Chapter 521: Dollars and Arms (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)
"We're here, right here! Stop!"

Martin was held in Kong Kenan's hand and flew close to the forest. It only took a few minutes for them to see the settlement hidden in the mountains.

"We are still at least ten kilometers away from our target. Wouldn't it be too cautious to stop here?"

Kong Kenan stopped and hung in mid-air, not understanding why Martin was so careful.

"Will this distance have any effect on your observation?"

Martin's question made Kong Kenan shake his head repeatedly.

"Let alone ten kilometers, even if it's a hundred kilometers, my eyesight will be affected. I'm worried that you can't see clearly, Old Ma."

"If I couldn't see clearly, I wouldn't let you stop here!"

Martin waved his hand downwards, signalling Kong Kenan to let him go, and said to him: "Since the kidnappers dared to attack Bruce, they must have prepared a plan to deal with the Justice League. Your ability is almost the same as Superman's. If you rush over rashly, you will probably fall into their trap."

Although Kong Kenan does not have a weakness like kryptonite, his experience is simply too insufficient.

"You fly up to the sky to conduct reconnaissance. The standard is ten kilometers. You can only go farther than this distance, but not get closer."

Kong Kenan nodded confidently and said to Martin, "Don't worry, Lao Ma! I am familiar with this job. I will observe the location, number, and pattern of the kidnappers' actions as well as Bruce's situation."

"In addition, you also need to pay attention to the overall situation of the settlement and the level of armament of the people living in it."

"By the way, can you understand Southeast Asian dialects?"

Martin suddenly added a request, and Kong Kenan shook his head in confusion.

"I can speak several major languages, such as English, French, German, and Russian. I never thought I would encounter the dialects of Southeast Asia, so I didn't learn them."

"But what does this have to do with our mission? Let's just rush in and rescue the people. The only enemies we have to face should be the kidnappers!"

This time, Martin did not say that Kong Kenan was lacking in knowledge, but explained directly: "After the end of World War II, in order to curb the expansion of the Red forces, the United States used Southeast Asia as a bridgehead and first supported France to control the Indochina region."

"France was unable to maintain its colonies, so the United States turned to supporting the royal families of Southeast Asian countries. The feudal kings were unable to control the domestic situation, so the United States turned to the ambitious people in the military."

"When these ambitious people are unable to resist the various liberation forces, or the army begins to get tired of fighting, the US will either intervene directly or support the smaller mountain ethnic groups to form guerrilla forces."

"The most typical mountain ethnic guerrilla is Vang Pao of Laos. He and his Hmong guerrillas did not evacuate to the United States as refugees until 2004. Vang Pao himself has been engaged in separatist activities in Southeast Asia since the s with the support of the United States, and at one point he even extended his hand to the University of the East."

"I go!"

Kong Kenan listened to the events of the last century and felt that they were as far away as those of thousands of years ago. He pointed to the settlement in the distance and said, "You mean, this settlement is also a base built by the Americans."

"In fact, the Americans now prefer financial colonization, but being in Southeast Asia adjacent to the University of Tokyo is always special. Those people in the CIA are likely to do anything, so I asked you to observe carefully."

Martin explained why he was so cautious, and was sure that this incident was most likely the work of a bastard inside the United States in collusion with Savage.

"If this base is really a guerrilla group maintained by the CIA, then don't we have to deal with the entire base?"

Kong Kenan was scolded by Martin several times, and the thinking mode in his mind finally entered combat mode.

"This is not something you should consider right now. Go scouting! Remember, don't be discovered!"

Martin waved his hand, and Kong Kenan took the order and flew into the sky. He soon rose to a height of several hundred meters and circled around the mountain settlement.

After Kong Kenan left, Martin sat cross-legged on the tree, as if his body was weightless and swaying with the tree.

He directly transformed the Mother Box in his hand into the size of a tablet, then entered his personal password and began to call the Justice League's satellite to observe the mountain area.

"If you want to know the situation in this settlement, I can report to you directly."

