Chapter 244: Chaos
"I never thought you would care about such a thing." Meng Ao paused to leave and looked at Selena who was speaking with an inexplicable look. In his memory, for Selena, she was only concerned about battles and missions, and she had always shy away from such aspects of calculation and politics.
"It's just affected." Selena said.
Meng Ao stepped forward again, Selena close at his side. Meng Ao said as he walked: "First of all, you need to understand that aliens are not the same as humans. Secondly, the class system of the Corvinus blood is also incompatible with the class system of this country. ”
"What you say is a normal idea, but it is by no means the idea of a treacherous politician. Your idea is very much in line with the will of the people, but I need to remind you that even if this country claims to be democratic, it will only be a small minority that makes decisions. ”
"And for this small group, especially those who are sitting at the top of the seat, most of them are resolutely on the side of the general public, but in fact, their real camp is the side of their own interests and those of our giants."
Selena was still confused.
Meng Ao sighed, if it was Ada, she didn't need to say it herself, she would have seen all this, if it was Emma, the White Queen, and a little mention of it, following the Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw and Magneto Eric Lanshel, she could also understand it after fighting with the human government many times, but now it was Selena who was standing in front of him and asking him questions, but it was Selena who was immersed in revenge and battle before.
"It's a question of responsibility." Meng Ao thought for a moment, and explained her doubts to her in words that Selena could understand: "No matter what the elders of the Celestial Bloodline have done, it will be difficult for the descendants to resist their rule. But the state power of mankind is different. We live in a country where people have lost their place because of responsibility. Even as the president of a country, you can't avoid it. ”
"The consequences and repercussions of the Battle of Manhattan are so severe that the current government is facing a deep crisis. The borough of Manhattan, one of the cores of the country's economy. Many of the giants have their own industries and even headquarters in the region. Wall Street is also here. The Battle of Manhattan cost the country more than just a trillion dollars. ”
"Playing dominoes? Knocking down just one can cause an entire deck of dominoes to fall. Maybe you don't understand how many people have lost their jobs in the past few months, and how many people have taken risks because of unemployment! All of this is overshadowed by the overwhelming news of superpower crimes and aliens you mentioned. ”
"The traces of manipulation of news reporting during this period are so obvious that anyone with even the slightest sensitivity and status can feel it. Beneath the ass of the country sits a volcano that is about to erupt. Selena. ”
"I still don't understand." Selena shook her head. She's not stupid, and she's even quite smart, but that seems to only show up in her fighting. In terms of intrigue and power and interests, Selena before following Meng Ao didn't even bother to pay attention to and speculate.
"Remember what I just said about responsibility? The current situation is enough to make all the people in the White House and the Pentagon sit on wax and have a headache for it. Meng Ao replied softly: "They can't make up for the big hole in Manhattan for the time being, but if they can't make up for it, they will be ousted by the surging public opinion." ”
"Those people don't want to throw away their power and get out of power, and their opponents don't want to pull them out of office and take over this super mess."
"Those politicians can't be sure that they'll be able to step down until they step down. To recover as fully as possible from the shock and shock of this loss, they desperately needed a solution to the problem. So the last thing they can think of is to throw one problem to another and divert their attention! Then let the anger that people have accumulated because of the sudden unemployment and economic shock be directed on other people and events. ”
In other words, it's to find a backstabber. And the most appropriate situation, which can also snatch eyeballs and be taken to heart in such a bad situation, is the superpowers exposed by the battle with Manhattan. They have mysteries that few people know. It also has an eye-catching performance and eye-catching ability in the Battle of Manhattan. ”
Meng Ao explained the words to this extent, and Selena immediately understood. But Meng Ao still continued: "This black cauldron S.H.I.E.L.D. can't be carried. Because it's too much at stake. The Avengers are also impossible, because it contains the spiritual symbol of the country - Captain America Steve Rogers, and the tyrannical and destructive Hulk, and the bigwig Tony Stark, who is always looking for trouble, and me, who is the master of Storm. Both of these are tough guys who can stick together in times of danger. They can't bite it off in the wind and rain. ”
So they had to point the arrow at the other side, the one that seemed to be more powerful, but which was also less of a threat to them because of its fragmentation. Look at what some newspapers have said lately, the country's economy has become so bad because of the unbridled superpowers! If not them. The government will be able to restore the economy immediately after the Battle of Manhattan, control the situation, and restore everything to business as usual as soon as possible. It is the superpowers who rely on their abilities to mess up the order and economy of this country, and it is impossible for people to govern it. ”
I have to say that this argument has been very hot recently, and a considerable number of people agree with it, and some hold opposing opinions, but they can't say where the real core problem is. And for those politicians who manipulate all this behind the scenes, whether they are for it or against, they are happy to see it! Because the attention of the people has shifted, and it is no longer just about their initial concerns. Although they are still under tremendous pressure, they are much more comfortable as long as the people's attention is turned to the issues they want the people to move to. ”
"So, after this change, people have shifted their attention from economic issues to the problem of superpowers using their abilities to commit crimes and rob for money." Selena took Meng Ao's words as he stopped.
"Yes. If you think about it, those politicians can't sit back and watch this chaos go on forever, and when the people's patience reaches a peak, they will inevitably introduce a tough bill to quell the anger and prove to the people that they can execute. So a bad thing can become a good thing, and even if it doesn't turn out to be a good thing, at least there is a good chance that it will be okay. Meng Ao glanced at Selena, who answered: "According to the information I have received, this bill is already brewing. ”
"Can they deal with the aliens and superpowers?" Selena was skeptical. Human soldiers are armed with munitions and weapons, and Selena acknowledges the lethal and destructive power of these weapons, but unless they dare to destroy a few more cities and don't care about people's safety, it is difficult to pose a nidal threat to the aliens and superpowers hiding in the city and the crowd with a few guns and ammunition alone.
"They can't solve it, but there's an organization that specializes in solving this kind of thing. They just need to introduce a draconian bill to show that they are not doing nothing. Then, S.H.I.E.L.D. has to take over. You see, going around and around, the media hype, the problem shifts, and the big problem seems to have become not so big. Even if they still exist, those politicians get a lot of time. Meng Ao sarcastically spread his hands.
"In other words, this pot was inexplicably carried by S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury?" Selena was at a loss for a moment, she seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. "There's no way Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. can't see this clearly, right?"
"Expanding S.H.I.E.L.D. funds, buying those troublesome Manhattan plots at a low price, and launching a lot of dusty plans. How is it possible for Nick Fury not to pay a price for this? Meng Ao walked out the door with Selena, and his car was quietly parked not far from him. (To be continued......)
