Chapter 531 Reasons For War
Batman Thomas was uncharacteristically quiet. Before he came, he had a word with Cyborg, hoping that the Superman team assembled by Cyborg would take his opinions as the mainstay and act according to his will.
However, from beginning to end, he never had a conversation with Dane, he just watched coldly like a bystander.
Cyborg has some doubts about this, but to a certain extent, this is a good thing, because he is afraid that Thomas will say something inappropriate.
Although the dark knight he invited was a master tactician, he was not good at communicating with others, especially showing friendliness.
However, Dane knew that Batman was profiling him and trying to figure out what he was thinking. This may be every Batman's instinct.
After observing for a while, Thomas initially came to the conclusion that the man in front of him was most likely not of the same mind as Amazon's troublesome women. This was good news, and it meant that Amazon was no longer flawless.
So he finally spoke: "I think you should know that if the scale of the war continues to expand, this world will have no future."
He rarely spoke in his usual sarcastic tone, but in a serious tone.
Unlike Captain Cold, he knows exactly what to say when.
"You seem to know something." Dane said thoughtfully.
"This war is actually a bit abnormal. I felt this way from the beginning, and I felt this way even more after Louise's information came back." Thomas's expression was serious. Although he was wearing a mask, everyone could Feel this: "A war led solely by hatred should not last that long."
There can be many causes of war, but wars caused only by passion will end in vain for various reasons and are difficult to last.
In the final analysis, war is the final resort after conflicts of interest cannot be reconciled by other means, so its root lies in the redistribution of interests.
No matter what the cause of a war is, its background should be driven by interest groups, and the reason why these behind-the-scenes pushers promote the war is because they are profitable.
But Batman has analyzed that there is no obvious conflict of interest in the war between the Amazons and the Atlanteans. One lives on an isolated island, and the other sits on the rich land of the seven seas. The two races have been suffering for eight lifetimes. No, Thomas racked his brains and couldn't figure out how the two could fight.
Even taking into account the factors of faith, although the two countries do not believe in the same main god, in terms of cultural origins, everyone is in the same civilized circle.
Poseidon and Zeus are both members of the Olympian pantheon. They are not heretics. There is no religious purge, and there is no reason for holy war.
There have been countless wars launched in the name of gods in the human world, but ultimately they were due to interests and faith, but they were not the main cause at all. They were just an excuse.
Moreover, most polytheistic religions are relatively tolerant. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to start such a wide-ranging war.
There were so many casualties on both sides in this war, but neither side saw any benefit from the other side. This obviously does not conform to the principles of general war.
Cyborg and Barry wanted to resolve the dispute through peaceful means, which seemed ridiculous in Thomas's eyes. He was not laughing at their naivety, but laughing at them for not even understanding the fundamental interests of the two warring parties and making such nonsense, just like a person who knew nothing. It's just as ridiculous for a little kid who understands to try to persuade an adult to fight.
Thomas feels that if he wants to figure out the key to this, the breakthrough point should be with Dane. As a member of the Wonder Woman camp, his attitude does not seem to be loyal to that person.
Batman brought the question to the point, but considering that the eyes and ears of the gods might be hidden among everyone, Dane reached out his hand.
Shazam was the first to react. Just as he was about to resist, his eyes suddenly blurred and he didn't know where he was.
Suddenly a dark shadow came towards him, and Shazam quickly dodged it. After a closer look, he discovered that it was a pterosaur with wings spread, exactly like the dinosaur he saw in biology class.
"WTF""?"
Solomon immediately informed him that he had been transported to another world by transfer magic...
On New Paradise Island, at the moment the only people left were Batman, Cyborg and The Flash. Dane felt that these three people should be able to rule out suspicion.
Thomas realized that the next words would be a secret.
"You seem trustworthy. Let me tell you straight away. There are shadows of the gods behind this war."
An idea flashed in Thomas' mind: "They are the real planners of this war!" His tone was very firm, leaving no room for others.
Fortunately, Dane knew him very well and just nodded when he heard this: "It's not just Amazons and undersea people. I suspect that there are gods behind the human world. However, the belief of gods is already very weak in the human world. They There's not much that can be done, but I'm worried that they have installed spies among your people."
"Is that why you quarantine everyone else?"
