My days as a landlord in Gotham

(Wu)

"Your Excellency, I did not expect that we would meet under such circumstances."

Li Lei looked around, all the armed personnel were disarmed by Li Lei's magic, and then the vines on the lawn behind the White House, driven by Li Lei's magic, became natural ropes to bind these people.

And President Donald, who was clamoring to teach the intruders a lesson with his rifle, was forced by Jason's dagger to behave like a fat turkey about to be slaughtered on Thanksgiving.

"Actually, Your Excellency, as I contacted you earlier, I really have a matter related to the national security of the United States and the well-being of all mankind that I need to discuss with you.

Now I hope you can bring your important cabinet members to the meeting room. Please believe that I will not do any dangerous actions against you and your cabinet members.

Of course, the premise is that you have not done anything dangerous to me, otherwise, I will not be able to guarantee your safety. "

Donald curled his lips, and then led his cabinet members to lead Li Lei to a conference room next to the Oval Office.

"This is generally a temporary conference room for major national events. Although it is not as famous as the Roosevelt Room, I think it will be more suitable for us.

If you really want to tell us one thing about the national security of the United States and the well-being of all mankind. "

Li Lei didn't pay attention to Donald's attitude, because he also knew that this person was a typical gangster.

He places the tablet in the center of the table and presses a button.

The tablet immediately displayed a holographic image interface in front of everyone, and Li Lei's technology shocked many people.

Now these people looked at Li Lei with a little more respect, and Li Lei was satisfied with their attitude.

On the holographic image interface, he played the image of Roseburg falling into the ice field of northern Alaska, and then some aliens ran out.

These videos made the viewers who hold the power in the United States show panic and doubts, and Li Lei said at this time: "Next, before I finish speaking, I don't want anyone to interrupt my speech.

The video I played just now was actually using the optical telescope of the North American Air Defense Command to track the image, and then I called some spy satellites from the United States, Russia and the European Union to observe the impact area.

The UFO that just crashed into the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in the North Slope Borough of Alaska came from Kryptonian Fort Rhodes, a place where Krypton used to hold extremely dangerous prisoners. special cosmic region.

But for unknown reasons, it was transferred to the vicinity of the earth, and then fell into this area under the action of the earth's gravity.

As you just saw in the video, the alien prisoners in Rodsburg did not die because of this collision, on the contrary they were freed.

According to current incomplete statistics, there are approximately 1024 registered prisoners in Roseburg.

Thirty of them escaped Roseburg after its impact with Earth, and their whereabouts are unknown.

The remaining prisoners began to reinforce Fort Rods, it seems that they intend to use this as a stronghold.

Your Excellency, I think you should have something to say?

Now a prison spaceship with extremely dangerous alien prisoners has come to the United States. Now the spaceship has lost its restraint on these alien prisoners. I think it requires the United States government to cooperate with other governments and international organizations to attack them. . "

"Oh, God!

Are we going to war against aliens?

Also, how can I confirm that your news is true? "

President Donald looked at Li Lei with a hint of luck on his face. After all, he was the least capable among the previous presidents.

"Most of our information comes from intelligence agencies in the United States. You can check with NORAD and the Pentagon."

Li Lei sent the original data to the White House database, "I can discuss it after you verify it."

Donald nodded, and the Secretary of Defense immediately called his office.

About ten minutes later, the Minister of Defense said profusely in sweat, "Yes, all the information this gentleman brought is true."

"All right!"

Donald looked at his cabinet members with difficulty, "Gentlemen, what I want to know is, have any of our previous administrations played out any extraterrestrial invasion?

Do we have a plan for the current situation in our secret database? "

"Sorry, Your Excellency, we don't have any contingency plans for an alien invasion.

We can only compare it to a foreign invasion and now move you, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and key members of the Cabinet and members of both Houses to various security fortresses in the country. "

The Presidential Security Advisor replied rather awkwardly, "But I think Mr. Messenger should have a proposal?"

"Mr. Messenger?"

Li Lei was a little taken aback, then laughed, "Well, I like this nickname.

First of all, I would like to ask Mr. President and other ministers to pay attention to a problem. This is not an alien invasion incident, at least it cannot be compared with the last General Zod invasion incident.

These prisoners are just a group of rabble, they don't have the strict military training and obedience like General Zod's men.

Secondly, this is the earth, not Krypton. Not all aliens can accept the environment of the earth. Even if they are not tortured to death by the environment here, I believe that most of their abilities should be restricted.

Finally, there are actually agencies within the federal government that have been dealing with aliens or other non-human beings.

