Chapter 192 Thor's Descending Again
"Last night and this morning, riots broke out across the United States, and the Stark Group's new energy plant was attacked." Fox News at noon the next day was broadcasting yesterday's big news.
"Some analysts pointed out that this was a premeditated attack. Since yesterday morning, someone has stormed the Stark company building and shot and killed two Stark employees."
"Later that night, the Stark Group's new energy plant in Philadelphia was hit, and a group of thugs attacked the Stark Industrial Park."
"The thugs had a fierce exchange of fire with the security guards of the industrial park and the local police. The death toll reached 15 people and more than 70 others were injured." The news anchor broadcast the news with a serious face.
Li Jie, who used his mobile data to watch the news during the lunch break, also had a very serious expression, and Peter sat beside him and watched the news together.
As for Harry, of course he still has to ask for leave. As the helm of a super company, he doesn't have time to spend all day in school now.
"Afterwards, with the intervention of Iron Man and Nightcrawler, the chaotic situation last night was brought under control, but a mutant appeared on the spot and almost made the situation out of control again." The news screen showed the attack scene of the mutant giant, which all It is a picture taken by the police law enforcement recorder on the spot.
With its huge body and terrifying roar, the giant still looks very intimidating.
"Now the whole incident has become more and more complicated. Although Iron Man and Nightcrawler teamed up to subdue this mutant, it also made the whole attack suspicious." The news screen turned back to the host again.
"Let's ask the special commentator Mr. McCauley about this matter." It was the guy who clamored to promote the mutant bill last time. Li Jie thought he would not show up again.
After all, the previous government suppressed unfavorable news and news about mutants and changed the outlet. This also made this guy named Macaulay stop for a long time.
"This incident seems to be a premeditated attack, I believe anyone with a discerning eye can see it." Macaulay in the news is well-dressed.
"From the perspective of the motive of the attack, who is most likely to attack the Stark Group's new energy plant? Naturally, it is those old energy companies and countries that rely on petrochemical energy as the backbone of the national economy." Macaulay said this well That's right.
"The new energy plan launched by the Stark Group has obviously moved their cheese. It has caused them huge losses, and even said that they will be eliminated in the trend of history." Li Jie has long been aware of the impact of new energy. Talked to Harry and it does take a huge hit in that regard.
That's why Harry was asked to exchange his own energy channel as a bargaining chip to the Stark Group, so as not to know whether to support Tony Stark or not to support Tony Stark.
"Judging from the suspects captured yesterday, it is indeed true. Many of them are former energy company employees who have been laid off for various reasons, or related practitioners." Macaulay's explanation was full of emotion.
"The Osborne Group, which is only named after the Stark Group, has laid off employees twice in a row in New York City this year, with a total of more than 1,500 layoffs."
"And this is only the situation in New York. I believe that when new energy sources are rolled out, the number of layoffs in the Osborne Group will continue to increase." Li Jie didn't like Macaulay's tone, as if he was instigating something.
"As the Osborne Group is a super company that spans multiple fields, even if they give up their income in the energy field, it will not hurt them."
"The risk resistance of other traditional energy companies is far less than that of Osborne Group. It has been reported that OPCE will reduce crude oil output to prevent the impact of new energy."
"And many energy companies in the United States are also considering selling their own industries, or like the previous unlucky company that was destroyed by mutants, they are ready to declare bankruptcy at any time."
"This may cause the largest wave of layoffs in the United States since the last financial crisis, which will exacerbate social unrest. Therefore, many groups and individuals who have conflicts of interest with new energy are dissatisfied with the Stark Group, and then broke out into conflicts. strangeness."
Macaulay said clearly and logically, which caused the host to nod frequently.
"But among these people, there are many people who have received professional combat training, and there are even mutants. And it is said that these people are also the ones who organized the unemployed people to make trouble."
"It's hard to believe that there's no one behind this, and we can't help but wonder what role these people and mutants have played in this."
Well, Macaulay is an out-and-out believer in the "mutant threat theory", but his previous analysis still makes sense.
"Jason, he said how credible do you think?" Peter asked Li Jie in a low voice after watching the news.
"From the perspective of motivation, he is actually right. Those groups that are forced to lose financial resources due to new energy issues, and some of those employees may indeed go to extremes." Li Jie agrees with Macaulay on this point, Because it's obvious.
"But I'm not worried about that yet. The real concern is who is doing this shit."
"Do you have any doubts about mutants?" Peter asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say, there are good and bad mutants." Li Jie was not sure, after all, he remembered that there seemed to be an organization called the Brotherhood of Mutants.
The theory of mutant supremacy advocated by Magneto still has quite a few believers among mutants.
"The only thing I'm worried about is that if all the factors are combined, it will be really troublesome." Li Jie felt a little headache when he thought of this.
"What do you mean?" Peter asked.
"Just in case, those who are dissatisfied with Stark's new energy, those who are dissatisfied with the status quo of mutants, and even some other people with strange ideas, what will happen if they all gather together." Li Jie's words made Peter Feel a little scared.
"Hey! Dude, don't scare me. Are these people joining forces to start a war?" Peter shook his head, expressing that he didn't expect it to be true.
"Did you know? There is a magical thing called Murphy's Law in this world. As long as things tend to develop in a bad direction, they will inevitably develop in the worst direction." Li Jie felt that his words were a little bit It's superfluous, so I added a sentence immediately.
"Bah! I hope I'm not a crow's mouth."
When Li Jie was chatting with Peter, a phone alarm rang, and after a glance, it was a call from the comic company.
"Boss, the security guard and handyman who disappeared in our company is back again. He said he wants to see you." The female staff in charge of the front desk glanced at the strong and handsome man in front of her.
Thor, the God of Thunder, returned to the atrium again, this time without Loki by his side, only him. Had he obtained Odin's approval to return to the atrium with divine power?
