Great Paladin in the World of American Comics

Chapter 223 What happened on Sunday

Under the crust of more than 1 meters under the sea, in this hidden place, the prosperous capital of the kingdom of Atlantis, the underwater city is located here.

Unlike the land people on the ground who are only built on the ground, the roads are also on the ground, and at most there are bridges or a few air routes. The poor "flat" city, the Atlantean city is Is 'three-dimensional' three-dimensional, even traffic is the same.

Here, not only is it extremely prosperous and beautiful, but also the waterways and transportation network extending in all directions run through the entire city in all directions, densely packed, in a three-dimensional shape, and millions or even tens of millions of various submersibles are like spaceships , flashing position lights of various colors shuttled through it in an orderly manner, making it look like an interstellar city.

In fact, the prosperity and technological level of the capital of Atlantis is no worse than that of ordinary interstellar cities!

Even here alone, just such a capital of the Kingdom of Atlantis, its economic content, or GDP, whether it is per capita or in total, absolutely exceeds the volume of North America on land. People can't imagine it no matter what.

Otherwise, it would not have given such strong military and technological support when Renault fought against Thanos and Darkseid in such a short period of time.

To be honest, if Raynor hadn’t obtained the legendary golden trident first and controlled the sea, the lifeblood of all Atlanteans, and had the support of several kingdoms and defeated King Orm in the war, It is absolutely impossible for him to become the lord of the seven seas and the king of the kingdom of Atlantis!

But it is completely unnecessary to discuss that kind of thing now, because it has become an established fact that Renault controls the Seven Seas. He is already the legal king in the Constitution and Law of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and Mera is because Renault is not in Atlantis. It is already a certainty that she will be the acting queen and queen of Sri Lanka at the time.

And now, Mera, the queen and queen of Atlantis, is lying lazily in the palace of the royal palace, listening to her Minister of State Vico give her a report, somewhat absent-mindedly.

"All right."

"Contact with people on the land must be cautious. It is impossible to directly and fully open Atlantis, and that is not practical."

"How about this!"

"First go to the middle of the Pacific Ocean that the people on the land said, find a non-plate active area, preferably the one with islands, and then build a tourist-type underwater sightseeing town about [-] meters in the shallow sea, and then build a new one on the island. Transfer station."

"Let's try to communicate with the land people like that first..."

Mera gave a relatively safe way of communication between land and sea in her opinion, that is, to create a new place where both parties can try to contact each other. Both land people and Atlanteans can try to understand each other. way of life, that's it.

And even if there are any problems or risks, they can be controlled in that limited area so as not to affect both parties.

"Yes……"

"But Queen, most of the islands in the Pacific Ocean have been occupied by land-based countries. It may not be easy for us to find such a place."

Land people like to occupy territory, Vico knows it, and he also knows that land people have more than 200 countries, and the relationship between them is even more complicated, which is completely different from their current unified and powerful seabed. This will make it difficult for what they want to do, such as what Mera just said, building a new shallow sea town or something.

"Let me think about it first."

Mera, who was lying on the throne, began to frown slightly and ponder. Because she often needs to go to land, she is barely a half-lander and knows how to deal with certain things of land people.

"so!"

"You go to contact the Mograine Consortium and let them think of a way. They are mainly responsible for the land."

"correct!"

"You should go to their housekeeper, Mr. Tom Riddle, and convey my opinion to him. I think he will arrange everything."

Soon, Mera thought of such a good idea.

Anyway, she knows that Renault doesn't care about these things. Now the forces under Renault's command probably look like this:
She Mera controls the Seven Seas and the Kingdom of Atlantis, the Mograine Consortium controls the economy and politics of the land, and is responsible for coordinating matters such as land countries. Of course, the man-in-law Hestia continues to be in charge of the Amazon warriors, and the Sif The damned Asgardians are in charge of the Legion of God's Domain, and Kara Danvers and those Kryptonians are mainly responsible for maintaining the supernatural events on the earth's land and the law and order in the general environment. The little girl crystal of the Inhumans seems to be authorized to take charge Looking at the moon?

In the end, Sally Whitemane was in charge of the core Church of the Holy Light and ruled over almost all legions. Her power was not insignificant, and she was the most jealous of Mera!

Therefore, now that the Atlanteans want to do what she decided just now, they can go directly to the Mograine Consortium and the Mr. Steward, and there will be nothing wrong.

"Yes!"

"The old minister understands."

Nodding, Minister of State Vico operated a certain holographic interface in his hand, wrote something in the memo and closed it after obtaining the relevant authority from Queen Mera. One thing is settled.

"Queen!"

"In addition to those things just now, there is one more important thing that requires your authorization."

"It's like this..."

After reporting to Mera on economic and transportation issues, as well as the limited communication and contact with land people, such as the construction of a tourist-oriented shallow sea city, I used to be a [-]-year-old boy, but Now, due to various reasons, such as the need to balance the forces of all parties and other factors, so that Vico, who has successfully mixed into the position of Minister of State Affairs, began to report another thing slowly:
"The old minister actually wanted to say it a long time ago."

"The hundreds of space battleships that have just laid their keels in the factory berth, what should they do?"

"Also, should we continue to produce the original construction task of thousands of ships?"

Quickly operating on the holographic screen in front of him, Vico quickly collected a large number of construction tasks and related lists that were densely packed, and directly transmitted them to the holographic large in front of the Mera Throne. on the screen.

"??"

"Vico, why do you ask that?"

"Is there something wrong with it?"

