"Don't fall into the trap, everyone, the people under the sea want to divide us!"
At the League of Nations conference, the horse gang leaders spoke harshly and made loud appeals.
"What divides us is not the Undersea People, but the Justice League. Superman made it very clear that he hopes we can learn from a certain country, or that he actually agrees with the Undersea People's 'Ocean Purification and Protection Plan'."
The British Prime Minister looked haggard. This time London was flooded with excrement and garbage again. The economic losses caused made him regretful: The Chinese people worked hard to achieve a 125% target, but the manpower and material resources they spent were not as good as cleaning up London. Half... Calculating carefully, their British Empire's persistence is not worth it.
"How about we also invite some experts from the East to work hard to clean up ocean pollution next month?" the French president suggested hesitantly.
The horse gang leader frowned and said: "If we follow our example, those superheroes will think they have succeeded, become more determined, and instead of dealing with the undersea people, they will oppress us.
In fact, because South Korea and Germany learned from China and were exempted from the invasion of the garbage wave, the situation has been extremely unfavorable to us.
The superheroes of the Justice League are probably having a celebration party now. "
"Then let's simply compromise and follow the 'Om Ocean Cleanup Plan' honestly. The harm caused by the wave of garbage is too great. Not to mention the direct economic losses in Sydney, house prices have dropped by 70%! The subprime mortgage crisis is about to break out again. ." The Australian representative said helplessly.
The horse gang leader looked around at everyone and asked: "Even if we are willing to compromise, ask yourselves, can we achieve Aum's goal?
To be honest, the United States can't do it.
It’s not that I lack strength, but if I do that, a series of problems will arise that will force me to step down immediately.
I'm not afraid of being impeached, but the problem is that my successor won't be able to do a good job either. . "
"At least it can last for a few months." The German representative sighed.
"How many months from now?" asked the caravan leader.
The German representative turned his attention to the representative of a certain country who was watching, "I think Germany can last longer than a certain country because we have a short coastline.
I don't believe that in the current era of global economic integration, a certain country can continue to carry on.
In fact, a certain country's completion target last month was much lower than the previous month.
Hum hum, wait until a certain country can no longer hold on, let's see what Superman can do to frustrate us. "
The representative of a certain country twitched his face a few times but said nothing.
The Swedish representative smiled, "We have always been environmentally friendly, and the country does not have heavy industry. The sewage brought up from the sea seems to be cleaner than the river water in some countries."
He glanced at the Indian representative and said, "Sweden will definitely last longer than Germany."
The Russian representative glanced at him and smiled proudly, "We are almost unaffected!"
"We are not affected at all." The Hungarian representative shrank his neck and whispered.
A representative from a certain country could not sit still.
The coastline is too long, and it is a developing country that has not yet de-industrialized...
"Everyone, we can't continue like this." He coughed a few times and reminded: "The people under the sea now only ask for the protection of the marine ecological environment, but when we can no longer hold on and surrender, will they make other demands?
Moreover, in today's era of economic integration, no country can survive alone.
For example, Sweden has a good environment and does not have heavy industry, but you need industrial products to live a prosperous and happy life, right?
Now that prices in your country have nearly tripled, how can you still hold on? "
"You still have the nerve to say, weren't you the ones who rolled it up first?" the French representative said with resentment.
The caravan leader gloated and asked, "You really can't bear it anymore? How long can you hold on?"
"We don't need to persist to the end, we don't need to be stronger than all countries, as long as it lasts longer than the United States." A representative from a certain country said calmly.
The caravan leader's face darkened and he said in a low voice: "We can't sit still and wait for death."
"What's the plan of the United States?" asked a representative of a certain country.
"My staff suggested that if there is another wave of pollution next month, let the superheroes who obey the government to stop it. I hope that all countries can cooperate."
The horse gang leader glanced at everyone with blazing eyes, and said slowly: "Dozens or hundreds of heroes go out together, even if they can't win, and create such a big momentum, are the Justice League just watching the show?"
Take the initiative to start a war and get the Justice League involved.
The representatives were not stupid and immediately understood what he meant. They also felt that this plan was very feasible.
