Chapter 187 Undercurrents in Tokyo

"Prime Minister, that SHIELD director is going too far. How dare he speak to us like that?"

In the meeting room, an official from the island government could not help but complain to the prime minister in a low voice. His face was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he was obviously very annoyed by Xia Ling's arrogant attitude.

The Prime Minister waved his hand gently, signaling him to be quiet.

He understood Xia Ling's strength and background, and also understood that at this critical moment, they needed to work closely with S.H.I.E.L.D. to jointly deal with the monster crisis.

"Don't say anything." The Prime Minister whispered, "We need their help now. This crisis is beyond our ability to handle right now."

"Then can we accept being exploited by them all the time?"

The Prime Minister's eyes became deep and firm. He slowly looked around at everyone in the conference room, as if looking for resonance and understanding.

"No, of course we can't always be in a passive position. But we must judge the situation and know when to be patient and when to fight back."

“Xia Ling and his SHIELD may act tough, but they do have the power and technology that we currently lack.

At a time when monsters are rampant and social order is in turmoil, their presence is the key to stabilizing the situation and protecting our citizens. We cannot ignore the longer-term interests and national security because of a momentary dispute."

At this point, the Prime Minister paused, his eyes fell more sharply on the official who had just complained, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Remember, the interests of the country are above all else. What we need is wisdom, how to preserve our strength in this storm, while looking for opportunities to strengthen ourselves and ultimately win the right to equal dialogue.

One day, we will let them know that we are the greatest nation in the world, and they are just a bunch of upstarts!"

"Prime Minister, your insights are profound and inspiring." A younger official stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination. "We really can't lose confidence because of temporary difficulties. We should regard this crisis as an opportunity, a time for our island nation to rise and let those Americans know how powerful we are!"

The Prime Minister nodded with satisfaction, finally calming down these idiots.

Fight against those Americans? Come on, he's not crazy enough for that.

The Son of God appeared in America, and who knows, their almighty Lord may also show up.

And what does their island nation have? Three noble sons?

Then why are they so afraid to even fart when monsters are rampant now?
In such a world, I will naturally listen to whoever can keep his wealth and status.

Xia Ling stood in the command center of the garrison base, frowning slightly, with doubts rising in his heart. He looked around and saw that the American soldiers stationed in the island country were all standing straight, their eyes revealing absolute obedience to him.

"Your Excellency, is there any order that we need to execute immediately? The commander-in-chief has already informed us, and we will obey you in everything."

A lieutenant general stepped forward, his tone respectful and firm, as if every order from Xia Ling would be the compass for their actions.

After arriving at the garrison base, the soldiers were surprisingly obedient to their orders.

Xia Ling nodded, but the doubts in his heart were not completely dissipated. "But, even so, you should have your own judgment and principles. Why do you obey my orders so unconditionally?"

The lieutenant general took a deep breath, as if he was organizing his thoughts. "Your Excellency, it is our duty as a soldier to obey orders. But more importantly, we know that in this crisis, unity and cooperation are the key to defeating the monsters. And you and S.H.I.E.L.D. are the allies we need.

We are willing to follow your command because we believe that you and SHIELD have the ability to lead us to victory."

Xia Ling laughed secretly in his heart, these reasons must not be their true thoughts.

As for the president's orders, these overseas troops are far away from the emperor and how much they listen depends entirely on their own mood.

After all, a government that changes every four years has very little authority in the hearts of the soldiers, especially when it is not based in the mainland.

What's more, Tony is a president who was appointed in a time of crisis. It is questionable how much weight his orders have in the hearts of these soldiers.

Xia Ling's eyes penetrated the lieutenant general's words sharply. He had a more profound guess in his mind. He smiled slightly and decided to directly inquire about this possible hidden key.

"Lieutenant General, your answer is very sincere, but I think there may be deeper reasons behind it. In this turbulent era, I want to know if there are other factors that make you obey my orders so firmly?"

Hearing this, the lieutenant general's face flashed with surprise, as if he didn't expect Xia Ling to ask this question so directly. He hesitated for a moment, but soon, his eyes became firm, as if he had made up his mind.

"Your Excellency, you are indeed perceptive. Indeed, in addition to obedience to orders and the desire for victory, there is a more important reason, that is - faith."

The lieutenant general's voice was deep and powerful. He continued slowly, "In this era where demons and monsters are rampant, people are filled with fear and anxiety. But you, as the King of Desolation appointed by the Holy Son, are the light of hope in our hearts. We believe that under your leadership, we can defeat these evil forces and protect our homes and loved ones."

"The King of Desolation appointed by the Holy Son himself?" Xia Ling repeated the title in surprise, but he already understood most of it in his heart. It turned out that his actions in America had quietly established such a lofty status in the hearts of the soldiers.

The lieutenant general nodded, his eyes gleaming with piety. "Yes, Your Excellency. When the Son of God appeared, he personally gave you the title of King of the Wilderness and predicted that you would play a key role in this crisis.

We firmly believe that obeying the will of a divine agent will not only help us win this battle, but also qualify us to go to heaven after death."

Xia Ling muttered to himself that his show in New York actually affected the isolated overseas garrison, which was something he had not expected.

But, when did he let the Son of God predict it? These big shots are too imaginative.

"Lieutenant General, I thank you for your trust and support. Please rest assured that I will do my best to lead everyone to deal with this crisis together. However, you have to tell me what happened in Tokyo."

