Martin Variety in American Comics.

Chapter 596 On Earth (Please subscribe and read further, and give monthly tickets/recommendations!)
"Isn't launching three rockets at once too risky?"

Barry, who was in charge of the science department, looked at the superhumans and gorillas working at the launch site and felt worried about tomorrow's launch plan.

"You're overthinking it. The places these rockets are going to are places I've been before. It's only been twenty or thirty years, there's absolutely no problem."

Martin devised a plan to push the front line to the edge of the solar system, and Martian Manhunter, whose footprints had covered the entire solar system, naturally became the person in charge of the project.

The first phase of the launch plan was solely for launching probe satellites to understand the conditions of the Moon, Mars, and Saturn.

The moon is Earth's satellite, and no matter what the Justice League wants to do, it cannot bypass this satellite.

Mars is the home of Mars hunters and the most explored exoplanet by humankind, serving as their first foothold for outward exploration.

Saturn has a vast number of moons, making it an excellent choice for establishing a base or mining resources.

Planets beyond that are too dangerous for humanity at present, and the risks of exploration are too great.

"Although we have no experience in exploring extraterrestrial planets, the Kryptonians are very familiar with these things."

Martian Manhunter reassured the nervous Barry: "Although Krypton's social structure can be described as terrifying, their experience in exploring the universe can help us avoid many detours."

Barry gets a chill down his spine when he hears the name Kryptonians.

Within the Justice League, Krypton isn't viewed favorably; even Superman's nostalgia for Krypton is more akin to a "wanderer longing for home."

This feeling stems more from Superman's longing for his deceased parents than from any particular affection he has for Krypton itself.

Therefore, Superman himself has always been reluctant to reveal Krypton's technology, fearing that the understanding of the universe behind this technology might lead Earth's development astray.

Technology may seem cold and impersonal, as if a whole world exists right there for scientists from various disciplines to explore.

However, this is an illusion. The development of science and engineering theories also relies on human beings' understanding of the world, which contains the understanding of the world and the universe.

If anyone dares to take Krypton's or Apokolips's technology and use it without any modifications, they will soon become the next Krypton or Apokolips.

Darkseid is coming on strong this time, and the Justice League has no other choice but to absorb everything that can help them win the war.

The history of Krypton's exploration of the universe was brought up to safeguard the Alliance's plan to establish a defensive line throughout the solar system.

Of course, nobody is stupid. Everything in Krypton is selected and then compiled into books and distributed.

“Your concerns about Krypton are completely unnecessary. I’m not saying that Krypton’s knowledge is without problems, but Martin and his team will do their best to minimize the danger.”

Barry listened to Martian Manhunter's words and wanted to say that he wasn't worried.

But then he thought of Martin and couldn't help but say, "But Martin isn't on Earth right now. His sudden departure at this crucial moment is really unsettling!"

Martin left Earth today for space and has no intention of returning. All communication will be conducted through the Mother Box and the Alliance.

Martian Manhunter was certainly one of the people in the know, but he wasn't as worried as Barry: "You know his situation. In this crucial matter, things keep changing every day, which isn't good for the Alliance. That's why he decided to find a planet with a slow orbital speed, so that he can continue to command the Alliance."

"Instead of thinking about what Martin should do, you should think about what you should do. Either take charge of the deep space exploration program, or use the Speed ​​Force to help accelerate various projects."

"All your worries will disappear when you're working."

After talking with Martian Manhunter, Barry realized he had been being too whiny. He shook his head to clear his mind of all those messy thoughts, then dashed off to the construction site.

Amidst flashes of lightning, the launch site rapidly took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

As the Justice League embarked on a frenzied project, preparing to charge into the solar system, they also welcomed two groups of guests.

"Isn't Martin here?"

Fang Zhifu, also known as the Iron-Faced General, stayed at the Justice League headquarters, watching the situation escalate step by step, but was not invited to the Justice League's closed-door meeting.

However, after the Justice League announced the news about Apokolips, he received numerous messages from China, all of which urged him to quickly figure out what the Justice League was trying to do.

So, he used the pretext of meeting with Martin to request a meeting with the Justice League, actually wanting to find out what these guys were up to.

But Martin had already left Earth, so Diana took over the meeting with the Iron-Faced General.

"Martin has left Earth."

Diana was dressed in a black suit and looked very serious, even more imposing than so-called men.

How to deal with their allies was something the Justice League had already discussed in a closed-door meeting.

Diana did not hide anything about the forces represented by General Ironface, stating directly: "Martin went to space partly to maintain the stability of his identity and continue to guide the Alliance's work. On the other hand, he wanted to cooperate with the Green Lantern Corps to gain the support of outer space forces and resist the invasion of Apokolips."

The iron-faced general frowned, not expecting such an answer.

Green Lantern is not unfamiliar to Dongda University, after all, there was once a Green Lantern in the East, although he did not do anything good.

"Martin went to seek the support of the Legion of Struggle, so you're planning to abandon the alliance with Earth's forces."

The situation had deteriorated to such an extent that even the Iron-Faced General couldn't care less about etiquette.

Since Diana made her stance clear, he also asked her a question directly.

Diana shook her head slightly, her face serious. "It would be great if we could unite Earth, but the situation is pressing. Apokolips won't allow us to do that. Putting aside the greater good of protecting Earth, even if it's just to prolong the existence of the Justice League, we can't waste any more time on Earth."

After saying that, Diana pushed the Justice League's plan for setting up a space defense line in front of General Ironface.

