Chapter 3040: The Green Trees Are Thick and the Summer Is Long (End)

Chapter 3014: The shade of trees is thick and the summer is long (end)

Bruce is back.

He just finished playing two dungeons in the Doujie with Night Owl, and met one of Night Owl's teammates, earning a lot of points and getting some props that may come in handy next time.

The first thing he did when he returned to his universe was to go to Washington to solve the mess that had not been completely solved some time ago.

His job before leaving was to help Amanda set up the Federal Shield and help the Wayne Group to transform its industry to cope with the sudden economic crisis. He also added fuel to the fire in Mexico and secretly helped the black movement in full swing.

Against the backdrop of the global economic decline, Mexico has not only not calmed down, but has become more and more heated, but it is not a good phenomenon, because the original Mexican national independence revolution is about to evolve into a proxy war for major powers to divert internal contradictions.

After Oliver left, the revolutionary army team lost its backbone, firm ideas, and a capable leader, and the revolutionary team fell apart in an instant.

It cannot be said that they were all traitors planted by the CIA. It is just that revolution itself is very easy to have conflicts of ideas and opinions. Some people want to do this, some want to do that, some may be right but encounter difficulties, and some do the wrong but go smoothly, so it is inevitable that it will be a mess.

When Oliver was there, because he was the initiator of the revolution, his prestige was strong enough, and he was always very firm and determined not to make any compromises with external forces. He had many supporters, enough to suppress these contradictions.

But after he was defeated, the accumulated contradictions broke out completely. There was a group of people who were Oliver's diehards. They thought that the group targeting Oliver were destroyers of the revolution and raised their guns to them. Those people were not willing to be outdone and naturally began to fight back.

Some people wanted to put the overall situation first and mediate, but they did not have enough prestige, failed to get things done, and got into trouble. Some people were profit-seeking and fished in troubled waters and took away a lot of resources.

And just when the economic crisis broke out, the internal conflicts of many countries could not be suppressed, so they could only be transferred outward. They got a lot of people to pretend to be Mexicans, set up bombings in the country, and then claimed that it was done by the revolutionary army, and then legitimately intervened in the war in Mexico, successfully diverting the public's attention.

Originally, the United States would never sit idly by and watch others take action in its own backyard, but it is now unable to take care of itself. The most uncomfortable thing about this economic crisis is that it is the Soviet Union and the European Union are eyeing it covetously, and it is also afraid that the other party will jump off the wall in desperation, so it dare not act rashly.

This has led to a more complicated domestic situation in Mexico. The previous revolutionary achievements have been almost destroyed. There are even many people who have stolen the achievements of the revolution and established themselves as warlords, but in the end they still exploit ordinary people.

This has led to the good reputation that Oliver originally accumulated for the revolutionary army being almost ruined. Now many Mexicans feel confused. The revolutionary army has become bad, and they don’t know who else is good, and they don’t know where this country should go.

However, among Oliver's die-hards, there seems to be a young man with great prestige. He is the successor of Oliver's legacy. However, because he is too young and his methods of dealing with things are not mature enough, he suffered several losses and almost lost all his capital.

Fortunately, he has learned to be smart recently and knows to lie dormant for the time being, guarding a large piece of land they have taken before, building high walls and storing food, and waiting for the opportunity.

The international situation is not optimistic either, mainly because the United States is not very happy, because under their previous series of insane operations, the European Union was established.

The main difference between the European Union and the European Union is that the European Union is actually an economic cooperation organization, that is, it only cares about economic matters, such as tariffs, imports of goods, etc.

But the European Union is different. This means that most European countries have voluntarily given up part of their sovereignty. This is an alliance that integrates economy, politics and diplomacy, and even has deeper cooperation in politics. The presidents of various countries are equivalent to members of the European Union Parliament, and most political affairs must be decided in the European Union Parliament.

It sounds familiar. It is actually the equivalent of the Soviet Union in the capitalist United States. It can even be said that the relationship between some countries in the European Union is closer than that between many states in the United States.

This means that Europe has completely become a rope, and from now on, they will live and die together.

Before, the United States spent so much effort to provoke Britain and France, and then started to mess with Germany and Austria, in order to alienate them so that they can focus on each other.

However, once they unite, the bald eagle will suffer.

Many people have no idea about the location of Europe and the United States because the Chinese map draws them on both sides, but if you look at the globe, you will find that they are very close to each other. They are each other's important strategic pass, economic support, political assistance, and cultural ally.

