Chapter 436 Thank you for your trouble (Please subscribe, read, vote and comment)
"The show is over, and the effect is pretty good!"

Martin extended his power outward through the Golden Spirit, always focusing on the changes in the surrounding magnetic field and noticing the constantly changing electromagnetic signals.

The general process of intelligence work is actually collection, which is to search for all possibilities related to an event as much as possible, and then make recommendations to superiors.

Normally, superiors will not pay attention to all the work. As long as the department that makes the suggestion is willing to take responsibility, they will let their subordinates act independently.

Modern society is becoming increasingly complex. Those who try to do all the work themselves will never get any good results, even if they exhaust themselves to death.

"If we retreat now, what will happen to these soldiers?"

The Martian Hunter stretched out his hand, and his mental power spread and swept around, directly knocking the energy beams shot by the surrounding soldiers and themselves into the sand.

"This desert is huge. Even if their armored vehicles are destroyed, it will take at least two or three days to get there. But in less than a day, the forces of other countries will intervene here."

Martin didn't care about the outcome of these soldiers. Most of them were modified humans and had no human consciousness at all.

The remaining officers are all beneficiaries to some extent. No matter what the final outcome is, it is their own choice.

boom!
Martin transformed from a beast warrior into a human again, holding the mother box in one hand, and a sonic boom channel fell from the sky.

"Once this army was exposed, the governments of several major countries were more anxious to know their origins than we were. We also gained a few more helpers invisibly."

"I'd like to take this opportunity to discuss with Bruce the location of the new city for the Justice League. You should also quickly find an excuse to get rid of your identity as a general. I want you to take over the personnel work that Arthur is in charge of. He can't always stay on land."

"Human resources work is the core of an organization. It's not appropriate to hand it over to a latecomer like me so easily!"

The Martian Hunter was very surprised. He wanted to get to the bottom of things, so he used his mental power to pinch the iron filings around him to form an iron wall to keep all the soldiers out.

"Don't employ people you don't trust! Besides, this is just my idea. We need to discuss with other people whether you can take on this job. Even if this appointment is approved, you have to get rid of your current identity as a general first."

Martin knew that Martian Manhunter didn't like violence, and given his own personality and abilities, it was actually appropriate for him to take over the personnel work.

But as the Justice League expands, more and more people are involved in various positions, and things can no longer be done based on personal connections.

"Fortunately, you joined us before the new city was built. After the new city was built, more and more people were involved in the alliance. If I wanted to push you, it would not be as simple as a few words."

Martin pulled the Martian Hunter into the sonic boom tunnel, sent him back to Washington first, and then he found Bruce.

When Martin showed up, Bruce was ready to take a group of people on a private plane to meet with the people who were sharing the Krypton Technology Conference.

"You are really good at making trouble. It's only been a few hours and you've already alerted the intelligence departments of various countries."

Bruce was certainly happy.

Originally, no one wanted to get involved in the Justice League's affairs. Everyone had a large family and any decision could result in an irreparable mistake, so everyone thought it was better to have less trouble than more.

But Martin did this to reveal the existence of an unknown army on Earth.

Things become very different. When the situation becomes chaotic, those who have courage will make the decision.

At least now, many people have given positive responses to the Justice League's proposal.

"It's better to be alarmed by me than by Apocalypse. Now I'm just provoking them indirectly. When Apocalypse arrives, what will be thrown at them will not be bad news, but orbital bombardment."

Martin asked the negotiation team organized by Bruce to go to the airport first. These young people were all superhumans discovered by Arthur from peripheral organizations that had cooperation with the Justice League. They were all qualified from professional qualities to personal concepts.

"I came to you to discuss the site selection. This matter cannot be delayed. Only by starting work immediately can those who are watching us make up their minds to place a bet."

Bruce looked at his watch and said helplessly, "Although this matter is important, the plane will take off in seven minutes. We only have five minutes."

"Five minutes is enough!"

Martin said quickly: "I mean to directly transform uninhabited areas such as deserts or rainforests. These places are originally separated by multiple countries. Either the environment is harsh or it is difficult to develop. It is not difficult to take them down."

"It's not a problem to take over the ownership of those places, but the initial investment in renovating them is too high. And the key is people, we are short of people!"

Bruce had worried about many problems since he was a child, but he had never thought that one day he would be short of people.

No matter it is the Wayne Group or the Wayne Family, as long as a recruitment message is issued, everyone from Ivy League graduates to talents from various government and scientific research departments will rush to him.

But to the Justice League, these people are uncontrollable, and their expertise cannot make up for their ideological problems.

Even though Arthur is working non-stop to build a talent training channel for the league, this speed is still not enough for what the Justice League has to do.

