I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Once any family has money, it will seek protection from political forces. Then, when the family's strength continues to rise to a certain level, it will get involved in the military and even control its own armed forces.

It's just that other countries have a long history, and after a long period of elimination, the big families that remain have basically extended their tentacles into all walks of life. They not only have huge industries, but also have famous politicians and soldiers in their family history, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

The only exception is the United States, which has a short national history and a period of real rise of less than seventy years. Therefore, the families in the country have not experienced hundreds of years of accumulation and can only focus their energy in one field temporarily.

After all, even if we count from the mid-19th century when large American financial groups began to emerge, the history of American big families is only a mere 150 to 160 years, or just four or five generations.

If you want to cultivate excellent politicians or soldiers, in addition to investment, you also need talent. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it.

After all, outsiders who come through marriage cannot compare to family members who have blood inheritance.

Of course, the major wealthy conglomerates have never given up on infiltrating the political and military fields over the past century, and politicians and military personnel who once held high positions of power have not forgotten to make money for themselves.

There is nothing new under the sun. The operations of these American families are no different from those of their counterparts in countries with a long history, and they are not particularly sophisticated.

Our ancestors were playing with these things two or three thousand years ago.

Such national conditions have created a unique "family ecology" in the United States, where financial conglomerate families, political families, and military families both cooperate with and guard against each other, and all want to develop their own weaknesses in order to break free from each other's constraints.

Coupled with the contradictions between "Anglo-Saxon pirates" and "Jewish consortium", a unique political ecology of the United States has been constructed.

If we make a rough distinction, the "Anglo-Saxon pirates" who arrived in North America first controlled the political and military spheres of the United States, while the "Jewish consortium" who immigrated later controlled the economic sphere of the United States with the power of finance.

In reality, you are in me and I am in you.

Now that Washington has been destroyed, Congress, the White House, and the Pentagon have been destroyed at once. On the surface, the "Anglo-Saxon Pirates" have suffered heavy losses. After all, those who died were all outstanding professionals. But members of Congress, those who understand, know that they are just a bunch of trolls.

Taking this opportunity, the consortiums made a big move into the political and military fields of the United States. However, to operate such a large state machine, professional talents are indispensable, and they could only relax the restrictions on the "Anglo-Saxon pirates."

After all, it would be of no benefit to anyone if the ship sank.

After the Pentagon disappeared, the newly formed "Joint Chiefs of Staff" was responsible for directly leading the United States' huge military machine.

While Chie Aragaki was destroying the Fungus Fleet along the way, it was discovered that one squadron after another suddenly lost contact.

"What the hell is the Pacific Fleet doing?"

When Tokyo, located in the East 9th District, was about to enter the midnight, New York, located in the West 5th District, was still a little after ten in the morning.

Ever since the "One Hundred Demons in Tokyo" incident broke out, the "Provisional Federal Government" outside New York has been paying close attention to developments.

They saw the chaos in Tokyo, the powerful arrival of the SHIELD Bureau, and the scenes of monsters destroying the fungus base.

The resolution passed by the newly formed "Joint Chief of Staff" was to urgently dispatch the garrisons in Kyushu and Ryukyu to the north.

This move is about American hegemony.

They must continue to flex their muscles to the islanders and the world, and not let the world doubt their status as the "world hegemon" because of the outstanding performance of the S.H.I.E.

"Confidence is gold" is not just a proverb in America, but a real cause and effect relationship.

America must continue to project a strong image to the world.

But just when they wanted to show off their muscles, they turned around and found that their muscles were gone!

"Where is the response from the naval base? Where is the fleet? Why did it lose contact?" The generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff roared.

In today's information age, every fleet must maintain contact with the base and directly with the highest military authorities after setting sail.

"Lost contact" has only two meanings: being eliminated or committing treason.

The communications personnel quickly verified and reported: "The naval bases in Kyushu and Ryukyu have replied that the fleet has set sail."

"Where can they go then?" The generals had a bad feeling.

Soon, this ominous premonition became a reality.

