Chapter 228: Prelude to a Counterattack (Ask for Support!) )

"You're finally back, and the Met is about to fight now."

As soon as he sees Ian, Bruce starts complaining.

Clark glanced at Bruce in surprise, he had known this man for so long and had never seen him complain about anything to anyone.

However, considering that the other party was Ian, he felt that this matter became reasonable.

"As for it? The metropolis has become like that, it is the time to make money, how can it be fought? ”

Ian sat down in his chair and took the hot tea that Clark had poured and asked Bruce to make things clearer.

Bruce doesn't care much about what happens to Ian in the universe, although he brings back a large bird and two blue-skinned aliens that humans can't understand.

"That's about it...... Those bastards are like greedy hyenas, and everyone wants to bite a piece of meat off us. ”

Bruce doesn't hide his hatred for those people.

Ian put down the teacup, touched his chin with his hand, and smiled, "These guys are more greedy than I thought, but they are also more stupid than I thought, and they are jumping out now, and they are simply here to give me a head." ”

Clark and Diana also sat around, and Clark was unfamiliar with these economic activities compared to Diana's worldly skills.

He asked, "How can such a troublesome situation become a good thing in your mouth?" ”

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Ian pulled out his tablet, flipped through the progress of the project, and explained, "Now that the redevelopment of the metropolis has just begun, everything is in the preparation stage, and we can pull out at any time.

Those bastards are jumping out now, and it doesn't hurt us much. If they are in trouble when the metropolis is halfway through reconstruction, we will be unable to withdraw or continue, and the dilemma will be called trouble. ”

Clark shuddered as he listened to Ian's story and imagined that image.

Bruce hadn't kept these accounts from the superheroes, so Clark knew that the basic investment in personnel training and equipment preparation alone was in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

If the whole project were to stop in the middle, billions of dollars of investment would probably go down the drain.

"What are you going to do with those guys?"

Bruce doesn't care about money at all, for the Wayne Group, the dollar is already a paper that can be printed if you want to, and with the two allies of the Quinn Group and Leah Technology, money is not a problem.

"My fear is that if something goes wrong with this plan, the enemies of the superheroes will join forces to attack us."

Bruce explained his concerns to Ian: "If it's just the villains teaming up, we can slowly solve it." But those enemies of politics and business will not remain neutral, and will definitely join the siege, then we will really be the enemy of the whole world. ”

"Therefore, we must not let the enemies comfortably discuss plans against us in the shadows, and we must divide and attack them."

Ian touched his chin and thought for a while before saying, "The most inconspicuous of our enemies are those gangsters, and the local gangs in the metropolis are all middle-class people who lost their jobs after the invasion of Brainiac.

Compared to the Gothams, the Met's gangsters are incapable of organizing. As long as we don't knock out a few core people, everyone else will collapse. ”

"It's not that hard, we can get them all out in an hour."

Clark waved his fist and said in embarrassment: "But the point is that there is no place to punish them, the police in the metropolis have almost collapsed, and the people of the city government are in cahoots with them." ”

Truth be told, it's not that the Met is jobless, the Met redevelopment plan needs more manpower, it's just that the self-proclaimed "middle class" townspeople would rather join the gang than work with the Gotham rednecks.

Of course, Ian will not be soft on such people, since he is unwilling to listen to good words, then he will cut off the back road of these guys in Zhejiang, such unrepentant, and they deserve to starve to death.

Ian's mercy isn't for fools.

It's just that Clark didn't think about this layer at all, he was too politically sensitive, and he was still concerned about the consequences of the expansion of the Gotham gang.

"After a few major blows from me and Bruce, the Gotham gang was left with only Penguins and Black Masks, and the rest went to labor camps."

Ian looked at Bruce and said, "I kept them to attract firepower for the Wayne Group, but now it seems that there is no need to keep them."

