Chapter 1195: Be Soft but Afraid of Hard (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!! Please Recommend!!)
King T'Chaka of Wakanda is a wise man. When he was young, he, like his son, felt that he should lead the country towards openness. But as he ascended to the position of king, his position soon changed. He quickly changed from a reformist to a conservative.
He even killed his brother who supported the reform with his own hands for this reason.
There is a power factor in this. He needs to secure his throne, and it is more about a compromise with reality. The foundation of his kingship is the six major tribes. If the six major tribes are contrary to his people's will, then he will not be able to continue as a king.
So his position quickly reversed.
It's just that one moment and another, some things depend on the environment. Take our country as an example. If you came out to emphasize environmental protection during the reform and opening up period in the 1980s, you would be hammered to death! Why the hell are you talking to me about environmental protection when so many people don’t even have food to eat? Economics and environmental protection, needless to say, the absolute choice is economics.
But now, environmental protection must be taken seriously.
Because future generations also need to eat! We can't let it go and leave future generations with nothing to eat.
So now we need to go hand in hand with economy and environmental protection.
You see, Europe as a whole is now calling for environmental protection, and even formed a political party because of environmental protection. That's because they have passed primitive accumulation and they no longer need to sacrifice environmental protection to develop the economy. But if you try moving the time forward a few decades?
Still beaten.
Environmental protection is not inherently right, but when it reaches a certain level, it becomes right.
The same is true now in Wakanda.
When T'Chaka first became king, countries had just emerged from World War II, and the United States and the Soviet Union were still in the Cold War.
With the level of technological development at that time, Wakanda still had an absolute advantage.
But what if we look at it now?
Wakanda's advantages are getting smaller and smaller. Even if a war does break out, Wakanda may not be able to defeat the big powers outside. After all, technology is technology, and war is war. Just because you have vibranium doesn’t mean you can’t be blown up. Not everyone is Steve and can play with vibranium!
It is also because of this embarrassing situation that the calls for reform are getting louder and louder. This is also the reason why T'Challa is so awesome. Try it a few decades ago.
So, in this world, times always create heroes.
T'Challa is not reckless, but based on real needs.
However, the reality is still that reality. Wakanda needs reform, but the problem is that conservative forces are still very strong.
"Okay! I don't want to hear any more of this bickering. Back to the topic. Tell me, T'Challa, what are you going to do?"
"I hope this danger can be eliminated." T'Challa paused and then said: "This invention is too dangerous. If outsiders really develop vibranium nanoworms, then for us in Wakanda, , is tantamount to a disaster.”
"What are you going to do?"
“Destroy all information about this weapon.
"That will attract the attention of other countries!" Some elders immediately objected.
After all, if you really do this, the scope of involvement will be too wide.
"That's right! Do you know how many people we have to kill if we really want this technology to disappear? Do you really think that the countries outside are all idiots?"
Then came the overwhelming opposition.
T'Challa also had a sullen face, looking dissatisfied.
"Then what do you want? Do nothing?"
Seeing that there was going to be a fight again, T'Chaka slapped the table with a headache!
"The elders are right. Too many people are killed and the impact is too great. So don't mention this again. Is there any other way?"
"Then we can only get those bombs back... If they have them, we have to have them too! It's like a nuclear threat. But it's not safe. After all, we don't have the relevant technology. If we reverse engineer it, it will definitely take a lot of time. . I think my previous method is better!”
"Stop talking! Just do it! Go and get that thing back!" T'Chaka said decisively, obviously not wanting to get involved with his son.
The elders actually still felt that T'Challa was an alarmist, but after thinking about it, it was much better than the previous mass killings.
So I thought about it and said nothing.
But what they didn't know was that just when they thought they had stopped T'Challa's mischief again, a smile appeared on T'Challa's lips.
A lot of times, that's what happens. If you want someone to agree to an excessive request, the best way is not to persuade them, but to make an even more excessive request! After they don't agree with anything they say, if you ask for your original request, he may agree.