For example, the "Superhuman Group Advanced Research Institute" affiliated to the Ministry of National Defense, also known as the "Sky Eye Society"; and the Supernatural Action Bureau affiliated to the Ministry of Justice.

In addition, I remember that the military also has several special departments that are conducting research on extraterrestrial organisms. Your Excellency the President can find out. "

Following Li Lei's revelation, several ministers and generals present showed embarrassing expressions.

And Donald looked at the expressions of his cabinet members and knew that what Li Lei said was true, he said very angrily: "Am I still the President of the United States of America?

I am the head of state and executive leader elected by the citizens of the United States, why do I not know these things? "

"Sir, this is for the sake of confidentiality."

In the face of the president's anger, the executive branch remained silent. In the end, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff representing the military had to break the current embarrassing atmosphere.

"After all, according to the principle of intelligence confidentiality, the more people who know a secret, the more people will leak it.

In fact, we know little about these departments, and we are not particularly clear about the intelligence they have.

Also, Mr. President, this is not the time for accountability, but how we should face the current situation.

The spy satellites of the United States are not the only ones flying over Alaska, satellites of the European Union, Russia and other countries are also there, and many commercial satellites will also pass by.

It would be a catastrophe for the government if these news were first made public by the media.

So we now need to think about coping strategies. "

"All of you leave for a while, Mr. Messenger, let's go to the President's Office to chat."

Donald now felt that his cabinet members could not be trusted at all. On the contrary, this guy he didn't like just now might be the person he could trust the most.

After driving everyone out of the office, Donald looked at Li Lei solemnly and said, "Mr. Messenger, what I want to know is, can I trust you?

You came to me with such important information, you must have interests you want to exchange.

Here, I can assure you that as long as you can ensure the safety of my presidency, I can agree to any conditions you set. "

After listening to Donald's guarantee, Li Lei couldn't help complaining in his heart that he really deserved to be a president who was born as a businessman.

However, because Donald has the dual attributes of a businessman and a politician, neither of these two identities is actually that credible.

So Li Lei said indifferently: "Your Excellency, your reputation is actually not as high as you imagined. Why do you think I should trust you?"

"Trust is not important, we can turn everything into a contract.

Whether it's a businessman or a politician, isn't it all an exchange of interests? "

After Donald heard Li Lei complaining about himself, he knew there was something going on.

Only those who really want to do business with themselves will complain about themselves or their own products, and those who do not want to do business must turn around and leave after a false praise.

Since he wants to make a deal with himself, the rest is the height of the bargaining chip.

"As soon as we announce the alien invasion, the United States will automatically enter a state of war.

Mr. Messenger, you should know that wartime presidents have certain special zones. Otherwise, how could President Roosevelt, a paralyzed and profligate guy, become the fourth president?

Just look at poor President Bill, who was forced by Congress to almost resign after letting the interns play a flute of their own accord.

But as for our President Roosevelt, he blatantly ate the grass on the edge of the nest and became the greatest president in American history.

why?

Because he was a wartime president!

As long as I am a wartime president, I will naturally push Congress to pass a series of laws in your favor.

how about it?

Mister Messenger, is my offer worth the deal?

Mr. Messenger, as long as the matter can be settled with money, then it is not a matter. "

"Your Excellency, I finally know why you became a successful businessman."

Li Lei had to admit that he was persuaded by this seemingly mindless president.

"Your Excellency, as a matter of good faith, I can tell you my name.

Do you know Horizon Holdings?

If you are not sure, you can use the search engine to find it now. "

Donald immediately turned on the computer and retrieved it.

After a while, he said in surprise, "You are the boss behind that super unicorn company?

OMG!

I have always wanted to invest in your company, but unfortunately your company does not accept financing.

Mr. Li, since you have shown your sincerity, why don't you just tell me your needs? "

"Actually, my request is also very simple, two words: money and power."

Li Lei said with a smile, "In fact, even without government funding, my friends and I will try our best to protect the earth.

But this time I found that there is no way to fight so many aliens only relying on our strength, so we plan to use the power of the government. "

Li Lei explained all his plans to Donald, and Donald listened very carefully and offered his own suggestions from time to time.

"I can agree to your request, but I have a small request, I hope you can agree."

Donald said.

"I want to be the commander-in-chief of this command structure. Of course, I am nominal."

Donald said, "You know, I don't lack money or power, but I want to gain more fame, and this is obviously a good opportunity for me."

Facing Donald's shameless self-recommendation, Li Lei finally agreed after twitching the corner of his mouth a few times.

"After all, you are also the nominal commander-in-chief of the U.S. armed forces, so there is no problem for you to be the commander-in-chief of the 'Earth Defense Command'.

