Marvel's female superheroine travels through multiple worlds

Tony smoothly inherited his father Howard's fortune, and S.H.I.E.L.D. happily handed over the items, which were personally delivered to his home by Natasha.

In order to speed up the research on a new alternative element, Tony cut off all external communication, causing him to miss the tsunami disaster relief efforts, which made him furious!

Damn it! Such a great opportunity to shine was nipped in the bud!

Therefore, in his private capacity, he donated US$300 million and a 10,000-ton cargo ship filled with supplies to the disaster-stricken areas of China most severely affected by the tsunami.

Then take a picture and post it on Stark Industries' official statement.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the biggest embarrassment!

Chapter 78 The Fish Has Taken the Bait

In a secluded meeting room in the senior leadership office area of ​​the Imperial Palace in Beijing, a dozen elderly men dressed in different attire and exuding an air of authority sat around a round table.

The virtual projection computer system in front of them displayed information about the massive tsunami in Japan.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy, and everyone's expression was serious and profound.

"Gentlemen, today's topic is about the correct attitude and development direction for dealing with the aftermath of the disaster in Japan." The elderly man at the head of the group was dressed in casual clothes and was not tall, but he exuded a powerful aura that commanded respect without anger.

He put down the control panel and said calmly, "Here, everyone can speak freely without any taboos."

The elderly man sitting on the left side of the conference table spoke with a resolute expression: "Old Liu, the situation in Japan is very chaotic. I think this is a good opportunity to fight quickly and use chaos to control chaos!"

His tone was full of decisiveness and determination.

"I agree with Comrade Zhang Fajin's suggestion. The Japanese invaders invaded our Celestial Empire and killed our people. They were barbaric and cruel by nature and need to be properly educated!"

An elderly man at the end of the conference table, dressed in military uniform and wearing the national emblem and rank insignia, slammed his hand on the table and said solemnly.

"Past cultural exports and military interventions have not been very effective. Facts have proven that the Japanese have never admitted to the numerous crimes they committed back then!"

"But now that they've lost their so-called Emperor and Prime Minister, such an opportunity will never come again!"

Another elderly man in military uniform echoed this sentiment.

However, the elderly woman with gray hair frowned and said uncertainly, "Starting a war is not advisable and is not the act of a wise person!" There was a hint of worry in her tone.

"Since ancient times, the Celestial Empire has been the ancestor of the Japanese people. Their country name and culture were bestowed by the ancestors of the Chinese nation!"

"Personally, I believe that Japan is an inseparable part of China. We need to reclaim the land that has been lost abroad and the uncivilized and uncultured Japanese people, and assimilate them quickly!"

The middle-aged man in casual clothes clearly had a different suggestion, speaking rather radically.

"The idea is good, but how will the international community view us?"

"What's the difference between this and aggression and kicking someone when they're down? I believe that once the disaster relief mission is completed, the troops should immediately withdraw from Japanese territory."

Another elderly man wearing glasses shook his head and offered a different opinion.

"Now, everyone knows what the West's attitude towards us is. Taking over the defense rights of the American base in Japan under the guise of rescue is a blatant provocation against most Western countries!"

"Are we really ready for a tough battle?" he continued.

"After all, Japan is a country recognized by the United Nations! It has absolute autonomy! Making a hasty decision to take over would be inconsistent with our long-standing policies!"

The old man took a sip of water and said very seriously.

"Tsk, Lao Qin, I really don't like what you're saying. When did we ever say we were going to invade Japan?"

"You mean you're putting the Celestial Empire in the position of the aggressor and then considering the problem? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?" The old man in military uniform said with a half-smile, clearly displeased.

"You old Zhao! Is that what I meant? Isn't this about considering the worst-case scenario? You're just arguing for the sake of arguing!" The bespectacled old man slammed his fist on the table in annoyance.

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing!" the elderly man at the head of the conference table said slowly, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"I agree with the point about the inherent flaws of the Japanese. They are quick to offer small favors but forget about the greater good. Countless historical lessons have taught us that this nation is not trustworthy."

"It is equally unacceptable to take over disaster-stricken areas in Japan and occupy their land through the military in a blatant manner."

“We can compromise. Since the Japanese people have lost their homes due to natural disasters, we will give them a new home.”

The old man paused for a moment before continuing.

"Sir, what do you mean?" The old man sitting on the left side of the conference table suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"Our Celestial Empire is vast and rich in resources, and we welcome ordinary people from Japan to come," the leading elder said with a faint smile, his words carrying a deeper meaning.

"Sir, I suggest that each province and city can designate corresponding areas to establish relief stations and disaster relief camps, and the government can send staff to manage and provide relief."

The elderly man with glasses nodded, his eyes gleaming, and continued speaking.

These words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the attendees.

"The military's ships and rescue teams are ready and can depart at any time."

"As for the American military bases, since they have been destroyed by natural disasters, shouldn't we certainly offer them assistance?"

The elderly man in military uniform added with a smile.

“Old Zhao, I don’t think your arrangement is appropriate. After all, the American military base in Japan is territory. How can it be…” The older woman felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Director Luo, this isn't a military conflict; it's disaster relief!"

