Marvel's Umbrella - Chapter 203
When the United States launched a nationwide level one alert and sent eleven aircraft carriers back home, the whole world began to riot because of the absence of the United States.
First, in the Middle East, because of the retreat of the US soldiers, many countries have been increasing their blockade of the Hoopoe Bird Country.
In addition, under the leadership of Lucy, the situation of the Baba Sheep Country has become even more chaotic.
In addition, in the European Union, the situation between the North Bear Country and Ermao has become increasingly tense.
In Mozhou, various small countries and forces have begun to rebel.
Don’t think that these countries will be in chaos as soon as the United States leaves, which means that the United States is just.
You must know that the contradictions between these countries have always existed, but because of the suppression of the United States, there is no action.
Just like some small countries in Mozhou, they relied on selling out their own interests and currying favor with American talents to sit on the position of head of state.
Now that the United States has withdrawn, various contradictions have naturally erupted.
Only Asia is the most stable, and all countries dare not mess around because of the existence of the Dragon Country.
It can be said that as long as Dragon Country does not want chaos, Asia will not be in chaos.
…
In the Presidential Palace of Sakura Country.
Mariko is processing documents.
Since she was elected as the head of state, she has been very busy and has fewer opportunities to contribute to the United States.
Just as she was busy processing documents, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Dong Dong Dong…”
“Come in.”
As the door was pushed open, Luna walked in wearing a small suit and black stockings, stepping on high heels.
“Miss Mariko, our boss has a new task for you.”
Hearing this, Mariko immediately put down the information in her hand.
“What task?”
“Grant us a piece of land on Kyushu Island, at least ten square kilometers.”
A year ago, Sakura Country basically cleared the zombies on Kyushu Island.
However, because zombies still appear from corners from time to time, few people from Kyushu Island immigrate there, even if the government spends a lot of money, there are not many people.
Li Feng had his eyes on Kyushu Island and was going to build Umbrella’s second headquarters to reduce the losses caused by the future breakup with the US government.
When she heard that it was Kyushu Island, Mariko hesitated and said, “Are you sure you want Kyushu Island? The situation there is very bad.
Currently, the immigrants there are homeless people and bankrupts. Even if I have approved zero tax for the next ten years, almost no one will go.”
Luna nodded, showing her understanding.
“It’s just right to give you a performance. How about this, you directly approve 50 square kilometers of land, the price can be as low as you can, and then change the ten-year tax exemption to twenty years.”
“This…”
Hearing this, Mariko was a little embarrassed.
After all, 50 square kilometers is not a small place, and twenty years of tax exemption means that the other party will not bring any income to the Sakura government in twenty years.
Although the Umbrella Group will bring huge economic benefits to Sakura Country, employment rate, and drive upstream and downstream industries.
But voters will not care about these.
At that time, political opponents will definitely use this to discredit her and even drive her out of office.
But after thinking about it, she nodded.
“Okay.”
Although this kind of contract may make her step down next year, no matter how well she does, she will only serve for two terms, and she will still step down at that time.
So it is better to take the opportunity to please Umbrella and gain more benefits.
Next, the two discussed the details of the investment.
While they were chatting, they did not notice that a group of ninjas in black tights appeared around the head of the government.
They moved quickly and nimbly, avoiding the outer guards.
When they encountered someone who could not be avoided, they used a blow needle to make him unconscious.
As for some cameras, it was even simpler.
They seemed to have received professional training and avoided the cameras when walking.
After a while, they came to the vicinity of the head of the government’s office.
“Ms. Luna, it’s okay for us to loan 1 billion US dollars, but I’m afraid it won’t work if it’s interest-free. The Minister of Finance will fight me to death.”
“Then let’s have a low interest rate of one point.”
“How about two points?”
“Two points? It’s a bit high, but I agree.”
“Also, you said that employees who break the law will not be punished by the laws of Sakura Country, but will be extradited to the United States. I’m afraid this won’t work.”
“No, this must be included to ensure the safety of my employees.”
“Ms. Luna, although I really want to agree, other members of parliament will not agree at all.
This is just like the French Concession in the old days.”