Clearing these guys will not only provide us with a shell for mastering the Metropolitan Gang, but also provide the right environment for our next steps. ”

Ian turned to the offensive and turned the topic to the economy: "Gotham and Star City used to be large-scale steel cities, and steel production once accounted for half of the world's steel production. The subsequent decline of these industries was not so much due to the so-called improvement in workers' salaries as to the combination of the profit-seeking nature of the business elite and the inaction of the government. ”

"Now that we have two markets, Gotham and Metropolis, we can contact latecomers like Huaxia to buy steel from them and ask them to guide us on how to rebuild basic industrial factories like steel and oil."

"Is this necessary? We are well placed to meet these needs through international trade. Clark remembered Louise's recent focus on Southern conservatism.

Bruce said more bluntly: "By doing this, you are simply digging up the roots of those guys in the White House Congress!" ”

"Lao Tzu digs up their roots!"

Ian said with a grim face: "Why are the bureaucrats of the metropolitan city government so rampant, isn't it because those conglomerates that have mastered the international trading system think they can use steel energy to manipulate us?"

I just want me to tell them that fake is fake, and that the game of leverage is over. Lao Tzu overturned the table where they played monopoly, and I see what those guys are going to do to continue to trouble us. ”

"Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. If you do that, if they tear their faces and bite like mad dogs......"

Bruce knows the virtues of those people, and they have long stopped treating the people at the bottom as human beings.

Ian said coldly: "I just cut off their financial routes, and how many people's lives have been cut off by those people." To this day, how many of the citizens of the metropolis still live in tents and receive rationed food.

Those bastards don't care how to help rebuild the metropolis, and they sit back and watch people make trouble. ”

"Attack? Did we start first? Of course not, it was those bastards in the White House and Congress who attacked us first, and we're just fighting back now. ”

Ian's tone grew more intense, and he slapped the table and stood up, like an angry lion, and although it didn't target the others present, it still made them think about the crux of the matter.

They can wait, but the inhabitants of the metropolis can't wait, the winter in the metropolis is not warm at all, not to mention the fact that alcohol and drugs are gradually expanding in the crowd.

This situation continues, and there will be a large number of dead bodies in the winter.

In fact, there are already many urban elites who have seen their hard-bought houses run their lives ruined, and the banks continue to issue collection bills, and they commit suicide in despair.

Even suicide is restrained, and some people simply use the last money to buy an excessive dose of drugs and put them in dinner, and leave this world with their families.

"I agree with your plan"

Bruce looked up at Ian, who had planned to fight back, and Ian's plan was exactly what he wanted.

"I don't have an opinion either, I can't die anymore!"

Clark thought about the tragedy he had seen at the camp and stood firm with Ian.

Diana tries to show her attitude, but is stopped by Ian.

"Why?" Hair Diana looked at him dissatisfied.

Ian replied, "You are the princess of Paradise Island, even if you don't reveal your identity now, when Paradise Island appears in the future, this identity will quickly overwhelm the other attributes on you."

What you say about your position now will become Paradise Island's statement about human society. Until you have the opinion of Queen Hippolyta, you better refrain from making political statements. ”

When Diana heard Ian's detailed explanation, the dissatisfaction in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she said seriously: "I have walked in human society for thousands of years, and I have seen too many regime changes. In the current order, only our consortium is the only trustworthy group on Paradise Island.

Moreover, the barrier that the gods have given to Paradise Island has been going on for thousands of years, and I don't think my fellow sisters will appear to humanity anytime soon. ”

"I don't think so!"

Ian said in a deep voice, "One of the three mother boxes left on Earth by the Apocalypse Star is locked up on Paradise Island. If the vanguard sent by Darkseid reaches Earth, Paradise Island will probably be the first to be attacked. ”

"I've never heard my mother talk about these things."

Diana only wondered why her mother was talking about these things, and instead of thinking that Ian was lying to herself, she frowned and made up her mind, "If that's the case, I need to go back to Paradise Island to inform my mother and sisters of the danger they will face." ”

"Damn, the last time I went back to Paradise Island was a thousand years ago, I wonder what happened to my family?"

She whispered to herself for a while, then looked up at Ian, winked and smiled, "Unfortunately, I can't take you back to Paradise Island this time." It's funny to think about how you dealt with my mother's interrogation. ”

"Spare me!"

Ian looked at Diana's dark smile and folded his hands and begged her for mercy.

