Reborn in 2010, the AI ​​in my mind is too powerful.

The aurora borealis is certainly not a savage; it did consult with the Mexican government to some extent before entering Mexico.

However, the central government's attitude was not friendly. They issued a public statement to defend sovereignty and demanded a meeting with Chen Yiran, saying that commercial matters should be resolved commercially, and that occupying territory without cause was definitely different.

This is a bit like refusing to be polite. Everyone knows how pathetic the Mexican government is. Aurora cannot entrust the security of the Black Velvet base to the Mexicans.

Aurora chose to bypass the central government and directly begin negotiations with the Sonora state government.

The state government didn't really want Aurora to come in; it was uncertain whether they would still have power in the future. But they didn't really have the right to refuse, since their base in the US was right next to Aurora's, and they really couldn't afford to lose.

Just as the two sides began to discuss in detail the scope of the Black Velvet Base.

A force emerged to stir things up, and they quickly gained the support of the residents.

From the state capital Hermosillo, to the border crossing of Nogales, all the way to the northernmost point of the state, and directly opposite Yuma, San Luis Rio Colorado.

Countless Mexicans took to the streets, holding large banners demanding a boycott of the aurora borealis.

The friendship that helped Mexicans solve their drug trafficking problem has been portrayed as the aurora borealis's massacre of Mexicans.

The entity that can wield such influence in Mexico is certainly not the Mexican government, nor is it the recently resurgent drug traffickers.

The troublemakers came from an uncrowned king in Mexico: the Catholic Church.

Mexico is the most devout country in the world, with an astonishing 80% Catholic population, totaling 9000 million people. It is the second largest Catholic country in the world, after Brazil.

Ironically, the United States ranks fourth, and most of the believers in the United States, as anyone who knows, are not exactly devout.

However, the top three countries—Brazil, Mexico, and the Philippines—are all exceptionally poor but exceptionally devout, with the poor seemingly only able to pin their hopes on God for salvation.

Or perhaps they have given up hope for this life and instead hope to find liberation after death and go to heaven.

Mexico has a long history of religion. According to legend, on December 12, 1531, Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego, a converting Indian, on the Tepejac mountain, spoke to him in Nahuatl, and left a holy image on his cloak.

This image of the Virgin Mary has brown skin and Native American features. Most Virgin Marys in Catholic churches around the world have Caucasian features, but this one in Mexico looks like a native.

During the colonial period, the governors sent by Spain would go up the mountain to worship when they took office and to bid farewell when they left office, and they worshipped this Virgin Mary.

In 1754, the Pope declared her the patron goddess of New Spain, officially making her the so-called Our Lady. In 1945, Pius XII further crowned her Queen of Mexico and Queen of the Americas.

In 1810, Father Hidalgo, known as the Washington of Mexico, launched the War of Independence. His banner was an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and his first battle cry was Our Lady of Guadalupe!

Mexico's first president even changed his name to Guadalupe Victoria to show his devotion to the Virgin Mary.

In this context, Catholicism in Mexico has always maintained a detached position.

But it is precisely this detachment that has kept the government very vigilant.

In newly independent Mexico, the Church had become almost a state within a state, monopolizing ownership of about half of the country's land. Clergy members who committed crimes under civil or criminal law were not tried in ordinary courts, but rather by religious courts.

Education, hospitals, and charitable organizations are all under the church's control; even birth, marriage, and death registrations are in the church's hands.

The church also collects tithes and various church taxes, and even charges for baptisms, weddings, and funerals.

This left the Mexican government with no choice but to rule over whom, leading them to launch numerous direct anti-clerical actions.

The climax was the Cristomar War that began in 1926, when the government actually began to try to implement a series of laws to reclaim rights. After the Papacy refused, a civil war was launched.

Three years later, 90,000 people had died in the battle, and of the 4500 priests in Mexico, only 334 remained.

The Mexican government has regained its power, but the status of Our Lady of Guadalupe is too deeply ingrained in people's minds, and even after the war, Catholicism was not expelled from Mexico.

Now, ninety years later, the Catholic Church has witnessed the weakness of the Mexican government, and they seem to feel that they have another chance. They are ready to make the Catholic Church great again in Mexico.

Moreover, the aurora has always been a target of the Catholic Church's attacks, and now it has actually come to the Church's territory. This is something the Catholic Church cannot tolerate. They want to show the aurora what the power of believers is.

