Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 33 Unexpected
"News from our station: Pope Benedict XVI of the Vatican announced today that he has received instructions from the Lord, instructing Catholics around the world to honor their parents; do not kill; do not; do not steal; do not give false testimony to frame others; do not covet other people's wives and property Believe in original sin; believe in redemption; be justified by faith; believe in heaven and eternal faith; hell and eternal punishment; believe in the end of the world, but at the same time express that if the world can follow the above-mentioned admonitions, then the so-called end of the world in 2012 will not come. Breaking, a world of benevolence and caring, will only be blessed and protected by the Lord, and will not be cursed to perpetually fall into the region," CNN reported.

"News from this station: Khamenei, the spiritual leader of Islamic Shia sects, warns Christians all over the world to follow the six principles of believing in Allah, believing in angels, believing in scriptures, believing in prophets, believing in the afterlife, and believing in the past. The good deeds and five religious lessons that must be followed on the basis of faith, make their own contributions to world peace and stability, and call on governments of all countries to let go of their prejudices and seek the gospel for the common interests of mankind," Russia's No. [-] TV station reported.

"Special issue of our newspaper: The Patriarch of the All-Russian Orthodox Church and the Patriarch in Istanbul issued a joint edict," Huaxia People's Daily wrote.

Looking at these media reports, I finally let out a sigh of relief. I have been entangled with the things I caused last time these days. Now it seems that the situation is showing signs of stability. No matter what kind of karmic merits and virtues, as long as there are no major disasters, then you will be fine.Thinking of this, I smiled smugly.But are things really that simple?

In a conference room in the White House of the Presidential Palace of the United States, Bush glanced at all the people present with a solemn expression, and said in a serious tone: "I believe that everyone here has confirmed one thing that the gods have come to this world!" All members of the National Security Council, including Vice President Cheney, Secretary of State Powell, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Henry Shelton, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency George Tenet, were shocked. Immediately, his gaze became extremely complicated.

The United States has a strong religious atmosphere. Christianity is the foundation of their country and has played a huge role in establishing the national system, maintaining family ethics and social justice.In the United States, nearly 95 percent of people profess to believe in God.There are 1100 radio stations and 200 TV stations in the United States who are enthusiastic about religious programs, and 82% of people point out that religious thoughts and the values ​​they promote have enhanced their self-awareness and self-confidence.Sixty-three percent said their religious beliefs allowed them to tell the difference between right and wrong, so that when they did something wrong, there was a moral standard inside them that prevented them from doing so.63% of people said that religious thinking not only taught them to respect themselves, but also taught them to respect others.Many elements of American traditional values, such as equality and freedom, friendship and mutual assistance, sympathy for the weak, self-respect and self-love, and respect for others, are all derived from the values ​​and philosophy of life advocated by religious beliefs.Even during election campaigns, a candidate's religious beliefs are an important factor in his or her success in the election.But now, in the most powerful superpower in the world, a transcendent existence is extremely unacceptable to the people in power in this country. In the past, the people in power would not have any resistance to gods, or they themselves really believed in , but that is only limited to God not interfering in the human world in the kingdom of heaven. Once he really intervenes, he has touched the power of the world's rulers for so long, which is taboo for anyone standing at the top of the pyramid. In front of them, how to choose?
"Mr. President, you see, can we choose to turn a blind eye and wait for the Lord to leave?" White House Chief of Staff Kad cautiously proposed after seeing the silence on everyone's faces.

"Compromise?" Bush's face was a little gloomy. After all, no one in the world could make the powerful US government compromise before, not even Soviet Russia during the Cold War!But now..."Mr. President, the Pope of the Vatican has sent a diplomatic note to our country and the other four permanent members, expressing his hope to start talks on the Iraqi issue, the Middle East peace issue and some humanitarian issues, and sincerely hopes that our US government will We can do more on these issues." Secretary of State Colin Powell said to Bush at this time.

"What! These issues are our business. When did we get in touch with them? We got involved with the Security Council." Hearing this, Bush slapped the table angrily and shouted.

"Isn't God backing them up?" General Henry Shelton said helplessly.

As the core of Catholicism in the world, the Vatican has a sacred status. From the Middle Ages to modern society, although its influence has become weak and governments of various countries have gotten rid of the control of the Holy See, its unparalleled historical heritage still profoundly affects the whole world. Catholic believers, when all believers unite to make one voice, even if it is as powerful as the United States, they should think twice before acting.

"No! No one can command our government! Even the top ten consortiums in the United States can only exert influence, and their power is not large enough to control the behavior of the government at will. Therefore, even if it is God, we can't just do it like this Easy compromise! No! Never!" Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld roared angrily.

"Calm down, Donald, calm down!" Bush pressed the flushed Secretary of Defense, "We will not compromise on this, and even if we do compromise, we must give us a condition that is in the national interest!" The meeting set a major tone.

"The ability group is useless. Aircraft carriers, missiles, nuclear weapons, and even biological and chemical weapons are useless to God, hehe, I believe they have no effect. Then why should we let God agree to the interests of our country? You know, according to According to the news from the Holy See, God can only speak Chinese, not ancient Hebrew. It is believed that God has been in China for a long time, and it may be more biased towards China..." Vice President Cheney was a little worried Said.

Hearing this, everyone present fell into silence.

"I think we have all fallen into a misunderstanding." CIA Director George Tenet said after thinking for a while, "From the very beginning, we have put ourselves on the opposite side of the great God. You know, compared to China or the Middle East For these countries, we are faithful believers of God!" Hearing this, Bush's eyes lit up, yes, we are the Lord's believers, and heretics will eventually accept a merciless judgment!
This kind of meeting does not only happen in the United States. Sooner or later, all countries in the world have received the gods of the major religions to meet with the clergy of the religions. Personal letters or notes from religious leaders, hoping that countries around the world will start consultations on a series of issues such as peace and humanitarianism.Of course, because of the apparition of God or Allah, the number of believers has surged again, and the talk about the end of the world has been put aside, but the question of who is the only true God in the world has been heated up. The leaders of the major religions are trying their best to control it, and I am afraid that armed bloody conflicts are about to break out.Even so, many people were attacked, and there were no casualties. You must know that religious beliefs have always been an important reason for conflicts in history.If things are not resolved, I'm afraid World War III will break out for religious reasons!
At this moment, I haven't realized the seriousness of the problem. In fact, I shouldn't have shown up at that time. Maybe this matter can be gradually calmed down under the suppression of the governments of various countries, but now, things are becoming more and more complicated... "What exactly do you want?" Zhao Guoxian, who just came back from a meeting in Zhongnanhai, sat in the office and looked at a photo of me, rubbed his temples with both hands and sighed helplessly.
