In front of the camera, Brook, Hodge, and Blake stood on top of a half-collapsed building in a majestic suit of armor.
It was a five-story building, but there seemed to have been an explosion just now. At this time, the fourth and fifth floors of the building had collapsed several rooms, and there were also rows of potholes outside the building.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the three of them stood under the scorching sun and struck their own unique poses. Each of them had their own designed logo on their chest.
Brook represented courage. His symbol was a roaring lion's head.
Hodge represented honor with his logo of a holy sword entwined with vines;
The only black man among the three, Blake, represented sacrifice with his logo of a bauhinia emblem.
Following that, the image zoomed in to a close-up of the three men. Brook's face appeared first. He looked at the camera with a solemn expression. "Severely crack down on all forms of crime and resolutely defend the legitimate rights and interests of every citizen!"
Next was Hodge. He gave a police salute before declaring righteously, "The dignity of the law shall not be trampled upon!"
Blake slowly turned to the camera and flashed a set of pearly white teeth. "No one can commit a crime in front of us, the BHB Combative Police!"
"Courage!"
"Honor!"
"Sacrifice!"
Following that, the three of them spoke one after another. Each of them uttered the words that they represented. Then, all three of them put their hands on top of each other. "The BHB Combative Police Force, victory in every battle!"
Following that, the complete BHB logo appeared on the screen and the promotional video for this scene came to an end.
Following that, the image switched to a black man in a suit with piercing eyes standing on a pitch-black stage. He faced the camera and slowly said, "Dear viewers in front of the screen, what you've just seen is a terrorist attack in Windhoek, Namibia today.
"At eight o 'clock in the morning, the local police received a report that someone was planting a bomb in the Tagler Building. The police immediately mobilized and surrounded the six criminals in the building. However, no one expected the terrorists to be armed with heavy weapons. The police had no choice but to evacuate the entire floor and call in the BHB Combative Police Force.
"The BHB Combative Police Force did not disappoint. It only took them three minutes to eliminate all six terrorists and restore peace to the area!"
"Who would've thought that Africa, the continent with the lowest level of human civilization, would be at the forefront of the world for the first time..."
At this point, the black man could not help but sigh. "From 1860 onwards, England was the first to start the first industrial revolution of human civilization. In that revolution, humans replaced human labor with machines and replaced individual manual production with large-scale industrial production. From then on, the productivity of human society skyrocketed!"
"And that Industrial Revolution was also the era of the emergence of machines. However, the real decisive role was the Second Industrial Revolution from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. In this Industrial Revolution, mankind began to enter the electrical era."
"Then came the third industrial revolution. Humans entered the era of artificial intelligence and microelectronics, until today …"
As the black man spoke, images flashed behind him one after another. These images included black-and-white photographs of old machines and industrial machinery. There were also images of scientists such as Edison and Einstein. There were also images and silhouettes of various modern electronic technologies. When these images were mixed together, it created an inexplicable sense of time travel.
After that, the black man took a big step forward. He walked directly in front of the camera and spread his arms out. "However, the ideology of this world has never been so close to the future..."
"As you can see, ever since Blacklight Biotechnology launched the 'Xingtian Bionic Project', we humans have slowly and naturally entered a new era. This era is called the future, it's called hope, it's called peace, it's called — Paradise!"
A burst of passionate music slowly sounded, and the black man said in an extremely powerful voice, "Bionic prosthetics have allowed millions of disabled people to regain a high-quality life, allowing them to get rid of wheelchairs, get rid of the discrimination of the crowd, get rid of their inferiority complex, and stand up again like us."
"Now, not only have bionic prosthetics entered our lives, they've also entered the law enforcement department. As we all know, the police force is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. It's also one of the professions with the highest rate of disability and death. However, due to certain reasons, the crime rate in many areas remains high. Have you ever thought that if we can strengthen the police force, wouldn't they be able to better protect us?"
As he spoke, the images of Brook, Hodge, and Blake appeared behind the black man. The black man immediately turned around and pointed at the three of them. He spoke to the camera, "The BHB Combative Police Force is the first special security agency established by the African country of Namibia. It's funded by the famous international group Blacklight Biotechnology. These police officers who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of the citizens have been recalled to their posts.
"Not only that, but they've also been reborn from the ashes and given a new body that can overcome all obstacles! Then, like the God of War, they'll strike down all evil and imprison all criminals in prison! "
At this point, the black man suddenly changed the topic. Another image appeared on the screen behind him. It was a picture of a man who had lost both his legs and was lying in a dark room. "Look here, this is Mr. Evans Morrison, a police officer from Northern America. He joined the police department in 2015 and became an honorable police officer. From 2015 to 2023, he arrested a total of sixteen criminals and killed four of them.
"However, on a certain night in 2023, he was unfortunately shot in the back during a firefight with the criminals. After three days and three nights of resuscitation, although his life was saved, he had completely lost the ability to move...
"Then, he lay on the bed like that, until today …"
After a brief pause, the black man continued. "There must be people who are concerned about whether he received compensation or not. I can confirm that yes, he did receive half a million dollars in compensation. However, this money can only be used to pay for his medical expenses. It's not enough for him to enjoy a peaceful old age. As a hero to countless citizens, he protected this continent and this is how he'll be treated for the rest of his life. There are many people like Evans Morrison. They shed blood for the sake of the citizens, only to end up penniless and bedridden for the rest of their lives..."
