Of course, as a former nun of the Evangelical Church, Iger could think of extending the authority of the Evangelical Church on his first day as a priest. Maria was too late to be happy. How could she really object?
However, this matter is somewhat contrary to Maria's original intention of wanting Egg to be a priest.
Simply put, Maria hopes that Iger and others will keep a low profile and live to adulthood first.
During this period, Maria slowly developed the gospel team through her own efforts. She waited until she had a certain ability to protect herself, at least in front of the military, before announcing Egger's true identity.
Even if it causes a big disturbance at that time, the gospel team will be able to handle it.
Perhaps the greatest enemy of mankind is the infected, but the greatest enemy of the Holy Son is mankind.
Neither Maria nor Lily have gone to school, but compared to Lily, who is a bit "silly and sweet", Maria's understanding of reality is not bad.
Of course, it does not mean that Maria and Lily have not received education, they have received "home education".
Simply put, although America stipulates that children must receive compulsory education, there are three ways for parents to make free choices, namely public schools, private schools and home education.
Among them, the requirements for home education can be said to be very strict or very strict, or they can be said to be broad or very broad.
If you hire a tutor, the tutor must have a teaching qualification certificate, and the teacher's guidance must be at least 3 hours a day and no less than 175 days per school year.
However, there are two situations where you can easily apply for home education without a teacher qualification certificate, such as religious education or traditional cultural education.
The traditional cultural education here is so broad that it only requires one reason. Basically, as long as you are an ethnic minority, you can apply for home education on the grounds that you teach your children traditional culture.
Of course, this kind of thing is actually dropping out of school in disguise.
Among the people who study traditional culture, Native Americans are the most numerous, Lao Mo ranks second, and Lao Hei ranks third.
The vast majority of Chinese Americans cannot understand that these people who are originally from the bottom of society take the initiative to make their children drop out of school, thereby depriving them of the opportunity to change their life destiny through education.
However, people also have their reasons.
First, you can’t learn anything even if you go to school. After all, this is an era where even the 11=11 teacher can give you a “√”.
Second, although children drop out of school, there is a high probability that they will join various gangs, but to a certain extent, the safety factor of joining a gang may be higher than studying in school.
As for religious education, the priest personally applies for it, which is simply a matter of saying hello.
There should not be too many religious schools in America.
Lily had received almost the same kind of religious education since she was a child. After all, Vance had raised Lily in an evangelical church for the reason of going to school.
It is said that although Father Locke is not as knowledgeable as those professors in the university, his knowledge is very broad. Many classes do not even require textbooks, only a box of chalk and a blackboard.
When the two children, Maria and Lily, were attending this class, they were just listening to horror stories.
Growing up under this strange religious education, Maria and Lily formed completely different outlooks and personalities.
Maria did not want Sister Alison to read out Egg's decree on the radio because she knew too well how much commotion it would cause once it was released.
Among other things, there are many Protestants within the evangelical team, not to mention that America has an absolute majority of Protestants, which is true everywhere.
As for why Lily didn't stop Sister Alison, firstly, Sister Alison's move was so sudden that Lily didn't even react in her surprise. Secondly, Lily believed that the evangelical church has the freedom to issue its own decrees, even if she
I have some personal opinions, but I cannot unreasonably obstruct them.
At this point, the broadcast has been sent out, and there is no way to take it back.
Maria had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare to face the stormy waves.
However, more than ten days have passed, and the number of people doing business in Jixi Town has not decreased at all. There are still so many people coming and going. The stormy waves that Maria imagined have not come, and everything seems to be very calm.
This is because most people in life are pan-believers, whether they are members of the gospel team or those who have just moved to Puduo County, everyone is starting a new life with hope.
Maria relied on herself to judge others, thinking that everyone regarded religion as more important than life and death. Of course she was wrong.
If it were in the previous life, Ige's decree would have definitely aroused fierce opposition from people in the religious community. They would have incited believers in their own jurisdictions and formed a terrifying wave of protests and demonstrations.
Now, let's put it this way, put two Bibles in front of you, one is Catholic and the other is Protestant. What do you think is the difference?
Of course, there are differences, for example, the Protestant Bible is thinner, but to ordinary people, there is no difference.
The same principle can be applied to those competing products with extremely small differences. Perhaps it is because their differences are so small that they can be ignored, so insiders are extremely sensitive to competition.
As a layman, Egger keenly discovered that religion began to take root again after people's lives stabilized. The timing of his edict was just right.
