Harley didn't steal the spaceship, nor did she kill the people in the camp. If Prince Sannomiya could ambush her, he must have planted a lot of spies in the camp.
Harley, who knew all this, was of course willing to talk openly about it.
Don't cause any "misunderstandings" and affect your "career economy".
Therefore, after the camp attack ended that night, she consciously arranged today's trial.
Naturally, Harley had already considered the accusation that she and Da Chao conspired to kill Prince Sannomiya, leading to the destruction of the camp exploration team.
So far, this is the only crime she has committed on the surface.
By cleaning up, Harley will be completely free from this incident and will have the opportunity to achieve other goals.
"Colonel Hardy, don't you recognize me?" Dachao said with a complicated expression.
"You are Tear Man, should I know you?" Hardy was stunned.
"I am also Houston Hopkins." Dachao said.
"Ah, you are the porter of Arctic freight? It doesn't look like that at all." Louise exclaimed.
Hardy looked at Dachao's face seriously for a long time, and looked puzzled, "Are you really a freightman?"
"There is no need for me to lie about something that can be easily found out." Dachao said solemnly: "You have my information, you know that I worked at the Arctic Freight Company a few months ago, and you also know that I can enter the camp.
, has nothing to do with Senator Quinn at all.
If you hadn't stopped me that night, I would have entered the spacecraft and driven it away."
Harley also said seriously: "Everyone, please think carefully, if Superman and I have known each other for a long time, and even secretly formed an alliance, why would I need to trap and kill the Son of the Three Houses in the exploration team camp?
Wouldn't it be more direct and tactically advantageous for me to take Superman with me, find their lair directly, and initiate an attack?"
Looking at the thoughtful people, she pointed at Agent Kincaid and said, "If you still have doubts about what I said, you can ask people from the Shadow Bureau.
They must know that four years ago, I formed a team to surround and kill the Son of the Third Palace.
I almost defeated them four years ago. If there are more supermen now, I will definitely win."
Agent Kincaid nodded and said: "That's right, if Superman is willing to be manipulated by her, she won't have to engage in any conspiracy at all, she can directly push the Son of the Three Houses across the board and win without losing."
This is reasonable and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Everyone almost believed that that night was really a coincidence.
In the silence, Hardy frowned and said, "Since you are Superman, why were you stopped by my people?"
"Because I don't want to conflict with you. 'Superman' is by no means a representative who acts recklessly, disregards human life, and violates laws and disciplines." Da Chao said forcefully.
"But, you stole our spaceship, you have to hand it over."
Dachao's amiable and law-abiding attitude drove away the fear in the Vice President's heart, and his treacherous nature began to return.
"First of all, the spaceship is no longer on American soil; secondly, the spaceship belongs to my home planet, not the U.S. government.
It is the legacy left to me by my home planet!" Dachao said seriously.
"I have a different opinion on this point," the vice president shook his head. "It came to the earth 20,000 years ago and has long become part of the earth's assets, like iron ore, forests and lakes."
"Mr. Vice President, your personal views do not represent the law, let alone interstellar practice.
Let alone 20,000 years, many alien reconnaissance ships will stay on a primitive planet for hundreds of thousands, or even tens of millions of years, just to observe the birth and evolution of life.
Can you say that those scientific research ships no longer belong to their original owners?" Da Chao said solemnly.
The vice president, who was not very alert to begin with, was immediately speechless.
"Superman, do you admit that you are an honorable American?" Harley asked.
"Of course, I love the United States and regard myself as an American." Dachao did not hesitate.
"But your behavior of retaining the starship actually threatens the national security of the United States.
I guess it was out of this consideration that Mr. Vice President proposed that you hand over the spaceship." Harley said seriously.
"Yes, that's what I thought." The vice president glanced at her gratefully.
"That spaceship is not a battleship, and I never thought of sailing it to the United States, or any country with territorial sovereignty.
It has now become a bunker for me to live in during my free time and will not threaten anyone or any country." Da Chao said.
"Whether there is a threat or not, you can't decide on your own." Harley said.
"Time will prove my words."
"What if time proves that you are lying?" Harley smiled slightly, "Unless you let us check it again."
Dachao frowned slightly, "Let your scientific research team enter my spaceship? Sorry, I cannot agree."
"Then how do you plan to reassure Washington?" Harley asked.
Superman hesitated and shook his head, "I don't know."
Harley turned to the vice president who was trying to put on a serious face, "The problem of how to live in harmony with an alien immigrant has arisen for the first time in the thousands of years of civilization on earth.
Don't say that we can't reach a consensus with Superman on national defense and security issues now. Even if we get to the stage of signing a contract, can we represent Washington?
Therefore, my suggestion is to discuss this series of issues in a series of subsequent meetings.
Well, there are talks between the U.S. government and Superman. Mr. Vice President, what do you think?"
