Chapter 1228: The Farm of Justice (27)

Hal pursed his lips and said: "I know, the outside world calls Oliver an anti-government army, but the fact is just the opposite. We all know that Mexico's second land reform started long ago, and the theme is land confirmation."

"This policy is exactly what it means: whose land it is, it should belong to whom. But the problem is, would the gangsters want the land to belong to the farmers?"

"Of course, they can also manipulate farmers to plant poppies for them. Many fields around Guadalajara are operated this way. As I said before, most of the northwest region of Mexico is large-scale operation, while the existence of village cooperatives in the central and southern regions leads to land being divided very small."

"One person's land is one person's land. No one wants to give up their land cultivation rights. This leads to the fact that clearly it is a flat plain, the most suitable place for large-scale mechanized agriculture in the world, but it still uses the most backward manual cultivation production method."

"This will lead to another big problem: all farmers are fighting on their own, scattered soldiers. Drug lords and gangsters can very easily control them. Even, the plantations owned by several big drug lords in Guadalajara are actually so-called village cooperatives."

"Americans want to buy land there to build factories, which endangers the interests of drug lords. But they can't do anything to American groups, so they can only plunder other village cooperatives to ensure the output of their evil products."

"Other village cooperatives were farming well, but were burned down. People from the gangsters held guns to their foreheads, letting them plant poppies. They were forced to plant poppies, but the government said this was illegal and wanted to burn their crops. The contradiction lies right here."

"The more serious the economic crisis, the more serious the land run, and the more difficult the farmers will live. So, Oliver was able to pull up such a large team in a short time and achieve victory."

A different luster flashed in Hal's eyes. He said: "The people on this land have resilience and tenacity beyond my imagination."

"The great revolution that started in 1910, its difficulty and brilliance are not inferior to any revolution in this world. Mexico's land reform is also one of the largest land reforms in the world. They have never given up fighting for themselves. Their struggle should not be ignored."

Hal was silent for a moment, let out a long sigh, and continued: "Mexico's government realized the legacy problems of the last land reform long ago. They wanted to carry out secondary reform, but the fact is, it is indeed very difficult to push to the individual level. There is political pressure and economic pressure."

"Other regions are fine, but Guadalajara here is simply a place where heroes are entrenched and in deep water and hot fire, with various forces intertwined. Oliver killed a way out in such a dangerous situation. I sincerely hope he can go further."

Hal looked into Diana's eyes and said: "Just like you said, even if it fails in the end, exploration is not meaningless."

"And now, the problem Oliver faces is that he has taken down the arable land once controlled by drug lords, but found that even if these arable lands are returned to the farmers, it won't make them live better."

"He just returned the land to those who own it so simply, then they will still return to their own small piece of land, pick up hoes, and start working. Working hard for a year, they might not even be able to eat their fill."

"In this war, Oliver fought out his prestige. Now the hearts of the people are directed toward him. This is the best time for reform and transformation. But the problem is, he doesn't know how to farm at all. Among the group of people following him, no one knows how to farm to produce more things."

Clark stood up with a "whoosh," looked at Hal, and said: "We will go over now. That is a full 70,000 acres of high-quality arable land. How can it not feed a few people? They must be planting it wrong. I can help them!"

But Bruce still sat calmly in his seat. He looked at Hal and asked: "Do the groups providing you with aid have any new moves?"

"No, they are strangely silent, only telling us to contact them when we need help," Hal replied.

"They are observing," Bruce's voice lowered: "Now, it is the watershed for them to make a choice, and the basis for their choice is Oliver's performance. They want to know what kind of person Oliver is and what kind of ability he has."

"So, how should Oliver perform?"

"No, he shouldn't go to perform, but should go to observe. At this time, it is also the best time for him to observe these partners of his," Bruce put down his knife and fork, tapping the table with his fingertips and explaining:

"If I didn't guess wrong, the aid you asked for before should all be some weapons. To be honest, this is easy for any aid party. But now, the war is temporarily over, and construction is about to begin."

"This is the best time to observe the ability of the aid party and expose their true colors. You can completely tell them that you no longer need weapons, but need some other aid, and take this opportunity to see how much they are worth."

Hal narrowed his eyes. He heard the implication of Bruce's words. If he could really figure out the true colors of these people, maybe he could pit them later using information asymmetry.

Bruce pondered for a while, looked at Hal, and said: "I agree with what Clark said. We should go over now."

