Chapter 404: Follow-up Effects (Part 3, this chapter number is so scary)
The war ended, but the effects were just beginning to ferment.
Although the main battlefield is not on Earth, New York, especially near Stark Tower, has experienced a great war that has caused many deaths and many buildings to be destroyed.
Moreover, the thick pillars of light emitted by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube can be seen hundreds of kilometers away, and there are many Zetari individual combat aircraft flying over, which cannot be hidden from New Yorkers or the whole world.
The 21st century is the age of the Internet, and everything that happened in New York has long been transmitted to the Internet and spread all over the world.
Everyone knows that there are really aliens in this world, and they are coming to attack the earth.
This is not an experiment, it is not a drill, and it is not something that any government or media can cover up.
The panic it has brought to the population is unprecedented.
World War I, World War II was already very terrible, it swept the whole world, affected so many people, I don't know how many people died.
But compared to an alien invasion, it's nothing at all.
How brutal is the battle between races and races, between civilizations and civilizations?
It's been made clear in those movies, TV series, and comics.
In the eyes of higher civilizations, there is no difference between humans and ants.
No one thinks there's anything wrong with stepping on an ant, and no higher civilization thinks there's anything wrong with destroying a surface civilization.
Human beings don't take ants seriously, they don't talk to them, they don't negotiate with them, they don't talk about human rights, civilization and morality. In the same way, aliens do not talk about this to Earthlings.
The cosmic environment is cruel, dark, and cold, like a dark forest.
The Marvel Universe may not be as brutal as the Dark Forest, there is communication and cooperation between civilizations, but there is also killing and destruction.
Almost every day, many, many civilizations are destroyed, and many more civilizations are born somewhere in the universe.
Civilizations in the vast universe are like sand on the earth, uncountable, nothing at all.
The lower civilizations are dependent on the higher civilizations and sign all kinds of unequal treaties in exchange for the right to live in the universe.
The earth has always been weak, and the reason why it has not been invaded by aliens is because the earth is too weak and the civilization time is too short, and there is no higher civilization to look at.
In addition, it is also because the earth has always been covered by people, such as Odin, such as Asgard.
The general population does not know this, they only know that aliens are coming.
For the whole world, this day will be remembered in history.
It is the first year of aliens and the beginning of a new era on Earth.
The human heart is unpredictable.
Some people express panic about aliens, and they worry every day that aliens will invade the earth again, destroy the earth, or enslave all human beings on the earth.
There are also people who think that aliens may not be as terrible as they seem, everyone can communicate and cooperate with each other, maybe aliens will also help earthlings develop science and technology to improve the level of civilization, and everyone will progress and develop together.
Of course, there are always some people with funny brains, thinking that aliens are here to liberate the earth, and clamoring all day long to be a leading party for aliens, and they haven't thought about whether people need it or not.
Some people even believe that aliens have actually been to Earth a long time ago.
They are the gods of the earth, Jesus, the gods of Olympus, all the gods of the earth are from the extraterrestrial, and now they are back.
Of course, there are different views in this regard.
Some people believe that humanity should get rid of aliens, get rid of the so-called gods, and go to the path of freedom.
There are also those who believe that humans cannot confront the gods and must accept their rule.
Accounts differ and opinions vary.
There are even people who don't believe that there are aliens, and there are quite a few such people.
They don't want their ordinary life to be disturbed, they have long been accustomed to a normal life, and this sudden drastic change makes them can't believe it, so they subconsciously think that aliens don't exist and everything is fake.
Maybe a government experiment?
What's more, the U.S. government itself has little credibility.
Could it be that all this is a deception made up by the US government to cover up some military experiment, some big scandal?
And it was at this time that the UN General Assembly finally came to an end.
No one knew what that meeting was about, and it was not the representatives of the countries who participated in the meeting, but the top leaders of the countries. As for the specific content of the meeting, they will only let those who need to know know about it, and will never pass it on casually.
After another three days, a press conference was held at which an agreement was finally reached after dozens of consultations.
At 8:00 p.m. New York time, all television programs around the world were canceled and replaced by a speech by the UN Secretary-General.
The speech is long and complicated, but the central content is simple.
And after listening to the whole speech, everyone in their right minds all over the world understood what he meant.
A whole new world opens up in front of them.
The Stick Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D. have always been covert organizations.
Although no one knows, there are definitely not many people in the whole world who know, not even 1/1000.
Only elites from all walks of life, high-ranking government officials, or personnel in certain special departments know about the existence of these two departments and will deal with them.
But now it's different.
This press conference publicized the Stick Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D., and the 7 billion people of the entire world began to understand:
In fact, there have been two organizations protecting them all along.
In fact, the existence of aliens is not a secret, there has always been an organization called the Divine Stick Bureau to deal with alien affairs, and has established cooperative relations with some aliens.
And this war was also in charge of the Divine Stick Bureau, which successfully repelled the alien attack.
As for the protection of the planet itself, it is mainly the responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D.
We are not alone in the universe
Nor do we need to be afraid of those higher civilizations
We have the power to protect our own homeland
We have a group of superheroes who are strong enough, reliable enough, a whole organization
We have nothing to fear.
For a while, Lao Wang's voice far exceeded that of any star, and the official websites of the Divine Stick Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D. were open to everyone, and the number of views instantly broke through the sky.
Fortunately, with the support of quantum computers, even if billions of people access at the same time, there will be no problems.
After screening, all the information that can be found to be known by the general public can be found, and the mysterious Divine Stick Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D. lifted their skirts towards everyone.
There was an uproar among the people.
For a time, some people scolded and some praised.
Of course, there are still many people who ask what conditions are needed to join the Divine Stick Bureau and S.H.I.E.L.D., how to go through the procedures, the key is how the welfare treatment is, whether there are five social insurances and one housing fund, how many days of vacation there are per year, and the most important thing is the ratio of men and women, whether it can solve the problem of singleness.
None of that matters.
There are five deputy directors of the Bureau, who are from the five major members of the United Nations.
What is the deputy director used for?
That's what these troubles are for!
Lao Wang, as the director of the bureau, of course would not pay attention to such a trivial matter.
In addition to these, there are other effects.
Governments around the world have increased their defense budgets, gradually matching the proportion of the United States, buying more powerful arms, such as the Iron Soldiers of Azeroth.
Azeroth Social Networks has launched a new game based on the battle called "Zetari Invasion", which has received strong support from governments and attracted hundreds of millions of players, and is even more popular than World of Warcraft.
Skye, who tasted the sweetness, immediately decided to get out the previous battle of the Frost Giant Invasion, which is a prequel to the "Zetari Invasion", and I believe that he can make a lot of money.
While making money, it can also help humans learn about alien races such as Asgardians, Frost Giants, Zetarians, and Kree, and prepare Earth for an interstellar age.
The stock price of the Azeroth Group soared, and Lao Wang's fortune also rose, and soon crushed Tony to become the new richest man in the world.
Money is something outside the body, and Lao Wang has never valued it.
At this moment, he has come to another world that is not known how many thousands of light years away.