"Report, the monitoring satellite discovered multiple huge waves in the southern waters of Honshu Island, and the marked fleet was hit by huge waves!" The communications personnel responsible for sending and receiving military satellite information came to report the abnormal situation.

"Turn to the big screen!"

Following the general's order, the screen began to broadcast images taken by military satellites.

Today's technology is advanced enough to capture clear images of what's happening on land or at sea.

Suddenly, huge waves a hundred meters high surged up in the sea in the picture, and the location was less than two kilometers away from the mold fleet. It was outrageous!

If it happened only once, people might still hesitate, but similar scenes occurred many times along the way south, and even the dumbest person would place his suspicion on the endless stream of extraordinary people.

"It's over. The Pacific Fleet must have encountered an unknown supernatural being!"

"Shit, it's fine if the monsters are against us, but why do even the extraordinary people specifically go against America?"

“That’s not scientific at all!”

Yes, even from the perspective of probability, this is not scientific!

In the past two years, America has been plagued by incidents one after another. Just when they began to suspect that the feng shui of this continent was bad, the extraordinary events that broke out in Osaka and Tokyo made them feel a little relieved.

It seems that it is not just America that will be in trouble.

But they were not happy for a few hours before they found out that the extraordinary events that occurred in the island country would ultimately cause unlucky people like them, America.

What's the point?

It seems like America can't escape no matter what, right?

"Gentlemen, don't worry about whether it is scientific or not, just look at this line first!" The quick-witted staff immediately marked the location of the huge waves on the map and then connected them into a line.

The generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were able to clearly see that the line went all the way south, bypassing Kyushu Island and faintly pointing to the Ryukyu Islands.

"Something's going to happen to Ryukyu!"

Chapter 284 Ryukyu before Dawn

It was already late in the morning, and the noise of Ryukyu Naha Port faded away under the night sky. The sea breeze blew quietly, the waves swayed gently, and everything seemed exceptionally peaceful.

The night market in the port area was filled with the smell of fireworks mixed with the aroma of various foods, and the occasional cheers of joy from the guests. What happened in Tokyo made the entire island nation immersed in grief, but Ryukyu was an exception.

After the Mold Fleet left, Ryukyu seemed to have gotten rid of some of its restraints, and the air became a lot lighter.

Seeing this, Chie Aragaki, who was running all the way south, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she was quite fast and got ahead of the Japanese chaebol.

Chie Aragaki took a look at the peaceful Naha Port, turned around and rushed towards the floating island corresponding to the port, returning to her hometown, Kume Village.

She did not wake up the villagers, but instead rushed around the island, carving out a barrier on her own.

In the ninja world, similar barriers can only be found in large ninja villages. Smaller ninja villages are not only unable to maintain them, but also have no ability to carve them.

As the "perfect jinchūriki", Chie Aragaki has no shortage of chakra and has complete supporting techniques in her memory, so carving a barrier covering Kume Village is no problem for her.

No matter how the situation develops next, Chie Aragaki must first ensure the safety of her fellow villagers. This is probably the local sentiment in the Chinese genes that has been affecting her.

By the time she had finished carving the barrier, it was already past three in the morning, the darkest hour of the night. The night market at Naha Port was drawing to a close, and the drunkards were returning home or heading to entertainment venues where they could stay overnight to continue their next activity.

Suddenly, more than ten passenger ships appeared on the sea, belonging to Sumitomo, Mitsui and Mitsubishi Group. The ships were filled with homeless people who they had swindled and kidnapped from all over the island country in the past few days.

"It seems that the story about building a factory in Ryukyu is correct. I saw passenger ships from the Mitsui and Mitsubishi Groups. With so many ships, they must be carrying a lot of workers and supplies."

On a passenger ship of the Sumitomo Group, a homeless man took the opportunity of going to the toilet to run to the side of the ship and looked around. He found passenger ships of two other groups, so he ran back to the cabin to show off to the homeless people on the same ship.

"Are the three major financial groups joining forces? How big a factory will they build? Why haven't I heard about this in the news before?"

"Baga, this must be a special plan by the bosses of the consortium. It must be kept secret!"

"Who cares? As long as I have a job and can get paid on time, I can go home after working for a year or two."

