Chapter 1328 The Rise of Doomsday Salvation Cult
Central part of Eagle Country. Today, areas in two states have completely fallen. The devil has gained a firm foothold, but the Eagle Kingdom has now built a solid line of defense, and now the two sides have entered a stalemate in the war.
Because the demon side didn't have enough war potential to continue attacking for a while. Because although they signed an armistice agreement with the angels of Sanctuary. But after all, they still can't fully believe in angels. Although angels keep their promises a little more than demons.
They still have to guard against the possible attack of the angels. The fact that Baal secretly came to the earth cannot be known to the angels. At present, Baal has returned to the Sanctuary and guards the Sanctuary with his younger brother Mephisto. lest one's hometown be stolen.
At the same time, Eagle Nation's war potential has also been consumed a lot. To start a war with demons is to use cannon fire to fill it. Because the vitality of the devil is too tenacious. Demons with a slightly higher level cannot be harmed by ordinary light weapons. At the last time, weapons such as grenade guns must be used to suppress.
Medium demons must be bombarded to explode and kill them. Needless to say, the high devil. Small-caliber artillery is useless, and the last thing to do is to use rockets for dense coverage to ensure that it loses its combat capabilities. Even so, it is not necessarily certain that the high-level demon can be killed.
Because high-level demons have various combat skills that can save their lives.
So now the war has been going on for several months, and both sides have chosen to rest tacitly.
Externally, the Eagle Kingdom declared that they had stopped the demon's attack. But in fact, both sides are currently unable to fight, and need to cultivate.
Eagle Nation is in full emergency conscription. The same goes for the demons of Sanctuary. Both sides are gathering strength. But so far, it can be said that the Eagles are on the losing side.
And the longer the delay, the worse it is for them. Because demons can use guns. If over time, they learn to use modern thermal weapons, then the advantages of human beings will disappear.
So the idea of the generals is to use nuclear weapons to directly destroy their large forces, and then destroy the gate of the other world. As long as the back road of the demons' homeland is cut off, they are finished.
But the president has always disagreed with that. He is unwilling to press the nuclear button, so the war is now so deadlocked.
But obviously this doesn't apply. Combat expectations, but then again. Until now, many people still say that war is for politics. But in fact, the current war in the Eagle Kingdom has nothing to do with politics. This is a racial war that may destroy the country.
But now there are still many people who have not turned their minds, and the inertia of thinking leads them to move forward, like a high-speed train that is out of control, plunging down into the endless abyss without looking back.
What is even more frightening is that in most Western countries, including Eagle Country, the people and the government are very divided. To put it simply, in their education system and public perception, they are unwilling to do what the government says.
They feel that following the government's instructions is a violation of freedom. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, including when a highly infectious disease outbreak occurred.
For example, cholera, which began to plague Europe in the 18th century. Its earliest outbreak was in the city of London, England. At that time, nearly 3 million people in the UK were infected with cholera. Under the medical conditions at that time, the fatality rate of cholera was as high as 40%.
And cholera is a highly lethal infectious disease that spreads violently. To contain cholera. The health organization of the British Empire at the time. It was proposed to Parliament. Implement the isolation and blockade policy.
Let everyone stay at home as much as possible, and don't go out if you have nothing to do. Gathering, drinking and drinking in public places is prohibited. All gatherings of public events such as weddings and funerals are prohibited.
This proposal was approved by the British Parliament and promoted throughout the country, but a famous British writer at the time once said: This regulation cannot last for a week on British gentlemen.
The writer's deduction is not wrong at all, not a week, just 5 days later, some people can't bear the loneliness.
British regulations. Public gatherings of more than six people, as well as alcohol, are officially banned. So they split 30 people into 5 groups, and 6 people in each group drank separately. In this way, against the above regulations.
It is forbidden to hold public banquets and memorial services for such events as weddings and funerals. This provision was met with serious protests and did not persist for a day.
Obviously everyone knows that cholera is a severe infection, and the fatality rate is still so high, but. They just don't follow the government's rules.
Confronting power is a symbol of freedom for Western people.
Even at the peak of the cholera outbreak in the 18th century, the British health organization once again submitted a proposal to the parliament for a nationwide blockade, and this time there was no need for public protests. Those who needed to get votes through the people, through the aristocracy, and through the gentry class Members of Parliament directly denounced health officials as warlords.
The Eagle Country in North America is a distant relative of the British Empire. Perfectly inherited the idea of their relatives that fighting against power is freedom.
Even if it is a national crisis, it is the same now.
The Eagle Country government is in urgent need of soldiers. Recruiting troops on a large scale across the country. But very few responded.
Because there are a large number of non-government anti-epidemic organizations protesting, why did the government open this door to another world to release demons.
Although the government has always emphasized that they did not open the door to the other world, but the devil himself came to the door.
But such an explanation is even worse. Many non-government groups directly jumped out and said that this is God's punishment for Eagle Nation. The devil represents the will of God.
Those magic sticks and cults appeal to young people not to join the army, not to go against the will of God. Don't fall prey to politicians.
Originally, the Eagle Country government was planning to recruit 1 million temporary troops. Because the Central War has killed more than 100,000 people. This is the most costly war for Britain since World War II.
Although from the book point of view, the devil may have killed millions. But the cost of cultivating low-level demons is extremely low.
It only takes 3 years for a fallen demon to be able to fight from birth. In three years, they can build an army of tens of millions of fallen demons. Used as cannon fodder for charging.
Not to mention those monsters. That is a magical creature that relies on magical energy to reproduce in large numbers. Their death is not painless to the demon at all.
But if you want to cultivate a modern army, the investment of each soldier is quite high, especially for Eagle Country. The human cost of this country itself is high.
Soldiers who died in battle need pensions. The death of 100,000 soldiers has already stretched the treasury.
The central government wants to draw the National Guard from the states to the front line. as a defensive force. Then the army formed by the Ministry of National Defense will act as the vanguard to counterattack the demons.
But as soon as this decision was made, it was strongly opposed by the governors of various states. The governors of all states have refused to second the National Guard, citing the need to guard against possible riots in their own states.
Even in some remote states, some governors have shouted: "If the people of our state are to die for those rednecks, then we are willing to go out independently! If you want to force this, then first step on my corpse past!"
Let's not say whether the governor's speech is a show, but if it is a show for him, then he performed well.
Although his reputation has been ruined elsewhere, his approval rating in this state is quite high. A large number of citizens in the state said that this is what a good governor does. And his original public support rate had dropped to only a little over 20% last month, and he looked like he was about to step down soon.
The separation between the central and local governments can be seen from this. And the National Guard, a local military force that has become too big due to historical reasons, has made it difficult to maintain the country.
What made the country even more fragmented was the rise of some civilian armed forces.
In the central region, a name that no one cared about before, slowly began to make a name for itself.
This fame is the Doomsday Salvation Cult.
The main purpose of their sect is to redeem the world in the last days. The government is untrustworthy, politicians are untrustworthy, and the only one who can save himself is himself.
And now the two proud envoys of Doomsday Redemption, Mike and Raymond. are embarking on their missionary journey. Today, the place where they are going to preach is a small town of 300 people.
