MTL - The Kryptonian of a Certain American Comic-Chapter 262 56. Threat
Chapter 262 56, Threats
Metropolis.
The military satellite observed the battle between Superman and the Kryptonian spacecraft, and the final result was that Superman returned to Earth with Louise.
This seems to mean that the negotiations between Superman and General Zod have completely broken down.
At least in the eyes of the military, Superman is on behalf of the earth, to negotiate with General Zod.
After realizing the seriousness of the problem, General Swanwick immediately ordered the people of the metropolis to evacuate urgently.
For a while, the entire metropolis was in chaos.
The streets, bridges, and various traffic arteries, all areas were crowded with people who fled the metropolis like crazy, and the military had to send a large number of troops to maintain order.
Even so, it is still impossible to make the fearful people obey the order.
Until Rorschach, as the Black Knight, appeared above the metropolis with Superman to appease the fear of the people.
As for Batman and Diana, they went to the industrial area on the outskirts of the metropolis to arrange the kryptonite weapon battlefield.
The people of the metropolis, seeing the appearance of the Black Knight and Superman, they seem to be drowning people grasping the last straw.
They can distrust the military, but they will definitely not distrust the two superheroes, the Black Knight and Superman.
"Black Knight, Superman, I am the colonel of the Falcon Squadron of the North American Air Defense Alliance. On behalf of General Swanwick, I invite the two of you to our temporary station."
When Rorschach and Clark appeared in the Metropolis, General Swanwick's helicopter immediately found the two.
The military is eager to learn from Superman's mouth, General Zod's attitude towards the earth.
"Let's go, go and meet the people from the military. It's best not to get them involved in this incident." Rorschach said to Clark.
Originally, Clark felt that he had nothing to discuss with the military. After all, he did not expect the military to help him at all, but Rorschach felt that it was necessary to draw a clear line with the military.
The emergence of Province is similar to the plot of the movie, where the clumsy and fun-loving military attack him and Superman indiscriminately. At this time, Rorschach will not be as spoiled by them as Superman.
Immediately, Rorschach and Clark went to the military's temporary station together with the military helicopter.
Clark came here once before.
Arriving at the temporary station of the air defense coalition for the second time, Clark felt that the number of war weapons in the military had tripled.
It's a pity, let alone double the increase, ten times, twenty times is useless.
Kryptonian fighters cannot be resisted by increasing the number of military forces on the earth.
Enter the command center.
Rorschach saw a holographic projection of a black man in a suit with shiny hair combed directly above the parliament. This person was none other than the President of the United States, Lucian.
"Your Excellency, General Swanwick, General Lane..."
Clark walked into the command center and greeted several military leaders present very familiarly.
The President and General Swanwick had known for a long time that Superman and the Black Knight would be coming, and the two squeezed out a good-natured smile at Clark and Rorschach. Only General Sam Ryan looked at Clark with complicated eyes.
Seeing his father-in-law staring at him, Clark quickly explained: "Louise is fine, I have already taken her to a safe place."
Louis and Martha are now inside the Batcave, very safe.
"Yes." General Sam Lane nodded in satisfaction after knowing that his daughter was fine.
The eyes of the others fell on Rorschach.
President Lucian was the first to speak: "Mr. Black Knight, I have heard your name a long time ago. I want to know if you are from Earth?"
"I'm not from this planet. I, like Superman, have Kryptonian blood." Rorschach explained.
He wasn't lying.
Rorschach is indeed not from this planet, not even from this universe, not to mention the Kryptonian blood.
For this answer, the president and several leaders in the military are not surprised.
Because they have long guessed that Rorschach, like Superman, is an alien.
"What about Wonder Woman, who is also a Kryptonian?" the president pressed.
Rorschach shook his head: "No, Wonder Woman is a 100% earthling. Your Excellency, there are extraordinary powers on this planet, but you don't understand it."
"Well, I hope you will disclose your identities among humans to us, because trust is the prerequisite for cooperation between the two parties..." President Lucian was an old orator as soon as he opened his mouth.
However, Rorschach would not pay attention to the president of a mere mortal country. He interrupted Lucian: "You may have misunderstood, Mr. President, I never thought of cooperating with you, and I am willing to accompany you today." Superman came here to warn you that General Zod is not something you can deal with, and instead of causing meaningless casualties, it is better to leave it to us to solve it all..."
"Are you threatening us, Black Knight?" General Swanwick looked at Rorschach in a bad tone.
Rorschach nodded: "Yes, I'm threatening you. You think there are two hundred soldiers armed to the teeth lurking outside, or thirty-six tanks outside, twenty-seven heavy armored vehicles, or number seven, In the No. 14 nuclear bomb silo, the nuclear bomb that is ready to be launched at any time, can you have the qualification to have an equal dialogue with me?"
Rorschach reported a series of military forces deployed by the military at the moment, as well as the nuclear weapons that the president had just approved to launch at any time.
His eyes swept over everyone present, including President Lucian who appeared in the form of a holographic projection, and continued: "No, you are not qualified to talk to me on an equal footing. I am not a superman, and I don't have such high moral standards. If you dare If you attack me, I will destroy all your military bases on this planet within five minutes, and then within one minute, I will rush into the White House, grab your custom-made suit and ask, Are you afraid?"
Superman's mouth twitched, and he looked at Rorschach.
He didn't know if Rorschach was telling the truth, or if he was just threatening these people.
The command room was dead silent, and Rorschach could even hear the heartbeats of the soldiers ambushing outside the room, like a great bell.
For a long time, General Sam Ryan asked with a dry throat: "Then how can you guarantee that you won't attack humans like Zod?"
"The only guarantee I can give you is that as long as human beings don't attack me, I will not do any detrimental behavior to human beings, and even to some extent, I will protect the earth. Just completely dispel your suspicion and hostility towards me, but..."
Rorschach paused, and said slowly: "I hope that before you decide to deal with me, you will think about whether you can bear the consequences. In addition, you can analyze the battle between us and Zod, I think you can only understand Once you close the gap between each other, you will be more cautious in all your next actions."
Facing Rorschach's threat, the military bosses present did not dare to show their arrogance.
Because Rorschach knows that no matter how he and Superman protect the earth and human beings, the military cannot completely trust them.
Coupled with the ancestral bullying character of the United States Federation, instead of seeking a fragile relationship of trust with no effort, it is better to show its powerful strength from the beginning and make the other party have scruples.
Trust will not let the top US federal officials understand the situation clearly.
But fear can.
The command room fell into a strange silence again. The military leaders whispered to each other and exchanged glances with President Lucian. Finally, President Lucian coughed lightly, looked at Rorschach and said:
"We are a peace-loving country. As long as you come with peace, the earth welcomes you both. However, if any of you do things that are not good for the earth or the United States, even if it is war to the end One soldier and one soldier, we will never compromise."
Peace-loving?
As expected of you, Lucian, you can say such things.
But regardless of whether these words were sincere or not, at least the two parties had a verbal agreement. In this way, Rorschach's goal was achieved.
Rorschach was about to respond, when he suddenly seemed to hear something, turned his head at the same time as Superman, and looked towards the sky.
