Chapter 877 Ruins (please collect, recommend, monthly pass, subscribe) The second update asks for a ticket!

White House.

Benjamin looked at the cabinet staff arguing with each other, with an extremely calm face. He even made himself a cup of coffee, then turned and looked out the window.

Ah... life... really fucked!
want to resign.

What will you do after retirement?To publish a book?Hmm, great idea.

Benjamin Scheer is already very Buddhist, his tenure has been too troubled, and there is nothing to excite him now.There are myths and aliens, so what happens again, isn't it taken for granted?
Soon Nick Fury walked in, and everyone looked at him.Except for the president.

The president was still looking out the window.

Others also took note of the president's performance.

"Mr. President." Thought the staff called softly.

"Oh? Are you done arguing?" Benjamin turned around and looked at the crowd. As for Nick Fury, he didn't even take a second look.This president is very dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D., very dissatisfied!Again, S.H.I.E.L.D. did nothing.No warning, no report, no explanation.

Benjamin didn't even know where S.H.I.E.L.D. stood in the American system.

Just tell me, what kind of bird does S.H.I.E.L.D. have?

Nick Fury's complexion is not good. The reason why he appears here is naturally not to let the president show his face.His original plan was to appear in the White House as a savior to subdue the president.

Yes, Nick really thought so.At this moment, S.H.I.E.L.D. should exert its power.

But unfortunately, the president seems to be even more dissatisfied with S.H.I.E.L.D.

Everyone was a bit puzzled by the president's statement.

"You have been arguing for a long time, what are you arguing about?"

"We are...discussing whether to take a diplomatic assault or declare war." The female defense minister said a little awkwardly.

The current White House cabinet is divided into two factions, one faction is inclined to diplomatic means, and this faction is headed by the Secretary of State.By the way, the Secretary of State is a leftist politician. He has always been very interested in topics such as environmental protection. The anger towards Atlantis is understandable, and they believe that they can achieve their goals through diplomatic means such as negotiations with Atlantis.

Atlantis is angry at them for polluting the ocean, so they can give in.

This in itself is a topic of concern to many people.

The faction headed by the Minister of Defense believes that the war has already begun, so let's talk about it!Start playing directly!
The navy is gone, and they admit defeat?

They still have nuclear warheads!
Impossible to throw in the towel!
"Oh, then did you come to a conclusion?" President Benjamin suddenly felt a sense of detachment at this moment.

A group of idiots, how can you deal with politics with your group of insects!

Then without waiting for them to speak: "You said you want diplomacy, okay, tell me first, how to do it? Which of you will go diving to the deep sea?"

Just kidding, if the Atlanteans were in the shallow sea, they wouldn't have been discovered just now.

Deep sea... Hehe, the diving depth of the most advanced submarines of mankind is just that.

In addition...

"Also, who of you know where Atlantis is?"

A group of people looked at each other.

Then President Benjamin looked at the female Minister of Defense: "You too, in war, you must know where the enemy is, right? Or are you planning to catch them with fishing nets?"

A group of people looked at each other again.

The female defense minister immediately said: "We can wait for them to come to land, and then use..."

Benjamin looked at her hopelessly.

That look looks like an idiot.

"Does anyone need to come to land? Others only need to prevent us from going to sea, and our economy will collapse!"

The United States has been played too hard by their capitalists. Deindustrialization looks good, but it is actually a self-defeating meridian.Except for a few heavy industries in the United States, all other industries have been relocated.Do you know why the military-industrial complex is so awesome?

You think it's simply because the military-industrial complex is rich?
Of course, this is one aspect, but the real reason is that military enterprises are not allowed to relocate abroad!This means that military enterprises represent a large number of jobs!All industries in the United States are degrading. The auto industry, which was once proud of itself, has declined, various light industries have disappeared, and many low-end industrial products have to be imported.Only the military industry is booming. Politicians may be able to ignore the money lobbying of those military enterprises, but they cannot refuse votes.

