Chapter 428 Superhero Recruitment

Early in the morning, Luo Feng sat on his director's chair. There was a cup of expensive tea and a stack of newspapers on his desk.

Luo Feng picked out a copy of the New York Times, took a sip of tea from his tea cup, and began his intense and busy daily work as Director of SHIELD feeling refreshed.

During this time, Director Luo has not been so leisurely drinking tea and reading newspapers for a long time. These days, he first led the Earth Defense Force to fight against aliens, defeated Hydra's conspiracy, and carried out a major purge of S.H.I.E.L.D. , proposed at the United Nations General Assembly to send United Nations peacekeeping troops to Kosovia, and then was busy framing the politicians and generals who jumped out to oppose him...

A few months have passed in a flash, and we have been busy from summer to winter. Today is December 24th, and the annual Christmas season in the United States is coming.

Director Luo didn't know how Americans celebrated the holidays, so he asked Coulson and learned that Christmas is a holiday for American families to reunite, and there is a statutory three-day holiday.

Now, except for the security personnel on duty, there is no agent in the SHIELD building. They all went home to vacation with their families.

Director Luo had no friends and nothing to do, so he had half a day to spare and stayed with the director, drinking tea and reading newspapers.

The Avengers Girls also had a holiday, the alien mothership was on duty with the Iron Legion, and the alert level was lowered a lot.

This is because the United States finally gave up its coveting of the mothership and stopped doing things in front of and behind the scenes. The main reason is that the generals and congressmen who advocated retaking the mothership were framed by Luo Feng as Hydra generals. Unjustly imprisoned.

The Alien Technology Research Institute has been established for some time, and black technological achievements are constantly being produced. The rising technology tree can already support Director Luo's space fleet construction plan. The defense funds paid by various countries have also been in place. Everything is ready for the space fleet project and will be launched immediately. , construction started.

The engineering dock of the Space Fleet is located in the uninhabited island waters, and the progress of the project every day is very gratifying.

Director Luo, who was waiting for the fleet to be completed, was somewhat idle.

What Luo Feng was looking at was not today's newspaper. The pile of newspapers was the old newspapers he had accumulated since the Mojave Alien Strike Back.

Opening the newspaper on the second day of Alien Counterattack, the New York Times headline read: "Aliens attack, Earth Defense Forces fight bloody battles!" The accompanying picture shows American soldiers holding rifles fighting Chitauri soldiers. picture.

The headline of the Christian Science Monitor is: "The goddess of dawn is coming to the world, and light will eventually defeat darkness!" The picture is of Aurora changing the celestial phenomena, the aurora shining in the sky, and the railgun killing General Deathblade in one blow.

The headline of the New York Daily News read: "The world has never been so united, global coalition forces defeat powerful alien enemies!" The accompanying picture shows the WPC troops setting up preset positions.

The headlines of serious newspapers are mostly the same, but the headlines of some entertainment tabloids are very interesting.

"The bed-breaking President, a great hero who has been deeply misunderstood by the Americans." The accompanying picture is of course a picture of him kicking the fake alien messenger off the aircraft carrier.

"Discriminate against mutants? Discriminate against our saviors!" The accompanying picture shows the X-Men fighting against the Chitauri General's guards.

"Deep Digging: Is this Chinese person the one who saved the world?" The accompanying picture turned out to be a blurry Luo Feng shot from a distance.

Not to mention, this article did not know where it got inside information, and it actually revealed that it was S.H.I.E.L.D. who led the global coalition's battle against aliens, and the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who directed this battle.

Luo Feng's identity was also dug up by the writer. This is certainly not news in China, but in the United States, the media promotes that the defeat of aliens is the result of the bed-breaking president and American generals. Not many people know that S.H.I.E.L.D. Who is Director Luo Feng? Corresponding to the news headlines, it is really a deep dig.

However, the newspaper that reported Luo Feng was just a tabloid, and its influence was very limited. Even if the truth was revealed, it would be buried.

…

Looking at the newspapers on the day after Luo Feng was impeached, it was probably Hydra that was behind it. Many media outlets made the United Nations General Assembly a headline report that day. The popularity was very high. This time Luo Feng’s His identity and achievements in commanding the fight against aliens are known throughout the United States.

However, the news used the method of suppressing before promoting, first affirming Luo Feng's contribution, and then began to report Luo Feng's dark history at large, saying that he was cruel and cruel, killed prisoners during the Anti-Japanese War, and lived a corrupt and depraved life in peacetime. , in short, they tried their best to discredit it.

However, after Luo Feng defeated Hydra, the news trend changed again, revealing a major case of government infiltration by traitor remnants that shocked the U.S. political and military circles. As many as 20 congressmen were arrested, and the U.S. military was over 40 years old. Several military officers were investigated and three three-star generals were found to be undercover Hydra agents.

The person who thwarted Hydra's conspiracy was Luo Feng, director of S.H.I.E.L.D. The media overturned the previous smear campaign against him and started praising him again...

The cover character of the current issue of Time Magazine is Director Luo. In the picture, Director Luo looks calm, wearing the special coat provided by the director, holding a gun in one hand and pointing at the stars, and holding the earth in the other.

Below is the caption: "Guardians of the Earth"

…

Finally turning to today's New York Times, Luo Feng turned to the headline, which read: "S.H.I.E.L.D. openly recruits superheroes from around the world to form a space fleet, the Star Marines."

This news is based on the policies recently implemented by Director Luo, and the headlines can be regarded as a kind of soft advertising.

The "recruiting superheroes" written in the news actually beautifies Director Luo's new policy. Luo Feng wants to recruit more than just superheroes.

Luo Feng wanted to recruit anyone with extraordinary abilities, regardless of their identity or background, or whether they wore a colorful uniform and wandered the streets all day as a vigilante.

Even super criminals with criminal records can reduce their sentences by serving in the Space Marine Corps. While serving the reduced sentences, they can also receive high salaries.

There are a lot of extraordinary beings on the earth in the Marvel Universe. Mutants alone are a very large group of extraordinary beings. In addition to extraordinary beings who are born with mutated genes, there are also many people who have acquired superpowers by chance. , instead of letting these people wander around in society and commit crimes for one or two million dollars, it is better to stuff them all into the space fleet, drag them to the universe to cause trouble, and use their special talents on the alien battlefield.

This recruitment operation is called the "Superhero Recruitment Act", which is similar to the "Superhero Registration Act", but slightly different. Director Luo will not force superheroes to register with their real names. It will adopt a voluntary principle. It is okay if they refuse to accept recruitment registration. Just don't be a superhero.

Superheroes who refuse to accept recruitment and registration will be deprived of their law enforcement rights as vigilantes. If they run on the streets to meddle in other people's business, it will be illegal. SHIELD will send out the Iron Legion to arrest them.

In fact, superheroes do not have the legal power to serve as vigilantes, but the US police turned a blind eye to this before.

Luo Feng's Iron Man factory continuously produces Iron Man Armor MK2. The combat effectiveness of SHIELD agents wearing Iron Man armor is comparable to that of superheroes. Ten Iron Man armors stationed in a small and medium-sized city can basically ensure the stability of public security. There is really no need for non-professionals to help deal with crimes. They have destroyed more public facilities and caused more accidental injuries than criminals.

The recruitment bill was announced yesterday and has slowly begun to ferment today. However, I don’t know what the feedback will be. Director Luo will wait and see.
