Marvel's Umbrella
Chapter 203 Obtaining 9 State Islands
When the United States launched a nationwide level one alert and sent eleven aircraft carriers back home, the whole world began to riot because of the absence of the United States.
First of all, in the Middle East, due to the retreat of US troops, many countries have increased their blockade of the Hoopoe Kingdom.
In addition, under the leadership of Lucy, the situation in the Baba Sheep Kingdom became increasingly chaotic.
And on the European Union side, the situation between the Northern Bear Country and Ermao is becoming increasingly tense.
Meanwhile, in Mozhou, rebellions broke out among various small countries and forces.
Even though these countries will be in chaos once the United States leaves, it means that the United States is just.
You must know that conflicts between these countries have always existed, but because of the suppression of the United States, there has been no action.
Just like some small countries in Mozhou, they relied on selling out their own interests and currying favor with American talents to sit on the position of head of state.
Now that the United States has withdrawn, various conflicts have naturally erupted.
Only Asia is the most stable, and all countries dare not act recklessly because of the existence of the Dragon Country.
It can be said that as long as the Dragon Country does not want chaos, there will be no chaos in Asia.
……
In the presidential palace of Sakura Country.
Mariko is processing documents.
Since being elected head of state, she has been very busy and has had fewer opportunities to contribute to the United States.
Just as she was busy dealing with documents, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Please come in."
As the door was pushed open, Luna walked in wearing a small suit, black stockings and high heels.
"Ms. Mariko, our boss has a new task for you."
Hearing this, Mariko immediately put down the documents in her hand.
"What mission?"
"Grant us a piece of land on Kyushu Island, at least ten square kilometers."
A year ago, the Sakura Country basically cleared out all the zombies on Kyushu Island.
However, because zombies still appear from corners from time to time, few people from Kyushu Island immigrate there. Even if the government spends a lot of money, not many people come.
Li Feng had his eyes on the land of Kyushu Island and planned to build Umbrella's second headquarters to reduce the losses that might result from a future breakup with the U.S. government.
When she heard that it was Kyushu Island, Mariko hesitated and said, "Are you sure you want Kyushu Island? The situation there is very bad.
Currently, the immigrants are homeless and bankrupt, and even if I approve zero taxation for the next ten years, almost no one will go."
Luna nodded in understanding.
"I can give you some performance tips. How about this? You can directly approve 50 square kilometers of land at the lowest price possible, and then change the ten-year tax exemption to twenty years."
"this…"
Mariko felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
After all, fifty square kilometers is not a small place, and twenty years of tax exemption means that the other party will not bring any income to the Sakura government in the next twenty years.
Although the Umbrella Group will bring huge economic benefits to Sakura Country, increase employment rate, and drive upstream and downstream industries.
But voters don’t care about that.
By then, her political opponents will definitely use this to discredit her or even drive her out of office.
But after thinking about it, she nodded.
"can."
Although this kind of contract may cause her to step down next year, no matter how well she does, she will only serve for two terms and will have to step down anyway.
So it would be better to take the opportunity to please Umbrella and gain more benefits.
Next, the two discussed the details of the investment.
While they were chatting, they didn't notice that a group of ninjas in black tights appeared around the Shuriken Palace.
They moved quickly and nimbly, evading the outer guards.
If they really can't escape, use a blow needle to make them unconscious.
As for some cameras, it's even simpler.
They seemed to have received professional training and walked away from the cameras.
After a while, they arrived near the head of state's office.
"Ms. Luna, it's okay for us to loan 1 billion Midao, but I'm afraid it won't work without interest. The finance minister will come after me."
"Then the interest rate is one point."
"Two o'clock."
"Two points? That's a bit high, but I agree."
"Also, you said that employees who break the law are not subject to punishment under the laws of Sakura Country, but are extradited to the United States. I'm afraid that's not possible."
"No, this is a must to ensure the safety of my employees."
“Ms. Luna, although I really want to agree, the other councillors will never agree.
This is just like the old French Concession.”
"But isn't it different now? Just like when American soldiers offended women from your country of Sakura, they were not subject to your laws at all.
