In fact, before Afello arrived, several high-level church leaders were exchanging information and analyzing the current situation, but the conclusion was almost opposite. Several young high-level leaders insisted on a tough counterattack. This blasphemy was a secret call for faithful believers to rally to protest against this violation of the Milan Decree and the Nicaea Conference. However, some high-level officials are firmly opposed to "provoking" contradictions. They think that the Roman officials who are dissatisfied with Christianity have not been alone in the past years, but they used to take a gentle approach to win over those officials and treat the new governor differently? They think that this is because with the development of the church, some ideas should not be’ stimulated’, but they think that this kind of thinking is extremely dangerous because the ultimate supporter of the church is still the imperial church and state Council, and its strength is far from self-reliant. It is unwise to rashly offend an imperial dignitary! Instead of protesting to the new governor, we should show absolute obedience to a friendly and courteous attitude to win the new governor’s forgiveness.
These two tit-for-tat opinions are competing with each other. At this time, it is natural for the high-level church to play the role of peacemaker. However, compared with the first two, they are all biased towards extreme views. This time, the opinions of the high-level church leaders have been agreed by most of the talking church backbones
Confronting a governor with legal background and strong military backing is different from asking for trouble at present, and knowing the behavior style of the new governor, no one can predict what kind of situation will turn out to be out of control in the end if there is any "violent" conflict.
After analyzing the opinions and arguing with each other, the Archbishop Afello will finally have the decision, and he will still look calm as before. When Afello entered the church, the high-level church officials quietly breathed a sigh of relief. They all firmly believed that Bishop Afello’s ability and prestige might not be too difficult to solve the immediate problems.
"So people don’t agree on this matter?" Before the cross, after listening to the results of the discussion among the families, Afello did not show too many other expressions, but asked in a cool tone.
When the bishops and deacons heard this, they couldn’t help looking at each other and asking questions from the archbishop. They were puzzled. Isn’t it obvious that there are differences before them? What’s the need to ask? However, afro’s prestige made them not foolishly think that this was the archbishop’s brain, and they all consciously turned their inquiry eyes to the latter.
Looking at everyone’s puzzled expression, Afello’s muddy eyes suddenly flashed a deep’ essence’ mans, and he said in a serious and abnormal tone, "Will there be a second emperor’s will?"
A bunch of high-level people can’t help but change their faces, show their horror and color.
Seeing that his goal has reached Afello’s eyes, he turned to a gentle tone and said, "Well, don’t be nervous. I can’t doubt you when I see you’ serving my Lord’." I’m asking this question to remind you that Christianity is in today’s situation. After a long period of oppression and persecution, what do we rely on to finally struggle and spread the glory of the Lord in all directions under the shackles of heresy? Depend on our firm belief as a unity! "
Listening to the argument that Afello’s reprimand is a direct subordinate to Afello at the level of the church organization in Alexandria, the supervisory deacons are all showing an awe-inspiring attitude at the moment, because Afello’s words really woke them up. Now Christianity is far from strong enough to face dangerous external enemies and the ministries are still divided and chattering. Only by uniting can we overcome obstacles and make God’s glory more dazzling.
"Well, I don’t want to see any more attempts to stir up different opinions and argue about the present situation …" Afello added with a slight pause. "It doesn’t make us so nervous. The new governor is just trying to test our bottom line and principles by issuing decrees, and we have to" mess up "ourselves. Since he issued decrees against the former empire, we can jointly formulate rules, so we can raise questions and oppose them within the scope of the rules. I will personally write to the governor on behalf of the parish of Alexandria and meet to discuss this. I believe that there will be some progress in dealing with it for the time being. It is not appropriate to act too rashly and let believers be patient for the time being. No one can deprive the emperor of giving them freedom, and no one can! "
Afello’s old face is full of a strong firmness at the moment, and by this kind of anxiety, the high-level church leaders in emotional contagion can’t help but quickly recover their calm thinking. Immediately, they can’t help but sigh that the Archbishop is really extraordinary. A short speech not only stabilizes the impetuous mentality of the church department, but also clearly analyzes the current situation and gives reasonable and appropriate strategies. It is even more full of heartfelt admiration to think that all these people look at Afello.
"That’s the end of the decree. Today, the worship of believers will continue, and you should all go back and prepare." Seeing that everyone understood what they thought, Afello immediately signaled the end of the meeting.
Everyone saluted respectfully and immediately dispersed from the church, and soon became alone on the cross, silently bowing down to pray for Afello.
No one knows that what the Archbishop is saying at this moment is not a pious prayer but a shocking oath.
