Chapter 1351 Coping Strategies
The edge of the solar system, the defender star port. Originally, this place existed as the outermost defensive line of the eight planets in the solar system. This is a strong fortress and a powerful firepower depot. Any alien invaders who dare to invade the earth and invade the solar system for no reason will be punished by the defenders of Starport. Violent artillery fire, let them know what is called "the jackal has a shotgun". Originally, this star port should be like this...
But now that the Defenders Starport has gone through the last transformation (that is, when Commander Irene brought volunteers from the Nova Corps to help the Earth), maybe it should be renamed from the Defenders Fortress Starport to the Defenders Entertainment Star. port. As for why it is still called the defender? Probably to defend Earth Entertainment to death...
If it is said that the last time Earl Messiah and Lai Jia came to the earth with malice, and the idea that they just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and leave quickly. So now this time Messiah and Lai Jia have come to earth with a lot of goodwill and more expectations.
And this time, what greeted them was not [the jackals are here and there are shotguns] but [the friends are here and there are fine wines]. The place to receive them is Defenders Entertainment Starport. This place will also become a bridgehead for the earth to entertain alien friends in the future. Why is it called a bridgehead? Because Li Jie and others discovered that compared to tangible weapons such as guns and ammunition, the invisible sugar-coated shells are indeed more lethal. How many people did not fall under real guns, but fell under sugar-coated shells?
For example Count Messiah and Super Skrull Raja. They are now living happily and comfortably in Defender Entertainment Starport. The so-called "reluctant to think about it here" is really suitable when it is applied to them. Even more comfortable than when they were imprisoned on Earth.
Because when they were imprisoned on the earth, they were always prisoners. Although people on earth have provided them with food, drink and fun, there will always be a little bit of resistance in their hearts. And now here, they are no longer prisoners but come to Earth as diplomatic missions. This is a kind of equal status, and I and others can enjoy various things naturally.
Of course, although the Messiah still came in a spaceship this time, the spaceship that came this time was much larger and there were many more people. There were nearly 5,000 Skrulls brought by the Messiah. Because the Messiah has his own ideals. He wants to teach all the Skrulls the temperament of the aristocratic life in the Earth movie.
I need a lot of people to learn all kinds of cultural knowledge on earth, especially various entertainment methods. For example, learning musical instruments, cooking, flowers and so on. Only when enough Skrulls have learned this knowledge and spread this knowledge can they realize their ideals.
Of course, I can't forget my mission this time. I and others need to communicate with the people on Earth, and then let them build a bridge between Skrull and the Nova Army, so that the Skrulls and the Nova Army can form an alliance. Only in this way can Skuru have the capital to contend against the possible coalition forces of Thanos and Kree.
"So everyone came to Earth this time with a diplomatic order?" At the banquet welcoming the Skrull diplomatic mission, Nightcrawler raised his wine glass and toasted Messiah and Lai Jia.
This is a small welcome banquet, and the participants include Nightcrawler, Iron Man, Professor X, Messiah and Raja. Because eating at this welcome banquet is not the main purpose, the main purpose is to figure out the purpose of the Skrulls coming to Earth again.
"Yes, this time we came to the earth with good intentions. Actually, I like the earth very much, you know." Messiah did not shy away from his obsession with the earth: "I like your culture, food, wine and all kinds of things. way of life and entertainment."
"I hope our civilizations can coexist peacefully." Messiah raised his glass and made his toast to the Nightcrawlers.
After the first glass of wine was drunk, the banquet entered the topic. Lai Jia explained the meaning of Emperor Skrull XI's request for them to come to Earth this time, of course, in a more official way: "After Count Messiah and I returned to the planet Skrull, we conveyed to His Majesty the Emperor that the people on Earth have come to Earth. goodwill." Lai Jia said more implicitly, what she said was about the fact that people on Earth ate Skrulls and turned into cows.
The eleventh emperor is now facing the pressure of Thanos, and he has no choice but to give up pursuing responsibility for the earth. For the Skrulls, what is more important now is to unite with the Nova Corps. Of course, this cannot be clearly stated. It can only be said that Emperor Skuru understands the righteousness and believes that all this is just a misunderstanding.
Then Lai Jia also expressed Emperor Skrull's best wishes to the people on Earth, saying that the last time they sent people to fight the people on Earth was a complete misunderstanding.
Well, listening to their nonsense, Li Jie felt that his IQ had been insulted. But there is no way, for this nonsense, Li Jie not only can't show his displeasure, but also echoed Lai Jia's words: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right, big sister."
This kind of thick-skinned thing really can only be done by Li Jie, Tony and Professor X. Needless to say, Li Jie, Tony is also a businessman. Although he doesn't like it, he can still do it occasionally. As for Professor X? He is a super old fritter.