And it’s not just your country of cherry blossoms, but also the nearby country of Korea.”
"This is different. That is a law left over from the old times. It cannot be changed now. Besides, you are not the US military."
"Is there any other way?"
"In this way, we can sign a treaty that civil cases will not be managed by Sakura Country, and criminal cases will be jointly investigated."
"That's a good idea. After all, this is a civil case or a criminal case. Isn't the final right of interpretation in your hands?"
"Forehead…"
Just as several ninjas were eavesdropping, a loud shout suddenly rang out.
"Who's there?"
"It's a ninja!"
The ninjas turned around and saw that the bodyguards at the door had discovered them.
Seeing this, the leading ninja said in a low voice: "The plan remains the same, and no one will be left alive!"
"Hi!"
Several ninja subordinates immediately took out kunai and threw them at the bodyguards at the door.
Then they drew their ninja swords from their backs and prepared to charge in.
As ninjas who have trained for many years, they are confident that the kunai in their hands can kill the enemy.
Once the bodyguards were dead, the rest of the task would be easy.
But when the kunai flew in front of the bodyguard, it made a "ding-ding-dang-dang..." sound.
The bodyguard was unharmed, and several ninjas looked incredulous.
You have to know that they have been practicing kunai for more than ten years, and even bulletproof vests can't withstand their kunai.
But now it can’t even pierce the clothes of several bodyguards?
Before the ninjas could react, several bodyguards tore off their clothes, revealing their metallic armor.
"Epsilon Team, protect Miss Luna's safety!"
It turns out that they are not ordinary bodyguards, but the Epsilon Squad of the USS Special Forces, which specializes in protecting important people.
The next second, they put on their helmets and pulled the triggers of their electromagnetic rifles at the ninjas.
"Zizzizi..."
After a storm of bullets, most of the ninjas were killed or injured.
The remaining ninjas either jumped out of the window or hid behind the wall.
After a while, Luna and Mariko in the office heard the noise and pushed open the door.
"what's going on?"
"Ms. Luna, there is a ninja assassination."
"What? How did they know I was here?"
Luna looked confused.
After all, she had not informed anyone about this trip to the Sakura Country, and no one knew about it except a few senior executives. But she soon came to her senses and looked at Mariko next to her.
"They seem to be coming for you?"
Mariko nodded with a grim expression.
“It’s the Hand, they’ve been trying to get a handle on the military, but I rejected them.
I didn’t expect they would dare to assassinate me directly.”
After saying that, she returned to the office and put on the adamantium armor.
Ever since her father was thrown to death, this set of armor naturally became her exclusive property.
In order to protect her own safety, she always keeps it with her.
After all, the situation in Sakura Country has become increasingly chaotic in recent years.
At this time, the captain of the Epsilon team came to Luna and looked at the ninja in the darkness in the distance with a serious face.
"Ms. Luna, please call the armor. Since the enemy has come to the President's Palace to assassinate, it means that they must have a backup plan."
Luna nodded and called the Sentinel Armor to the White Queen.
In the United States, she is called the Red Queen, and in the Sakura Country, she is naturally called the White Queen.
Before Bai Hou's sentinel armor could fly over, reinforcements seemed to have arrived from the ninja in the darkness in the distance.
I saw black figures appearing around one after another, and then these ninjas cast illusions, creating a large number of clones and rushing over.
At the same time, their real bodies also mixed in with the clones, taking the opportunity to rush over, throwing kunai in their hands.
This time they seemed to have added the power of black sky to the kunai, leaving quite a few traces on the armor of the Epsilon team members.
The Epsilon team was no pushover either, and they quickly pulled the trigger and fought back.
"Zizzizi..."
But this time the effect was far worse than before.
Most of the bullets hit the clone.
After these clones were hit by bullets, only holes appeared, but they continued to charge.
It's totally unlike that clone that shatters at the slightest touch.
This also greatly increases the difficulty of shooting for the Epsilon team.
A few seconds later, the ninjas approached the Epsilon team and drew their swords.
The members of the Epsilon team also drew out the greatswords behind them and slashed forward.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Because the space in the corridor is limited, the terrain is still favorable to the Epsilon team.
