American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman - Chapter 658
On the beach of Santa Monica in Los Angeles, under a sun umbrella, Schiller picked up a coconut, took a sip of coconut juice, then shook his head and said, “This coconut is not even as good as the one on the island…”
“These are fast-growing commercial coconut trees, not even native to Los Angeles, so of course they don’t taste good.” Hal also said while lying on a reclining chair with a coconut in his arms.
Lying on the beach, blowing the sea breeze and watching the waves, is really relaxing, but after a while, Schiller stood up and said, “An old friend invited me to dinner, do you want to go?”
“No, I’m going to wait for the evening beach party. Los Angeles is famous for beach parties, don’t you want to wait?”
“I’m not interested in loud pop music.” With that, Schiller stood up, turned to leave, drank the coconut, threw it in the trash, and drove to a Santa Monica home. Family style seafood restaurant.
After he entered the restaurant, he reported his reservation number, and the waiter greeted him warmly to his seat. After he waited there for a while, another figure came in.
Clark took off the schoolbag he was carrying, sat on the opposite seat and said, “Professor, I’m sorry, I’m a little late.”
“It’s nothing, let’s order.” After Schiller finished speaking, he waved to the waiter. After asking for the menu, the two ordered a lot of Los Angeles-style seafood dishes.
“I’m sorry, Professor, I shouldn’t be here to interrupt your vacation, but I’m a little bit troubled… Well, it’s okay if you don’t want to listen, just think I’m here for a trip.” Clark looked at the house The restaurant, with a West Coast decor he had never seen before.
When the dishes were served, he was attracted by the strong aroma. Clark took a breath and saw Schiller pick up the knife and fork, and then he picked up the cutlery and started to prepare the meal.
“I was a little surprised that you would come to me. After all, this should be the preparation period for the track and field team, right? Don’t you need to train?” Schiller peeled off the shrimp on the plate with a fork, and asked while eating .
“I was training, but suddenly a group of strange people came to me. They said they hoped I would solve a crisis and save America.” Clark sighed and said with a sad face: “I thought they They were liars, so they were very angry and kicked them out, who knew they were really the CIA.”
“I’m a little sorry for hurting them for the first time, so they invited me to dine, and I agreed. They ordered a high-end restaurant, which left me a little overwhelmed. It was the saddest thing I’ve ever eaten. It’s a meal…” Clark’s eyes were full of tangle, and he wrote almost all his emotions on his face.
I have to admit that Schiller really likes such a patient. He doesn’t need to say anything at all, not even to ask. Clark will explain everything clearly, even his own mental journey. clearly and clearly.
“During the meal, they mentioned the massacre that happened in the Mexican village…” Clark’s eyes became more angry when he mentioned it, he said: “I read the previous report and saw When it came to those pictures, I was really pissed, I don’t understand how someone could be so cruel.”…
“At the same time, I am also very sympathetic to the villagers who were slaughtered and wanted to help them. The CIA approached me and told me that they had found the murderer of this massacre, but because they were very cunning, the CIA could not deal with them. …” Clark’s expression began to become a little tangled again, as if he thought what the CIA said was absurd.
“They said that only I could deal with the evil executioners, and they wanted me to go to Mexico to save the villagers who might be slaughtered, but also to save the whole of Mexico and the United States…”
Clark took a deep sigh and said, “Batcat told me that they were all bullshit. He said that these CIA agents were completely clueless and couldn’t even make up nonsense, but…”
Clark was a little dejected, and kept repeating the action of cutting food, he said, “Well, I know, I’m not as smart as Batcat, and when they tell me about it, I still care more about those innocent villagers. ”
“I know they’re trying to use my power, maybe even for some nefarious purpose, and I know the most sensible thing to do is to ignore them completely, but I’m just a bit…I think if I don’t, I’ll It seems too indifferent.” Clark has no appetite at all, he put down the cutlery, staring at the seafood feast on the table with no appetite, obviously a few minutes ago, he was very hungry.