"That's right, especially Shazam. His power comes from the gods. It's hard to say whether he has been set up by the gods. I heard that his body is a few human cubs?"
The Flash and Cyborg stared blankly at each other. As their side's strongest combat power, Shazam's weakness was directly exposed by the other side.
Barry was lucky. He was well prepared for Dane's "prophet". Cyborg was very uncomfortable. The exchange lasted only a few minutes and there were only a few words in total. However, his side's cards and details seemed to have been figured out by the opponent. This means that the communication between them lacks a lot of chips that could have been used.
But the two people who were talking didn't pay attention to Cyborg's mood.
"If I remember correctly, you are a weapon created by the gods you mentioned. Is it okay to do this? Your behavior should be called betrayal, right?"
Barry quietly pulled Thomas's hand, telling him to speak less and not push the friendly troops away.
He wanted to say something, but when he saw Dane's eyes, he always felt an inexplicable guilt, as if a child who had made a mistake suddenly saw his parents.
"In fact, what I am doing is correcting the mistakes of the gods. If this continues, not only humans, but also the gods will be destroyed in this war." Dane shook his head
He didn't say more to Batman. He didn't care about the gods as much as he said, but he had other plans for those gods.
Thomas always likes to speculate on others with the greatest malice. He has a hunch that Dane has a plan, but he doesn't know what it is.
But he didn't want to figure it out now. Instead, he looked at Dane and said, "So our interests are aligned now, right?"
Although he was very interested in what Dane said, he was keenly aware that the man in front of him seemed to know a lot of secrets. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely torture those secrets out.
Now, he just chooses to cooperate honestly, and he is really afraid of the enemy's strength.
Dane glanced at him. Batman probably didn't know that Louise had reached some cooperation with him. And according to Dane's tracking of Louise's mobile phone, the woman had not left New Paradise Island yet. This reporter was so brave. Very, very in no rush to leave.
He thought for a while and realized that the chess pieces had been laid out anyway, so there was nothing wrong with having one more, so he nodded: "Yes, it seems that we do have the same interests at the moment."
Thomas quickly hit the snake with a stick: "Then can you provide us with some help?"
What you think is quite beautiful, Dane is a little speechless.
"Please forgive me for refusing. The trust between us has not reached that level yet."
"If I understand correctly, you should be equally dissatisfied with the war as we are. I think we can definitely reach some cooperation."
Cyborg and The Flash looked at him as if they were seeing him for the first time.
You look like a damn politician now, especially your face!
But what Thomas said was not unreasonable. Although it was impossible to get anything from him, there was still no problem in sharing some information with the other party.
So Dane said to him: "I would like to suggest you to pay attention to whether there is infiltration of gods among your senior officials. I can provide you with another piece of information. The God of War is also involved in this war game. He is the most war-savvy among the gods. And the gods are happy, so...
He gave Thomas a you-know-what look.
Among the top human beings, the more desperate those who support the war, the more likely they are to be influenced by the God of War.
However, this gave Thomas a headache. Due to the events in Western Europe, there were actually many people on the human side who supported the war to the end, mainly the military and the military-industrial interest groups that supported them behind the military.
For them (very good), war is good, and only in war can their arms be sold. Not only them, but most of the industries related to logistics also support the war.
Fighting a war not only requires arms, but logistics also requires huge amounts of profits, including military uniforms, bedding, tents, cans, wine, chocolate, chewing gum, cigarettes, condoms, etc. The outbreak of a big war will not only destroy some industries, but also more Many industries heard the news and formed new interest groups.
To find the person who has been bewitched by the God of War among so many people is the most desperate job.
Even Cyborg and The Flash thought this was an impossible task.
Dane thought for a while and decided to help him narrow down the scope: "When you are investigating, pay attention to those whose punishments were very different before and after the war broke out.
Ares's power has just been restored, so his methods of bewitchment are not very mature. Human beings affected by him usually make people feel uncoordinated. I believe it is for this reason. For the greatest detective in the world, These clues should be enough. "
He speculated that, just like in the "Wonder Woman" movie, Ares would also intervene in the progress of the war, but he could not possess himself or come into the world in person, so he should use bewitching methods to seduce humans.
But Ares, the god of war, is actually not very good at doing such things, and his lover Aphrodite is just about the same. .