Without hesitation, the iron-faced general opened the plan and began to review it line by line, his brows furrowing more and more as he read.

"If the Justice League didn't have Martin, I would think you guys were crazy to come up with such a plan."

Diana wasn't offended by the Iron-Faced General's bluntness: "Do you really have so little faith in us? Are we all incapable of doing anything without Martin?" The Iron-Faced General put down the plan and said, "Each of you is capable, but when you come together, you can't reach a consensus. Only when faced with a crisis do you try to find ways to solve it. Even then, your cooperation is limited to tactics."

Bruce is the most likely person for you to become a pillar of the Justice League, but he's such an oddball that his pursuit of personal principles always outweighs his dedication to the group.

He could sacrifice his life without hesitation for his own plans, but he could not change his personal principles for the development of the group.

This liberal characteristic was fully reflected in the original timeline, with each member of the Justice League constrained by it, guarding their own city and dividing up territory like a small lord.

They are content with trivial matters like cracking down on criminals, which may seem very humanitarian, but it is nothing more than protecting their own interests and lacks a grasp of the overall history.

Therefore, the Justice League in the original timeline was repeatedly in a passive position, passively dealing with one crisis after another, and the reasons for each fall were the same.

Iron-Faced General is a soldier from Dongda University and also a member of Bubu.

In his eyes, the things that Superman and others did under the guise of superheroes were merely in line with the morality of the urban class.

It wasn't until Martin's emergence that the Justice League in America began to transform into a real organization and tried to take on a historic mission, rather than indulging in childish games of good and bad among the civic class and getting bogged down in details.

"You're really not being polite."

Diana was not angry when she learned of General Ironface's evaluation of the Justice League members; instead, she thought what he said made sense.

Diana herself didn't say anything.

Although she has lived for thousands of years, she doesn't know much about history.

Before World War II, his only goal was to hunt down Ares. After the war, he entered a reclusive state, basically indifferent to everything.

Not to mention others, including Superman. I'm not stupid, but I don't have much wisdom.

Their understanding of society is limited to their own small circle, and their knowledge of history and society is so-so that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's zero.

Among all the superheroes, Bruce is undoubtedly the most outstanding.

When he was Bruce Wayne, he was able to handle the affairs of the entire Wayne Enterprises with ease, utilizing the resources of the Wayne Enterprises to adjust the social situation according to his own ideals.

But once he put on the Batman suit, his skill level plummeted. No matter how many villains he fought, it was all one-on-one, individual versus individual.

It seems that everything else is just background in this game of good versus evil. All the joys and sorrows seem very touching, but in reality, they are just elements that can be changed at any time.

That's why Bruce was so cold and desperate when he became Batman.

Because if the stage isn't dismantled, someone will always jump up and become the villain in the play, continuing the drama.

Bruce, however, is limited by his own experiences and finds it difficult to overcome this trauma. He is stubbornly determined to complete the game, always confined to his personal perspective.

"In any case, this is Martin's decision. Hopefully, you can discuss this plan with someone as soon as possible and give us a reply."

Diana no longer cares about General Ironface's assessment, because Martin has already helped the Justice League superheroes overcome that traumatic experience.

The scars remain, but the pain has vanished; the memories of the past are still vivid, but they bring only experience, not torment.

"What do you want?"

General Ironface did not oppose the plan proposed by the Justice League; they clearly had sufficient technology and resources to support their outrageous idea.

But as an ally, he also had to consider what the Justice League wanted from him.

"What we need most right now are people, especially educated modern people, to fill the gaps in the plan."

Since they were going to cooperate, Diana didn't hide anything and directly stated her true purpose.

"No matter how much technology or resources you have, you still need people to implement it. The road to space is not easy. Even if the Justice League sends all its people, it won't be enough to set up such a defense line."

"I understand."

The Iron-Faced General stood up, took the Justice League's plan, and quickly left, returning directly to East University via the Justice League's teleportation system.

Meanwhile, the people sent by the US were also communicating with Bruce.

The U.S. representative this time was none other than Batman's uncle, Jacob Kane, and Steve Trevor, who was still serving as the commander of the two carrier strike groups.

In contrast to the smooth conversation between Diana and General Tieman, Bruce's attitude towards his uncle and Steve could be described as cold.

Upon meeting, he bluntly stated, "Gentlemen, I need an explanation."

"Bruce, what do you mean by this?"

Jacob's smile vanished instantly, realizing that this meeting would not yield the positive results that those people in the White House had predicted.

Bruce said coldly, "Savage is a traitor who colluded with Apokolips. For years, he has been kidnapping children with superhuman genes and sending them to Apokolips. We sent troops to eliminate such a traitor, and not only did the US not support us, but they also rallied a so-called coalition to stop us."

"Doesn't the US need to give us an explanation? Have you already reached a cooperation agreement with Apokolips? If so, then we have even less to say."

After the Americans pulled this stunt, even though the core members of the Justice League are all Americans, few are willing to have anything to do with the United States anymore.

The threat of Darkseid is imminent. No one, not even someone from the same country or family, is as reliable as a comrade.

Steve was completely baffled, but could only offer a dry explanation: "We don't even know what Apokolips is, so how could we possibly reach some kind of cooperation with them?"

"As for the cooperation with Savage, it was purely a matter of certain individuals acting on their own initiative, and it has nothing to do with us."

Bruce shook his head as he listened to Steve's explanation, too lazy to argue with them any further.
"I know Washington better than you do. I know what kind of people those are. Do you think you can fool us with a reason that doesn't even have any basis?"

"Just tell me, what brings you here?"
