Chapter 575: Jump!Cosmic Rubik's Cube!
Chapter 8, let's jump!Cosmic Rubik's Cube!
As the mushroom cloud of the nuclear explosion gradually rose on the island of Manhattan, the war against aliens was finally temporarily extinguished in New York.
What was left to the people of New York was a ruin full of nuclear radiation, as well as endless tears and pain.
——The nuclear bomb launched by the World Security Council at the last moment caused the death toll in the battle of New York to increase from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and caused 10 people in New York to die. Tens of thousands of citizens have suffered some nuclear radiation pollution.
Fortunately in misfortune, the nuclear bomb that landed in downtown Manhattan was not a strategic nuclear weapon of the level of massacring the country, but a tactical-level nuclear bomb with a [-]-ton equivalent equivalent, and its actual power was only equivalent to that of Hiroshima. A quarter of the atomic bomb: After all, this nuclear bomb was launched by a carrier-based fighter jet after it took off from the aircraft carrier, and the nuclear bomb that an ordinary fighter jet can carry is certainly not too large. There are always several "Big Ivan" with an equivalent of more than [-] million tons... But even so, just seeing the mushroom cloud rising behind the Statue of Liberty is enough to drive all the citizens of the United States of America crazy.
Not to mention that this hateful nuclear bomb did not come from an enemy country or a terrorist organization, but was launched by the Americans themselves at New York!
Although the equivalent of this nuclear bomb is only [-] tons, the population density of Manhattan is by no means comparable to that of Hiroshima or Nagasaki!Not to mention the devastating blow that real estate companies have received in this regard - from the world's financial center to a nuclear-contaminated area, how much will the land price drop?
So, after the press disclosed part of the truth, the White House's phone was completely blown up.
"...Where is our mighty army in the face of an alien invasion?"
"... Are the President and Congressmen out of their minds by launching nuclear bombs on millions of civilians? Or are they brainwashed by terrorists?"
"...The United States spent huge sums of money to manufacture so many nuclear weapons during the Cold War, is the purpose of destroying its own people?"
"...Nuclear explosion in New York! What the Soviets failed to do during the Cold War, the Americans did it themselves!"
And the President of the United States was also furious in the Oval Office: "...Launching a nuclear bomb on New York! Who came up with this crazy plan! I don't remember ever using the nuclear button! Can anyone tell me why someone can do it when I don't Knowing about launching a nuclear bomb against the United States?"
——For this poor Mr. President, the nuclear explosion in New York was nothing short of a disaster.The World Security Council never consulted the White House before launching a nuke bypassing S.H.I.E.L.D.And the president doesn't even know that there are many nuclear bombs in the United States that are not under his control!
"...I am sorry, Your Excellency, although the recent events in New York are very regrettable, all these decisions are legal. S.H.I.E.L.D. is legally allowed to keep a certain number of tactical-grade nuclear weapons, and the World Security Council It can be used at any time without the approval of the White House."
The president's legal adviser replied with a bitter face, "...Originally, this was used as the last resort to eliminate some dangerous aliens, such as a particularly dangerous supernatural creature or super villain. But no one would have thought that they would not say hello in advance , dropped the nuke on Manhattan!"
The World Security Council in the Marvel world, its functions and purposes are somewhat similar to the United Nations in the real world, but its actual influence is much stronger than that of the United Nations—because of the existence of various supernatural forces and dark aliens, it is responsible for dealing with these things The World Security Council has independent armed forces that are far stronger than the United Nations peacekeeping forces, and the most powerful armed force is SHIELD.
Although the rulers of all countries in the world want to rely on the power of the World Security Council while at the same time want to contain and dismember this behemoth they jointly created, there is no doubt that as long as the supernatural power and If the heterogeneous is not eradicated for a day, then the professional body of the World Security Council will need to exist.All governments can do is to control and penetrate as much as possible.
