Star-Lord's visit is not a big deal to Kai. Just like Star-Lord said, someone else is coming home to visit relatives, and you are not his relative. What are you doing with this nonsense? So Kai didn't take it to heart.

As for the dark elves, Kai only reminded them, nothing more.

First of all, when Star-Lord tells this story, whether others believe it is a question. In the end, Star-Lord is just a person who has nothing to do with the earth. He was born on the earth and grew up in outer space. After the example of Captain Marvel, the earth There is naturally a sense of distrust towards such wandering wanderers.

If you were not born on the earth, you must think about the earth! Just look at so many mangosteens and banana people and you will know that the hearts of others are not with you at all, and their thinking position is also biased toward their own spiritual home, not a so-called birthplace... This thing is really useful, but it is a bit , but not much sincerely.

Captain Marvel has grown up on earth and worked for so long. After leaving the world, he still thinks he is a cosmic being. They even blame the people on Earth for why they can't be more generous. It's already miserable for the Skrulls to lose their homeland, and they have no choice but to invade Earth. Can't you be more considerate?

yes! The demands they made are a bit excessive, but don't you look at what kind of life they lived before and what kind of life they live now? They just want to maintain their standard of living, what's wrong with that? Why can't you be more considerate?

yes! The earth is your home, but they Skrulls are advanced! When they come to the earth, they can promote the development of the earth. Isn't this a good thing? If you want to get something, you must give something. What you lose is freedom, but what you gain is development! Why can't you be more considerate?

yes! They invaded you, so you want to go to war with them? How can you be so barbaric? They are the last Skrulls! This is a great civilization, and you actually want to completely exterminate them? You are so barbaric! Also, why did they invade you? If you can't clap, you must have your own reasons! Can't you have some sympathy for these poor people?

Well, that's probably the tune.

British scholar Ziergt Bauman mentioned in "Thinking Through Sociology" that, in general, traitors and rebels are hated more strongly than open enemies. Throughout history, those who have committed treacherous acts have indeed been despised.

For the enemy, trust has never been given, and there is no emotional investment. The traitor is different, it represents the blasphemy of one's own emotions, and there will be anger. It's like someone telling you that it's a cup of bitter medicine, be prepared to drink it, it's unpleasant but you'll be done with it after you drink it; but someone lied to you that it was a cup of chocolate, and you feel the way you feel after taking a sip without warning.

In short...the earth is still wary of such wanderers returning from the outside. Of course, there aren’t many wanderers on Earth. So don't worry too much.

…

Star-Lord soon arrived on Earth, and his spaceship stopped at a SHIELD base. Of course, now that it's here, it's inevitable to take it apart and study it. Star-Lord is also prepared for this, but he doesn't have much resistance.

"Hello, Quill. I thought you wouldn't be back so soon."

Star-Lord has a relationship with SHIELD, so his arrival must be taken seriously. Director Ms. Hill personally came to the base to welcome Star-Lord. This is just like in the early days of reform, no matter how overseas Chinese returned home, they would be received by leaders. What mattered was what they had in their hands.

For those overseas Chinese, what the leaders value is investment, and what they value about Star-Lord is his intelligence and technology.

"Hello, Ms. Hill. I didn't expect to come back so soon, but something happened, so..." Star-Lord didn't intend to specify what it was, after all, it was a private matter. However, Hill didn't get to the bottom of this. After all, it would be no good to anyone if he really fell out with such a precious little kid. So Hill didn't ask further: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. We still hope you can come back and visit more often. After all, you are also from Earth."

Then Hill looked at Nebula: "I haven't asked yet, who is this..."

"Oh, she is Nebula, Gamora's sister. Due to some personal reasons, she plans to hang out with me on Earth." Star-Lord still didn't explain much.

"That's enough! Peter! How long do we have to stay here? It's so boring here!" Nebula interrupted unceremoniously.

