Egypt is the territory of the Tianfang believers. If the French army is stationed for a long time, it will not only encounter supply problems, but also be endlessly harassed by the pagans.

Louis will not engage in this kind of loss-making business for the time being.

Zhu Kezang nodded: "Okay! Our Ming Dynasty has fixed the Suez Canal! In addition, the Ming Dynasty can also provide more support for the "Ottoman Rakshasa Secret Treaty"."

"yes."

In the conference hall of the office building of Yingtian Mansion and Honglu Temple, after mutual secret agreements were negotiated, the Three Kingdoms Summit officially began.

"The Ming Emperor's meaning is that fighting is a war, and making money is making money. It is wrong to delay making money in order to fight."

Ye Xingde, the Minister of Honglu Temple, talked eloquently, "Everyone, why are we fighting and dividing the world? Isn't it just to make a small amount of money?"

Ye Xingde speaks Chinese.

This is the home ground of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the official diplomatic negotiation. There are a lot of people on site such as translators, stenographers, etc.!

It's not the same thing as a secret discussion in private, so you have to use their respective official languages.

Ye Xingde was too lazy to pay attention to him, calling him the same name. He continued: "In addition, taking advantage of the opportunity of building the canal, we can also launch a United Nations conference. This world is not only our three superpowers, but also England and Spain.

, Sweden, Rakshasa, Ottoman, Netherlands, as well as the vassal states of my Holy Ming Alliance, etc., can we really ignore them in this major world event?"

Suo'etu smiled. He and the Ming Dynasty had long been at odds with each other, and replied: "The Qing Dynasty fully recognizes the Ming Dynasty's suggestion. With this Grand Canal, the goods shipped from Tianzhu can be transported to your France in less time."

Traveling more than 20,000 miles! How many silver dollars will we save?"

After Suo Etu's words were translated into Latin, Jade felt a little excited.

What about upholding justice and what about protecting the weak? Who would be so boring in the 17th century?

"Archbishop," Ye Xingde said, "What I want to say is that our three countries should work together to build a canal that can bring us huge profits and trade prosperity!"

Moreover, the Holy See has always wanted to organize believers to go on armed tours to Jerusalem, which is a lucrative business!

This is the Ming Dynasty's special version of the United Nations, which is different from the United Nations of later generations.

Frank was even more worried that after Ottoman built the canal, he would turn his back on him. After all, the canal was in their hands and he had nothing to do about it.

When his words were translated into Latin, people in the Frankish Empire and the Holy See were a little stunned.

He always felt that something was wrong. Did this cunning Manchurian Suo'etu really think that the Suez Canal and the United Nations Conference were good, or had he made some secret agreement with Ming Dynasty in private?

Thinking of this, he glanced at the Archbishop of the Holy See again, winked at him, and wanted him to say something to stop him.

Jed thought to himself: It would be good if France could also participate in the project. It would be a project with great potential.

Ye Xingde nodded, "Yes, it's the Suez Canal. As long as there is this canal, the east-west trade route will be greatly shortened, which will be beneficial to the trade between the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and the Frankish Empire. Moreover, we can also cross the river by charging

If we use our fees to make a profit, then other countries’ money will be enough for us to make a lot of money!!”

"Dear Ming Dynasty Foreign Minister, what exactly do you want to say?" the Archbishop of the Holy See asked.

Thinking of this, Jed turned his attention to Suo Etu, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia: "Suo Zhongtang, do you think the proposal to dig the Suez Canal and convene a United Nations meeting is feasible?"

In the 17th century, it was an era of jungle. The whole world was a dark forest. Weak and small countries deserved to be destroyed.

But the law of the jungle does not mean that there is no need for order, nor does it mean that the conflicts between the great powers and the small powers cannot find a place to sit down and talk.

We have to give the little powerful people a chance to participate in the jungle of the jungle, let them eat some minced meat and drink some soup, so that they will not get impatient and risk their lives with the big powers.

Louis XIV's Foreign Minister Jade was probably one of the most outstanding diplomats of this era. He certainly understood that the Suez Canal and the creation of the United Nations would definitely do more harm than good to the Frankish Empire.

The Italian Holy See looks down upon these countries at all.

Ye Xingde smiled and said: "What's wrong with the enemy? We are enemies now, but we can't make money together in the future? Can France really attack Istanbul in one go?"

Or the people from the Vatican will pay attention to the details.

The United Nations conference proposed by Ming Dynasty is of a completely different nature.

I think the Knights Templar, who were as wealthy as many other countries in those days, got their start by serving as bodyguards for pilgrims.

The French really think too much, and the Holy See is also happy to see the Suez Canal succeed.

"With the Ming Dynasty as the host, if the Ottomans dare not to use the tolls to pay dividends, our Ming soldiers will directly confiscate the Suez Canal."

As soon as these words came out, the Archbishop of the Holy See was not happy, "Your Excellency, that is not Istanbul, that is Constantinople!"

Of course, Zhu Kezang was not so kind. His main purpose was to create an international stage to divide and disintegrate the opponent's camp, and also to give Ming an opportunity to intervene in the world.

No matter what the United Nations does in practice, it will always do so in the name of upholding justice and protecting the weak.

"If not, then don't we have to do business together later? Besides, this canal is also considered a share of Emperor Louis XIV. The four of us will share the money and control it together. Anyone who touches that canal will have to pay tribute to us for the land.

Isn’t it a bad business to collect money?”

Wherever there is oil in the future, there will be soldiers from tomorrow!

As a result, the archbishop didn't understand what he meant at all, and smiled and said: "I think it's good too. With the Suez Canal, Italy can prosper! And with the United Nations conference, our pope can ask the Ottomans

The empire has made a request to open Jerusalem for Catholic pilgrimage!”

French Foreign Minister Jed shook his head repeatedly: "If this is the case, the Frank Empire is willing to participate, but the Ottoman Empire is the mortal enemy of the Frank Empire. Will they agree?"

I remember that before the new sea route was opened, Italy was very popular in the East-West trade, and it was really rich.

People from England, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain were all poor people back then!

Why did it turn into making money? It's not like we agreed to divide the world.

Daming wants to be the world police!

French Foreign Minister Jed immediately understood.

"Is this the Suez Canal?"

"And it would be good to have a United Nations conference to discuss things like digging canals. Otherwise, something as good as digging the Grand Canal would never be possible!"

They relied on this money to provide financial services. Many poor kings even borrowed money from the Knights Templar when their money was tight.

For example, King John of England needed a loan to pay the salaries of his soldiers, King Louis VII of France needed a loan to conquer his lords... Bishops in poor places such as France and the UK all obtained huge loans from the Knights Templar.

Even in the seventeenth century, tourism had great prospects.

"Pilgrimage is necessary, it is natural!"
