Chapter 477 Prepare your resignation (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)

“These people finally fell out!”

Martin stopped on the street in Gotham and watched the news on the big screen. It took him a moment to realize who was behind this incident.

"Hello, Bruce, Clark, are you there? I have something very urgent and need help!"

Barbara's voice rang out in the Justice League's exclusive secret group chat. Clark responded first, and Bruce was a step slower, but he became the one who made everyone listen to him.

"Barbara, we've all watched the press conference in Washington and we know what they're going to do. What are you going to do?"

Clark didn't say anything. He was suddenly forced to compete with Washington, which made him a little uncomfortable and difficult to make a decision.

"Of course we need to transfer our assets and evacuate our people to a safe place. You also know what the members who remain in the United States are thinking. They are not prepared at all and will definitely be driven crazy by various means used by those officials."

Barbara opened her mouth and blurted out a series of words, which showed that she had no trust in those violent institutions in the United States.

"Do you think it is feasible to evacuate all the people in a short period of time?"

Martin's insertion into the conversation made Barbara ecstatic.

"Oh my god, Martin, I'm so glad you're here, I thought you were still missing!"

"I came back yesterday, but that's not the point. Let's continue discussing this pressing matter."

Barbara's emotional changes were captured by Bruce and Clark, and they both marveled at Martin's special power that could convince people.

"We have a lot of assets in the form of physical machines and real estate, and it's almost impossible to transfer them in a short period of time. As for getting our members to leave, it's even more difficult. They are Americans, and their families are still here. Even if they leave, they will be coerced."

Barbara was in a very low mood. She thought about the work Martin assigned to her and felt disappointed that it had not been effective.

"That's exactly what I was thinking about, so I asked you the question just now!"

Martin is not really a hands-off boss. Before assigning tasks to others, he always thinks about the possible troubles and has a rough idea of how much work can be accomplished.

"Withdrawal is an impossible option. Washington will never let us leave so easily. Moreover, there is a bald Lex Luthor stirring up trouble behind the scenes, which makes it even more difficult."

"Lex Luthor?"

Clark was surprised. If Martin hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten the name. "His company was already gone. How could he have planned such an action against us in Washington?"

After working as a supervisor for a while, Clark also understood certain rules. People with high IQs like Luthor seemed out of reach for ordinary people.

But to the people in Washington, it's actually nothing.

No group will welcome a smart person who is not one of their own, especially a bald guy like Luther who despises everything. If he loses his assets, no one will give him a second chance.

"Luther joined the traitors who surrendered to Apokolips. Those traitors tried their best to hide themselves and used various means to divert our attention. This time, it is estimated that those traitors are supporting Luther behind the scenes."

Martin still stared at Luther, ready to make a breakthrough from him.

"Shameless!"

Clark cursed in a low voice: "I thought that Luthor, although arrogant, still had some dignity. But I didn't expect that he would fall so low as to sell out the Earth."

"Save the moral criticism!"

Martin interrupted Clark and told him his plan: "The enemy is coming with such force that hiding is impossible. So, we have to make a bigger news. As the saying goes, if you want to put out a big fire, you have to create a bigger explosion next to it."

"Find out all the bases of those traitors in the United States, and I'll see what excuses people in Washington can come up with to frame us."

Did the Justice League cause trouble for the United States? Of course it did!

But those things that can be checked are completely legal. The other party can't find anything that can be used as evidence.

If Washington wants to take action against the Justice League, it must fabricate charges and catch young people who have never experienced any cruelty.

Of course, this is nothing new. In the end, it often comes down to who can't hold on first.

There are many members in the Justice League who place too much emphasis on morality, so if things really go like this, Martin and his team will definitely be the first to collapse.

However, this method of fabricating charges has a fatal flaw, which is that it must be carried out in secret and the facts must be quickly established so that the criminals cannot change their confessions.

Otherwise, once the opponent catches you, you will be unable to proceed.

Therefore, Martin wants to dig out all the stuff of those traitors in the United States, and use a bigger news to put pressure on Washington from all sides, so that they can't use this method against the young people of the Justice League.

"That's all!"

Bruce and Clark couldn't think of a better way to handle the situation.

The Justice League has a lot of assets and people left in the United States. It is not easy to transfer them away, let alone transfer them quickly in a short period of time, which is almost impossible.

"Martin, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter!"

Bruce and Clark said this in unison, which made Martin laugh.

"You two are quite in sync. You know how to push the trouble onto me at this time. Why can't you take the initiative and bravely take on this task?"

Facing Martin's questioning, Bruce said calmly, "My negotiations have reached a critical moment. I am just one step away from convincing the other party to join forces with us to deal with the threat from Apocalypse. At this critical moment, I simply cannot get away."

Clark then said, "You know the construction of the new city better than I do. People are even more indispensable here. Besides, why did you let Ron be responsible for dealing with those rebellions? Don't you trust me at all?"

"You can't be cruel until the last moment. That's why you choose Rong En."

Martin knew Clark didn't care about it at all, so he didn't explain too much.

Clark also knew his own character, and he was relieved that Ron could share the pressure with him.

"I can only make the beginning. It is impossible for me to uncover all the secrets hidden in the dark one by one. So, you should be prepared and support me at any time."

Bruce and Clark both became serious and said they would be at Martin's beck and call at any time, and then ended the short meeting.

At the same time, Barbara also rode a motorcycle, following the signal, and found Martin on the street.

"The sports car you transformed into today is pretty cool!"

Barbara knew Martin's identity today from the intranet, so she just turned around and admired Martin's smooth lines. "Are you interested in machinery too?"

As Martin spoke, the mechanical parts of his body moved and recombine, turning into a nearly ten-meter-tall mechanical giant. He half-knelt on the ground and looked down at Barbara.