"It's a pity that we don't have superheroes in the East." A representative from a certain country shook his head.
"Nonsense, you have such a large population, how come you don't have superheroes?" the British representative said angrily.
A representative from a certain country took out his Huawei phone and clicked on the puppy video superhero forum, "Look, which hero in the hero forum is from China?"
...
After the meeting, the leader of the Ma gang returned to the White House and told the results to his staff and the Pentagon generals.
“The United Kingdom, Australia, Neon, Canada and other countries have agreed to allow government-controlled heroes to cooperate, but a certain country in the East has no superheroes, so we can only act with a few of us.
The worst outcome is that our heroes can no longer let the tide of filth hit Washington and the White House. "
General Minos hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. President, you have been deceived by the Orientals."
"How to say?"
"The military once hired superpowers to sneak into a certain country in the East, but most of them never came back." The general sighed.
"Who did it?" the horse gang leader asked in surprise.
"I don't know, but he must be an extraordinary person."
"But I didn't see a superhero from a certain country on the puppy video." The horse gang leader said puzzled.
"I guess that people in the East are not used to being superheroes, and superheroes are secretly recruited by the government."
"Orientals are so weird. With superpowers, they should show themselves to the public. Yet they remain silent and secretly work for the government." The horse gang leader was surprised and envious at the same time.
He also has the 'Presidential Guard' headed by Captain Atom, but they are all superheroes.
Protecting the president and serving the government are just hobbies.
He couldn't just order them around.
...
Another month soon passed, and the time came to the end of 2015. On Thanksgiving Day, the third wave of pollution was scheduled and targeted, sweeping into cities that failed to complete the pollution cleanup targets for that month.
This time mankind finally responded. Captain Atom led Metal Man, Metal Ranger, Miss America, the Statue of Liberty and other heroes to rush into the rolling tide of pollution outside the metropolis.
Captain Adam, Captain of the Atom, served as Harley's little brother during the Krypton invasion, and was later mutated in military experiments.
Metal Cyborg was originally a super villain, a cyborg with kryptonite as energy source in his chest, who was recruited by the government.
Metal Team comes from scientific experiments funded by the military, pure metal bionic nanorobots.
Miss America is a member of the freedom fighters led by Uncle Sam. Just by her name, you can tell why she is in the team.
The Statue of Liberty, Harley's divine servant, knew her choice just by hearing her name.
This team is not as strong as Zhenglian, but it is more loyal to the government.
50 kilometers away from the coast, they clashed with the undersea people...
Captain Atom ordered the underwater people to stop flooding the city with dirty water. The underwater people told them to get lost and started fighting if they disagreed.
In the end, Captain Atom lost contact, two members of Team Metal were killed, and Miss America and Lady Liberty were injured and fled back to the White House.
The U.S. government's super team suffered heavy losses, and countries that cooperated with the operation, such as the United Kingdom, Neon, and Australia, also suffered losses.
However, most of the dung tide that hit the capitals of various countries that day was dispersed in the extraordinary battle.
...
In the evening of that day, Cien Harbor, the coast in front of the Kure Lighthouse.
Bateman stood like a stone sculpture on a small wooden pier only two meters wide, his cloak rustling in the cold winter wind.
"Baitman? I didn't expect you to find me here."
Arthur shook his wet hair and stepped ashore from the sea.
"Let's go in and have a drink." He invited warmly.
Bateman stood there without moving, sighing softly: "Arthur, the time has come."
Aquaman paused, looked up at the sunset, and said in a hoarse voice: "I really don't want to take Orm's throne. I'm not familiar with Atlantis, and it's a strange place to me.
I am very satisfied with my current life.
Moreover, Orm is my biological brother after all, and his throne was not snatched from my hands. "
"Where did you go just now?" Bateman asked.
Aquaman asked in confusion: "What?"
"It's winter now and the water is cold, but I see spring in your eyes." Bateman said.
Aquaman blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "Isn't the topic going too far?"
Bateman said calmly: "Since Crisis on Infinite Earths, your relationship with Princess Mela of Zebel has become increasingly close. You must have gone to see her just now, or she must have come to see you.