When talking about going home, there is hope in the eyes of all the homeless people.

The homeless people in the island countries are similar to those in the United States. They are all forced to become homeless after financial bankruptcy. However, American society does not have the family attachment in Eastern culture. Children generally separate from their parents after adulthood, and parents have no obligations to their adult children. As a result, the homeless people in America do not have the obsession with family that the homeless people in the island countries have.

If you have the dignity to go home and have a home to return to, who would want to wander around as a homeless person?

It’s just that because the island nation’s economy has been in a downturn for many years, it has become difficult for low-skilled workers to find jobs and get a stable income.

Apart from begging and scavenging, homeless people can only look for odd jobs when possible. After making money, they go to play pachinko. If they lose, they go back to the bridge hole and continue to hide there. If they win, they eat and drink to their heart's content for a few days, living in a daze.

Now that the three major conglomerates have joined forces to build a factory, it must be on a large scale and the construction period will take at least several years, so they will have stable income for several years.

Suddenly I had hope in life again.

Unfortunately, these homeless people cannot run to other passenger ships, otherwise they would definitely be able to find out why the homeless people on other ships were lured here.

That’s right, the homeless people on so many passenger ships did not board the ships with the same purpose. Some were deceived into working, some were deceived into being volunteers, and the reasons were varied. Anyway, the three major consortiums only wanted these people to board the ships and voluntarily land in Ryukyu.

After all, how could loading and unloading be more convenient than letting the goods get on and off the ship on their own?

The heads of local Ryukyu companies who had been contacted in advance were waiting at the port, and as soon as the passenger ship arrived, they immediately notified the port staff on duty to make arrangements.

Naha Port consists of three parts: Naha Naval Port, Tomari Port, and Naha New Port. The Sumiyoshi and Kakakihana areas on the south bank of the Kuniba River are military ports dedicated to fungi.

The place where the three major conglomerates docked this time was Ansha Port, which was repaired after the island country retook Ryukyu, also known as Naha New Port.

"Master, I can see clearly that several fleets of the Mold have all left the port."

The person in charge of the Iwasaki family's shipping company in Ryukyu is Iwasaki Nagayoshi's confidant. Although their family initially opened a trading company in Osaka, the real symbol of their rise was the shipping industry.

Historically, Naha Port has been an important trading port in the western Pacific Ocean, especially an important transit point in ancient Sino-Japanese trade. The Iwasaki family's shipping company has been operating in Naha Port for more than a hundred years.

After World War II, mold settled in. Although the Japanese had to look at the face of the father, how could an island country survive and develop if it did not engage in ocean trade? Therefore, the Iwasaki family's shipping company still had considerable strength.

After receiving a satellite call from Iwasaki Nagayoshi, the head of the branch went to the high-rise building in the port area in person to observe the movements of the Mold Fleet.

Thanks to the small size of Naha, with a land area of ​​only 38 square kilometers, he was able to see the information he wanted by standing on the top floor of his own shipping company with a telescope.

The Fungus Fleet headed north tonight in a hurry and had no time to cover up, so it was easily seen by those who were interested.

"Very good, without them here, we can be more confident in our actions." Iwasaki Nagashi's eyes were burning.

Sumitomo Masaya and Mitsui Hisaichi who were beside him were also secretly happy.

What happened in Tokyo tonight undoubtedly stimulated these three old guys. If they had not been busy preparing for the sacrificial ceremony in recent days, they might have gone to Tokyo on business. That would have been a big punishment!

Even His Majesty the Emperor and the cabinet ministers have all lost contact, and the wealthy areas of Tokyo have become the hardest hit areas. If they were also in Tokyo, they would probably be finished.

Where is the chance to pursue extraordinary powers?

The three poor old guys had no idea that the nine-tailed fox they were expecting had no intention of responding to them at all, and was currently searching the entire island for brave tools, with no intention of coming back to visit them.

The three old guys were like ordinary old men who were fooled by health product salesmen. With the extravagant hope of immortality, they prepared everything according to the way Shida Kiyomi casually relayed it, just hoping that the great nine-tailed fox could give them strength.