Meera didn't look at the data and reports at all. She just waved her hand, shrunk them down and moved them to a corner, then frowned and asked her minister of state affairs.

"Is such that……"

"Queen, we all know that the war is over now, isn't it?"

"Since Darkseid and Thanos have been wiped out, I think there is no need to produce those battleships anymore?"

"Or, at least don't have to make so many more?"

"After all, the militaristic development of combat weapons will still have some impact on our submarine economy. It will make the production of the factory seriously tilted towards the military industry. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid there will definitely be some small troubles."

"Our original tax revenue was very good, but if it continues like this, there will be a deficit in at most two years, which is not a good sign."

Although the Kingdom of Atlantis is very rich, but after the conflict of King Om and the consumption of the space war not long ago, the economic situation of Atlantis began to have problems, because the war is very hot. For money, whether it is a space war or an undersea war, those damaged warships are wealth, so, as the Minister of State Affairs, Vico definitely needs to ask about this matter.

"This one……"

Mera did not rush to make a statement, but continued to lie on the throne of this magnificent and sci-fi palace, frowning at the minister of government affairs who was talking eloquently and seemed to make sense.

"Vico."

"Is it because we don't have enough resources in the seabed, that's why you have doubts?"

Mera thought for a while, then asked hesitantly.

"Back to the queen!"

"Not in a short period of time. After all, the resources of the ocean are dozens of times that of the land, but..."

"Thousands of warships are still too many."

"If so much steel that originally belonged to the ocean and the earth is made into warships, and then let them fly into the universe, it will affect the earth more or less, and even affect the orbit of the earth and the distance between the planets in the solar system. balance issue."

"This is a warning given to me by the Royal Academy of Sciences. I think, Your Majesty, do you need to read it?"

With that said, Vico found a document on the holographic screen in front of him again, and then projected it onto the holographic screen in front of the Mera Throne.

"I remember……"

"People on land have a saying, 'Be prepared for danger in times of peace', right?"

"Vico, my old friend, we can't wait for the enemy to come before rushing to produce warships. I believe we have learned enough lessons from this war."

Looking at that document and thinking about the space fleet that was almost wiped out this time, Mera made a decision without much consideration.

"In short, the number of thousands of warships must not be less than one!"

"The production must be completed, but the progress can be slowed down appropriately, and try not to cause too much burden on the Kingdom of Atlantis."

"Also, if you don't want to search for resources on the seabed too much, I allow you to find a suitable place in the universe to build a factory."

"As for the issue of balance, let's follow the method of the Royal Academy of Sciences."

"Flying multiple spacecraft from the earth, just pull back as many materials as possible from the outside of the universe, and try to maintain a basic balance."

Mera doesn't want to pay too much attention to those academic and unverified issues. After all, the impact is measured in hundreds of millions of years, so she doesn't need to worry too much.

"But!"

"Queen……"

"Is it necessary to maintain such a strong military force in peacetime?"

Vico seems to want to hold on, in his opinion, the earth can maintain a military force of hundreds of warships.After all, when the time comes, whether it's soldiers' salaries, energy sources, or other logistical issues, the kingdom of Atlantis will be responsible, and those land people who are scattered in the sand will definitely not be able to count on them.

And once the size of the fleet is too large, even if the resources of the ocean are extremely rich, even if the kingdom of Atlantis is strong, it will be an extra burden after all. If it can save a little, it is always better to save a little.

"Have!"

"I know Renault, he will not agree to cuts."

"Although Thanos and Darkseid are indeed defeated, they are not the only enemies in the universe!"

"Believe me, Vico, a strong military is never wrong."

"So, go ahead and finish the production of those hundreds of warships with their keels laid, and then you can send people into the universe to find resources and build factories in suitable places."

"The construction task can be less urgent, but the progress cannot be stopped!"

Mera made a decision in a few words, and quickly dismissed the request.

She didn't know if that kind of thing was right, but she only knew that she had to complete the task set by Renault unconditionally, and that was what she should do most.

"well said!"

Suddenly, a voice came.

"Your Excellency, Minister Vico, you are right. Maybe those battleships will not be useful for the time being, but I would rather they stay in the port forever and rot, and I don't want to be unable to take them out when I want to use them." .”

"On this point, you have to listen to your queen!"

At the same time of applauding, Renault appeared from a portal with a smile, and then he floated straight forward and hugged the slightly surprised and pleasantly surprised Arter who was standing up from the throne and floating towards him Queen Mera of Lantis.

"Honey……"

"I'm here to see you."

Immediately afterwards, Renault and Mera completely ignored the big light bulb Vico floating below the palace hall, and the two hugged each other directly and began to gnaw on each other.

"My Renault..."

Mera began to indulge in Renault's caress. She thought just now that Renault must be fascinated by those guys on land, and she didn't want to come to the seabed to find her as a queen.

"..."

"Your Majesty, then..."

"The old minister will take his leave first."

Now that this point has been reached, and now that Lei Nuo has appeared and supported Queen Mera's opinion, it is difficult for Vico to say anything.

So, after taking a last look at the two people in front of the throne, he didn't ask any more questions with a wink, and after a salute, he ignored the two men and women, turned around, and quickly walked from the undersea palace. Floating out of the gorgeous hall.

"Meera..."

"This Sunday... is it convenient for you?"

"Reno~"

"Huh?"

"Of course it's convenient!"

"However, should we go back to the bedroom?"

"it is good!"

"bring it on."

Soon, not long after the minister of state affairs left, the two kings of Atlantis also quickly left the throne.