Schiller observed Clark. He felt that Clark’s moral bottom line was a bit too high, and it could not be said that it was the result of family education. It must have something to do with him.
He wants to help everyone he can help. If he doesn’t help, he will feel that it is his fault, but even a superman has only 24 hours a day. He is not omniscient and omnipotent, so there will always be places where he can’t help.
The people he didn’t help might not know that Superman exists, so they wouldn’t resent Clark, but Clark would always fantasize for no reason. Such negligence and omission, and suffered a greater tragedy.
The core of this kind of thinking is actually an evolution of persecutory paranoia, that is, for things that have not happened that may cause anxiety, they overestimate their consequences, and then put the illusory consequences and possible harm in advance. Add to yourself.
The mental strength of human beings is destined to be impossible to bear the anxiety of the present and the future at the same time. Clark is now in this state, even if he knows that the CIA is not at all uneasy, but once he thinks that if he does not go, there will be more. When the villagers are massacred, he will feel great pain.
“So, do you want to go?” Schiller asked.
“My sanity is telling me that things may not be what they say they are. They told me to go. They were completely uneasy and well-meaning. They wanted to take advantage of me, so I shouldn’t go.” Clark frowned in pain. His expression, his rational and emotional emotions were tangled in a mess inside, making it impossible for him to judge what kind of action to take.
“There are too many uncertain states in your mind, you are not sure if what they say is true, you are not sure about the state of the villagers, you are not sure what is going on on that continent, you are not sure about yourself What will you see when you go…” Schiller tapped the plate lightly with a fork to attract Clark’s attention, then pointed to a plate of grilled fish in front of him and said:…
“How do you like this dish?”
“I think… um, it’s ok, the fish should be quite fresh, but I don’t like this method very much, there is a bit too much pepper.” Clark replied absentmindedly, he didn’t know why Schiller asked such a question.
“You saw this dish being served, you saw its color, smelled its fragrance, tasted it, and based on these facts, you made a positive judgment, in the process, Are you feeling tangled?”
Clark thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “No, it’s nothing difficult, it’s just a dish.”
“What you’re doing now is like, you haven’t seen the dish, you haven’t smelled it, you haven’t tasted it, you don’t do anything, you just sit there out of thin air, giving yourself Pain without a judgment.” Schiller put a piece of grilled fish in front of his face, and said:
“But the truth is, if you haven’t tasted it, you can’t judge, and God is the same. No one can judge something that they have never seen, heard, or tried, can they?” to Clark.
“So, should I see, listen, and try? But even if I have these facts, must I be right?” Clark asked.
“That’s another problem. These facts will give people confidence and make them feel confident in their judgment. If you still feel unconfident after collecting all the facts, maybe there is something wrong with your mentality. You What do you think?”
Clark thought for a second, then held out his hand and said, “If an average person makes a bad judgment, the best he can do is screw up a job, or make a mess, and at worst go to jail.”
“But if I make a mistake in my judgment, I may kill a lot of people, even destroy a country, maybe… maybe even destroy the earth, I don’t know, I can’t imagine it at all…” Clark pursed his lips, his expression was always a little bit Worry, has hovered back to the edge of anxiety.
“It seems that you have deeply realized the power gap between you and ordinary people. You feel that you are an alien and want to integrate into human society by helping others, but you are afraid of the bad consequences that may occur after mistakes, so you don’t feel at all. Dare to judge…”
Schiller said as if talking to himself, Clark’s problem is still quite troublesome, a lion living in the ant colony, because of the different physical existence state, it is difficult to solve all similar problems through simple psychotherapy.
“The only suggestion I can give you is that, whether you can make an accurate judgment after collecting the facts, it is better to collect the facts first. Seeing is believing. Maybe after you have read it, you will have a difference. I have an idea.” After Schiller finished speaking, he put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth.
Clark sat in the same position and took a deep breath. He is very good at listening to other people’s advice. Since Schiller said so, he decided to go to Mexico first. Anyway, for him, it was nothing more than flying. A little while.