Martin frowned as he heard the Martian Hunter's voice. "I've already given you an order to have a good rest. Leave these matters to Diana. Why did you contact me again?"

"The matter has not been resolved. When I think of Bruce and the people who kidnapped him, I feel so anxious that I can't rest."

Martian Manhunter requested, "Just let me help you complete this task, and then I promise to stay in bed and never do any work again."

Martin was helpless about what he said: "I know it's impossible for you not to work. But I didn't expect that you couldn't hold back in less than ten minutes."

"Let's get started right away!"

Martian Manhunter couldn't wait to get to work, and through the Mother Box he maintained his consciousness, and asked, "What's the situation in that hiding place?"

"I suspect that there are guerrillas set up by the CIA. I asked Kong Kenan to go and scout. We will have results soon."

Martin suddenly remembered Martian Manhunter's past experience: "Didn't you serve as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff before? The CIA's intelligence library is not completely secret to you, right?"

"You're overthinking it. Organizations like the CIA are not so strict in their overseas locations. For various reasons, many special agents come up with many plans, but they are soon forgotten. Some are to clear accounts, and some are because they really don't remember."

Martian Manhunter complained harshly to Martin about the CIA's practices.

"To put it bluntly, before the war breaks out, these third world organizations are all tools to be selected. There are too many of them, and the special agents won't pay too much attention to them. They will just forget about them. There are too many people who want to be dogs for the United States, and there is no shortage of a few."

Martin shook his head helplessly. These special agents were actually all at the supervisor level. In order to keep the secret operation underground, they added the word "special" in front of the word "agent".

Although such agents have to look at other people's faces in the United States, in third world countries, they are no different from the emperor, and there are people who will support them wherever they go.

"Once little Kong Kenan has finished his investigation, you will control the brain of the leader of this place and find out the nature of this place."

Martin has already figured out how to deal with this place: "Don't Savage and his gang want to use Bruce's identity to cause trouble? I will help them and expose all these things."

"This is a good opportunity to expose the deal between the Americans and Savage and cut off all ties between the Justice League and the United States."

"You are the boss. I will listen to you on this important matter."

Martian Manhunter doesn't feel much about Martin's decision. He is still friends with some people in the United States, but that doesn't mean he has any feelings for the United States as a collective.

"It's just a pity for those young people. They may have to face a cruel choice and have to part ways with their old friends and even relatives."

"This is a necessary step, and we can't take it for them."

Although Martin had this plan, this matter could not be resolved in a few words, so he focused on the situation at hand. "I have already figured out the situation of this place!"

Kong Kenan flew in the sky for half an hour before coming down and began to describe in detail what he had observed.

"Although there are many elderly, weak, women and children living here, it has been completely fortified. It is surrounded by thick concrete walls and the foundation is ten meters underground. The walls are covered with barbed wire with sharp blades hanging on the nets. There are dense minefields in the forest outside the wall, all hidden under the bushes and difficult to find. Inside the wall, there is a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. The taller men all hold guns in their hands, and every household stores ammunition."

"Bruce is hidden in an inconspicuous house in the southwest corner of the base. There are three people guarding him, all of them are superhuman. One of them should be of the physical type. I used my X-ray vision to see that his body structure is different from that of ordinary people. The abilities of the other two are unknown for the time being."

Martin nodded, asked Kong Kenan to find out the situation, used the mother box to make a holographic map, and asked:
"Where is the leader of this base?"

"it's here!"

Kong Kenan pointed to the center of the camp and said, "There are about 10,000 people in this base. The leader has a guard of 100 people, and their weapons are far superior to those of others."

Without Martin's further orders, the Martian Hunter had already begun searching for the secrets in this man's brain.

"This is indeed a guerrilla unit developed by the CIA, but the people in charge of this point have not been paid for five years. They suddenly received a sum of cash a month ago and started serving the CIA again."

Martin nodded and said to the Martian Hunter, "Write down the details of this secret base and throw it at the Americans when we have a quarrel later."

