Chapter 32: The Dark Elves Hitting the Street

Although the remaining three Dark Elf stealth fighters continued to haunt the sky over Manhattan Island, from time to time they swooped down to sneak attack the US troops on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Dark Elf infantry on the ground also continued to fight with the American army on the streets. But it soon showed signs of decline.

- No matter how sophisticated the military technology of the Dark Elves is, they have two major Achilles' heels that cannot be repaired:

First, the total number of troops is too small, and second, the destructive power of weapons is insufficient.

Compared to the Zetarians who invaded Earth last time, the Dark Elves only had one largely unarmed landing ship, and their available strength was less than one-tenth of the former's. Moreover, they do not have the Death Star or Star Destroyer-level weapons in Star Wars, and they cannot do a crushing blow to human armies. Even the firepower of those Dark Elf stealth fighters was only similar to that of human jet fighters.

And just in case, the U.S. military deployed six divisions on Manhattan Island in advance -- although the military expenditure for this is huge, but it is nothing compared to another nuclear bombing in New York and a major collapse of the global financial markets.

Such an astonishing density of troops is simply not something that such a small army as the Dark Elves can penetrate head-on. Moreover, the Dark Elves are only able to make their ships and fighters optically invisible, but they can't equip each soldier with a single stealth system.

As a result, after the US troops on the front line used tanks to assault and crush at the cost of casualties, the dark elves, who only had light infantry, quickly collapsed.

As for the three Dark Elf stealth fighters that sneak up in the sky from time to time, they can't change such a huge difference in strength -- although the US Army is accustomed to fighting with its own air supremacy, it does not mean that they are unable to withstand the enemy's indiscriminate bombardment and attack.

- After all, a group of Assassins can't show much of their true skill in a head-to-head battle. In the plot of "Thor 2", a mere unarmed British intern can use the gravity anomaly to lift a car, and then easily smash a class of dark elves......

So, when Thor, Tony, Iron Man, and Hulk arrived on the battlefield one after another, the Dark Elf soldiers who landed had in fact completely collapsed. Their main job became to divide and outflank the remnants of the enemy, denying them the opportunity to escape back to the battleship.

By the time Captain America and Black Widow Natasha brought Wang Qiu and these "Krypton friends" over, the Dark Elf landing infantry on the ground had been basically wiped out, and only a few stragglers were left to run around the city. The remaining three Dark Elf stealth fighters in the sky were also shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and the last two fighters circled around the battleship, and their energy was on the verge of exhaustion, but they never found a chance to land safely.

But despite this, the Dark Elf Space Battleship, which was surrounded by human armies, was still unable to attack for a long time. No matter how frantically the army poured fire on the hull, or the Hulk swung his fist and slammed it with all his might, it couldn't break the tortoiseshell-like energy shield on the outside of the battleship.

The commander of the US troops on the front line, who was forced to be in a hurry, even began to have the idea of digging tunnels and drilling sewers, but it was impossible to do so in a short time.

What's worse is that after confirming the annihilation of the landing force, the aliens in the spaceship seem to have taken off and fled again.

How does this work? Killed so many people, ruined so many things, and still want to leave? Anyway, you have to keep the spaceship as compensation!

However, when Wang Qiu and the others arrived with the magical props of Doraemon World, this little trouble was immediately solved:

“…… This is the [Crossing Ring], which can open a passage as long as it is buckled on the protective cover...... Huh? How did you get in? ”

- I saw that as soon as the [Crossing Ring] was buckled to the shield of the Dark Elf Space Battleship, Thor took the lead with a hammer, followed by Iron Man Tony, followed by Captain America with a shield in his hand, Hawkeye Patton with a bow and a string, and Black Widow Natasha with two guns...... Only the huge Hulk, who was blocked by the one-meter-diameter [Crossing Ring], beat his chest in anger, and then punched it fiercely.

However, at this moment, with the sound of explosions coming from inside the spaceship, the invisible shield surrounding the entire Dark Elf Space Battleship instantly collapsed and disappeared, and the Hulk, who was smashing the shield with his fist, suddenly couldn't retract his strength, and fell forward with a thud...... Then, before the Hulk could get up to the laughter of others, a figure in a red and blue bodysuit swung over his head.

“…… Belch? Isn't this Spider-Man? Why did this guy come to join in the fun? Hasn't he always only fought supercriminals? ”

Looking up at the nimble figure swinging from the high-rise buildings all the way into the alien battleship, Wang Qiu couldn't help but muttered in confusion.

“…… Superheroes! Isn't it all like this, and there is no limit to death? Ma Tong shrugged his shoulders, "...... Are we going to go up with it? ”

“…… Well, since there are already so many people in there, let's forget it! After all, we don't like to die......"

First looked at the Hulk who roared and rushed up to dismantle the battleship with his bare hands, and then looked at the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and American GIs around him, Wang Qiu, who thought that he had brushed up enough bonus points, finally shrank decisively: he was neither a superhero nor Lei Feng, and it was better to do less thankless work.

