I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 539 Watchtower Project and Military Power
A few people walked out of the living room. Sure enough, the sky was dark, the earth was also in darkness, and the street lights of Manhattan were messy and noisy.

"Who is Mongo?" Bruce looked solemn.

"The toubob in the universe, there is a planet-sized space fortress serving as a cosmic battle arena, and he is coming to Earth—" Harry paused, frowning slightly, she did not sense the change in gravity from outer space.

Without gravitational changes, naturally it wasn't Mongol's "world at war" that blocked the sun's rays.

"You mean, the space fortress is blocking the sun?" Bruce frowned.

Suddenly, Harry's complexion changed, and he became extremely embarrassed, "Hal, it's time for Ion Man to appear, first light up the world, and then go to outer space to see, fly in the direction of the sun, break through the shadow area, and see what's there. "

Hal didn't know why, but still turned into a green light and soared into the sky.

Just three seconds later, the bright green light dispelled the darkness and reflected half of the earth in green.

But soon, the green gradually faded, except that there was no sun, it was not much different from a cloudy day.

"He's a natural Green Lantern." Harry said with a complicated expression.

Selena nodded, and said with emotion: "It's really a talent to master the power you just got so quickly.

But this is not surprising, when the green light ring fell on the earth, he was the first one to pick him. "

Bruce frowned and said, "You didn't follow, you don't seem to be worried that he will run into Mungo?"

"The dignified Ion Man, if he is instantly killed by a cosmic bully, then he deserves to die." Harley said seriously with the presence of the old god.

"Mongo is the owner of the arena, what is he doing on Earth?"

"Catch the Justice League go to 'World at War' as a slave gladiator and make money playing games for him."

"This"

Both Bruce and Selena's expressions were slightly distorted. This weird reason was completely beyond their expectations.

"Isn't he afraid of the 'golden nuclear bomb'?" Selina asked.

"Whoosh!" A beam of green light fell straight from the sky, interrupting the communication of several people.

"No aliens have been found in the solar system. It seems that someone has built a dam on the edge of the sun to block the light. When the water is full, it will be released at one time. That's why the earth has a dark sky for a while." Hal Jordan is not sure. .

"You mean, there will be a wave of 'Flood of Light' in the future?" Bruce's face changed drastically, "What a vicious method! With only tens of millions of times the burst of solar radiation, half of the earth can be destroyed with one move."

"There was indeed a flood, but the intensity did not cause any real damage to the earth, and it only lasted for a short moment. I easily used the 'mirror' to reflect the 'flood' to other places." Hal said.

"Is it a temptation?" Bruce asked immediately.

"Possibly" Hal was still not sure.

The sun is out again.

Selena looked at the phone and said, "It's about 3 minutes before and after."

"These 3 minutes are enough to give the earth a bad start." Bruce looked at the sky solemnly, "Harry, Hal, the two of you have the strongest space combat capabilities, and in the next few days, it is best to regularly go to outer space to patrol around .

In addition, the detailed information of World of War and Mongo is up to you. "

"I'm 'Nuclear Bomb', I can't run around, let Ion Man take more responsibility." Harley said with a blank face.

"I can handle it alone." Hal said confidently.

"Okay, be careful, now you are Ion Man, not Green Lantern, and you don't have a ring, so you can't call for help." With a word of warning, he was about to leave.

"It's almost noon, don't you want to have a meal together?" Selena persuaded.

"Seeing that the crisis is coming to the earth again, I don't have the time and mood to have dinner together." Bruce said with a serious expression.

Before leaving, he turned to Harley and said, "Tomorrow, the Justice League will submit an application to Congress. For the sake of the earth and the country of America, you'd better not stop it."

The application was submitted the next day, and a formal inquiry session on the Watchtower Project was not officially held in Congress in Washington until a week later.

This is a semi-closed internal meeting.

There were very few people participating, no more than 50 people. There were five congressmen including the speaker, three military representatives, the caravan leader and his staff, Steve Trevor, the commander of the Sky Eye Society, and two Giant Superman and Batterman.

This was not a secret meeting, and there were several prominent journalists who were not allowed to bring cameras and voice recorders, as well as several government officials.

"In the application documents submitted by Zhenglian to the Congress, there is a detailed introduction of the watchtower plan, including the preliminary design plan." Baiteman took the document and spoke first: "It is a large space station in geosynchronous orbit, and it is a justice. Alliance space base.

The purpose of its existence is mainly to monitor the information of the solar system and even the deep space of the universe, and to guard against alien enemies.

Its necessity, needless to say, we have all experienced the Kryptonian crisis, the Green Light crisis, the 'spectator dispute' during the Darkseid invasion, and the '3 minutes of white night' by Mungo, who was suspected of being the overlord of the universe a week ago.
The earth needs early warning, the first interception network needs to be established, and wars need to be stopped outside the cities of the earth. We need watchtowers. "

Baiteman finished his speech and sat back in his seat.

Father Louise first said: "Bateman, what you said is very good, the earth does need a watchtower, but its function is very militarized, and even needs the support of national defense.