But did you know that she is the fiancée of the King of Atlantis? "
Aquaman was stunned and said, "Meila and I have a free love."
"Your parents also have free love. In our world, personal will is above all else, but in Atlantis, free love doesn't work.
But if you become the King of Atlantis, all difficulties will be solved. "Baitman said.
"Battman, I don't like what you said very much." Aquaman's thick eyebrows frowned into a serious expression, "I will not hurt Orm for my personal desires."
"Sorry, let me put it another way." Bateman's expression remained unchanged, his eyes and tone remained unchanged, "Arthur, have you ever thought that your appearance was an arrangement of fate?
You can see with your own eyes the relationship between people under the sea and people on land.
In order to survive and develop, the contradictions between the two sides have become difficult to reconcile. If there are more ambitious, sinister and vicious kings..."
Seeing Arthur's face turn ugly, Bateman sighed, "I'm not slandering your brother, I can make a bet with you.
You go to Atlantis to meet him and use your own methods to make him tell you the truth - whether there is a big killer weapon against the land people.
The kind of weapon that can wipe out tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people with one move.
If so, prove what I said is right.
If not, it's up to you.
Just pretend that I have never communicated with you in private about the 'True King of Atlantis' plan. "
Aquaman's expression changed, and he said: "I talked to Orm during the last negotiation.
I swore to him that I would never threaten his rule, and promised never to set foot within the realm of Atlantis, and he would no longer send assassins to harass me and my father. "
Batman said: "You are not meeting him as the illegitimate son of Atlantis, you are the representative of the true alliance, for the heroes who fell.
It's even possible to notify the Atlantean Guards at the border and call Orm out of the territory. "
"Captain Atom was captured, is it serious?" Aquaman asked hesitantly.
Batman nodded slightly, "It's very serious. He has a military position, but he was captured in his own country's territorial waters. The reaction of the government and the people can be imagined.
As we all know, this crisis in Atlantis is the responsibility of Zhenglian and other heroes. We must make demands to Orm no matter what.
But Orm is not stupid. He dares to stir up a wave of filth, dares to kill, kills and injures several heroes without any scruples, and even captures Captain Atom. He must be ready for a full-scale war with us.
Alas, I told you these words before, and you agreed... When the 'sign' appears, go to Atlantis and apply to Orm for the 'King's Duel'. "
"The sign...the sign that the sea and land war may lead to the destruction of the world has really appeared?" Aquaman murmured.
Batman affirmed: "If you don't believe me, just ask Orm. With his pride, he will definitely tell you the truth."
"Okay, I'll go."
Some readers are wondering, with DC’s current technology and current plot, is ocean pollution still a problem?
The real reason will be written from the perspective of the US government.
In fact, we ourselves should also be able to think that with the current technology in 2022, humans on earth should not be hungry, frozen, or troubled by environmental problems.
According to the insights of elites from all over the world in 2022, countries should not continue to argue about climate and environmental protection issues - even ordinary people like us can see how bad the climate has become in recent years.
When we were children, we had spring and autumn, are we there now?
I have personal experience. I bought a leather jacket and a pair of denim jackets last year as autumn clothes, but it was so hot yesterday that I wore a T-shirt and a thin down jacket the next day...
Autumn clothes are almost useless.
But have we humans solved the problems of hunger, climate, environmental protection, and sanitation?
No.
Being able to solve it does not mean that it will be solved. Just like every student with a normal IQ, as long as he studies hard, it is not difficult to get into a suitable university, but there are too many reasons that prevent him from doing so.
Some time ago, Musk said, "We are originally from the same roots, so why rush?" What's the reason?
Isn’t it because someone forced him to provide food for tens or hundreds of millions of hungry refugees?
Many times, what appears to be a technological issue is actually a political issue.
For example, ocean pollution can be solved with alien technology.
The problem is that pollution is linked to industrial production and residents’ lives.
If the whole world adopts the same technology and achieves the same productivity, the United States will no longer have technological advantages and will be no different from Africa and Asia. Are they willing?
