I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 1008 Different Situations Between DC Superheroes and Marvel Heroes
In mid-November, a week after Luther was elected president.

US Congress.

A report on the Justice League and Watchtower is going on between several congressmen and Steve Trevor.

"Why didn't a single hero from the Justice League come?" Senator Vincent said angrily.

This is a semi-public inquiry report meeting. Not everyone can go in and listen in, but many well-known journalists are allowed to enter.

Steve Trevor, with his cropped hair, a clean-shaven chin and no stubble, looked younger and more energetic.

There are five councilors sitting on a long arc-shaped table, and his seat is at the dot of the arc, about the same distance as several councilors, surrounded.

In the arc-shaped space between him and the MPs, more than 20 reporters were holding cameras, sitting or squatting.

"This cannot be blamed on the heroes. Heroes appear when people's lives and property are threatened. Members of Parliament chose this time for the report meeting, and it happens that the heroes of Zhenglian are on missions.

Compared with the lives of the people, whether to attend the report meeting in person is not important, is it right, Senator? "Steve said calmly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Senator Vincent choked, what could he say?
Said that the lives of the people can be delayed a little bit?
Does he still need the popular vote?
He, the MP, was also elected.

"Colonel Trevor, can you be questioned on behalf of the Justice League?" asked Jiedi, a 50-year-old female congressman.

"I would like to remind all congressmen." Steve looked around the House of Representatives and said seriously: "Theoretically, Congress can raise questions about the Justice League, but it is not qualified to require the Justice League to attend government meetings.

The Justice League belongs to Earth, not America.

Of course, the Justice League is not unfettered, and the Sky Eye Society where I belong is the direct supervision department of superheroes.

Whether you want to ask about the finances of the Justice League or the operation status of the Watchtower, according to normal judicial procedures, you should contact me directly. "

After hearing this, some congressmen immediately showed dissatisfaction.

Senator Vincent, who was sitting in the middle, remained calm and said in a deep voice: "Colonel Trevor, members of the US Congress have tried many times to intervene in the internal affairs of the Justice League, but failed.

As long as it happens on the territory of the United States, members of Congress are qualified to know the details.

Even if it happens outside the territory of the United States, as long as it endangers the national security of the United States, we still have the right to defend our national interests.

Therefore, it is extremely incorrect for you to say that Congress is not qualified to require Zhenglian heroes to attend the government report meeting. "

Steve smiled lightly: "Your Excellency, Congress is not qualified to interfere with the actions of the Justice League.

On top of me, there is a member of Congress, Congressman Quinn, you will not forget, right?

Zhenglian is responsible to me, and I am responsible to Senator Quinn, who is the superhero leader chosen by Congress.

Therefore, when I say that the Congress has no power to ask Zhenglian to come to the meeting, I do not mean that Congress cannot review whether Zhenglian's actions are legal.

Superheroes have appeared on a large scale and have lasted for several years. There is a complete set of operating mechanisms, and there are corresponding systems and laws. Zhenglian heroes have to abide by it, and so do you. "

The expressions of several congressmen were even more ugly.

Today they not only invited the leaders of the Justice League and the Eye of the Sky, but the chairman of the Eye of the Sky should also appear at the report.

Not to be questioned, but to pick the Justice League's thorns with them.

But she turned it down outright, without even making up a reason like Justice League did.

In the United States, there are only two senators in each state, and their status is very high.Not only is it qualified to talk about any domestic affairs, but it can even point fingers at other countries.

This report meeting was initiated by several senators.

But Halle is also a senator.

Well, in the mid-term elections after Crisis on Infinite Earths, she became a senator from the state of New York.

She is at the same level as several senators, and her status is much higher than them. They can't force her to come to the meeting.

Even if she did commit a crime, she would have to fight each other in Congress, throwing shoes, pulling hair, and spitting. Well, no one would dare to do that to her.

This report meeting was organized by several Republican congressmen who had defected to Luthor.

As a leader of the Democratic Party, Halle can even block their questioning meeting of Zhenglian.

Councilor Vincent said: "Colonel Trevor, I have stated directly and clearly that the recent successive crises-the Doomsday crisis and the Seaside City crisis have made us doubt the Justice League's ability to defend the outer space of the earth. .

We hope the Justice League will allow the government to conduct a thorough assessment of Watchtower.

We once went to the Hall of Justice and talked with the heroes stationed there. Some of them were very polite, while others directly expressed disdain and sarcasm.

No matter what their attitude is, they all unanimously refuse to cooperate with the government.

Our men haven't even been up there, and Colonel Trevor hasn't been to the watchtower as far as I know, has he? "

Steve smiled and said, "I really haven't been there, because they didn't invite me."

Senator Vincent's blood pressure began to soar, "Colonel, we need to know what's on the watchtower and what the Justice League is doing above us."

"What is the Justice League doing?" Steve tilted his head and thought for a while, then continued to smile and said, "It's easy to guess, either they are working hard to save our lives, or they are going home to rest after get off work."

Several other councilors couldn't listen any longer, and whispered a few words in Vincent's ear, and then Vincent said directly: "Colonel Trevor, no matter how the Sky Eye will get along with the Justice League before, but now the new president new system.

The state invests tens of billions in watchtowers every year, and we must have some control over it, over the Justice League. "

Steve stopped smiling, and said with a cold face: "Each of them is the greatest hero in the world, they cannot and will not be controlled, not any of them.

But I'm not a hero and can't make decisions for them.

I will only pass on your words to them.

