Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#772 - Mandarin

The next moment, as Liang Yue's voice fell, a classic seven-color vertical bar screen suddenly appeared, with a pattern of ten interconnected rings in the middle.

Each ring was inscribed with strange characters, and two crossed scimitars were in the center.

Anyone with a little knowledge of international organizations should know that this is the logo of the infamous Ten Rings Gang, representing a far-reaching transnational force.

Nick Fury certainly knew the secrets behind this, so his face immediately became very solemn. The others probably had also heard of this organization.

Especially Stark, who was kidnapped in the Middle East and had a battery embedded in his chest. This was the result of a conspiracy between this transnational criminal organization and his uncle Obadiah.

Therefore, Stark was particularly concerned at this time, with a hint of displeasure in his expression.

After a moment, the static image disappeared, and a pre-recorded execution video appeared.

In the video, a person with a bun, sunglasses, and strange clothes was walking with his hands behind his back in front of a row of kneeling hostages.

This person walked calmly, with no expression on his face, surrounded by cheering crowds.

As the background music played, he slowly left the aisle in the crowd. Several Middle Eastern men holding AKs immediately raised their guns and fired a burst, and a row of hostages were immediately covered in blood, collapsing on the ground in disarray.

Then, the scene changed, and a set of old black and white images appeared on the television, alternating with old American photos.

A magnetic voice began to narrate ~

"America… get ready for another lesson."

"In 1864, in the Sand Creek area of Colorado, the American army took advantage of the Cheyenne warriors going out hunting and massacred the remaining women, children, and elderly, and occupied their land."

"39 hours ago, the American airbase at Ali Al Salem in Kuwait was attacked. I did it."

"In a strange army church, it was filled with women and children. The soldiers were all out on exercises, which means the 'warriors' were not home ~"

"President Ellis, resist my education, and now ~"

… …

At most, they would classify these actions as a terrorist conspiracy, and then offer suggestions to strengthen defenses.

Immediately afterward, the major news media promptly switched the signal to their own White House live feed, with all kinds of long guns and cannons set up, waiting for the President, as well as a group of congressmen and military officials, to give an official response to the matter.

Until now, they still didn't know that their president had been kidnapped ~

"Xiao Wu, have you traced the source of the signal?"

Nick Fury's face was dark at this time, and his posture of propping up the table with both hands had not changed, but his aura had become more fierce, giving people a feeling of urgency and impatience.

The others present, Stark and Captain America, were also the same, eager to immediately attack and eliminate the source of this violent terror.

"Signal source confirmed ~"

As the intelligent brain Xiao Wu's voice fell, the panoramic sand table in front of him suddenly changed with light and shadow, and a building flashing red light appeared on the sand table.

"This set of signal sources was disguised with signal switching and other measures by some top hackers, but for Xiao Wu, this is not worth mentioning at all. In addition, according to the surveillance video in this building,

Xiao Wu also found the figure of Colonel Rhodes, the pilot of the Iron Patriot, inside. He is currently being held prisoner here."

"Well done!"

The black bureau chief curled the corner of his mouth at this time, revealing half a mouthful of white teeth, and then turned his gaze to Steve, Stark, and Liang Yue next to him.

"Now, your mission is to capture that building as quickly as possible, rescue Rhodes, and find more clues about the enemy."

"I won't participate ~"

Hearing the bald egg's words, Captain America suddenly rubbed his fists, and even Stark next to him was the same, but Liang Yue shook his head and refused directly after a brief daze.

"Why? Didn't we agree before?"

Seeing this, Nick Fury frowned and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"From beginning to end, you were just talking to yourself. Just now, following Xiao Wu's clues, I have personally completed an investigation of that building and deduced the whole story of this matter.

First of all, the Mandarin that appeared on TV is fake. The real Mandarin doesn't look like that at all. Some dangerous elements within your America are using his name to divert attention.

To distract you, in fact, this is a conspiracy covered in the guise of a terrorist attack, triggered by internal conflicts within your America. In addition, when I investigated that building,

I also found several mutants with abnormal body temperatures inside. Preliminary judgment, that should be the mutant created by Ms. Hansen's Extremis virus project."

With the coverage range of his divine sense reaching ten thousand miles, as long as he wanted, the entire United States could not escape his divine sense search.

As Liang Yue's voice fell, the panoramic sand table next to him was immediately attached with a thermal imaging filter layer under Xiao Wu's control.

In an instant, all the creatures in that building, whether human or pet, were completely visible in front of him.

The body of an ordinary person is displayed as a mixture of red and blue in the picture, with blue being the majority except for a few key parts, while the mutants of the Extremis virus have their entire bodies as red images.

The red is even a little white, and at the edges of the body, there are even wisps of heat constantly emitting outwards.

This scene immediately made the people in the field narrow their eyes.

"Are you saying that the person who planned this operation is Killian?"

Stark was staring at the picture on the sand table at this time, asking with a bit of anger and surprise in his tone.

"According to my judgment, he may just be a figure pushed to the front stage. There should be a more hidden organization behind him."

Liang Yue has always felt that in the entire Iron Man 3 plot, Killian alone cannot accomplish anything big. His actions should all be following the process of a certain script.

He himself is just a performer pushed to the front stage by some people.

"Why?"

Nick Fury continued to ask from the side at this time.

"They kidnapped the President of the United States for more than just fun. Although there is also an element of showmanship in it, they certainly won't send the President back intact afterward.

Supporting a more obedient puppet to power is the original intention of those people doing this ~"

This intention is actually not complicated. As long as you calm down and analyze some information at hand one by one, you can capture some clues.

"Are you saying that there are collaborators in the high levels of government."

Steve had a complicated and unbelievable expression at this time, but years of experience told him that such a speculation was actually very reasonable and in line with the most basic logic of event development.

"In short, that's my judgment. This matter is very likely to involve the internal power struggle and regime change within the United States. As an outsider, I don't want to participate in such things.

Now helping you brainstorm and providing some necessary logistical support is already the limit."

Liang Yue spread his hands at this time and said to everyone.
