Chapter 55: A New Round of Military Competition
[Superman is real, and besides, he's an American!] 】
After the battle between the two of Curwen and the old 52 Wally in the Met, soon, with the Planet Daily, the leading media company of the Met, as the front, a report about the battle between Curwen and the old 52 Wally as Kamen Riders, as well as various descriptions of the appearance of the anti-superman created by Lex Luthor went viral in this country, and newspapers, news, and propaganda all used the simple clip of the anti-superman appearing to repel Cowen and the old 52 Wally as a gimmick, stimulating national confidence.
In the context of this special era, the citizens of the two camps are in a state of opposition to each other, because the Soviet camp used the clip of Cowen and Connor blocking the satellite for propaganda, which really hit their country's national self-confidence as a world superpower, after all, in the face of the monster that destroys the building at will, in this era, except for the atomic bomb, a big killer weapon that kills 1,000 enemies and damages 10,000 themselves, they can't think of any way to deal with it.
Nuclear weapons can be said to be the most representative self-destruction tool developed by mankind. But this battle that happened in the metropolis rekindled the confidence of the people of this country, Superman, Kamen Rider, their country also has it, although the superman shape is not as good-looking as the Russian camp, but Kamen Rider, I didn't say it, incense! As long as you are Kamen Rider, then we are half-brothers!
This is the information obtained by the two of Ke Wen who summoned back the transformation ticket that he threw and couldn't find through the system summoning ability, and found a place to rest with Wally, and watched the change.
Looking at the black and white picture on the TV, the anti-superman who was frozen by himself and the old 52 Wally is showing his abilities, X-ray perspective eyes, steel body, hot vision, cold breath, strength... These abilities that belong to Superman are all shown in this anti-superman, and I have to say that with the help of the old 52 Wally, the anti-superman who has corrected various ills is really not bad in other ways except that he can't become stronger by absorbing sunlight like Superman.
The fragments of the power on display are also more convincing than the brief fragments in which the Soviets make a big fuss about themselves and Connor's interception of satellites, and in fact, as this period of fermentation, the international rumors have changed.
People also began to suspect that the Kamen Rider and Superman clips revealed by the Soviet camp were just captured, after all, there were no other clips except for blocking satellites with bare hands, and their own side began to show their abilities, not to mention, the Kamen Rider who was labeled had just had a big fight with his own camp in the Metropolis, and the Soviet side didn't even make a speech, so quiet, it didn't look like their style.
"I always feel that this thing is getting more and more chaotic," put down the newspaper, and looked out the window, the streets and alleys were plastered with posters, the building was carried by Superman, and the sniper at the middle door when he fought with the old 52 Wally became a famous scene, pasted on the wall, and on the road children were also playing role-playing with toy guns or toy bows.
"yes, I didn't say anything about a fight, and I was ghosted, then again, why is there such an operation, even the props you use to transform can be thrown around?"
The new 52 Wally grabbed his hair into a bird's nest, thinking back to the experience of being forced to join Kewen and add a neurotic AI to fight not long ago, and felt nauseous. This kind of feeling that you have me and I have you is not comfortable, mainly of the same sex, and he doesn't know how happy he is when he changes to the opposite sex. And there is also the wise operation of throwing the transformation ticket, which makes Wally understand.
"Hmmm... It may be that this style will be more handsome, after all, after the ultimate move is filled, I always feel like I have lost a lot of money when I honestly put the ticket away. After thinking for a while, Ke Wen also gave an answer that Wally couldn't reply, according to the style of the four fools of the tram, except for the Alien Demon God in the form of the Holy Axe, who is more honest and will put away the filled transformation ticket, the rest is how to throw it away as handsome as the shape is.
Fortunately, I can still recall it through the system, otherwise I can't tell how big a basket there will be with this kind of bad action guidance of throwing a ticket everywhere.
