Chapter 274: The Hesitation of the British Authorities
Since the Battle of Manhattan, in the eyes of many ordinary people, this familiar world has become a kind of past. A new and gloomy strange world, so ignoring their perceptions, and not allowing them to refuse, intruded into their vision.
In their minds, in words, on the screen, again and again, they have been happily longing for the fantasy world, the fantasy creatures, and everything in the fantasy, along with that fantasy disaster, have befallen their lives.
Agitated? Perhaps.
But after this world crashed into their world without hindrance, it brought them more confusion and pain!
The only thing that deserves a little comfort in their hearts is that the heroes they imagined would have, the final victory of the disaster in their fantasies, were not left behind. Even if this comfort is not needed by many people. If possible, they would like to return to the ordinary and ordinary world before, despite all the ugliness and crime, and the government will do some unbelievable brainless things from time to time for them to protest and criticize.
But just as it is hard to go back in time, it is also difficult for them to delude themselves into going back in time.
The Battle of Manhattan seems to have become a point of origin, and after that invasion, a world of panic and longing was exposed, with its ugliness and gloom. Worse still, the world is not going to be as calm as it used to be, but it is likely to get worse. And the battle of Manhattan is like a key that opens a cage, releasing the groups of vicious beasts in the cage.
First, the trauma of the Battle of Manhattan.
Later, it was a superpower crime that was rare to see before, and suddenly it bloomed more, and it seemed to be everywhere.
If you say which of the two countries that have been in the limelight the most recently? The United States, which is in a mess internally, and the United Kingdom, which has suffered another extraterrestrial invasion, are definitely the first and second on the list.
For a special body like the World Security Council, the affairs of the United States can be maintained and controlled, if only for them to be overwhelmed. Another large-scale invasion of Britain made them restless!
In just two years, the earth has ushered in two extraterrestrial invasions, and no one is sure that the future will make a smooth road and restore the peaceful situation of the earth that was previously uninvasive. In other words, the invasion of the British Dark Elves. Let the world Security Council and the high-level officials of various countries sound the alarm bells, and it feels like a sword of Damocles hangs over the head.
Even if there are all kinds of coincidences and accidents in both the Battle of Manhattan and the British Dark Elf invasion, and they and the earth can only lie innocently for some reason, but the occurrence of two consecutive invasions in two years is worth paying attention to and being vigilant in any case.
……
Greenwich Palace in Greenwich.
Heavily armed soldiers cordoned off the area, and many trucks were busy moving in and out. It has recently almost replaced the United States as a place that can compete with the United States in the near future and attract the attention of the world.
One or two countries have tentatively put forward a need for cooperation with the British government.
And one or two well-known research institutes. Not far behind, I submitted an application for entry exploration.
Although these countries and research institutions are very subtle, everyone in the British authorities is very clear that the destination of these countries and research institutions is undoubtedly the battlefield where the battle broke out - Greenwich House!
Why?
Is an alien mothership with only a few exterior decks damaged, but with all sorts of internal systems and equipment intact? Is the Dark Elf's scythe-like style of small flying machine enough? Just as the United States is working hard to get the major corporate giants and top research institutions within it to crack and digest Zetari technology, as the dark elf technology that can compete with the Asgardian Divine Domain thousands of years ago and successfully invade the Asgardian realm after reappearance, it is even more coveted! Even his own internal mess is still in chaos. And the United States, which has cracked a lot of Zetari technology, couldn't help but submit a few applications and diplomatic notes. Want a piece of the pie.
The British authorities are able to block any country or research institution, but they are somewhat constrained when it comes to the World Security Council.
Although the World Security Council has become more and more low-key and secretive in recent decades, and even the authorities of various countries want to rely on its strength on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to contain and dismember this behemoth that they created together, but there is no doubt about it. If supernatural forces and aliens are not eradicated, then the existence of the World Security Council, a specialized body, will be necessary. All the authorities can do is weaken as much as possible.
A major proof of this is the diversion of military expenditures provided by the World Security Council to its subordinate bodies to national authorities. Although it is still difficult for the authorities of various countries to intervene in the affairs of the World Security Council in many places, they do not have the priority of resources and the power to allocate military funds to various countries. The World Security Council is no longer so frightening and restless.
However, the two extraterrestrial invasions and the chaotic United States have undoubtedly highlighted the importance of the World Security Council, which has been dormant in recent years.
Nor could the British authorities determine whether the extraterrestrial invasion should be a supernatural event for which the World Security Council is responsible, or whether it should be considered a homeland invasion for which the government and military are responsible. But judging by the incredibleness of the invaders, the British authorities could not escape the World Security Council in any way.
Moreover, most of the cooperative research institutions of the World Security Council are also institutions that may not be well-known in various fields in this world, but they are definitely well-known, and they are familiar with alien and supernatural events! Stark Labs and Storm Bioweapons Development are among them.
But what is a headache for the British authorities is that because of the erosion of the various organs of the world Security Council by various countries over the years, the relationship between organizations such as S.H.I.E.L.D. and the authorities of the subordinate countries has become inseparable. If they agree to the help and needs of the World Security Council, there is no doubt that no matter how strictly they defend and try to keep their ideas secret, many countries such as the United States will inevitably share some of the scientific and technological achievements of the dark elves in the future.
While the biggest cake is still British, who wants their own cake on their plate to be cut and shared by an outside individual? Even the United States, which has obtained Zetari technology, is also gritting its teeth and holding on, putting on a stinky face of who will rob me of food and who will turn my face with whom I will eat alone.