In general, the relationship between the governments of various countries and the World Security Council is roughly similar to the kingdoms and churches in medieval Europe, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is equivalent to the Knights Hospitaller or the Knights Templar.The governments of various countries have only indirect influence on S.H.I.E.L.D., but cannot achieve direct control.
Before, this kind of cooperation model could barely maintain, but with the nuclear explosion in Manhattan, New York, the White House, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon finally discovered the true face of the World Security Council, which turned out to be so frightening and disturbing!
This time, Manhattan was bombed with a tactical nuclear weapon. Will Washington be "cleaned up" with a tens of millions of tons of equivalent hydrogen bomb next time?
But today's extraterrestrial invasion has once again highlighted the importance of the World Security Council, which is really a dilemma.
The president sighed and rubbed his forehead, ready to consider the recent issues before saying, "...What is the status of the nuclear explosion disaster area? How many people died?"
"...a few blocks centered on the Stark Industries building were razed to the ground, and the whole of New York suffered serious nuclear pollution. The Statue of Liberty and the copper bull on Wall Street were covered in radioactive dust, despite all efforts to But the latest death toll is still over 40."
"...God! In this way, the Americans who died in the nuclear explosion in New York are almost close to World War II! Then such an unprecedented tragedy, someone must stand up to bear the anger of the people? World Security Has the council made up its mind?"
"...Unfortunately, Mr. President, the World Security Council has been silent on this, and has not expressed any responsibility at all."
"...Then launch a public opinion offensive! Since they have already dropped nuclear bombs on Manhattan without authorization! There is no need for us to maintain any tacit understanding! In any case, the World Security Council must take its due responsibility! If you can find someone It would be perfect if the Japanese representative came out to cut seppuku!"
His Excellency the President waved his hand and ordered helplessly.As a politician, of course he knows that as long as it is an organization, he likes to evade responsibility. A bunch of people drag responsibility to the void, as if everyone bears a little responsibility, which seems fair.In fact, this responsibility is floating in the sky.
After the accident, a bunch of people scratched their heads and shouted, "What should I do? What should I do?" But no one bravely stood up to take responsibility, or united everyone to solve the problem, only knowing to perfunctory and procrastinate.In the end, there was nothing to do with the public dissatisfaction. According to the mainstream of public opinion, a guy who was blamed was launched. What that person can do is not to solve the problem, but to apologize, resign, leave a sensational suicide note, and then commit suicide or jump. Railway tracks, calm down the anger of the people, so the matter is settled like this, and maybe it will be unanimously praised by the international community.
What?What if the hapless guy refuses to commit suicide?What do you think agents and killers are for?
The above-mentioned emergency countermeasures have formed mature routines in the political circles of various capitalist countries, but the problem is that even if it is to fool the people, at least one important figure must be introduced to take the blame!What's the matter with your World Security Council who has kept silent so far?Do you want the White House, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon to blame you?Why?
In this regard, of course, His Excellency the President must express in the most resolute way that he will absolutely not bear any responsibility that he should not bear!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
On the other hand, the situation of the World Security Council is also in dire straits.Of course, these directors also understand things that even the president knows.In fact, before the nukes were dropped on Manhattan, your unscrupulous directors chose a scapegoat - S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick.Fury!
Although this one-eyed black bald man is firmly opposed to the dropping of nuclear bombs, isn't the basic skill of mixed politics just to shirk responsibility and turn black and white!
Anyway, the fighter plane that launched the nuclear bomb took off from the floating aircraft carrier you are sitting in. Who do you not blame for this?
The problem is, as the king of agents among agents, S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick.Fury is not a naive and simple young child. He took the first step when the nuclear bomb was launched, and recorded the communication records on the S.H.I.E.L.D. , forcibly commanding fighter jets to launch into the air, and the communication screen of the nuclear bomb attack on New York, all of which were leaked to the news media in detail...