"Okay, about throwing transformation props everywhere, I'll pay attention to it next time, and make it clear to the alien demon god at that time, but now, the investigation on our side is stuck, the mysterious third party, and even the other you don't know what's going on, now, I can only hope that Dick and their side can find something, I have a hunch, Superman is about to appear."
Looking at the jubilant appearance in the city, Ke Wen also looked at the poster in his hand, his expression became solemn, and he said there.
"Huh? This should be a good thing, but why did your expression become so serious? Wally was also frightened by Kewen's expression, they have been looking for Superman's whereabouts, and Superman's appearance, doesn't it mean that everything is time to be solved, with Wally's understanding of Superman, the probability of Superman believing in himself and others is definitely 1000%!
"Is it a good thing? How do I think, this is just the beginning, the world is unpredictable. ”
sighed with emotion, Kewen and Wally, who can't do anything at the moment, can only stay in this rental house and watch the changes in the world.
In Lex's personal laboratory, the old 52 Wally also came here, looking at Lex who was facing away from him at this time, watching the Kamen Rider battle video that happened in Metropolis a few days ago, and the display of his anti-superhuman ability, he also bowed down and asked.
"Mr. Luther, are you looking for me?"
"Yes Wally, did you watch the battle that happened in the Metropolis a few days ago?" Turning around, he pointed to the footage of the battle behind him that had been recorded by himself, and Lex also asked rhetorically.
"Well, I'm impressed, not only the anti-superman, but also the Kamen Rider, their armor, the energy output that is completely beyond our physical laws cognition, and the power comparable to the anti-superman, plus the Kamen Rider in the plural form, also makes us understand that these armor are reproducible, compared to the anti-superman created with great effort, I think, Mr. President, the military has already looked for you in the past two days."
As a party to the battle at that time, the old 52 Wally was also talking about how he felt after transforming into Kamen Rider, nothing else, just one word, cool! There are no bells and whistles, and it is reckless to go up directly, driving a long-distance kite with a mechanical bow, and the kite can't be killed, pick up the mechanical bow and start close combat, fists to the flesh, much better than before he used his speed to push people and run, of course, before that, the old 52 Wally also had to thank the knight universe he observed, and the power of this white prostitute is cool.
"It's amazing, I can deduce so much information just from the clip, and I deserve to be a person who approaches me with intelligence, yes, the military, the president's side have talked to me, and they want to know how feasible it is to replicate Kamen Rider's power."
"What do you say?"
"I didn't give an exact reply, compared to my Superman II, we don't know anything about Kamen Rider, and the birth of Superman II has some unknown DNA as a reference, this is not available, I need to contact Kamen Rider to understand."
"Which one do you contact with?"
"This."
Looking at the freeze-frame picture, the old 52 Wally was also stunned, because the target Lex chose to contact was himself, to be precise, his transformed appearance. Pointed to the tape with the scorpion pattern on the belt in the specified grid.
"Compared to the energyization of another Kamen Rider, and the switch on the armor, I think this purple knight is good, at least the aesthetics meet my requirements, can you help me find him, Wally?"
Talking about the reason why he chose Wally, Lex stared at the old 52 Wally in front of him with blazing eyes, and from Lex's eyes, the old 52 Wally also understood that Lex had already guessed something, but it was okay. This timeline is already in a mess, so why not mess up any more? Thinking of this, Wally replied with a smile on his face.
"Delightfully, Mr. Luther."
On the other side, the Klimt Palace, the Red Fort, the highest administrative center of the Soviets, a silent storm was brewing in this building, and no one dared to speak out to touch the anger of the Supreme Leader at this time, for fear that if one was not good, he would become a prisoner of the KGB and be labeled a political prisoner. But as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no room for optimism at all, and with the appearance of the hostile country, Superman 2, the next few days, weeks, the entire international situation changes and they are caught off guard.
The birth of the anti-superman took place in the battle between the two Kamen Riders in the metropolis, so that they could naturally see the news that the public could see, compared to the battle of the two Kamen Riders, the appearance of the anti-superman was a powerful blow to them. In the beginning, propaganda clips about Superman and Kamen Rider were sent out from their side, with the aim of flexing their muscles and making the enemy country afraid.
