Vol 7 Chapter 62: Struggle within the rules

Inside the White House, Clark, who has become president, is also arguing with several military generals. The content of the wrangling is naturally about how the successfully whitewashed mechanical superman dealt with this matter under Leticia Luther and the mechanical superman not long ago, and this wrangling lasted for three days.
"Gentlemen, how many more times do I need to emphasize! Don't try to do what we still can't understand and control, especially since we are now in a high position. Every decision is related to the lives and property of millions of people!"
At the meeting, Clark, as the highest military commander, again accused the military generals of playing with fire. Because they really want to agree to Superman, Leticia's condition. It is to make Superman appear as a military superman. During his time as a military superman, Superman has the right to move freely, but he cannot leave the earth or leave his homeland. The departure needs to be reported to the military. Secondly, it needs to be reported every week. Set aside a day in the military’s science and technology department for military scientific and technical personnel to conduct research on Apocalypse technology.
Clark 100% disagrees with this approach of the military. The technology of Apocalypse is just like the technology of its own mother planet. It is not something that the current earth can understand. It can understand part of the surface, but it is not the time to go deep into those things. The irony is that as the nominal military commander, Clark’s proposal was not accepted by these generals at all, because behind these generals, there are also the support of other parliamentarians, those who are rich and powerful.
"Mr. President, I understand your worries, but you should also be aware that the United States now lacks sufficient power to deter the international community. You are no longer a superman, but in that country on the other side of the ocean, their extraordinary power Not inferior to us, especially they have a longer history than us. The world’s largest population and huge population base give them the soil for the birth of extraordinary people, not to mention that they already have a Chinese superman. The Chinese Superman who lost to you!"
"We have too! My son, he has inherited my blood, inherited my genes, and is even stronger than me in some respects."
"Yes, but your son is only 12 years old this year. This is his biological age. As far as I know, if he follows the normal time, he is only three years old now. A child whose physical and mental age is not proportional, How to fight an adult Chinese Superman? And you said, whether your son will become a Superman in the future depends on his own performance. Before that, we also need a Superman, one who can fight the Chinese Superman. A superman who resists courtesy."
"So why do we continue to maintain this idea of ​​treating each other as an imaginary enemy? The times have changed. General Helen, in this era when extraterrestrial civilization visits the earth from time to time, if we still play this kind of boring nest fight, then we will always Can't step into the starry sky and start the next era!"
"Pay attention to your words, Mr. President! This is not a fight in the nest. It is just to determine and maintain our country's status. Even if you want to step into the stars and start the next era, you must be led by us. Don't forget how our country got up. Yes, Mr. President! The future you have planned is very good, but don’t forget, Mr. President, even if you can be re-elected, you cannot exceed three terms. Twelve years is enough to happen. What I need to see is right now!"
Regarding Clark's rhetorical question, General Helen, who is the representative of the military, was also talking about his views there. He does not deny that Clark’s ability to govern during his tenure as president was once a superman, even if he is no longer a superman, he is no worse than ordinary people in terms of intelligence, vision, and skill. But Clark’s biggest weakness is that his roots are too shallow, even negligible.
If Clark is still Superman at this time, then he will definitely support all Clark's decisions on Mechanical Superman, because the weight of the word Superman is more than any guarantee. How shallow is the foundation? In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are younger brothers, but Clark is no longer Superman. Assuming that there will be a battle between nations in the future, the opponent has a powerful combat power comparable to Superman. What's on the side?
Anti-matter weapons? Don't be funny, it is still unknown whether anti-matter weapons can cause harm to Superman. Rather than pin their hopes on this, it is better to have another superman on their side. And Jonathan's age made them unable to have confidence in this, so this mechanical superman who returned from Apocalypse, absorbed the technology of Apocalypse, and has a human identity, is the best choice.
Under such disputes, the final result of this meeting is naturally that the minority obeys the majority. Robot Superman will officially become a military superman this afternoon, and he has the right to move freely within his country. After the decision was made, all the generals in the military also left. Only Clark was sitting there worrying about it. But across from Clark, there was another general who did not leave. His name was Sam Lane.
Of course, he has another identity, Clark's father-in-law, Louise Lane's father.
