Chapter 138: A Cruise Ship Attracting the World's Attention

A cruise ship sailing to China's territorial waters touches the hearts of countless people and promotes the drastic changes in this international situation.

The shipping lanes traveled by cruise ships have always been the busiest trade routes in the world, but at this time, the sea around the cruise ship is not visible to a single fishing boat.

The International Joint Command on Special Matters and Emergencies, initiated by the five permanent members, has enormous authority and resources.

Ships are prohibited from passing for a period of time, and a specific sea area for a period of time has become an absolute shielding range.

Outside of this range, warships and special vessels of various countries are scattered into a huge fan, and the sea area where they are located is brightly lit day and night.

Telecommunications across continents and oceans, frequent sending and receiving, and more than a dozen specialized communications and military satellites are constantly in low-earth orbit overhead.

On the day of the cruise ship's departure, on a massive nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Lewis Wood, a special adviser to the Pentagon and a think tank from the RAND Corporation, walked into a conference room.

Senior officers of the Combined Fleet, heads of the CIA's Asia Division, representatives of the ISME (International Joint Command for Special Matters and Emergencies), ambassadors of major Asian powers, and so on, are already in a state of economic precariousness.

Around these people, more than a dozen large screens observed the latest developments of the cruise ship from different angles.

On one of the screens, there was only one conference room, which was located in a high-level base on the continental United States.

Like the conference room on the aircraft carrier, big people are walking into the screen one after another.

Wood found his place and sat quietly.

The lights dimmed until both meeting rooms connected via satellite were ready for a meaningful video conference to begin.

Wood found a comfortable angle to stretch his tired body, rubbed his eyebrows, took the medicine bottle from his pocket, and took it with a glass of water.

Skip the unnutritious explanations, accusations, and questioning stages, and after half an hour, he will be on the field.

The request from the Pentagon is to correctly assess the visitor and what position the United States should take in what follows.

Wood began to speak, again skipping the lengthy note for the old councillors: "...... To sum up, I think that this extraterrestrial visitor can already confirm that he is from a plane and plane, or universe, similar to the earth. Unfortunately, he identified with the Eastern civilization, to be precise, the ancient Chinese civilization. This is a mediocre question, his family, his surname, and the culture he identifies!"

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, the 8th-5th century B.C., before the famous Qin Shi Huang unified China, Zhou Tianzi divided the vassal states, and the family of this 'Mi Dao Chang' was one of the feudal princes (Wood was wrong, the state of Chu was not a feudal prince of the Zhou Dynasty. )。 ”

From this, we can be sure that the timeline of the world from which the other party came should be determined to be the Middle Ages. If this world has a similar interpretation and development to the earth, the representative of Western civilization in that period was the ancient Greek civilization. ”

But judging from the limited number of encounters, the visitor was contemptuous, even displeased, of the Western face, and even any foreign face. ”

……

"There is nothing we can do, we can't force him, we can't force him, in order to make progress, we can only let the Chinese come to the forefront." This progress was made precisely because of the efforts of the Chinese, and cruise ships could only go to China, not the United States!"

"Doctor, I have a question!"

The questioner was a prominent figure active in Congress and a devout believer in God.

"Please!"

"I have never been able to understand that 'Xiuxian' (out-of-tune Chinese), as far as I know, Taoism is not a religion?"

Wood was a little helpless, but he had to answer this low-level question, "Taoism is indeed a religion, but Tao is also a kind of thought and philosophy, and Tao is also a method and attitude of dealing with the world! Of course, for some people, Tao is also a kind of practice. ”

"I ...... I don't understand!"

Wood's face became serious, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my first suggestion!"

"Today, when supernatural factors are invading and setting off great changes, we must learn the history and culture of the Chinese, not the kind of learning that we used to do, but to go deep into it and truly understand and comprehend it." Otherwise, it will not be possible to make an accurate judgment. ”

"What about your second suggestion?"

"It takes time to learn and understand, but the 'Chief Mi' can't live without the voice of the United States. Therefore, I suggest that the right Chinese Americans, preferably those who have some involvement in Taoism, should be selected to represent the interests of the United States. ”

"How much interest do you think there is behind this 'Dao Chief'?"

"The benefits are incomparably great, and it can be said that the key is the key!" Wood took a sip of water, "As we all know, he was exiled by the Demon King and the gods, and he is the only one who has really come into contact with the Demon King and the gods, note: not in the form of summoning." So he knows the crux of everything, our world, his world. ”

"He is also a cultivator, and he has a systematic approach to the evolution of ordinary people step by step through practice. I can't estimate the value of what he says, but the information we have now is enough for us to do everything we can to get him, or destroy him!"

"How feasible do you think Document One Hundred and Six is?"

Wood recalled the specifics of Document One Hundred and Six and shook his head with a wry smile, "Finding and mastering the passage through another world can only be a hypothesis and a vision. Ladies and gentlemen, if one day, we have mastered this passage, can you really make up your mind to go to a world where there are so many of them? No, no, it would be a disaster, and the individual force would be too strong for us to stand a chance. ”

Wood's speech lasted an hour.

By the time he sat down tiredly, the meeting did not draw any valuable conclusions and results.

CIA intelligence officers began to report on the spread of the Seeds of Light throughout Asia, as well as the spread of the Dark Evil Summons that had gone underground.

Wood thought as he fell asleep.

What a tacit understanding between the gods and the demon king!

The Lightbringers need seeds, and this is undoubtedly a constraint.

Although the darkness does not need seeds, as long as the Book of Demons (the Book of Summoners of the Dark Camp) can be sacrificed, and the Servants of Darkness also have the ability to infect others and create minions.

The Lightbringers can live in the sun, and they are attracted and supported by the forces of various countries, which is undoubtedly their help.

The scum of darkness can only live in the shadows, spurned and suppressed by the whole world, and gradually become a nightmare for ordinary people, but it attracts countless moths to the fire of careerists to chase.

In this way, the balance is formed, and the officials of various countries can only join the camp of light, and their private interests cannot be coordinated, so they can only try their best to win over the messengers of light.

This is a conspiracy, but how to break it, how to bring both under absolute control, and how to grab the greatest benefits for the United States?

Wood meditated until he fell asleep.

Two days later, the cruise ship, which had attracted the attention of the whole world, began to slowly approach a port.