It is not that the Mexican government and the CIA have not thought about using air power to search for the group of people who are very troublesome to them. …
However, the person in the lead did not know who was instructing him. The underground work he carried out was the real underground work, that is, underground in Mexico.
As mentioned before, Gallardo, the boss of the drug trafficking organization in Guadalajara, once annoyed Congress and the CIA because of a case involving the murder of an agent, and the entire organization was greatly suppressed. Today, the entire Guadalajara The Lahala organization, in fact, is at the end of its streak, and will soon fall apart.
At this time, another famous drug lord is emerging, that is “Dwarf” Guzman, the name of this drug lord is much bigger than Gallardo, but he is indeed the former Guarda A splintered member of the Lahala organization.
With Guadalajara running out of steam and a new organization emerging, Guzmán is able to dominate not only because of his intelligence and tact, but also because of his clarity of thought.
The way he sells drugs is different from others. He does not go by water, but by land.
Many people know that although drug trafficking at sea is very profitable, it is also very risky. Once blocked, the entire cargo of the ship will capsize in an instant.
The drugs produced in Mexico are not so tightly packaged. Once thrown into the sea, there is no chance of salvage.
During the anti-drug war, the CIA and the U.S. Navy caught on to this. As long as they caught the drug dealer’s boat, it didn’t matter if they were killed or not, and the goods would definitely be dumped into the sea.
After a few times like this, no matter how big the family can stand, Guadalajara will collapse, and there are reasons why it can’t support it economically.
As for Guzman, he directly gave up shipping by sea and switched to using land transportation. However, the customs on land are not vegetarian, and the human body drug transportation efficiency is low, which is not suitable for bulk cargo transportation. Buying customs to audit requires a lot of money. Not worth it either.
The new method Guzman found was to dig tunnels.
Of course, in the far eastern countries, this is no longer a new trend, but in the South American continent, the use of underground passages for drug trafficking is quite new.
Guzman dug an underground passage in Santiago and transported a large number of drugs to the United States. This has been verified, and after his arrest, he escaped in the same way, that is, a tunnel dug by his drug trafficking team. , go straight to the prison, and rescue him.
This veritable gopher once gave the U.S. government a lot of headaches. The authentic method is that the initial investment is large and the return is slow, but once it is built, it is very difficult to deal with.
Of course, it was the first half of 1989, and Guzmán the Short had not started to work, and the tunnels of Santiago had not yet been dug, but in every country where agriculture is the main industry, cellars are indispensable storage. Equipment, the labor wisdom of farmers should not be underestimated, and the original tunnel warfare was developed from this.
In fact, Oliver did not expect that the games he developed would be so smooth. At the beginning, he was ignorant, but with a sense of guilt, he wanted to compensate the farmers who were hurt by the Quinn Group’s drug-trafficking business. .
baimeng.
At the beginning, his Spanish was very unskilled, and he could only communicate in English and sign language. Fortunately, Oliver was also very smart, and he learned the language very quickly. He only learned the most important words more proficiently, and then conveyed To the farmers he knew. …
But what I didn’t expect was that the farmers in Sinaloa were furious. When Oliver said the phrase “violence is the only means” for the first time, it was as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out. They all started cursing in Spanish and decided to join the movement.
Later, Oliver learned that this is also related to the recent policies of the Mexican government and the local situation.
Before that, the Mexican government had capital controls, that is, foreign capital could not enter Mexico at will, but in 1989, which is this year, the Mexican government lifted capital controls, and a large amount of foreign capital poured into the country, including many short-term speculations invest.
Anyone with a little knowledge of economics should know that foreign capital will cover the current account deficit and will also increase the value of the country’s currency, but once the value of the currency increases, the competitiveness of Mexico’s exports will be weakened.
With foreign capital, the Mexican government has underestimated the risks brought by the current account deficit, so it will lead to a larger deficit, which will require more foreign capital, and the competitiveness of export commodities will become weaker.
