Chapter 189 Why don’t we have God’s protection?
The Prime Minister's face was solemn, and his eyes revealed jealousy and envy that were difficult to conceal.

He turned to look at the foreign minister beside him and whispered, "Look at them. Those American soldiers have gained such amazing combat effectiveness with the power of faith. However, we, as an island country with a long history and culture, seem so powerless in this crisis."

After learning of the final victory of the battle, the prime minister of the island country and a group of senior officials quickly gathered in the conference room of the prime minister's residence.

The TV screen repeatedly played scenes of the Onmyoji, the Self-Defense Forces, and the American soldiers working together to repel the monster army. Every detail deeply shocked everyone present.

To say that they repelled the enemy together is actually an overstatement to the Onmyoji and the Self-Defense Forces. The victory in this battle was entirely due to the efforts of those American soldiers.

These soldiers have only believed in the Son of God for such a short time, yet they already possess such combat effectiveness.

Especially Buddhism, how can Buddhism be so powerful?

Even if Buddhism is really that powerful, don’t they have Buddhism in their island country?

Why don't we see the monks displaying their Buddhist teachings to slay demons and monsters? Instead, they are all cowards, playing dead better than the other.

The Foreign Minister nodded in agreement, but there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Prime Minister, this is really hard to accept. We have always believed that our Onmyoji and the Self-Defense Forces are strong enough to deal with any challenge. However, this battle has shown us the horror of the power of faith."

The Secretary of State for Defence also weighed in, a hint of anxiety in his voice.

"We must face this problem, Prime Minister. If American soldiers can really gain such a strong combat capability through the power of faith, then in the future, we may face more severe challenges. We must find a way to strengthen the power of our own faith."

The Prime Minister was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I understand your concerns, but the power of faith is not so easy to obtain. They have the protection of gods, but we don't."

As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to freeze, and everyone fell into deep thought.

The wind outside the window gently blew the curtains, but it seemed unable to take away the heavy atmosphere in the room.

Suddenly, a cultural minister who rarely spoke broke the silence. His voice was soft but firm, and could not be ignored: "Prime Minister, ministers, since American soldiers can gain powerful strength through faith in the Son of God, then can our soldiers also gain powerful strength?"

He paused, glanced at every official present, and continued, "Our island nation also has a profound religious tradition and cultural heritage. Although the forms of expression are different, the essence of faith is the same.

Perhaps we don’t need to imitate them completely, but should find our own path of faith.”

“For example,” the Minister of Culture continued, with a hint of anticipation in his tone, “we can dig deep into our own myths and legends and draw strength from them. Our island history is full of stories of heroes and gods. These stories are not just legends. They contain inspiring power and are the embodiment of the national spirit.

If we can guide our soldiers to believe in the heroes and gods in these stories, and believe that they are with us, perhaps we can inspire the potential within our soldiers and improve their combat effectiveness.”

The Foreign Minister's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he added: "At the same time, we can also strengthen exchanges with the international religious community and learn how they effectively use the power of faith to inspire people. We don't necessarily have to directly imitate the American belief system, but we can draw inspiration from it, combine it with our national conditions and culture, and create our own way of faith mobilization."

"No, our gods have never responded to us. This method won't work. We must get a response from the gods."

The Prime Minister had a gloomy face. They had prayed to the three noble sons of the island country before, but they had never received a response.

According to the Onmyojis, perhaps the gods of the island nation have fallen silent, which is why there is no response.

Then why, in America, was the son of Yahweh able to respond to the colonists?

The Defense Minister frowned upon hearing this. He understood the Prime Minister's concerns, but he also realized that he could not give up the possibility of exploration.

“Prime Minister, perhaps our previous approach was off track. Whether or not God responds may not simply depend on our prayers, but on how we demonstrate our sincerity and determination, and how we understand and apply this faith.”

“In the history of our island nation, there have been countless heroes who have created miracles with their firm beliefs and unyielding will.

These stories are not just myths, the spiritual power behind them is real. Perhaps what we need to do is to reawaken this spirit and let it shine with new light in modern society.”

The Minister of Culture spoke again, his voice full of vision for the future: “We can try to combine these ancient stories with modern values ​​to create a form of faith mobilization that is both in line with the spirit of the times and deeply touching.

For example, through various media such as movies, animation, and literary works, the stories of these heroes and gods can be widely spread so that they can take root in the hearts of the people. "

"You want to create a new god yourself?"

The Prime Minister's face darkened, instantly bringing the atmosphere in the conference room to a freezing point. All the officials present also looked gloomy, as if they had touched upon some unspeakable taboo.

The three noble sons simply did not respond to their prayers, but that did not mean they were dead.

In this age when God is clearly holy, creating a new God, especially within the territory of the old pantheon, would lead to consequences that are simply unthinkable.

The Minister of Culture realized that he might have gone too far and quickly explained: "Prime Minister, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that we can try new ways to make the public understand and accept our traditional beliefs more deeply, rather than creating new gods."