If the Justice League wants to stay in the United States, this is actually not a problem. Although the grassroots education in the United States is poor, the education system above the university level is indeed reliable.

The Justice League can gather a large number of people by simply recruiting college students who are unable to enter the scientific research system and providing them with rapid training.

But now that the Justice League is leaving the United States, it cannot rely on people trained in the American education system.

Those young men would not abandon their families, and Martin and Bruce would not let that happen.

"There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds. If we want to develop without constraints, we must shoulder this responsibility."

Martin also had a headache. No matter how capable he was, he couldn't create a group of professionals with independent beliefs out of thin air.

"Transforming the desert is a big project, but it doesn't have to be complicated. The most important thing now is speed. If technology doesn't work, we can use magic."

"As long as we can get through the initial difficulties, we can recruit people from other countries. Higher education in industrialized countries is already saturated. Every year, a large proportion of college graduates are working in various meaningless jobs after entering society.

We use commercial contracts to recruit these people to new cities, which not only helps us select reliable people, but also relieves social pressure in those countries.”

"Well, it seems that this is the only way."

Bruce still has some pre-modern family logic in his mind.

He could use people recruited under commercial contracts without scruples, but it was difficult for him to treat them as his own people.

He also knew his shortcomings, so he stopped discussing it with Martin and said directly: "I will listen to you on this matter. I support you in everything you do!"

Martin was not polite either. They could be humble in private matters, but there was no need to be polite in official matters.

"I'm going to transfer Clark to be in charge of the new city project. You need to select someone to contact the US military, lest those veterans treat us as enemies in a fit of rage."

Martin informed Bruce about the transfer of Clark and the acceptance of Martian Manhunter into the Justice League.

Bruce also didn't expect that a Martian could hide in the U.S. government for more than ten years without being discovered.

"It seems that the order that the White House and Congress are trying so hard to maintain is a sieve full of holes. I can't let this opportunity go."

At least five plans on how to use this information instantly popped up in Bruce's mind.

He can ensure that the identity of Martian Manhunter is not revealed, and use this information to attack the government to protect the Justice League.

Using public opinion to attack the government is not a new tactic for American financial groups.

International financial consortiums want governments to relax restrictions on capital flows, so they will desperately promote neoliberalism.

Families and financial groups rooted in the United States who do not want to be defeated by international capital will stir up populism in resistance.

If there is a big government, it will strike a balance between the two to ensure that the country as a community can move forward smoothly.

The situation of the American government is more complicated. It is unable to act as a arbitrator and can only waver back and forth between left and right.

When there is no problem with the community itself, this left-right swing will ensure that it does not deviate from its trajectory.

But once dissent arises within this community, this left-right swaying will tear the community directly into two halves, or even into more pieces.

"Just deal with the US government halfheartedly and don't pay too much attention to them."

Martin was too lazy to fight the United States, mainly because it was meaningless.

"Once we get to Apocalypse, everyone will know how weak this so-called world hegemon is. Without us, with the current level of organization of the United States, it will be good enough to keep the U.S. mainland from being destroyed."

In any case, the United States still controls the international order. Even if the army cannot win, they can use economic blockade to force other countries to surrender. But for a cosmic force from outside the earth, the United States' soft power is useless, and it can only use the military to resist.

But everyone knows what the US military looks like.

They have no problem fighting small wars and security battles, but they are powerless against large-scale wars, especially those involving the universe.

Now that the Justice League is on the run, how long can they hold out?

Talking about this, Bruce sighed helplessly: "I know you don't care about the United States, but most of the members of the alliance are Americans. When you speak, you still have to pay attention to the impact."

"Don't worry, I'm measured!"

Martin nodded to Bruce and ended the conversation.

He used the Mother Box to teleport Booth directly onto the plane, and then he moved to Gotham to find Poison Ivy.

Martin knocked on the door and saw Ivy with anger written all over her face: "It's already noon, and you're still in your pajamas. Are you still not up yet?"

"none of your business?"

Ivy crossed her arms over her chest. If Martin wasn't so powerful, she really wanted to punch the bastard who woke her up in the head.

Martin knew he was right when he saw her reaction, but he didn't comment on it. He went straight to the point and said, "I came here to ask you what you think about it?"

"It's not even a day yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ivy actually has no concept of time. After all, she used to be a criminal and she just does whatever she wants.

"I've said before, if you agree, all your questions will be answered. If you don't agree, don't ask anymore, I won't tell you anything."

Although the Justice League moved as a group, the only people who knew they had to relocate were core members and vetted reliable people.

Not only is Ivy not a member of the Justice League, she is even a former criminal. Of course, she has no right to know these things.

