Doctor, I'm really strong!

Compared to Lateran's belief system, the community's system is clearly more credible.

After all, in human perception, God is omniscient and omnipotent. If that's the case, why doesn't He create a perfect world? Stop talking about testing humanity. If He is omniscient and omnipotent, then there must be efficient methods to obtain many outstanding talents without testing humanity. If He can't do that, then it's a paradox, and you're all fake.

In liberation theology, God is the ultimate embodiment of world order, embodying benevolence without compassion. The only covenant between humanity and God is to make the world a better place. Amen.

Compared to the flawed Bible, liberation theology is clearly more credible.

Most importantly, liberation theology has another target to refer to—the Terran People's Community.

What, you think the people there don't believe in God?

My friend, liberation theology says that God doesn't care whether you believe or not, only what you create. Only those who strive for a bright future for mankind are true believers in the covenant between God and humanity.

A perfect logical closed loop.

This core idea imbues Lateran's national anthem with a sense of sanctity, while the community's national anthem is full of struggle.

With the latter's rock version being widely circulated, the locals of Laterano may not be able to remember their national anthem in its entirety, but they can definitely sing the rock version of the Internationale.

So, when the Lateran national anthem was played, everyone just listened, but when the Community International anthem was played, many people sang along.

If it were any other country's leader, they would be green with envy by now, but the Pope doesn't seem to care at all and continues to smile.

This KFC grandpa really doesn't care about such things. After all, liberation theology and the Lateran Bible are ultimately just a continuation of faith. As long as faith exists, Lateran will not perish; it is a kind of evolution.

This shows that the Lateran popes are more progressive than the Vatican popes.

Of course, the other countries' representatives didn't look too happy. If the community could have this level of influence in Laterano, then they could do something similar in other countries.

God knows what's become of my country's internal affairs; it seems I'll have to deal with this properly when I get back.

Then came the greetings between the representatives of various countries, the marked diplomatic procedures. Liu Jiuli saw the Emperor of Yan, the President of Colombia, the Iron Duke of Victoria, and...

Therese, yes, the nominal Sarkaz regent was also present.

However, he did not do it in Victoria's name, but rather under the banner of Kazdel.

This clearly angered the Sarkaz on the Community side. They didn't recognize Theresis as regent; they only recognized Liu Jiuli, and at most Amiya, who was a bonus. But who did Theresis think he was to represent Kazdel? Kazdel was now an inseparable part of the Community, did he even know that?

When Liu Jiuli and Therese faced each other, everyone around them tensed up.

But after only a few seconds of eye contact, the two smiled and shook each other's outstretched right hands.

It was definitely the two of them reaching out at the same time, a scene that surprised everyone.

Therese was not angry that Kazdel had already found another, and Liu Jiuli did not think Therese's behavior was a provocation. On the contrary, the two seemed to approve of each other.

How should I put it? I'd say it was like meeting an old friend at first sight.

However, what Theresis pursues is not what Liu Jiuli pursues, but what Liu Jiuli pursues can certainly encompass what Theresis pursues.

On one hand, there is the hope that the Sarkaz can obtain equal and fair status and rights; on the other hand, there is the desire to liberate all of humanity.

They are indeed compatible, so there is actually no fundamental conflict between the two, as long as...

Therese was willing to make some concessions.

"This is our first meeting. I am honored, Chairman Liu Jiuli."

“Hello, Regent Theresis, I think we have a lot in common.”

This scene resolved all the hidden conflicts, and the two were able to understand each other. Naturally, there was no reason for the other Sarkaz to fight to the death, at least not when Liu Jiuli and Theresis were present.

"Pity."

Some people are naturally very disappointed; they were hoping the two would fight, ideally resulting in a bloodbath, but that's not the case, which is not good news.

If Theresis were to be incorporated into the community, all the Sarkaz would be integrated into one country, which would be terrifying.

But do you have a way to stop it now?

It took the entire continent of Terra centuries to dismantle the demon race of Kazdel, and only by taking advantage of Kazdel's internal and external troubles did they finally achieve victory. But now, that opportunity seems to be still a long way off.