They were scared, but they also managed to create a weapon that made them feel at ease, anti-Superman, on the contrary, they didn't have anything of substance except for the clips they released before, whether it was Kamen Rider or Connor, who was labeled as Superman, it didn't belong to them, and the spaceship salvaged from the Bering Strait, after studying it for so long, they didn't come up with a reason, in terms of core technology level, they were suppressed too much.
Not to mention that the other side has a Lex Luthor who is comparable to the wisdom of God, just talking about Operation Paperclip after the end of World War II, the other party has fished out a large number of scientists from the mustache, which has become their capital as a superpower. But in this case, they dare not say it, they will die if they say it, and as for the international situation, the emergence of anti-superman has given the hostile country a shot in the arm.
The allies and satellites have been supported by each other in the past few weeks, and the increasing military spending and nuclear weapons stockpiles have skyrocketed in an attempt to blockade them. If they don't come up with a feasible policy, then it will be a matter of time before the satellite countries on their side defect, and there has always been a collusion of interests between countries, and they can't eat on your side, who still has the heart to be your little brother and rely on love to generate electricity.
"Give the Thirteenth District an ultimatum, I need them to decipher the code within three months and submit me a reproducible report, if it can't be done, then don't blame me for being ready to start a third war at any time. Also, from the KGB, I want all of you to go out, and I'm sure there is a superman in our country as well, and you have to find him for me by any means! ”
"But Leader, we don't know the identity of Superman..."
'Bang! ’
Before the KGB leader could finish his sentence, a gunshot rang out, and he looked at the blood on his chest and fell weakly with disbelief in his eyes.
"I said, I need Superman to appear, as long as he is still human and he is still living in this world, then his network must exist, and the meaning of your existence is to complete the task given to you by this country, Peter Rothlov, my chief of police, this task is no problem for you."
"Leave it to me, Your Excellency, and I'll do it."
After the mission to find Superman, the police chief named Peter also let the unlucky guy who was shot take away, and the blood on the ground was also mopped. The entire conference room was silent, and no one dared to continue to speak, for fear of becoming the next unlucky person.
"You guys, go talk to our satellites, let them know their camp, understand?"
"Yes, Leader!"
No one objected anymore, and quickly left the conference room with a back wet with cold sweat.
While discussing how to deal with the changing international situation caused by the emergence of the anti-superman, Dick and Connor, who were separated from Ke Wenbing, also left the KGB headquarters with the information found in the KGB database related to the Green Lantern Corps. The two of them hibernated in this institution for a few weeks, and after making sure that there was no information related to Superman here, they also went to this mysterious Thirteenth District based on the information they obtained related to the Green Lantern Legion.
Similarly, with the changes in the international situation, Somyshka, located in the Ukrainian collective farm, watched the news through the radio and TV to describe the changing international situation after the emergence of the superman, as well as the worrying future of the country in which he lived, especially after hearing the true and unmistakable reports with his own ears, and finally made up his mind that he would follow the young people in the farm to Moscow!
In the watch shop where he lived, the father who raised him looked at himself who was about to leave on crutches and didn't say much. He understands himself and will not change what he decides once he has made.
"Here's for you." Looking at Somyshka, who said goodbye to him, the old father also threw a bracelet from his cabinet, a black-red, metallic bracelet.
"What is this?" Somyshka put the bracelet on his wrist and looked at it, but with his clairvoyant eye, he couldn't see through the material of the bracelet.
"A gift, when you are sure what you are going to do, it will give you an identity, but you must understand that that identity brings you a sense of responsibility, don't lose yourself, this is the advice I can give you."
"Lost yourself? Don't worry, Dad, I won't get lost. ”
Pat her chest and reassure, Somyshka waved goodbye to the old man she had raised, walked to the large queue waiting for her, went to the train station in town, and boarded the train to Moscow.
