White House. read

Benjamin looked at the cabinet staff arguing and evading each other, with a very calm face. He even made himself a cup of coffee, then turned and looked out the window.

Ah...life...is really fucked!

Want to resign.

What will you do after retirement? To publish a book? Well, good idea.

Benjamin Scheer has become very Buddhist, his tenure has been too troubled, and there is nothing to excite him now. There are myths and stories, there are aliens, what else will appear, is it not a matter of course?

Soon Nick Fury walked in and everyone looked at him. Except for the president.

The president was still looking out the window.

Others also took note of the president's performance.

"Mr. President." The staff called softly.

"Oh? Are you done arguing?" Benjamin turned around and looked at everyone. As for Nick Fury, he didn't even want to take another look. This president is very dissatisfied with SHIELD, very dissatisfied! Once again, S.H.I.E.L.D. did nothing. No warning, no report, no explanation.

Benjamin doesn't even know what position SHIELD is in the American system.

Just tell me, what is the purpose of SHIELD?

Nick Fury's face is not good-looking. The reason why he appears here is naturally not to make the president look bad on him. His original plan was to appear in the White House as a savior and convince the president.

Yes, that's what Nick really thinks. At a time like this, SHIELD should use its power.

But alas, the President seems to be even more dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Everyone is really confused about the president's statement.

"You have been arguing for a long time. What are you arguing about?"

"We are...discussing whether to launch a diplomatic assault or declare war." The female defense minister said a little awkwardly.

The current White House cabinet is divided into two factions. One faction prefers diplomatic means, and this faction is headed by the Secretary of State. By the way, the Secretary of State is a left-wing politician who has always been interested in topics such as environmental protection. He is also the main promoter of issues such as new energy, energy conservation and emission reduction in the United States. In addition, the Secretary of State is in charge of diplomacy, so he The anger towards the Atlanteans is understandable, and they believe that they can achieve their goals through diplomatic means such as negotiations with Atlantis.

Atlantis is angry at them for polluting the ocean, so they can give in.

This in itself is a topic of concern to many people.

A group of people headed by the Minister of Defense believed that the war had already begun, and they were still talking about it! Start fighting directly!

If the navy is gone, will they admit defeat?

They also have nuclear warheads!

It’s impossible to admit defeat!

"Oh, did you get the result of your quarrel?" President Benjamin suddenly felt a sense of detachment at this time.

How can you, a bunch of idiots, do good politics with you, a bunch of insects!

Then, without waiting for them to speak, he said: "You said you want diplomacy, okay, tell me first, how to do it? Which of you will go diving in the deep sea?"

Just kidding, if the Atlanteans were in the shallow sea, they wouldn't have been discovered just now.

Deep sea... Haha, the diving depth of mankind's most advanced submarines is only that deep.

in addition……

"Also, do any of you know where Atlantis is?"

A group of people looked at each other.

Then President Benjamin looked at the female Secretary of Defense: "You too, in a war, you have to know where the enemy is, right? Or do you plan to use fishing nets to catch them?"

The group of people looked at each other again.

The female Minister of Defense immediately said: "We can wait for them to come to land and then use..."

Benjamin looked at her helplessly.

That look was like looking at an idiot.

"Do others need to come to land? Others only need to prevent us from even one ship entering the sea, and our economy will completely collapse!"

The United States has been screwed by its capitalists. Deindustrialization may seem wonderful, but it is actually cutting off its own blood. Except for a few heavy industries in the United States, all other industries have relocated. Do you know why the military-industrial complex is so awesome?

Do you think it’s just because the military-industrial complex has money?

Of course this is one aspect, but the real reason is because military industrial enterprises are not allowed to relocate abroad! This means that military-industrial enterprises represent a large number of jobs! All industries in the United States are deteriorating. The once proud automobile industry has declined, various light industries have disappeared, and many low-end industrial products also need to be imported. Only the military industry is booming. Politicians may be able to ignore the monetary lobbying of those military industry companies, but they cannot refuse votes.