The black man experienced a brief moment of silence before he continued. His words became more and more forceful. "I'm not trying to defend them. All I want to say is that while we're still worrying about the lack of security and police forces, the African Continent, which has always been lagging behind in terms of civilization, has taken the lead and taken the lead by using bionic prosthetics to maintain public security. I see a kind of progress in this, a progress that's more civilized than the Central Continent or even Northern America!
"We have countless heroes who remain unknown to the public. They're lying in cold rooms, in low-rent houses that are as poor as a church's. They can't even afford takeout. The reason for this is the incompetence of the government! They could have stood up, they could have continued to shine, but the government of every country has strangled them to death! "
At this moment, the music reached a climax and then abruptly stopped.
The black man suddenly exhaled. He looked at the camera again with a hint of hope. "I hope to see the BHB combative police appear in every corner of the world where the light of justice doesn't reach, in every country and continent..."
As soon as he said this, the music that had stopped abruptly began to play again, pushing the atmosphere of the program to a climax!
"I'm Wilson Richard. This is the Earth Federation's international television program – Richard's World. Thank you for watching. See you next time!"
With this concluding statement, the image on the screen suddenly flickered and all the lights went out. All that was left was the black silhouette of the black man, a staff list, and a special thank you.
These special thank you were the names of various companies and groups. However, among them, there was a unique logo. It was a black ball that glowed yellow, like a black hole...
"Click!"
As the program Richard's World ended, the virtual screen in front of Chen Chen automatically shut down.
"Not bad, this program with the highest number of viewers on the international channel is starting to favor us."
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction as he watched the impassioned program. "This is only the first month of the BHB combative police's implementation. I didn't expect the global response to be even greater than I expected."
"Of course, after all, the BHB setting itself is very much in line with the values of Western society."
Little X agreed. "Westerners have always been a fan of individual heroism. In this environment, the appearance of a few perfect superheroes will immediately garner a huge response. It's fair to say that Marvel and DC have paved the way for us for the past fifty years... Of course, this also has to do with the one billion US dollars we've spent in marketing this month."
"But..."
Little X suddenly changed the topic and looked at Chen Chen cautiously. "But in the East, such as the North Sea Continent, the East Sea Continent, the Central Continent of India, and so on, the BHB Combative Police Force's influence is much smaller. Although they still have a lot of fans, they're definitely not as fanatical as in the West."
"Of course, the North Sea Continent has always been the West's nemesis. The Indian Continent has its own Bollywood. The Central Continent and the East Sea Continent have their own cultural circles that are completely different from the West. It's only natural that they don't get the BHB's point."
Chen Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Therefore, our initial focus of marketing should be in the West."
Only then did Little X nod in agreement.
"We're still in the early stages now, so it's understandable that the cost is higher. When the BHB gradually gains more popularity, the cost can be reduced."
Chen Chen pondered. "Also, if we want to build the BHB into a big IP, just three people won't be enough. After all, the Namibian market is too small. After discussing with the Northern American and European Continents, we'll definitely need to establish new local combative police forces. The BHB will be the prototype for all of them."
"So, we should continue recruiting?"
Little X asked.
"That's right. We can start a variety show and gather retired highly disabled police officers from various countries."
Chen Chen mused. "First, we'll build them a simple suit of armor, then have them demonstrate their skills in combat and marksmanship in front of a large audience. Then, we'll pick a few of the most popular super combative police officers. These people will then be qualified to join the BHB Combative Police Force.
"However, if we establish local combative police forces in other countries in the future, we'll inevitably dominate the market for the BHB Combative Police Force. After all, the people of various countries will surely support their own combative police forces. Then, wouldn't it be a waste of our investment?"
Little X was a little skeptical.
"Of course not."
Chen Chen could not help but laugh. He asked, "Because if that day really comes, it means that the continent or country has begun to replace human law enforcement with robots. At that time, we'll be able to make a fortune just by selling them the combative police prosthetics. Why would we need to care about the BHB Combative Police Force?"
"Ah, that's true..."
Little X immediately understood.
"Therefore, it's best to keep a close eye on the BHB department and ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Chen Chen reminded, "Otherwise, the BHB's reputation may be destroyed in an instant. Once that's done, it won't be as easy to rebuild as it is now..."
Little X nodded thoughtfully and then continued. "Oh right, Sir Godfather, speaking of keeping a close eye on the BHB, there was a conflict yesterday. This incident didn't cause any consequences so I didn't report it to you immediately."
"It's normal to have conflicts. After all, these people aren't real superheroes."
Chen Chen replied, "So, what's the matter?"
"It's something related to Brook."
Following Little X's explanation, a video was quickly played.
In the video, Brook single-handedly lifted a red-haired woman and tossed her down again while uttering a string of threatening words.
Then, the video changed to a conversation between a Chinese man and Brook. Chen Chen recognized this Chinese man as Liu Zhijian, the manager of the BHB department who was personally promoted by Qian Wenhuan. However, in the video, Brook was about to turn around and leave because the two did not see eye to eye.
In the next second, Liu Zhijian suddenly pressed the emergency button on the table and Brook was instantly immobilized.
Following that, there was a round of threats and promises before the two men parted on bad terms.
When the two videos were over, Chen Chen frowned slightly.
"This matter can be big or small. If it's small, it's just an ordinary conflict. If it's not resolved properly, it may affect the international image of the BHB."
Chen Chen thought for a moment. "In that case, let's..."