Before the formal meeting begins, the leaders of various countries meet first. As the leader of a powerful country, Liu Jiuli is quite busy. All countries have sent their applications, and his popularity is comparable to that of train tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Yan hopes to further cooperate with the community on food issues.

Syracuse hopes to negotiate tariffs with the Community in the area of ​​commerce and trade.

Rembitt hopes the community will buy more of its own minerals.

The Ursus Empire expressed its gratitude under the guise of receiving the gift "Aurora," but in reality, it was also an attempt to strengthen cooperation.

Even Colombia, which has always been very hostile to the Community, has taken the initiative to communicate with the Community, hoping to deepen cooperation on the economic level, especially in the manufacturing sector.

At this time, Colombia was more like the United States before World War II, with a strong preference for manufacturing and a relatively lagging financial industry. After all, the United States only truly began to unleash its potential after its complete victory in the Cold War, and a powerful enemy was an important factor in ensuring that it did not become arrogant.

Just as countries were exchanging ideas, the community made another big move.

Three Kunpeng transport planes landed in Laterano, and then the three planes began to assemble and transform, eventually forming three unique community exhibition halls, which was equivalent to the community holding a World Expo in Laterano.

At this time, world leaders were all in this city, but only the community took the initiative to showcase itself, so the appeal of this advertisement was self-evident.

From household appliances to fruits and snacks, and even weapons and equipment, the Community's exhibition halls had everything on display, quickly attracting the attention of all the surrounding residents. They soon surrounded the halls, and many local Sakorta and Liboli from Lateran volunteered to help, because helping out meant they could share in the delicious snacks from the Community.

People who have lived in a community for a long time may develop a misconception that a moderately prosperous life is a basic standard of living.

In reality, across the entire continent of Terra, such a lifestyle is only enjoyed by the middle and upper classes, especially since things like sugar, honey, and fresh fruits and vegetables are extremely rare luxuries.

The pastries, with plenty of added sugar, quickly became a hit in Laterano, with countless locals gathering at the Community Pavilion just to taste the delicious treats from a foreign land.

In fact, the simplest way to make desserts delicious is to use exquisite ingredients. Sufficient eggs, the right amount of flour, cream, and sugar can instantly transform a cake into something that others can't afford.

For example, the most common birthday cake in the community would be a VIP item if placed at an exhibition.

Compared to this, the local desserts in Lateran seem utterly bland and tasteless.

"How did they manage to get this level of sweetness?!"

"How much sugar did they put in? But it's so delicious, I want more!"

"My God, we can't compete, we simply can't compete. If our store put in this much sugar, we would definitely go bankrupt."

"Really? You're not kidding me? Sugar from the Community is so cheap!"

The simplicity of the desserts is not only due to the excellent production method, but also to the industrial society's superior ability to outmaneuver the handicraft industry. A country where sugar is as expensive as a luxury item cannot imagine the sugar production capacity of an advanced industrial nation.

The abundance of ingredients has also greatly unleashed people's creativity. What many modern people don't know is that more than 90% of everyday dishes actually appeared gradually after the industrial age, and some may even be no more than 50 years old, or even the same age as you. It's just that we've been eating them since we were young, so we take them for granted.

How can the productivity of the agricultural era be compared with that of the industrial era? Don't bring up ancient cuisines; those were luxuries for the wealthy. The real cuisines for ordinary people were always coarse grains and wild vegetables, and perhaps even grass roots, tree bark, and human flesh.

Besides these delicious foods, the community's "Modern Family" pavilion also attracted many visitors.

In a fully intelligent room, the owner only needs to speak, and daily tasks such as sweeping, mopping, cooking, and laundry can be handled by robots. Of course, it is still somewhat difficult to get robots to cook, but specialized food 3D printers are already becoming more common. By consuming different ingredient boxes, different dishes can be printed, and the taste is not bad. However, it can only produce eighteen kinds of dishes at present, and the texture is similar to creamy paste, but it is still a huge improvement.

The home is filled with a sci-fi style, where you can enjoy all kinds of high-quality amenities. And this is not an enjoyment reserved for the upper class, but an enjoyment that everyone can experience. You should know that the community's various affordable housing projects were designed with future renovations in mind from the very beginning, in order to be compatible with the arrival of the information age.