Here, whoever can bring more jobs and reduce the unemployment rate will have votes.

Without these, there are no votes.

In this way, who would not give face to the military-industrial complex?
After all, others grasped the point.This is also the reason why the military-industrial complex has become more and more influential in American politics after World War II.

Deindustrialization has led to the need for imports of light industry and low-end industrial products in the United States!
Without these cheap goods, the cost of living of Americans will increase rapidly. Coupled with the problems of shipping, it will inevitably lead to large-scale business closures or layoffs, and the unemployment rate will rise.

The cost of living has risen and unemployment has risen.

Naturally lead to various social problems!

The point is that the US political system has no good way, because the government cannot interfere with the market!
This is dying.

When the economy crashes, social unrest follows.

And then... nothing more.

There is no perfect society in this world, and the US government is also full of various contradictions, racial contradictions, and contradictions between rich and poor.When the economy is good, these can naturally be covered up, but once the economy has problems, then no contradictions will become big contradictions, not to mention that the United States is definitely not without contradictions, on the contrary, the contradictions are big!
Seeing that his staff members were silent, Benjamin shook his head.

Don't these people really understand this?

Do not!
They understand very well!

But they don't know what to do, that's why they are arguing, they can't make themselves look helpless.

Bad idea, but also an idea.

"Okay, listen to our rare guest. Nick Fury."

Benjamin was too lazy to say anything, but said directly to Nick Fury: "Look at what our S.H.I.E.L.D. is hiding from us."

Nick Fury thumped in his heart, and he realized that he had made an extremely low-level mistake.

He still handled it the way S.H.I.E.L.D.

What is the style of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Mysticism of course!
In other words, he did not notify the White House and Congress at all.

Nothing before, now...

"us……"

"I'm not going to listen to sophistry, tell me what I care about!" Benjamin was impatient.

Nick opened his mouth, and finally told everyone present what he knew.

This stuff can't be hidden.

"Ha!" The president laughed when he heard it: "I, the President of the United States. There was an invasion of Atlantis on my land, and I didn't know it! I got the news that it was a tsunami !I just issued a statement of silence yesterday... Now you tell me that you S.H.I.E.L.D. knew that the Atlanteans were going to invade, but you didn't say it! Then sit back and watch those attacks happen... Fark! "

President, swear words.

Nick Fury immediately added: "The reason why we chose to deal with it secretly is to prevent the situation from escalating and causing unnecessary panic.

"See, this is our S.H.I.E.L.D.!" The president looked at the two party whips and the officials who had lobbied the president not to severely punish S.H.I.E.L.D.

But he didn't say anything, but looked at Nick Fury.

"So, should I thank S.H.I.E.L.D. for doing me such a big favor?"

Nick shut up.

"Now I don't want to be held accountable, tell me what you plan to do!"

Nick Fury hesitated for a while before he revealed the plan of Mela and others.

The president doesn't want to talk anymore.

He instinctively resisted this plan... put the safety of billions of people on a savage duel?
Fake!

"Tell me, where is Kay?" The president didn't bother to say anything, he decided to lie flat.Anyway, the previous major incidents were solved by superheroes, this time he didn't bother to be a monster, so he just did it again.

Nick Fury immediately understood what the president meant: "Mr. President, please trust us in S.H.I.E.L.D., we can..."

"You can fuck! Tell me, Director Fury! What the hell did you SHIELD do?!! My country spent so much money! But what did you SHIELD do?!! Los Angeles battle, you have nothing As! The battle of New York, you dropped a nuclear bomb on the mainland! Now...you tell you it can be solved? Maybe those superheroes can't solve it, but what the hell, they don't need to spend money! Others volunteer labor!!!"

Those present finally understood what the president meant.

He's going to throw the pot away!
Although this time it was really a natural and man-made disaster, it has nothing to do with the president and the government.But the problem is that people don't care about it.They need to vent.