After all, the nimble ninjas cannot display their skills here at all.
The ninja captain at the back also noticed this situation and his face turned cold.
"Break down the wall!"
Hearing this, several ninjas immediately turned their swords and slashed at the wall next to them.
"Boom..."
After a while, the wall was cut open and the terrain suddenly became wider.
At this time, the Sentinel Armor in the distance had already flown over, followed closely by five Sentinel robots.
As Luna put on her armor, she said jokingly, "You're not a very good leader.
After their assassination attempt failed, they didn't even retreat, and even made such a big noise. They weren't afraid of you at all."
Mariko said helplessly: “The top levels of the government have been infiltrated severely, and even many people in the military support the Hand.
Especially in the past two years, with so much commotion happening in the United States, these people can no longer hold back.”
The people of Sakura are not fools, and they know who threw the two mushroom bombs.
But because the United States is so powerful, the people of Sakura can only show their loyalty and act like lackeys.
Now that the United States is overwhelmed by several crises, the people of Sakura have naturally started to make small moves.
For example, this time the Hand is clamoring to control military power. It seems that the Hand is overestimating its own capabilities, but it may also be a test by the top leaders of the Sakura Country.
If the military reform is successful, the Sakura Country will be able to restore its military strength to that of a normal country.
By then we will build aircraft carriers, develop mushroom bombs, long-range missiles, etc.
If they fail, they can just use the Societies as scapegoats, and it has nothing to do with their top brass.
Of course Mariko knew what these higher-ups were thinking.
But she got her position as head of state with the help of the US military and Umbrella.
So naturally she had to stop this from happening.
Otherwise, if the military reform succeeds, she will be the first to be liquidated.
This is also why the Shura Society became so ruthless and directly assassinated the head of state.
As the battle progressed, the ninjas became more and more anxious.
With the addition of five sentinel robots, the situation suddenly reversed.
In addition, Mariko put on the adamantium armor. The ninja captain tried to sneak up on the opponent and assassinate her several times, but he was powerless against the armor, so he had to give up the mission.
“Shh…”
With a whistle, all the ninjas fled the scene.
The Epsilon team's mission is to protect Luna, so naturally they won't chase her.
After a while, Luna and Mariko came to the Yashida Group and continued their discussion in the office.
"If you help me deal with the Hand, I will personally invest 500 million Mi Yuan in you, and I won't take any dividends."
In response to Mariko's words, Luna just shook her head lightly.
"We already have too much money without your investment."
Indeed, because of its nearly monopolistic business, Umbrella has made a fortune in the past two years.
The reason why it is said to be a near monopoly is that there is another company, Hammer Industries, which is also engaged in the production of robots.
But compared with the Umbrella Group, their robots are too poor and can only make low-end products.
"Then what do you want?"
Luna smiled.
"I want the entire Kyushu Island..."
"this…"
Mariko was shocked by Luna's appetite, but she had no say in this matter.
"You think too highly of me. I don't have the power to do that."
"You didn't have it before, but you do now."
"How to say?"
"We can use the matter of the Handicap Association to challenge those congressmen."
……
three days later.
A piece of news from the Land of Sakura shocked the whole world.
Umbrella Group leased the entire Kyushu Island for ninety-nine years.
The Umbrella Group also announced that it would move its headquarters there.
Of course, although this news was shocking, in this chaotic era, it was quickly overshadowed by the latest news from the Hoopoe Kingdom.
In order to win, the Hoopoe Kingdom released poison gas in the Baba Sheep Kingdom, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians.
This news was immediately hotly discussed and even condemned around the world.
However, due to the occurrence of several major crises, the death toll has reached millions, and everyone has become numb, so the condemnation is not that intense.
Everyone knows the situation in the Hoopoe Kingdom.
When they get ruthless, they even ban the Bible.
What's more, the right to speak in public opinion is in the hands of the hoopoe people, and many people don't even know this news.
But compared to the indifference of the Western world, the Middle East is very lively.
The formation of an anti-hoopoe alliance was soon put on the agenda. (End of this chapter)
