Marvel: The Strongest in Huaqiangbei

At the same time, silver, as a metal with very good energy conductivity, is also the material for purifying magical mithril. Various magical technologies in China use this thing.

Besides, does China need money? No, no, no, what China needs is a symbolic meaning.

Since the Eight-Nation Alliance, China has embarked on a modern history of humiliation. At this moment, China must also start from here and witness China's return to prosperity and strength, and become the world's number one!

"The Shenmao Bureau will come this afternoon. Before that, we need to prepare all the silver and the 600 tons of gold that originally belonged to China."

"There is no problem with the compensation of silver. It can be quickly mobilized from major banks. As for gold."

At this time, the representative of the Federal Reserve, who had been very quiet, frowned and said, "But if the gold is handed over to China, then we will lose our last bargaining chip against China..."

That's right, because during World War II, the whole world was plunged into war, but the United States, located in the American continent, stayed out of it. At that time, the United States was very smart and proposed to help various countries preserve gold, and return the gold to various countries after the war.

At that time, America was a powerful country and, most importantly, had a stable environment. The countries at war also chose to do so.

Not only China, but other countries also have gold reserves in the United States.

At the same time, because of the U.S. dollar hegemony, gold has slowly flowed to the United States over the past few decades. Now most of the world's gold reserves are in the United States.

However, after the end of World War II, it was extremely difficult to get the gold back. Various countries had proposed to take back their own gold, but the United States always refused for various reasons. Well, the institution that keeps gold is the Federal Reserve, and the American politicians were refused when they wanted to take out their gold reserves, let alone other countries.

In America, the real boss is the Federal Reserve.

Do you think that the US dollar is the currency issued by the American government? No, no, no, it is the Federal Reserve that issues the US dollar. It is not an official organization of the United States. This is the real mastermind behind everything in the United States.

Hammer Industries, Stark Group, and the Rothschild family, no matter how powerful they are, can they be as powerful as the Federal Reserve, which is responsible for printing money?

In particular, the current Federal Reserve still stores gold from various countries. Who can offend it?

The Federal Reserve, which holds all the gold, is naturally unhappy when it hears that China wants to take away its 600 tons of gold.

That’s right, this is the nature of Americans. They don’t want to return things that belong to others.

"It doesn't matter if you refuse."

Nick Fury looked at the representative of the Federal Reserve expressionlessly and said, "The Chinese will use their own means to take back what belongs to them."

"..."

The representative of the Federal Reserve was silent. Among those who could attend the parliament here, there was no fool, and of course, there was no person of color. The black congressman who had danced happily before had been expelled recently, so he could not appear in this meeting.

But it is also true that America has always been the America of white people, and other people of color have never been recognized by these people.

Although America says every day that it rejects racial discrimination, in essence, racial discrimination has never been absent.

If the Chinese military really used their own means to take their own gold, then who can guarantee that they did not take too much?

In addition, the Federal Reserve does not want its own secrets to be exposed.

Why do you think the Fed doesn't want to return other countries' gold?

Do you really think America is a country that values ​​integrity?

The gold stored in American warehouses belongs to other people. Do they really not want to use it?

Anyway, all along, whenever other countries wanted to inspect the gold they stored, America would prevaricate and refuse with various reasons. Although they were angry, due to America's powerful military force, most countries dared not speak out.

Now, if China goes to get it itself, wouldn’t it be fun to see that the gold reserves belonging to other countries are far less than what other countries have?

and so……

"Six hundred tons of gold belonging to China will be ready this afternoon."

Although they felt sad, the Federal Reserve representatives quickly made a decision as they knew the times.

Chapter 304: The Confidence of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The American meeting ended quickly. In fact, there were only two issues. One was about the establishment of the S.W.R.D. Bureau, and the other was about compensation to China.

It was not as demanding as imagined. China only asked for 980 million taels of silver, which was the compensation the Eight-Nation Alliance demanded from the Qing government.

When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the Qing Dynasty, the damage and losses caused were far less than this number. China did not take all of that into account this time. The value of the burned-down Old Summer Palace and the countless treasures looted alone is inestimable.

However, this time, China merely asked for back all the so-called compensation. This is just the beginning for China. In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities to get back all the things that were plundered from China by other countries.

