Chapter seven hundred and sixty-ninth: Exposure and accusation, ask for a monthly ticket) ask for a
Kai and Tony no longer participated in the subsequent events in Tahiti. Tony, in particular, felt particularly uncomfortable and did not want to stay in Tahiti at all. Except for this operation, he felt that his contribution was insufficient and his strength was stretched.
In addition, Carter's existence is also an important factor.
On the plane, Tony pretended to be casual and asked Steve what exactly he had said to Kai.
"He wants me to advise you." Kai said casually while sitting in Tony's luxury passenger plane, holding a cigar and lying on a high-end massage chair.
"Persuade me... Humph!" Tony felt that his father was simply blind to be friends with Steve. This kind of person is simply, to put it harshly, self-centered. He feels that Steve is being flattered.
It went too far, and I really felt like I was being fair and righteous. So now Tony is really annoyed with Steve.
"Actually, it's understandable." Kai didn't think there was anything wrong with this. We are all human beings, so who can really have no selfish intentions? From Steve's point of view, if he doesn't protect his friends, is he killing his relatives for justice?
"Understand?" Tony squinted at Kai. Tony really doesn't have many friends in his life. He only thinks of three, one is Rhodes, one is Happy, and the other is Kai. If Kai also agrees with Steve
, he felt like he was such a failure.
"After all, Barnes is his friend! The reason why he said that was just to find a suitable reason for his behavior. There is nothing wrong with that." Kai pretended not to notice Tony's little arrogance.
"Humph!" Tony may understand, but understanding does not mean that he will accept it, and he will even become even more angry. "My father and he are also friends!"
Kai shrugged.
"So, it's useless to reason about this kind of thing. It's better for everyone to talk about their positions." Caizhen thinks so. In the final analysis, it's about whose relationship is better. In Steve's case, Barnes is better than Tony's.
Dad is important, but Tony is serious. Barnes is a scumbag, not even a leg hair compared to his dad. The matter is that simple, and everything else is nonsense. There is no need to wrap things up in such a troublesome manner.
Tony did not continue the topic, but turned the topic to today's harvest.
Tony is eyeing the metal structure summoned by the witch.
He had a brief exchange with Hannibal before, and he came to the conclusion that once the witch completes the energy reaction of the mechanical mage tower, its energy supply will accelerate like a nuclear fission reaction until the witch as the raw material
It will stop only when the "mana" is completely consumed.
It may be impossible to resist the earth's nuclear weapons, but the problem is that the thing is not a dead thing that cannot move. The witch can hide dozens of kilometers underground at will, and she can come and go without a trace, and
She is not afraid of being chased. By then, the initiative will completely fall into her hands, and no one can do anything to her.
But it has to be said that the witch is a genius in a sense, and she actually created a combination of machinery and magic by herself. This gave Tony a very good demonstration, although he got a lot of Asgardian technology
, but so far, he has not done a good job integrating Earth and Asgardian technology.
After all, Asgard's technology naturally has a metaphysical nature, which still conflicts with Tony's scientific brain, and Tony has never been able to change his thinking. Let Tony integrate science and magic by himself, and many things have to be started from scratch.
Try a little bit. The Mechanical Mage Tower is a "product" that has been put into actual combat. Although its functions are very rough and most of them still belong to the category of spells, it does have some scientific elements. In terms of scientific progress, many
This is exactly what is needed at this time.
The Witch's Mechanical Mage Tower has such meaning.
Tony has reached a deal with Hannibal. Hannibal will hand over some parts of the Mage Tower to Tony for research, while Tony needs to give part of his research results to Hannibal. With the 'finished product' contributed by the witch,
He can fully look forward to using technology to realize magic one day.
This is also in line with Tony's understanding. In Tony's view, magic is a science that cannot be explained by scientific methods. He cannot release the magic by himself, so letting other instruments do it for him is an alternative. In this regard, Tony
Ambitious, especially after seeing the power of Asgard, Tony has a particularly strong desire in this area.
Perhaps because he became an orphan early, Tony is actually a very insecure guy. He feels very uneasy about the current situation of the earth, so he hopes to enhance the earth's heritage. Even if he learned from Tony, the earth
Even with a guardian like Karma Taj, Tony couldn't feel at ease.
After all, he still believes in himself more.
