Chapter 862: The First Expedition of Humanity on Earth(2/4)
era."
"What do you want to say?"
Coulson instantly became alert.
Because he knew that the young man in front of him was no longer a pawn in anyone's hands, but a powerful force that could influence the global political situation.
Especially after Grant Ward fully succumbed to the cult of devil worship, he launched a religious war in the new century through a series of means, suppressing all religions that once had a strong influence on human society, including Roman Catholicism.
When it collapses and disintegrates, it can only survive on a small scale.
The mantras "God bless" and "Jesus Christ bless" that were once very popular in Europe and America have now become "the devil bless".
Because most people are very realistic and snobbish.
What's more, compared to believing in God and Jesus Christ for a lifetime and not knowing whether the promised paradise after death really exists, the great demon Zuo Si and the ninth level of Baator Hell he rules are displayed in front of everyone.
In order to appease the public's possible panic, many TV stations even went to the huge cyberpunk city to shoot dozens of documentaries from different angles.
In addition, the Lord of Hell is a quasi-divine power that can bestow real and genuine magical powers on gifted believers. It is obvious what ordinary people would choose.
This is like two religious groups competing for believers. One of them hands out steamed buns, egg stamps and milk to visitors, while the other reaches out to believers for money.
The most important thing is that the teachings of Zuo Si, the great devil, are very simple and not hypocritical at all, and are very in line with the appetite of modern people.
The overall lawful evil tendency can also provide support for the Human League to launch foreign wars.
With the blessing of this double BUFF, those traditional religions that could have been swept into the garbage heap of history were naturally defeated and unable to fight back.
As for their ultimate method of inciting believers to launch riots, destroying, looting, and burning property and believers of rival religions, it is nothing compared to the Devil's Church, which possesses magical powers and is highly organized.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not to mention how terrifying those magics that can affect the mind on a large scale have a dimension-reducing blow to ordinary people. Just the two sides fighting with fists, sticks, bats and other weapons,
The latter can also push the former to the ground and beat him violently.
Moreover, most religious leaders who dare to incite such riots will die suddenly and without warning within a few days, and some even bring their entire family to death.
If priests, mages, druids and other spellcasters from Faerûn were allowed to inspect the corpses, they would immediately confirm that all of them died of a magical curse.
But the problem is that there are very few spellcasters on the earth, and most of them are concentrated in Kama Taj.
Most of the mages trained by SHIELD were abducted by Hydra.
Therefore, these deaths can only be attributed to sudden illnesses and accidents after investigation.
However, Coulson undoubtedly knew that Grant Ward was the backer of the Devil's Order, and even the church's top leaders secretly obeyed his orders.
This is also why Hydra was able to respond to hundreds of calls after being cleared, and quickly established huge prestige and influence among the people.
"What I want to say is that you don't actually need to be so hostile and wary of me.
Because the purpose of Hydra has never been simple killing, destruction, destruction, slavery, and dictatorship.
It is to better lead all mankind towards a glorious and powerful future.
Look at the world and look at the ugly faces of politicians colluding with capital. Don’t you think it’s time for humankind to change?
Only we can end the exploitation and oppression dominated by capital since the 19th century.
Only we can build a country that no alien civilization dares to easily provoke."
When he said these words, Grant Ward opened his arms as if to embrace the giant globe that represented the People's Union in front of him. His tone, eyes, and movements were full of strong suggestiveness and incitement.
As the spokesperson personally chosen by Zuo Si, he looks more and more like a devil in terms of his thoughts, ideology, and daily actions.
If nothing else happens, one day after his death, his soul will go to Baator Hell, and he may be transformed into a high-level devil without even entering the torture chamber.
"Sorry, due to your previous behavior, I can no longer believe a word that comes out of your mouth."
Colson refused the invitation without hesitation.
To be exact, this is not the first time.
And he knew that many people in SHIELD had already believed this statement and began to completely support Hydra.
It must be said that this situation made the director who had just taken office very angry and had a headache.
You must know that since the end of World War II, Hydra has relied on the parasitic S.H.I.E.L.D. to develop bit by bit and become a huge and all-pervasive secret organization.
Coulson originally thought that with the fall of Alexander Pierce and Hydra fully exposed to the sun and participating in politics, the two sides should completely draw a clear line and there would be no more entanglements.
But who would have thought that Grant Ward, that damn bastard, would win over the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around him every day, talk about great things, and suddenly reach into the inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. again.
If he could, he really wanted to tear up his face and yell at the other party, "Are you damn Hydras just staring at our SHIELD sheep to death?"
But the problem is that Coulson can't do that.
Let’s not talk about how high Grant Ward’s reputation and nominal support rate are. Just because he has a seat in the top decision-making circle of the People’s Federation, he is nominally the direct superior of S.H.I.E.L.D.
So no matter how angry, unwilling and annoyed you are, you must endure it.