"Okay, very good suggestion." Sleepy nodded repeatedly.
Series of meetings and multi-party talks are the battlefields that American politicians are most used to, like the most, and can best demonstrate the significance of their existence!
Superman struggled for a moment and said: "I want to have a private chat with Senator Quinn before deciding whether to participate in the talks with the US government."
Suspicion flashed in the vice president's eyes, "Why are you talking to her? What do you want to talk about?"
"I have never dealt with the government, and I am not sure whether I want to talk to you.
Senator Quinn saved my life, I think in private we can have a few words from our hearts," said Tearman.
The Vice President nodded slightly, "Okay."
Before Dachao and Hallie left, Louise shouted: "Tearman, after talking to her, can we also have a chat? I still have many questions to ask you!
I want to do an exclusive interview for you so that people around the world can know you better."
The Vice President stared at her sternly and said: "Miss Lane, the reason why you are allowed to attend this meeting is just because you already know too many national secrets before, and there are some issues that need to be confirmed with you.
But this does not mean that we allow you, as a journalist, to publish information that threatens national security."
"The public has a right to know!" Louise argued.
"No one in the camp is willing to sign a confidentiality agreement, and no one can leave!"
"Negotiations with the government were not in the previous plan."
On the backside of the iceberg two kilometers away, Clark wondered.
"The government knows your true identity, and when you are still bound by your mother, reaching a tacit understanding with the US government is the best choice, right?" Harley said.
Clark sighed: "Of course I hope the government will never harass me and my mother.
It doesn’t take much thought to understand that politicians are greedy and controlling.
I'm afraid I can't agree to their request.
For example, like Dr. Manhattan, working for the military.
For example, provide alien technology on the spaceship, or even directly commandeer my spaceship."
"Superman, actually you have always had a misunderstanding that you are the weak one."
Harley smiled and told the story of the U.S. government's fear of him, the analysis of his character and behavior by a team of psychologists, and their earlier laissez-faire attitude of "ignoring him and letting him fend for himself."
once.
Seeing his thoughtful expression, she sighed: "You are an honest and good person. You probably have never thought about what you can bring to the world if you lose your bottom line.
But they are not honest people, they have all thought about it, and they are all afraid of the result.
Compared with controlling you and getting benefits from you, the first goal they want to achieve is that you don't bring destruction to them.
The first instinct of human beings is to survive.
This is your greatest confidence in negotiating with the government, and it is also your absolute advantage.
So, you don’t have to be afraid of contacting the government at all, it’s them you should be afraid of.”
"I don't want to be someone others fear." Clark sighed.
"What if it's awe?" Harley smiled faintly, "The only difference between awe and fear is that while you make others afraid, you insist on doing things that make them respect you.
Let them fear your strength, admire your character, and like you as a person. This is your correct positioning on earth and in the United States.
Avoiding can never solve a problem, it can only cause greater misunderstandings."
"You convinced me." Clark nodded slightly, "What do you think I should do to be 'feared by strength, admired by spirit, and liked as a person' by the people on Earth?"
Harley said: "It is difficult for others, but for you it is as simple as drinking water.
First of all, answer their questions, put forward your own requirements, and state your bottom line in an attitude that is neither humble nor arrogant.
For these, you just need to follow your heart, no need to do any tricks.
As long as you make sure you can communicate like normal earthlings, they can reach a compromise with you even if you are a jerk.
What's more, you're not.
After the initial tacit understanding is reached, you are equivalent to getting a government license, and you can be yourself with confidence and boldness.
For example, use your abilities to save others.
Clark, you are a truly good person. You don’t need to pretend or hide. As long as you show your true self, no one will dislike you except those with a twisted mentality."
"Thank you for your recognition of me. Now I can face those government officials calmly." Clark expressed gratitude.
One day later, Gotham Quinn Manor.
"I didn't even get to meet a government representative to negotiate with Superman?" Harley sneered: "Even if you kill the donkey, it's too fast, isn't it?"
Laurie sighed: "Even if you prove that it was a coincidence that you and Superman teamed up to kill the Son of Three Houses, more than a thousand people died in the camp.
That's right, you helped the Shadow Bureau capture a group of spies in Mike Pompeo's team, and successfully dumped the blame on two congressmen, Hopkins and Hardaway.
But the big guys will only feel more unhappy with you!
I also don’t understand why your popularity in Congress and in Washington politics is so poor.”
"What don't you understand? First of all, those big guys don't practice good deeds in their lives, they are afraid of going to hell before they die, and they want to get my heaven card.
Secondly, in the process of saving the multiverse, I greatly offended the evil forces.
For example, hell demon.
For example, the Court of Owls who believe in the Dark God.
They can't defeat me with real skills, so they can only use political power to suppress me." Harley said.
