Chapter 164 European Cao Mengde

Pope Innocent IV, who had dealt with Zhao Fubo, disliked the most was Zhao Fubo's impatientness and in his opinion, he was a bit overly straightforward. At least he had never seen such a person among the emperors of Europe. (_《》) But the problem is that Zhao Fubo's fist was too big, and that power was not a blow that he was qualified to bear. Therefore, he had to maintain the greatest restraint for Zhao Fubo's straightforwardness. Especially now, this is even more true when he asks for the other party.

"The news of your wedding is really surprising. I think this is worthy of our attention, and it should not delay you too much. So I'd better tell you. Your Majesty, you know that many people in this world are not smart enough. I have heard some rumors that are closely related to some nobles in the city. Their view is that the current king of the Byzantine Empire should choose a new king among them. This fact has troubled me, and I even worried that it will affect the opportunity for us to establish the Holy Holy Church. It would be a pity if your wedding was delayed because of the postponement of the ceremony!"

While speaking, Pope Innocent IV pretended to be regretful. Zhao Fubo looked at him and felt funny. But what he and Pope Innocent IV did not notice was that Princess Qili was standing on the deck above with Juliana. They could hear the conversation between Pope Innocent IV and Zhao Fubo deliberately lowered his voice, and Qili commented to Juliana.

"This hypocrite is not easy to be a hypocrite at all. Look at his embarrassing appearance. In fact, talking to the head of the family is the best way to speak directly."

Juliana obviously didn't look like Princess Qili. She grew up in the palace, making her familiar with these things. She just stroked her long silver hair and slapped her red lips to look impatient.

"The head of the company finally had the opportunity to sit and chat with us, but he didn't have a wink. Moreover, it would be fine if he came and just talked about things directly. Why bother so much? It's really annoying to delay for so long!"

All along, when she was with Zhao Fubo, Juliana would often look like a little chili pepper. Although sometimes, she had a slightly wild beauty, she obviously didn't feel very good at this time.

"Oh, Juliana, who said he was the emperor of the Chinese Empire? I'm afraid he will have a life like this in the future. I only have one problem, Juliana, guess what method will he use to solve this problem?"

Juliana quietly looked over the side of the ship and looked at Zhao Fubo's expression.

"I think he already has a solution. Didn't you notice that when he has a ghost idea, he can't help laughing!"

"Is that true? Is there such a thing?"

Qili looked out of the ship's side in disbelief and also fell on Zhao Fubo's face. Sure enough, Zhao Fubo's mouth had already held a confident smile.

"Depend my wedding, I think you may have made a mistake, your majesty, my wedding will not be delayed. And I have already had the best solution to your problem. But..."

When Zhao Fubo said this, he deliberately paused. Obviously, this was when he was setting up the conditions. If Pope Innocent IV could not even see this, then he had been in vain for so many years. Pope Innocent IV did not speak, but made a gesture to Zhao Fubo to continue.

"But this requires us to build a naval base in Golden Horn Bay, and many of them will use it for about 5 years. Originally, this was not in my plan, you know that without a base, my fleet would not be able to stay here for a long time. And that naval base is still your place after use. I believe that 5 years will be enough for all the situation here to stabilize. Whether it is the situation in Constantinople itself or external, there is a ill-intentioned Syria over there!"

Zhao Fubo's suggestion made Pope Innocent IV fall into deep thought. His brain was running nervously, judging whether Zhao Fubo had fallen in love with his own acre of three-point land, and was wondering whether his actions were leading the wolf into the house! His eyes were turned a few times, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Zhao Fubo didn't have time to play with him. He had the time to accompany his wife. If he talked too much about someone who couldn't turn his mind, he would even think that you had a conspiracy.

"Well, your majesty, think about it carefully. I plan to start in one or two days. But what I told you just now is only the first step, and there is also the second step if it is realized, I think there will be no unsafe in your Holy Church."

After saying that, Zhao Fubo stopped looking at him and did not intend to continue the conversation. In fact, this matter was like fishing, and Zhao Fubo just set off a long line. Moreover, the value of Constantinople will be greatly watered immediately after the Suez Canal is excavated. From the transportation route in Eurasia in the past, it has become the transportation route in the Black Sea.

The Suez Canal is the waterway that really communicates with the East and West worlds. At this moment, Zhao Fubo planned to take advantage of Constantinople's value and quickly collect his 5-year fee. As for five years, it will not be very valuable here, and it seems a bit of a loss to park the fleet here.

"This... Your Majesty, can you tell me the second step?"

Not only did Pope Innocent IV blush when he said these words, but even Kiriel and Juliana who were listening on the big deck almost curled their lips together.

"Shameless!"

Because Pope Innocent IV was clearly a method of trying to make a fortune by making money, this made people sneer. Not only did Qili and Julianna scold shamelessly at the same time, but Zhao Fubo couldn't feel the sincerity of Pope Innocent IV.

"Hmph, the second step is that you should be the Cao Mengde of Europe. How about it? Your Majesty, I see that you have understood everything. If you understand, please forgive me for not being with you anymore. You know, in order to get back, I have to prepare quickly!"

Of course, Pope Innocent IV did not know who Cao Mengde was. As for the methods of playing tricks and conspiracies, Europeans were far inferior to those in the Chinese officialdom. Although Zhao Fubo hated playing tricks and conspiracies, and in the future, such culture would never be allowed to appear within the "Huaxia Empire". But when it comes to the outside world, playing tricks and conspiracies would all be considered as aerobic exercise in the brain and avoiding the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. Why not do it!

"Cao Mengde of Europe, Your Majesty, you... your sentence is too... too understanding. Can you explain it clearly?"
