A Little Thing in the Marvel Universe

To this day, few people can remember the last time South Korea became the focus of the world.

It's not the whole world's fault. South Korea has a lunatic neighbor who is particularly good at attracting other people's attention.

But this time, more than a month after Belle brought Helen back to the United States from South Korea, on May [-], the eyes of the world were focused on South Korea.

55 years later, another military coup occurred in South Korean history.

Army officer Yoo Si-jin, who was a special forces member and was recently promoted to the rank of major general, unexpectedly received the full support of the military.

He personally led troops, occupied the Blue House, detained the president and all officials present, announced the dissolution of Congress, and imposed military control across the country.

The whole of South Korea is boiling, positively, positively, boiling.

This military coup was supported by the majority of South Koreans.

They took to the streets, celebrated and demonstrated.

The streets of Seoul are covered with flyers in the form of wanted posters, with the president's face printed on them and the words "The crime deserves it, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it."Koreans use this form to vent their anger and demand severe punishment for national traitors.

It was breakfast time in Manhattan at this time.

Helen is temporarily staying in Belle's mansion. She has just spoken with her parents on the phone. They have settled in New Jersey and have not been involved in the chaos in South Korea.

Belle brought her a cup of coffee, turned on the TV, and watched the morning news.

"Hey, it's really a big deal this time."

Looking at the angry demonstrators in the picture, Belle couldn't help but sigh. The power of the people is really terrifying. Once they are incited, they are simply unstoppable.

"Maybe, the president will have to be sentenced to death. Speaking of which, it seems that no president in South Korea has died a good death, right?"

Helen knew that Belle was right, but she was still Korean after all, and she felt uncomfortable having the most ridiculous side of her country revealed to her face.

But she also understood that Belle meant no harm.If she wanted to push herself, there were better tricks than this.

So Helen just smiled bitterly and said: "Who says it's not the case? The president of South Korea is probably the most dangerous profession in the world, although there are many people who are eager to do it."

"If you ask me, you should be the president." Belle said, "At least you won't play with people's lives."

Helen took a sip of coffee and said in a low voice: "If you take human life too seriously, you won't be able to be the president of South Korea. After all, you have to deal with a group of lunatics every day. Those people are ruthless characters who eat people without spitting out their bones." "

Regarding this military coup, she and Belle had a serious exchange of views.

Helen believed that the president used his power for personal gain, accepted bribes from large conglomerates, interfered with judicial justice, and secretly manipulated personnel arrangements. She believed all of this.

Even when she was framed and persecuted and all the data on Cradle of Life were forcibly collected, she believed that the president must be involved.

However, in order to create the illusion that Helen was kidnapped by an unknown foreign force, he deliberately killed South Korean soldiers, released poison gas in the center of Busan, and claimed that it was a terrorist attack. No president could do such a thing.

Doing this will not do any good either for the president himself or for the country as a whole.

Even if there are some benefits unknown to outsiders that make the president willing to take risks, the huge clue left by this matter will become a permanent hidden danger for the president.

Just like now, this incident was regarded as a trigger and was exposed by the military in a high-profile manner, instantly igniting the entire South Korea.Then there were countless messy things involved, each of which was enough for the president to walk around.

"This must be a conspiracy by the military!" Helen said decisively.

Belle was not as direct as she thought.It's not because she has a better view of the overall situation, it's just that she needs to face more complex situations than Helen.

As a person with superpowers in the White House, although Belle is not subject to any personal restrictions, SHIELD and CIA will maintain a certain degree of attention every time she leaves the United States.

This time is obviously not an exception, especially not long after she left South Korea, the president announced a terrorist attack. Then the plot reversed. The military announced that the terrorist attack was an excuse for the president to cover up his criminal acts, and used this as a reason to launch the attack. coup.

Under special circumstances, Belle's travel record was directly placed on the desk of the President of the United States.

Chief of Staff Mark Usher also called immediately.

"I want to hear it from your own mouth that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Due to the professional characteristics of the chief of staff, Mark has always been serious, and his excellent sense of humor is only a tool he uses to improve communication efficiency.However, he has always been more tolerant towards Belle and can be said to be amiable.

This time he used such a serious tone uncharacteristically, which shows that the situation is indeed serious.

But for such a serious matter, we should have a direct interview, not a phone call.

Thus, a performance of tacit cooperation between the two parties began.

"What's the matter?" Belle asked innocently.

"What else can happen? If you look at any screen now, you will know what I am talking about."

"Oh, this matter, what does this matter have to do with me?" Belle asked.

"You were in South Korea when the terrorists kidnapped Dr. Helen Cho and detonated poison gas bombs in Busan, right? It's best that this matter has nothing to do with you. If it does, you have to tell the truth. South Korea is not Guinea Places like Bissau and Burkina Faso, it doesn’t matter what you do, they are our important allies in Asia, and anything that happens there may affect U.S. interests.”

