There was some hesitation in Li Mochen's eyes, but then he nodded. "You're right. No wonder you're the Prime Minister of Iron and Blood."
This sentence was slightly derogatory, but it also contained some self-mockery.
He did not hesitate for long before deciding to listen to Bismarck, even though this meant that most people in America would be classified as "expendable."
However, Li Mochen clearly understood that his ability was limited. With his current strength, he could not completely protect this 187.4 million square kilometers of land.
Without comparison, there would be no harm — this was indeed the best way for him to win over his believers and the hearts of the people.
"Next is to integrate the armies of the gods."
Bismarck continued, "At the same time that you became the king of the gods in this world, you also have a weakness. The God Kingdom that the gods built between the Star Region and the Main Material World. If Odin and Zeus lead the armies to attack, will you save them or not? If you don't, then you will lose the hearts of the people. If you do, then the power that you have now is not enough to fight against the three major god systems in the Outer World. "
Li Mochen could not help but be slightly moved. This was a problem that he had not yet realized. He had used the power of the gods to force Zeus and Odin to retreat, but at the same time, he would also have to bear the responsibility of protecting the gods.
"We still have time, but not much. The Olympus and Aesir systems have just been hit by you, and their main forces are also confronting the God of Light. But sooner or later, they will be able to mobilize their forces to deal with the gods under your protection. Of course, you can also use their temples in the mortal world to threaten them. But what if one day, the threat that you bring to them is so great that they are willing to give up the remaining faith in this world? And Ahura Mazda, the Persian God of Light, he no longer has any faith in the mortal world and no longer has any scruples. "
"Say no more, Your Highness Bismarck —"
Li Mochen smiled slightly bitterly. He had never ignored the threat of the Zoroastrian gods.
If Ahura Mazda had not suddenly left this world more than three thousand years ago, the Saint Truth under the God of Light would not have been able to destroy his faith.
The God of Light of Zoroastrianism (Zoroastrianism) could even be said to be an imitation of the God of Light.
The power he possessed in the Outer Realm was definitely not inferior to that of the Olympians or the Aesir Divine System. He also had two identities of light and darkness. One was the God of Light and the Supreme God who created the world, Ahura Mazda who represented 'good'. The other was the main god of darkness, the source of all evil and darkness, Angra Manuel who represented 'evil'. Under these two's banner were six Angel Kings and Demon Lords. "They" also possessed powers at the level of a Main God and commanded a massive army of unknown military strength.
In addition, it was said that this two-dimensional god ruled over nine worlds in the Outland. His power was even greater than that of the Olympian gods.
However, while the Goddess of Light and Darkness had led an army back to the world of light, she had kept most of her forces in reserve and refrained from interfering with the prime material plane.
But the more Ahura Mazda was like this, the more worried people were about his movements. In fact, the God of Light and the two major divine systems had kept a considerable portion of their forces to guard against him.
Li Mochen did not dare to let his guard down either. He had been paying attention to the movements of the Zoroastrian divine system.
"Your Highness Bismarck, if I hand over the task of organizing the Army of God to you, how much time would you need? To what extent would you be able to integrate them? "
Bismarck fell into deep thought. After a full five minutes, he finally gave an answer. "This is not a simple task. First, we have to make the gods willingly give up their Divine Kingdom warriors. Then we have to put them together and build a logistics system that can support them in a prolonged battle. If you leave this task to me, I will try to do it. I will try my best to build a military force equivalent to that of two Angel Armies within three months. This is already the limit of the gods. Of course, for the time being, you do not have high hopes for their combat power. It will be a motley crew. Currently, only the armies of the Goddess of Magic, Hila, and Thetis are worth looking forward to. "
"My requirements are very low. I just want them to be able to carry out defensive battles."
Li Mochen did not have high hopes for this. How strong could a temporary army that belonged to nearly a hundred gods be?
Unless they were led by a genius general, then they would be subjected to strict military discipline and years of training. Only then would they stand a chance against the God of Light's Angel Army.
