Chapter 4518 4520 [Turning the World Upside Down]

After the liberation of North and South America, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and other countries sent troops to support the global resistance movement.

Especially America, which has the largest population and the most developed economy, sent more than 200 ships and more than 30,000 soldiers to help Europe. Of course, these soldiers are basically believers of the Goddess Church.

The strength of the European Goddess Church believers naturally increased greatly with this strong support, especially the British resistance army, which was already on par with the British Royal Army.

Now with this powerful reinforcement, the balance immediately tilted in their favor. In the end, they defeated the last 100,000 main forces of the British Royal Army in Bedford, and then marched to the gates of London.

King George II of England, having lost his main army and without any strong support, was forced to surrender to the rebels, who then announced the abolition of the British monarchy and replaced it with a republic.

Abolish the king, princes, hereditary nobles, titles of nobility, and the privileges they enjoy, and redraw the political districts. Abolish the status of the Anglican Church and cancel the privileges of the church.

But Xiang Nan issued an oracle to stop them from confiscating the church's property.

Because simply abolishing the status and privileges of the Anglican Church was already very offensive, Xiang Nan did not dare to be too radical. Otherwise, if God really showed up, it would be a big trouble.

……

Upon learning of the news of the change in Britain, Weatherby said to Xiang Nan, "I didn't expect the world to change so fast."

Once upon a time, he was the Governor of Jamaica appointed by the King of England, but now the King of England has become a commoner. Not only was his noble title stripped away, but even his property was confiscated by the new government.

It can be said that his current status is even lower than mine. At least I am still the head of Jamaica and the ruler of one side.

"It's really fast." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, "However, this is an era of great change. No one knows what will happen in the future."

From the 18th century to the 20th century, in just two hundred years, the whole world underwent dramatic changes.

The world was in the agricultural age before the Industrial Revolution. In just two hundred years, three industrial revolutions have taken place, and technology has greatly advanced, productivity has greatly increased, and human life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The world pattern has also undergone tremendous changes in the past two hundred years.

At the end of the 18th century, Britain became the undisputed hegemon of the world after the Seven Years' War. Two hundred years later, at the end of the 20th century, Britain had completely lost its glory as the British Empire and became a follower of its former younger brother, the United States.

In the 18th century, the United States was still a British colony. Two hundred years later, the United States has firmly established itself as a top world power, the only superpower in the world.

In the 18th century, Middle-earth was still one of the world's top powers, with its GDP accounting for more than 30% of the world's total. It defeated the powerful Dzungar Khanate of the time, reducing it to nothing but a place name, and frightened the whole world.

A hundred years later, it suffered a century of humiliation. Even a country as small as a sesame seed dared to show off its power in the Middle Earth. But a hundred years later, this humiliated country rose again and returned to the ranks of the world's top powers.

"That makes sense." Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "I really hope I can live longer and witness more miracles."

"Don't worry, I will." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

...Afterwards, the British Commonwealth, the American Commonwealth and other countries also sent troops to reinforce the resistance war on the European continent.

With their strong support, the rebels in many countries including France, Austria, Prussia, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden and others finally won.

Those kings and nobles were forced to surrender, their noble titles and privileges were revoked, and they became commoners. The Christian religions in various countries also lost their status as state religions, and also lost their privileges.

In this way, they will need to compete with the Goddess Church for believers on an equal footing, and Xiang Nan believes that his Goddess Church's ability to compete for believers will definitely be stronger than that of Christianity.

Because the believers of the Goddess Church are more pious, more cohesive, and more motivated to preach.

The most important point is that the Goddess Church has no exit mechanism. Once you are determined to leave the church, you will suffer from a serious disease, so you can only stay in the church. In this way, there is only entry and no exit, and the number will naturally increase rather than decrease.

Christianity does not have such a mechanism, and its restraint on believers is far less strong than that of the Goddess Church. Whether people go to church or worship is not mandatory.

Of course, this refers to Christianity after the Reformation in the 18th century.

Before this, Christianity was still very restrictive. If a person did not believe in Christianity and did not go to church, he would be considered a wizard, witch, or pagan and punished. The witch hunt at that time really killed many people by mistake.

As Europe won victory after victory, the resistance struggles in Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia and India also won victory.

Australia officially became independent and, like the United States, became a federal country. Mozambique, Angola, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Ivory Coast in Africa, and Southeast Asia and India in Asia became theocratic countries after independence.

It is worth mentioning that in the 18th century, only some princely states and strongholds of the Indian subcontinent were occupied by Britain, France, Portugal and other countries, and not all of them were occupied by the colonists.

The rebels basically came from these princely states and strongholds, accounting for less than 1% of the population of the Indian subcontinent. Therefore, the vast majority of Indians still believe in Hinduism.

……

"In this case, the only things missing are the interior of Africa, the Middle East, Russia, India and Middle-earth. There won't be much change." Xiang Nan said as he looked at the map in front of him.

The interior of Africa is full of jungles and wild animals, and it is still a wild area. Although people survive there, outsiders have not explored there until now.

The Middle East is a region that believes in Islam. The Ottoman Empire, although in decline, is still the overlord of the region. It would be difficult to spread religion there without defeating it.

Russia is a cold and bitter land in the north, located inland and far away from the ocean, so the Church of the Goddess of the Sea is not very powerful there, with only a small number of believers, and therefore has not caused much trouble.

However, Xiang Nan was not worried, because ancient Russia had always imitated the West.

After Peter the Great ascended the throne, he sent people to Western Europe to study science and technology, set up factories, build ships, develop trade, reform the military, etc. It can almost be said that he completely westernized.

That is why, as most European countries have changed, Xiang Nan believes that Russia will soon follow suit. They may even think that believing in the Goddess Church will be fashionable.

Most parts of India still believe in Hinduism, while China is basically dominated by Buddhism and Taoism. However, this does not mean that the Goddess Church has no possibility of development. After all, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom almost overturned the world.
