Chapter 62 Struggle Within the Rules
Inside the White House, Clark, who has become president, is also arguing with several generals in the military. The content of the arguing is naturally about how the mechanical superman who successfully cleaned up under the duo of Leticia Luthor and the mechanical superman handled this matter not long ago, and the arguing lasted for three days.
"Gentlemen, how many times do I need to emphasize! Don't easily try the existence of control that we still can't understand, especially now that we are in a high position, and every decision is related to the lives and property of millions of people!"
At the meeting, Clark, who was the top military officer, also accused the military generals of playing with fire. Because they really wanted to agree to the mechanical superman, Leticia's conditions. It is to let the mechanical superman appear as the superman image of the military. During the period as a military superman, the mechanical superman has the right to move freely, but he cannot leave the earth or his country. He needs to report to the military when he leaves the country. Secondly, he needs to Spend a day in the military's science and technology department for the military's scientific and technological personnel to conduct research on Apocalypse technology.
Clark totally disagreed with this approach of the military. The technology of Apocalypse is just like the technology of its own parent star. It cannot be understood by the current earth. It can understand a part of the surface, but it is not the time to go deep into those things. Ironically, as the nominal supreme military commander, Clark's proposal was not accepted by these generals at all, because behind these generals, there were also the support of other congressmen, those congressmen with money, strength and connections.
"Mr. President, I understand your concerns, but you should also be clear that the current United States lacks enough power to deter the world on the surface. You are no longer a superman, and the country on the other side of the ocean, their extraordinary power They are not inferior to us, especially they have a longer history than us, the largest population in the world, and the huge population base gives them the soil to produce superhumans, not to mention that they already have a Chinese superman, a superhuman Lost to your Chinese Superman!"
"We have it too! My son, he inherited my blood, inherited my genes, and even in some respects, he is stronger than me."
"Yes, but your son is only 12 years old this year, which is still a biological age. As far as I know, if he follows the normal time, he is only three years old now. A child whose physical and mental age are not directly proportional, How to fight an adult Chinese superman? And you also said that whether your son will become a superman in the future depends on his own performance. Before that, we also need a superman, one who can compete with the Chinese superman A superman against all odds."
"So why do we continue to maintain this idea of treating each other as imaginary enemies? The times have changed, General Helen, in this era when extraterrestrial civilizations visit the earth from time to time, if we still play this boring nest fight, then we will never Unable to step into the starry sky and start the next era!"
"Pay attention to your words, Mr. President! This is not fighting, this is just to determine and maintain the status of our country. Even if we want to step into the stars and start the next era, we must be the leader. Don't forget how our country rose Yes, Mr. President! The future you have planned is very good, but don’t forget, Mr. President, even if you can be re-elected, you can’t exceed three terms. Twelve years are enough for too many things to happen. What I need to see is Now!"
Regarding Clark's rhetorical question, General Helen, as the military representative, was also there to express his own point of view. He didn't deny Clark's ability to govern during his presidency. After all, he was once a superman, even if he was no longer a superman, he would be no worse than ordinary people in terms of intelligence, vision and skills. But Clark has one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, his foundation is too shallow, and it can even be ignored.
If Clark is still Superman at this time, then he will definitely fully support Clark's decision on Mechanical Superman, because the weight of the word Superman is more real than any guarantee. So what if the foundation is shallow, in the face of absolute power,
All conspiracies and tricks are the younger brother, but Clark is no longer a superman. Suppose there is a battle between countries in the future, and the other party has a powerful combat power comparable to superman. What do they have here?
Antimatter weapons? Don't be funny, it's still unknown whether anti-matter weapons can harm Superman. Instead of pinning their hopes on this, it's better to have another Superman on their side. And the age of little Jonathan made them unable to have confidence in this, so this mechanical superman who returned from the Apocalypse, absorbed the technology of the Apocalypse, and has a human identity is the best choice.
Under such disputes, the final result of this meeting is naturally that the minority obeys the majority. The mechanical superman will officially become the superman of the military this afternoon, and he has the right to move freely within his own country. After the decision was made, all the generals of the military also left the table, leaving only Clark sitting there worrying, but opposite Clark, there was another general who did not leave. His name was Sam Ryan.
