The Skrulls' request is simple. They hope to get a piece of land on Earth. According to them, it is to become a member of the earth family.
Of course, this statement would not be truly believed unless Benjamin was a 250-year-old.
The Skrulls did not intend to use this argument to make one of the most powerful countries in the world give in to them. They showed their 'sincerity'.
An army!
A green army, an army composed entirely of Hulks.
Although the number is small,... this army is a nightmare for any country in the world.
The Skrulls feel that this is their greatest sincerity.
And they feel that their requirements are not harsh, they just need a piece of land.
However, Benjamin refused directly without consulting anyone.
What the hell, is that a matter of land?
They want to build a country!
Building a nation requires people.
Where do people come from?
The Skrulls can't even build a larger town with just a few people, so how can we build a country? Not only do they want a piece of land, but they also want the nations to recognize that everyone on that land belongs to the Skrulls as well.
To put it bluntly, they just use those people as slaves.
After all, if the Skrulls want to gain a foothold on Earth, they can't rely on themselves, right?
The Skrulls were once great. But now, what do they have left? They only have a few warriors and a handful of scientists left.
When you build a country, you have to build cities, right?
What about architects and construction workers?
Well, even if all countries can support this. After all, they are just aiding the engineering team.
But what about city operations?
Those various professions can work together to help.
But do the Skrulls have such a thing?
They don't even have qualified farmers, let alone workers. It's okay to let them use guns to kill, but let them use tools to produce...that would be too difficult for them. They have only a few people left, who can only wander in the universe. Where can they cultivate other professions? Even their so-called scientists are actually repairmen and engineers.
It is precisely because they are miserable.
Nick Fury dared to accept them in the first place.
If the Skrulls were a huge group, no matter how heartless Nick Fury was, he would not dare to accept these people.
It was because he saw that this group of Skrulls had no future, and even if they wanted to threaten humans, it would take n years, so he felt that he could control the Skrulls.
But no one expected that the Skrulls had such big hearts that they stabbed Nick Fury in the back even though they had no hope.
However, it cannot be said that there was anything wrong with the Skrulls' previous plan.
After all, the disgusting abilities of the Skrulls are indeed very suitable for Magpie Nest Jiuzhan. They only need to infiltrate the upper echelons of mankind and then support them with the industrial capabilities of mankind around the world, and their vitality will recover quickly. It's really hard to tell if it will take hundreds or even thousands of years.
Unfortunately, something went wrong.
Their plan was exposed before it even started.
This is also why the Skrulls want to negotiate directly with humans.
In short, these Skrulls have given up their previous plans and plan to coexist peacefully with humans.
They chose to be honest and honest, they needed a piece of land to recuperate, and they did not want to fight with humans.
In their view, this is already a big concession.
They have all chosen peace, and humanity should respond to them.
But Benjamin, no, no leader with any human brain would agree to the Skrulls' conditions.
Let humans be their slaves, let them become human masters, and then slowly regain their strength...fuck! Don't tell me whether this condition is insulting. Just to put it simply, after the Skrulls gain a certain strength, will they erode the living space of mankind?
Americans are very skilled at repaying kindness with hatred.
Didn't the Native Americans welcome the colonists? Where are those indigenous people going now?
They're all staying on the reservation!
how? Want Americans to enjoy this feeling?
"I hope that you and other world leaders will consider our proposal carefully. We do not want war, we just want to stay alive."
These were the final words of the Skrull envoy.
It not only expresses the desire for peace, but also contains hidden threats.
war!
That's their threat.
"Hulk..." Tony looked at the picture sent by Benjamin and felt troubled. In order to deal with the Hulk, he specially developed the Hulk Buster, but for now, this mecha cannot complete such a task.
And the opponent can have hundreds of Hulks!
Even if he can deal with one Hulk, he can't do anything with so many Hulks.
"How on earth did they subdue the Hulk?"
Kai didn't expect that Hulk would also be hit.
After all, considering the level of trouble, even Kai is unwilling to face the furious Hulk. Otherwise, Kai would not have been so kind as to give Banner the Kunlun Heart Sutra so that Banner could control Hulk. How on earth did these Skrulls do it?