Anyway, I just want Coke with ice. I don't care if it's Coke or Pepsi. Just fill it up for me.
This is called wall grass, falling in the wind.
With the promotion of the Single Decree, things that Maria originally thought would definitely cause big problems passed easily.
For Mary, the miraculousness was no accident, perhaps it was a real miracle.
As the Evangelical Church began to officially preach, the number of believers increased exponentially, and Jixi Town, the new center of Puduo County, was even more overcrowded.
Sister Alison had to ask Egger for permission to build a new prayer room in Quick Creek Town.
Maria looked at Sister Alison, who was so busy that she had to run around every day and exuded vitality. Her heart was suddenly filled with uncontrollable jealousy: This was everything that belonged to me.
…
After Dina's workplace was moved to the headquarters, she has been working here for many days.
Generally speaking, the working conditions here are definitely more comfortable than in other crowded areas. At least there is a constant-temperature air circulation system, and there is no need to crowd with other people in a stuffy cabin with accommodation standards for 8 people.
Like Raswurburg, Clavelsburg operates at minimum power in order to reduce energy consumption as much as possible.
Fort Clavells is the largest of the three doomsday bunkers.
Fort Clavells has a complete command system, which commands the entire military control area and also controls 7 satellites in different orbits.
Of course, the military at Fort Clavells is just one branch of America's huge, complex military system with countless branches. However, with just the little skin it inherited, it is already extremely powerful.
Fort Clavells is the headquarters, and except for the elite guards and handymen, everyone else is a member of the general's headquarters.
After all, we have to manage a control area with more than 10,000 people, and there are at least 10 exchanges of fire with infected people every day. Without so many people, there is no way to make the control area run smoothly.
In this military-controlled area, Dina is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
After the Class V administrator of Fort Clavells became an infected person, there is currently a vacancy for the Class V administrator. Now Clavells Fort is under the over-level command of the general with Level VI authority.
There are three people with Level IV authority in Clavellsburg, one is Dina, one is the general’s other secretary Silina, and the other is Dr. Pekes.
There are 7 people with Level III authority.
The others are all small fish and shrimps.
An extremely absurd idea suddenly came to Dina's mind. If the general and Silina suddenly had an accident while patrolling the front line, and Dr. Pecos, who was only half-breathed, happened to burp, wouldn't it mean that she would become a doctor?
The top commander of the military?
This kind of ridiculous thing is not impossible to happen, and the probability of it happening is very high.
Unlike the Central Plains where the prince's status is unique and everyone else is equal, America's custom is succession.
If a person burps, all the relatives in his family will be ranked from No. 1 downwards, including everyone, even the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt. Each person will receive a number, and this number is the order of succession.
By the same token, public authorities in America also use this method.
Egg and the others guessed right. The general was only a lieutenant colonel before the outbreak of the blood epidemic. It happened that he was inspecting Fort Clavells as an inspector.
When the blood epidemic broke out, people with higher official positions in the military organization where the general worked either became infected or were eaten by colleagues who became infected. He jumped from the 21st place to become
became the top commander of this military organization.
This may have become the fastest promotion record in the history of America and will never be surpassed in the future. It only took 30 minutes to move from a colonel to a general with level VI authority.
The general was completely confused by being suddenly promoted to such a high position. It took nearly three days for him and the first survivors to kill all the infected people in Clavellsburg.
Later, the general began to learn to control the bunker. By the time he discovered the desperate letter from Chrisburg, Chrisburg had been gone for a long time.
In fact, those three people did not really want to die. As long as Clavelsburg responded, they would not be so desperate that they would fly a plane to disperse their wealth.
Subsequently, the general used the remaining survivors in Clavellsburg and the rich supplies in the bunker to recruit troops and expand his control area, slowly extending the military's control area to the edge of the urban agglomeration.
Dina only knew one thing but not the other. She didn't know the reason why the general was fighting with the infected people on the edge of the city.
There was an important reminder in the previous gospel broadcast. If you want to defeat the infected in an area, you must first destroy the blood plague brain that controls the area.
The general had a hunch that in this city with a population of over one million, there was very likely to be a headquarters like Fort Clavells. By destroying it, the infected's control network could be defeated.
Through the continuous exploration of the scout team, they finally determined the location of the Blood Plague Brain.
However, it is not a simple matter to attack this blood plague brain. The general has come up with a good way in the past few days.