"Well, it seems I still need to prove myself with practical actions."
Seeing that he failed to convince his old superior, Grant Ward was not discouraged. He just smiled politely and then took the shuttle to the flagship of the expedition fleet.
You must know that he is the commander-in-chief of this organization that has gathered all the resources and military power of the earth. He is also the representative sent by the highest decision-making level of the People's Federation.
So when Grant Ward appeared in the command room of the flagship, several nuclear bombs were immediately launched, blooming with dazzling light in outer space orbit.
It is not only a signal for the expeditionary force to set sail, but also a response to all the people on earth who are looking forward to this war.
When the light of the nuclear explosion gradually dissipated, the antimatter engine of the flagship began to work at full strength, and then a wormhole was torn open under the influence of huge gravity and gravity. The giant ship with a length of more than 30 kilometers disappeared without a trace in an instant.
But the disappearance of the Victory was just the beginning.
In less than ten seconds, the other battleships turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the orbit of the earth and the moon.
Obviously, since there is no subspace in this universe, when the hyperdrive exceeds the critical point, it will open a wormhole, using the four-dimensional space to quickly cross the terrifying astronomical unit of light years.
When the huge fleet jumped out of the other end of the wormhole, it had successfully reached its destination, a galaxy with double stars and more than a dozen planets.
Looking at the two bright and dazzling stars, one red and one blue, Iron Man Tony Stark immediately exclaimed: "There is no night on the surface of the planet here?!"
"No, it's not that there is no night, it's just that the night time is relatively short.
Because the planet close to the side of the star will block the light of the planet behind it.
Therefore, the day and night cycle here is not the long-term slow alternation of the earth, but every three or four hours of daylight, followed by almost thirty minutes of night.
And according to previous investigations, the environments of the three outermost planets here are very suitable for human habitation.
With just a few modifications, large-scale immigration can be carried out immediately.”
A navigator in military uniform posted information about the entire galaxy on a big screen for everyone to see.
If you observe carefully, you will find that more than two-thirds of the people immediately became extremely excited and excited when they heard that there were really three planets available for colonization.
When the expeditionary fleet was being set up, in order to gain support from the entire society, the People's Federation not only promised large profits to those big companies, big consortiums, and big capital, but also did not forget to give ordinary people a big pie.
Take the soldiers in the army as an example. As long as they win in the end, everyone can get a full 5,000 hectares of land.
Whether it's farming, tourism or anything else, it's all up to you.
If you happen to discover valuable minerals underground, you can take off and become a rich man in a matter of minutes.
As we all know, land is the most primitive and basic means of production.
Since ancient times, humans have been fighting for land. Until the rise of industrial capital and financial capital in modern times, its importance has not diminished at all.
No one would not desire to have a piece of land that belongs entirely to themselves. That kind of huge temptation is unmatched by any other money or wealth.
Otherwise, Bill Gates, who relied on technology to become the richest man in the world, would not have become the largest landowner in the United States.
Other wealthy people will basically hold a considerable area of land after becoming rich.
Therefore, driven by such huge interests, the morale and fighting will of the soldiers of the expeditionary force cannot be lowered.
Just when the entire fleet was immersed in fantasizing about a better life in the future, a piercing siren suddenly sounded.
The officer in charge of the radar immediately followed and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Spaceships of unknown origin were found on the right side of the fleet. There are a lot of them, almost twice as many as us. Judging from their appearance, they should be the Most people of this galaxy!"
"Oh? Did you discover us so soon?"
Grant Ward's eyes shone slightly as he stared at the densely packed bright spots on the combat map, and he subconsciously clenched his fists nervously.
Although he already knew that the technological level and comprehensive strength of this group of aliens could not compete with the expeditionary force, it was still his first time to fight an interstellar war with a non-human civilization and he still felt unsure.
After all, influenced by various science fiction works and the experience of dealing with alien civilizations several times in the new century, humans will always subconsciously feel that alien weapons and equipment must be more advanced.
In fact, not only Grant Ward, but also everyone else in the flagship command room showed serious expressions.
Since they had basically zero experience in this area, the officers adopted the most conservative strategy.
As orders were issued one after another, the expedition fleet quickly formed a combat formation, and the shield system was activated from a long distance away, for fear that the other party would have some ultra-long-range energy weapons to fire on it.
As the distance between the two fleets got closer and closer, the Most people began to try to send out communication requests, hoping to negotiate with this group of people who suddenly broke into their homeland and avoid the outbreak of war through negotiation.
Having entered the space age, they can easily judge the strength of the other party from the energy sources of these battleship engines.
If they really fight, even if they win, it will be a miserable victory.
It's a pity that humans, who have already made up their mind to exterminate all humans, have no interest in negotiating or negotiating.
Grant Ward even directly and secretly gave orders to Black Widow, asking the mercenaries in charge of the latter to create excuses for war, so that his subsequent "counterattack" would seem natural.