But you must assure me that you will not dictate to this organization, which you have to determine in terms of rules and regulations.

Also, you have to ensure that this agency can get a budget of 100 billion to 200 billion U.S. dollars a year, and it also has the right to review the defense spending budget.

In addition, relevant organizations such as the Sky Eye Society and the Supernatural Action Bureau should also be merged under this organization.

Of course, in order not to make His Excellency the president feel that he has lost control, I can agree that your director of national intelligence will serve as the director of the intelligence department of the command, and at the same time, your national security affairs adviser will serve as the special adviser of the command to learn about the specific implementation of some operations Condition. "

"Are you satisfied with just a $200 billion budget?"

Donald looked at Li Lei in surprise, "Once we enter a war with aliens, you want 500 billion US dollars, and the Senate and the House of Representatives dare not refuse.

But your proposal to merge other similar institutions, I agree to you.

I also don't like administrative agencies that are not in my hands. "

After Li Lei and Donald settled most of the details, Li Lei left early.

He believes that Donald will not violate the agreement between the two, and he also believes that he has a way to persuade and agitate the American people.

After all, this president, in a situation where all the media looked down on him, used his speeches to continuously win over and encourage his supporters, and then counterattacked all the way to become the president of the United States.

Now that he has his own support, Mr. Donald should use all his tricks in the next media performance.

After returning to the apartment, Li Lei received a text message from Donald, reminding Li Lei to pay attention to the president's speech in half an hour.

Li Lei turned on the TV with some doubts. At this time, the major TV networks and news channels have interrupted their regular programs one after another, and all of them started with "breaking news"

to start the live broadcast.

Since the White House only stated that it is a matter of major national security and foreign affairs, all TV stations and websites are guessing what it is at the moment.

Li Lei thought for a while, and then got in touch with the Atlantis cable news station under his father's name. Charlie, the director of the news department, saw that it was Li Lei's call, and immediately answered, "Lei, don't tell me, You have the inside scoop on this news again.

Did you know that your last message to us has already increased our subscribers by 20%.

If you have the inside scoop this time around, I can guarantee our subscriber count will be the No. [-] news channel in America. "

"Yes, Charlie, I have a behind-the-scenes look at this news."

Li Lei said with a smile, "I was wondering if I should ask my father to give me some shares as an incentive.

After all, this news is really sensational, enough to make you the world's largest professional news channel.

But Charlie, you have to assure me that you can only plan reports after reading the materials, and all reports must be published after the president's speech.

But I can promise you that your information is exclusive and the most complete. "

"Lei, please believe in the integrity and honor of a veteran journalist!

As much as I chase the news, I will never do so at the expense of national security or the public welfare. "

Charlie said on the phone very seriously, "I agree to your request."

"I have already sent it to your e-mail through an encrypted email. I hope you will not be too excited after reading it."

Li Lei said.

"I wouldn't be surprised if World War III broke out immediately."

Charlie said while receiving the mail.

But soon Li Lei heard something fall to the ground and Charlie yelled, "God!

my God!

What am I seeing?

Lei, this is really not a video you made up with a computer or other means, right?

I definitely did not expect to see anything like this in my lifetime!

No wonder the White House and the Pentagon refused to disclose any information. I can imagine the situation after Mr. President's speech.

I think the federal government will ask the state governments to enter a 'state of emergency' immediately, and may even be asked to have a 'curfew'.

Lei, I won't tell you anymore, our side is getting ready! "

There was a hang up tone on the phone, Li Lei shook his head with a smile and put the phone aside.

And Ying Zheng commented: "You pushed that idiot to the front of the stage is indeed a coup, but I think this has a great hidden danger to the future development.

That idiot's big mouth is sure to attract enough fire for you, and you can get a lot done behind him.

But once the institution has established military merits, then most of the honor will go to him. Have you ever worried that he will be too big to lose? "

"The question is, what capital does he have to 'keep the tail off'?"

Li Lei said, "Your Majesty the King of Qin, although the entire organization is entrusted to him to command in name, he has no financial, personnel, or supervisory power over this organization, so he is an overhead leader.

Even though our organization has brought him great honor, he still has no way to intervene in the management of this organization.

Even if he figured it out, there would be nothing to worry about if he dismissed us and started anew.

Because the main combat power of this organization is us and the Justice League, and the main source of intelligence comes from us.

He has no way to bypass us and form another similar organization, and he has no guts to break with us. "

"Having the key is indeed the most powerful means for you to fight against that kind of overhead boss, but he is still the supreme head of state of this country. Who do you think will gain more support from the people once the matter is exposed?"

