The reason why Guo Kang cares about the church is that it is indeed important and his current funds and manpower must be spent on the church. On the other hand, it was also because the church provided him with a place where he could stay temporarily and take refuge.
When Guo Kang was a child, his adoptive father often worked overtime. Every time a heroine makes trouble at home, he will say that there is something going on at the Ministry of War, and then stay away from home for several nights in a row.
There are indeed many things going on at the Ministry of War. In addition to daily work, there are also some emergencies that need to be handled.
For example, Osman began to operate in the mountainous areas across the sea again, and various military offices would report a lot of intelligence. However, this information may not necessarily be accurate, or it may just be that the scouts and local officers think it is accurate. It is a daily situation for news from different military governments to fight with each other. Some of the news is untrue or exaggerated, or even all the news is completely untrue and exaggerated. This is also a common problem.
The person in charge must work hard to find the truth from these messy materials. The requirements for analysis, judgment, and even human energy are very high. Therefore, it is indeed reasonable for him to deal with the incident overnight.
But as time passed, Guo Kang discovered that every time a heroine fought, his adoptive father would urgently deal with the military situation of Ottoman's changes.
Don't talk about him, even children like his sister who don't like to use their brains have figured out that these heroines are causing trouble every day because of the past events of their adoptive father.
The adoptive father probably just couldn't handle it. It wouldn't work if I didn't help, and I couldn't help anyone, so I had to find an excuse first and hide for a while.
The office of the Ministry of War is heavily guarded and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually. The heroines ran into the house to fight, and the guards pretended not to know, but that was definitely not the case over there. Sure enough, after that, these aunts could only make trouble at home, allowing him to successfully hide away.
He estimated that this was the logic. Otherwise, the timing of Osman's visit would be too coincidental. The Sultan was afraid that he might not have collected his grape juice, so he specially picked up the heroine to come to his rescue when he hit the door.
However, Guo Kang also suffered a disaster.
The heroines could not find Guo Daxia and could not defeat his wife, so they began to take out their anger on Guo Kang, the only male in the family. As a result, Guo Kang was almost kidnapped by an inexplicable strange aunt more than once.
Fortunately, the adoptive mother was able to drive them away every time and gave repeated orders to the guards to protect the young master. This allowed Guo Kang to save the day from danger several times.
The first person to do this was Meltem's mother. Guo Kang was so angry that he rebuked her loudly, saying that he was literally picked up from the garbage dump, and he was not Guo Daxia's flesh and blood. There was a purpose in catching him. If you had the ability, go catch him. Sister.
As a result, Aunt Isel thought for a while and really felt that what he said made sense, so she let him go...
Afterwards, Guo Kang calmed down and felt a little sorry for his sister. However, his sister Guo Ponu was very wild, and when fighting, she had the aura of her parents superimposed, so she should be much safer than him.
Moreover, Meltem once threatened him that her mother would kidnap Guo Kang and make her her husband. In this case, Guo Ponu should be in no danger - she can't also be Meltem's husband to make up for Aunt Isel's strange psychological shortcomings.
At that time, Guo Ponu was not as awkward as she is now. She even bragged to Guo Kang, saying that she didn't need to be afraid of those weird aunts, she would take action. Looking at it this way, it seems okay...
After that, Guo Kang also encountered many dangerous situations. The most suspenseful one was when an Italian aunt secretly drugged the barbecue he had just bought. As a result, Li Xuanying came to his house to play, ate all Guo Kang's barbecue, and was turned upside down on the spot. Guo Kang had quick legs and escaped in time to avoid being captured.
If this was an ordinary child, going through such trouble would definitely leave a big psychological shadow. Guo Kang has matured mentally and has been unable to hold back several times. Later, the slow adoptive father finally discovered the problem and began to work overtime with him. He also spent three days and two nights at the Ministry of War, and then he felt more stable.
This also gave Guo Kang an experience: no matter what, you must have your own place of refuge.
Therefore, after becoming acquainted with Lama Wang and others and gaining some authority in the church, Guo Kang often hid there to prevent him from being implicated again.
After discovering that Theodora and several others were also making trouble, and that they would definitely involve him, Guo Kang sighed that he had taken precautions, and then decisively hid in the place he had prepared before.
He made an appointment with Dalai Lama Wang and others to go to the research facility to see the situation, and then hurried over.
His family didn't even have a maid - in fact, there was originally one, but because the heroines were fighting too fiercely, some people had bad eyesight, and in the dark of night, they regarded the innocent kitchen maid as a competitor, and they went up to beat her up.
The maid was grabbed and scolded out of nowhere, and she was slapped in the face for no apparent reason, almost getting into a fight. Fortunately, she also came from the military government and has some skills. If this was a purely ordinary person, if he didn't escape the first blow, he wouldn't even know if someone would be killed.
The maid felt it was too unfair and the place was too dangerous. I originally thought that a prince's house should be very safe, but it turned out that it was like a battlefield. Enemies came to invade the nest every day, and the combat effectiveness was obviously too high. If this continues, this work will no longer be possible.
The adoptive father felt quite sorry for this, and finally paid more money and dismissed the maids at home.
Anyway, he often followed the army on expeditions. The Purple Tent Army was not a "modern Western-style army" with large groups of servants, businessmen, prostitutes, or even circuses. Instead, it was very repulsive to the presence of women in the army, thinking it was a bad sign.
The adoptive father also started as a low-level officer, so he has long been accustomed to this and does not need much care.
Guo Kang has always taken care of his own life and is also used to such an environment. He simply packed some clothes, asked Bu Lei to bring a box, brought a few books, pens, ink, paper, etc., and the two set off.
In addition to the research on steam and mechanisms conducted at the Empress Temple and the blacksmith shop in the city, Guo Kang also tried to conduct some exploration and testing of electricity. However, some of these projects were risky, so they chose an empty place outside the city.
Outside the capital, there is a newly built monastery. After the situation here settled down, the Church of Constantine built it specifically to house some Greek monks. The monastery is located on a cliff near the sea. There are many abandoned open spaces there. Lama Wang contacted them and allocated a piece of land for Guo Kang to build a workshop.
The cliffs here have been washed away by the waves of the Black Sea for a long time, exposing rocks with reddish brown markings. Therefore, the monks call this place "Red Bank".
In the Hong'an base, some research and experiments on electricity and communications are being carried out. In the past two years, a lot of new equipment has been purchased and a large-scale laboratory has been built.
Moreover, due to confidentiality and theological reasons, no women are allowed to enter here.
The official explanation is that this is a place dedicated to the Greek traditional "Holy Light" worship monastery. Like many other Greek philosophers, these people did not like women very much, and especially could not accept their presence in such places where divinity and divine power were concerned.
In addition, because some research on secret communications is being conducted, women are not allowed to enter to prevent them from sending random things and leaking information.
Therefore, for Guo Kang now, working and avoiding trouble are two things that kill two birds with one stone.