The symbolic significance of this compensation is far greater than its practical significance.

Since the Boxer Protocol, China has been completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Today, more than a hundred years later, the Shenmao Bureau is announcing the end of China's decadent era with the same compensation as in the Boxer Protocol.

Ten billion taels of silver, which is only 50,000 tons, is worth no more than 20 billion, which is far lower than the US estimate.

In this battle of New York, the economic losses caused by aliens to the United States are difficult to estimate, at least at the trillions of US dollars level. However, the compensation demanded by China is only worth 20 billion US dollars, which is unbelievable for all Americans.

After the meeting, the United States quickly prepared the compensation money. The gold and silver were also mobilized within a few hours, because according to the agreement, people from the Spear of God Bureau would come to the U.S. Congress in the afternoon to take these things away.

Time passed quickly, and by the afternoon, the group led by Zheng Xian arrived at the U.S. Capitol as scheduled.

Chen Mu was also among the entourage, in addition to China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a team of soldiers.

Everyone had a solemn look on their faces at this moment.

On the American side, those responsible for the reception were represented by Pierce and some political representatives. Of course, since there were matters of S.W.O.R.D. that needed to be discussed, Nick Fury was also present.

"Skrull blood talent, analyzing, 10%, 20%..."

After the formal meeting, the group came to a large conference room. Listening to the voice coming from the system, Chen Mu looked at Nick Fury thoughtfully.

Wow, it turns out alien races can also be analyzed?

That's not right. It should be a supernatural power that can be analyzed.

For example, aliens, ordinary races, aliens without special talents, definitely cannot be analyzed.

Moreover, the system has been analyzing racial talents, such as Thor's lightning power and Loki's ice power. These talents are all engraved in the genes and can be analyzed. What is analyzed is actually a kind of "life equation", which is only applicable to the evolutionary ability of the card of life.

Well, in addition to the innate abilities of lightning and ice, there is now an additional Skrull ability to transform.

However, this ability does not seem to be suitable for ordinary people to use. It can only be granted to a few jobs that require this ability.

It's better than nothing.

In addition, the system's prompt also let Chen Mu know that the Nick Fury in front of him did not seem to be himself.

After a lot of formal negotiations, although they were not very willing, the silver and gold were still taken out on time. Zheng Xian and others did not hide anything and directly opened a portal in front of everyone and sent these precious metals directly back to China.

In fact, Americans are still very fortunate that this time China only recovered silver and gold, and did not mention the cultural relics that were lost abroad. Otherwise, there would be no way to get them all together in a short time.

"That's the end of the matter regarding compensation for the Battle of New York."

Nick Fury stepped forward at this time, looked at Chen Mu and others calmly, and said: "S.H.I.E.L.D. is planning to establish an organization to resist alien invasions, called S.W.O.R.D."

"Oh, what then?"

After taking back the silver, Zheng Xian kept a solemn expression. After hearing what SHIELD said, he asked indifferently.

"The S.W.A.R. will build a defense line in space because it conflicts with China's space force. We hope that China will not hinder our construction and please do not invade the airspace of other countries. Well, space also counts as airspace."

It has to be said that SHIELD has a big appetite. After all, in their view, they are an "international organization" representing many countries. These countries may not even have an air force, but that does not prevent them from directly designating the space above their heads as their territory.

"First of all, the Space Force is not an organization of our Shenlei Bureau."

Zheng Xian looked at Nick Fury with a serious face and said, "It is the official branch of the Chinese army. It has nothing to do with our S.H.I.E. Bureau. What you said to me is completely useless."

"..."

Nick Fury's eyes twitched, feeling helpless. What Zheng Xian said was really the truth. The Space Force was China's official army, and the S.H.I.E. had no authority to manage it.

"But you don't have to worry too much. China will never invade other countries. If you have the ability, you can develop your own space army. China has no intention of stopping you."

"Besides, it's hard enough to deal with a weak Chitauri army. Do you have the technology to build a space defense line?"

A hint of disdain appeared on Zheng Xian's face.

Zheng Xian was very clear about the development of the Battle of New York, so he naturally looked down on the people from S.H.I.E.L.D.