T'Challa didn't intend to be so radical at all. After all, if he did so, he would completely offend those big powers.
But he knew what kind of virtue those elders were.
Therefore, they deliberately did not mention their original requirements, but introduced a plan that they would never agree to.
When they couldn't bear it anymore, he took the opportunity to ask for what he really wanted, and sure enough, they agreed.
If you don't have some tricks to fight with these old gangsters, you really can't accomplish anything.
As for the old king, he naturally has a clear understanding of fire, otherwise he would not be so cooperative. This is a kind of tacit understanding, but it can't be shown anyway.
…
In a situation that Kai didn't expect at all, there were two more players inexplicably involved in the nano bug bomb.
After all, this matter has nothing to do with him at the moment.
He is now focused on his daughters.
"Why don't you take me to play!
! "His favorite little daughter, Bernadette, is rolling all over the floor now, not caring about the dirt on the ground. After a while, her beautiful little skirt was completely buried by her.
Teresa covered her head with a headache, knowing she would have said nothing to take this little bastard with her.
Before, after they were injured, they were brought back to Stark Tower by Pepper.
However, according to Pepper and Raven's request, she did not reveal the fact that both Kai and Raven knew what they had done.
In fact, this kind of lie only applies to brainless girls like Theresa and Case. Well, I can’t say they are stupid, they are just relatively slow in this regard.
Emma had actually guessed it a long time ago.
Compared to the fact that they have done such a big thing, their father is the only one who doesn't know about it.
But Emma very wisely chose to pretend she didn't know.
Because once this tacit understanding is broken, they will have nothing to play with.
What's more, they really want to prove that they can!
So the game continues!
After receiving treatment with a regenerative cradle in Stark Tower, they returned home as if nothing was wrong.
Kai and Ruiwen just pretended not to know.
Everyone has a tacit understanding with each other.
But there was one person they forgot.
That's Bernadette.
This little kid, after returning home, originally forgot about the beautiful girl secret agent team he named himself.
Fortunately, she saw the news.
The matter was so big that it was impossible not to make the news.
Although Bernadette has begun to read, it is still too troublesome to read the subtitles on the news. But she saw the image of the nightingale.
Then she exploded on the spot.
Her sister went out to be a superhero on her own, and ended up leaving such a cute sister in school! Don't play with her at all!
"Bernard, it's not our fault, you have to go to school yourself!"
"I don't care! I don't care! You don't want to play with me! I want to tell Raven's mother and Wayne's father! That you bullied me and did dangerous things behind their backs!
! "
Bernadette had long forgotten her great achievements.
"You are being unreasonable! You insisted on going out with us in the first place, but we fought exhaustingly and you were fast asleep. The worst part was that I carried you on my back all night! You still don't appreciate it. !
! "
Bernadette scratched her round face, looking confused.
"Is this happening?"
Now it was Teresa's turn to explode.
"certainly!
! You're still drooling! My clothes were all stained! "
"No way! I won't drool!
! "
"You're bleeding!"
The two quarreled again.
In short, it doesn't stop for a moment.
In the end, Emma came forward and solved Bernadette.
The next step is to get down to business.
tombstone.
This unlucky guy is currently in a coma. There is nothing he can do about it. Mason doesn't control Tombstone very much at all. He simply uses the sedative as water for Tombstone to drink. He doesn't burp now because he is in good health.
"Please, Emma!"
"Leave it to me."
The next thing is simple.
However, Emma looked down upon the tombstone a little bit.
This guy is a pervert. Emma is too young, and some of the memories of the tombstone are really devastating to Emma.
Fortunately, she got what she wanted.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Emma's frown, Liz asked nervously.
"It's okay...it's just that we seem to be in the wrong direction." Emma shook her head.
"What's wrong?" Case asked.
"Liz's father was not sent by Kingpin," Emma said.
Several people looked at each other.