Of course, he has another identity, which is Clark's father-in-law and Louise Lane's father.
"The way you are now is not as good as when you were speaking in the Capitol." Seeing Clark's headache and helplessness at this time, General Sam also joked there.
"If you want to laugh, just laugh, Sam, I admit that I am really ashamed like this, but how could they have such an idea. Can things from Apocalypse be trusted? So many experimental accidents, have they forgotten the lesson?"
"Isn't there a saying that is good, the lesson learned by human beings from history is that they can never learn the lesson. It's not that they don't know the danger. Of course, I don't rule out that some people were bought by Leticia, but just like Helen As the general said, he is a soldier, and as a soldier, he will never pin his hopes on an imaginary enemy, even if this imaginary enemy does not exist."
"Other countries are imaginary enemies, isn't it the Apocalypse? The Apocalypse is a well-known enemy, and it has always been targeting the earth."
"Yes, the Apocalypse is the enemy, but the Apocalypse is far away in the sky, and the mechanical superman is close in sight. They can't fight the entire Apocalypse, but a mechanical superman, they still have ideas. Boy, believe me, you are a Good hero, good man, good president, but in terms of politics, you can't be called a good politician, a good statesman."
He stepped forward and patted Clark on the shoulder before General Sam left. And Clark is also sitting in the office, thinking about what General Sam said just now. The end of today's meeting means that the whitewashing of the mechanical superman is inevitable. Leticia and the mechanical superman put everything on the bright side and follow them Game, if Clark insists on arresting Mechanical Superman and Leticia now, the backlash will be even greater, and it will be impossible to deal with it.
The identity of a superhero and the identity of a president have become the shackles that limit their actions. But there was a reason why General Sam left him to talk to him. They could restrict themselves under the rules. Similarly, he could play against them under the rules. Therefore, he had to find the key to breaking the game. Thinking carefully about General Sam's last sentence, Clark also seemed to understand something, and shouted directly.
"Amanda, prepare a car for me, I'm going to Metropolis!"
Nasino City, Planetary Detective Agency, since visiting Constantine and Lucifer died without a medical condition, Ke Wen locked himself in the office and began to sort out all the current situation. The mechanical superman is on the one hand, on the other hand, there are also major events happening in the magic world that he doesn't know, but his biggest problem now is that he doesn't know what happened in the magic world, no one told him what happened, Kang A few words from Standing could not help him.
Not only the problems in the magic world, but also the recent discovery of the mechanical superman on his trip to the universe, and the fact that Batman acted alone twice and disappeared, all of which made Ke Wen feel overwhelmed in thinking.
The first is the mechanical superman. Just because the mother of the mechanical superman, Lex, and Lena brothers and sisters has an affair, Ke Wen is a little bit unacceptable. He knows that in the world view of American comics, the relationship between heroes and heroes, heroes and villains is chaotic, but it shouldn't be like this. Forget it, when the mechanical superman jumped out to make trouble with Leticia, Ke Wen had never seen this set of operations, as if the two of them suddenly became enlightened.
Instead of jumping back and attacking directly like before, adopting roundabout tactics, using the mass base and public opinion to limit the actions of myself and others, making their defense a joke. There is also the problem of Doomsday. I have dealt with a small team of Doomsday in a row. Although they are all descendants, this performance is different from the Doomsday in comics, which also makes Ke Wen feel difficult.
Ke Wen also discovered that since he obtained the real name of Kamen Rider, the entire DC universe has indeed no longer operated on the same track as before, but the ensuing changes also caught Ke Wen by surprise.
"Whether their changes are related to the memory rebirth storm, the change of the mechanical superman is understandable. If he is really affected by the memory rebirth storm, there is nothing wrong with him doing this. But there is Darkseid's shadow behind him, With Dakseid's personality, he must have noticed that the universe has been restarted early on, but for him, whether it is restarted or not, his goal will not change, to conquer Superman and conquer the earth.
