Chapter 228 The prelude to the counterattack (please support!)

"You're finally back, and the Metropolis is about to start a fight now."

Bruce started complaining as soon as he saw Ian.

Clark glanced at Bruce in surprise. He had known this man for so long and had never seen him complain to anyone.

But considering that the other party was Ian, he felt that the matter became reasonable.

"As for that? The city is like that. It's the time to make money. How can we fight?"

Ian sat on the chair, took the hot tea poured from Clark, and asked Bruce to explain the matter more clearly.

Bruce didn't care much about what happened to Ian in the universe, although he brought back a big bird and two blue-skinned aliens that humans couldn't understand at all.

"That's about it...those bastards are like greedy hyenas, everyone wants to bite us off."

Bruce makes no secret of his hatred for those people.

Ian put down the tea cup, touched his chin with his hand, and said with a smile: "These guys are more greedy than I thought, but they are also more stupid than I thought. They jumped out now and just came to kill me."

Clark and Diana were also sitting around. Compared to Diana's experience and ability, Clark was not familiar with these economic activities.

He asked: "Why do you think such a troublesome situation is a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing!"

Ian pulled out his tablet, looked at the progress of the project, and explained: "The reconstruction of the metropolis has just begun, everything is in the preparation stage, and we can withdraw at any time.

Those bastards jumping out now won't do us much harm.If they launch an attack when the metropolis is halfway through reconstruction, we will be in a difficult position, unable to divest or continue, and we will be in a dilemma. "

Clark couldn't help but shudder as he listened to Ian's story and imagined that scene.

Bruce did not hide these accounts from the superheroes, so Clark knew that just the initial investment in personnel training and equipment preparation had already exceeded hundreds of millions of dollars.

If the entire project stalls in the middle, billions of dollars of investment may be wasted.

"How do you plan to deal with those guys?"

Bruce doesn't care about money at all. For Wayne Group, the U.S. dollar is already paper that can be printed on whenever they want. With the two allies of Quinn Group and Leah Technology, money is no longer an issue.

"What I'm worried about is that if something goes wrong with this plan, the enemies of the superheroes will join forces to attack us."

Bruce explained his worries to Ian: "If it's just the villains joining forces, we can still solve it slowly. But those enemies in the political and business circles will not remain neutral and will definitely join the siege. Then we will really be the enemy of the whole world."

"So we must not let the enemies comfortably discuss plans to deal with us in the shadows, and we must attack them in divisions."

Ian touched his chin, thought for a while and then said: "The most inconspicuous of our enemies are the gangsters. The local gangsters in Metropolis are all middle-class people who lost their jobs after Brainiac invaded.

Compared with the people of Gotham, the gangs in Metropolis are not organized.As long as we don't kill a few core people, others will collapse. "

"It's not difficult. We can catch all those people in an hour."

Clark waved his fist and said awkwardly: "But the key is that there is no place to punish them. The metropolitan police have almost collapsed, and the people in the city government are working in cahoots with them."

To be honest, it is not that there are no jobs in the metropolis. The metropolitan reconstruction plan requires more manpower, but those small citizens who call themselves "middle class" would rather join the gang than work with the Gotham hillbillies.

Of course, Ian will not be soft on such people. Since he is unwilling to listen to good things, he will cut off the escape route of these guys. Those who do not repent will deserve to starve to death.

Ian's mercy is not for fools.

It's just that Clark didn't think about this level at all. His political sensitivity was too low, and he was still concerned about the consequences of the expansion of Gotham's gang.

"After several key strikes by Bruce and me, only the Penguin Black Mask and the rest of the Gotham gang were left, and the rest were sent to labor camps."

Ian looked at Bruce and said, "I kept them because I wanted to attract firepower for Wayne Group, but now it seems there is no need to keep them anymore.

Eliminating these guys will not only provide a shell for us to master the metropolitan gangs, but also provide a suitable environment for the next plan. "

Ian changed his offensive and brought the topic to the economy: "Gotham and Star City used to be large-scale steel cities, and steel production once accounted for half of the world's steel production. The reason why these industries declined later is not so much the so-called The improvement in workers' treatment is rather caused by the combination of the profit-seeking nature of the upper class of the business community and the government's inaction."