"You look like this, but you don't have the style when you were speaking at the Capitol at the time." Seeing Clark's headache and helpless appearance at this time, General Sam also joked there.
"If you want to laugh, just laugh, Sam, I admit that I am really embarrassed by this appearance, but how can they have such thoughts. Can you trust the things from the Apocalypse? So many experimental accidents, have they forgotten the lesson?"
"Isn't there a saying that is well said? The lessons humans have learned from history are that they will never learn lessons. They are not aware of the dangers. Of course, I do not rule out that some people have been bought by Leticia, but just like Helen As the general said, he is a soldier. As a soldier, he will never pin his hopes in the hands of an imaginary enemy, even if this imaginary enemy does not exist."
"Other countries are imaginary enemies, isn't the Apocalypse star? The Apocalypse star is a proper enemy who has always been attacking the earth."
"Yes, the Apocalypse is the enemy, but the Apocalypse is far in the sky, and the mechanical superman is in front of you. They can't fight the entire Apocalypse, but a mechanical superman, they still have their ideas. Child, believe me, you are one A good hero, a good man, and a good president, but in terms of politics, you still cannot say that you are a good politician or a good politician."
Stepped forward, patted Clark on the shoulder, and then General Sam left. And Clark was also sitting in the office, thinking about what General Sam had just said. The end of today’s meeting means that Superman’s whitewashing is inevitable. Leticia and Superman put everything on the face with them. In the game, if Clark insists on arresting Superman and Leticia now, the backlash will be even greater and even more uncontrollable.
The identity of a superhero and the identity of a president have become the shackles that restrict them from doing things. But the reason why General Sam left him to say such a thing is not without reason. People can restrict themselves under the rules. Similarly, he can also shame them under the rules. Therefore, he has to find the key to breaking the game. Thinking carefully about the last words of General Sam, Clark also shouted directly as if he had understood something.
"Amanda, prepare a car for me, I'm going to the Metropolis!"
Nacino City, Planetary Detective Agency. Since visiting Constantine and Lucifer died without a problem, Ke Wen shut himself in the agency and began to sort out all the current situation. Mechanical Superman is on the one hand, on the other hand, in the magic world that he doesn't know, there are also major events happening, but his biggest problem now is that he doesn’t know what happened in the magic world. No one tells him what happened, Kang Just a few words from Stantin can't help himself.
Not only the problems in the magical world, but also the mechanical superhuman incident that he discovered recently because of his cosmic journey, and the two incidents of Batman acting alone and missing, all caused Ke Wen to be devastated during his thoughts.
The first is the mechanical superman, just because the mechanical superman and Lex, the mother of the two Lena brothers and sisters have a leg, Ke Wen is a bit unacceptable. He knows that the relationship between heroes and heroes, heroes and villains is chaotic in the Meiman worldview, but that's not the case. Forget it, when he jumped out of Superman to engage in trouble with Leticia, this set of operations hadn't been seen before by Ke Wen, as if the two of them had suddenly become awkward.
Instead of jumping back and fighting as before, adopting roundabout tactics, using the mass base and public opinion to restrict the actions of themselves and others, making their defense a joke. There is also the issue of the Destruction Day. I have dealt with the Destruction Day of a small team in a row. Although they are all subtypes, this kind of performance is different from the Destruction Day in the comics, and it also makes Ke Wen feel difficult.
Ke Wen also noticed that since he obtained the real name of Kamen Rider, the entire DC universe did not move like the previous trajectory, but the subsequent changes also caught Ke Wen by surprise.
"Will their changes be related to the memory rebirth storm? The mechanical superman’s changes are understandable. If they are really affected by the memory rebirth storm, he has nothing to blame. But there is a shadow of Darkside behind him. In the personality of Darkside, he must have noticed the restart of the universe early on, but for him, if the restart is not restarted, his goal will not change, to conquer Superman and conquer the earth.