Barbara was startled by the deformation of the parts and quickly took two steps back. She watched with her own eyes as Martin deformed like a Transformer, with his little mouth becoming an "O" shape. She was very surprised.

"I didn't expect that what they said was actually true. You look no different from a Transformer."

Barbara was amazed, curious about how Martin became like this, and tilted her front body slightly to get a clearer look at the mechanical structure inside.

Martin was not used to the feeling of being stared at. He extended his index finger, gently pushed Barbara away, and said to her, "The difference between me and the Transformers is quite big. It is very different from the technology on Earth. It is hard to explain in a few words."

Whether it is Transformers or the races in the world of mechanical warfare, their birth carries some flavor of absolute will, which cannot be explained by the so-called mechanical science theory.

"Oh, you are always full of incomprehensible wonders. I think I should get used to it."

Barbara retracted her curious gaze and started talking about business: "Gotham is a place where ghosts are stirred up. Although Washington has made public statements, no one is willing to come to this ghost place and cause trouble for us. After we packaged and sold Gotham's assets and reorganized them into a new human resources company, the chaos in Gotham has been reduced a lot."

"But this is just the calm before the storm. I know those hiding in the dark are watching us. As soon as the first batch of immigrants leave Gotham, those greedy rats will run out of the darkness and drag Gotham into hell."

“We can’t save everyone.”

Martin didn't need to look carefully to know that in the corner of this deserted street, countless pairs of eyes were staring at him and Barbara.

"Yes, that's what my father advised me too."

Barbara shook her head and accepted the fact somewhat unwillingly.

"You misunderstood me. There are too many people from third world countries in Gotham City. It is impossible for us to improve their lives in Gotham."

Martin spoke to the point. Barbara had acquired a lot of information through her work during this period and roughly understood what he meant.

"How many people can you spare now? I want people who can be ready for combat at any time."

"About a hundred or so. In order not to give the state government a handle, I didn't gather too many people, but they are all really good fighters. Although they are not superhumans who can destroy the world, they have enough experience and can handle any complex situation in Gotham City."

Barbara quickly recalled the strength in her hands and secretly regretted that she was too conservative in the past.

"What those people have done is there for all to see. I shouldn't be so lax and should be prepared to be attacked at any time."

"Don't be too hard on yourself. The initiative is in the hands of those people. They are unpredictable and can turn against you at any time. It's normal that you didn't react in time."

Martin comforted Barbara and told her to relax and not put too much pressure on herself.

"Gotham is not worth attacking, because no matter how chaotic it is, it won't be that chaotic. So, Luthor won't attack here. I need you to be prepared and obey my orders at any time."

Martin didn't know Luther, but he didn't have to guess what wonderful ideas were in this genius's head.

Because Lex Luthor is no longer the owner of the Luthor Group, but is able to gain a foothold in Washington with the help of those traitors, and bring a group of people together to launch an attack on the Justice League.

In this group, Luther is only the one with more say, but he does not have absolute say.

Therefore, Martin does not need to think about what kind of personality Luther has. It is enough to analyze the personalities of those congressmen and their subordinates.

Thinking of this, Martin said to Barbara, "I want to talk to Barry. Can I borrow your phone?"

"it is good!"

Barbara didn't try to guess what Martin was going to do. She had already exhausted all her energy just to control the situation in Gotham, and she really didn't have the extra energy to think about other things.

"What did you say?"

Barry was a little surprised when he received Barbara's call; he was a little dizzy when he heard Martin's voice on the phone; and he jumped up when he heard Martin's order.

"I'm asking you to pack up this research center and prepare to move. Any questions?"

Martin's voice was indifferent and completely robotic, making Barry feel as if ants were crawling all over his body.

"Are you kidding? Many of our research projects have reached a critical moment. If we relocate at this time, we will lose too much. Even if you don't care about the economic benefits, what about the families of the staff in the center?"

Barry felt that Martin's order was simply nonsense and hoped that he could withdraw it.

"Have you not watched the news? Washington has labeled us as enemies of the free world. If we don't run now, there will be no chance to run later."

Martin gave a very realistic reason that left Barry speechless.

However, his purpose was not to force all the people in the center to move out, so he said: "I am not asking you to abandon your weapons and flee in a panic. It's just that there are many valuable things in the research center, and you must be prepared for any unexpected events."

This is nonsense. With Martin's personality, how could he keep the core secrets of the alliance in the United States? The things that really cannot be leaked would have been hidden somewhere else by Martian Hunter long ago.

The projects carried out in the research center are of relatively low value or will be gradually revealed to the world.

However, these arrangements were not notified to the members of the research center. Barry was unwilling to get involved in organizational affairs and missed the opportunity to learn about them.

"Hurry up and prepare! This is for everyone's safety. I hope the people in Washington won't go too far."

Martin's soothing words put Barry at ease. Although he felt a little awkward, he finally agreed with the necessity of doing so.

After hanging up the phone, he called several laboratory supervisors over to inform them of the move.

In the Wayne Group Laboratory, some civilian scientists who joined the Justice League received orders from the Wayne Group and the Justice League respectively and had already made preparations for this.

However, the previously independent laboratory staff had deep complaints about this: "We are scientists, not researchers with graduate degrees. If we leave the United States now, what will happen to the projects we have on hand?"

"I must remind you all that the projects you are currently working on are all funded by Star Labs and the Justice League. If you do not accept the order to relocate, please prepare your resignation!"

Although Barry tried his best to fight for these people in front of Martin, after being persuaded by Martin, he still faithfully carried out Martin's orders.

A group of people who were originally protesting suddenly stopped.

These scientists who fight for power in the academic system are much more realistic than those superheroes fighting desperately on the streets.