Here, whoever can bring more jobs and reduce unemployment will get votes.

Without these, there are no votes.

In this case, who would not give dignity to the military-industrial complex?

After all, someone else got the point. This is also the reason why the military-industrial complex has an increasing influence on American politics after World War II.

Deindustrialization has led to the need to import light industry and low-end industrial products in the United States!

Without these cheap goods, the cost of living for Americans will increase rapidly. Coupled with problems in shipping, this will inevitably lead to large-scale business closures or layoffs, and an increase in unemployment.

The cost of living is rising and unemployment is rising.

Naturally leads to various social problems!

The key is that the American political system has no good solution, because the government cannot interfere with the market!

This is fatal.

If the economy is ruined, social unrest will follow.

And then... nothing more.

There is no perfect society in this world. The US government is also full of various contradictions, racial contradictions, and contradictions between the rich and the poor. These can be covered up naturally when the economy is good, but once the economy has problems, even if there are no contradictions, they will become big contradictions. Moreover, the United States is definitely not without contradictions. On the contrary, the contradictions are big!

Seeing that his staff members were silent, Benjamin shook his head.

Do these people really not understand this?

No!

They understand very well!

But they don’t know what to do at all, so they quarrel. They can’t make themselves look helpless.

A bad idea is also an idea.

“Okay, let’s listen to what our rare guest has to say. Nick Fury.”

Benjamin was too lazy to say anything, but said directly to Nick Fury: “See what our SHIELD is hiding from us.”

Nick Fury’s heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he had made an extremely low-level mistake.

He still handled the matter according to SHIELD’s way of doing things.

What is SHIELD’s style?

Of course it is mysticism!

In other words, he didn’t notify the White House and Congress at all.

It was nothing before, but now...

"We..."

"I don't intend to listen to your excuses, tell me what I care about!" Benjamin was very impatient.

Nick opened his mouth and finally told everyone present what he knew.

This thing can't be hidden.

"Ha!" The president laughed: "I, the President of the United States. There was an Atlantean invasion on my land, and I didn't even know about it! The news I got was that it was a tsunami! I just issued a moment of silence yesterday... Now you tell me that your SHIELD knew that the Atlanteans were going to invade, but you didn't say it! And then you watched those attacks happen... Fuck!"

The president cursed.

Nick Fury immediately added: "The reason why we chose to handle it in secret is to prevent the situation from escalating and causing unnecessary panic.

"See, this is our SHIELD! "The president looked at the two party whips and the officials who had lobbied the president not to severely punish SHIELD.

But he didn't say anything, instead he looked at Nick Fury.

"So, should I thank SHIELD for doing me such a big favor?"

Nick shut up.

"Now I don't want to pursue responsibility anymore, tell me, what are you going to do!"

Nick Fury hesitated for a while before he told the plan of Mela and others.

The president didn't want to talk.

He instinctively resisted this plan... Put the safety of billions of people on a brutal duel?

Fuck!

"Tell me, where is Kai?" The president was too lazy to say anything, he decided to lie down. Anyway, the previous major events were solved by superheroes, and he was too lazy to make trouble this time, so he just did it again.

Nick Fury immediately understood what the president meant: "Mr. President, please believe in our SHIELD, we can..."

"You can't do shit! Tell me, Director Fury! What did you SHIELD do? ! ! My country spent so much money! But what did you SHIELD do? ! ! In the Battle of Los Angeles, you did nothing! In the Battle of New York, you dropped a nuclear bomb on the mainland! Now... you tell me you can solve it? Maybe those superheroes can't solve it, but damn, they don't have to spend money! Others do it for free! ! ! "

The people present finally understood what the president meant.

He is going to pass the buck!

Although this time it was really a natural disaster and man-made disaster, and it has nothing to do with the president and the government. But the problem is that the people don't care about these. They need to vent.

