The Richest Man in the DC World

"Mr. Xiao, please pay attention to the tone of your speech. No one sitting here wants the earth to perish."

Sam Lane's expression was serious, with unquestionable toughness, and Luke was silent for a moment to give him face.

"Okay, I take back what I said before, you can continue the discussion."

Everyone looked at each other, each as big as an ox. The power they controlled was no problem against the indigenous people in the Middle East, but they couldn't do anything in front of the aliens. The atmosphere was a little quiet. After a while, the CIA representative said,

"You can let someone from the Department of Heteropathies try it."

The representative of the FBI, Coent, said displeasedly, "Superpowers are not gods, and they can't deal with such monsters."

The CIA representative smiled, "Just try it, if it doesn't work, withdraw it."

"It's easy for you to say, how do you..."

"All right!"

Sam Lane raised his hand, did not let the two sides argue, and turned his eyes to Luke,

"Mr. Xiao, you know Krypton best, and I want to know how they will deploy if the war starts."

"Finally remembered this question."

Luke raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a touch of irony,

"I haven't been on the battlefield, and I don't know what war looks like, but I know one thing: the utilization and integration of resources."

"Krypton is a highly developed cosmic civilization. Their technology is more than tens of thousands of years ahead of us. It is almost impossible to defeat them with weapons. Even if you throw all the nuclear bombs on Earth into outer space, it will not work. "

"Fortunately, Krypton has perished, leaving only the last survivors such as Zod. Their number is not many, no more than twenty. This is where we have the most advantage."

Sam Lane couldn't help but said, "You're sure there are only twenty of them."

Others also pricked up their ears. If there are only twenty people on the other side, it can be solved by other means such as negotiation.

"certainly."

Luke leaned back in his chair, "Every word I just said can be guaranteed by personality."

Sam Lane let out a long breath and communicated in a low voice with the generals beside him. Everyone whispered, and the words were full of all kinds of conspiracies.

Luke lit a cigar and puffed on it.

After a while, Sam Lane looked up and said,

"Mr. Xiao, can you arrange for us to have a conversation with Zod."

Did you know it would be like this?

Luke shook his head in his heart. When facing the unknown fear, most people think not to overcome it, but to understand it,

"General Ryan, I want to ask you a question. If you are the zoo manager, one day, the gorilla in the crate wants to negotiate with you because of the venue problem, how would you solve it?"

Sam Lane frowned, "I don't understand what you mean."

"In the eyes of higher civilizations, the earth is no different from the uncivilized natives. If you ignore the demands of the gorillas, how can you expect them to calm down and talk to us."

"One more thing, Krypton is dead. As survivors of the race, guess what their greatest wish is?"

As soon as a sentence fell, the expressions of everyone changed suddenly, and Coent murmured,

"Rebuilding civilization, they want to rebuild civilization?"

"Yes, the purpose of Zod's coming to Earth is to rebuild Krypton here. The birth of one civilization means the destruction of another civilization, everyone..."

Luke snuffed out the cigar, very serious, "Don't have any illusions, there is no other choice but to fight."

The atmosphere was so depressing that even Sam Lane, who had been on the battlefield, felt the shadow in his heart. There was no morality in the war between races. In the face of the Kryptonians, who were leading in all aspects of technology and force, the Earth had no advantage other than population. .

After the meeting, everyone left with a lot of thought, Luke did not go back, but stayed in the room to rest.

He has said everything that needs to be said, and the rest is to wait. If the group of people are not hopelessly stupid, they should understand the meaning of what they said just now.

Time passed by minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was half an hour.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

a knock on the door,

Luke stood up suddenly, opened the door, and after seeing several people outside the door, he couldn't help laughing,

"I didn't expect you to come too."

Defense Minister Rauman Gaunt took off his hat,

"If you want something, you can only come to visit."

"Please."

Luke invited a few people into the room, "I thought I would have to wait another half an hour."

"It's a matter of national security, I can't wait a minute."

Ruman Gaunt gave a wry smile and pointed to the few people beside him to introduce, "Donnes, Deputy Speaker of the Congress, Dirk, Director of the Department of Justice, I won't introduce Sam Lane, you should know him."

The three greeted Luke, who responded one by one,

Ruoman Gaunt said, "Mr. Xiao, I just want to ask you one question, is there a solution to this matter?"

Luke nodded, "A 70% chance of winning."

"What about casualties?"

"Within 100,000 people."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. One hundred thousand people was not much or not, which was barely acceptable.

"Say your conditions, as long as it is within a reasonable range, we will seriously consider it."

Rumman Gaunt is much stronger than Sam Lane, not at all sloppy.

Luke smiled and said, "I don't have any needs myself. All the conditions I put forward are for Linda. You know, she is a Kryptonian. She came to live on earth for some reason and regards this as her second home."

"She is willing to give strength to this family, so what is the return?"

Ruman Gaunt said without hesitation,

"I hereby guarantee that as long as she stands on the side of the earth, she will be respected accordingly, and her origin, blood, and grudges with the FBI will no longer be a problem, and she will receive all civil rights."

Luke looked at the other three, "How about you?"

Downes and Dirk were silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Looks like we're off to a good start."

Luke smiled slightly and continued, "The second is dealing with the problem after the war. Linda is a Kryptonian. She can fight for the earth, but it does not mean that she is willing to see the corpses of her compatriots being used for research. After the war, All Kryptonian remains and ship debris must be returned to her."

Downes said displeased,

"This request is too much. We can return the body to Miss Danvers. The wreckage of the spacecraft is not acceptable. It is a trophy. The war broke out on Earth, and we should have the right to obtain the trophy."

"That's your opinion, she doesn't think so."

"how about you?"

Sam Lane spoke, staring at Luke, "What's your point of view?"

"I'm from Earth, and of course I'm on your side."

Sam Lane sneered and was about to speak, but was stopped by Ruman Gaunt, who said word by word,

"We agreed to this condition. However, Earth needs Kryptonian technology. Please tell Miss Danvers that if she is willing to provide the wreckage of the spacecraft, we will definitely give it back."

Luke gave him a deep look,

"As expected of the Minister of Defense, it is really refreshing. I agreed to your request for her."

Sam Lane widened his eyes, "You can call the shots?"

Luke sneered, "She's mine, why can't I call the shots."
