268 Manipulation of the Spiritual World
Anne looked at her following her and tried to close her long legs but couldn't do it. Annabelle, who was blushing, quipped:
"How does a man feel?"
“It’s different from me…I thought it would be.
It hurts so much...
Legs are weak..."
Annie looked at Annabel, who was not very steady in walking, with a warm smile on her face, but she sighed helplessly in her heart.
She naturally knew that Lord Levi was so rude and obsessed with Annabelle, not because of Levi’s previous attitude towards women. Annabelle was asked by Levi several times in one night, and even didn’t sleep well all night, just because Levi did not intend to keep her by her side for a long time!
In other words, this stunning Italian beauty has entered the countdown...
Of course, Anne could not say this. It was not the first time that Anne saw Levi’s cruelty. She had been used to it. It was just that Anne felt that Annabel had such a good face, but she was so young that she was heading towards the end of her life. She was a little emotional.
"The Chief Executive is the most dazzling sun in the world. Serve him well and you will get what you want."
Anne casually said something to comfort her maid and stopped talking.
Annabel, who was following behind Anne, showed a look of longing on her face.
Annie has seen this expression too many times, and almost every woman who is willing to sleep with Levi will show this look.
They are willing to give everything they want to serve Li Wei, so naturally they can't tell Li Wei about love, just like they are heart-wrenching in bed, telling Li Wei how obsessed with Li Wei's strong body, but Annie knows very well that most of the women who have served Li Wei want nothing more than the honor that accompanied the CEO.
Throughout history, honor has made most people desperate because honor is often accompanied by money and social status!
Even if it seems ordinary medals of honor, as long as the country that awards the medals become stronger, this honor can also allow veterans who receive the medals of honor to improve their social status.
Whether it is a man or a woman, the pursuit of such interests is blind and crazy, but the way men and women pursue it is different.
Because women are not as strong and powerful as men innately, and the discrimination against women in this era of society, women can often only greatly improve their social status and gain a prosperous and stable life by serving men at high positions.
This is why in the harem of the emperors of the Eastern Power in ancient times, there was never a shortage of women who broke their heads and squeezed them in, used all their strength to seduce the emperor, and even used very cruel means to exclude competitors and march towards the position of queen.
The emperor's harem is the highest battlefield for women to pursue wealth and power!
In the history of the ancient Eastern Kingdoms, there are two women who are very successful and more famous in this regard.
One of the Zhou Dynasty Wu Zetian, who ascended the throne and became the only legal queen of the Eastern power.
The other one is Lafayette Cixi, who was notorious in later generations and destroyed the entire country for his own selfish interests.
Not to mention Wu Zetian's glorious deeds, even the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was infamous in later generations, was one of the best in the world in political struggles and pleasing men.
Empress Dowager Cixi was able to take power not by her gorgeous background, but by her enough wisdom and cruelty.
In the entire Qing Dynasty, when Empress Dowager Cixi was alive, there was nothing that was not afraid of her.
Even local powerful officials like Zeng Guofan, who were caught with military, government and finance, dared not rebel when Empress Dowager Cixi was in power!
As for President Yuan Datou, who later stole the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution, he only abdicated the Qing Dynasty after Empress Dowager Cixi died.
Empress Dowager Cixi may have been full of ignorance and naivety on external issues, but in the internal political struggle, her subordinates and enemies were frightened. When Lao Fu sat in Beijing, the Han powerful ministers and the Eight Banners powerful people in the world did not dare to break up the Qing court with holes everywhere.
This may be a typical genius in the nest.
A big man who can leave a name in history, whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, proves that the other person's ability is beyond what ordinary people can achieve.
The quality of a reputation can only reflect a person's morality and character, and cannot determine a person's talents.
Of course, those who ascend to the throne by relying on reincarnation status are also considered...
In Levi's office at the Palace Duille in Paris, Levi frowned and asked Manid, "Pius VI still refuses to cooperate?"
“Yes, Chief Executive.
He knew what our army did in Italy, so he would rather die on a hunger strike than preside over the coronation ceremony for the adults. He even threatened me and if he forced him, he would hit him and die on the pillars in the hall..."
"Haha, Pius VI is quite tough."
"Sir, Pius VI is old and has not had many years of life. He should not want to leave his reputation as a pope at the moment of death."
Manid explained in a tactful tone.
"I'm afraid Pius VI didn't care about flaws in fame, nor did he want to make his reputation darker.
But how did Pius VI know about the Italian expedition?"
"When Carl's army brought back a large amount of 'trophies', the whole Paris cheered for this Italian expedition, and could not hide it from Pius VI..."
"Forget it, he knows it, bring Pius VI to see me."
Li Wei ordered without any worries.
"Sir, Pius VI is unwilling to see you. He said you are the spokesperson of Hell Satan, who has the ability of the devil to control people's hearts. He does not want to betray his faith in God."
After hearing this, Li Wei raised his eyebrows, knocked on the table, and said to Manid in dissatisfaction: "As the director of the General Administration of Military Intelligence, do you have no ability to bring him out before committing suicide?
What's more, Pius VI is just a weak and powerless old man!”
A dense cold sweat suddenly emerged from Manid's forehead. Under the loyalty attribute of administrative enlightenment, Li Wei's dissatisfaction made Manid's psychology full of pressure.
"Chief Consul, Pius VI was the Pope after all, and the only leader of European Catholicism. If we do that, we will be despised by Catholics all over Europe..."
"Enough!
I can't control the foreign Catholics now. If the French congregants dare to despise me, I will immediately arrest him and send him to the labor camp to work as a coolie until death!
On my territory, I am God!
