Chapter 1671: Clash of Civilizations

When His Majesty Victor Hugo walked into the dome hall of the Temple Church, history entered a new chapter. The members of the Brotherhood of Steel witnessed the birth of an emperor, although this was proclaimed by Uncle Zhou himself. m.

As a landlord, His Majesty Adams, the leader of the Mormon Church, warmly greeted Zhou Qingfeng. He even jokingly said, "Your Majesty Hugo, we are honored to have you here. We have all kinds of titles here, but there is really only one missing, Your Majesty."

Adams was in his eighties. He casually wore a rainbow cassock representing peace, and walked tremblingly in front of Zhou Qingfeng with a staff in his hand. A faculty member introduced their identities to the two, and Zhou Qingfeng also kindly expressed his respect for the teaching head.

Because Utah is too poor, its population is too small, and its beliefs are relatively single, its crime rate is also very low in the United States. As a result, during the catastrophe, other places were in chaos, and demons danced wildly, but the Mormon Church suffered relatively small losses.

His Majesty Adams was the leader before the cataclysm, and he was very different from other upstarts in the Brotherhood of Steel who rose through fighting and bloodshed. He has been a big shot for decades, and he has the aura of being in a high position for a long time in his bones.

With an amiable attitude, talking and laughing freely, his words are kind without losing etiquette, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. This majesty looks like he is old, but he is very good at getting closer. He personally introduced several other leaders of Brotherhood of Steel to Zhou Qingfeng, and everyone gathered around to chat happily.

Uncle Zhou is young and energetic, quick in thinking, generous in speech and demeanor, and occasionally has a small sharp edge hidden in the cotton. He was close to and kept a certain distance from the many high-level fraternities he had just met, and he was quite sophisticated.

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng chatting and laughing happily with everyone, His Majesty Adams has not spoken much, just observing. After staying for a while, he excused himself to be exhausted and retreated to rest. Turning around and walking into the special prayer room in the church, the old man's expression changed from amiable to indifferent.

In the prayer room, several bishops with real power in the Mormon Church were there. Everyone quietly looked at Adams who walked in, and no one spoke easily.

Adams first walked up to the statue of Jesus and made a sign of the cross. After praying softly, he shook his head slightly to the crowd and said, "I think this Victor Hugo may find it difficult to accept the glory of our Lord."

Alas..., several bishops sighed suddenly. Everyone bowed their heads, quite frustrated with the coach's judgment.

"He is smart, confident, powerful, and not confused. This is not a lamb that can be easily tamed. He is still a Chinese. His language, appearance, and culture are all different from ours. He can't even drink our favorite wine. It made it even more difficult for us to win him over."

Adams' low and slow words were like a heavy stone on the hearts of several bishops, completely breaking everyone's original illusions.

Zhou Qingfeng's participation in the 'North American Security Summit' this time is regarded by many as the 'Second Marshall Plan'. After World War II, Europe can rise again from the ruins, and there is no reason why the United States cannot.

It's just that the United States, which implements the 'Marshall Plan', is racially and culturally close to European countries, but Zhou Qingfeng is very different from white people.

In the eyes of others, providing goods is just a transaction, but for the Mormon Church, which relies on fooling people for food, behind accepting goods is an inevitable cultural invasion. The flower growers of the "reform and opening up" had faced this kind of situation, and it was very difficult to deal with.

To avoid shock, it would be best to make Victor Hugo a Christian. It's a pity that this idea may not work...

"Let's rebuild our own production system. At most, we can buy machinery and equipment from the Aurora Legion."

"Do you know how many machines are needed? How many workers are needed? This kind of thing still needs a strong government, and it will not be effective in 30 years. This is not something that the currently divided America can achieve."

"Before the cataclysm, we were heavily dependent on flower-growing commodities. Now we can avoid it? Even if we try to restore the production system, the Aurora Legion can wipe out all our hopes with low prices alone."

Several bishops were talking in low voices, while His Majesty Adams stared at the statue of Jesus in a daze. After a while, he whispered again: "We can't refuse the products of the Aurora Legion, but we can't let him use money to settle all problems, let alone let him split our Brotherhood of Steel."

The bishops fell silent, looking at their leader. Everyone knows this, but the question is what to do?

There was no excitement on Adams' face. When he talked about the current bad situation, he was neither angry nor angry, only calm. But his plain words carried great determination and strength.

"I will admit that America is in big trouble this time. We have a clever invader who chose not to invade us with guns, but instead gave us all kinds of goods that we desperately need. Such an attack is even more difficult to defend against....

However, we cannot allow an outsider to change our culture and our dominant position. We need to hold on, resist, and fight back. "

After Adams finished speaking, a bishop quickly interjected: "This Victor Hugo is a demon without faith at all. He promoted atheism in Mexico. This has repeatedly hindered our missionaries, and even failed to public event."

"Now that he has come to our territory again, there will definitely be a large number of people with weak beliefs who will be seduced by him. The communication satellites he launched recently are all trial broadcasts. Words are attractive."

"He even tried to forcibly change our eating habits. Recently, the Aurora Legion sold us a batch of 'Old Godmother' chili sauce, which actually triggered a sales boom. Many ordinary people who lack food seasonings are snapping up this kind of stuff. They No more butter on bread."

It sounds like it's very miserable... It's almost to the point of subjugation.

"We should emphasize our own needs and not allow the Aurora Legion to dominate." Facing the current situation, His Majesty Adams, as a religious leader, naturally has to stand up to solve the problem. "First of all, our agriculture is the most hopeful to recover, and solving this problem can increase our bargaining chips."

Agriculture in the United States is very developed, and it has a very good environment for growing crops. The export volume of many crops ranks first in the world. Many people think that the military industry in the United States is very powerful, but it pales in comparison to the agricultural products companies in the United States.

As long as agriculture can be done, America will be invincible.

Several bishops nodded in agreement.

"As for industry...." Adams paused in thought. The industry in the United States is naturally developed, but it is not easy to restore it to before the catastrophe. Especially in heavy industry, the investment is large, the effect is slow, and the technical requirements are particularly high.

Zhou Qingfeng has been plucking America's wool for more than two years and nearly three years in the last days. He used barter trade to exchange various heavy industrial equipment, which made it even more difficult for America's industrial recovery. .

"We can at least restore some light industries and solve some employment problems." A bishop said, "Although the operation will be difficult at the beginning, we can provide some trade subsidies and government procurement to support it."

Adams nodded approvingly, "The last is the service industry. This is our strength. There are many talents. We can gain a great advantage in this regard."

Although the situation is still not optimistic, someone must persevere in this battle against the Aurora Legion. Compared with the frustrated faces at the beginning, the bishops who discussed the direction of development finally smiled a little.

Adams finally sighed, "Everyone, we are facing a situation that has never been seen in thousands of years. We must protect our homeland, uphold our beliefs, and educate our people. What we are facing is a . . . the clash of civilizations!"