Although the whole world knows that the CIA often engages in subversive activities in third world countries, the United States itself has never acknowledged any of them.

When the CIA's overseas bases plan these activities, they have also prepared a cleanup plan to eliminate all direct evidence that can be linked to them once the mission is completed or fails.

The Martian Hunter got busy. Martin put away the Mother Box and said to Kong Kenan, "Let's go directly to the gate of the base and knock on the door and order them to surrender."

"what?"

Kong Kenan opened his mouth wide and wanted to reach out and touch Martin's forehead to see if he had a fever, otherwise why would he have such an idea.

"Well, someone like me can't just think about the present. I want to make this matter bigger, and it will involve an action of the Justice League against the United States, but this is not something you should know."

Martin couldn't tell Kong Kenan what he was going to do next. As a little kid, he shouldn't know such things.

"All right!"

Kong Kenan then remembered that Martin was not a policeman, but an important member of the Justice League.

But he didn't feel anything, so he finally obeyed Martin's orders and prepared to be a thug honestly.

"Let's go, let's get started!"

"Ron, inform Bruce that we are about to take action and ask him to cooperate with us."

Martin walked on the treetops as if it were flat ground, with Kongkenan flying beside him.

The two quickly crossed the minefield on the ground without triggering any effects, and found the cameras hidden in the tree canopy and hid there as well.

"Who are you? Tell me your identities?"

The guards on the watchtower saw Martin and Kong Kenan who did not hide themselves and shouted a warning.

Kong Kenan couldn't understand the local dialects of these small places in Southeast Asia, but Martin understood them but didn't care.

Sonorous!

The Xueyin Sword was unsheathed, and the sword light covered the sky, as if mercury was leaking out, emitting a chilly air that froze the moisture in the primeval forest and turned it into a large amount of ice chips, which smashed out with a crackling sound.

A shocking glance!
The more than ten-meter-long ice blade directly smashed the gate of the base into pieces, and at the same time detonated the bomb at the door.

With a loud bang, roaring flames rushed into the sky, and the shock wave pushed the heat to swallow everything around the gate, including the sentry on the watchtower, who was instantly turned into pieces of charcoal.

But Martin jumped into the air, rushed out a little further in mid-air without any support, and slowly landed on a watchtower.

The soldiers in the watchtower poked their heads out, shouted in dialect, and fired bullets at Martin with their rifles.

Martin turned his wrist, and the Snow Drinking Sword opened like a folding fan, freezing all the flying bullets in mid-air. Then he turned the magic sword and chopped off the soldier's head.

"Can this be considered knocking?"

Kong Kenan was stunned when he saw Martin perform this operation smoothly.

When Martin said he was going to knock on the door, he really thought he would just shout a few times, but he didn't expect Martin to come up and kill people.

"Young man, have you ever thought about how they maintain this level of armament when there are only a few roads around this settlement?"

Martin looked at the base that was in motion, not caring at all, and allowed the soldiers inside to assemble.

"If you want to maintain an army of this level, you have to do some cruel and inhumane illegal business to have enough money."

"So, it's not that I can't speak politely, but these people's heads just can't understand such words."

Kong Kenan turned his head and saw that the entire settlement was in action. Every man was rushing towards the gate with guns in hand like a beast in the primitive jungle.

He had no doubt that if he didn't have super powers, these mountain people would eat him alive.

"Those CIA bastards even took advantage of these mountain people and used them as cannon fodder. Can they still be considered human beings?"

Kong Kenan had received a complete education after all. Although he was not very clear about some historical events, he knew that these people were more pitiful than hateful.

The environment of the original jungle is like this. If these mountain people accept relatively mild modern transformation, their living conditions will be completely different.

But the Americans wielded dollars and weapons, making these mountain people even more feudal and barbaric.

"They deserve our pity, but if you are lenient towards them, they will still kill you!"

Martin looked at the leader of the mountain people who was walking towards him surrounded by the guards, and asked Kong Kenan to cheer up.
