Chapter 397: Distribution of the Spoils of War
Jotunheim, Asgard's surrender ceremony was held again, this time without any trouble, and Thor, the god of thunder, accepted the unconditional surrender of the frost giants on behalf of Asgard very smoothly.
Even, this surrender was more sincere than any previous one.
Because, in the eyes of the Frost Giants, it was the Asgardians and their allies who helped to deal with the Hive monster.
After the hive's body was locked up, the insects that possessed the Frost Giant's body began to slowly die. And because the hive can't commit suicide, it can't transfer the spiritual core at all, and it completely becomes a prisoner.
This is even more terrifying than banishing to another planet, at least the planet is used as a prison cell, and the place is bright enough. But now, he is confined to a glass compartment the size of a coffin box, unable to even take two steps.
However, it is a little different from the last time it was dropped. Thor didn't have the face to invite Rorschach to participate in this surrender again, but there were several more uninvited earthlings.
The closest to Thor is Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and a few other people who look like they are either rich or expensive.
They are the superiors of S.H.I.E.L.D., the five members of the World Security Council, and the big names who represent the five permanent members of the United Nations.
The war between Asgard and Jotunheim has involved the Earth. Now that the war is over, the group intends to have a more formal discussion about Earth's relationship with Asgard.
The key is whether Asgard can stop making trouble for the earth, and at the same time, make it clear that the earth is not under Asgardian rule. Of course, you can't say it so directly on the surface, politicians have the art of speaking, and can use all kinds of tactful words to hint at their own meaning.
It's a pity that they chose the wrong person.
If Loki were replaced, the sinister and cunning second prince would be able to clearly understand the meaning of this group of people, and even deal with it with his arrogance or eloquence that deceived the dead. It can definitely make the earthlings not take advantage of it in the slightest, but at the same time, it will not block the topic.
It's just that the protagonist of this conversation is Thor, a warrior who wields a hammer hundreds of times more than he spends reading official documents. Even if he grows, he is nowhere near enough to compete with these politicians.
As a result, Thor quickly got the conversation to death.
"Midgard has always been under the protection of Asgard, are you planning to rebel like the Frost Giants?" Thor stared at the five with murderous eyes.
I can't answer that.
If you want to say yes, then it is estimated that Thor will bring an army to fight the earth the next day, if not, but he admits the fact that the earth is "protected" by Asgard.
Isn't this just forcing the earthlings to go to war? I've never seen such a negotiation.
As a result, it was Nick Fury who came up to interrupt and said to the warrior who had just been surrendered and glorified: "Thor, we humans have also contributed a lot of strength in this war. So, on the issue of the distribution of this trophy, I think we can discuss it again. ”
This topic is quite an appetite for Thor.
In fact, the last time he was surrendered, Thor invited Rorschach, and he already had the idea of distributing the spoils. The Frost Giants were defeated, and surrendering was not just a matter of signing a surrender and swearing.
The relevant material and manpower compensation also needs to be carefully calculated.
Despite the fact that Jotunheim is covered in snow and looks desolate, there are actually many very valuable products in this place, which are very valuable in Asgard. There are also the slaves of the frost giants, which are very good labor resources, and they also involve very huge interests.
However, Thor said to Nick Fury, "In that case, let Rorschach come and talk to me, only he is qualified to share the spoils with Asgard." ”
This is another sentence that kills the day, and Nick Fury almost didn't pull out his gun to duel Thor. I was kind enough to change the topic for you to go down the stairs, and that's how you repay me?
The dignified Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you even said that I am not qualified to talk to you about loot? I don't want to lose face?
However, for the Asgardians, who were guilty of death, Rorschach was the comrade-in-arms who fought alongside Thor. From the time Thor was banished to Earth, it was Rorschach who helped him return to Asgard and remind him of the way to regain his divine powers.
It was also Rorschach who led the Earth to cooperate with Asgard at the beginning, and finally in Jotunheim, it was Rorschach who helped Asgard successfully establish a magic array, and finally destroyed the plan of the Frost Giants to raid Asgard, saving Odin and killing Lawy.
In the end, the beehive that suddenly appeared was also solved by Rorschach.
In such a situation, how could Thor talk to someone about the distribution of the spoils, the glory of the Asgardians did not allow him to commit such an act of disloyalty and unrighteousness.
Thor can't use words to move, so this meeting with S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't even have a "result" to get it. To go back like this is simply a stain on your political career.
It's like a 4V representative rubbing an international conference, and when he sees Emperor Chuan, he runs over to grab someone's hand, and takes a photo to go back and have an explanation. On the surface, it was an in-depth exchange and friendly meeting with Emperor Chuan, but in fact, people didn't even look at you.
If the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the five members of the Security Council go back in disgrace, it is estimated that the P5 will begin to consider the issue of replacement.
"Where the hell is that Rorschach?" The member of the Security Council, who belongs to the United States, said with a gloomy face.
"If such an important moment doesn't appear, doesn't he know the severity?" The congressman seemed to have inherited the arrogance characteristic of the Americans, and his tone was thick with the meaning of a superior reprimanding a subordinate.
Although Nick Fury is also quite unhappy, and he is not your subordinate, do you really think that if he is named as an adviser, it means that he is under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D.? Iron Man is still a special advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., why don't you play with him?
If he didn't dare to confront the black director, he wouldn't confront him face to face, because he knew that he didn't need to come forward, so naturally someone would help Rorschach speak.
Sure enough, after hearing the American congressman's words, the congressman representing Huaxia said calmly: "Mr. Luo is on vacation, and I think that as a person who has made a significant contribution to the security of the earth, it is very reasonable to give yourself a vacation and spend time with your family after most of the problems have been resolved." We don't need to fight the war anymore, and if even such a thing as negotiation requires our hero to come in person, then I think a few of us can go back and submit our resignations. ”
These words sharply scolded several other parliamentarians, you can't fight a war, and you can't negotiate after the war, what's the use of you?
This was a slap in the face, which made the faces of the other people change in an instant. But the Huaxia delegates have confidence, and no one knows what the relationship between Rorschach and the motherland is. Asgard is willing to talk to Rorschach, and it is already obvious who will take the lion's share.
Fighting back his anger, the U.S. congressman asked Nick Fury very quietly, "Where is that Rorschach?" I don't believe that a Chinese American who is still running a company in the United States really loves his motherland so much. ”
Nick Fury smiled wryly and said, "Rorschach, it seems that he is really with his daughter." ”
"It's just a little thing?! This involves the strategic deployment of humanity on another planet! The councillor finally couldn't help but growl.
Nick Fury's face also changed, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency, you can go and ask yourself, I can give you Rorschach's phone number." ”