Keith immediately retorted: "But Adrian's things are in Tombstone's hands."
"That's right. It was indeed Kingpin's intention for Tombstone to receive those things, but those things seemed to have been traded by Kingpin from other people."
Liz asked hurriedly: "Who is it?"
"It's someone called Madam Octopus."
"Who is that?" Keith looked confused. Who would give himself such a bad name?
"I don't know, that person is very mysterious. Tombstone has only met him once, and he didn't know this person at all before." Emma said what she saw in Tombstone's mind: "However, Kingpin told Tombstone But, that woman is a lunatic, so Tombstone shouldn’t mess with her.”
"Why did she kill my dad?" Liz wanted to know why.
"It is said that she is very interested in alien technology."
Emma said.
Liz's face turned even darker.
If you really want to say where in the United States there is the most alien technology, it must be the ‘Disaster Control Bureau’ jointly established by the Stark Group and the government. The reason they were originally founded was naturally due to the Chitauri invasion, and they were responsible for recycling and cracking those Chitauri technology products.
Later, after the monster invasion, they were authorized by the government to control hazardous substances.
Many body tissues of Muto and Godzilla are highly radioactive, which requires a professional team to deal with.
And the United States is a country that likes to outsource troublesome matters. They believe that it is safer and more efficient to leave many things to the market than to the government.
So the Disaster Control Bureau was ordered by the government to become a company controlled by Stark Group and the government. Well, they changed from a temporary government department to a private enterprise. Later, due to some needs, the company's business also began to expand.
Today, the Disaster Control Company is essentially a construction company that specializes in repairing property damage caused by heroes and villains fighting. Of course, companies need to make profits, and it is the U.S. governments at all levels that pay to repair the damage. Sometimes the parties who caused the damage also need to foot the bill.
This is also a way to ease the conflict between the people and superheroes. After all, ordinary people don't care whether your superhero is enforcing justice. They care more about their own vital interests. If the battle of superheroes affects their lives and property, the public may understand once or twice, but if it happens more often, conflicts will inevitably arise.
So the federal government and Kai and others formed this company together.
There is also a distinction between who pays for this. For example, if there is an incident that endangers the city or the federal government, then the federal government and governments at all levels will naturally have to pay for what they have not said. Of course, it would be better if we could communicate with the government in advance.
But everyone knows that this is impossible. So there is a very strict approval process.
The other type is the personal behavior of superheroes.
For example, if you fight against a gang and destroy other people's property, then you have to pay for it yourself.
Of course, this is a bit difficult because the heroes are mostly anonymous and therefore difficult to find. So the government needs to come forward to pay the bill, but fortunately, most Americans have the habit of buying insurance, which is not much more than money.
Another situation is the damage caused by super criminals.
At this point, neither the government nor the superheroes are responsible.
I have no choice but to accept my bad luck.
For example, this time, in order to deal with the damage caused by Pepper and Emma, Kai and Tony generously donated their money. After all, those ninjas really didn't do much damage to the buildings and public relations facilities.
Instead, Pepper and Emma made too much noise.
They caused a lot of damage.
It can also be seen from here that sometimes, to ordinary people, superheroes are not necessarily any better than those villains.
Fortunately, in a society like the West where human life can be measured in money, once the money is given, the matter is over.
Because according to the logic of capitalism, since you accept the compensation afterwards, that means that if you accept the money, it means that things have turned around. According to the principle of double jeopardy, the matter was dismissed.
Therefore, many foreign companies are quite willing to pay compensation and settle the matter if something goes wrong.
Okay, let's get back to the subject. Although it is a private company, because it is controlled by the Federation and Stark, the Disaster Control Bureau has very great power in the field of alien technology. They contain a lot of Chitauri technology.
At least much more than Adrian's small workshop!
But now that octopus lady did not go to the Disaster Control Bureau to cause trouble, but instead killed Adrian...
It’s no wonder this makes Liz feel so good!