As for the quantity, Li Mochen had even lower hopes. The God of Light had dominated the faith of this world for nearly three thousand years, but he had only managed to accumulate seven Angel Armies, one Judgment Army, and one Inspector Army. What more the gods?
Of course, considering the explosive growth of this world's population in the past two hundred years, which was also when the gods had risen, Sui Xiong estimated that the strength of the gods under his command was roughly equivalent to that of three Angel Armies.
"Considering the current strength, we have to first think of a way to be a hard nut to crack."
He might not be able to stop the gods and the God of Light from destroying them, but if they wanted to crush a hard nut like him, they would have to pay the price of breaking a mouthful of teeth.
"Yes, a hard nut strategy. Your Majesty, you have wisdom that ordinary people do not have," Bismarck praised.
Bismarck praised, "Also, as a subject of Your Majesty, you don't have to call me 'Your Highness' or the like."
"Then, Minister Bismarck!"
Li Mochen readily agreed. "I am now prepared to appoint you as the Prime Minister of my God Kingdom. You will have full authority to help me deal with the affairs of the gods. What do you think?"
Sui Xiong thought that since Bismarck had such an attitude, it was obvious that he was willing, or even eager, to join Sui Xiong and become his arm to control the gods.
Li Mochen also needed this person very much, almost to the extent that he "desired" him.
It wasn't that his subordinates didn't have any capable people, but there wasn't a single one like Bismarck who was as capable of governing as Bismarck, who was skilled in political affairs, who was well-versed in politics, who was familiar with the gods, and who had a wide network.
Li Mochen knew that he still had to spend most of his time on personal training. If he did not have the power to truly resist the power of those God Kings, then no matter how strong the power he had now, he would eventually lose in this inevitable war of gods.
Therefore, he needed someone to help him coordinate and unite the gods so that he would not be distracted by miscellaneous matters. And in this regard, Bismarck, who had been known as the "Prime Minister of Iron and Blood" during the mortal era, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
"That would be my honor!"
Bismarck's expression was very calm as he bowed. "Your Majesty Wildenstein is my ideal ruler, and I will do my best for your cause."
Li Mochen could not help but smile. "I only have one request. My two armies cannot be too Teutonic."
This time, among the gods gathered under his command, at least 19 were from the Teutonic Race. And without exception, they were all among the first 40 gods to respond to him.
He guessed that this was most likely due to Bismarck's influence and call. This person had an extremely strong influence among them, and many of the gods who had risen since the 37th century followed his lead.
Of course, Li Mochen would repay them with peaches, but if this Teutonic god was too strong, he would also feel worried.
"Of course!"
Bismarck bowed again. "I know what to do, Your Majesty. If you are too biased, it will not help to maintain the harmony of the gods under your command, will it? But at present, there is one thing that makes me very helpless. Currently, most of the powerful gods under your command are from the Teutonic Race. "
Li Mochen could not help but be speechless. Bismarck was speaking the truth.
He only knew that even among the gods in America who were good at fighting, a considerable number of ancestors originated from the Teutonic Race, such as the "God of Strategy" under his command, Garcia Fellen.
However, he was not too worried about this, because the real core affairs on his side had not been handed over to the prime minister of the Divine Kingdom.
This was because the forces under his command that were truly worth relying on, such as the Storm Force and the Church's armed forces, were currently in the hands of Robert, Michael Wood, and others.
And if Bismarck wanted to come into contact with these, he had to further gain Li Mochen's trust.
…
While Li Mochen and Bismarck were engaged in a "monarch and minister", in the Central Magic Tower in Manhattan, the current chairman of the Magic Tower Committee, the demigod mage Phil Huston, was about to drip water.
At this time, at this long conference table, the five vice chairmen and the executive council members mostly had cold expressions, without any mixed feelings.