As for Batman, missing twice, the enemy incident, I went to the dark multiverse in advance, although I did not come into contact with Batman there, but could it be because of my trip to the dark multiverse that made me laugh wildly The Bats noticed the existence of my unknown number in advance, and set out in the Guangming Multiverse even earlier. But it shouldn't. They can't make it through. Without the five metals and Batman as the medium, how can they come over? Doctor Manhattan? Is he such a person? "
A series of changes also made Ke Wen gradually think about the possible reasons in his mind. The black hand behind the scenes, but until now, the only thing that Ke Wen thinks may be behind the scenes is the Dr. Manhattan who disappeared after the Darkside War. Up. It's just that Ke Wen, who was on the normal timeline, didn't know that Dr. Manhattan had been locked up a long time ago, with the future self of the three branches. His accusation against Dr. Manhattan is totally unconvincing.
After scratching his scalp, Ke Wen still had no idea about the more than a dozen hairs that had been broken because of his hard thinking and meditation. At this moment, the sound of the key opening the door rang, interrupting Ke Wen’s thoughts. When he looked up, he saw Kara came forward holding a bunch of vegetables from the supermarket and put the vegetables aside. For this moment, Ke Wen The embarrassment didn't care too much, and he stepped forward and turned on the TV.
"What's wrong, Carla?"
"You haven't contacted us for a few days. I have to come over and see you. Besides, you have to see this."
On TV, Ke Wen also saw relevant news. It was nothing more than a summary of the meeting between Clark and the military in the morning at the White House on how to deal with Superman. The mechanical superman who was whitewashed by the military stood by Leticia. From the beginning, he was acting. The mechanical superman who was controlled and then liberated was also there talking about his fault, and then there were various guarantees, and then there was Leticia’s supporter told the media and told the public that Lex Enterprise would cooperate with the military’s weekly inspections of Superman.
Confirm that Superman is not controlled by Apocalypse, and hope that Superman can atone for his sins and become a real superman. Ke Wen was also speechless for a while watching the hypocritical attitude of the two on TV.
"Damn, these two people, singing duo turn is pretty good, but playing this kind of routine makes it harder to deal with them."
After listening to Ke Wen's complaints, Cara just looked at Ke Wen. In the past few days, because of the reasons for the abnormal situation of several incidents, Ke Wen is also sloppy now. Coming forward, Kara also hugged Ke Wen in his arms, feeling the touch on his face, and Ke Wen stopped thinking for a while.
"Well, don't think about it so much. Since you came back, you have not stopped. Take a good rest. You can see what you are like."
"Before you say this, can you let me go first, I always feel that you are going to smother me in it..."
Kara was embarrassed by the urn-sounding words, and he hurriedly let go. Seeing Kara's embarrassment, Ke Wen also laughed out loud.
"Well, it's just a joke. I'm not at this level of cooking. I'm not hungry. I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you."
"I bought all the dishes, so I'll make them."
"Don't argue with me about this kind of thing. I'm your boyfriend. There's no reason why your boyfriend makes your girlfriend suffer. Just sit and wait to eat."
He got up and slightly adjusted his hair style, and only then did Ke Wen walk towards the kitchen holding the vegetables that Kara had bought. And Kara was also sitting on the sofa, looking at Ke Wen's busy back in the kitchen, and couldn't help laughing.
On the other side, at the Metropolitan Hospital, Lex was in the ward with his sister Lena looking at the words of his biological mother and Superman in a media interview. An angry Lex clenched his fist, a corner of the bed sheet. All were torn off by Lex. He was already extremely angry about what his biological mother had done, and it was precisely because of this anger that he dazzled him, so that he gave him twice in vain, and was sent to the hospital by his biological mother both times.
Now, watching the biological mother who took everything from him and the mechanical superman acting in front of the media, Lex was helpless. Because everything about him was taken away by Leticia, apart from his own surname, he has no capital to use against Leticia. Lena on the side could also understand her brother's anger, she was happier than Lex, at least Lex used a false memory to shape her a perfect childhood, although in the end, she also knew it was fake.
But before that, she did not worry too much, she was a carefree princess. It's just that the princess has grown up now, has gone through ups and downs, and is also transforming in the direction of the queen. Only before that, she had to take care of Lex. If her elder brother once again gave it away because of anger, she would really regret it if something happened.
"You don't have to stare at me like this, Lena, I'm fine." Noting the look in his sister's eyes, Lex also explained stubbornly.
