Chapter 1632: Chapter 525: Believers Penetrating Civilization
"Could it be... we’ve already been infiltrated to this extent..."
A balding, chubby old man sighed, having also discovered the identities of those sending the messages.
"From the surface identity, there’s no apparent connection. Some are our Federation employees, some are corporate rulers, while some are just ordinary students, or even a gang member...
Is there any similarity among them from other investigations?"
The old man scanned everyone’s faces and finally, like everyone else, his gaze stopped at the Minister of War, who managed military and intelligence affairs.
"I do have some intelligence."
The Minister of War, seen as a beacon of hope by everyone, could only bring out his unconfirmed intelligence.
"It was found during our internal review that there were people among our Federation employees, even within the military, exhibiting unusual behaviors.
We initially thought they were spies and specifically tracked them.
Since we only recently noticed it, we haven’t obtained concrete evidence yet; we can only confirm they seem to frequently gather, and participate in a strange church.
Our investigators couldn’t infiltrate, but through various means, we’ve confirmed that this church appears to worship life-related matters.
And their names are on the list we just mentioned."
"It’s indeed an organization causing trouble! A church, again those God believers!
Ha, those insect swarms also stem from those churches, it must be them!"
Another minister angrily slapped the table but then suddenly hesitated.
"But... what are they really after?
Not to mention why they would target our not-so-powerful civilization.
These churches are currently under attack by the Three Great Civilizations and are waging war in the New Star Zone. If they’re spreading those Insect Clans to disrupt the Three Great Civilizations, it would be understandable.
But if that’s the case, why don’t they just cause destruction directly?
Given their identities, if they all act in unison, they might inflict significant damage on us.
Yet, they’re voluntarily exposing themselves online, not promoting their own church, but rather the power of the insect swarm and the idea of worshiping them...
This... this doesn’t make sense..."
The minister scratched his head, only confusion in his eyes.
Whatever the action, there’s always a motive, but now they can’t even discern the goals of these God believers.
And that’s not even considering the largest doubt.
That is, if these people are truly believers, these churches are currently at war with the Three Great Civilizations. They should be on the battlefield, not left behind.
After a few seconds of silence, the Minister of War broke the stillness.
"Unless they aren’t actually God believers, or at least not those God believers...
No matter how impossible it seems, after eliminating unreasonable possibilities, this is relatively more likely.
In the starry sky, it’s not just churches that believe in gods; there are many other organizations.
However, based on their current propaganda rhetoric, it’s hard to perceive any motives; theoretically, it just seems like they want everyone to surrender to the insect swarm...
But how could that be possible?"
"Perhaps, that’s exactly their intention..."
After a long silence, the president suddenly spoke in a somber tone, "As you’ve said, after eliminating all impossibilities, what remains must be the answer."
"Ahaha... Your Excellency, you must be joking, let’s return to the main topic."
The intelligence minister forced a dry laugh, noticing the president’s unchanged expression, the smile became rigid, and he awkwardly said.
"You were joking, right..."
"We have no way of determining this organization’s purpose, nor can we confirm its identity.
But if we put aside identity issues and merely look at the currently confirmed intelligence, what does this information online seem like to you?"
"Like... war-time surrender persuasion?"
The intelligence minister, following the thought process, cautiously repeated the possibility he mentioned in jest earlier.
The principle of their Roes Civilization has always been that government ministers must understand their field. As the minister overseeing Federation military, he may not be an expert, but he understands military matters to some extent.
Spreading personal reverence for the Emperor of the Carli Civilization before war, advocating its Magic System as the truth, claiming Carli Civilization as not invaders, but bearers of genuine prosperity for all...
These tactics, as the Minister of War in charge of military and intelligence, he’s seen in old records countless times, even having encountered similar strategies firsthand.
They are common military morale-dampening tactics, only he hadn’t connected them before.
After all, the current propaganda targets are a group of Insect Clans considered beasts in the Quantum Network.
Could anyone consider a thought promoting admiration for a group of beasts synonymous with beasts invading them?
It was only after a joking, theoretical perspective that the extreme similarity became apparent, yielding this answer.
But a joke remains a joke, and the Minister of War immediately denied it:
"But how could it be possible, those insects are nothing but war machines...
Not to mention whether those Insect Clans have the intelligence, these insect swarms only started rampaging through the starry sky recently.
Their incursion into the domain of our civilization happened only recently, yet these infiltrations occurred much earlier, there’s no temporal alignment.