What about Batman, who disappeared twice, the old enemy incident, and I went to the Dark Multiverse in advance. Although I didn’t get in touch with Batman there, could it be because of my trip to the Dark Multiverse that made people laugh? The bat noticed the existence of my unknown in advance, and laid out in the bright multiverse one step earlier. But it shouldn’t be, they can’t make it through, without the five metals plus Batman as a medium, how can they make it through? Doctor Manhattan? Is he this kind of person? "
A series of changes also made Ke Wen gradually think about the possible reasons in his mind, the mastermind behind the scenes, but until now, the only one Ke Wen thinks may be the mastermind behind the scenes is Dr. Manhattan who disappeared after the Darkseid God War incident up. It's just that Ke Wen, who is on the normal timeline, doesn't know that Dr. Manhattan has been imprisoned early, and he is with the future self of the three branches. His accusation against Dr. Manhattan is completely unconvincing.
Scratching his scalp, Ke Wen still had no clue. At this moment, the sound of the key opening the door interrupted Ke Wen's thoughts. When he looked up, he saw Kara who had bought a bunch of vegetables from the supermarket and put the vegetables aside. He didn't pay too much attention to his embarrassment, he went straight up and turned on the TV.
"What's wrong, Kara?"
"You haven't contacted us for a few days. I have to come and see you. Besides, you have to look at this."
On TV, Ke Wen also saw related news. It is nothing more than the summary of the meeting between Clark and the military at the White House in the morning on how to deal with the mechanical superman. The mechanical superman who was whitewashed by the military stood beside Leticia. From the very beginning, he was acting, pretending to be a mechanical superman who was controlled and then liberated, and he also talked about his faults, and then there were various guarantees, followed by Leticia's supporter told the media and the public that Lex Enterprises will fully cooperate with the military's weekly inspection of Mechanical Superman.
Confirm that the mechanical superman is not controlled by Apocalypse, and hope that the mechanical superman can atone for his sins and become a real superman. Watching the hypocrisy of the two on TV, Ke Wen was also speechless for a while.
"Damn it, these two people are quite good at singing Errenguan, but it's even more difficult to deal with them when playing this kind of routine."
Listening to Ke Wen's complaints, Kara just looked at Ke Wen. In the past few days, because of thinking about the reasons for the abnormal situation of several incidents in a row, Ke Wen is also sloppy now. Stepping forward, Kara also held Ke Wen in his arms, feeling the touch on his face, and Ke Wen stopped thinking for a while.
"Okay, don't think about it so much. You haven't stopped since you came back. Take a good rest and see what you've become."
"Before you say this, can you let go of me first, I always feel that you are going to suffocate me inside..."
The urgency of the words also made Cara look embarrassed, and she hurriedly let go. Seeing Kara's embarrassment, Ke Wen also laughed.
"Okay, just kidding, I'm not good at cooking to this extent, if you're hungry, I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you."
"I bought all the dishes, so I'll cook them."
"Don't argue with me about this kind of thing. I'm your boyfriend. There's no reason for a boyfriend to make your girlfriend suffer. Just sit and wait for food."
After getting up and arranging his hairstyle a little, Ke Wen walked towards the kitchen with the dishes Kara bought. And Kara was also sitting on the sofa, watching Ke Wen's busy back in the kitchen, and couldn't help laughing.
On the other side, at the Metropolitan Hospital, Lex and his younger sister Lena were in the ward watching the words of his biological mother and mechanical superman when they were interviewed by the media. Angry Lex clenched his fists, and a corner of the bed sheet All were torn down by Lex. He was already extremely angry about what his biological mother had done, and it was precisely because of this anger that he was so dazed that he made him pay for nothing twice, and was sent to the hospital by his biological mother both times.
Now, seeing his biological mother who took everything away from him and the mechanical superman who caused troubles acting in front of the media, Lex was helpless. Because everything about him was taken away by Leticia, apart from his own surname, he had no capital to fight against Leticia. Lena on the side can also understand her brother's anger, she is happier than Rex, at least Lex used a false memory to create a perfect childhood for her, although in the end, she also knew it was fake.
But before that, she really didn't worry too much, she was just a carefree princess. It's just that the princess has grown up now, has gone through twists and turns, and is also transforming in the direction of the queen. It's just that before that, she had to take good care of Lex. If her brother gave him away again because of anger, and something happened, she would really regret it.
"You don't have to stare at me like that, Lena, I'm fine." Noticing the look in his sister's eyes, Lex also explained stubbornly.