I would say to them, you want to control them.

I guess, their answers will be interesting. "

Councilor Vincent's face trembled a few times, "Your words sound like threats?"

Steve shook his head and said, "No, it's not like, it's a threat."

"Wow~~~" There was a low cry from a nearby reporter.

Steve was startled, shit, forgetting that the reporter was there, and spoke his mind.

However, before he could think of any remedial measures, the congressman on the opposite side gave up.

"We don't want to control the heroes of Zhenglian. It's just a matter of trust. Mutual understanding can strengthen trust." Senator Benjamin, wearing glasses, said softly.

As soon as he was persuaded, Steve simply continued to let go of himself, "Okay, I'll tell the Justice League that you don't trust them.

Trust is mutual, if you don't trust them, they won't trust you anymore.

I'm guessing they'll go through your office with x-ray vision and I'm curious what they'll find. "

The more he talked, the more excited he became, he simply stood up and shouted to them: "Recently everyone is talking about the globalization of laws, the globalization of culture, the globalization of political systems.

In the universe, superheroes who are more capable, more honest and diligent, and more trusted by the people generally hold the leadership position.

The Justice League was once asked this question by the name of the universe.

But they say they trust you, and you trust them, and there is no need to change the existing social order between the two parties who trust each other.

Now that you say you don't trust the Justice League, do you want to initiate an 'interstellar' reform of the political system? "

"No, we trust the Justice League." The congresswoman exclaimed with a pale face.

"Colonel Trevor, please forgive our inappropriate wording just now." Senator Vincent stood up tremblingly and bowed to him, "Sorry, we didn't mean to offend the Justice League."

"We apologize, this report will be suspended now, how?"

"Hmph, you better really know you're wrong."

"Lawless! Halle, that Steve Trevor, threatened and humiliated the U.S. senator in public. It's too rampant." Luthor's tone was agitated, as if he was the one who was threatened and humiliated.

Well, they were all his people, and it wasn't wrong to say that Steve was threatening and humiliating him, following his orders.

"You're right, Steve has gone too far. Some things can be said in private, but never in front of reporters. I'll rescind his post later." Halle sighed.

"Very well, a mere colonel dares to speak up in Congress, he should be shown how powerful he is." In the video, Luthor's bald head nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "But this doesn't fundamentally solve the problem.

Steve Trevor is the marionette of the Justice League, and his speech just proves how rampant the heroes of the Justice League are—”

Harley interrupted him and said, "Luthor, I'm not a reporter, I'm not a member of the public listening to your speech, and I'm not a member of parliament. I'm friends with many Zhenglian heroes.

Your purpose is to watch the alien technology on the tower, and of course also suppress the Justice League by the way, proud and proud in front of Superman, right? "

Luthor was not embarrassed by being exposed.

"But you can't deny that the watchtower did not achieve its intended purpose, and there is indeed a phenomenon of greed and waste."

Harry said: "Although I have publicly criticized Zhenglian and Watchtower, the fact is that no one can replace them.

Irreplaceable, we can only strongly support and help them become perfect.As for greedy 5, are you talking nonsense? "

Luther said: "Every week the government will prepare food supplies for the watchtower. Every week when Green Lantern Hal Jordan transports supplies to the sky, he will bring some of them back to his home. He said he has no time to go to the supermarket. This is Chi Guoguo's greedy 5!"

"What kind of greed is this? The courier is also paid. He is responsible for carrying several tons of materials and flying them to the satellite. The time and energy he spends can buy ten times the same food, right?"

Harley gradually became impatient, "Okay, Luther, I have no problem with you using small tricks to mess with the Justice League, but you can't treat me as a fool, trying to toss the Justice League by bewitching me, it will make me see lower you."

"I am the president, and you are the person in charge of the Sky Eye Society." Luthor emphasized.

"Go and find out if the president has the power to directly manage the Tianyanhui."

It is still November 16, and the old president will not officially leave the White House until the middle and late January of 11. Now Luthor is still working as a trainee president, and he will spend two months to familiarize himself with presidential affairs.

After sending Luthor away, Harley found a time to ride a dog to the Sky Eye Society in person, called the principal and vice president and more than a dozen senior cadres to the conference room, and said directly: "Steve, you publicly threatened The member of Congress caused an uproar in public opinion and is not suitable to be the president anymore.

Well, you and Amanda switch positions, she will be the president, and you will be the vice president.

However, the jobs you were originally responsible for do not need to be changed. "

Amanda Waller looked blank, what kind of punishment is this?
"I accept this punishment, it's fair and just." Steve breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a relaxed expression, "I was born in the military, so I'm really not suitable to deal with reporters."

Halle said lightly: "The power of the president is not empty. You will need to report to Amanda in the future. She has the responsibility to lead the overall situation."

　ps: Explain two things, first, Luthor's character.

　　Perhaps some readers think that Luther is too high-handed to threaten others with such low-handed means.In fact, this plot has a prototype. Of course, it is not to compete with Bao for the presidency, but to acquire other technology companies.

　　He is very proud and arrogant, but he is also used to solving problems in the simplest, most time-saving and labor-saving way.

　　Second, Zhenglian is really so stubborn, dare to treat the US government with this attitude?

　　That's right, it's just that, there are no second settings here.

　　Take money from the US government, slap the US government in the face, and intervene in politics from time to time.

　　In fact, this is in line with reality. Power is power. It makes no sense that the "gods" with the power of Zhenglian giants are still manipulated by ordinary people and politicians.
