"Harry, I have to admit that your thoughts are a bit irrational." Joseph said hesitantly.
Harley smiled and said: "Joseph, I also admit that you racists are a little less confident."
It's good that she can be natural with him who is a racist.
But her words made him frown.
"We are proud of our ancestors and pure blood, how can we not be confident?
Only those who are not confident will question the achievements and actions of their ancestors and reflect on them."
Harley said: "Didn't you notice? Of all the different races in the world, only white people are the most enthusiastic about reflection and racial equality. Doesn't this mean that white people are kind and good enough?"
"That's because white people have the upper hand. They have been discriminating against other races before." Joseph said excitedly.
"What you said can be said in Europe and the United States. Based on the entire history of human civilization, the Chinese people have dominated the world for most of their time. Have they reflected on their ancestors' 'discriminatory' behavior of calling black people Kunlun slaves?" Harley said disapprovingly.
"I think this is their advantage." Joseph sighed.
Harry frowned and said, "Joseph, what exactly do you want to say? Is our topic going too far?"
She suddenly remembered something: Admiral Mark is a black man!
The question is, can Joseph, who clearly shows racist tendencies, conspire with Mark to use the "power of the hydrogen bomb"?
Can they trust each other?
Mutual use is possible, but there will never be trust!
So, did Mark lie to her, or were Mark and Joseph deceiving each other?
In any case, she didn't intend to play a potential KKK in depth. Joseph was not worthy of her efforts to improve his acting skills. At worst, she would kidnap him later.
Joseph was also thinking deeply. It was obvious that she was not a like-minded comrade and theoretically should not be involved in the "Seventh Cavalry Regiment".
But they really need her, and she's not really a pioneer in the affirmative action movement.
"Harry, if I invite you to join a more radical white organization, would you be willing?" he tentatively asked.
Harley was so happy that she really came.
"I don't want to." She shook her head and simply refused.
"Uh, why?"
Joseph was stunned, he shouldn't have reacted so violently!
Suddenly he felt unwilling to do so, and he lost a lot of hesitation.
"I don't want to do something that has no good but only harm." Harley reminded: "Joseph, New York state is different from Ohio State. This is the stronghold of the Democratic Party."
The Democratic Party is the stronghold of leftists.
To understand the difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, just look at their respective representatives.
The horse gang leader of the Democratic Party, the Sleeping Emperor, the Vice President of the Sleeping Emperor, and the Republican Emperor
Joseph is a typical Republican.
"What if there are benefits?" Joseph asked.
"It depends on how big the benefits are. As long as there are enough benefits, let alone any radical organization, it's okay even if you swear an oath to Hitler." Harley said matter-of-factly.
Joseph was silent for a moment and asked softly: "You were also born in Oklahoma, why haven't you been to your hometown in these years?"
Harry's eyes flashed slightly, "Do you know my grandfather Kasapa? He lives in Salta City and seems to have joined a white organization called the Seventh Cavalry Regiment."
Harley chuckled, "When he and his 'comrades' were chatting in the bar, he wouldn't shy away from a seven or eight-year-old girl."
"Have you ever thought about inheriting his career?" Joseph looked confused.
Harry shook his head and said, "As the old saying goes, I won't do anything that's not good for you.
Everyone wants to be Bruce Wayne's successor, but no one wants to inherit the legacy of the homeless man on the street.
The 7th Cavalry Regiment may not be as bad as the Tramps, but it is still just a small local force, and it is difficult to even get out of the city of Salta."
"What if the Seventh Cavalry has great ideals and the power to realize them?" Joseph asked.
"I'm starting to be interested in it now," Harley said with a look of realization. "You are probably its leader, and you also know my grandfather. Your great ideal seems to be related to Dr. Manhattan."
Since he was hesitant, she would help him speed up the progress.
Joseph's pupils shrank and he said calmly: "I have nothing to do with the Seventh Cavalry."
Harley looked at him and smiled, "Joseph, your butt determines your head. Now that I am a Democratic congressman from New York State, I will hold high the slogan of democracy and equality.
If my father were the autocratic king of a European country and I was his sole heir, I would shout 'Long live the king'.
I can see that you are testing me.
I just want to say that your pattern is a bit low.
No matter whether I am a good member of the Ku Klux Klan or not, as long as I am useful to you, we can cooperate and win-win.
If I'm of no use to you, even if I'm the reincarnation of Hitler, I'll still kick you away."
Having said this, Joseph could only smile bitterly and sighed: "You are a typical American politician who only talks about interests and not morality.
In this case, let's just talk about buying and selling.
I want your Helicopter Card to Heaven. Give it to me and swear an oath in accordance with my request. I will provide you with an opportunity to make ‘huge profits’.”
"Why do you negotiate terms with me?" Harley said calmly.
Joseph said in a deep voice: "Harry, you are a smart person, so you must understand that I belong to a large organization.
Well, as big as the conservatives in the United States are, our territory will expand.