"Since there are two vice chairmen and four executive council members who have initiated the motion at the same time, then this time we will use a secret ballot. Please raise your hands! Regarding the replacement of the chairman of the Magic Tower Committee and the termination of Mr. Phil Huston, please make your decision. "
The one who said this was Ms. Edith Bartram, the executive vice chairman of the Magic Tower Committee. Among the people present, she was the only one who maintained a smile. She completely ignored Phil Huston's cold and gloomy gaze, and looked around at all the people present.
At this time, the five chairmen and the vast majority of the directors raised their hands, making the few people present seem particularly out of place in this conference room.
Phil Huston, who already knew that his dismissal was irreversible, stood up angrily: "You are betraying Her Highness the Goddess! The city of Manhattan was established because of Her Highness, you ungrateful bastards. "
However, most of the people present were indifferent. Edith Bartram sneered: "Mr. Huston, you will receive a letter from our lawyer of the Manhattan Magic Tower Committee later. You will have to bear a large part of the responsibility for the losses suffered in the Upper West Side this time. We will hire an authoritative accounting firm to make accurate statistics. So, please prepare your lawyer. In this country, even a demigod mage can't be detached from the law and must bear responsibility for his mistakes. "
Phil Huston's body stiffened slightly, then he tore open the space angrily and left the conference room that made him sick and nauseous.
After this person left, a vice chairman at the long conference table sighed and shook his head: "It was clearly this guy who was wrong first, wasn't it? If the magic tower array can't play a role in the battle of the gods, then what's the point of its existence? "
"At that time, I don't know how many innocent citizens gathered in the Cathedral of Destiny. But in his eyes, they were all expendable. And our Lord of Destiny, even in the case of being besieged by the gods, the first priority is to protect the safety of believers and nearby residents. "
"It's really different. In this regard, His Majesty's actions in Australia are even more admirable. The glory of the gods gathered in the land of destiny swept the world, and within a day, the turbulent Australia had recovered. "
"The times have changed, and the king of the gods of the new era has appeared. The Statue of Liberty is indeed great, but it turns out that she is no match for the Lord of Destiny. But this guy, he still can't see this. "
Another person sneered: "I think it's not that he doesn't know, but at this point, there's only one way to go. Whether it is the Master of Fate or us, none of us will forgive him, right? "
"Enough, I think we can move on to the next topic, about the new chairman of the magic tower committee. Two hours later, I must go to the Cathedral of Destiny in the Upper West Side. Archbishop Louis seems to be going to attend today's mass in person. "
"His injury is already healed? Yesterday, he obviously hurt his vitality. "
"It should be the effect of divine power, right? Really worthy of being in charge of life and death, as well as youth and vitality at the same time — "
At the same time, in the Abraham White House, Nanette Drew walked into the Oval Office in the West Wing of the White House under the respectful gaze of several presidential aides.
The current president, Daniel Weeks, stood at the door to greet her and shook hands with the lady.
However, Ms. Drew didn't give him a good look. After she sat down on the opposite side of the desk, she confronted the president with cold eyes.
"Our board of directors of Xuri Construction is very dissatisfied with your recent actions. About the 22nd fleet, it was you who gave the order, right? "
The president could only smile bitterly: "Yes, but —"
"Don't use those high-sounding words to fool me, Mr. President. Your order made the 22nd fleet abandon the citizens you should protect and leave the battlefield. "
Ms. Drew sneered, "Weren't you the one who accompanied the Australian Prime Minister to Atlanta to ask for help from my Lord? You led us into a trap and then abandoned us. "
"Ms. Drew?" Seeing that the president's face was covered with cold sweat, the chief of staff of the White House could only stand up and try to explain. However, the lady in front of the desk glanced at him with cold eyes: "Shut up!"
The politician, who had been in the political circle for many years, suddenly felt cold all over. His blood was almost frozen, and he couldn't say a word.
Nanette Drew continued to look at the president: "Also, what's the matter with the special State of the Union that you recently approved to the Congress? Are you provoking us? Provoking the Rising Sun Light and Magic Alliance and the Church of Destiny? "