"Now that we have two markets, Gotham and Metropolis, we can contact late-developing industrial countries like China, buy steel from them, and ask them to guide us on how to rebuild factories in basic industrial categories such as steel and oil."

"Is this necessary? We can completely meet these needs through international trade." Clark thought of the southern conservatism trend that Louise had recently paid attention to.

Bruce said more bluntly: "By doing this, you are simply digging up the roots of those guys in the White House and Congress!"

"What I'm digging is their roots!"

Ian said with a stern face: "Why are the bureaucrats of the metropolitan city government so rampant? Isn't it because those consortiums that control the international trade system think they can use steel and energy to control us?
I just want to tell them that what is fake is fake, and the leveraged game is over.I overturn the table on which they are playing monopoly. Let me see what those guys can do to continue causing trouble for us. "

"Destroying someone's wealth is like killing their parents. If you do this, if they get angry and bite you like a mad dog..."

Bruce is well aware of the virtues of those people. They have long stopped treating the people at the bottom as human beings.

Ian said coldly: "I just cut off their way of making money, and those people cut off the livelihood of so many people. Until now, how many citizens of the metropolis are still living in tents and receiving rationed food.

Those bastards don't care about how to help rebuild the metropolis, they sit back and watch people live in precarious situations, and they even cause trouble on the side. "

"Offensive? Did we start it first? Of course not, it was those bastards in the White House and Congress who attacked us first. We are just defending and counterattacking now."

Ian's tone became more intense, and he slapped the table and stood up, like a furious lion. Although it was not directed at the other people present, it still made them start to think about the key to the problem.

They can wait, but the residents of the metropolis cannot wait any longer. The winter in the metropolis is not warm at all, not to mention that alcohol and drugs have gradually begun to spread among the population.

If this situation continues, large numbers of dead bodies will appear without waiting for winter.

In fact, many urban elites have committed suicide out of despair when they saw their hard-earned houses and their lives ruined, while banks kept sending debt collection bills.

Even suicide is considered restrained. Some people simply use their last money to buy an overdose of drugs and put it in their dinner, and leave this world with their families.

"I agree with your plan"

Bruce looked up at Ian. He had planned to fight back, and the plan proposed by Ian was exactly what he wanted.

"I don't have any objection, no more people can die!"

Clark thought about the tragedies he had seen in the resettlement camp and firmly supported Ian.Diana wanted to express her attitude, but was stopped by Ian.

"Why?" Diana looked at him dissatisfied.

Ian replied: "You are the princess of Paradise Island. Even if you do not reveal your identity now, when Paradise Island appears in the future, this identity will quickly overwhelm your other attributes.

Your current stance will become Paradise Island’s stance towards human society.It's best not to make a political statement without getting Queen Hippolyta's opinion. "

When Diana heard Ian's detailed explanation, her dissatisfaction immediately disappeared. She said seriously: "I have been walking in human society for thousands of years and have seen too many regime changes. Under the current order, only our union They are the only trustworthy group on Paradise Island.

Moreover, the barrier the gods have given to Paradise Island has lasted for thousands of years, and I don’t think my sisters and compatriots will appear in front of humans anytime soon. "

"I don't think so!"

Ian said in a low voice: "One of the three mother boxes left behind by Apokolips on Earth is blocked on Paradise Island. If the pioneers sent by Darkseid arrive on Earth, Paradise Island will probably be the first to arrive. being attacked."

"I never heard my mother talk about these things."

Diana just wondered why her mother told these things, instead of thinking that Ian was lying to herself. She frowned and said determinedly: "If this is the case, I need to return to Paradise Island to inform my mother and sisters that they will face danger."

"Damn it, the last time I went back to Paradise Island was 1000 years ago. I wonder what happened to my family?"

She whispered to herself for a while, then looked up at Ian, blinked and smiled: "It's a pity that I can't take you back to Paradise Island this time. Thinking of you dealing with the interrogation of my mother and the others, it's really sad interesting."

"You forgive me!"