One of the greatest benefits of a large organization is that even if I sacrifice it, it will still function and still have the ability to avenge me.
By the way, I have a close relationship with the military. I underwent mind shielding surgery in the Shadow Bureau, and I also wear a ‘psychic spore monitoring chip’.”
He tapped his temple and said with a smile: "It was also invented by the Technical Department of the Shadow Bureau. Whether it can be perfectly immune to mental spores is still uncertain due to the lack of experimental data.
But it can definitely detect the invasion of the brain by psychospores, and then immediately transmit the invasion information to the outside.
You can't do anything to us because we represent most of the United States.
Cooperating with us can bring you huge benefits.
These are where my confidence lies.”
Harley's expression was weird, and she used the fear of death as a source of confidence, but this confidence was really lacking.
Moreover, why bother talking about life and death? She is not a murderous devil.
"Well, it's very good. You are very confident, and I am indeed very interested in the benefits you mentioned." Harley nodded and asked again: "Why do you want the Paradise Card? You are still young and don't seem to be able to use it."
Joseph's eyes flashed. Since the topic has reached this level, then
"Harley, when we were discussing the sequel to "Red Manhattan", there was a question that I had been holding on to.
If the villain gets part of the 'Manhattan Power' and becomes another 'Jonathan', can he deal with the final Manhattan?
In other words, can we use 'Jonathan' to drain all of Manhattan's power, let him die, and make the villain's subordinates become 'New Manhattan'?"
"Could that villain be you?" Harley narrowed her eyes.
"It can also be us." Joseph said meaningfully.
Harry suddenly felt something was not right.
Joseph is not stupid.
With the confidence to die at any time, he is even very "courageous and resourceful".
Here comes the problem.
He is not stupid, so why did he reveal a big secret that he had concealed for several years or even more than ten years when they first met?
Even if he needs her "professional" Manhattan theory knowledge, even if he is interested in the Paradise Card, the bigger the plan, the more it should be carried out step by step and slowly.
For example, first invite the old man Kasapa to test it out.
For example, first become a "close friend" with her and slowly get along with her over a few months.
He acted too impatient and reckless.
Could it be that the situation was disrupted because of the death of General Mark?
No, Mark is a black man and is definitely not the real leader of the "Seventh Cavalry Regiment".
Harry stared at Joseph's eyes for a long time, not finding any eagerness, but full of indifference and confidence.
"We have only known each other for less than a day, how can we establish mutual trust?" she asked curiously.
"I have the ability to trust you, and I ask you to trust me. I will not make fun of myself."
Joseph thought for a while and then said: "How about this, you take the paradise card and follow me back to Salta now. There is some sincerity that cannot be shown through words."
"Now?"
"Well, that's right now."
Harley was lost in thought, and Joseph's behavior became more and more strange. He seemed to be very impatient, but also very calm.
Suddenly, she thought of a possibility and her expression changed slightly. Could it be today? They are going to 'become villains' today?
If the plan to extract Manhattan's power was implemented today, then Joseph's behavior would be very logical.
It doesn't matter if they just met and talked for a short time and revealed their old story, because if the plan succeeds, they will even take the initiative to disclose their "great feats" and have the "power of the hydrogen bomb" to protect their own interests.
If they fail, they will definitely be killed by Doctor Manhattan. They are more willing to disclose their great feats of challenging the blue god.
Even if Harley turns her back and captures Joseph, tortures him, and interrogates him, it doesn't matter. They will still be able to steal Manhattan's power right away as planned, even if they sacrifice one of him and thousands more.
It is impossible to say that there is a plan B specially prepared for "Joseph cannot leave Quinn Manor on time".
"Okay, let's go to Salta City now."
After thinking about this, Harley agreed immediately without any hesitation.
As for ally Lowry
If her guess is true and Joseph is stuck in time to come to her, then
Harry sighed inwardly, maybe she should thank Joseph.
She was stuck at level 50 and waited for Laurie for more than half a month, only to find herself lonely.
She didn't come when she was supposed to come, and she found him when he shouldn't have come.
Joseph sat there without moving, just looking at her with a smile.
"What?" she asked confused.
"Heaven card." There was finally some urgency in his eyes.
Harry subconsciously glanced at Duoduo, who was basking in the sun outside the door, and said with a smile: "Of course I have such a treasure. We can talk about it when we get there."
Joseph thought for a moment and said, "What do you think? Let's go to the airport first and sign a contract on the plane that neither party can break, and then you give me the card."
Harley did not offer to donate her blimp. She only made a phone call, patted the old dog Dodo who chased her to the gate, and got into the car with Joseph.
At the airport, a small private plane was waiting.
On the plane, Harley met a strange mage.
"Hi, Witch Harley, I'm Giles, the magical advisor to Senator Joseph."
A handsome guy with shoulder-length blond hair who looked younger than the 18-year-old Li Zizi was half lying on the sofa, smiling and waving hello to her.