Once the current account deficit reaches a certain percentage of GDP, it will induce a very dire collapse, and history has proved this, in 1994, the Mexican economic crisis swept the world.
When capital controls were just released, the local pillar industry agriculture was the first to be hit. When foreign capital entered the country, in addition to investing in existing industries, the first demand was land, and farmers were land-based.
Not to mention, the Mexican government simply does not have the level to supervise all foreign investment. The first farmer Oliver knew, his land was sold, but he was completely unaware of it, and the factory he built was an empty shell, not at all It opened and didn’t provide any jobs, so he and his wife lost their jobs.
He went to other places to make a living. The same is true. There are displaced farmers everywhere, and those with formal jobs face a similar situation. Local enterprises are squeezed and lose their living space, but foreign-funded enterprises do not. provide them with better jobs.
Oliver found that these people hadn’t read the theory, but they all learned a truth from their own experiences, that is, in the face of this situation, only violence is the only means.
The theory and extraordinary wisdom brought by Oliver made up the last shortcoming for them. Therefore, the peasant and labor movement in Mexico started vigorously.
However, at this time Oliver is not yet the Green Arrow. He has only been with him on the deserted island for a few months, not a few years. His martial arts have not been honed very well. Advantages, can temporarily achieve tactical victory, but soon, the situation becomes difficult.
The U.S. government, the Mexican government, and even the drug dealers all united to suppress them. The lack of force was the most important problem. Oliver had already ripped through those books, but the theories he had read told him that there was no future for me to copy them. Yes, he had to find a way out on his own.
But at this moment, Clark, who wanted to collect the facts, came here. …
Again, Clark is not stupid at all, he is very smart, smarter than everyone in this world.
He only needs to carefully observe everyone’s living conditions in the sky, and then he can come to a conclusion that the resistance of farmers and workers is normal and reasonable, and anyone in this environment should resist.
After reaching this conclusion, Clark certainly wanted to help them, but he knew that killing all the drug dealers would not solve the problem, so he began to look for a better way, and at this moment, he found That strange activity and underground organization.
When Oliver and Clark took over, they were really fellow villagers. When asked, you were arranged by Schiller, and I was arranged by Schiller, so what else can I say? Put your head down and work hard.
The arrival of Clark has made up for the most deadly problem of strength. Flight, clairvoyance, infinite power, and eyes can emit heat rays. Even if he is a scout, he has already taken advantage of it.
In an instant, the situation was reversed, and Oliver’s side became the one who sang and marched forward. At the same time, more locals who suffered from it joined in, and the movement became more and more hot and momentum.
Unsurprisingly, Congress panicked.
“What? Remove all surveillance personnel and put them all into Mexico??? Congress is crazy???” Kayla said loudly to the other end of the phone: “There are more than 300 important surveillance targets on the entire east coast, if they are all removed , what about our intelligence at this stage?”
“Intelligence? Without Mexico, the next one is the United States. Without the United States, what’s the use of intelligence?” Many people have been withdrawn, do you think the metropolis is more important than Moscow?”
“All the people in Moscow have been withdrawn??!
Kayla said incredulously: “What about the congress and the inauguration ceremony after those days?” Don’t you need someone to watch? ? ”
“The big picture has been decided~www.mtlnovel.com~ The person on the opposite side spit out a few words without emotion. He said: “We have completed all the work, if not for the accident in Mexico, now, the war is over. ”
Kayla took a deep breath and said, “…I’ll make arrangements right away.”
She hung up the phone, closed her eyes, and muttered to herself, “The big picture is set… Yes, the big picture is set.”
“The overall situation has been decided?”
Another voice with a smile was blown away by the wind on the west coast and slowly disappeared without a trace.
On May 25, 1989, the first plenary session of the Soviet Union was held, and Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev was elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union.
On May 26, 1989, Gorbachev was shot in the Kremlin, shot in the head, and died on the spot.