When Benjamin heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "You have to ask our former SHIELD director."
Kai and Tony looked at each other.
"Why the hell don't I feel weird at all?" Tony touched his chin and said with a subtle expression.
Whenever something incredibly stupid happens, as long as it involves Nick Fury, then don't hesitate, the cliffhanger is related to that bastard!
"By the way, let me tell you some good news. Nick Fury secretly took Ghidorah's head away." Tony thought of something, and then said to Benjamin.
Benjamin looked confused.
Head?
Ghidorah is dead, and only one head is left...what's the use?
Tony suddenly felt bored when he saw Benjamin's stupid look. He originally planned to appreciate Benjamin's angry expression.
So he could only tell Benjamin about Ghidorah's characteristics.
"So... we can still face Ghidorah?" Benjamin's face turned green.
Now the government's finances have exploded, so many refugees need to be resettled, and cities need to be rebuilt. Even the United States cannot afford it.
In particular, the United States can no longer harvest the whole world!
They have no choice but to pass these costs on to the whole world.
If it had to happen again, Benjamin thought, whoever wants to be this lousy president will be the one to do it!
Anyway, he doesn’t serve anymore.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Benjamin's expression, Tony's mood suddenly improved.
It's not that Tony hates Benjamin, it's just that his bad taste breaks out.
When Benjamin heard Tony say this, he immediately looked at Tony hopefully, hoping that he would make some violent remarks.
"Isn't this natural?"
Benjamin didn't react at first, but he understood it immediately the next second.
Almost choked to death.
Seeing Benjamin in such a mess, Kai kindly came to the rescue.
"Not necessarily. Although Nick Fury is stupid, he shouldn't be that stupid. He can't control Ghidorah. However, you still have to be vigilant. After all... with his resume, he can't do anything wrong. Moth, it’s impossible.”
Benjamin also knows this, but people always take chances.
"I understand...I have ordered SHIELD to find Nick Fury."
"Come on, are you asking SHIELD to find Nick Fury?" Tony laughed as if he heard a joke: "Isn't this asking Nick Fury to catch himself?"
Tony is not familiar with Nick Fury, but he also knows Nick Fury's behavior. With this guy's silver-dollar personality, SHIELD doesn't know how many informants he has! Let SHIELD capture Nick Fury, never even think about it in this life.
Benjamin smiled bitterly and said: "But who should I send now? The Shadow Bureau has been paralyzed. I don't even know who to believe. As for the FBI and CIA, it's even worse. They probably don't even know how many forces they have within themselves. Eyeliner."
Both the FBI and CIA are old intelligence organizations with deep roots. This type of organization is full of factions within itself. Even their internal struggles are more cruel than their external struggles. If nothing else, take the Donkey and Elephant parties as an example. They have their own supporters and opponents within this type of intelligence organization.
Not to mention Nick Fury.
Back when Nick Fury was still the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had already infiltrated these two organizations.
After all, if the FBI\cia knows, Nick Fury must know it. What they don't know, Nick Fury still knows... sending them would be better than forcing S.H.I.E.L.D.
At least S.H.I.E.L.D. has gone through several purge operations, and is relatively clean internally.
Well, Nick Fury's manpower was severely purged while Alexander Pierce was still alive. Then Alexander's background was exposed, and Hill cleaned up again.
On the contrary, the internal situation of the FBI and CIA is too complicated, and no one can launch such a huge purge activity.
Benjamin is really difficult.
"Isn't it? Are we already so weak?"
Tony was really surprised now.
Benjamin glanced at Tony and said helplessly: "Don't you know? We have been cutting the government budget for three consecutive years."
When Benjamin was campaigning, his slogan was to fight for peace, create jobs, and boost the economy.
So in the first year of his election, he introduced a military spending reduction proposal.
And damn it passed.
After all, anti-war was the mainstream in the United States at that time, and after Benjamin experienced the attack on the White House, his popularity and approval rate were surprisingly high, so it was passed.
The results of it?
We had just cut military spending for one year, and the next year we encountered the Los Angeles Incident. This was not the end of the story. In the next year, New York was invaded...and then we encountered the Atlantis Incident, which led to the United States The navy suffered a heavy blow!