The president doesn't want to step down in despair, so he has to set a target!
A blame man!

then……

Nick Fury got it too.

Damn it, they originally planned to be the saviors, but in the end, they turned into the blamers in an instant!

"Mr. President, please give me some time, we can solve this matter!" Self-help must be self-help!
"How to solve it?" Benjamin said coldly.

"We have a channel to contact Atlantis!"

The president raised an eyebrow.

The anger came up again, Nima, there is indeed something hiding from me!
But thinking of the urgency of the matter, he held back his anger: "How long?"

"Three days!"

Nick Fury would like to delay a little longer, but is there a way?
He is totally nonsense!
Where did he get it from?

He just pinned his hopes on Arthur's side to succeed.Then just mess around.

Of course, he still has a hole card, but he doesn't know if it will be too late.

Just now, he pressed an old-fashioned pager.

At the same time, on the other side of the universe, a woman flying in the universe suddenly received the news, and then turned around and flew towards the earth.

"I'll give you three days!"

……

"The hidden sea in the center of the earth..." Kai finally learned the name of the world in the center of the earth from Atlanna. Looking at the naming rules, he knew that this was the name given by the Atlanteans.At the same time, Kai also knew how Atlanna came in. She was sacrificed to the Trench Clan, but the Trench Clan did not kill her, but threw her into a bottomless underwater cave. , and then a burst of uncontrollable distortion, she came here.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Atlanta was a little embarrassed: "I don't know either. I only work at the seaside. It's too dangerous here. There are all kinds of monsters on the land. And in the sea... there is Kara Sen."

How about bad luck for Atlanta.

Not to mention on land, it is indeed very dangerous.I haven't seen a creature as big as a flying snake, which is in danger of being hunted, let alone Atlanta alone.What's more unfortunate is that she can't move freely in the sea.

Because this sea area is Karason's territory!Because of the existence of this giant beast, this sea area is relatively safe. After going out here, there are all kinds of monsters everywhere. Atlanna tried to break out several times, but the result...a few times I have not explained. Lose.

So she was stuck here.

"Karason?" Kai tilted his head, as if he had heard the name somewhere.

Kai soon remembered: "The Giant Monster of the North Sea?"

Sea monster legends basically exist in every civilization, and each is different, but Kai knows that some are true.Like Kara Sen.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a giant ocean beast that was said to be [-] meters long endangered humans everywhere and attacked cities near the sea.

In the age of mythology, the sea god Poseidon conquered the giant beast and beheaded it.And built a continent out of its corpse.

It was Atlantis.

After that, countless sea monsters were born in the flesh and blood of this giant beast.

Later, the king of Atlantis subdued the largest sea monster, Karason, using the trident, an artifact bestowed by Poseidon.And tied it in the deep sea, imprisoned forever.It is not allowed to destroy Poseidon's kingdom.

Another title of Kara Sen is the Giant Monster of the North Sea.

In fact, Kay had never seen this monster before.

"This thing actually exists?"

"Yes. Not only does it exist, it also occupies the treasure of Atlantis - Neptune's Trident!"

It turns out that there is an Atlantis ruins just under this sea area, and it is impossible to know when the ruins were built.But according to the information Atlanna collected from the ruins over the years, the last emperor of Atlantis slept in the ruins with the Neptune Trident.

Atlanta naturally wanted to get the artifact trident, because she also learned from the ruins that if she wanted to leave the hidden sea in the center of the earth, she had to get the Neptune trident!

Unfortunately, Karason stopped her.

"You said...can I get that trident?"

Kay thinks something is wrong.He is very familiar with Poseidon.

But Atlanta shook her head with a wry smile: "The Neptune Trident will only recognize the blood of the King of Atlantis. This is an artifact that Poseidon gave us."

"It's not easy. After I bring it over, why don't I just give it to you?"

"It's not that simple." After saying that, Atlanta led Kai into the cave, and came to the water pool in the deepest part of the cave. "This is the entrance to the sleeping place of the former king. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