Then, in the midst of the messy explosions and fires, the crowd watching the battle on the periphery heard a tooth-aching sound of metal grinding again, and Iron Man Tony. Stark shouted a warning through a megaphone: "...... Watch out! Back off! This thing is going to fall! ”

- Boom!

The space battleship accompanied by the dark elves was smashed in two by the Hulk and collapsed, and the Second Battle of Manhattan came to an end.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

“…… Once again, the great Union army faced the alien invasion in Manhattan, New York, and won a great victory in just three hours! This is the victory of democracy, the victory of freedom, and the victory of the earth and human civilization! As the guardian of the world, the Pentagon expresses confidence in the security of the planet......"

The smoke of gunfire on the banks of the Hudson River had not yet cleared, and the news on television had already shown the victory of the "relevant departments".

Next, there may be torchlight processions to celebrate victory in major cities across the United States, as well as banquets and balls of all kinds.

Even governments in Europe, Asia, and Africa have sent warm congratulatory messages to the United States.

-- Regardless of whether the leaders of those countries are secretly gloating or not, at least on the surface, they must put on a posture of hatred for all mankind. Otherwise, it will become the target of thousands of people: in any case, the Americans are indeed on the front line of defending against aliens these two times.

At this time, Wang Qiu and others, who had once again delayed their return, were sitting in the VIP room of the Stark Industrial Building, watching the news report about the Second Battle of Manhattan. Compared with the chaos and chaos of the last Battle of Manhattan, with heavy casualties, this Battle of Manhattan was almost shameful because of the good preparation, effective command, and more importantly, the opponent was stupid and weak.

For this reason, although the GIs still suffered a lot of casualties, and a brigade was reimbursed for tanks and armored vehicles alone, the Pentagon triumphantly rained down medals and honored a bunch of combat heroes. And the major consortia and scientific research departments are also very happy: the wreckage of an alien warship that is more than half intact, and an intact alien fighter (after the destruction of the mothership and the exhaustion of energy, the last dark elf stealth fighter was reluctantly forced to land and capture), it can definitely bring great inspiration to the development of human science and technology, which can be called of great significance.

In contrast, the superheroes who are fighting on the front line, the publicity image in the news media is a little subtle. Although it is also mainly praised, all kinds of insincere tones, as well as explicit or implicit denigration, even as an outsider, can feel it.

“…… I feel that the major media seem to be very repulsive to these superheroes! It's completely different from the reaction of the people! Ma Tong muttered.

“…… American public opinion claims to be free, but in fact, behind the major media are standing conglomerates, and how can they like superheroes? ”

Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders, "...... In the eyes of the rulers, there is no difference between the elimination of violence and peace and the violation of law and discipline, and it is even more hateful! Because this is acting as a government function! The emergence of superheroes itself means that the government is derelict in its duties, and the official naturally has to suppress it at the first opportunity. ”

It is an inevitable law of history that any country depends on violence to maintain itself, and those who have the strongest force can and should hold the supreme power. If the above laws are not followed at a certain stage of history, then all kinds of distortions and abnormalities will appear in society.

And the biggest problem in the Marvel world is that in fact, the superheroes who have the strongest force have not obtained the highest power of the country.

As the saying goes, if you don't take it, you will suffer it. Since superheroes do not hold the supreme power out of boring factors such as moral cleanliness or lack of brains, they will naturally be hostile and suppressed by vested interests. However, the current human society has become a lot more civilized, and some despicable and shameless things cannot be made clear, and if you want to suppress and smear superheroes, you have to find a way to coerce public opinion and seize the moral high ground to gain the upper hand.

At first glance, it seems very difficult to make the protected people hostile to the superheroes who saved them, but in fact, even if they are the same ordinary people of the same nationality with the same culture, once they are fooled into having differences in thinking, then no matter how much benefit the strong party gives to the weaker party, the other party will only take it for granted, without the slightest sense of gratitude, and bite back, accusing the other party of daring to have a benefactor mentality and bad intentions: "You should spend more money to contribute when you come to travel", "The colonial era is good." , should be a colony for another 300 years", "The other side of the strait is to engage in Trojan horse slaughter", "They can't even afford to eat tea and eggs, how can they make profits, everything is a conspiracy of the Chinese people"...... Yunyun.

In the Marvel world, there is a similar contradiction between superheroes and ordinary people, to be precise, between unruly superheroes and the chaebol bigwigs who actually rule ordinary people. As superheroes who are very different from ordinary people, they are far more different from ordinary people than different ethnic groups in the real world, and it is easier to incite tears and confrontations. What's worse is that the common people have been fooled by the media into forgetting the cruel truth that the law of the jungle is the strong, and instead absurdly believe that the strong naturally have the obligation to take care of the weak, and even think from the bottom of their hearts that the weak naturally have the right to call the strong: but such a thing that violates common sense is like a rabbit calling a tiger and a wolf, how can it be realized?

The final result of such a toss will definitely become "one country, two IQs", or even worse.