This will increase construction costs, but it can reduce the cost of redundant construction and lay the groundwork for the future, so overall it is still worthwhile.

With the opening of the Community Exhibition Hall, the entire Lateran city began to celebrate a special "Community Day".

Section 315: Booth Debate

(Still in quarantine, feeling depressed (＃￣～￣＃))

Advanced technology and power are always attractive, especially in challenging environments.

Terra needs power, and technology is power; practical technology is the most direct representation of power.

If a technology has been widely adopted by civilians, it means that it has already been tested in the military. The absence of it in the military does not mean that there is no relevant technological reserve.

Industrialization has leveled off production costs, but this takes time. If it is industrialized industrial clusters of handicrafts, then this process will be much longer. If it takes fifty years for modern industry to popularize a cutting-edge technology, then it will take at least a century, or even longer, for handicraft industrial clusters.

Just look at the design of mobile cities. Before the community optimized and improved them, the design blueprints of these behemoths had not changed much for at least thousands of years. The core technical indicators cannot be said to be unchanged, but they can be said to be completely unchanged. The construction cycle of mobile cities is so long that "it was already there when you were born, and it was still under construction when you left."

The fact that the community was able to rapidly produce so many mobile cities and fortresses is largely due to its new technologies, while the terrifying output of its industrialized forces is the foundation supporting all of this.

On the battlefield, 100,000 artillery pieces have more authority than 100 muskets.

The neighboring countries of the community have long since begun internal reforms similar to those of the community under its deterrent effect; in biology, this is called convergent evolution.

When the basic environments are similar, there are only a few ways to solve problems. The environment will only leave behind the strong who are suited to survive, while the weak who are suited to survive will become food for the strong.

Colombia is no exception, except that the country is now bound by a certain political environment, and its social system and ideology are influenced by, or even persecuted by, domestic liberals.

Liberals are essentially McCarthyism in Colombia, vicious dogs pushed out by American capitalists to maintain their rule, while the dogs' owners are the real masterminds behind everything.

"This is incredible."

"Has the community's technological level reached such a terrifying level?"

"It's just something for the wealthy to enjoy. What's the point of bringing such a thing out?"

"You guessed wrong. This is the civilian smart home that the community is popularizing."

"This is impossible!"

Some were skeptical, some were amazed, some were moved, and some were uneasy. In any case, the community's exhibition was open to everyone, and representatives from various countries could participate. What they thought, Liu Jiuli didn't care. My excellence is none of your business.

Colombian President Ofar stood silently in front of the smart home exhibition booth, as did other Colombian government officials around him. Their expressions were mostly thoughtful and solemn, as they pondered the impact these technologies would have on them.

In addition, there was a group of Colombians writing furiously. They were representatives from the business world, and their thinking was relatively simple: making money was nothing to be ashamed of.

Just then, Liu Jiuli, along with three members of the Linghe delegation, happened to pass by and saw the Colombian delegation.

"President Ofar, hello, where are you all?"

Upon seeing Liu Jiuli, President Ofar immediately returned to normal, saying with a professional smile, "I am simply amazed by the achievements of the community, which have reached the standard of ordinary people in Colombia."

By this time, reporters had already gathered around, and their keen sense of smell immediately detected the hostility in Aufar's words.

Liu Jiuli asked with a smile, "How many ordinary people like these are there in Colombia?"

Now it was Ophar's turn to be in a dilemma.

Colombia's total population is close to 100 million, and if you include undocumented immigrants, it is definitely over 100 million. But there is an open secret: only those who have obtained a Colombian green card are considered Colombian citizens. But there is also a semi-open secret: only those who have obtained a green card and pay taxes to the government are considered true Colombians.

A poor person who can't afford money is just a waste of resources.

After this valuation process, Colombian citizens number only 50 million, leaving just over 10 million Colombians.

Shocking! Nine out of ten people in Colombia have been deincorporated, a secret unknown to ninety-nine percent of the population.

Tomorrow's headline news will be out.

To tell the truth would be to invite humiliation, but to lie would be to trap oneself. But politicians can be shameless for their own benefit. So O'Farr replied seriously, "Everyone who lives in Colombia is Colombian."
