Chapter 1450 Global Crisis
The few days after the Texas Orc Riots occurred, the whole country was like the first period after 9/11, when people were still recovering from the pain. Although the pet Orcs and livestock Orcs were rescued in time, tens of thousands of people were killed in this riot. The number of casualties has exceeded the number of casualties caused by previous terrorist attacks by the villain Boss.
The time when General Zod and Superman fought in Metropolis and destroyed countless buildings, causing thousands of casualties, it was already a major disaster with more civilian casualties in recent years.
During the battle between Doomsday and Superman, the main battlefield was in the industrial area on the outskirts of the city. Many factories and warehouses were destroyed, but many civilian casualties were caused.
During the decisive battle between Shazam and Dr. Sivana in the playground, perhaps because the Shazam family only had children, there was no civilian casualty at all.
When Steppenwolf brought the Mother Boxes to fight against the five members of the Justice League, the battle took place not at all in the Hope Country itself, but in a sparsely populated backcountry. The people of the Hope Country didn't even understand that this battle was about the fate of the earth.
The orc riots are different from previous super criminal terrorist attacks. There are no super criminals leading crazy orcs to attack the city, and there will be no consistent pattern of the minions automatically breaking up and fleeing or surrendering after defeating the boss.
I don’t know why, but the soldiers led by the villain Boss in the DC universe are very timid. They will run for their lives as soon as the boss knocks them down.
This was extremely obvious when Darkseid invaded Earth. As soon as Darkseid was defeated, his demon-like army immediately escaped through space tunnels and fled back to Apokolips.
If Darkseid understands a little bit of strategic thinking, plays unrestricted warfare with superheroes, restrains the superheroes himself, and sends demonoids to massacre civilians, even if he is beaten back, hopefully there will be heavy casualties among the people, and someone will jump in. Come out and accuse the superheroes of not being able to save the world. If you keep doing this a few times, without Darkseid taking action, I am afraid that the people of Hope Country will blame the superheroes for attracting Darkseid and make them suffer the pain, and simply drive away the superheroes. Leave the earth to stay safe.
The orc riot is different from the general disasters that occur on Earth in the DC universe. It is more like an accident than a terrorist attack.
The mad beasts have long lost their minds and will not run away because their leader is defeated by superheroes. Even if they are massacred by superheroes, they will eat two more mouthfuls of human flesh before dying. There are only a few mad beasts scattered in every corner of the city. It was difficult to destroy several extraordinary beings in a short time, which resulted in the tragic death of a large number of civilians.
In the past, after the country of Hope suffered a terrorist attack, a villain boss would stand up and take the blame. When the government disclosed the truth to the public, it only had to say: "It was a conspiracy planned by so-and-so, and it was foiled by heroes. Everyone called so-and-so super. Just criminals, cheers to our heroes.”
Now that the people have a channel to vent, they won't point their fingers at the government. However, this time without a villain Boss as a target, President Wayne is the first to bear the brunt, attracting a lot of hatred.
In fact, he deserved the scolding. After becoming president, Bruce was careless about politics. He somewhat ignored the impact that the orc problem might have on the country, so he did not make any response plans. He seemed quite passive when the riots occurred, and because The super soldiers were sealed away and were widely criticized by the military.
Military bosses even publicly declared to the media that if President Wayne hadn't forcibly sealed away super soldiers worth tens of billions of dollars, these super soldiers would have definitely wiped out all the Mad Orcs in the wilderness on the outskirts of Dallas before they stormed into the city.
Some reporters were even instructed by the military to leak a video of a super soldier performing. In the video, the super soldier is as easy as a Terminator holding a Gatling cannon with one hand, hitting a fast-moving target very accurately, showing the Extraordinary shooting accuracy.
This can also be regarded as the military’s revenge and counterattack against the president for abolishing the super soldier program and arresting a group of generals for trial on anti-human rights charges. In the military’s view, weapons themselves are killing tools and are used against humanity, justice and evil. The only difference is whether it is used to kill enemies or to kill one's own people. It scorns President Wayne's upright superhero moral standards.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Bruce was overwhelmed, but this could not be entirely blamed on him. The main reason was that Bradlow repeatedly caused trouble for him and excessively affected his energy. After the Seven members of the Justice League were defeated by Bradlow, Bruce even more I couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning, thinking about how to defeat this traitor who was a little too good. I really had no time to distract him, so I made a mistake.
The Orc riot in Dallas broke out and tens of thousands of citizens of Hope State died tragically. This completely kicked the focus of the Ork issue. For a time, people across the country paid full attention to it and regarded it as an important test of President Wayne's ability to govern. If he doesn't handle it well, voters will use their votes to give him a deterrent stance, and he might even be impeached while in office.
Bruce could only put aside his obsession with his rebellious son Damian for the time being and concentrate on dealing with the orc problem.
After hoping that the country had finished licking its wounds, it began to look for someone to vent its anger on, and it was necessary to find out the culprit that caused this tragedy and deal with it severely. President Wayne immediately held a video conference at the White House Multimedia Command Center to have a video conference with Indian Prime Minister Singh During the phone call, he issued a solemn protest to him, demanding that India immediately ban all imitation animal-humanizing agents.
In the video conference room, the network link was established and Prime Minister Zingo appeared on the screen. Bruce was stunned when he saw him. It turned out that the Prime Minister looked haggard and had two dark circles under his eyes. It looked like he had not rested normally for a long time.
Suppressing his curiosity, Bruce protested according to the diplomatic draft prepared by the secretary. Prime Minister Zingo sighed with a dull look in his eyes: "Your Excellency General Wayne, we have comprehensively banned generic drugs and all generic drug factories have been demolished. .”
Bruce was stunned. He didn't expect India to be so single. He thought that Indians felt good about themselves and were very face-saving. No matter what, they would say a few words like "The world's most powerful country cannot interfere in India's internal affairs."
Pushing the envelope is a common tactic in diplomatic negotiations. As an experienced businessman, Bruce blurted out without thinking: "Banning generic drugs is not enough. India must also compensate the dead and injured citizens of Dallas!"
Prime Minister Zingo sighed deeply: "Your Excellency, President Wayne, I have no problem with any request you make now. Anyway, even if I promise you, I can't fulfill it because I have lost control of the country. The entire country has fallen into There was complete chaos. Hundreds of millions of degraded orcs rioted across the country. The army has been defeated by the orcs. Now only the defense line around the capital has not collapsed. I was still thinking about launching nuclear missiles to bomb the orc riot area. The reason why I didn't do this is, It’s because my general told me that except New Delhi, all areas are riot zones and our nuclear bombs can’t blow them up!”