Although this sounds despicable, the United States is a plutocratic country, no matter how many times superheroes have saved the world, in the eyes of the government and the chaebols, they are all annoying lawbreakers, and they want to hold them down and beat them hard at every opportunity, and they do everything possible to smear and slander them in propaganda - this has nothing to do with whether they do good or bad things, or it is precisely because superheroes do too many good things that the government and the chaebols hate them to the core: if there are superheroes, they can maintain peace, So what do you need from the police, judges, and lawyers?

Fortunately, although it is the same sluggishness and the same greed and shamelessness, the ruling class of the United States has not completely degenerated to the extent that the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty would rather destroy the country and destroy the species, and also emphasize literature over military force. In the face of the endless devastating crises in this world, they still know that they must rely on superheroes to keep human civilization from destruction. But I was still very reluctant to have to bow to a bunch of untouchables, and I couldn't help but stab me in the back at the first opportunity, and took it for granted. The result is a 180-degree turn in the tide of public opinion in three days, lifting superheroes into the sky for a while, and knocking them all to the ground for a while.

However, in the eyes of superheroes who are more realistic, this approach is a typical reversal of right and wrong, and revenge will be taken, so the relationship between superheroes and the government is generally extremely tense, and they often fight because of some misunderstandings, and the government is indeed planning how to control or eliminate these superheroes all the time, which leads to the accumulation of hatred between each other. Today's relationship between the two sides is somewhat similar to that between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party during the Anti-Japanese War, and they reluctantly sit together in order to protect the earth and human society, and once the threat of foreign enemies is reduced, or when the government and chaebol degenerate into betraying mankind, luring wolves into the house, and completely colluding with aliens, aliens, and cults, then they will immediately fight.

So, are superheroes with extraordinary powers unable to coexist harmoniously with ordinary ordinary people? The answer is definitely not. In ancient societies that were not so far away, nobles and commoners who claimed to be noble-blooded were also people of two worlds, but everyone at that time took them for granted. No matter how many inspirational stories of poor boys who have achieved fame through hard work, they can't change the fact that the two classes are separated like a sky.

Even in modern times, political families abound in various countries, and no one can deny the various privileges they have, both explicit and implicit.

In view of the above situation, superheroes who think they can rise to power by force also want to grab a few chairs in the top circles of national power and wealth, but the original old forces insist on not giving up a little bit of power and wealth, and instead want to use them as consumables. Whether violence harnesses wealth, or wealth harnesses violence, the question is estimated to be a dispute that will not yield a result even after a hundred years of dispute.

Therefore, the superheroes of the Marvel world still have to engage in never-ending internal friction and struggle with the official......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Of course, all these intricate social problems in the Marvel world are not directly related to Wang Qiu and others who are passing by in a hurry. The only thing they need to focus on at the moment is the progress of the score - overall, the situation is quite good. The plot of "Thor 2" has been completely derailed from the original track: the Asgardian God Domain of the Aesir Protoss has not been attacked, Thor's mother has not been killed, the Aether particles have disappeared, the dark elves have attacked New York instead of London, the Avengers have regrouped several years in advance, and the evil god Loki has not appeared at all......

The entire plot has been shattered into this unrecognizable appearance, and the reward points are naturally rolling in like a torrent.

“…… The current total number of points is...... Ninety-eight thousand five hundredth...... Soon it will be 100,000! ”

Looking down at the Book of Crossing in his hand, Wang Qiu announced, "...... But where do we go to make up the remaining 1,500 points? ”

“…… Alas, it's hard to do! In chronological order, the plot of the following "Guardians of the Galaxy" takes place in the distant planet of Xandhar, we don't know the coordinates of going to that place, and the aether particles that are the introduction of the plot have also been lost, and God knows what will develop. The plot of "Captain America 2" will have to wait for another year and a half, even if we expose the Hydra spy lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D. in advance, it is estimated that no one will believe it, and besides, we don't actually have a complete list of Hydra lurkers, only a few important characters. ”

Levi frowned and muttered, "...... Are we going back to our Montana farm for a year and a half? Or take the [Space Lifeboat] to try your luck in the universe and see if you can hit Sandar like a needle in a haystack? ”

-- Obviously, neither of the above two proposals was a favorite choice, and everyone was distressed for a while.

Next, the door of the VIP room was suddenly opened, and Tony, Iron Man, with a calm face, walked in with a slightly cowardly Captain America.

“…… Hey, dear alien boy, I came to say goodbye to you! Tony yelled with a big grin as he pushed Captain America to the front, "...... Still, Rogers has a little personal plea, can you do me a favor in the face of me? ”

Then, after listening to Captain America's rambling words, Wang Qiu and the others couldn't help but silently exchange a look.

- The way to quickly scrape together the remaining 1,500 bonus points has finally been found!

PS: Tomorrow, no, today is Valentine's Day, just give Captain America and Agent Carter, a troubled couple, and their infatuation and bitterness that has been blocked by seventy long years, and send a comforting ending as much as possible as the end of this volume. What about percent? ”
