Chapter 789 Security Protocol Revenge New Election
The second time I talked about cooperation with the captain, and this time, Tony's identity has changed dramatically. If he had only talked about cooperation as a teammate or a special patriot before, then now, he is talking about this as the president. This naturally made the captain feel pressure.
After all, there are only a few superheroes who can ignore secular authority, and the captain is obviously not among the few. Therefore, when Tony made a clear appearance and talked to him about the cooperation and alliance again, he had to seriously consider what kind of answer he should give him.
He didn't want to have a relationship with Tony too much. Whether as a friend or a tough president, he didn't want to do things at that point. So he could only say to Tony in a very tactful way.
"Tony, I think we all have this intention about cooperation, but to be honest, we still can't accept your previous thoughts."
"Can't accept that kind of thought? What kind of thought?" Tony clasped his lips and said to the captain with an impatient look on his face. "Before this, you think I can't control all this and make the Avengers lose their so-called correctness. So now, I'm already the president, and I can turn the Avengers into an organization that belongs directly to me. Even so, are you unwilling to accept it?"
"Tony, even you will make mistakes. You have to admit this." Frowning, the captain still expressed his objection. "It is good to let the Avengers maintain their independence. We can really fight crime, and even monitor the government in one aspect, so that it is no longer replaced by others in that way as before. This is a mutually beneficial good thing, and if you think deeply enough, you should be able to see this clearly."
"Yes, I admit, you always have your reasons. But Captain, have you ever thought about it? How much trouble will it cause to this society if you are called freedom?"
"I think no one has a better say than me. Germany, New York, and there are small cities in various places. Every time I send out the Avengers, I have to fill the bills in Shanghai. Do you know how much money I spent on you? Tell you, forty billion US dollars, it is only compensation for those damages after the battle and financial compensation. As for casualties, no matter how much money you have, do you think it can give useful comfort to families who have lost their relatives and friends?"
"This is an expensive game, and now I can no longer play with you. I don't want to use money to solve the problems you have committed. So, as the president, I have to submit your final notice to you."
Speaking of this, Tony took out a document from under his desk and threw it in front of the captain.
"Cooperate and accept my previous conditions. Or you can choose to refuse. But at the cost, you must join the alliance against Hydra and sign a special security agreement with the United States."
"Security Agreement, what security agreement?"
Without time to look at the agreement content in his hand, the captain directly held the document and asked Tony directly. Looking at his performance, Tony slowly placed a cigar on it before explaining.
"The so-called security agreement is actually something adapted from the Superhero Registration Act left by the government. The conditions are no longer as harsh as before, but one thing is required to comply with. If you choose to give up cooperation, then you must accept the requirements of the agreement. According to the agreement, the Avengers' actions must be reported in advance. The timing of dispatch, the purpose of dispatch, and even whether the dispatch is permitted must be approved by the government department. If you dispatch without the consent of the government, then everything you cause will be considered a crime. Can you understand if I explain this way?"
"Tony, you can't do that!"
After listening to the rough, the captain immediately shouted at Tony. Obviously, he was completely unacceptable to the content of this agreement. Faced with Tony with a tough attitude, he could only hope to change his mind by making a decision.
"Did you forget? The Superhero Registration Act was originally a conspiracy of Hydra. If you continue this, isn't it equivalent to letting Hydra's conspiracy succeed?"
"Conspiracy? Is this what you think?" After hearing the captain's reason for refuting, Tony's eyes shrouded in smoke immediately showed a little disdain. " Should I say you are naive or you are stupid? Steve, your reason for opposing me simply for the sake of opposition really makes me laugh."
"Why do you think Hydra wants to propose this kind of solution? Yes, they want to get real information from superheroes to achieve the meaning of threatening to control them. But beyond that, they are more about stability. When the country is controlled by them, they will inevitably think about how to maintain it in a stable and easy-to-control state. The registration bill is the most effective way they agree with."
"You can be hostile to Hydra guys, but you can't underestimate them. There are inevitable reasons why they can cause such great upheavals in the world and even almost subvert the world. In terms of brains and strength, they are not bad at all. Therefore, this plan is not explained by just a conspiracy."
"What the hell do you mean, Tony."
The captain, who felt that things were becoming more and more than he imagined, began to grow inexplicably irritable in his heart, and this immediately made his tone worse. Tony just explained with a smile.
"Just like those criminals, the so-called superheroes are actually destroyers. Even if their original intention is not to destroy, they will inevitably cause such facts in the process of carrying out the so-called just act. Their powerful power itself is an unstable factor, like a bomb. Therefore, controlling them and monitoring them is the most stable way to maintain public security in this country."
"So you plan to use this method to control us, put it under your nose, and carry out so-called surveillance?"
"Isn't this a matter of course? Now, I am the president of this country, and shouldn't it be normal for me to make such a choice in order to maintain stability in this country?"
"This is not normal at all!" He stood up suddenly as he slapped the table, and the captain's emotions finally became rioted. "What made you have such dangerous thoughts? Have you forgotten that you were also a superhero? Don't you know how this behavior will make your former teammates react? You are provoking them and adding fuel to the fire in the country!"
"Haha, ridiculous." Looking at the captain who was almost angry, Tony's tone was unexpectedly calm. "Do you think this idea is dangerous? But do you know that when I was sitting in this position, I realized that the so-called superheroes are also dangerous. You can ask, how many people in the hands of people like us are not stained with the blood of innocent people."
"If it were before, I could ignore these innocent people who were victimized by me because I was for justice, but now, when I am the president of this country and the defender of all people, I can never ignore such things anymore. For the sake of the United States, superheroes must be monitored. I repeat, and if you are unwilling to accept management, then you must accept the agreement. This is nothing that will change."
Tony's answer made the captain realize his powerlessness, not because of Tony's attitude, but because he had already understood his ideas at this moment. He knew why Tony made such a decision, and he also knew that Tony did nothing wrong in this matter. His position forced him to make such a decision, after all, he is the president and the protector of hundreds of millions of people in this country.
So, after a long silence, he finally nodded and said.
"I understand, I will discuss this with everyone."
"What is your reply?"
"I will accept your agreement, but I cannot guarantee that everyone else will accept it. You should know that I cannot force them."
"Very good, just accept it. As for others, I will find other ways to solve this problem."
Tony's answer made the captain feel breathing suffocated, but soon, he suppressed the uncomfortable feeling, then stood up and said to Tony.
"If you have nothing else, I'll take it off first."
"Wait a minute, Captain. I have another thing to discuss with you."
Stopped the captain's movements, Tony put down the cigar in his hand and said to him.
"Now Bruce is working for me, so is Spider. So, I'm very worried about the manpower problem on your hands. After all, there are quite a few opponents in Cerberusli, and you can't rule out that they will have more manpower. So, you need to think of some ways to gather some new people to join."
"I know, I'll find a way."
"No, captain. I mean, if you don't have any suitable candidates, I can introduce you to a few."
It seems that he intends to re-establish a good relationship with the captain in this way. Tony seems very enthusiastic about this matter. However, the captain has his own ideas about this.