Humph, during the French Revolution, even those revolutionaries who were unable to stand out dared to strip the church of their superiority. Could it be that I still need to respect the church?
Manid, do you know why I am not now in the law to restore the privileges that the church should have?
Those priests and bishops are at most serving the spiritual and ideological departments of people, rather than the spiritual masters of the people!
God is the true God who lives in people's hearts, not the tool used by these charlatans to enhance their own status and get nothing for nothing!
After I meet Pius VI this time, I will carry out a thorough reform of religions in France. Religious interference in secular rights is an extremely stupid mistake in itself!
I will start with France, set things right and let the people's power be back on track!”
Manid listened to Li Wei's extremely disrespectful remarks to God, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping on the ground. The loyalty brought by administrative enlightenment continued to conflict with the religious beliefs he had accepted since childhood. In the end, the administrative enlightenment of the full-scale war system was slightly better.
In this era, France was one of the major Catholic countries, or in other words, the entire Western Europe was a loyal follower of Catholicism, and Protestantism only existed in some countries in the British Isles and northern Central and European countries.
Eastern Europe was dominated by Orthodox under the leadership of Tsarist Russia.
Although the traditional religious forces in France were hit hard during the French Revolution and the wealth and foundation of the church had been almost dug, faith is not something that can change at any time.
French civilians just think that it is unfair for the top leaders of the church to occupy so much property, but they never think that believing in Catholicism is a mistake!
Even Li Wei cannot change this point, and there is no need to change it.
After all, those who believe in God and those who believe in Allah are cheap leeks to support their government, so why do they have to touch their spiritual world?
People in this era can be illiterate everywhere, religious thought is the whole of their spiritual world, and there is still no shadow in the scientific world view. Without religious beliefs to fill their spiritual world, the whole country will be in chaos!
Never underestimate the control of religion on the spiritual world of human beings. Even in the 21st century, there are still many countries in the world who regard religion as a general law to restrain their own people.
For example, the discrimination and occupational restrictions on women in the Middle East are all guided by the teachings of the Crescent Church.
When Muhammad founded the Crescent Cult, he clearly treated women as vassals of men. This continued until the 21st century, and many countries were still insisting on it!
Of course, the traditional teachings of the Crescent Moon Church are not irreversible. Religion is affecting the world situation, and the world situation is also affecting the religious reforms, especially those Crescent Moon Church that penetrated into other different nation-states. In order to preach more quickly and conform to the customs of the locals, many changes have been made.
This is why the same religion divides into many sects.
Christianity split out Protestantism, Catholicism, Orthodoxism, Puritanism and other sects. Crescent religion also split into many sects. Some sects are so powerful that they can control the political situation of a country, while others are so weak that they can only rely on the governments of the local country to survive.
Li Wei, who came from the 21st century, naturally knew this. After all, the motherland he was born was a country with religious freedom, and the religious atmosphere was relatively relaxed, and different sects knew it.
What Li Wei wants to do now is to change the trend of Catholicism as dominant in Western Europe, create a religious environment that is beneficial to his own rule, and place the power of religion under his own secular power!
The best result in Li Wei's plan was to divide all the religious powers in the ruling area into a certain department of the cabinet.
When Li Wei arrested Pius VI, he ordered the cabinet to prepare to establish a new department - the Faith Department.
Of course, the most suitable and authoritative director of the Department of Faith is the current Pope Pius VI!
At that time, whether the foreign government recognizes it or not, Levi can cause an uproar within the traditional Catholic sphere of influence in Europe.
Even if foreign forces collude with the Catholic Church to support a new pope, Levi can rely on Pius VI's identity as a pope to fight with the other party.
At least, religious beliefs in France are no longer as chaotic as they are now.
Since the French Revolution, religious conflicts in France have never been cut off. Until Li Wei took power, he could easily suppress the revolutionary party, but he could not suppress the religious people, unless he killed most of the French...
After receiving Levi's strict order, Manid left the office.
Administratively enlightened loyalty overwhelmed Manid's faith in God, and he had made up his mind to be a blasphemer.
It was not that Li Wei had thought about establishing a blasphemy alliance, but the Ottoman Empire next door to Europe was very interested in winning over France.
From a geopolitical perspective, France, a traditional European power, has almost no political collision with the Ottoman Empire, and there is a huge Holy Roman Empire between them!
Therefore, as long as France wants to compete for the hegemony of the continent, it will have a basis for cooperation with the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire also saw this, so after the outbreak of the French Revolution, secret envoys were sent to negotiate strategic cooperation more than once.
In particular, the French Revolutionary Government's handling of Louis XVI and the Church further strengthened the Ottoman Empire's determination to win over the French Revolutionary Government.
The reason is simple. The Bourbons were a hardcore supporter of Catholicism and had no possibility of cooperation with pagans like the Ottoman Empire.
Under the truth that the enemy is a friend, the Ottoman Empire felt that it still had a basis for cooperation with France.
The most important thing is that if the cooperation between the two sides is exposed, it will have no impact on the Ottoman Empire at all.
The Ottoman Empire is now the absolute leader of the Crescent Cultivation. There is only one Persian Empire in other Crescent Cultivation countries that has the ability to compete with the Ottoman Empire, but it is not an opponent of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, the Ottoman Empire does not have to worry about the conquest of other Crescent Cultivation countries.
But France is not good. In Western Europe, the base of Catholicism, if France forms an alliance with the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the spread will be made, let alone Catholic and Protestant countries in Europe, even the religious people in France will have to start a fuss!
Because of this, the tycoons of the French revolutionary regime never agreed to cooperate with the Ottoman Empire, let alone attack the Holy Roman Empire.
As for Li Wei's political views...