"In order to express our apologies for attacking the earth last time, we also sent some Skrull's special gifts here." Lai Jia said that the special gifts included some gem minerals produced by Skrull and some unimportant civilian technologies. product. For example, something like a deep sleep floating bed that can sleep for two hours to satisfy a day's sleep.
Of course, the Illuminati took all these things as they were ordered.
Then Li Jie also started some official rhetoric, such as saying that the earth civilization and the Skrull civilization should actually work together to create a new situation of a peaceful universe. After the nonsense that the two parties were so boring that Tony almost fell asleep, Raijia finally talked about the real meaning of their coming to Earth.
"I'm very sorry for the last time we came to Earth, especially with the Chitauri fleet. Because this caused troubles to Earth, and even attracted the arrival of the Nova Corps. In fact, we Skrulls There is still a lot of respect for the Nova Corps."
"We don't want the Nova Corps to misunderstand our Skrull civilization due to the last military operation. So I hope Earth can help us sign a line and build a bridge so that we can meet with the Nova Corps." Lai Jia smiled. Very harmless.
———————————
Inside the Venus base.
Li Jie rubbed his temples: "Tony, what kind of wine did you bring to the banquet? I feel a little headache after drinking it."
"Damn it, the wine I brought is not top-notch at all. It's the best champagne." Tony knocked Li Jie's foot off the conference table: "Put it down, you're getting more and more presumptuous now. It's over After marriage, I don’t know how to restrain myself.”
"Why restraint?" Li Jie waved his hand. Anyway, my wife is so powerful and has such a powerful background, with my wife as my backing, do I have anything to be afraid of now? This was what Li Jie didn't say in his heart. He glanced at the end of the conference table, and Thor was eating something sleepily. Li Jie asked, "What are you doing?"
"Eat instant noodles." Thor raised the item in his hand, a box of Thai-style Tom Yum Kung instant noodles.
Li Jie was furious: "We are in a meeting, you can't be serious, how can you eat instant noodles? You just eat it, and you don't bring me a copy! You don't know that I have to deal with aliens at night." Are you not full?!"
"Cut, there are so many excuses for wanting to eat instant noodles." Thor took out a box of instant noodles from the box under his feet and threw it over.
Li Jie tore open the instant noodles, and he found an important thing, that is, there was no boiling water. He had to say to Dr. Doom: "Doctor, borrow some hot water."
Doom: ...
After eating the hot instant noodles made by Dr. Doom with magic, Li Jie felt that he was saved. The stomach that had been empty and lonely all night was finally satisfied.
"Hi'er~" After eating and drinking, Li Jie found that everyone was looking at him, so he smiled embarrassedly: "Do you want to eat some too?"
"I'm not hungry, I just want to discuss what you think the purpose of the Skrulls coming to Earth this time is? Why do they want to contact the Nova Corps." Professor X shook his head and said so, which is a The topic of the meeting was pulled back to the normal category.
Because everyone already knew that Skrull's envoys came to Earth to express their goodwill to the people on Earth. Although everyone doesn't believe it, everyone basically regards Lai Jia's last sentence as their main purpose for coming to Earth. That's when the Skrulls want to meet the Nova Corps.
"Could it be that the Nova Corps expressed dissatisfaction with the last time the Skrulls hired the Chitauri to come to the galaxy?" Captain Rogers was taking the Tom Yum Kung noodles that Li Jie snatched from Thor's box. (Thor: I bought this! Li Jie: Shut up! Everyone is hungry!)
"It's not impossible." Tony nodded, tearing, he tore off the plastic film of a box of instant noodles. Then he frowned: "Can I change the flavor? I don't like Tom Yum Kung." Li Jie said that there was no problem, and he snatched another box of tomato beef flavored instant noodles from behind Thor. (Thor: This is my instant noodles!)
Dr. Banner, who took the Tom Yum Kung flavor that Tony didn't want to eat, was obviously not that picky. He tore open the package and guessed: "If this is the case, then it is very possible that the Skrulls want to reconcile with the Nova Corps. They Earth may be needed to speak. We might even be able to make some demands on them."
After Li Jie asked Professor X and Dum, they both expressed that they didn't want to eat instant noodles. At this time, Li Jiecai stopped his hands of making instant noodles, and said: "Actually, I also have some small guesses. I think the expression of dissatisfaction by the Nova Corps may be a factor, but it should be more than that."
"After all, it's useless if it's just a diplomatic threat. It's like when I play the game "Civilization", the civilizations in it make statements and condemn me every day, but is it useful? Who should I hit or hit?" Li Jie shrugged and spread his hands. : "If there is no real threat, they can't really want to meet with the Nova Corps."
"Will the Nova Corps attack the Skrulls?" Dr. Banner was a little skeptical.
