Superman of the American Comics - Chapter 114

[Chapter 110? The existence of the magical world, the director who brings shame on himself]

Washington, DC, SHIELD headquarters building.

“This is the trident that can control the weather and set off a tsunami?”

Howard is like a curious baby, staring at the golden trident on the table, his eyes are full of strong interest

“Its energy readings fluctuate wildly and are erratic, it feels like a bomb that could detonate at any moment. Changes in the reference readings… The Trident’s energy source should be relying on weird writing inscribed on the surface. They are like solar panels It absorbs thermal energy and is guided by a complex circuit to the top.”

Howard held a homemade energy-reading machine, scanning the trident isolated in the solid glass layer.

If it wasn’t for Luke’s special instructions before he left, don’t touch it at will, he must be ready to start researching.

When it comes to new things, the military tycoon is always enthusiastic.

The temporary silence of the universe cube has made Howard lose his goal in the short term.

Namor’s Golden Trident is a good new option.

“Luke said it had… magic power on it, and it was dangerous.”

Carter reminded.

“Magic… Hehe, that’s just another form of science.”

As a genius scientist, Howard is undoubtedly a staunch materialist.

He didn’t believe that there were really wizards, wizards, vampires and werewolves in this world.

Those are all fantasy creatures imagined by third-rate writers to satisfy people’s desire for the unknown.

“I used to think so too, until Luke told me that beneath the surface of the world, there is a fantasy society where mages and devils coexist, werewolves and vampires coexist.”

Carter shrugged. As the commander of S.H.I.E.L.D., she is naturally qualified to know the existence of the three major temples and Kama Taj.

Moreover, I have seen Luke conjure a fireball out of thin air.

This made Carter doubt for a time whether it was true that there was a super-friendly negative distance relationship between Superman and many sorceresses.

Luke, who was trying to explain what magic was, shot himself in the foot.

He had to reiterate that he was not a witcher, he had no scars on his face, he would not be stabbed to death by a pitchfork, and he would not have jumped from a height of three meters and fell to his death.

“If there is a chance, you can ask him to show you around to satisfy your curiosity.”

Listening to Carter say this, Howard was dubious.

Although he often used the title of sorceress pile driver to make fun of Luke, he never thought that there was a horned, flame-covered Aryan demon, scantily clad, charming and enchanting sorceress really existed.

But if he had to choose, he hoped that the former was false and the latter was true.

“I’d like to see what those sorceresses who play with other people’s feelings and indulge in sensuality are like.”

Howard snorted lightly and said with a straight face.

It was almost written on the head “Come and seduce me, I am easily seduced by women’s lust”.

Carter rolled his eyes and said he didn’t want to be involved in this topic.

She glanced at the trident that was haunted by the electric light, and said in a serious tone: “I want to sort out the information on Atlantis, you’d better not mess with it. I don’t want to wait for Luke to come back and find the chief scientific research consultant of S.H.I.E.L.D., turned into a lump of coke.”

Carter knew all too well that every time Howard discovered something new, he couldn’t help but want to study it.

Moreover, it is still the kind of research mode that dares to die.

Before S.H.I.E.L.D. had not been reorganized, it was called the Strategic Science Corps.

This self-proclaimed genius and smart-minded arms tycoon was almost killed because he tested the energy balance of the universe Rubik’s Cube.

“I’m not a bear child whose parents are not at home, ready to make trouble.”

Howard pouted, pretending not to care.

“The Cube is my best toy, and this harpoon can only rank second at best.”

“Really? Why did I hear that your research on the Rubik’s Cube has made no progress, and you have started to conquer other projects.”

In the face of Carter’s ruthless dismantling,

Howard looked a little embarrassed.

Because the universe cube is motionless and unresponsive, like a cold brick.

Howard, who has temporarily lost interest, has turned to building fusion reactors.

To this end, he and Luke teamed up to get another wave of wool from the budget committee.

Those congressmen who were usually stuck with their money bags and refused to let go easily, now feel scared when they hear the name of S.H.I.E.L.D.

No way, they really don’t have a drop.

“By the way, what about Luke, what did he do?”

Howard changed the subject and said seriously: “To be honest, I’ve been a little interested in marine biology recently.”

Carter rolled his eyes at the other party. Are you trying to study marine life?

Obviously I am bored and want to find some exciting fun!

Luke had told her a long time ago that Howard was an adventurous, unwilling fellow.

Only scientific research can make him bear a little loneliness, other than that, there is nothing else, not even a woman.

After all, the male tradition of the Stark family is that before marriage, changing bed partners is more diligent than changing clothes.

“At this time, Luke should go to the White House.”

Carter stroked his drooping hair and said softly: “This matter is not over yet. The emergence of a marine civilization is enough to spark heated discussions around the world.”

“Testing, inquiring, gathering information… In the face of unknown civilizations, all countries will resort to means. Moreover, Luke defeated Namor-McKenzie and proved the power of the land world through a battle, but this does not mean Atlantis will choose peaceful coexistence.”

“In any case, we are ready for war. Next, SHIELD should be very busy.”

Howard scratched his head, thinking about the war between the marine civilization and the land world, wouldn’t Stark Industries have to take another wave of orders?

…

…

White House, Oval Office.

The sofa is full of people, the president, the chief of staff, the Pentagon general, the FBI boss…

If a missile falls from the sky and destroys everyone present, the country can be paralyzed in an instant.

“This mess was caused by S.H.I.E.L.D. They searched for mutant freaks everywhere, and they also got an X-weapon plan to pull in those dangerous elements and perform various tasks… which led to the latter.”

The FBI’s Edgar Hoover was the first to speak out, and the president called them here to discuss what to do with Atlantis.