…
As the sky is getting brighter, the Daxi City incident has become noisy in the media and the Internet. The official certainly does not want this. After all, this incident was caused by a mistake in the Shadow Bureau, which allowed the witch to escape. And this matter has not been solved yet.
Everything was thrown to the Shadow Bureau, Amanda's Suicide Squad, and the Shadow Bureau didn't even know that it was a project that Amanda lobbied the government to start a long time ago. Strictly speaking, the Shadow Bureau was also a victim. After all, Amanda was also a victim of the government.
From the Bureau of Shadows.
The reason is that they want to add sand to the Bureau of Shadows, and prevent the Bureau of Shadows from becoming like S.H.I.E.L.D., out of control.
Unexpectedly, regardless of whether the Shadow Bureau was under control or not, Amanda's Suicide Squad would stab Lou Zi first.
And the basket is quite big!
The only good thing is that there are very few people who know the inside story. Otherwise, the government would have been overwhelmed by public opinion. More than 50,000 people died in Tahiti! This does not include the missing! The entire Tahiti became a sea.
A ghost town, even if the incident is over, the original people of Tahiti would not dare to return to that city. It is truly the biggest tragedy in American history!
The U.S. government is having a huge headache just to resettle the refugees who escaped from Tahiti.
Moreover, the government still has a huge hidden danger.
Batman and Hannibal!
Other superheroes, such as The Flash and the Three Girls of Chicago, have always been under Carter's nose. They have always focused on rescuing refugees and have not directly participated in the encirclement and suppression of witches, but Batman and Hannibal are the main force.
The key is that the government has absolutely no control over the actions of these two men.
For example, The Flash only operates in Los Angeles, and the Three Heroines also often stay in Chicago. Their behavioral patterns have been thoroughly understood by government analysts. Although they cannot be controlled, they can still deal with them. But Batman and Han
Nibal is different. These two people don't have a fixed territory at all. They can be seen everywhere.
Such two people would not be good children, let alone cooperate with the authorities.
The reason why the two of them didn't make trouble for Amanda was probably because they knew that Amanda was in danger. Of course, this was also one of the reasons why no one in the government would protect Amanda. If Amanda really escaped punishment, the two of them were unhappy, so they came directly to fight.
Big bang...
The officials would never dare to let the two of them find Amanda in person, otherwise this matter would kill a large number of relevant people.
Of course, Batman and Hannibal have been quiet so far and haven't caused any trouble.
But for now, the officials are already having a huge headache. According to informal statistics circulating on the Internet, not many of the victims in Tahiti were actually killed by monsters that night. After all, most people were caught
, transformed into a monster.
On the contrary, the head of the deceased was killed by the military police and people from the Shadow Bureau because he was transformed into a monster...
There are videos on the Internet that prove that when the witch is defeated, the surface of the monsters turns into a puddle of black rotten matter, and the people inside are fine but a little weak.
Apparently, those humanoid monsters returned to normal humans because the witch controlling them disappeared.
Batman and others had previously used non-lethal attacks against monsters, which had been witnessed by many people. Naturally, they could not be described as "massacring citizens."
So the government was in trouble.
After all, the military and police are not as strict as Batman.
Now the fun is great.
Those people who lost their families, friends, and homes would not so calmly consider the difficulties of the military and police at that time. They only saw their relatives and friends being killed by the military and police! They were obviously saved, and they only needed to wait until Batman and the others defeated the witches.
Can be restored to its original state...
In an instant, the heroes who were officially introduced just a second ago were immediately turned into murderers.
Of course, the public opinion was not one-sided. The official could not allow himself to become a murderer, so naturally some people came out to accuse and criticize, and they were reasonable. It was an emergency at that time. Who could notice this?
But there is no doubt that the official role in this incident has been very bad.
In addition, Hannibal and Batman have the truth about the Grand Rapids incident caused by some officials. This really lays this super mine, and it is more likely that it will finally blow up on the officials themselves. At the beginning, the TV media
They remained silent about the Grand Rapids incident. Even though TV station helicopters arrived shortly after the incident, none of the footage captured was released.
But this kind of thing cannot be delayed. The longer it is delayed, the greater the chance that the official will take the blame. The people of the American Empire are not innocent people. The United States has not been a country for many years, but there are many conspiracy theories. It is really delayed.
Don't know what will happen yet.
So the official side quickly reached a consensus.