"Aren't the Chao Kingdom and the Southern Chao Kingdom also preparing to send troops for rescue operations?"

“We haven’t done anything out of line! In fact, Russia shares the same idea as us. So, we’ll still need Director Luo’s coordination and assistance after we receive the disaster victims.”

The elderly man in military uniform didn't take it to heart and interrupted the other person, saying with a smile.

The older woman was speechless for a long time before finally sighing and offering no further comment.

"You've probably all seen the intelligence that S.H.I.E.L.D. obtained from Supergirl..."

"The Earth needs to end its internal strife as soon as possible, unify its thinking, and unite against external threats. The real threat is extraterrestrial civilizations, not the small piece of land we have right here!"

"Now let's vote on whether to implement a disaster relief and reconstruction strategy against Japan. Who's in favor and who's against?"

The elderly man at the head of the group continued solemnly.

Ultimately, the secret meeting set the tone: due to the severe damage to Japan, the government leadership was almost entirely wiped out by the tsunami.

The nearest celestial empire dispatched a large number of rescue forces and gradually began to control some coastal cities of Japan.

Fourteen helicopter squadrons and two aircraft carrier squadrons transported eight field armies into the Japanese interior via airdrops and naval landings to maintain order.

Rescue teams are transporting victims from the most severely affected areas back to their home countries for treatment and assistance.

Three independent brigades were airdropped into the destroyed U.S. military base in Japan to retrieve personnel who had fallen into the water and take over the base's defense.

The US expressed strong condemnation of this, and had intended to send troops to intervene militarily and retake the base.

However, six mixed combat brigades and naval forces from the Xiong Kingdom secretly deployed to the Bering Strait.

This has made the United States hesitant to act, and it is unable to spare any forces to threaten the Chinese troops stationed at the former US military base.

Thus, Japan was caught in the crossfire between China and the United States, where resources were divided and exploited.

A massive tsunami is causing dramatic changes in the international situation!

At night, in the snow-covered forests of the Aosta Valley region of Italy, a historic building is faintly lit.

Bad Hagburg is a fortified complex built by the Savoy dynasty in the 19th century.

The narrow canyon above the Dora Baltia River in the Aosta Valley has been used for centuries to control the historical route between Italy and France.

From the outside, the castle looks very old and simple, but it has a hidden secret inside.

After entering through the dilapidated gate, the interior space becomes quite spacious, with various high-tech equipment placed around, and researchers in white coats busy at sophisticated computers.

If Lu Yunmeng were here, she would discover that this is the European Hydra base that appeared at the beginning of Avengers 2.

In order to study Loki's lost Mind Scepter and extraterrestrial technology, Hydra, which was lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D., secretly set up a research site here.

Of course, according to the current timeline, this castle still belongs to Hydra, but the technology being researched is more about developing the Cosmic Cube to create advanced energy weapons.

In the center of the laboratory stood a bald man wearing a black trench coat and a single smart glasses.

He was silently watching a long-haired black man with a metal arm, strapped to a seat in the isolation chamber, screaming in agony as he was electrocuted by special equipment.

Footsteps sounded from behind, but the bald man didn't turn around; he merely curled his lips slightly. "Pierce, you've come at the wrong time."

"What's wrong with him?" A middle-aged man in a suit stepped forward and asked curiously, pointing to the man receiving electric shocks in the isolation chamber.

"He triggered fragments of memory during the mission and remembered some things."

"But it's okay, I'll make him forget."

The bald man spoke expressionlessly and with unwavering conviction.

“Strucker, you better get it sorted out. We desperately need manpower right now.”

"Steve Rogers' return caught us completely off guard, and a lot of things had to be done in secret. You know how frustrated I was?"

Alexander Pierce said with a gloomy expression and a forced smile.

"Ha, after all, he is Captain America, the symbol of the American spirit, and Hydra's greatest enemy."

"I really don't know how you guys did your intelligence work, that you actually let some playboy dig that old popsicle out of the ice!"

Baron Strucker glanced at the man beside him and said dismissively.

"Hey, who would have thought this old relic could survive for decades in the freezing cold?" Pierce shook his head and said with a self-deprecating laugh.

“Well, what brings you here this time? I don’t think you’re here for him,” Baron Strucker asked with a slightly indifferent tone.

"Of course not, I need you to calculate Supergirl's ability values ​​immediately."

Pierce glanced thoughtfully at the dark-haired man who was unconscious in the isolation pod, his tone calm but carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Hey, you'd better get some of her DNA samples. You know, our people didn't get any of Supergirl's blood or even hair during the Manhattan incident!"

"What use is it to withstand a Stinger missile head-on without being damaged?"

"Until now, we can only determine Supergirl's strength through calculations!"

"Moreover, the monstrosity that can lift an aircraft carrier weighing 7 tons is a figure that we cannot handle, even if the calculations show it."

Baron Strucker frowned and asked, puzzled.

“No, she’s reached her limit today.” Pierce said meaningfully, a glint in his eyes.