“But isn’t it different now? Just like the U.S. Even if the soldiers raped the women of your country, they are not subject to your laws at all.
And it’s not just your country, but also the neighboring country of Korea. “
“This is different. That is the law left over from the old times. It can’t be changed now, and you are not the US military.”
“Is there any other way?”
“In this way, we can sign that civil cases will not be managed by the country of Sakura, and criminal cases will be jointly investigated.”
“This is a good idea. After all, civil cases are still criminal cases. Isn’t the final right of interpretation in your hands?”
“Uh…”
Just when several ninjas were eavesdropping, a loud shout suddenly rang out.
“Who is there!”
“It’s a ninja!”
The ninjas turned their heads and found that several bodyguards at the door had discovered them.
Seeing this, the leading ninja said in a low voice: “The plan remains the same, no one will be left alive!”
“Hey!”
Several ninjas immediately took out kunai and threw them at the bodyguards at the door.
Then, they pulled out the ninja swords behind them and prepared to charge in.
As ninjas who have been trained for many years, they are confident that the kunai in their hands can kill the enemy.
Once the bodyguards are dead, the remaining tasks will be easy.
But when the kunai flew in front of the bodyguards, it made a “ding ding dang dang…” sound.
The bodyguards who were unharmed showed unbelievable eyes.
You know, they have been practicing kunai for more than ten years, and even bulletproof vests can’t withstand their kunai.
But now they can’t even pierce the clothes of several bodyguards?
Before the ninjas reacted, several bodyguards tore off their clothes and revealed their metal armor.
“Epsilon team, protect Miss Luna’s safety!”
It turned out that they were not ordinary bodyguards, but the Epsilon team in the U.S.S. special forces, specializing in protecting important people.
The next second, they put on their helmets and pulled the trigger of their electromagnetic rifles at the ninjas.
“Zizizizi…”
After a storm of bullets, most of the ninjas were killed or injured.
The remaining ninjas either jumped out of the window or hid behind the wall.
After a while, Luna and Mariko in the office heard the noise and pushed open the door.
“What happened?”
“Miss Luna, there is a ninja assassination.”
“What? How do they know I’m here?”
Luna was confused.
After all, she didn’t inform anyone about this trip to Sakura Country. Except for a few senior executives, no one knew about it.
But soon, she reacted and looked at Mariko next to her.
“They seem to be coming for you?”
Mariko nodded with a grim look on her face.
“It’s the Hand. They have always wanted to apply for the military, but I rejected them.
I didn’t expect them to dare to assassinate me directly.”
After that, she returned to the office and put on the adamantium armor.
Since her father was thrown to death, this set of armor has naturally become her exclusive.
In order to protect her own safety, she has always carried it with her.
After all, the situation in Sakura Country has become more and more chaotic in recent years.
At this time, the captain of the Epsilon team came to Luna and looked at the ninja in the darkness in the distance with a serious face.
“Miss Luna, please call the armor. Since the enemy has come to the President’s Palace to assassinate, it means that there must be a back-up.”
Luna nodded and called the Sentinel Armor to the White Queen.
In the United States, call the Red Queen, and in Sakura Country, naturally call the White Queen.
Before the White Queen’s Sentinel Armor flew over, the ninja in the darkness in the distance seemed to have reinforcements.
I saw black figures appearing around one after another, and then these ninjas cast illusions, transformed into a large number of clones, and rushed over.
At the same time, their real bodies were also mixed in the clones, taking the opportunity to rush over, and throwing kunai in their hands.
This time, they seemed to have added the power of Black Sky to the kunai, and actually left many marks on the armor of the Epsilon team members.
The Epsilon team was not a pushover, and they quickly pulled the trigger and fought back.
“Zizizizi…”
But this time the effect was far worse than before.
The bullets hit the clones more.
After being hit by bullets, these clones only had holes, but continued to charge.
They were completely different from the clones that would break at the touch.
This also greatly increased the difficulty of the Epsilon team’s shooting.
A few seconds later, the ninjas approached the Epsilon team and drew their swords from their waists.
The Epsilon team members also drew their swords from their backs and slashed.
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
Because the space in the corridor was limited, the terrain was still beneficial to the Epsilon team.
