Chapter 162 Eagle Sauce: Counterattack! We Must Fight Back!
Chapter 162 Eagle Sauce: Counterattack! We Must Fight Back!
As the most promising reporter to win the Pulitzer Prize in recent years, Louise's thirst for news is obvious to all.
At the moment, Clark didn't know whether to be grateful that she didn't care about his departure, or to lament that he was not as important as the news in her mind.
However, although Atlantis had withdrawn its troops, there was still some chaos in the area near the battlefield. He was worried that something would happen to Louise, so he hurried towards the coast.
The next day, Louise published an article about the "Atlantis Army Invasion" in the "Daily Planet" and linked this incident to the tsunami incident that occurred in Port Cien on the same day.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar at home and abroad!
At the same time as she published the article, those who witnessed it that day also began to upload the things they took at the time to TikTok, and more video evidence began to support Louise's article.
At the same time, Dr. Shen, who has deep faith in the Atlantis civilization, also began to appear frequently on television media to promote the existence of the Sea Tribe and the threat this race may pose to mankind.
After experiencing the invasion of the Atlantis army, the people began to believe what he said and had a fearful and hostile attitude towards the civilization of Atlantis.
Some radicals even clamored that these fish guys should be given some color!
But at the same time, another voice began to sound in public opinion, and the power of this voice was very specific.
They are a marine animal protection and environmental protection organization.
They claimed that it was precisely because humans destroyed the earth's environment day after day and harmed the marine environment that the Atlantis hated them.
What humans should do most is not to find the person who takes the blame, nor to hate the people under the sea.
Instead, you should self-examine and repent of what you have done. It is best to take the initiative to find the Atlanteans for peace talks and actively find a way to peace...
As soon as this statement came out, public opinion exploded.
Then the internet began to divide the camps into battles.
Those who agreed that a strong counterattack must be given to the Atlanteans and those who hoped to promote peace talks began a war of words on the Internet.
Here they say that the opponent's knees are so weak that even the aggressor can kneel down and lick them. It's so shameless!
They say that these barbarians only know how to fight and kill. When someone invades, our official army has almost no effect. How about beating them on the head?
It is said here that they have a firm will, and there is also the Justice League, so it is no problem to build a small underwater kingdom.
They say that they themselves are uncivilized, but they still want to instruct the Justice League to be executioners. It is simply ridiculous. If you have the ability to carry a gun yourself!
Dane liked this comment.
Just when the discussion on the Internet was in full swing, the military took the opportunity to stand up and claim that the military of the United States has the ability and confidence to protect the people.
But it attracted a lot of criticism!
On Kuaishou videos, people have once again seen the incompetence of the US military. Their fighter jets couldn't even get close to the Atlantis army before being killed with precise hits.
The army troops were even late for the whole journey and they got lost somewhere?
If it weren't for Superman's appearance, the army would have suffered heavy casualties!
Therefore, what they most want to see is a statement from the Justice League. As those who have experienced it, they should know the truth best.
Dane also saw the boiling public opinion, and promptly asked Cortana to sort out the copy and related videos, and selectively publish the events on the Internet.
Today, Pioneer Technology has basically dominated online media channels.
Most of the news and social media software you see on the Internet have pioneers behind them.
Therefore, when all online media reported the events that occurred in Cien Port and Metropolis in a unified manner, the public easily accepted the setting that there is civilization under the sea.
We have all seen aliens in recent years, and it is not unusual for them to be in Haiquhai.
But Dane also had more secret information. He also exposed the incident of the Navy's loss of a submarine in the Mariana Trench on the Internet, which once again triggered an earthquake in public opinion.
The military's ability has once again been seriously questioned.
If the military cannot protect themselves, how can they ensure their ability to protect the people?
The enemy's base camp is at the bottom of the sea. If the military's submarines cannot attack the enemy's homeland, how can the military deter the enemy and organize a counterattack?
In military terms, being able to attack the enemy's homeland is a very important military ability.
You don't have to use it, but you can't live without it.
Because it does not mean that your ability to deter the enemy is greatly reduced, but the enemy can advance, attack, retreat or defend, giving you more room for tactical choices and strategic maneuvers.