"I know, I still have an American passport, I can't afford treason."

Mark snorted, obviously not satisfied with Belle's careless attitude, but he already somewhat believed in Belle.If Belle categorically denied it, then it would be worth looking into.

But he didn't plan to stop there, because the previous ones were just tests.

"By the way, I heard that when you were in Korea, you asked Stark for help and arranged a private jet? Do big stars talk about pomp and circumstance like this now?"

Belle guessed that someone would ask about this matter, so she naturally prepared her explanation.

"How can I talk about such a pomp? How can I have the dignity to ask Mr. Stark to help arrange a private plane? His plane is naturally used to transport what he wants. This is just a favor to me. I You know the relationship with Pepper."

"So what does Stark want? Did you help him get it?"

"You have to ask him about this." Belle put the blame away easily, "If you investigate more carefully, you will find that I was not on that plane at all. I went to Korea just for fun. By the way, I learned about beauty salons and plastic surgery there. You know, they are very good at this."

"Stop joking, you still need plastic surgery?"

"Plastic surgery is not a problem, but I am interested in investing in opening a few beauty salons. As you know, my club looks very lively, but it actually makes no money at all. Sometimes I have to pay some compensation. I haven't been a model for a long time. , I have to eat too."

"Good idea." Mark said. At the same time, he also realized that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Belle, so he continued, "The beauty and skin care industries have been developing really well recently. I happen to know a few people. My friends in this field are all in New York, and I can introduce you to them if I have the opportunity."

"That would be great," said Belle.

"Then it's settled. I'll go to New York next week. Let's have a meal together then."

The call was either recorded or someone was listening.

As a CIA agent, Everett Ross fully understands everything that happened in South Korea, including how Belle sent Helen away after they separated in the casino, and the attack on the armored vehicle.He will definitely report everything dutifully, and it is impossible for Mark Usher, the chief of staff to the president, not to see this kind of news.

But he deliberately said something like, "It has nothing to do with you, but if it does, it's best to tell the truth." This was a very obvious, yet hard-to-find reminder that you should never tell the truth about this matter.

This shows that the United States has acquiesced in Belle bringing Helen back to the United States.

Top talents are always the most important strategic resource. No country will think that it has too many talents.

But since this matter involves relations with South Korea, it cannot be done openly. Therefore, tacit approval is the greatest support that the president and chief of staff can provide.

Although Liu Shizhen and others also knew that it was Belle who took Helen away, they just had no evidence.Pointing the finger at American dads without evidence, Koreans would not do such a dangerous thing.

The only thing they could do was to break their teeth and swallow it, calling the whole thing a terrorist attack.

Therefore, the first version of the official statement is: A group of unidentified militants launched an attack in Busan, driving into the bustling area of ​​​​the city center, causing huge damage.The South Korean army responded quickly and immediately pursued and intercepted the attacker. The attacker eventually detonated a bomb, killing ten people, including the two attackers.

This statement is full of loopholes.

First of all, the incident happened late at night, and it was March. Even on the busy road, there was no one at this time. Could it be that the terrorists attacked such a place because they were full?

Second, why did the police, who were supposed to maintain public security, disappear throughout the whole process, but the army, which had nothing to do with it, responded quickly and sent capable personnel to participate in the encirclement and suppression?

Third, after the incident, a large-scale clearance and blockade was carried out within a [-]-kilometer radius of the attack area. Is this necessary?One can easily guess that the scene must be poisonous.Even the poison gas was prepared, but it was used in a situation where there were no people around. This only exacerbated the unreasonableness of the official statement.

When suspicion spread throughout the country, Yoo Si-jin stood up and said only one sentence: "The ten victims in this incident were all outstanding soldiers of the Republic of Korea. Their sacrifices were all because the president was serving his personal life." A dirty deal for profit."

Just an hour after this declaration, an article titled "To gain support, the president actually sent Helen Zhao to the United States" spread throughout the streets of South Korea.

This article has two effects.

The most obvious one is of course that the president was called a dog.First there was the Missile Crisis, and then there was the Seoul battle between Ultron and the Avengers. South Koreans' attitude towards the United States took a sharp turn. To kneel down with the United States at this time would undoubtedly touch the public's backlash.

One thing is that regarding Helen, there are two opinions among the people.

Most people firmly believe that Helen is a national traitor. It is totally unreasonable that such a national traitor can go to the United States to enjoy life!

A small group of people saw a more serious problem. Regardless of whether Helen was a traitor or not, the president believed that she could be used to gain support from the United States. What was so special about this woman?Can such people actually trade?This is the real traitor!

In South Korea, people's protests, discussions and reflections have never stopped.

In the United States, Belle, who knows more, is also thinking:

There are definitely dirty deals, but who is doing the deals with whom?