The lieutenant general took a deep breath and began to tell Xia Ling in detail about the current serious situation in Tokyo and the entire island country.

“Your Excellency, since the frequent appearance of monsters, Tokyo, as the heart of the island nation, has been the first to suffer a severe impact.

At first, there were only sporadic small-scale attacks, but as time went on, the number and strength of the monsters continued to increase, and now it has evolved into a large-scale conflict. Especially at night, it can almost be said that a hundred demons are parading at night, just like the Heian period described in their culture, but without the onmyoji. "

He pointed to the map hanging on the wall, which was covered with red dots marking the areas where monsters were active. Almost all of Tokyo was covered by these dots. "You can see that every corner of Tokyo is threatened. Although we have tried our best to organize defense, the monsters are more powerful than we can imagine. Our conventional weapons have little effect on them."

Xia Ling nodded and stared at the map seriously.

"So, what measures have you taken to deal with this crisis?" Xia Ling asked.

The lieutenant general sighed and shook his head. "We have tried many methods, including the use of chemical weapons and biological weapons, but none of them have achieved significant results.

The monsters seem to have a natural resistance to these weapons, and their numbers are increasing.”

The lieutenant general frowned and continued, “After conventional weapons failed, we also considered some unconventional means.

For example, we tried to cooperate with some ancient families who claimed to have the ability to seal monsters, but unfortunately, these ancient sealing techniques are also much less effective against modern monsters. Many sealers were injured by monsters or even lost their lives when trying to seal powerful monsters. "

Upon hearing this, Xia Ling immediately understood what was going on. The autonomous "AI" probably taught some small spells to some people.

Then this group of people lied that it was inherited from their ancestors. As for whether anyone exposed them, of course no one did.

One reason is that our ancestors did run these deceptive businesses.

Secondly, since the situation has come to this, they have to quickly unite all the forces that can be united, and naturally no one will be stupid enough to expose them.

"Lieutenant General, do you know more about these ancient families and sealing techniques?"

Xia Ling asked.

The lieutenant general nodded and continued, "We do have some information. These families are usually hidden in remote areas, and they have passed down some secrets of dealing with monsters from generation to generation. Although these secrets may not be completely reliable, they can indeed play a certain role in some cases.

We have tried to establish contact with these families, but they are very cautious and unwilling to reveal their secrets easily. However, considering the severity of the current situation, we intend to try to cooperate with them again to fight against monsters together. "

After hearing this, Xia Ling had an idea in mind.

"We also have our own superpowered troops here, such as these SHIELD agents, who are all priests, and Mr. Matt next to me, who is a master of Buddhism, quite remarkable."

There was a hint of pride in Xia Ling's words as he pointed to a man beside him with a calm face and deep eyes.

Matt nodded slightly, emitting a calm but not to be ignored power.

“Master Matt is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also has unique insights into everything in the world. His presence itself is a force that calms people’s hearts.

As for our priest agents, they not only have extraordinary combat capabilities, but can also provide guidance and comfort to people on a spiritual level." Xia Ling introduced.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the lieutenant general's eyes.

"I see, Your Excellency the Special Envoy, your team is truly full of hidden talents. With the addition of these superpowers, our chances of winning against the monsters will undoubtedly increase a bit."

Xia Ling nodded, his eyes revealing determination.

“Yes, we must make full use of all available resources, whether it is technology, military force or spiritual strength.

Now I need you to cooperate with my agents to spread the faith of the Son of God to the entire army. I hope there will be a few priests among you."

Xia Ling's words echoed in the conference room with unquestionable decisiveness.

"Lieutenant General, as a senior general in the army, your attitude will directly affect the morale of the entire army. I hope you can become a pioneer in spreading faith, lead the soldiers to accept the baptism of the Son of God, and become an important force in our joint fight against monsters."

Xia Ling's eyes were fixed on the lieutenant general's face, and his tone was full of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant general's expression became solemn and dignified.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy, I will do my best to spread the faith of the Son of God to every corner of the army. I believe that under the protection of the Son of God, we will be able to defeat these evil monsters and protect our homeland."

Xia Ling nodded with satisfaction. He believed in the lieutenant general's promise. Then he turned to look at Matt beside him.

"Matt, as a master of Buddhism, you have unique insights into the grasp of human hearts and spiritual guidance. I hope you can assist our priest agents and provide spiritual support and comfort to the troops."

Matt nodded. In order to uphold justice, these were all necessary. Even if Xia Ling didn't say it, he would have taken the initiative to bring it up.

"Commander, please rest assured. Buddhism emphasizes compassion and saving all living beings. I will do my best to provide spiritual protection and guidance for everyone in the army."

Matt's words were gentle yet firm, like the warm sunshine in spring, bringing endless hope and comfort to people.

He continued, "In this battle against the monsters, we not only need powerful military force, but also firm faith and unyielding will. I will work closely with the priest agents to help the soldiers dispel the fear in their hearts and strengthen their courage and determination through the wisdom of Buddhism."

That is to say, your stick skills, the power of such Buddhist teachings is indeed enormous.

Xia Ling cast his gaze towards the lieutenant general, his tone was somewhat serious and firm: "Lieutenant General, I need you to take action immediately and organize a team consisting of priests, Master Matt's disciples and our SHIELD agents to go deep into the army, spread the faith of the Son of God, and provide spiritual support and comfort to the soldiers. At the same time, you must also strengthen the army's defense and training to ensure that we can win the battle against the monsters."

"I will definitely be able to do it and will not let you down, Your Majesty!"
