I'm the Demon King in Marvel

"Most of the raw materials for making these things are not rare. They are already in Stark Industries' warehouse. The only thing is that the most critical raw material, 'Pym particles', only has two shuttle runs left."
Tony in this universe didn't bother to emphasize the ownership of the raw materials. He also wanted to get out of the predicament immediately and reconnect with his girlfriend in Hawaii.
It is now the third day after the blockade. The S.H.I.E. and the Jewish Israel have used multiple nuclear bombs one after another. Such a big commotion could not fail to alarm Pepper Potts who is in Hawaii.
After she learned that the U.S. mainland was blocked, she could not help but send Iron Man to check the situation. However, Tony in this universe had Jarvis watching the sky over New York for the past two days, but he failed to find the figure of Iron Man...
This only means that not only the mainland, but also Hawaii has been blocked!
So Tony must do everything he can to break through this membrane.
"Pym particles?" Tony from this universe immediately asked, "Dr. Hank Pym's invention?"
"That's right." Tony from 2023 nodded.
"Where can I find this particle?" Tony from this universe asked anxiously.
But the other self shook his head helplessly and sighed, "I asked Friday to check the airline's travel records. Hank Pym, who was originally in San Francisco, flew to Hawaii with his daughter three months ago. Now..."
"I also went to his house and Hank Industries to look for it, but I couldn't find any extra Pym particles."
"Shit!" Tony in this universe was so angry that he smashed a cup.
The Marvel Universe has a very interesting rule: the copyright rule.
All scientists who appear in comics have exclusive copyrights for their representative inventions. Without authorization, superheroes cannot infringe and copy them even when facing life-and-death crises.
Anyone who copies other people's inventions without authorization is basically a villain.
This is easy to understand. After all, superheroes can violate public security regulations, and anti-heroes can even kill people and then cleanse themselves of their crimes, but they cannot shake the rules that capitalists have set for themselves to protect their rights.
Otherwise, Marvel itself would not have the confidence to crack down on pirated comics.
The most bizarre plot caused by this unwritten rule is that even people with high IQs like Tony Stark or Reed Richards cannot copy other people's inventions without obtaining patent authorization.
In order to be legitimate, Marvel editors had to publicly state that these highly proprietary technological inventions have very high technical barriers and are difficult for others to replicate without obtaining the original data.
This meant that when Tony Stark was making the "time machine", he could only use the stock left by Hank Pym before he was wiped out by Thanos, instead of replicating Pym particles himself.
Otherwise, there would be no plot in "Avengers 4" to travel back to 1970 again, because it is hard to imagine that in a major operation involving half of the life in the universe, there would be no more driving energy prepared.
This also leaves Tony at a loss now.
"Don't we have two more chances to travel through time?" Carol immediately reminded them: "We can first travel to Hawaii and find Hank Pym and ask him to provide more Pym particles, or bring him back to make them separately."
"I thought so too." Tony from 2023 nodded and said, "The final problem now is to find the reason why the 'shuttle' failed. If we don't solve this problem, everything else will be a luxury."
"This..." Carol shook her head, indicating that she was powerless.
"It's a pity that the Cosmic Cube in your universe has been taken over by S.W.O.R.D., otherwise we could try the power of this space gem..." Tony from 2023 said with some regret, but he didn't forget his real mission.
"Don't even think about it. It will definitely fall into the hands of the S.H.I.E." Carol said bitterly.
She had seen the public video that Lin Hao sent to Thanos on the "Star Network" before, and had seen the five stones of different colors.
There is no way they can get the Infinity Stones of this universe, but fortunately, the incident of Thanos slaughtering half of all life will never happen again in this universe.
But why is America the only one suffering?
Carol still hasn't figured it out yet. She has also doubted Lin Hao, who has great strength, but she can't understand why he would waste time messing with America.
With their strength, they can dominate the earth and act tyrannically. If they really have a problem with America, wouldn't it be better to just attack it directly?
Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?
