Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 169 Public
The conversation between Jack and Tony wasn't exactly a bad one, but it wasn't a happy one either.

Tony has been influenced by the thinking of Western elites since he was a child. In his bones, he believes that he is superior to others, and ordinary people are like ants, who need to look up to his existence...

Of course having this mindset doesn't mean Tony is a bad guy.

Just like the release of the video, Tony didn't mean to deprive the public of their right to know. He simply believed that ordinary people couldn't help at all, and the more they knew, the more they would add to the chaos.

From a utilitarian point of view, Jack does not deny that Tony's ideas are reasonable, but he is even more convinced that everyone can make a difference.

God shepherds?

Shit.

But from Tony's attitude, Jack knew that his trip to Washington might not be going well, so he first went to the watchtower base to seek Raymond's help.

After playing the video of the White House special edition of the Destroyer, Raymond first fell silent.

After about ten minutes, the wise old man asked:
"Do you have to make this video public?"

Jack shook his head, the public video is just a means, let the public know the existence of aliens is the purpose!

It doesn't matter if the video is public or not, if there are other ways to achieve the goal.

But Raymond's opening remarks gave Jack a little bad feeling,

"You also think it's not suitable to be public at this time?"

Raymond also shook his head, and he replied with a smile:

"There is no right or wrong, it just depends on whether you are determined ... You have to understand that if you don't get support in Washington, then they are likely to take some countermeasures."

"What do you mean?" Jack asked, frowning.

"I think Washington is going to take your position as liaison officer for the quick reaction force."

Compared with Jack, Raymond, who has been immersed in politics for 30 years, has a better understanding of the American political ecology, and his predictions are likely to come true.

Looking at the silent Jack, Raymond smiled and asked:

"So you still stick to your decision?"

Jack stood up, looked at Raymond with resolute eyes, and said loudly:
"In the future world, aliens attacking the earth has become a high probability event.

I don't think the way of deception can cover up the truth for a long time.

Instead of passively rushing around when the time comes, it's better to lift the lid first!

So... I stand by my decision that people must prepare for the future. "

Raymond nodded, chuckled and said:

"Then we can discuss the second thing, how to reduce your presence in this matter!"

Jack frowned and asked, "Do you think the White House will definitely choose to cover up the truth?"

Raymond spread his hands: "You don't need to have any illusions about those politicians, their bottom line is much lower than you expected!"

Jack accepted Raymond's point of view, which should have been an obvious thing.

The rest is how to reduce the political risk that Jack has to take.

After a short thought, Raymond asked, "Do you know an organization called "Rising Tide"?"

"what is that?"

Jack is really numb to the endless organizations in this world.

Raymond explained: "This is an organization composed of the world's top hackers, they are full of mistrust of the government, and most of them firmly believe in the existence of aliens..."

Raymond didn't say anything behind, but Jack already understood what he meant!
Government, Aliens, Distrust!

These few keywords are enough.

But the more difficult thing is...

"How do we contact them?" Jack asked.

Since Raymond asked, he naturally had an answer. He chuckled and said, "Christine has made a new friend, a member of the Rising Tide."

Jack nodded, and it seemed that everything had been resolved.

He has to prepare now, and then go to Washington to see the true faces of those politicians!
But just as Jack was about to leave, Misty found him...

After receiving the information handed over by Misty, Jack flipped through a few pages, and asked in disbelief:
"Frey was attacked by militants on Long Island this morning?"

Misty nodded, and replied: "Fry was slightly injured, and the enemy had already retreated before the SHIELD reinforcements arrived."

Jack felt that this scene seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
Since Fury was fine and Jack didn't take it to heart, he kept Misty on the matter and boarded a plane to Washington.

Inside the White House, Benjamin was very concerned about Asgard's movements. He had communicated with Saul, so he was very cautious about Jack's proposal.

This kind of prudence is reflected in the fact that Benjamin summoned the entire ruling team and senior officials of the North American Command.

The moment Jack walked into the meeting room, he understood Benjamin's intentions...

