have a broad vision, weigh the pros and cons in a complex way, and make rational decisions that seek benefits and avoid harm. They can recognize the truth of life and choose to take risks. They are truly righteous. Such people are one in a million among ordinary people."
"Don't trust them too much. The way the church operates is very different from the big scene. No one knows how strong the people's faith in God is."
"So for these people, we can only intensify the brainwashing, and it must be more thorough than the church!"
Lai Gou'er listened quietly.
Fang Zhengyi kept planning in his mind: "Once the supplies are ready, you can return the fee card and I will call for some manpower for you."
"Ah? What more manpower are needed?" Lai Gou'er asked.
"Well... you need a team of doctors, a group of magicians, a group of Taoists, and a group of reporters." Fang Zheng said.
"Penicillin's healing effect is now unrivaled in the world. Take it to build momentum for Father Solger and create more miracles."
"For example, if a patient with a chronic disease comes, we can ask Father Solger to learn some magic tricks and Taoist rituals in advance. We can combine the graceful postures of Taoism, perform a dance and then perform a magic trick, and the patient will be convinced."
"Do you know that there is a Taoist priest named Hua in our capital? He has been very popular in recent years. His postures are so sexy and his shouts are so ecstatic. People cry and pee when they see him. Do you think the people of Dajing can't stand this? If foreigners see him, they will go home and wash their pants?"
Lai Gou'er was surprised and said, "Is it really that amazing? If he can do this, he should be considered a Taoist celebrity, right?"
Fang Zheng's evil smile
"What else?"
"The performance is almost over. Give the patient a bowl of magic soup and then secretly inject him with a shot of penicillin... After the patient recovers, let the newspaper reporters publicize it vigorously."
Fang Zhengyi said proudly, "I can't say anything else, but when it comes to brainwashing... the Pope is just a primary school student to me. When the time comes, let him see what clickbait and shocking headlines mean!"
"When the foreigners saw this, they were shocked and shocked all day long!"
Lai Gou'er felt his mouth dry after hearing this and licked his lips.
Hiss, it’s true, he has read a lot of newspapers.
This sounds much more awesome than the church...at least penicillin is really effective in treating diseases!
"That's nothing. You can secretly send penicillin to the slums of the Holy City through channels to win over the civilians. At the same time, you can publicize Father Solger's deeds and say that it was a skill given to him by God and that only Father Solger could make this thing. Wouldn't it be easy to win over believers then?"
Lai Gou'er nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, is there any other big brother?"
"Yes, journalists are the most important. When you arrive in Feka, you will need to start researching, summarizing the evil deeds of the church, and writing more battle manifestos in advance, but don't attack the Pope directly. Once the people develop a fear mentality, it will be difficult to accomplish anything later."
"When the war really breaks out, we will raise the slogan of purging the emperor's entourage, print countless leaflets in advance, and use cannons to fire the leaflets into the city first! We will first shake the morale of the people and disrupt the morale of the army."
"If everything goes well, we will attack the city from both inside and outside. Our people will first rush into the temple to control the church leaders and directly behead the Pope! Second, we will open the prison door. Third, we will occupy the treasury. We will distribute all the gold and silver of the rich families with bad reputations among the people to the poor people."
Fang Zhengyi said slowly: "Although I am hot-headed, once real money is involved, greed will overwhelm faith."
"As long as the people get the money, they will immediately support Father Soljie to take the position, and comfort the people so that they can hold the money in their hands with peace of mind. Then the situation will be stable."