While the "centrists" were trying to find a way to escape from the cage, the real captain of the "civilian faction" took his team members to rob a transport plane and quickly returned to Texas in the south.
After losing contact with the "Hell Base", Captain Zhen lost the backbone members he had trained over the past two or three years and had to return to the starting point of everything, which is also the "red zone" with the best mass base - the "redneck" community in Texas.
When Houston was bombed, the people of Texas "revolted" and were brutally suppressed by the federal authorities. Only a small number of people were taken to the hell base by the real captain, and most of them hid in various places in Texas under different names.
These people were the main force used by the real captain to carry out the "Second Texas Uprising".
Over the past two or three years, Captain Zhen has not severed his ties with these people. The residents who have been absorbed into the Hell Base would return to their homeland from time to time and secretly reunite with their former relatives and friends, and naturally, they would have intersections.
Captain Shin did not conceal the existence of the Hell Base from potential comrades. Even if the intelligence was leaked, the federal authorities would not be able to find the base in Hell.
Can the FBI, which can only give warnings, really go to hell to arrest people?
"Johnny, let's split up and contact the people." Captain Zhen said solemnly: "Now that riots are everywhere and supplies are tight, we must organize a team to restore order as soon as possible."
"it is good."
After receiving the order, Johnny Blaze drove his flaming mount alone across the Texas wilderness, heading to one "criminal settlement" after another.
These survivors who had participated in the "First Texas Uprising" had been labeled as "guilty thugs" by the authorities and could only hide in the wilderness and remote towns.
Now that America is blockaded, people are in turmoil, and the government is weak, it is a good time to rekindle the torch and re-establish the "Lone Star Flag."
They have no choice but to organize themselves, because once the production order is disrupted, they can't even get food.
There is also the plot in Hawaii that man-made disasters are always a by-product of natural disasters, but they take time to ferment.
These two chapters are meant to describe the reactions in other aspects. Otherwise, the timeline of Hawaii will be lengthened and the other parts will feel disconnected. This chapter has laid the foreshadowing for the connection.
Chapter 364: The Second Texas Rebellion
A chaotic situation will bring many conveniences to those who attempt to revolt, such as making it easier to mobilize the people and easier to infiltrate the target city.
Large-scale personnel transfers will not attract the attention of the authorities because their energy has long been exhausted by the endless riots.
At Captain Zhen's command, the "rioters" scattered across Texas gathered in Houston in the south.
Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States, with a population of over two million. Although its population has declined due to a previous turmoil, it is still the most populous city in Texas. Not to mention that it is home to many of the nation's most renowned manufacturing factories, and has strong heavy and light industries.
If you want to start an uprising in Texas, Houston is a place that must be occupied.
Developed countries like the United States are destined to take the "urban-centered route" because their population and industrial base are concentrated in cities. If they hide in remote rural areas to cause trouble, they will at best be a cult, and there is no possibility of forming a regime.
It took several days for the "rioters" scattered across Texas to arrive in Houston one after another, and they successfully sneaked into the city by taking advantage of the ongoing riots in the city.
"Captain, all teams have arrived at the designated locations." Matt Murdock ran over to report to the real captain.
As long as he doesn't wear that eye-catching uniform, Matt is just an ordinary blind man. Passers-by will look down on him when he walks on the street. However, he is agile and has his own "radar", which allows him to easily tell whether he is being followed by authorities, so he is most suitable to be a liaison.
At the beginning of an uprising, the most taboo is leaking secrets. Once the enemy is prepared, the insurgents will face suddenly increased difficulties, and even the plan may fail.
The current chaos in America has provided great help to the insurgents. Matt, an excellent liaison officer, has enabled the detachments in various regions to maintain smooth communication with the "front command", thus maximizing the combat effectiveness of the personnel.
"The uprising is scheduled for 3 a.m. Each team must seize the designated areas as quickly as possible, including the power plant, water plant, and arms company..."
"The Swordsman Squadron must undertake the task of attacking the enemy. We must tear open the enemy's defense line as soon as possible so that the comrades behind us can rush in."