"We'll... wait a minute? Why do you know English?" Star-Lord suddenly discovered that Nebula was speaking authentic English.

Hill was also surprised... Could it be that English has spread throughout the universe? This is good news, because it means that when humans leave the earth, communication and other things will become very simple.

And it’s still English, which means that English-speaking countries can still occupy a lot of advantages after the advent of the cosmic era!

Since the alien invasions several times, the whole world knows that the age of the universe has arrived. Any country with a little ambition knows that this is a new track, just like it was in the Age of Discovery.

If a weak country can seize the opportunity, it can become a strong country in no time.

Just like Spain and Portugal.

You should know that before the Age of Exploration, these two countries were typical poor people in Europe! The domestic land was basically controlled by the church, and a large number of farmers were serfs and tenants, and they were all from the church. The land did not produce much, and they were very poor.

But when they encountered the Age of Exploration, they took off directly and became one of the richest countries in Europe at that time.

Spain even laid the foundation for the first generation of the empire on which the sun never sets!

On the earth, the three major countries are now basically stable, and the European Union is actually just a mess. Not many people believe that Europe and the United States can become a world pole. The influence of a political and economic entity on the global pattern does not actually depend entirely on the amount of wealth, but should be viewed from the following three aspects: influence on global logistics (transportation lines), influence on global resource allocation, and its own ability to act. These three aspects happen to be Europe's geographical disadvantages, which are Europe's three major weaknesses.

The first is that Europe is small in area.

From the perspective of sea power, the United States has the advantage of two oceans. To the east and west, it can influence the two major shipping channels of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans; China faces the Pacific Ocean and has the potential to exert influence in the Indian Ocean in the future, and the Indian Ocean is a key channel connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. After the European countries lost their overseas colonies, the only areas they could influence were the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.

From the perspective of land power, the territories of Russia and China extend to the central areas of Asia, Europe and Africa, which means that both countries have the conditions to connect the three continents by rail - this is also the reason why China's high-speed rail diplomacy has become an important means of connecting the world and enhancing national influence. On the other hand, the European countries are also too remote in their locations on the entire continent. Since the geographical location is not good, can European countries go out and rob again like they did hundreds of years ago? Times are different, the dream of colonization has long gone, and there is no value in robbing some small island countries. What about the big countries? From the perspective of military security, Russia has 17 million square kilometers of land that can be used as a strategic depth for buffering, and China has mountains and plateaus that account for more than 70% of its land area as strategic support. Europe is small in area, mostly with flat plains, easy to attack but difficult to defend, and it is not easy not to be targeted by others.

Secondly, their resources are controlled by others.

If we take Russia out of Europe, we will find that Europe has basically nothing left in terms of natural resources. But European countries simply refuse to admit that Russia is a European country... They automatically and consciously expelled it, and it has been like this for a long time.

Russian scholar O. Cherkovic once gave a set of natural resource valuations for several economies. Roughly speaking, the ratio of Russia, the United States, China, and Europe is 3:1:0.5:0.25. Europe's disadvantage in resources can be seen from this. For example, Germany, the main "engine" of the European economy, needs to rely on imports for more than half of its mineral resources, of which 36% of natural gas and 39% of oil come from Russia, which is not on good terms with it today.

In Europe's heyday, resource problems were solved by overseas colonies. To some extent, the biggest blow to the European economy during World War II was not how many industrial facilities were blown up, but the national liberation movements that followed in various colonies. The former colonies of European countries have become independent sovereign states, on an equal footing with the former sovereign states. Today, Europe has two major sources of resources, one is the Middle East and the other is southern Africa. However, in these two regions, Europe's influence is fading rapidly, which means that in the future, Europe must increasingly look at the faces of other major powers on resource issues.

Finally, there is a lack of internal unity.