After all, the political characteristics of the United States are...the more people there are, the less fruitful things will be.

Sure enough, after everyone watched the video, the collective fell into silence.

Although he knew that there was not much hope, Jack still tried to make a last effort. He walked to the front of the conference room and said loudly:

"Gentlemen and ladies, since we have confirmed the existence of Asgard, that is, aliens, I suggest that this video be made public, and that a special alien affairs bureau be established to deal with alien affairs, and that the Department of Defense should make A new plan..."

The Minister of National Defense was resting his head on his fingers at this time. Seeing Jack mentioning the Ministry of National Defense, he asked sullenly:
"Plan? What plan?"

"A plan for a possible alien invasion," Jack replied.

The Minister of Defense sneered: "Mr. Congressman, if I understand correctly, what you just said is possible! Then it may not happen. Are we going to waste taxpayers' money for something that might not happen?" ?”

At this time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs also asked: "The United States is only one of the many countries on the earth, and extraterrestrial affairs should be the scope of work of the United Nations... I propose to transfer this video and information to the United Nations or S.H.I.E.L.D...."

Faced with the prevarication of the two ministers, Jack responded with a sneer.

The final decision must be made by the Secretary of State. He walked to the center of the conference room and said:

"In the past two years, there have been many panic incidents in Los Angeles and New York. We have enough evidence to prove that the harm caused by these incidents is not great, but the sequelae caused by the widespread panic are more serious.

At present, we don't know anything about the affairs outside the earth. Just like Mr. Secretary of Defense said, we can't be sure about the attitude of these aliens towards the earth...

So I suggest that we should temporarily keep the existence of aliens a secret until we figure out what they are thinking, so as not to cause too much panic! "

After the Secretary of State finished speaking, everyone present nodded frequently, obviously agreeing with his point of view.

Jack set his sights on Benjamin, who also knew that he had to make a statement at this meeting, but he played a trick,
"Since everyone is controversial about this matter, I suggest a show of hands to vote...I will first express my attitude, and I agree with Jack's opinion."

"I object," "I object," "I object,"...

All but Benjamin disagreed...

11:1.

This is American politics.

Walking out of the White House, Jack dialed Raymond's phone, and he whispered softly:
"Implement Plan A!"

So when Jack took the special plane back to New York, Raymond asked his granddaughter Christine to have lunch.

During the meal, Raymond inadvertently told his granddaughter the existence of the Asgardians and some details of the Destroyer War as anecdotes.

The young girl was very curious about these things, but she couldn't resist her granddaughter's hard work, so Raymond handed over the edited version of the Destroyer movie to Christine.

The rest will wait for time to bear fruit!
There are still many things that Jack needs to solve. It is impossible for him to pay attention to this matter all the time, so he entrusts this matter to Raymond.

Jack went to the mission hospital to visit the US team.

Regarding the Hydra matter, Jack has to communicate with the US team in advance.

When Jack walked into Captain America's ward, besides Captain America on the bed, he saw an unexpected figure,

JJJ, Editor-in-Chief of Bugle Daily…

"Why are you here?" Jack approached the two and asked curiously.

JJJ replied with a smile: "I'm here to sign a contract with the captain. He has agreed to be a special artist for the Daily Bugle, and he will write the new X-Men..."

Jack thought he heard it wrong, he turned to Captain America on the hospital bed, and asked:

"I didn't know you had this specialty!"

Captain America chuckled: "Actually, if it wasn't for the war, my greatest ideal would be to become a cartoonist. I have secretly practiced for a long time for this ideal..."

"This really surprised me!"

"Jack, if I had a choice, I would actually prefer a peaceful life... In my time, the war had already started, and I joined the war just hoping to end it as soon as possible!"

Jack nodded, maybe it was because of Captain America's belief that he was the only one who could maintain kindness after being injected with the super soldier serum!
But unfortunately, the purpose of Jack's trip is to let the US team participate in another war!
"Captain, we have obtained important information that Hydra still exists..."