As a veteran from the battlefield, Steve Rogers has rich experience in battle command. For today's battle, they had made sufficient preparations in advance, so there was no need to talk about any strategic thinking.
The real difficulty still depends on the combat situation in each area.
After all, the "rioters" are not regular troops and have not received any formal military training. Although the "rednecks" are tough, they can only fight when the wind is favorable, so the extraordinary people have to take the lead and tear open the defense line first.
There is one bad thing about the frequent chaos, which is that all the combat targets that must be captured are crowded with soldiers, who are already on guard against attacks from rioters.
It can only be said that there are gains and losses.
Fortunately, this is a world with extraordinary powers, otherwise the real captain would have no chance of succeeding in his rebellion relying solely on a group of rabble.
"I will personally lead the attack on the National Guard base..." Captain Zhen chose the most difficult task. He is the strongest, so this task is the best choice for him.
After the tasks were distributed, the insurgents in various areas of Houston tied red towels on their arms and counted the weapons and ammunition of various styles.
As night fell quietly, the residents who had been demonstrating all day dispersed and went home, but the insurgents gradually returned to their respective combat positions.
Fortunately, Captain Zhen had a large number of swordsmen under his command. In the previous battles in New York, Captain Zhen had always fought personally and there were almost no casualties.
This ensured that each rebel team was assigned one or two swordsmen, and Captain Real, Johnny Blaze, and Matt Murdock each led a team to attack the most difficult positions.
It was dark at night, and the leaders of each team stared at the clock intently. When the hour hand pointed to three in the morning, the swordsmen in charge of the attack jumped out of their hiding place silently and invaded the enemy's defense line like ghosts.
Sword lights flashed in the thick darkness, and the sentries on the defense line were quickly removed by the swordsmen. When they cut through the roadblocks with one sword, the large rebel army rushed out and swarmed in.
Morale is the most important factor in a mob battle, so you must never stop or retreat after setbacks, otherwise it will be almost impossible to organize a second charge.
Therefore, the leaders of each team had no time to organize the formation and could only lead the charge fearlessly to maintain the courage of the team members.
Fortunately, the enemy was disturbed and their morale was shaken by the blockade of the American mainland by an unknown force.
These days, the soldiers have been busy storing daily necessities for their families, and they have also had to suppress the riots in the city, which has exhausted them.
Three o'clock in the morning is the most sleepy time.
Coupled with the swordsmen's powerful attack power...
With the help of multiple beneficial conditions, the rebels' attack went smoothly.
While launching attacks in various places, Captain Zhen also launched a charge towards the National Guard camp.
His attack speed is faster.
The magic wings helped him fly over the high walls, and he swung the sword in his hand to easily reap the lives of his enemies.
At this point, Captain Zhen became completely ruthless and didn't care that the other party was also a compatriot. He attacked fiercely and left no room for maneuver.
America must now restore order immediately and organize people to resume production in order to protect the largest civilian base.
Is it possible for the "Elite Eagles" to do this?
The first thing they think of must be to try their best to monopolize the already limited survival resources, and then watch civilians fight and die.
The more people die, the less threat they pose to them, and the greater the chances of them surviving.
If Captain Zhen wants to save more civilians, he can only overthrow the existing order and re-establish a new regime, an advanced regime that can mobilize the masses to resume production.
Some people may wonder why the "elite eagles" represented by the capitalists cannot organize people to resume production?
Because the bait that capitalism uses to drive workers to work is remuneration, which means that they must first pay a certain cost, and then recover the cost through profit and earn the difference.
But in order to make a profit, the goods must be traded.
In such a situation, with people's hearts in turmoil, who is willing to spend money to buy things? After losing their jobs, how many people have money to buy things?
When the order maintained by capitalism collapses, the capitalists will hide first, use force to protect their property, and wait until the civilians have no more room to make trouble and the chaos has settled down before they come out again to set up factories and resume production.
Because the common people are not fools. When unrest occurs, some people will inevitably challenge the capitalists who were once high and mighty.