The flat terrain in Western Europe is suitable for living, but it determines that it is difficult to form a unified country here. Due to the lack of geographical barriers, the vassal states in ancient Europe had nothing to rely on to ensure security except for building castles and expanding their armies. In this way, the history of Europe is just like what we see now, with countries fighting each other, and no one has a chance to breathe and grow stronger. When you are strong, you can attack others everywhere, but once you encounter a natural disaster or a change of regime, the national situation will be reversed and you will be passively beaten, and all the previous results will be reset to zero.

This situation has continued from ancient times to modern times, all the way to the two world wars. After thousands of years of fighting, although countries have been divided and united, and borders have changed from time to time, Europe is still full of states. As time goes by, there are obvious differences and distances between countries. Although this sense of distance is not as great as that between China, Japan and South Korea, it can definitely ruin anything that requires overall coordination and concerted action in Europe.

In addition to the three major weaknesses, there is a bigger obstacle on the road to development in the future of Europe, that is, their mentality. The domestic problems of their countries are actually very serious. For example, the Gallic chickens, their economy has been almost dragged down by domestic welfare and pensions, and the proportion of foreign population has seriously affected the population structure. These people are not Gauls. Others have their own culture and have not been assimilated at all. They come to Gaul to live a good life. Once life is not good, others can run away at any time without any hesitation.

This kind of thing is very common throughout Europe.

Their mentality has not changed at all. Now is a time of great contention. If a country wants to develop, then the people's morale must be united, and the same applies to resources and the economy, rather than just giving out welfare and just wanting to live a comfortable life!

They would only do that if they just want to lie flat.

The three major countries have done a good job in this regard. They are not welfare states, so resources can be more concentrated!

Why don’t you let those European countries try?

However, many small countries are eyeing this covetously. In the era of the universe, who knows who will be the first to reap the dividends? So all countries have begun to invest in aerospace, even the half-dead ones, but those European countries can’t do anything.

Many of them have seen the future, but they can’t do it just because they see it. The EU as a whole is okay, but the problem is that they are not a whole. Who pays more and who pays less, they have to fight. Who enjoys more results and who enjoys less results, they also have to fight!

In short, it’s a mess.

But it is undeniable that everyone actually has some ideas about these things in their hearts. For example, Hill’s idea just now, she represents the ideas of many people. The earth has never become a whole. Everyone has their own ideas. The earth has always been just a geographical term or a planet name, not a whole.

"What's so strange about this? The English you speak is just a backward and primitive language. It's not difficult. The quantum brain in my head only needs to collect some of your words and compare them to restore them... Of course, there may be some problems with some words, but as long as there are enough samples, I can perfectly copy your English."

Nebula was a little dissatisfied with the two people's fuss, just like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

You should know that there are really not too many languages ​​in the universe. In comparison, human pronunciation organs are very simple, which leads to human language being relatively uncomplicated. There are many alien races whose pronunciation organs are very complex or even weird, and even the frequency of pronunciation is very complex, so those languages ​​are difficult to learn.

In comparison, English is not difficult.

Hill's original happy mood disappeared all of a sudden.

"We still need some disguise... After all, your appearance."

Star Lord didn't feel unhappy. Nebula was just like this, not ruthless at all, and even deliberately harsh, but Star Lord was used to it. When she was on the spaceship before, she was even more excessive.

"What's wrong with me like this?" Nebula looked at Star Lord unhappily.

Nebula's appearance is actually not bad, even from a human perspective. Her facial features are delicate and three-dimensional, but her skin color and hairstyle are a bit fierce.

Blue skin is not uncommon in outer space, and many people even like it. At least Star-Lord thinks it's good, and of course Gamora's green skin is also very good.

But her bald head is a bit difficult to support.

"Ah! No, no!" Who is Hill? He can basically see Nebula's personality in a short while. She is the type that is difficult to deal with, and she also looks down on the earth... It's nothing, others are developed, and others are right.

"Although Miss Nebula's appearance... well, it's a bit special, but it's not uncommon in today's society. There's no need to pretend."