"If you are really good, the nurse who came to take care of you before will not be scared away by you. I am not one of those little girls, so I opened my mouth and it's time to take the medicine!"
Facing Lena's strengthened physique, Lex had no choice but to let Lena at the mercy of it. While Lena was feeding Lex and drinking medicine, the door of the ward opened, and Clark, who had come from the White House, also appeared at the door. Seeing Lex’s helpless but helpless expression of being forced to take the medicine, she laughed. Come.
"Huh! What are you doing!" Noting Clark's arrival, Lex didn't give him a good face, and said unceremoniously.
"I'll come to see you, otherwise, what am I doing, am I making fun of you?"
"Then you see it now, you can go, hurry up to deal with your country's major affairs, and this guy, is it possible that you really want to become a superman."
"Ha, why didn't I find you so cute before, Lena, can you give us a little space?"
Clark also joked about Lex's bad mouth, and at the same time asked Lena for advice. Glancing at Lex, who turned her head away from the window, and then at Clark, who was sincerely smiling, Lena also wisely put the medicine aside and said to Clark, "Remember to let him drink the medicine."
Nodded, Lena also consciously left the ward. And Clark was also sitting on the edge of the ward, looking at Lex. Noting the news being broadcast on the TV, Clark also turned the TV off, knowingly.
"Why, I'm afraid I'll see you embarrassed, haven't you gotten Superman?"
"No, I'm afraid that you will get more and more angry as you watch, and you will get angry into the morgue."
"Hehe, then I really thank you, I won't enter the morgue if you are killed by the Day of Destruction!"
"I know, you might even wear a superman armor and play me there."
"you···"
Clark honestly admitted that after following Lex's words, Lex was also speechless for a while, although the situation Clark said was not impossible. But that was when he realized that there could be no Superman on earth, and he had to play the role of Superman.
After taking a sigh of relief, Lex, who avoided being injured by Clark's anger, looked at Clark and asked him about his purpose.
"So what are you doing when you came here to find me this time? I'm sorry, but Superman was not dealt with? If that's the case, I forgive you. You played with my mother, it's really not enough, at least there is no money and His personal advantage is inevitable."
"I know that, indeed, as the two big companies behind me, now the person is Leticia. I really can't do anything. But that is in terms of money, but in terms of contacts, don't I have you? ?"
"What do you mean? I have nothing right now. She swept me out. The guys on the board were also controlled by her. You can't help you if you find me."
For Clark's words, Lex was also speechless for a while. But as a word of comfort, it did make him much more comfortable.
"I'm looking for you not because of any resources, but because you are Lex Luthor. In the past several restarted universes, I am the most admired and difficult enemy. Your strength is not in those weird The equipment of yours, but your brain, the superior wisdom. Without these things, would you not be Lex Luthor without these things, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com?"
"Of course not, so what do you want to say?"
"I want to say that they play with us in the rules. Indeed, we can't move them now, but they don't dare to show their true colors now. Otherwise, doing so many shows in the past is just a waste of work? If that's the case, then Let's play with them, aren't we consciously handing over the right of supervision to us, but in terms of studying Superman, who can compare to your Lex Luthor?"
Clark's words made Lexmouth start to speak. He had been dazzled by anger before and had too much negligence in doing things. Now, Clark also pointed him a clear path. If you want to supervise it, then I will supervise it. I will study you in front of you. As long as I find any evidence of your contact with the Apocalypse, you, the superman, don’t have to be taken. Disassembled as part of material research.
"So you plan to hire me as a member of the military to research and supervise Superman?"
"No, it's the supervisor."
"The problem is, my hiring fee is very high. Can you get your presidential salary?"
"It's okay, this time the military and the Congress are paying for it. I still have the power to sign."
"Ah...you said that when you were a Superman back then, how could you not be as smart as you are now. If you have the brain as you are now, I wouldn't be enough for ten of them."
"That's because you were the one who was fighting with me at the time. If you were thinking about it, it would be more practical to use your fists, don't you think?"
In the ward, Lex and Clark also looked at each other and smiled. For a while, the air was full of joy. And the mechanical superman who was being interviewed on the other side also felt a chill hit, and couldn't help but squeak in his heart.