However, the Prime Minister's face remained gloomy. He slowly stood up, his eyes swept over everyone present, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty: "Our island country has a long history and unique culture, which is our pride, but at the same time, we must also respect our gods and traditions, and cannot challenge or change them easily."

He paused, and his tone became more serious: "In this age of divine prominence, every action may lead to unpredictable consequences. We cannot risk touching those taboos, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

The meeting room fell into a deathly silence, and everyone felt the weight of the Prime Minister's words. They knew that in this special period, any rash action could bring disastrous consequences to the island nation. The Defense Minister broke the silence and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Prime Minister, we understand your concerns. But at the same time, we must also face reality.

The American soldiers gained amazing fighting power through the power of faith, which is a warning to us. We must find a way to enhance our own strength. "

The Prime Minister nodded, and his tone softened a little: "I understand your concerns, but we must act with caution. The power of faith cannot be gained overnight. We need time to find and explore the path that suits us."

"Perhaps, I mean perhaps, we can let some soldiers follow them to accept the Son's faith, and also comprehend the Buddhist teachings?"

The Secretary of Defense tentatively put forward his idea that it is impossible to create a new god, at least not now.

So, is it possible to let part of the army accept existing beliefs?
Anyway, there are people who believe in Yahweh and serve as monks in the island country. Aren’t they living well and not incurring God’s wrath?

The Prime Minister's face fell again and he stared at the Secretary of Defense, his eyes flashing with mixed emotions.

He spoke slowly, his voice full of unquestionable determination: "Minister of Defense, although your proposal seems feasible, it is actually full of risks."

He paused, as if weighing his words, and then continued, “Our island nation has its own unique belief system, and the Three Nobles, as our patron saint, have always been respected and worshipped by us.

If we easily allow soldiers to accept other beliefs, it will not only be a betrayal of our traditional beliefs, but it may also anger the three nobles and bring unpredictable consequences to the island nation. "

The Prime Minister's tone became increasingly serious: "In this age of divine prominence, every choice of faith may attract the attention of God.

We can't risk touching those taboos, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. Just imagine, if San Guizi gets angry because of our rash actions, what kind of disaster will it be? "

Upon hearing this, the Defense Minister showed a helpless look on his face.

He spoke slowly, his voice full of unquestionable determination: "Minister of Defense, although your proposal seems feasible, it is actually full of risks."

Upon hearing this, the Defense Minister showed a helpless look on his face.

The Prime Minister's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of every official, making the atmosphere in the conference room even more depressing. The Minister of Defense nodded helplessly, seeming to acknowledge the Prime Minister's concerns.

However, the Minister of Culture did not give up. He tried again to come up with a new idea: "Prime Minister, perhaps we can think from another angle. We don't have to ask soldiers to completely change their beliefs. Instead, we can let them understand and respect a variety of beliefs and draw useful elements from them to enhance our national spirit."

He glanced at the officials around him and continued, "In this era of globalization, cultural exchanges are becoming increasingly frequent. Our soldiers may encounter enemies or allies from different faith backgrounds on the battlefield. If they know nothing about other beliefs or even hold prejudices against them, this may have a negative impact on our international image and combat effectiveness."

The Prime Minister's brows relaxed slightly when he heard this, and he seemed to be interested in the Minister of Culture's proposal. He nodded and motioned for the Minister of Culture to continue.

Seeing this, the Minister of Culture felt relieved and continued to explain his ideas: "We can set up special courses to let soldiers understand the history, doctrines and cultural background of different beliefs. This will not only broaden their horizons, but also cultivate their tolerance and empathy."

"At the same time, we can also encourage soldiers to find strength in their own beliefs. Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism or the traditional beliefs of our island nation, they all have their own unique practice methods and spiritual power.

We can guide soldiers to tap into the positive elements of these beliefs to strengthen their willpower and combat effectiveness.”

After listening to the Minister of Culture's proposal, the Prime Minister pondered for a moment. Then, he slowly spoke with a hint of approval in his voice: "Your proposal is very interesting, Minister of Culture. We really need to strengthen the religious education of soldiers so that they can better understand and respect different beliefs."

He paused and continued: “However, we must ensure that this education does not cause any religious conflict or belief disputes.

We need to find a balance that can both strengthen the faith of soldiers and maintain social harmony and stability."

The Minister of Defense felt a little relieved when he heard this.

He added: "Prime Minister, perhaps we can work with religious figures to jointly develop a set of faith education programs suitable for the military, which can ensure the accuracy and authority of the education content and avoid causing unnecessary controversy."

The Prime Minister said nothing and his expression did not improve.

The Minister of Culture looked hesitant upon seeing this, wondering if he had said something wrong again.

"Prime Minister, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"No, your plan is very good. You can try it first according to your idea."

The Prime Minister came to his senses and nodded, agreeing with the Minister of Culture's idea. Seeing this, the Minister of Culture finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What a pity, why didn’t Sanguizi have any response, why is there no god’s protection for the island country?
