Chapter 457 American "gentleman": Don't worry, just pretend you didn't see it!
The "self-destruction" that happened to the little devil was naturally not a "natural punishment", but man-made.
It's very simple to say, it's just Lin Hao snapping his fingers.
After collecting the six infinity stones, you can make rules for the universe. Thanos can wipe out half of all life in the universe with a snap of his fingers. The rules are just for the population of a mere country. The backlash to Lin Hao is not as good as the two previous " Brush points”.
Of course, Lin Hao also got points this time. Although he was not a major participant, the value would be reduced proportionally, but Director Lin didn't care about this little bit.
The main purpose is to allow compatriots to take revenge with their own hands, awaken their oppressed blood, vent their accumulated hatred, and get rid of their inner demons.
More effective than simply snapping your fingers and killing all the little devils.
Moreover, such large-scale strange events can act as an excellent deterrent and buy China valuable construction time.
So when the news reached the other side of the ocean, the first reaction of the White House and the Pentagon was to disbelieve it.
"Impossible, only God can do this!"
After hearing the reports sent back to the Foreign Affairs Department from the embassies in China and Japan, Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring screamed angrily.
"I'm afraid that's true." Secretary of State Cordell Hull said solemnly.
The United States does not have a foreign ministry in the traditional sense. Its diplomatic functions are handled by the State Department led by the Secretary of State. The intelligence uploaded by the embassy in China and Japan is gathered with the current Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who is Roosevelt's old friend and best partner. , accompanied him through almost the entire presidential term.
Cordell took out two large portfolios and poured out the black-and-white photos inside.
"These are the scenes taken by the envoys to China and Japan in Shanghai and Tokyo. They even took videos of Japanese people self-destructing..."
With so much evidence in front of them, these American gentlemen slumped down on the sofa.
"Incredible, incredible!"
Roosevelt behind the "Resolute Table" looked solemn and asked: "Has Mr. Stark arrived?"
Tony Stark has become the communication messenger between the two Americas in time and space, because there is also a Howard Stark in the time and space of 1939. He is also a big businessman trusted by the White House and the Pentagon. Through their "father-son relationship", in 1939 America is more willing to believe Tony.
The American elites in 2023 have no choice, because their actual leader Nick Fury is a nigger and naturally cannot be trusted by the same people 80 years ago.
"We have been notified and will be here soon," Roosevelt's secretary reported.
A moment later, Tony arrived in a hurry. In fact, he had already installed a communication system in the Oval Office, but these older generations were still more accustomed to confidential conversations in person.
"Friday", who can intercept radio waves, had actually told Tony about what happened in China and the Toyo Islands, but he was only surprised for a moment before he understood the intentions of the Divine Spear Bureau and Lin Hao.
According to Tony's idea, just call the president and tell him the reason. There is no need to waste time on a trip. After all, he still has a lot to do.
But these older generation "gentlemen" are too scared!
Tony found out that he had to provide psychological counseling like a kindergarten teacher, which was really fucking bad.
After entering the Oval Office with reluctant thoughts, Tony showed basic courtesy.
"Good afternoon, gentlemen."
"Hello, Mr. Stark." Some people in the office stood up and shook hands with him.
Tony Stark was born in 1970 and will be fifty-three years old in 2023. He is really no younger than most people in this office, but he looks younger thanks to future technology. After a period of meaningless pleasantries, Roosevelt couldn't wait to ask: "Tony, do you know what happened in China and Japan?"
"Yes, I have just launched a few satellites, which are already orbiting the earth and taking pictures..."
Tony briefly introduced the functions of the satellite. Although he hasn't sent it yet, it will only take one sentence when he goes back. It's hard to say that he used artificial intelligence to intercept their radio signals and decipher the contact code, right?
"Gentlemen" value personal privacy very much!
When they heard about the capabilities of the satellite, the eyes of several generals from the Pentagon lit up and they wished he could provide more.
Roosevelt quickly brought the topic back: "Tony, who do you think did this?"
As a "gentleman" with a higher education, Roosevelt naturally did not believe that this was a "natural punishment" and must be man-made.
Otherwise, why would there be no divine punishment until now?
Why didn't the Eight-Power Allied Forces come out when they entered the Forbidden City?
When they built San Francisco and Los Angeles, they defrauded shiploads of "pig" from China. The bones of countless Chinese workers were buried under the Great Western Railway.
Why was there no divine punishment at that time?
"Spear Bureau." Tony replied without thinking.
"How is it possible for humans to do this?" Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring asked: "How do they achieve precision strikes?"
Tony took a deep breath, thought for a moment and finally decided to tell the truth. Although the truth was cruel, it should always give these people a clear understanding.
Whether you are unable to recover by then or whether you are deliberately escaping from it, this is a future that you must face.
He took out a small metal round cake from his pocket, placed it on the coffee table and pressed it lightly. The light emitted upward formed a projection screen.
"There were six singularities when the universe first opened, and they turned into six infinity stones. There are them in every parallel universe..."
In just a few minutes, Tony reshaped the worldview that had been formed over decades for the "gentlemen" in the office.
"As long as the six infinity stones are collected, new rules can be established for the universe, such as randomly erasing half of the life in the universe, or bringing back life that has been erased for five years."
Facing the surprised and dull eyes of these people, Tony smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, these are things that our universe has experienced before, so there is no need to doubt its authenticity."
Roosevelt was silent for a long time before holding back a sentence: "Tony, do you mean that the Spear Bureau used the six infinity stones to establish a rule for the Japanese? A rule that will self-destruct as long as it is malicious to the Chinese?"
"Yes, the Spear Bureau has a complete set of six Infinity Stones." Tony replied.
"Hiss..." The temperature in the Oval Office became much hotter.
"Then...doesn't that mean..." A general from the Pentagon said tremblingly: "They can also set the same rules for Americans?"
You can't beat or scold Chinese people, you can only worship them like your ancestors?
How to play this?
Didn’t you see that the majestic emperor was played to death?
"If that person is willing to use this method to relieve his boredom..." Tony smiled bitterly: "Yes, he can do it, it's just a matter of snapping his fingers."
"Gentlemen, something happened!" The door of the office was pushed open, and another secretary who was responsible for collecting and sorting out emergency communications from various departments for the president came in and hurriedly reported: "There are Japanese incidents in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places. Chinese immigrants committed self-destructions under unknown circumstances, and Chinese immigrants are attacking communities where Japanese immigrants live.”
"Tell the police everywhere to leave it alone!" Secretary of State Cordell Hull was in tune with his old friend and immediately said: "As long as the Chinese don't spread the attack, just pretend you didn't see it."