Ivy was not a fool. Of course, the operation that Martin kept so secret was a big one, which further aroused her curiosity to explore the secret.

"You don't say anything. Is this a gesture to ask me for help?"

"I hired you to design a plan to green the desert. I paid you a lot of money. Don't act like I'm getting it for free."

Martin didn't fall for Ivy's tricks and bluntly rejected her attempt to get close to him.

"Whatever you think, just answer yes or no. Don't bother with me here. I really don't have time to waste."

"I am the best botanist in the world. I guarantee that you will regret it if you give up on me."

Ivy was not exaggerating. Even without the protection of the Green of All Things, her research on plants was indeed world-class.

She found out that those plants not only survived tenaciously in Gotham, a ghost town full of waste gas and wastewater, but they could even continue to expand.

It was because of this that Martin came to Ivy first.

"You are indeed the most unique person in the world in terms of botany research. But I think we don't have to use science to green the desert. We can also look for swamp monsters. The old trees in the Journey of All Things will definitely be happy to see the Sahara Desert green again."

"Besides, the swamp monster has an advantage that you definitely don't have."

"what?"

Ivy followed Martin's words and expressed doubts.

"Swamp Monster knows the boundary between plants and humans. If we ask him to help with our greening project, at least there won't be any weird man-eating plants popping up."

The more Martin talked, the more he felt that there was no need for him to get entangled with Ivy here, so his willingness to persuade the other party became weaker and weaker.

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, he prepared to leave: "You can take your time to think about it. This is a big project. Even if you are not interested now, you may change your mind at some point. No matter when you come, I welcome you!"

"and many more!"

Seeing that Martin was about to leave and was not pretending to scare people, Ivy quickly stopped him.

"If we don't agree, are you going to go find the swamp monster?"

"Whether you agree or not, I'm going to find the swamp monster. What I need now is time. Whether it's science or magic, as long as it's useful, it will be fine."

Although Martin said this, whoever joins first will obviously gain control of the plan.

"Well, if you want the swamp monster to lead this greening project, then I'll give you my promise now."

Although Martin stopped walking, he still looked at her suspiciously: "I am not interested in the internal struggle of the Green of All Things, but if you want to use this project to attack the swamp monster, I will not be polite to you."

"Don't worry, I'm crazy but not stupid. I know you can't mess with me."

Ivy didn't have any special reaction to Martin's words. If it were her, she would have the same attitude as Martin:

"I have a good relationship with the swamp monster, but I hate those old guys behind him. Don't worry, I promise to design this greening plan based on human standards and will not add any self-aware things into it. However, I will reduce the number of trees in this plan."

The plant spirits among the green of all things are indeed powerful, but they are spirits formed by the aggregation of countless plants.

It is difficult for a single plant to develop intelligence like humans. Although the carnivorous plants created by Ivy are crazy and look very human, that is just a manifestation of Ivy's personality and cannot be considered an independent life.

"As long as the plan is reasonable, I don't care how disgusting those things behind the swamp monster are."

Martin took out the contract he had prepared long ago, walked into the room, and placed it in front of Ivy.

"Take a look. Your salary, requirements, job responsibilities, and things that need to be kept confidential are all clearly written. If you think there is anything missing, we can add it."

Ivy picked up the contract and read it carefully. Originally, she didn't care about signing a contract, but when she saw the cover of the contract clearly stated that it was a magic contract, she immediately changed her attitude and carefully considered every clause in the contract.

Martin is not a devil. The contract he designed casts magic only for the sake of confidentiality, and there are no traps in the terms.

But Ivy became more and more frightened the more she looked, especially when she saw something she needed to keep secret. She stared at Martin and asked, "Are you crazy? You actually want to abandon the United States and run to that godforsaken place in Africa to start over?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Martin had no urge to explain to Ivy.

He can talk about his vision and plans for the future to the members of the Justice League because they share the same ideals.

But does Ivy have an ideal? Martin is not sure.

But he knew that these villains in Gotham were a group of hopeless people.

The reason why the clown is difficult to deal with is not because of his spirit, but because he is just a piece of rotten meat with no future or hope, so no one can do anything to him.

Because this guy was already finished.

"If you want to quit, you can sign another confidentiality agreement, and we'll part ways and never have to meet again."

"No, I will never miss such an interesting thing. I really want to see what the final outcome of you crazy people will be."

Without waiting for Martin to take out the confidentiality agreement, Ivy ignored the half-read agreement and signed her name directly.

"As long as you can provide enough information, I can come up with a complete plan within a week. I will contact the swamp monster. He doesn't like outsiders. It would be a waste of time if you go looking for him by yourself."

"No problem, thank you for your concern!"