May I suspect that the Justice League wants to seize some military power that should only belong to the Pentagon? "

The two leaders of the Zhenglian were silent, and Steve Trevor, who was sitting next to them, replied: "General Ryan, whether we admit it or not, the Justice League has actually interfered with the military since the moment it was established. power.

Superman can defeat the armies of the entire earth, and anyone who treats him as a mere civilian is deluding himself.

The Justice League has force, determination to fight, and has taken the initiative to assume the responsibility of defending the country. They are the army, a team of superpowers.

Since they have the attributes of soldiers, it is reasonable to build a military-type 'Earth Defense Outpost'. "

General Ryan frowned and said: "Colonel Trevor, in the agreement reached between the White House and the hero at the hero conference, there is only the right to do good deeds limited by regulations.

Their actions are limited to the judicial system and do not involve administrative and military affairs. "

Steve said without hesitation: "Then, according to today's reality, expand the power of the Zhenglian-note, I am only talking about the Zhenglian, not superheroes-take their morality and are needed by the earth today. Military actions are included in the US legal system.

It is not because of the restrictions of the old laws that prevent them from doing things that are beneficial to human civilization. "

The faces of several government representatives were not very good-looking.

General Minos said in a deep voice: "Colonel Trevor, you are a soldier, can you go to the streets to catch thieves like the police?"

"If I were purely a soldier, catching thieves would be beyond the rights of soldiers. Now I am the head of the Tianyan Society. Not to mention catching thieves, I can fight drugs, check smuggling, and patrol the border. I can do a lot. I think I can Keeping America safe.

And everything I do is legal.

My power to do these things comes from Congress, because the United States in today's special environment needs the eyes of the sky to do so. "

Steve Lang said: "Generals, congressmen, and Mr. President, it is not that Zhenglian is demanding power, but the fact that the alien threat is getting worse, forcing us to hand over part of the responsibility to them.

Another word for responsibility is power.

Another word for power is also responsibility.

We should be thankful that at least Earth still has heroes who can take on this responsibility. "

General Minos frowned and said, "Colonel, what is your position?"

He also deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the title "Colonel".

Steve didn't hesitate at all: "The purpose of my existence and the Sky Eye Society is to serve the Justice League and other heroes wholeheartedly."

Harley said this in public at the Heroes Conference.

It is indeed a departmental responsibility announced by the Sky Eye Society.

But well.
Several generals looked at him resentfully: Your responsibility is to hang the beautiful banner of serving heroes and quietly serve the government and the military.If you don't even have this kind of awareness, how did you become the head of the Tianyan Society?
Thinking of this, they began to glance at the several congressmen presiding over the meeting—the appointment of Trevor came from Congress.

Speaker John calmly responded to the generals, "The Eye of the Sky is a bridge between superheroes and the government. Colonel Trevor can express the wishes of the Zhenglian for the heroes. This is very good, and it shows that there is no problem in communication between the two parties."

"Mr. President, what do you think?" Minos turned his gaze to the horse gang leader.

The leader of the horse gang turned his attention to Harley, "Mr. Quinn, do you think the Earth must have the Justice League to take on this responsibility?"

Halle smiled and said: "The Justice League has explained its own identity in today's world, and I also ask the general and Mr. President to express your best expectations for the position of the Justice League in the current country.

The two sides should first state their positions, and then seek a compromise from the contradiction. "

After hesitating for a moment, the horse gang leader sighed: "Personally, I really hope that the hero can be an ordinary person honestly, don't stand out in the street, and don't occupy a lot of traffic in the media.

When the aliens invaded, they put on their battle robes, and under the leadership of the government, they cooperated sincerely, ordered and banned them, and risked their lives; when the aliens retreated, they took off their capes and returned to order and ordinary. "

Everyone has weird expressions.

Halle said with a dry smile, "Mr. President is an honest man."

The leader of the horse gang raised his chin towards the hero seat, "They are already so frank that they are asking for military expenses directly, why should I hide my thoughts?"

"The hero that Mr. President talks about is the most perfect hero that we and other soldiers think of." Several generals said with emotion.

Speaker John also sighed: "It is also the most anticipated hero of Congress."

Steve tilted his head and whispered to Bitman, and said loudly: "Mr. President, generals, and congressmen, please think about it carefully, is such a hero mode really perfect?

Let me give you the simplest example, why doesn't the Pentagon abolish all the establishments of the US military, wait until the war comes, and then recruit troops from all over the country?
Why does the United States obviously have no internal and external wars, but its national defense expenditure far exceeds that of other countries combined? Why not wait for the war to come, and rebuild aircraft and aircraft carriers?
You may want to say that heroes do not need to prepare for the crisis of the earth on weekdays, and the preparation work is done by the Pentagon. If it is changed to national defense, does it mean disbanding the army, and the officials in the White House who can only talk about it are usually prepared by officials in the White House. Conscription, the militia led by officials to resist foreign humiliation?

Tell me, is this absurd? "