After all, the agile ninjas could not show their skills here at all.
The ninja captain behind also noticed this situation, so his face turned cold.
“Smash the wall!”
Hearing this, several ninjas immediately turned their blades and slashed at the wall next to them.
“Boom…”
After a while, the wall was cut open, and the terrain instantly widened.
At this time, the sentinel armor in the distance had already flown over, followed by five sentinel robots.
As Luna put on the armor, she said jokingly: “You are not a very good leader.
After their assassination failed, they didn’t retreat, and even made such a big noise. They are not afraid of you at all.”
Mariko said helplessly: “The government’s top leaders have been infiltrated so badly that even many people in the military support the Hand.
Especially in the past two years, there has been such a big commotion in the United States, and these people can’t help it.”
The Sakura people are not fools, and they know who threw the two mushroom bombs.
But because the United States is so powerful, the Sakura people can only show loyalty and lackeys.
Now that the United States has been overwhelmed by several crises, the Sakura people naturally began to make small moves.
For example, the Hand is trying to control military power. It seems that the Hand is overestimating its own capabilities, but it is also a test by the top leaders of Sakura Country.
If the military reform is successful, Sakura Country can restore its military strength to that of a normal country.
At that time, it can build aircraft carriers, develop mushroom bombs, long-range missiles, etc.
If it fails, the Hand can be pushed out as a scapegoat, and it has nothing to do with their top leaders.
Of course, Mariko knows what these top leaders think.
But her position as the head of state was obtained by the US military and Umbrella.
So she naturally has to prevent this from happening.
Otherwise, if the military reform is successful, she will be the first to be liquidated.
This is why the Hand is so ruthless and directly assassinates the head of state.
As the battle progresses, the ninjas are getting more and more anxious.
Because of the addition of five sentinel robots, the situation is reversed in an instant.
In addition, Mariko put on the adamantium armor again. The ninja captain tried to sneak up to the opponent and assassinate several times, but he was powerless against this armor, so he had to give up the mission.
“Hush…”
With a whistle, all the ninjas fled the scene immediately.
The Epsilon team’s mission is to protect Luna, so naturally they will not chase.
After a while, Luna and Mariko came to the Yashida Group and continued to discuss in the office.
“If you help me deal with the Hand, I am willing to personally invest 500 million US dollars in you, and I don’t want dividends.”
Faced with Mariko’s words, Luna just shook her head lightly.
“You don’t need to invest, we already have too much money.”
Indeed, because of the nearly monopolistic exclusive business, Umbrella has made a lot of money in the past two years.
The reason why it is said to be nearly monopolistic is that there is also a Hammer Industry that is also engaged in the production of robots.
But compared with the Umbrella Group, their robots are too poor and can only make low-end products.
“What do you want?”
Luna smiled slightly.
“I want the whole Kyushu Island…”
“This…”
Mariko was shocked by Luna’s appetite, but she couldn’t make the decision on this matter.
“You think too highly of me. How can I have this power.”
“You didn’t have it before, but now you have it.”
“What do you mean?”
“Use the matter of the Hand to attack those congressmen.”
…
Three days later.
A piece of news from Sakura Country shocked the world.
Umbrella Group leased the entire Kyushu Island for ninety-nine years.
Umbrella Group also announced that it would move its headquarters there.
Of course, although this news was shocking, in this chaotic era, this news was quickly suppressed by the latest news from the Hoopoe Kingdom.
Because in order to win, the Hoopoe Kingdom actually released poison gas in the Baba Sheep Kingdom area, killing more than 100,000 civilians.
This news was immediately hotly discussed and even condemned around the world.
However, because of the emergence of several major crises, the death toll has exceeded one million, and everyone has become numb, so the condemnation is not so intense.
Everyone knows the situation of the Hoopoe Kingdom.
When they get ruthless, they even ban the Bible.
What’s more, the right to speak in public opinion is in the hands of the Hoopoe people, and many people don’t even know this news.
But compared with the indifference of the Western world, the Middle East is lively.
The establishment of an anti-Hoopoe alliance was soon put on the agenda. (End of this chapter)