“According to the information provided by Major General Carville, the king of the marine civilization, Namor MacKenzie, is also a mutant. He is doing justice for his fellow citizens. This is a legitimate reason, and there is nothing to blame.”

“So, I think it is appropriate to make compromises, such as ending SHIELD’s plan to recruit and contain mutants, which can give the United States a chance to breathe. Presumably everyone here, no one wants to have another war.”

Hoover’s analysis was eloquent. He looked at the frowning president and continued: “We won’t get any benefit from this war. First of all, there will be resistance among the people. World War II has just ended, who would want to carry it again. Gun, to fight a gang of marine races?”

“Secondly, we still don’t know the military strength of Atlantis. But from the strength shown by Namor-McKenzie, it should not be much worse. They can live underwater, can create tsunamis and Hurricane, put the battlefield on the sea, the aircraft carrier fleet is naturally in a weak position and can only be passively beaten.”

The generals of the Admiralty nodded. The two aircraft carriers of the Atlantic Fleet were powerless to resist the sudden attack of Atlantis.

Those blue-skinned undersea people, like smaller, more hidden miniature submarines, were elusive and hard to guard against.

The vast sea area is their [Dragon Teng] territory.

“However, Major General Cavill defeated Namor McKenzie, the Atlanteans who threatened our retreat with the lives of more than seven million people in New York were defeated.”

said a senior Army officer.

“Since ancient times, there has never been a saying that the victor has compromised and regressed! I am opposed to any suggestion put forward by the capitulationists.”

Hoover’s face was gloomy, and he said coldly, “General, no one said to surrender…”

“Before the war started, we thought about quelling conflicts through compromise. This is the capitulation faction! If we take one step back, there will be a second step. Do we have to be like the French, who directly raise the white flag in the face of threats and aggression?”

A senior officer belonging to the Army faction speaks without mercy.

This serious accusation made the smell of gunpowder in the office a little stronger.

Seeing that the boss of the FBI was sprayed, the Admiralty stood up and began to line up.

“In any case, Director Hoover is right about one thing. The trouble with Atlantis is ultimately caused by S.H.I.E.L.D. The Atlantic Fleet lost two aircraft carriers, Anna Maria Island was hit by a tsunami, and we The losses are heavy, and someone needs to be responsible for these.”

“Hehe, your Excellency must have forgotten who pushed the Lincoln and Stennis back to the dock.”

A big boss in the War Department sarcastically said: “Without Rear Admiral Cavill, the Atlantic Fleet would not only lose those two aircraft carriers, we may even lose sea control and have to retreat to the mainland. At that time, your navy will have to face being attacked. Disbanded.”

“It’s ridiculous! If the navy is disbanded, what future does the country have? Expand the country, fight for interests, radiate influence… Can your army do it?”

A big man in a white military uniform retorted.

“Damn Fake! When I fought the first battle, your navy was still following the british ass!”

The number of people on the line continued to increase, and the white uniforms and green uniforms were clearly distinguished, which directly pushed Hoover aside.

The quarrel in the office was getting louder and louder. Seeing that the two groups of people from the Navy Department and the Army Department were about to roll up their sleeves and fight with their fists, the president, who was covering his face, coughed twice and banged heavily on the table.

“All of you are generals of the United States, no matter how respectful you are, you are like street gangsters! The issue of accountability for the Atlantis incident has passed.”

The president acts as a peacemaker, preventing this matchup from continuing.

“Major General Cavill prevented Namor’s plan to flood New York, not only without fault, but also with credit. According to him, Atlantis was able to set off the tsunami by relying on the trident held by the king. That weapon has been seized , kept in S.H.I.E.L.D., and temporarily poses no threat.”

“What we’re discussing now is how to deal with the existence of Atlantis. The Pentagon doesn’t know anything about it, and the only information is from S.H.I.E.L.D.”

“Whether it’s war or peace, there should be a plan.”

Hoover, who was sprayed before, jumped out and rolled his eyes: “Mr. President, with all due respect, in order to improve the efficiency of intelligence work, S.H.I.E.L.D. should share information with the FBI and the CIA, and only sincere cooperation is required. , in order to reduce information errors.”

“Hehe, Director Hoover, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com In order to increase the fertility rate of Americans, why don’t you share your mistress with everyone… Sincere cooperation.”

The vulgar remarks from the War Department caused a lot of laughter, not even the old enemy, the Admiralty.

In the Oval Office, there was a momentary jolly atmosphere.

It can be seen that when quarreling, the next three routes are generally the most effective.

Extending from parents and wives to eighteen generations of ancestors, the damage output is directly full.

What kind of “his mother’s” of Wenxiaoxiao has no lethal power, and it can’t even break defenses.

Hoover flushed with anger, resisting the urge to curse and said, “This is the White House. Generals should pay attention to their words.”

When has the boss of the FBI suffered such grievances?

“Well, gentlemen, keep your manners.”

Mr. President, who was holding back a smile, stood up to smooth things out.

“Director Hoover is also dedicated to the public. If he wants to increase the way to obtain information, there is nothing to blame. It’s just that S.H.I.E.L.D. is responsible for abnormal events, mutants, Atlantis, etc., and it must be kept secret. sex.”

S.H.I.E.L.D., and the young director, have proven their worth.

In the face of the threat of Atlantis, the United States has to rely on Superman.

As for the FBI?

Just stay in a cool place.

“Mr. President, Major General Cavill is here.”

When a group of people could not discuss any results, the ivory-colored telephone on the table rang.

The president sat up straight and wiped his glasses.

Those generals who were blushing and arguing just now, also sorted out their messy uniforms and made a steady appearance.

Half a minute later, the tall figure pushed open the door and walked into the Oval Office.

“Everyone, a war is coming.”

He said so.
