Chapter 427 Conflicting Information
Erich stood in awe as he looked around him. He had not even been in this era for but a few moments, yet he had accidentally stumbled upon the Germanic League, and by extension the founders of the Germanic Star-Empire.
However, this opinion was not shared by the others, who thought Erich was either some kind of freak at best, or at the very worst, an agent of the EU, sent with the purpose of destroying them. Because of this, they raised their rifles at Erich, many of which were modernized Soviet-Era firearms.
The man named Manfred Hartmann quickly walked away from Erich's side with a cautious expression on his face, instead standing alongside the ranks of his brothers in arms, and in doing so pulling out the pistol he was concealing and pointing it towards Erich's head.
"You know who I am? Just who the hell are you, man?"
Erich did not bother to raise his hands, and instead cautiously reached into his coat, pulling out a pack of cigarettes, but only after assuring the men he was not a threat to them.
"You can put those weapons down. I am not your enemy, rather I dare say I'm the exact opposite. Besides, with such primitive weapons, my body would regenerate faster than you can reload...."
This was obviously a rather jarring statement. Such technology had not yet come into existence, after all genetic engineering of human beings, and by extension Eugenics as a whole was a serious taboo in this era. Any scientist who dared to enhance the human genome would be blacklisted from the scientific community.
Many of the men did not believe Erich, and instead continued to threaten him while demanding answers.
Erich sighed heavily when he saw the men staring at him in disbelief, and perhaps existential dread. However, he simply dusted his coat off and lit his cigarette, smoking it before finally responding to their fear.
"Didn't I tell you that your weapons are useless against me? In my age, our people have evolved to a point to the point where our bodies are virtually immune to the weapons of this era. So how about you guys stop fucking me around and tell me what I need to know? I will reiterate my previous question now, and I would prefer if you didn't try anything stupid this time.
Just how much longer will it be before your scientists have developed the first FTL drive?"
It took some time for the shock to wear off, but there was no denying it after they had tried to kill him. I mean, what other explanation could there possibly be? Erich was indeed from the future, or at the very least, was an alien disguised as an oddly tall man.
Either way, they did not want to think about what would happen if they were to continue to resist this invincible stranger. There was only one problem... Nobody here had any idea what the hell Erich was talking about. And because of this, they were quick to express their confusion, albeit in a very docile manner.
"Listen, man, I don't know what the fuck you are, or where the hell you came from. But we have no idea what the fuck you are talking about! FTL drive? Isn't that some shit straight out of science fiction? Man, the last rocket that humanity sent into space was over fifty years ago! Nobody can afford to waste their resources on such frivolous shit!"
Erich was stunned by this information... By historical record, the FTL drive should be created within the next five years. But if what these men were saying was true, then humanity had, for whatever reason, abandoned space travel as a priority.
If that were truly the case, then who the hell created the first FTL drive?