Of course, the bigger reason is the Internet. Information has long been overflowing on online media. Various videos and pictures, including pictures and truth, have no room for manipulation.
On the morning news, major news media also began to report on it.
It’s not because of the conscience of the media. As the largest and most professional news producer in the world, this thing of conscience has been eaten by dogs long ago. The ability of these media to produce news is absolutely first-class. If you don’t believe it, just look online and you will know.
A variety of filters and various renderings, a professional one. They can even stand on the ruins of the war and say, "Although they have nothing, but they have freedom." They can say it without a face. What else do they dare not do?
If we had gone back more than ten or twenty years, believe it or not, these media would have dared to put the blame on Batman.
Otherwise, the Internet is a great invention.
At least it makes the cost of media fraud higher.
Although the permanent population of Daxi City is only over 300,000, after excluding the tens of thousands of casualties, there are still more than 200,000 left. People who are too old and too young are unlikely to be active online, so they can
Tens of thousands of people have been reduced. The remaining over 100,000 people want to express their opinions, videos and pictures online. It is not easy. These people alone can break out a lot of violent information. The situation in Daxi City cannot be covered up at all. Deaths and injuries
The people are closely related to almost everyone in Daxi City. They are relatives and neighbors, friends and colleagues, and even homeless people can tell that there are few familiar faces in their territory. This kind of news cannot be suppressed, and it is difficult to even guide the direction of the wind.
.
President Benjamin flew to Tahiti on a special plane the morning after the incident. Firstly, he expressed condolences, and secondly, he wanted to reduce pressure on the government. He had no choice but to stand up. Thinking about Benjamin makes me want to cry. He took office.
So much has happened in just two to three years.
Fortunately, Congress also knows that attacking Benjamin with these things is a bit too ugly. Benjamin’s crisis public relations is very good. At least after several incidents, Benjamin’s support has not decreased, which is amazing. Obviously the government has been criticized a lot.
It's tragic, but President Benjamin is so immovable that many people don't understand. But those who know know that it's because Benjamin has a good wife.
Benjamin's wife Margaret has always been a career-oriented woman. Because her husband was elected president, she had to interrupt her career. However, she became depressed for a while and even wanted to divorce Benjamin. Later, because of the invasion of the White House, she
Thanks to the rapid progress, the couple reconciled as before. So she changed her mind and started to get involved in her husband's career, intending to use her own abilities.
Many people in the political arena are now saying that the president’s wife is actually the first minister of the White House, not the secretary of state. Margaret is originally a media person. She has many connections in the media industry, coupled with her own abilities,
He can always help his husband avoid danger.
I'm going too far. In short, because the president has a very good image, and the situation on the earth is changing with each passing day. After experiencing several major events, everyone knows that in today's earth, danger is not far away from everyone. Therefore, President Benjamin is
The approval ratings among the two parties in Congress are quite good, and everyone is still willing to see a popular president stabilize the situation.
The president's condolences did not improve the sad atmosphere in Tahiti. After all, no one knows what the future will bring.
The only thing the official can do in this situation is to let the matter pass as soon as possible.
The information explosion brought by the Internet has advantages, but it also has disadvantages. That is, people's forgetfulness has become greater. A few decades ago, such a disaster would have been remembered by people across the country for a long time, but now, this time has greatly increased.
shorten.
Life is not easy, and most people don’t want to think about things that make people sad. This is also the reason why many people don’t like to watch literary films, but only like to watch football games and soap operas - simple, joyful, and effortless
Get involved.
The officials are obviously very good at this, and soon an entertainment activity appeared on the Internet: surfing the Internet on mobile phones to cheer for your favorite superheroes.
Whether it's nicknames, appearance, armor and equipment, or combat power and performance, they can be brought out every time and debated with fans of other heroes.
I have to say that this is really easy for people to get involved in. After all, compared to those tragedies, such arguments are more attractive.
So for a while, the Internet was full of wars of words. Fan groups of various superheroes cheered for their idols, but this thing always has to be contrasted to be interesting. Naturally, a situation was formed where one was praised and the other was criticized, and the debate ensued.
As soon as a debate occurs, there will be onlookers, and the onlookers represent attention.
With the attention gained, some media will naturally get involved and fan the flames. Their ability to make a living is to stir up trouble.
So the debate became more intense.
On the contrary, Tahiti's attention continues to decline...
I have to say, this thing is more magical than magic.