If only this is the case, the World Security Council may still have a way to block news.But the problem is that they played too much with the blatant nuclear explosion in New York this time, which seriously stimulated the White House, the military, and countless large consortia. I am afraid that the World Security Council will play the nuclear bomb smoothly, and it will He also sent a shot at himself... So under the joint siege of all parties, the World Security Council was suddenly criticized in the global public opinion circles, and could only denounce Nick angrily.Fury violated the regulations by leaking departmental secrets, and at the same time attempted to confuse the public by instructing his media to attack the superheroes of the Avengers, accusing them of beating up the aliens and leaving the battlefield alone, letting others wipe their butts...
However, you superheroes are not soft persimmons that are easy to pinch, Iron Man Tony.Stark immediately held a press conference and responded plausibly: "...this is simply a group of chainsaw killers, while stepping on someone's corpse with their feet, they justly accused the neighbor's child of making it crooked. Fence on the victim's home! Who is the guy who ordered the nukes to be dropped on 800 million New Yorkers? It definitely wasn't us anyway!"
In short, the current situation is that the U.S. government and the military are fighting with the World Security Council, the World Security Council is fighting with S.H.I.E.L.D., and at the same time fighting with the Avengers superheroes. The media channels cried out for grievances, telling their grief and indignation of being assassinated by nuclear bombs while defending New York from aliens in bloody battles... In addition, there were also tearful performances by countless New York refugees.On the headlines of major newspapers and news websites, there are horrific photos of New Yorkers' skin scorched and necrotic after being burned by radiation, and even their eyes ablated and peeled off.Various human rights organizations, charitable organizations, religious organizations, humanitarian organizations and green environmental protection organizations also joined in the fun, making the news media dazzled.There are also many parliamentarians canvassing for votes, giving speeches of various views, the main content of which is nothing more than shirking responsibility and accusing political opponents.
At the same time, the streets of New York are still full of gunshots and explosions.Taking advantage of the collapse of social order caused by the invasion of aliens, all kinds of ordinary hooligans and super villains came to take advantage of the fire. After the National Guard finished fighting the aliens, they had to continue guerrilla warfare with humans.In addition, all kinds of spies and agents lurking in New York are also trying their best to collect alien items, and countless conflicts broke out with the S.H.I.E.L.D.
Amid all the turmoil, the dizzy people seem to have completely forgotten one very important thing: the alien invasion is not over yet!
——The Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which turned into a giant blue fluorescent bouncy ball, is still bouncing freely on the vast American continent...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Over the eastern United States, in the command center of SHIELD's floating aircraft carrier, the current director of SHIELD, Nick.Fury, the tall, one-eyed black bald man with a mighty appearance, was sitting in his seat, watching the latest picture on the LCD screen, and couldn't help frowning.
——On the screen, the portal generator that triggered the latest alien invasion is now transformed into a cosmic cube that is a giant bouncy ball, and it is continuing to do irregular Brownian motion on the entire land of North America.Has now jumped over the Appalachian Mountains, into Tennessee.Along the way, it not only crushed countless houses, vehicles, and street lights, but also threw Chitauri alien soldiers everywhere like peppercorns.
Of course, these remote control signals are intermittent, and the alien cyborg soldiers who are basically on the street have not caused much damage to the lives and property of the people of the United States of America. On the contrary, they have given the American people along the way an unexpected fortune. wealth.But in any case, this still brought considerable trouble to SHIELD's work of recovering alien items... In recent days, some people have started to rob banks with alien weapons!
"...All in all, this is the situation! Everyone! Although the Battle of New York is over, Loki and his scepter have disappeared, and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is doing endless bunny hops on the territory of the United States. All this Problems need to be solved by capable people!"
nick.Fury turned around and faced the six Avengers standing behind him: Thor, Captain America Steve, Iron Man Tony, Black Widow Natasha, Professor Banner (the untransformed Hulk Hao g) and Hawkeye Button, said sincerely, "...the earth needs your strength!"
However, the superheroes who had just been backstabbed by a nuclear bomb from S.H.I.E.L.D. on the island of Manhattan, New York, obviously didn't buy such beautiful words.