There is no way, even if military expenditures are cut, the navy cannot be eliminated.
So the only option was to re-appropriate money.
Then came the MUTO incident.
The Seventh Fleet, one of the only two fleets in the United States, is directly gg.
Funds have to be allocated again.
Military spending cannot be reduced.
We can only make up for it from other aspects, otherwise the deficit will really explode.
So we can only start from government expenditure.
In particular, intelligence agencies are completely useless in the face of so many crises. Gives the government a reason to cut funding. As a result, the intelligence agency suffered a severe winter, and its funding was cut year after year.
No money means no resources.
Naturally, things are not easy to do.
In a capitalist world, you cannot ask others to contribute for free.
Who the hell doesn’t go to work to make money?
In short, the U.S. government has been having a very... difficult time in the past few years.
This also led to the fact that when Benjamin ran for re-election as president, the beauty did not plan to compete with him.
Fight for something. Anyone who gives this mess will be scolded.
Might as well let Benjamin take over.
This is just like Roosevelt during World War II. No one dared to take responsibility and could only allow Roosevelt to continue to be re-elected.
It's better to wait until Benjamin has almost cleaned up the mess before standing up to pick peaches.
After all, Benjamin could only serve four terms at most.
If time goes by, the people will get tired of it. When the time comes, it will not be too difficult to overthrow him by promoting topics such as war and dictatorship.
Therefore, there will be no difficulty for Benjamin in running for the next two or three terms.
The United States is so weak right now.
"Then search slowly and you will find it." Kai also felt troubled by Nick Fury.
It's not like Kai didn't think of finding Nick Fury in various ways.
Unfortunately, it's useless.
This guy has almost maxed out his hiding skills.
Kai even asked the magicians of Karma Taj, hoping that they could help find the grandson.
But he couldn't be found.
According to the Ancient One, Nick Fury probably had some kind of magic that prevented detection, causing the Great Guardian to ignore him.
After all, in the final analysis, the Great Guardian specializes in protecting human beings, targeting those visitors from other worlds.
It is estimated that the immortals themselves have never thought that one day the existence of human beings will be threatened by human beings themselves.
Perhaps Nick Fury started making preparations after learning about the existence of Karma Taj.
He had never trusted Kamal Taj.
"Right now our focus is on the Skrulls."
They were helpless against the Skrulls before, but unexpectedly these idiots jumped out on their own.
Then don’t blame them!
"But we still don't know where they are."
Tony questioned.
"Haha, you underestimate the U.S. government too much."
Kai looked at Benjamin.
Benjamin saw Kai looking at him.
He also laughed.
"Yes, we can locate them."
No matter how weak the US government is.
One thing is for sure.
That is, for now, the US government is still the most powerful organization in the world.
Tony looked at Benjamin, waiting for Benjamin's explanation.
Originally, Benjamin didn't need to explain anything to Tony.
But the original intention of Benjamin’s communication this time was to seek help.
In fact, when the Skrull envoy appeared in front of Benjamin, it meant that they were exposed.
It's not hard to find them.
The hard part is how to deal with that Hulk army!
This is the fundamental reason why Benjamin is looking for Kai.
In order to get help, Benjamin doesn't mind revealing a few government secrets.
“In the past few years, we have been recruiting talents with special abilities.”
In fact, to put it bluntly, they are mutants.
"There are always some people with special abilities who are not suitable for fighting, but are very suitable for other things."
For example, there is a mutant next to Benjamin who can sense danger.
The last time the Skrulls pretended to be Steve and Carter and planned to kidnap the president, it was the mutant who warned them in advance that their plot was destroyed.
Likewise, the government has a mutant that is very good at tracking.
His name is Mole.
He is a native of Falls City, Oregon. He has been engaged in black truffle harvesting for a long time. He and others use hounds and pigs to find black truffles in the ground. However, hounds can find black truffles without the help of other things. .
And this stems from his mutant abilities.
He can track anything he wants, but every time he uses his ability, his nose will become like a star-nosed mole's nose, with a flower-like sensor growing out of his nose.
If society's attitude towards mutants hadn't changed, this mole would probably have lived in isolation for the rest of his life, living by selling black truffles.
Come and try it quickly. 】