Sonora has 300 million people, 90% of whom are believers. They believe that with the power of the believers, the aurora will not dare to act rashly.

However, they underestimated Aurora's determination. Black Velvet is the core of Aurora's future, and on this issue, Aurora is not afraid to cross some bottom lines.

After a period of preparation, Aurora once again chose June 1st, Children's Day, to launch its operation.

Because individuals are too vulnerable, all the Mexican employees who were selected to work there were left at the border, waiting for the situation to stabilize before entering Mexico.

On that day, 700 vehicles carrying 5,000 robots of various colors departed directly from Yuma, entered through San Luis Rio de Colorado, and advanced nearly 400 kilometers to take over the agricultural town of Kavorca in the southeastern part of the Alta Desert.

The Sonora state government did not dare to resist at all, watching the aurora procession travel away and then constantly communicating with the central government.

The central government was helpless; more than a dozen high-ranking officials passed the buck at the meeting, and no one dared to make a decision.

The Mexican army was not originally built to fight against foreign armies; its main job is actually to combat smuggling and, incidentally, anti-drug operations.

Faced with the aurora, they had no idea what to do.

An army officer said professionally, "Guaimas in Sonora state is a military district with a navy, but it has marines, patrol boats, and helicopters. I checked, and although it doesn't have tanks, it does have armored vehicles. It should be able to put up a fight."

The naval officer standing nearby immediately objected: "They're taking the land route, why should we, the navy, be on the move? Besides, it's 400 kilometers away, that's too far."

"The army's divisions are closer, and besides, the army has more personnel. Shouldn't you be the ones to handle this kind of situation? We're the navy; whenever the aurora borealis comes from the sea, that's our responsibility."

"Come on, those old US Navy ships from World War II, can they fight the Aurora? I heard that the US Navy ships in Hawaii have been corrupted. When they face the Pacific Fleet, how are you going to fight them?"

It's definitely not enough to just send our army; we don't have main battle tanks, so we can't fight.

"Air Force, you're faster, can you deploy some troops? Aurora, do you have air force support? We should have air superiority, right? Give us air superiority, and the army guarantees victory."

The Air Force Commander sighed and explained, "First of all, Aurora's fighter jets have been equipped by the US military! Although it hasn't been officially announced, Chen Yiran posted about it on Twitter! You need to pay attention to intelligence; Chen Yiran and Jasmine's Twitter accounts are the best sources of intelligence right now."

Furthermore, even disregarding the fighter jets produced by Aurora itself, Chen Yiran bought the last six F-14 Tomcats from the United States a few months ago, saying he wanted to modify them.

You should read the news more. Chen Yiran spent a long time complaining on Twitter, saying that deliberately destroying F-14s to prevent Iran from buying spare parts was a waste of resources. He's a supporter of the Tomcat fighter jet, so now they're restarting the production line to build a new AI-powered F-14 Tomcat.

The army commander actually knew all this; he just wanted to shift the blame: "Well, there's nothing we can do. No war can be fought without air superiority. Why don't you try forcing it?"

The Air Force Commander was furious: "Are you even speaking human language?! You don't give us any money when it's time to distribute it normally, but now you want us to go? Our Air Force only had 10 low-end F-5s before!"

Moreover, due to unbearable operating costs and a lack of spare parts, they were all retired in January of this year. Our air force now has no jet fighters whatsoever!

Did you understand? There were no jet fighters!

You could even say that the only aircraft we had capable of fighting were the PC-7 turboprop trainers we bought from Switzerland back then, and even then, only seven of them were still airworthy!

Everyone present fell silent. They all remembered the serious problems that had occurred with the PC-7 trainer aircraft.

They bought it under the guise of a training aircraft, but later used it for ground attack missions against drug traffickers.

Neutral Switzerland took it seriously, ceasing all sales and even cutting off the supply of spare parts, resulting in only a few of the original sixty-odd fighter jets being unable to fly after twenty years.

The meeting began when the aurora entered the Mexican border, and after 5 hours, there was no progress.

Despite their exhaustion from talking, the crowd could only lament that weak nations have no dignity and that backwardness inevitably leads to being bullied.

Ultimately, the only conclusion they could draw was that they had no other options but to seek support from the United Nations.

As for the Catholic Church, which has been communicating with them to resolutely resist, they really don't believe that those charlatans will actually try to stop the steel torrent of aurora.

To their surprise, those charlatans actually started to take action.