"No one can go against the emperor’s will. Those who resist will be redeemed only if the sinner is punished by fire!"

Section 16 diamond cut diamond
There is no reason to be unhappy with Hippaya’s argument about sex or worldview. Although Oka has the most trustworthy partner, the most loyal department and the closest lover, to some extent, Oka is still lonely because he really releases his emotional updates in other ways.
Fastest and most stable
He must try his best to integrate into the society of this era, and all his words and deeds must be deliberately imitated and disguised. But sometimes Oka feels that he has lost his true self and turned into another one. Gradually, this era is becoming more and more integrated and unfamiliar with himself [search for the latest updates in bsp; This feeling is sometimes very frustrating, but Oka persevered. He tried to find a new meaning in life in the process of change. He constantly "made friends" with his partner and lover to break the closed heart. This doubt is an appropriate solution, but it still seems slow and hard after all.
However, all these made Orca feel "fascinated" and depressed. Nai melted like snow in the spring after meeting Hippaya. In Orca’s view, Hippaya’s mind is like a piece of pure and transparent crystal, reflecting different flashes from different angles. The flashes at every angle are so dazzling and not repeated. Her body has never been bound by a template personality, so Orca feels a little out of place when she gets along.
There is no need to disguise, avoid or cover up your chest. When facing Hipaya, Oka can’t help but be frank and impulsive and surprised that he can understand that he will not hesitate to "reveal" his heart to a person who actually only meets once.
Oka couldn’t find the reason, but something happened, so he did it. He was like a stranger who happened to meet a foreign girl and was deeply attracted to each other at first sight by an inexplicable factor.
When I recall that every scene was so fresh in my memory when I spent a short day with Hipaya, I couldn’t help but smile when I thought that I couldn’t help but say one word or concept after another in the conversation.
However, it can be a taste for Oka to enjoy the time happily. After all, solving the problem of Egypt Province is the most important thing. After bidding farewell to Hippaya and agreeing to meet again, Oka immediately rushed back to the governor’s office to deal with a series of news and situations that had just been feedback.
office
Oka stood in awe and sat with a cold face. As usual, he was vigorous and listened carefully to the reports of the adjutants in rows at his desk.
"Write back to Britain as soon as possible and ask Darryl to send a reserve army to Egypt, but I can’t land in Alexandria. I will send someone to secretly build a temporary pier in Miriam El, where they will secretly March into me. They are ready to be in Nubian barracks and wait for further orders!"
"Yes, my Lord." An adjutant bowed and turned away.
"Believe General Shaluha at once, and I will send him a batch of shrines as soon as possible to offer sacrifices to Britain in northern Xinjiang. Social reform in the religious field involves establishing the highest religious belief of polytheism. Build Pantheon in major central cities to solve the problem of" mixing "and" chaos "in the original scattered sacrifices and shrines. The temple sacrifice is the approved Pantheon sacrifice and the only legal religious sacrifice to deal with national religious affairs, so that he can pay more attention to the religious problems of the military department, especially those soldiers who believe in Christianity. I need to strengthen monitoring and prevent accidents and make emergency plans.
"Yes, my Lord"
"I have been instructed to immediately let our newly established intelligence department’ door’ carefully search this list, including family, beliefs, factions, social and economic conditions, and so on!"
The only cloak in the house covered the appearance of the adjutant, who had just laid the door of the intelligence department in Alexandria, touched his chest and left immediately.
"Flying pigeons urge engineers to speed up the fleet. The flooding of the Nile is a long-term problem. We must start from the root. I need the wisdom of those engineers to design a new flood control plan for the Nile for me."
"For people displaced by floods and forced by hunger and cold, the resettlement work should continue, but Genthial should not neglect to re-select people, and remember! Or did I realize that the three principles first, the people must be properly resettled, whether it is food, materials or something, the governor’s office will spare no effort to support it; Second, officials who work for the relief should personally lead the people to rebuild and destroy their homes, and the supervision must be strict. I don’t want to see people increase their distrust of politics because of human factors; During the third disaster relief period, it is forbidden for Christianity to infiltrate the victims. If necessary, the army can take isolation measures. It will be a huge hidden danger for all the victims before they settle down. If Christianity takes the opportunity to win over, it will be a big trouble for us. Now we are fighting with those Christians to win people’s hearts! "
……
In the whole process of ordering an adjutant to leave, Oka’s brain is like a’ fine’ secret machine, which screens and analyzes the information collected from the chaos and finally draws a comprehensive strategy of judging one step. All these add up to a very heavy and trivial test of intellectual work.