It is not as easy to manipulate the other party as before if they start a new business, but the United States really cannot do without Europe. This can be regarded as the return of father and son, and the reversal of the Tiangang.

In addition, other major powers are also making rapid efforts to beat the United States when it is down. The strong financial resources accumulated by the United States during World War II allow it to hold on for a while, but if it continues like this, it is hard to say what will happen.

Especially during the Great Depression, the confrontation between the red and blue states became more and more serious. The black movement in the blue states was in full swing, and the anti-black movement in the red states was also in full swing. The escalating conflicts and violent cases gave people a feeling that the two sides were about to part ways.

As for the Wayne Group, Bruce was so anxious to come back because the situation of the Wayne Group was not good. The Wayne Group and the Luther Group were called the arteries and veins of the United States. If the situation in the United States was not good, they would naturally not be much better.

Moreover, the two sides had a strong competitive relationship. Recently, Luther got a large amount of food from nowhere, and his control over Metropolis became stronger. Clark, the idiot, also helped him. The Wayne Group's industry on the East Coast was compressed more and more.

Bruce came back this time mainly for the Wayne Group. No matter how good the scenery in the universe is, his hometown is more important. Let's not talk about how his personal relationship with Lex is. It is impossible to hold back in the business world. If he doesn't come back, the other party will swallow the Wayne Group alive.

As soon as the matter in Washington was over, Bruce ran back in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to go back to Wayne Manor, and went straight to the Wayne Group Building.

As soon as he walked in, Batman's keen observation made him find that the guards had changed. Originally, there was one guard booth on each side, but now there was only one guard booth left.

But Tim also told him before that because of the unfavorable business of the East Coast industry, there were personnel changes in the group. Although the layoffs of security personnel were not very smart, they could barely be regarded as cost-cutting. After all, the security situation in Gotham has improved a lot now, and two security guards are a waste.

Bruce took a quick look at the security guard and felt that Tim's vision was still good. This guy was tall and strong, and he looked fierce and intimidating. It must be enough to guard the gate.

"Hello! Sir!" The guard greeted him.

"Hello... uh, are you from outside?" Bruce heard that this guy seemed to have an accent.

"Yes, sir!"

"... You're still full of energy. Keep it up!"

Bruce continued to walk inside. He was still thinking about the security guard. He didn't pay much attention when he walked, and bumped into a lady holding documents.

"Sukka!... Uh, shit!"

Bruce had a big question mark on his head, but the lady quickly picked up the documents and ran away. Bruce could only stare at her back in a daze.

He turned a corner and got on the elevator. When he reached the second floor, two more people came up. Before the elevator door opened, Bruce vaguely heard them talking, but they didn't use English. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got on the elevator, they tacitly shut up and winked at each other.

Bruce pressed the top floor of the elevator. There was a fingerprint recognition on the elevator button. Only important people could press the top floor button, but Bruce pressed the button for a long time and there was no response.

He had to call Tim. Tim seemed very busy. There was a faint voice coming from the other end of the phone, and Bruce didn't think it was English.

After tinkering for a long time, the elevator finally went up. As soon as Bruce walked out, a beautiful red-haired woman smiled at him.

Bruce didn't know this woman at all. Judging from her age, she shouldn't be Tim's girlfriend. But except for a few of them, the shareholders couldn't go up to the top floor. Who was this woman?

And this woman's every move, every frown and every smile always reminded Bruce of a female agent named Natasha.

Finally arrived at Tim's office, Bruce saw Tim sitting behind the desk with a cat in his arms - a Siberian forest cat.

Seeing Bruce coming, Tim put the cat on the table. Bruce walked up and said, "What the hell? Why are there so many Soviet guys in the company?"

"To be precise, they are not Soviet guys, but KGB." Tim said calmly.

"What??!!"

"I told you, the East Coast industry is not doing well, the group is seriously short of funds, we can't spend so much labor costs, only the KGB is willing to work for us for free."

A loading icon also appeared above Bruce's head. Considering that he is Batman, whose thinking speed is close to the speed of light, this can also be called a wonder.

Fortunately, Bruce is not an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to adapt. In an emergency, he has to make decisions. Tim is really forced by the funding problem. It is not incomprehensible to hire some free agents to work, Bruce thought.

"It's okay, I'm back." Bruce said: "The funding problem will be solved soon, and then you can fire them all."

"All fired?"

"Yes."

"I'm afraid not."

"Why?"

"Because then we will be fired."

Snake Shield No. 2 is here!
