Chapter 540

Although Xie liaosha has temporarily trapped the New York Times with legal proceedings, as a large media group distributing around the world, it will never give up its position because of this little setback. As a representative of serious newspapers in the United States, the New York Times has long had good social credibility and media authority, The opinions and positions put forward by the new york times are often accepted by most Americans.

In fact, shagliaosha has no intention to change the position of the New York Times, and he doesn't care what the American people think about the fraternity Africa Foundation. The charity has never received a donation from any company other than the affiliated company of Mr. seliosha. Xie liaosha first set up this foundation. First, he cooperated with the American farmers association to smuggle the grain reserves of the Department of agriculture, but to evade taxes. Because charitable donations are not regulated by the U.S. tax system. After all, the transaction price of 7 million tons of grain is not a small amount. If we can save a tax, we can save a lot of expenses.

The three lawsuits initiated in the New York District Court will not end so soon. Although Zoe and the New York Times can no longer follow up on this matter, they can continue to investigate. After receiving Zoe's phone call, Jimmy started to go to Somalia to investigate the food reserves there, Both the New York Times and the associated press secretly sent people to help Jimmy.

At the same time, Yuri and Ivankov, who had been waiting in Italy for a long time, also received new instructions. Seliosha asked them to take Reich Walesa's personal letter to the Vatican to meet Pope John Paul II.

Yuri and Ivankov are still wanted by the US government. As long as they leave Switzerland, they face the risk of being extradited to the US. But Yuri and Ivankov's diplomatic passports were not withdrawn by the Vatican. It's largely because of solidarity.

Yuri and Ivankov's Vatican diplomatic passports were originally issued by seryosha by threatening the Vatican ambassador to the United States. The reason for the threat was that the Vatican secretly funded solidarity. This time, seryosa wants more. He not only needs the protection of the Papal State, but also needs the Vatican to send a message to the United States that the food smuggling has nothing to do with the Soviet Union, but for the Polish opposition.

Although the Vatican is a pocket country, it is the agent of God on earth. The city under the control of the Pope nominally protects all Catholics in the world. The Vatican's biggest source of revenue comes from donations from believers around the world. With the continuous expansion of missionaries from Europe for centuries, the influence of the Pope is sometimes beyond the reach of the president of the United States.

Walesa really has a lot of weight in the Vatican. After Yuri and Ivankov came to the Vatican as tourists, they immediately contacted the Vatican officials and explained their identities. They were soon arranged to meet with the Vatican's cardinal in charge of foreign affairs. When Ivankov and Yuri handed the letter to the cardinal, the cardinal immediately took it seriously.

"It turns out that President Walesa sent you here. What can I do for you?" The Cardinal was an old man in a red robe. He looked very kind. He asked about them in a friendly manner.

"We are sent by President Walesa to meet the Pope. We need the Pope's help on important matters." Yuri replied respectfully.

"Can I ask what it is first?" Asked the cardinal

"Monseigneur, I think it is better to discuss this matter with the Pope himself!" Yuri simply refused.

"Well, take a rest! I'll get in touch with the Pope and arrange the time! " The Cardinal was not angry. In fact, he just didn't want the people in Vanessa to come to the Vatican to trouble the Pope for a little bit of small things.

Yuri and Ivankov were brought down by Vatican officials. Since they are now coming to the Vatican in the name of Solidarity Union, their treatment is needless to say. In the evening, news came from the cardinal that the pope would invite them to breakfast tomorrow.

The next morning, Yuri and Ivankov got up early, cleaned up and went to see the pope in the company of the cardinal. Ivankov and Yuri knew the purpose of their trip long before they set out, that is, to persuade the Pope and the Americans to have a secret communication and tell the Americans that the target of food smuggling is not the Soviet Union, but solidarity. Only in this way, the US government will not cut off the grain trade of shagliaosha. After all, the United States supports solidarity. Moreover, the Soviet Union could not know about this matter, so the Pope was the most suitable microphone.

The Pope's breakfast is very rich, but the Pope himself is too old to eat much. Prayer before meals is a must. Yuri vowed that this prayer was the most serious one in his life. Yuri and Ivankov first introduced to the Pope the recent situation of solidarity and chairman Walesa, and then slowly talked about the subject.

"Your Majesty, the main purpose of our coming here is to explain to you the recent food smuggling incident in the United States. What we want to show you is that fraternity Africa is actually a branch of our solidarity union in the United States. Our struggle has reached the most difficult time under the joint suppression of the Soviet Union and the Polish government, We don't want to cause bloodshed. Strike is our most powerful way of expression. However, if the majority of our members stop working, they will not have enough income to support themselves. That's why we set up this organization in the United States by all means. Its purpose is to help the Everbright workers of the Solidarity Union solve their difficulties in life. We don't have much money, So we can only buy cheap old grain, which will be transported to Gdansk by some smuggling groups of the Soviet Union through railways and ports! But when the media in the United States learned about this, they thought that the Soviet Union was involved in it. Now the United States government has stopped our grain trade. If our workers don't have these grains, they may not be able to continue their struggle. Your majesty, I pray for your kindness and help our Polish workers... "Yuri said this with both voice and emotion, Paul II was filled with emotion.

"Don't worry, my child! I won't make you hungry. I'll do it for you anyway Said Paul II with a long sigh.