The president doesn't want to step down in disgrace, so he has to set a target!

A scapegoat!

So...

Nick Fury also understood.

Damn, they were originally planning to be saviors, but they turned into scapegoats in a blink of an eye!

"Mr. President, please give me some time, we can solve this matter!" Self-help must be self-help!

"How to solve it?" Benjamin said coldly.

"We have channels to contact Atlantis! "

The president raised his eyebrows.

He got angry again. Damn, there is something hidden from me!

But thinking of the urgency of the matter, he suppressed his anger: "How long?"

"Three days!"

Nick Fury wanted to delay a little longer, but is there any way?

He was just making up stories!

Where did he get the channels?

He just hoped that Arthur would succeed. Then he could just fool around.

Of course, he still had a trump card, but he didn't know if it would be too late.

Just now, he pressed an old-fashioned pager.

At the same time, on the other side of the universe, a woman flying in the universe suddenly received the message, then turned around and flew towards the earth.

"I'll give you three days! "

…

"The Sea in the Center of the Earth…" Kai finally learned the name of this world in the center of the earth from Atlanna. From the naming rules, it can be seen that this is the name given by the Atlanteans. At the same time, Kai also learned how Atlanna got in. She was sacrificed to the Trench Clan, but the Trench Clan did not kill her. Instead, she was thrown into a bottomless hole in the seabed. Then, she came here after a period of uncontrolled distortion.

"What is going on here?"

Atlana was a little embarrassed: "I don't know. I only move around the sea. It's too dangerous here. There are all kinds of monsters on the land. And in the sea... there are Karasen."

Otherwise, Atlana is unlucky.

Not to mention the land, it is indeed very dangerous. Even if you don't see a creature as big as a flying snake, you are in danger of being hunted, not to mention Atlana is alone. What's more unfortunate is that she can't move freely in the sea.

Because this sea area is Karasen's territory! Because of the existence of this giant beast, this sea area is relatively safe. Outside here, there are all kinds of monsters everywhere. Atlana tried to break out several times, but... she almost didn't make it several times.

So she was trapped here.

"Karasen?" Kai tilted his head, as if he had heard this name somewhere.

Soon Kai remembered: "Kraken?"

Basically every civilization has sea monster legends, just different, but Kai knows that some are true. For example, Karasen.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a giant sea monster that was said to be 10,000 meters long was everywhere endangering humans and attacking cities near the sea.

In the mythological era, the sea god Poseidon conquered this monster and killed it. And used its body to build a continent.

It was Atlantis.

Afterwards, countless sea monsters were born from the flesh and blood of this monster.

Later, the king of Atlantis used the trident, a divine artifact given by Poseidon, to subdue the largest sea monster, Karasen. And bound it in the deep sea and imprisoned it forever. It was not allowed to destroy Poseidon's kingdom.

And Karasen's other title is the Kraken.

In fact, Kai had never seen this monster.

"This thing actually exists?"

"Yes. Not only does it exist, it also occupied the treasure of Atlantis - the Neptune Trident!"

It turned out that there was an Atlantis ruins under this sea area, and it is no longer known when the ruins were built. But according to the information Atlanna has collected from the ruins over the years, the last Atlantis emperor is sleeping in the ruins with the Neptune Trident.

Atlanna naturally wanted to get the artifact trident, because she also learned from the ruins that if she wanted to leave the Earth's Center Sea, she must get the Neptune Trident!

Unfortunately, Karasen stopped her.

"You said... Can I get that trident?"

Kai felt that there was a way. He was very familiar with Poseidon.

But Atlanna shook her head with a wry smile: "The Neptune Trident will only recognize the blood of the King of Atlantis. This is the artifact given to us by Poseidon."

"It's not that simple. After I get it, I can give it to you, right?"

"It's not that simple." Atlanna said, she took Kai into the cave and came to the pool at the deepest part of the cave. "This is the entrance to the place where the former king is sleeping. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
