These words of Elizabeth I were almost telling the Orthodox Patriarch that they had already acquiesced that Catholicism could come to Tsarist Russia to preach.

The Orthodox Patriarch gave Elizabeth I a cold look.

The Orthodox Patriarch, who was not even warm in his seat, stood up and said, "In that case, I don't need to disturb you here."

After saying this, the Orthodox Patriarch walked outside.

No one stopped him, but everyone knew something was wrong. Although the Orthodox leader had no real power.

But Tsarist Russia had countless fanatical believers in the Orthodox Church.

This decision of Elizabeth I undoubtedly angered the Orthodox Patriarch.

If they have any evil intentions, Tsarist Russia will definitely be disrupted.

Osilev looked at Elizabeth I and said to her in a deep voice: "Tsar, please think again."

Congressmen Dolgoruky and Naresh also rarely looked at Elizabeth I and made the same decision.

"The Tsar please understand that Orthodoxy is our state religion."

"All the members of Congress here are also believers in the Orthodox Church. The Tsar's decision is too hasty."

Elizabeth I blinked her eyes and said calmly: "Who said I want Catholicism to be preached?"

Elizabeth I looked at the Orthodox Patriarch who was about to leave and said solemnly: "Patriarch, please wait."

Elizabeth I got up and chased after him, looking at the Orthodox Patriarch.

The Patriarch stopped, turned around, looked at Elizabeth, and sneered: "The Tsar has come to this, what else do you want to say."

Elizabeth I smiled lightly and said apologetically: "Patriarch, Orthodox Christianity has always been the state religion of our Tsarist Russia, and Catholicism cannot be introduced into our Tsarist Russia."

"But now we need help from the Catholic Church and from the Orthodox Church."

The expression on the face of the Orthodox Patriarch softened a bit. He looked at Elizabeth and said calmly: "Then Your Majesty the Tsar, what help can our Orthodox Church give you?"

"Donate money? Boost morale and ask for blessings from the Lord?"

Elizabeth I shook her head. She stared at the old face of the Orthodox Patriarch and said seriously: "We need the Orthodox Church to issue orders to crusade against the Protestants!"

"Cruel against the infidels!"

The Orthodox Patriarch's eyes were startled, and issuing this order meant that the Orthodox Church would cooperate with the Catholic Church.

The Patriarch neither refused nor agreed.

But the expressions of the congressmen on the floor changed, and they frowned and looked at the Patriarch and Elizabeth I.

Such an approach is undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger!

The Catholic Pope declares that divine authority is supreme and that he is the messenger who visits the world on behalf of the Lord.

The Orthodox Church is loyal to the Czar.

The Catholic Church is too ambitious and must be guarded against it. Seeking skin from a tiger is simply playing with fire.

"Give me a reason." The Patriarch said calmly.

When Elizabeth I heard this sentence, she understood that the matter was already half successful.

Although the Orthodox Church is not as influential as the Catholic Church, it still has many believers in Europe and receives their support.

It will be much more convenient for expeditions against Protestants.

Moreover, it is the best way to keep Catholicism out of Tsarist Russia in the name of cooperation, as long as Catholicism dares to penetrate into Tsarist Russia.

At that time, Catholicism will be just another pagan to them, Tsarist Russia!

"Patriarch, Tsarist Russia needs an ice-free port."

Hearing these words, the Orthodox Patriarch nodded and understood what Elizabeth I meant, and the negotiation came to an end.
Chapter completed!