Because of the release of this news, the reputation of the military, especially the navy, began to plummet, and this public opinion even affected Congress's funding of the military.
Inside the Pentagon, the admiral who originally sought General Lois's help was cursing in the conference room.
"Damn it! Damn Pioneer Technology! How did they know this secret!"
There were other military bosses sitting there, and their faces were also very ugly, especially the generals of the Air Force, whose faces were as dark as those of admirals.
His fighter unit had no output during the Atlantis invasion, almost just circling the battlefield in a circle and then exiting the battlefield.
There was no way, the Atlanteans' naval guns were too far and too accurate. If they didn't stay away, those fighter planes would have been wiped out long ago!
"We must fight back! Prove to the people that the military still has the power to protect its citizens!"
"We must also prove to the world that the U.S. military is still the most powerful military in the world!"
"But, we don't even know where the enemy's lair is." Someone questioned.
But the admiral showed a smile and said calmly: "In fact, I have found the location of those fish guys.
He learned this secret through General Lois' intelligence, but he would not tell anyone about it.
Everyone present looked at each other, and then someone asked him: "Even if you know their location, how do you plan to attack their homeland?"
At this time, someone whispered: "They are creatures living in the ocean. In fact, they only need one nuclear..."
Then the old man saw everyone looking at him like a fool.
After the Beach City incident, Washington's review of the use of nuclear weapons became more stringent.
Detonating something like this in the sea will definitely arouse strong opposition from environmental groups and marine animal protection organizations. Don’t even think about it!
The admiral shook his head: "We don't need to make such a big show of things. In fact, I have a better way.
"We all know that these fish guys live in the ocean. Seawater is a medium that can spread some toxic substances more easily than air..."
He did not continue, but everyone present understood what he meant. This idea was really sinister, but it sounded very feasible.
Swanwick's expression changed slightly [He did not expect that this respected old general would actually propose such a move.
To put it bluntly, those who use bacterial weapons or chemical weapons are already committing crimes against humanity.
But what he didn't expect was that most of the generals present would acquiesce or even agree with this idea.
There are even people helping the Admiral refine his plan.
"It is best not to involve people from the military directly in this matter, and we cannot give any organization an excuse."
It’s okay if they know this kind of thing internally, and they must not let the public know about it, especially Pioneer Technology!
Letting the inside know is for the sake of the leaders of the Security Council, and let them see that the military still has capabilities, so that they will feel more comfortable when they allocate funds.
In the past year, the funding received by the military has been so low that many people cannot accept it. Even the top soldiers under it are not working hard.
In the United States, most of the soldiers who are willing to join the army come for the high subsidies and high welfare benefits of the military, and have little to do with the belief in protecting the homeland and the country.
Maybe some new recruits may still do this, but most of the elite veterans only care about money and have no money to do anything!
With less funding from Congress, these big-head soldiers will definitely get less.
You will definitely have a lot of money, General.
The first thing after allocating funds is to divide the spoils among the gentlemen, and the remaining part is divided among the various administrative departments. Finally, the remaining money is the money of the big-headed soldiers.
Now even the profit sharing of various departments is not even distributed, how can the big-headed soldiers still get the money?
So now many elite troops are basically in a semi-standstill state. Before money comes, they are the worst soldiers.
When the general proposed this matter just now, he actually had a subtle reminder that they could no longer command the truly elite troops, "You have to think of a way on your own!
The admiral definitely understood what he meant, and he promised: "Don't worry, everyone, I have already prepared a plan for this matter, and I will never use any power from the military!"
After hearing that they did not need to pay, the gentlemen sat back in their seats with satisfaction and unanimously agreed to the admiral's plan.
Swanwick watched all this with cold eyes. Although he could sit in the Pentagon, his position was not high enough to be on an equal footing with these military bosses.
And even if he opposed it, he would do so in a low voice and with little power. As for using mind control?
This is not a panacea. Is it possible that he wants to control these people for the rest of his life?
If he really wanted to do that, Batman would deal with him as a villain immediately.
So Swanwick did nothing, he planned to report today's matter to the Justice League. .