Li Jie opened another pack of instant noodles for himself, and said, "Why did the Nova Army come to attack the Skrulls?"
"Then what are you talking about?" Captain Rogers was dusting the instant noodles.
"You have forgotten that it was the Chitauri who came to beat us last time? And the Chitauri is under Thanos, and what kind of character is Thanos? We might as well ask Dr. Doom about this." Li Jie I was preparing my second box of instant noodles, and at the same time pointed to Dr. Doom: "Dr. Doom is probably the person who knows Thanos best here. He has read quite a few black dwarfs and extraordinary dragons. What about "The Chronicle of Thanos". By the way, has General Deathblade joined the ranks of writing?"
Dr. Dum, who was using magic to make hot water for instant noodles for the big guys, curled his lips: "Not yet, but I believe it will be soon. When he has eaten enough muddy food and smelled the aroma of chicken legs."
After Doom soaked everyone’s instant noodles with the hot water he had transformed (everyone was eating except him and Professor X), Dr. Doom said: “The black dwarf provides a lot of information about Thanos and him. Information about the Dark Order. Although he feels that he has not disclosed any important things, we can actually infer a lot of important things through some side descriptions."
"For example, about the operation of the Dark Order, the attitude and character of Thanos towards his subordinates, and his mercenaries. For example, the Chitauri. Chitauri is a dog of Thanos. They tie knots and hire Army, using this method to get resources for Thanos. I believe that the Chitauri were hired by the Skrulls because the Skrulls paid enough conditions. But in the end the attack failed and the Chitauri were completely defeated .”
"It is reasonable to say that if the employment fails, the employment fee will naturally be gone. But can Thanos endure such an ending? He is not a person who likes to suffer. Where should the loss be recovered?" Dr. Doom pointed with his chin Pointing to Li Jie, motioned him to continue.
Li Jie interface: "Skrull, there is no need to guess. He is unlikely to spend so much manpower and material resources from the centaur to come to the earth to make up for his losses, and the earth will not be able to make up for so many losses. If he leads an army to the Milky Way, Then he will have to fight the Nova Corps first. The Nova Corps will not allow him to enter the galaxy with an army."
"The last time the Chitauri came to Earth, they also used a sneak attack, and the scale was not very large. For the Nova Corps, the army of that size only needs to let the border guards fight casually. So instead of coming from the Earth, It’s better to find it from Skrull, a fat sheep, to make up for the loss. It seems that the Skrulls are very powerful, but they are not incomprehensible.”
Li Jie wiped his mouth with a table paper: "According to the information of the Nova Corps and the description of the black dwarf, the Skrulls also have a powerful enemy, the Cree. The Cree are the allies of Thanos. Ba has never been involved in the war between the Skrulls and the Cree. However, it can be seen from the fact that Thanos and the Cree have formed an alliance. In fact, Thanos has coveted Skrull for a long time. Maybe Thanos is just right now. Found a good excuse. Can blame the Skrull."
"No matter what excuses Thanos uses, in short, as long as the Skrulls bow their heads, then Thanos will definitely ask the lion to open his mouth. And if he dies, maybe Thanos will join forces with the Kree. I believe that if the two fronts go to war The Skrulls are definitely going to lose." What Li Jie said was the truth, and his guess was pretty close.
Because the clues are here, it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion after a little analysis.
Tony nodded: "That's right. Your analysis makes sense. But we can't be sure yet."
Li Jie spread his hands: "It doesn't matter, we will entertain Messiah and the others with good food and drink. It doesn't matter if I guess wrong, anyway, we are not the ones who are in a hurry." Li Jie planned to use procrastination formulas to deal with Messiah and the others. Lai Jia, anyway, Captain Irene of the Nova Corps will not be here for a while. When she came, Li Jie and the others talked to her and settled down in Taliskulu. If the truth is what he guessed, then the only ones who are anxious are the Skrulls.
"So we'll just wait." After Li Jie said this, he took a mouthful of instant noodles, and then he looked at Dum and Professor X: "Are you really not going to eat it?" There is the smell of instant noodles and the sound of eating noodles, which makes you hungry when you hear the sound and taste.
Doom smiled contemptuously, then waved his hand. He opened the door of the space and directly brought a full set of dishes for two people including appetizers, main dishes, soups, desserts and drinks from the palace kitchen in Latovilla.
The steaming steak and puff pastry soup were placed in front of Professor X and Dum. After the two arranged the napkins, they nodded to each other. Dr. Dum reached out to Professor X and said, "Please, Professor."
"Thank you, then I won't be polite." Professor X nodded and smiled.
Other bigwigs: …………………
Dumoos: Ask me to make hot water for you to make instant noodles. I have something delicious but I won’t give it to you. Just eat instant noodles obediently. Hahahahaha! ! !