Captain America on the hospital bed sat up straight, then lay down again, he said with a wry smile:

"Chop off one head and grow two heads...they are really tenacious!"

Regarding the calmness of the US team, Jack asked in surprise:

"You don't think it's weird, you know that you destroyed Hydra."

"Maybe it's because we've seen too many strange things recently... We just fought against aliens, so there's nothing unacceptable about Hydra's resurrection.

Alright, sir, tell me, what is my mission? "

Jack said coldly: "Same as before, destroy Hydra."

Captain America showed a funny smile:

"I'm the best at this!"

Jack was amused by the captain's expression, "So get well soon, we still have a lot to do!"

After talking with the US team, Jack turned around and went to a special ward, where an old man was lying... and beside him was Katie who hadn't seen her for a long time.

At this time, Katie looked more mature, but her face was a little pale.

Jack approached the hospital bed and asked:
"how is he?"

Katie glanced at the old man on the hospital bed. He had exactly the same appearance as Professor X. In fact, he was the professor's twin brother.

At the beginning, the professor's mother was pregnant with a pair of twins, but because the professor's mental strength was too strong, the professor's younger brother was reduced to a vegetable from birth, and now he has become the revived body of the professor.

"The vital signs are completely normal, but I just can't wake up!"

Jack nodded.

"Katie, you have been observing for a long time, can you give me an answer?"

Katie smiled wryly:

"Mr. Murdoch, my ability has nothing to do with the spiritual world. But after being escorted for such a long time, I agree with you, we shouldn't wake him up in a hurry!"

Jack asked in surprise:

"What special discovery do you have?"

"In fact, every night, there will be a voice calling me, he wants to come back to life!"

Jack frowned:

"Isn't this the calling of the professor?"

"Although I have not been in contact with the professor for a long time, he will never call out to his students in a seductive tone. If I have to describe it, it is like the whisper of a demon."

Jack had already fully understood what Katie meant, and he sighed deeply. Originally, he had high hopes for the professor, but now it seems that it will not work!

Not only that, but Jack had to closely monitor the vegetative state to prevent any accidents.

Leaving the hospital, Jack returned to the watchtower base...

An unexpected visitor had already arrived in his office.

"General Ross, I didn't expect you to come to the watchtower base."

Rose with gray temples showed a smile, he held Jack's hand and said:

"Maybe I'll be a villain today!"

"How to say?"

"According to the latest order from the White House, the Rapid Response Force will be renamed the Skyhammer Bureau immediately, and I will serve as the director."

Jack shrugged. The White House's action was really fast. Originally, Raymond estimated that the other party would only act after the video was exposed by the Rising Tide organization, but they were already impatient!

This also shows that the top leaders of the US government are not idiots, but they are unwilling to use their intelligence in the right way...

A game of fighting against each other is much more fun than fending off aliens!

But does the White House really think that it can take away Jack's command by relying on an executive order?

Wanting to understand this, Jack asked freely:

"Mr. Director, how much time can you give me to pack my personal belongings?"

Rose waved his hand, he walked behind Jack's desk, then patted the chair, said with a smile:

"The White House asked me to reorganize the Sky Hammer Bureau, so one of my orders is that Mr. Jack Murdoch will serve as the deputy director of the Sky Hammer Bureau and preside over the daily work of the Sky Hammer Bureau."

Jack frowned and said:
"Director Ross, do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Rose's expression suddenly turned serious: "I've seen that video, and although I don't care whether to make it public or not, I know the earth must be prepared for it."

"What if the White House rescinds your appointment as Director?"

"I believe the next director will still make the same choice! Jack, don't be timid. What we have to do now is for the survival of 70 billion people on earth, and we cannot shirk it."

In fact, Rose's thinking is similar to Tony's. Elites are responsible for solving crises, and ordinary people are not important.

But when he said it out of his mouth, it was quite touching!
At this time, Jack's cell phone received a message...

"done."

This made Jack smile, and he said to Rose:
"I accept your appointment, let us work together for the future of mankind."
