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 bigwigs of the Brotherhood of Steel witnessed the birth of an emperor, although this was self-proclaimed by Mr. Zhou.

As a landlord, the head of the Mormon Church, Adams, came forward enthusiastically to welcome Zhou Qingfeng. He even joked happily: "His Majesty Hugo, we are very honored to have your arrival. We have all kinds of titles here, but we really lack one."

Adams was in his eighties. He casually wore a rainbow robe representing peace, and walked up to Zhou Qingfeng with a staff in his hand. A teacher introduced his identities to the two, and Zhou Qingfeng also expressed his respect for the leader in a friendly manner.

Because Utah is too poor, has too few people, and has a relatively single faith, its crime rate is also very low in the United States. As a result, during the catastrophe, the world is in chaos and demons are dancing, and the losses suffered by the Mormon Church are relatively small.

Adams was the leader of the church before the catastrophe. He was very different from other upstarts who had emerged through fighting and fighting. He had been a big man for decades, but he had a long-term noble in his bones.

He has a kind attitude, free conversation and laughter, and his words are kind but not polite, making people feel like a bath in the spring breeze. This nobleman looked older, but he was very good at bringing closer relationships. He personally introduced several other leaders of the Brotherhood of Steel to Zhou Qingfeng, and everyone gathered around and had a great chat.

Uncle Zhou is young and energetic, quick-thinking, generous and calm in his words and demeanor, and occasionally with a small edge of a needle hidden in the cotton. He is both close to many senior brotherhood leaders he just met and maintains a certain distance, and is quite sophisticated.

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng chatting and laughing with everyone, Adams Mirage didn't say much, just observed. After a while, he let out a statement that he was tired and retreated to rest. Then he turned around and walked into the dedicated prayer room in the church, and the old man's expression changed from kindness to indifferent.

In the prayer room, several bishops in the Mormon Church who held real power were there. Everyone looked at the crown of Adams who came in, and no one spoke easily.

Adams first walked under the statue of Jesus and drew a cross, prayed softly for a few words, and shook his head slightly at everyone and said, "I think this Lord Victor Hugo is afraid it will be difficult for him to accept the glory of our Lord."

Alas..., the bishops sighed suddenly. Everyone lowered their heads, quite frustrated at the judgment of the head of the church.

"He is smart, confident, has great power, and is not confused. This is not a lamb who can be easily tamed. He is still a Chinese, his language, appearance, and culture are different from us. He is even unable to drink the wine we like, which makes it more difficult for us to win him over."

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

Zhou Qingfeng came to attend the "North American Security Summit" this time, and this move was regarded by many as the "Second Marshall Plan". It is unreasonable that Europe can rise again in ruins after World War II, and America cannot.

The United States, which implemented the "Marshall Plan", is at least similar to European countries in terms of race and culture, but Zhou Qingfeng is too different from white people.

In the eyes of others, providing goods is just a transaction, but for a charlatan like the Mormon Church who relies on fooling people to make a living, it is inevitable that cultural invasion will be faced. The flower planters who "reform and opening up" that year had faced this situation, which was very difficult to deal with.

In order to avoid being impacted, it is best to make Victor Hugo a Christian. Unfortunately, this idea is afraid that it won't work...

"We'd better rebuild our own production system, and at most we can buy machinery and equipment from the Aurora Legion."

"Do you know how many machines it requires? How many workers it requires? This kind of thing also requires a strong government, and there will be no results without thirty years. This is not something that the current split America can achieve."

"Before the Cataclysm, we relied heavily on flower-growing goods, and now we can avoid it? Even if we work hard to restore the production system, the Aurora Legion can extinguish all our hopes at a low price."

Several bishops were talking in a low voice, while Adams looked at Jesus as if he was dazed. After a while, he whispered again: "We cannot refuse the goods of the Aurora Legion, but we cannot let him use money to settle all problems, let alone let him split our Brotherhood of Steel."

The bishops fell silent and looked at their leader. Everyone knew about this, but the question was what to do?

There was no expression of excitement on Adams' face. He was neither angry nor angry when talking about the current bad situation, but only calm. But his plain words were filled with great determination and strength.

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

But we cannot allow an outsider to change our culture and our dominance. We need to stick to it, resist, and fight back."

After Adams finished speaking, a bishop quickly interrupted, "This Victor Hugo is simply a demon with no faith. He has promoted atheism in Mexico. This has repeatedly blocked our missionaries and even unable to do public activities."

"Now he is coming to our territory again, and there will definitely be a large number of people with unstable faith being bewitched by him. Recently, several communication satellites he launched are being piloted, and although they are just some songs, they are very attractive to young people who are currently lacking in entertainment."

"He even tried to forcefully 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 rushing to buy this kind of thing, and they don't wear butter when eating bread."

It sounds like it is very miserable... It is about to be destroyed.

"We should emphasize our needs and not let the Aurora Legion dominate." Faced with the current situation, Adams Coron, as a religious leader, naturally has to come forward to solve the problem. "First of all, our agriculture is the most promising to recover, and solving this problem can increase our bargaining chips."

The agriculture in America is very developed, and it has a very good crop planting environment. Many crop exports are the best in the world. Many people think that American military-industrial enterprises are very awesome, but they pale in comparison with American agricultural product enterprises.

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

Several bishops nodded in agreement.

"As for industry..." Adams paused in contemplation. The industry in America is naturally developed, but it is not easy to recover to the catastrophe. Especially heavy industry, with large investment, slow results, and particularly high technical requirements.

Zhou Qingfeng has been fetching American wool for more than two years in the apocalypse for nearly three years. He had used barter trading to exchange various heavy industrial equipment, which made it even more difficult to restore American industry.

"We can at least restore some light industry and solve some employment problems," said one bishop. "While it will be difficult to operate at the beginning, we can provide some trade subsidies and government procurement to support it."

Adams nodded and praised, "Finally, it is the service industry. This is our strength, and there are many talents. We can gain a great advantage in this regard."

Although the situation is still not optimistic, someone must stick to this battle against the Aurora Legion. Compared to the frustrated face at the beginning, the bishops who discussed some development directions finally had a little smile.