In the face of danger, you run faster than anyone else, and you still have the nerve to say that you are an organization protecting the earth?

Are you kidding me?

"China doesn't need to worry about this. We at SHIELD naturally have our own channels."

Nick Fury looked calm and chose to ignore the disdain on Zheng Xian's face.

"Oh? Let me guess, could it be that invisible spaceship parked in space above America is the foundation of SHIELD?"

Zheng Xian looked at Nick Fury with amusement and said with a smile: "After the incident in New York, you SHIELD still don't learn your lesson and decide to cooperate with aliens?"

With the defense line established by the Nan Tianmen Project, China had long discovered the spaceship that had recently appeared over the United States. However, because the other party had adopted stealth and did not seem to be bringing any troops, China did not shoot it down immediately, but it did keep an eye on the other party.

So, at this moment, Zheng Xian revealed Nick Fury's confidence in one sentence.

We don’t have advanced space technology, but aliens do. SHIELD’s confidence comes from aliens.

"..."

After hearing Zheng Xian's sarcastic words, the Americans present couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Although Nick Fury said that the alien came with friendly intentions, no one knew if it was true. Even Pierce looked embarrassed.

They don't even know what the alien Nick Fury mentioned looks like or what his name is!

So, after Zheng Xian told these people this reality, they were all very embarrassed.

Chapter 305 Skrulls

"Not all alien races are as aggressive as the Chitauri."

Nick Fury's face didn't look very good, because he could never have imagined that the Skrulls' spaceship had been discovered by China a long time ago?

With China's strength, it would be extremely easy to destroy it.

So, "Nick Fury" hurriedly explained.

"hehe."

Zheng Xian said with a mocking look on his face, "In China, there is an old saying that goes, 'Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.' We can never trust aliens who are of a completely different race or an unknown species."

"..."

Nick Fury's face looked grim because he found that the council members who he had persuaded with great difficulty to agree with S.W.O.R.D. were obviously shaken after hearing Zheng Xian's words.

Yes, we are not of the same race, so why should we believe in aliens?

Why would an alien with advanced civilization and technology come all the way to help the humans on Earth?

This is actually very easy to explain. Just like the Americans, they are undoubtedly the most technologically advanced country on earth. Well, that was before. Now China is the country with the most technology. But it is undeniable that America’s technology is still very advanced compared to most countries.

You said that the Americans are willing to help those backward countries build up their national defense forces for free? And without any reward?

What a joke!

It’s good enough that America doesn’t burn, kill and loot directly, but how can it expect to help others?

Similarly, why would an alien civilization with advanced technology help the Earth?

It doesn’t make sense!

"So, Director Nick Fury, tell me, what race is that unknown alien, where does it come from, and what is its purpose?"

Looking at Nick Fury who was in a dilemma, Zheng Xian continued to question him.

"They are the Skrulls, a civilized race that loves peace."

Nick Fury took a deep breath and explained.

"Skrulls, if I remember correctly, the reputation of the Skrulls in the universe is not very good."

Chen Mu stood up at this time and said with a playful look on his face: "Because the Skrulls have the talent to change into the appearance of any other race, they have always been an unwelcome group in the universe."

After all, who would like a race that can change into any appearance to appear next to you?

How do you know when the people around you are actually aliens in disguise?

Especially, after a tiring day, when you are ready to go to bed after making love, you suddenly find that the person next to you has turned into an alien. Damn, the scene is so beautiful that you can't bear to look at it!

It seems that the transformation of the Skrulls does not change the gender at all. Even if they are male, well, aliens should not use the word "male", but "male". Male Skrulls can become the appearance of Earth women. Whether in terms of body structure or genetic level, they are exactly the same.

Well, so, turning into a man or a woman is not a problem for the Skrulls.

"The Skrulls have a talent that allows them to transform into the appearance of any other race, making them look completely indistinguishable from the real thing. That's why we often hear that the Skrulls have invaded certain civilizations and secretly controlled them."

Moreover, if it is the ability of a super Skrull, it would be extremely abnormal. While changing into the other person's appearance, it can also copy the other person's memory and even the other person's abilities, directly copying the other person at the genetic level.

Whether it's Thor from Asgard or the Hulk, they can be copied by the Skrulls and master their abilities...