Hal opened his mouth wide and said: "Are you crazy?! You are Bruce Wayne. You intend to go to a place where drug lords gather to group together?!"

"Didn't you drive the drug lords away?"

"That can't... Wait a moment, Bruce, it's very dangerous there!"

"Is it more dangerous than Cat Getan?"

"Uh..."

Hal was speechless. He carefully recalled what he saw and heard in Mexico, and then found that Batman could kill randomly in Cat Getan, so those gangsters in Guadalajara really might not be ranked."

"Most importantly, farming is not something that can be solved by remote guidance," Bruce looked at Clark and

Clark was incredibly anxious. He stepped forward, grabbed Hal's arm, and said, "Do you have any idea that this is a critical period for spring plowing? Are all those fields of yours just going to sit empty?! The spring plowing season is about to end!"

"Many high-yield crops are early-sowing plants; missing a single day could mean a fifty percent drop in yield!"

"Hurry! I'm going to call my parents right now, and then we'll leave! It would be best if we could start sowing seeds by tomorrow morning, that way we can at least preserve more than half the yield!"

Clark rushed out immediately. Diana tapped her cheek with her fingertip and said, "Although I don't know if you welcome me, if I can be of any help, I would like to go too."

Hal hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse, but Bruce cut in before him, saying, "Of course, we need your help. It would be best if you could come."

After saying this, he gave Hal a wink. Hal immediately swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and changed them to: "Yes, beautiful lady, it is our honor to welcome your arrival."

"I don't buy that." Diana stood up, intending to go upstairs to change her clothes. As she walked up the stairs, she said, "Don't call me a beautiful lady. If you can, calling me a strong warrior is better."

Soon, Clark rushed back and said, "The spring plowing here is basically finished, so I can't help much anyway. The vacation isn't over yet, so my parents agreed to let me go to Mexico."

"Now, I'm going to pack my luggage... Ah, right, how are we getting there? The three of us are easy enough, but Bruce... It's not impossible for me to carry him while flying, but it is a bit far after all..."

"It's no problem. The Green Lantern ring can open a portal. You take your luggage, and we'll teleport directly."

Clark didn't say anything else; he strode swiftly back to his room and began packing his luggage at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, all three were packed. Hal opened a green portal behind the farm warehouse, but before leaving, Clark suddenly seemed to remember something, looked at Hal, and asked, "How is Krypto? Is his mood any better?"

"Although I'm not too worried about his safety, we are going on a long trip after all. How about I fly to the East Coast and pick him up?"

"Don't worry." Hal looked at Clark and said, "To thank you for your previous help, I've already found a very professional doctor for him. I guarantee you'll see a healthy and lively little dog when you return."

With a flash of green light, the portal disappeared from the farm.

In an apartment building in Haibincheng, a red portal floated in the center of the room. Beside the portal, Shiler crossed his arms and looked at Brand, saying, "So, you came here to find me just to have me provide psychological counseling for a dog?"

After speaking, Shiler shifted his gaze downward and saw a white dog lying on the floor. The dog looked somewhat like a white Labrador, with floppy ears and a pink nose and paw pads.

Before Brand could speak, Shiler continued, "The fact that a carefree little puppy could be depressed is already incredible enough. That it's depressed to the point where you're asking me to help treat it—what's going on? Is the world ending?"

Brand wanted to speak again, but Shiler interrupted him, saying, "Even if I could understand that, what's going on with those two?"

Having said that, Shiler looked toward the other side. Standing to Brand's left were Harley and Jason.

Harley had a piece of gauze on her forehead, and Jason had thick bandages wrapped around his neck. Judging by the way they looked at each other, they had likely just engaged in some not-so-friendly interactions.

"Put the dog issue aside for a moment. You explain first—what happened to those two?" Shiler pointed at the two children.

"As you can see, they're fighting. And ever since they met in your office, they've been fighting every single day, day and night. Neither Gordon nor I can control them, so we had no choice but to send them to you."

"You can't control them, so you send them to me? The arterial blood from the last student I supervised hasn't even dried on the floor yet. Are you serious?"

"The problem is, the reason they're fighting is to argue about whether or not you're actually a good person."

"Jason firmly believes that you are a responsible, good teacher and a good person, but Harley thinks you must be the most evil, worst serial killer mastermind. Yet, at the same time, they are both proud of you."

Sure enough, the way Jason and Harley looked at each other was full of anger and defiance, but at the same time, they both stared at Shiler with eager, sparkling eyes.

Shiler covered his forehead.

"Let's just talk about the dog."