However, Oka has to do it himself. On the one hand, because the current situation in Egypt is really sensitive, if you want to usurp the host’s role in the guest place, you have to carefully plan every move from the beginning, and if you neglect it, you may fall into a dead end. On the other hand, because the political situation in Egypt is still following the old routine, all kinds of problems are deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Even though Oka’s trip has brought a team, it is difficult to sort out so many complexities at the moment. It is obviously impossible for the leaders of Oka to directly assign jobs to handy ministries as in Britain or northern Xinjiang.
When the last adjutant turned away from Orca and finally rested, he rubbed his forehead and got up. Orca felt his bones crackling all over. Orca moved a muscle and was about to relax himself. It’s a pity that he knocked on the door and rang at this moment. Then the door was pushed and he saw Libius coming in. Orca realized that it seemed that he was still far away from work.
"My Lord, this is an invitation letter just sent by the diocese of Alexandria, hoping to invite you to attend the large-scale mass held in Angola Square on April." Libius shaved a simple invitation letter before going straight.
Oka Zheng slightly immediately took the invitation letter and smiled gently. "It seems that our archbishop is going to show us a Christian power in Alexandria."
Lebius also smiled when he heard Orca laugh deeply.
"go! Of course! How can the archbishop not go since he is warmly invited? " Oka closed the invitation letter and said firmly, "Not only will I go to the new governor’s office, but all senior officials will have to go. I’d like to see what kind of tricks the Archbishop will play at this so-called large mass!"
"It’s an adult, so I’ll reply to the bearer." Libius nodded and turned around.
"Wait a minute." However, Orca seems to have thought of something to say to make Lebius turn around and then sink for a moment and ask, "It has been three days since the decree was issued. Has there been any movement in Alexandria? For example, religious conflicts or resistance from aristocratic officials who believe in Christ? "
Libius heard this and thought about it. He replied, "No news has been received from the Governor’s Office. The city is very calm, except that some victims have entered the city one after another. Everything else is normal. Those Christians have obeyed the law and never appeared in public again, and aristocratic officials have obediently withdrawn from their homes, canceled the Eucharist and wore Christian ornaments."
Libius said that Oka was deeply frowning, because these details reflected that it was not good news. Oka issued these two explicit laws against’ sex’ in order to’ stir up’ contradictions in a limited way. It is best to divide and’ lure’ the high-level church, so that some fanatics can rashly launch a rebellion. Oka can just take advantage of the situation to suppress and eradicate some of the accumulated heritage of Christianity in Egypt over the years and hit its hopes.
Now, a heavy punch has hit the place soft and muddy, and he doesn’t try to achieve his goal. However, Orca pondered and immediately judged that it must be that some people in the church department saw their own plans, which not only skillfully solved their temptations, but also made the majority of believers in Alexandria feel grateful for avoiding making choices, and at the same time strengthened the unity of the church department to further accumulate the inside information. This is not something that ordinary people can do.
Think of these okabai himself met a master, an opponent who can compete with himself for the battlefield in diamond cut diamond.
Oka felt threatened, and he had to find out the identity of this opponent at once. However, when he retrieved the information of Alexandria parish in his mind, he was surprised to find that the identity of this opponent did not seem difficult to determine, and it could be said that he was eager to come out.
"It seems that our archbishop of Afello is very unusual." At the bottom of my heart, I determined the name of the opponent, so Orca couldn’t help mumbling to himself.
"All right, Libius, it’s all right. Go and reply to someone." Orca nodded a little.
"Yes, my Lord" turned and walked out of the room without feeling too strange about Orca’s move just now.
Turn around and walk to the window. Oka will think about the future opponent for a long time. He looks out of the window and whispers, "It’s really not simple. Each of these archbishops of the Christian Rise Road is an extraordinary mind, such as Ambrose in Italy and Alexander Afello …"

Section 17 Mass Festival ()
At noon the next day, Angola Square in Alexandria
The square of the National People’s Congress, which is paved with white’ color’ square bricks, is no longer spacious and leisurely at this moment. Looking at it, the whole square has been completely crowded with people, and even the sculpture fountain in the center of the square has been submerged in the crowd, which is the fastest to update.
Christians who wear robes symbolizing the white color of ordinary people account for the vast majority of them. However, compared with passers-by who are crowded with streets and buildings on the roofs, they are all very silent and silent. Even if they talk to each other, they are whispering. It is amazing that thousands of believers should consciously maintain such an orderly order!
However, for Oka and his party attending this large-scale ceremony, it is enough for them to feel the real pressure just to say goodbye to the quality of these believers.