Ian looked at Diana's sinister smile, clasped his hands and begged her for mercy.

Seeing Ian's troubled look, Diana laughed like a silver bell, did not embarrass him any more, and immediately returned to Earth through the teleportation device of the watchtower.

"You two..."

Clark looked at the interaction between Ian and Diana with his mouth wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Nothing happened to either of us."

Ian interrupted Clark's reverie and briefly described his dealings with Diana. Although he was not afraid of rumors, at this critical moment, he did not want to be distracted by sexy news.

"Anyway, don't spread the word randomly and call someone to replace the shift quickly. We still have a lot to do!"

Bruce didn't react much to this incident. As a famous playboy, he had many confidantes who could deeply understand Ian's distress.

So he quickly called Dick and Jason and asked them to come here on duty.

After the Brainiac incident, Jason officially became the Red Hood, accepted Ian's ideas, and helped the Wayne Group.

The eldest and second son of the Bat family knew about Ian's plan and agreed with both hands and feet, indicating that they would join this action.

"Now is not the time for you to take action!"

Ian said to the two brothers: "Bruce is going to find Oliver to help him completely control the Quinn Group and clean up the Quinn Group. I'm going to meet Luther's sister."

Jason was puzzled: "I thought you were going to launch a direct counterattack?"

"After launching a counterattack, we must ensure internal stability."

Ian stretched out his index finger and said to them: "Oliver's position does not need to be doubted, but the Quinn Group is indescribably messy. I don't know much about Leia Luthor, and I must bring her into our boat." . Once the stable triangular structure has loopholes and the enemy finds the flaw, then we will be in trouble."

"I hope you can succeed!"

Dick and Jason understood economic activities better than Superman and knew what the union of the three groups meant. They didn't ask any more questions and just sent him their blessings.

Immediately, the three of them left the watchtower one after another. Bruce returned to Gotham first and then looked for Alfred.

When Ian came to Metropolis, he didn't let Clark lead the way, but went to find Rachel.

After Brainiac's invasion, almost all of Metropolis' infrastructure came to a standstill, and the schools were no exception.

Rachel was so happy that she didn't have to go to school. She was running around, helping at various construction sites, and wanted to have a hand in everything.

According to Bruce, Rachel is doing quite well. No matter what kind of job she is, she can master it as long as she has been exposed to it for a period of time.

The endless magic has solved a lot of troubles, and Raven's name has spread among the workers.

Ian flew at a height of a thousand meters, closed his eyes, and after sensing for a while, he found the largest source of magic power in the metropolis.

When he arrived at the site, Rachel was standing in front of a group of workers, with dark purple magic ravens flying around her. A group of gangsters who came to the construction site to cause trouble were slapped directly into the newly dug out wings by the raven. Inside the pit.

"Why are you guys here again?"

The raven stood on the edge of the pit and said with a cold face: "This is the third time you have come here to cause trouble in a week."

"Don't talk nonsense with these people. Just break their legs and throw them out. I guarantee they won't be able to move for three months."

Ian landed next to Rachel, and his loud voice spread throughout the construction site.

Rachel grabbed his hand in surprise, and the gangster in the pit shouted fearlessly: "If you dare to touch us, the police will come to your door tomorrow and make it impossible for you to continue working on this construction site."

Rachel resisted the urge to talk to Ian about the pain of lovesickness, and whispered to him: "The construction sites in the metropolis are like this now. As long as the workers dare to resist, the police will arrive immediately."

"The metropolis is in such a mess, the police are nothing!"

Ian had planned everything a long time ago. He pressed his thumb on his middle finger and flicked it. The air was instantly compressed into an air bullet the size of a marble. It flew out, penetrated the legs of all the gangsters, and then threw them out. .

"Just wait, the police won't let you go."

The gangsters who came to cause trouble hugged their bloody thighs and shouted for the police, which made people feel dumbfounded.

However, the American police originally started out by suppressing the labor movement. When the economy was good, they could still put on the guise of "fairness and justice." However, during the turmoil, their true nature was immediately exposed.

Ian said nonchalantly: "Then let them come to me. Isn't it just making trouble? Who is afraid of whom?"
