These people were all secret Department of Defense operatives, although Luke didn't know which department they belonged to.
But killing these people would be equivalent to Batman officially declaring war on the US Department of Defense.
Luke didn't plan to make Batman such a thorn. In any case, he had plenty of other identities that could be thorns.
The work of the Advanced Joint Research Team was also quite interesting.
In the beginning, it was the same kind of existence as the Sentinel Secret Service. It mainly studied superpowers and tried to use them for the American government.
This idea was actually no different from all the super soldier programs, except that the soldiers were strengthened in a different direction.
But in recent years, after Amanda Walker came to power, she had been trying to add another kind of intelligence — directly combining ready-made superpowers for America's use.
Of course, the trust in ready-made personnel was different from the people they had trained themselves.
Amanda wasn't a naive and naive person, but a typical dark and ruthless politician.
Her plan was to directly use lethal means to control superpowers, especially criminals with superpowers, and make them complete their missions.
She didn't need to provide any salary for these superpower criminals. At most, she would improve their prison conditions and allow them to visit their families as payment.
She wouldn't feel bad if they died, and if they were alive, the cost would be low. They were the most suitable "tools."
Her philosophy was that since these people only thought about using superpowers to commit crimes, they didn't care about human rights.
Amanda's idea hadn't received much support before. After all, everyone was researching superpowers, and it wasn't like they didn't have any plans for themselves.
If they didn't spend a lot of money, how could they make money?
If there really were new "products" in the future, the Department of Defense and the military would spend a lot of money to purchase a batch, and all the parties involved would be able to pocket more benefits.
Amanda's idea wasn't bad, but it wasn't suitable for everyone to make money.
In fact, the people who supported Amanda also wanted to use the "illegal" nature of superpower criminals to buy drugs that they didn't have to take responsibility for. Compared with idiots who were stupid enough to use superpowers to rob banks or even electronics stores, these bigshots were the best at "recycling."
Robbing foreign drug dealers and gang leaders wasn't risky, and they could get rid of the executioners at any time. It wouldn't be hard to make money.
However, there were only a few people who had this kind of idea. Most people preferred to eat the US government's funding openly because it was a legal and clear rule.
From a certain big shot in the North American Command building a field hospital to reap long-term benefits, to a certain big shot in the Africa Command using public funds to travel, and his wife using public funds to do beauty shopping, to a certain big shot in the National Guard making up a paper army to eat without pay, the top brass of the United States were used to this way of eating.
Amanda's idea had only been tested a few times on a small scale and did not receive much support.
By the time Batman appeared, superpower crimes were common in Los Angeles and New York. Amanda's plan was finally recalled by many big shots.
This was no longer a matter of wealth, but a matter of national security.
The more the people at the bottom loved Batman, the more the middle and upper echelons feared the Dark Knight.
The people had to abide by the law in order to live a peaceful life, but these middle and high-level bosses had to use countless illegal and violent means to obtain benefits.
However, the Dark Knight talked about "justice", not law.
As long as they were caught committing a crime, Batman would "pronounce a sentence in court" and execute it immediately. If the punishment was light, the punishment would be a fracture, and if the punishment was heavy, the punishment would be paraplegia.
Even if Batman hadn't pissed off these big shots yet, they already felt a sense of crisis.
When it came to personal safety, they didn't need Batman to feel it, but they themselves.
Only when they were personally safe could America be safe, so this was a matter of national security that had to be taken seriously.
Thanks to this, Amanda's Super Team had developed rapidly in the past year.
So far, the Advanced Joint Research Team had already set up two semi-finished Super Teams and carried out many designated missions. They were in good condition.
That was why Flegg felt that Amanda had been too arrogant recently. He had to be using Batman as a stepping stone when he went to test out Batman.
I've even caught Batman. Do you know how powerful my Super Team is?! That was probably what Amanda was thinking.
To put it nicely, Amanda was strong-willed and tough.
To put it bluntly, he was ruthless and unscrupulous.
He targeted Batman because he had a weakness — he didn't kill people, and most of the time, he only targeted active crimes.
Secondly, Batman, who had been studied over and over again, was publicly acknowledged to be someone without superpowers. He had never displayed any superpowers.
Given Batman's style, he wouldn't deliberately hide his strength when he saved people, so he was just a normal human being.
This made Amanda believe that if it hadn't been for another mysterious person interfering in the New York explosion, the witch would have killed both Batman and Iron Man on the spot.
This was ample proof that Batman really wasn't that strong, and that her plan had been effective.
Thinking about the information that Flegg had revealed, Luke couldn't help but smile. Showing the enemy that he was weak was indeed a great weapon to lure the snake out of its hole.
These people all felt that Batman's "sense of justice" was silly, and that he wasn't strong enough to jump out and cause trouble.
His previous train of thought had been correct.
What did a spiritual leader need such strong combat power for? A Dark Knight with a bottom line and a "heart of justice" would never be feared by the bigshots, only by them.
Because Batman wasn't a lunatic, he abided by some rules and didn't overstep them. These bigshots would play the "a gentleman can be deceived by his methods."
That was also what the officials liked to play.
But who said that Batman couldn't take revenge? Luke said, "Fu, how many gangsters do the Advanced Joint Research Team have in New York?"
Fu said, "Master, there are thirty-five who sell information on superhumans to them, and eleven of them are directly controlled by the research team."
Luke said, "Make an operation plan. I want to destroy those eleven gangs in one night. As for the rest … we'll do it the next day. "
Fu said, "Yes, Master."
After saying that, Luke couldn't help but chuckle.
If operatives like Flegg were Amanda's hands and feet, then these gangs were Amanda's eyes.
Without her eyes, it would be very difficult for Amanda to gather intelligence in New York, especially from underground sources.
It was through this channel that Francis had found Wade when he was looking for a test subject.
These shady deals definitely couldn't be collected through official channels.
Gangsters with complicated members and frequent movements were undoubtedly the best scapegoats.
As long as they made enough money, the gangs selling weed wouldn't mind acting as human traffickers a few times.
Now, everyone in the world knew that New York was Batman's new home.
It was very reasonable for Batman, who had suffered a loss, to take revenge on the Advanced Joint Research Team by attacking gangsters.
After all, those guys were criminals! Batman beating up bad guys was a daily occurrence.