Ying Zheng asked rhetorically, "As long as he is still the head of state, then he is absolutely positive morally, and it is very difficult for you to leverage his position.

And can you guarantee that the Justice League will keep pace with you?

The important thing is that they originally had related organizations such as the Sky Eye Society and the Paranormal Operations Bureau. Can you really guarantee that he will not copy a brand new headquarters?

Li, you are still too naive! "

Ying Zheng shook his head.

After listening to Ying Zheng's analysis, Li Lei frowned.

At this time, the Atlantis cable news station has cut the screen to the screen of the president's speech.

The analysts who were watching the president's speech frowned, because the place where the president delivered the speech was actually in the presidential office.

According to the usual practice, if it is positive news, the place where the president speaks is generally chosen in the East Hall; only when some not-so-good news is announced, such as war, catastrophe, etc., will be chosen in the Oval Office of the President.

"According to NORAD intelligence transmissions an hour ago, an alien spacecraft had crashed into the North Slope borough in Alaska.

We have confirmed that there are a large number of aliens on the spacecraft, but according to our initial contact, these aliens are not friendly to the earth people. "

It has to be said that Donald is still very talented in speech.

Even though Li Lei knew the inside story, under Donald's instigation, Li Lei had the urge to join the army to defend the free world.

"In order to deal with this unprecedented situation, I have proposed to Congress to form the 'Earth Defense Command', which is a super agency that spans all military services in the United States and coordinates all government departments, because I believe that only such a super agency Government agencies have a way to deal with the current situation.

In addition, I am here to appeal to all superheroes and ordinary people who are committed to defending the earth, if you have the determination to defend our earth, please join us!

At the same time, in order to prevent the alien invaders from spreading to other countries, I also notified the allies and major countries of the United States, as well as the United Nations and other international organizations.

I hope that at the critical moment of human survival, all countries will put aside their prejudices and unite as one!

May God bless us!

God bless America! "

"It seems that I really underestimate the heroes of the world."

Ying Zheng said suddenly, "To be the leader of such a country, he must have his advantages.

Even in the Warring States Period, he is bound to become a generation of heroes.

Li Lei, you are not as good as him! "

Li Lei choked on Ying Zheng's words, and at this time Batman also called.

"Ray, did you create that Earth Defense Command?

Do you want to use this organization to replace the Justice League? "

"Batman, I need to correct a couple of things in what you just said.

First of all, the Justice League has nothing to do with me, and the Justice League and I are just a cooperative relationship.

The future direction of the Justice League should be your own internal affairs, which was made clear when I quit the Justice League last time. "

Li Lei replied seriously, "Secondly, I never thought that this organization could replace the Justice League, have you forgotten the purpose of the Justice League?

The Justice League has never been an institution that manages superheroes, and the Justice League does not accept the supervision of any government or organization.

In the final analysis, the Justice League just allows those superheroes full of justice to have a platform to communicate and cooperate, while also providing some logistical support services.

Other than that, the Justice League doesn't do much else.

Finally, don't you think the problems we're facing right now can't be solved by the Justice League alone?

More than 1000 super criminals from alien planets, do you think we can eliminate them without telling the truth from all human beings? "

Li Lei's words silenced Batman, and finally he said, "Ray, I see what you mean.

The Justice League will cooperate with Command's actions.

Like you said, we are all for a just cause and there shouldn't be much distinction. "

"Okay, guys, it's time for us to have a big fight."

Li Lei saw that the system released a program called "Hunting Alien Criminals"

Task.

According to the mission description, Li Lei and Li Lei's followers can get at least 10000 game gold coins as a reward if they don't kill an alien criminal. At the same time, any props and equipment released by the alien criminals will automatically belong to Li Lei.

Originally, Li Lei was always worried why the system didn't give him a chance to fight monsters and upgrade, so it was arranged here.

"I wonder if His Majesty the King of Qin is interested in going to the front line with us to deal with these aliens?"

"Oh?

It's rare that the host is so interested. If I refuse, wouldn't it spoil the host's interest?

That's the behavior of villains. "

Seeing Li Lei's beaming expression, Ying Zheng agreed, "Why don't you show me your true ability."

"If that's the case, get ready, we're about to set off soon."

Li Lei ordered.

Li Lei asked Hong Hou to notify the logistics department of Happy Port to replenish his Dragon King with various food and other living supplies. After a long time, Li Lei and others will use the Dragon King as their base.

In addition, Kit and Ninja were also transferred to the Dragon King. After all, this is the highest-tech combat force in Li Lei's hands. It just so happens that this group of aliens can be used as test subjects for Kit and Ninja.