"If you are really good, the nurses who came to take care of you before will not be scared away by you. I am not one of those little girls, so I opened my mouth, it's time to drink medicine!"
Facing Lena's strengthened physique, Lex had no choice but to let Lena at his mercy. Just as Lena was feeding Lex the medicine, the door of the ward opened, and Clark, who had come from the White House, also appeared at the door. Seeing Lex's helpless but helpless expression of being forced to drink the medicine, he also laughed out loud Come.
"Hmph! What are you doing here!" Noticing Clark's arrival, Lex didn't give him a good face, and said directly there.
"I'll come and see you, otherwise why should I come, laughing at you?"
"Then you see it now, you can go, hurry up and deal with your national affairs, and this guy, maybe you really want to become a superman."
"Ha, why didn't I find you so cute before, Lena, can you give us a little space?"
Regarding Lex's bad mouth, Clark also joked there, and at the same time asked Lena on the side for advice. After glancing at Lex, who turned his head away from the window, and Clark, who was smiling sincerely, Lena put the medicine aside tactfully, and said to Clark, "Remember to ask him to drink the medicine."
Nodding her head, Lena also consciously left the ward. And Clark was also sitting on the edge of the ward, looking at Lex. Noticing the news being broadcast on the TV, Clark also turned off the TV.
"Why, I'm afraid I'll see you make a fool of yourself, haven't you dealt with Mechanical Superman?"
"No, I'm afraid that the more you look at it, the more angry you will become, and you will send yourself into the morgue."
"Hehe, thank you so much, I won't go to the morgue if you are killed by Doomsday!"
"I know that, maybe you will put on a Superman suit and play me there."
"you···"
Clark honestly admitted that after following Lex's words, Lex was also speechless for a while because of Clark's anger, although the situation Clark said was not impossible. But it was when he realized that there could be no superman on earth, so he had to play the role of superman.
After taking a breath, Lex, who avoided being internally injured by Clark's anger, looked at Clark and asked him why he came here.
"So why did you come to find me this time? Tell me I'm sorry, didn't you deal with the mechanical superman? If so, I forgive you. It's really not good for you to play with my mother, at least without money and money. With the advantages in connections, his release is inevitable."
"I know this. Indeed, as the two major companies that support me, and now Leticia is the speaker, I really have nothing to do. But it's in terms of money, but in terms of connections, don't I have you? ?”
"What do you mean? I have nothing now. She kicked me out, and the board members are also controlled by her. If you look for me, I can't help you."
Lex was also speechless for Clark's words. But as a consolation, it did make him feel a lot more comfortable.
"I am looking for you not because of any resources, but because you are Lex Luthor, my most admired and difficult enemy in the past several restarted universes. Your strength is not in those weird equipment, but your brain, your superior intelligence. Could it be that without these things, you would not be Lex Luthor?"
"Of course not, so what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that they are playing with us within the rules. Indeed, we can't touch them now, but they don't dare to show their true colors now. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of work to do so many shows? If this is the case, then Let's play with them, don't you consciously hand over the right of supervision to us, but in terms of studying Superman, who can compare to you, Lex Luthor?"
Clark's words made Rexmouth suddenly enlightened. He had been dazzled by anger before, and there were too many negligence in doing things. Now, Clark also pointed out a clear way for him. If he wants to supervise so much, then I will supervise and study you in front of you. As long as I find any evidence of your contact with Apocalypse, you, mechanical superman, have to be punished. Dismantling is used for material research.
"So you plan to hire me as a member of the military to study and supervise the mechanical superman?"
"No, it's the supervisor."
"The problem is, my hiring fee is very high. Can you afford the president's salary?"
"It's okay, this time it's the military and the Congress that pay for it, so I still have the right to sign it~"
"Ah... You said that when you were Superman, why didn't you have the smartness you have now. If you had the brains you have now, ten of me would not be enough for you."
"That's because you were the one fighting me in the ring at the time. It's more practical to use your fists than to use your brains, don't you think?"
In the ward, Lex and Clark also looked at each other and smiled, and for a while, the air was filled with joy. And the mechanical superman who was being interviewed on the other side also felt a chill hit, and couldn't help but thumped in his heart.