Seeing Ian's distressed look, Diana let out a silver bell-like laugh, and did not embarrass him any longer, and then returned to Earth through the teleportation device of the watchtower.

"You two ......"

Clark looked at Ian's interaction with Diana with his mouth wide open, with a look of incredulity.

"Nothing happened to either of us."

Ian interrupted Clark's reverie and gave a brief account of his dealings with Diana, who was not afraid of rumors, but at this critical juncture, he didn't want to be dragged away by the peachy news.

"Anyway, don't spread the word, hurry up and call someone to change shifts, we still have a lot to do!"

Bruce didn't react much to this incident, as a famous playboy, he has many confidants, and can deeply understand Ian's distress.

So he hurriedly called Dick and Jason and asked them to come here on duty.

After the Brainiac incident, Jason officially became Red Hood, embraced Ian's ideas, and helped out in the Wayne Group.

The eldest and second eldest of the Bat House learned of Ian's plan, and agreed with both hands and feet, saying that they wanted to join the action.

"It's not time for you to go out yet!"

Ian said to the two brothers, "Bruce is going to Oliver and help him completely control the Quinn Group and clean up the Quinn Group." I'm going to meet Luther's sister. ”

Jason was puzzled: "I thought you were going to launch a counterattack directly?" ”

"After launching a counterattack, you must ensure internal stability."

Ian held out his index finger and said to them, "Oliver's position is not in doubt, but the Quinn Group is indescribably smoky. I don't know much about Leah Luthor, and I have to pull her into my boat. Once there will be a hole in the stable triangular structure, and the enemy will find the flaw, then we will be in trouble. ”

"I hope you can make it!"

Dick and Jason know more about economic activity than Superman, and they know what it means to be a union of the three groups, so they don't ask much, just send him their blessings.

Immediately, the three of them left the watchtower, and Bruce returned to Gotham first, and then looked for Alfred.

Ian arrives at Met, and instead of letting Clark lead the way, he goes to Rachel.

After the Brainiac invasion, the infrastructure of the metropolis came to a standstill, and schools were no exception.

Rachel was happy that she didn't have to go to school, running around, helping out on various construction sites, wanting to get a hand in everything.

According to Bruce, Rachel is doing a pretty good job, no matter what kind of work, as long as she is exposed to it for a while, she can become proficient.

The endless flow of magic has solved many problems, and the name of the raven has spread among the workers.

Ian flew at an altitude of a thousand meters, closed his eyes, and after sensing it for a while, he found the largest source of magic power in the metropolis.

When he arrived at the scene, Rachel was standing in front of a group of workers, with dark purple magic crows flying around them, and a group of thugs who had come to the construction site to find trouble were slapped directly into the pit that had just been dug by the raven's outstretched wings.

"Why are you thugs again?"

The raven stood at the edge of the pit and said with a cold face, "This is the third time in a week that you have come here to make trouble. ”

"Don't talk nonsense with these people, just break their legs and throw them out, and ensure that they can't move for three months."

Ian landed beside Rachel, and a loud voice echoed throughout the construction site.

Rachel grabbed his hand in surprise, and the thugs in the pit shouted fearlessly: "If you dare to touch us, the police will come to the door tomorrow to make your construction site unbearable." ”

Rachel resisted the urge to talk to Ian about the pain of lovesickness, and whispered to him, "The Metropolitan construction site is like this now, as long as the workers dare to resist, the police will be there immediately." ”

"The metropolis is rotten like this, the police are a fart!"

Ian had already planned everything, and when he pressed his thumb on his middle finger, the air was instantly compressed into a marble-sized air bullet, which flew out with a thud, pierced the legs of all the thugs, and then threw them out.

"You wait, the police won't let you go."

The thugs who came to make trouble hugged their bloody thighs and shouted at the police, making people feel ridiculous.

However, the American police originally started by suppressing the labor movement, and when the economy is good, they can still put on the skin of "fairness and justice", and in the turmoil, they immediately exposed their true nature.

Ian said nonchalantly: "Then let them come to me, isn't it just to make trouble, who is afraid of whom!" ”
