Chapter 5: The Reason for the Absurd
(There will be a change later)
The meeting with Tony Stark took place in the Stark Industries building. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Tony has just flown back from Washington in his steel armor.
He looked a little tired. "Pepbo, I'm a little hungry, help me get some biscuits and bread. There was an undisguised sense of exertion in Tony's voice.
"Looks like you're tired. When Li Jie came to Tony's office, Tony was listlessly eating cookies and drinking milk.
"Yes, very hungry and very tired. Tony's voice was a little dry, I don't know if it was because his throat was too dry from eating cookies, or because he had said too much in one night.
"I went to Congress to try to convince those people to have a special hearing, and I had everything ready. Tony put the biscuit down as he spoke, and although he was hungry, he didn't have a very high appetite.
"I even said that I hope they can convene a new UN General Assembly and give me a chance to correct my mistakes. ”
Li Jie heard Tony's dry voice and knew that Tony was depressed right now. "But it didn't work out, did it?"
"Yes, it didn't work out. "Tony's vocal cords hurt a little because he gave too many notes tonight and was arguing with all sorts of arguments.
Little Pepper Pepp, who had fallen out with Tony before, stood aside and shook her head a little unbearably as she looked at Tony's haggard appearance.
"The people in Congress are too stubborn. I used to believe too much in my own control and too much confidence in the government. Tony took a sip of milk to moisten his throat.
"Now it turns out that I was wrong about all this, they don't want to share the benefits of the moon with anyone. Not even the slightest possibility. ”
Li Jie walked up to Tony's side and sat down across from him.
"I'm trying to avoid escalating the situation, but you know it's difficult. Especially after the start of the Russian offensive against Latvia. ”
"The situation of the war is beginning to change, and Russia's frontline positions have been defeated and retreated. Latvia began to gather troops in preparation for a counteroffensive against Russia. "The tide of battle is changing every moment, during the time that Lee Jie travels to Kamataki to talk to the Ancient One. The whole situation has begun to change again.
And Tony Stark seems to have obtained first-hand information, after all, he still has many friends in the military, and his connections are still very extensive.
"Russia already has five divisions surrounded, and it looks like Doom is preparing for a war of annihilation. Now the latest picture is that Russia has now lost almost 20,000 troops. ”
"And the few border cities that were originally occupied have been lost, and the fighting has begun to spread to the territory of Russia. Tony drank the rest of the milk from the cup in one gulp.
"Russia now has more than six hundred thousand troops in the European direction. Although there were more people than Doom's army, the equipment was too poor. Tony turned his head to Pepp as he spoke.
"Now Congress is asking me to reopen the arms manufacturing sector. Because Russia's weapons and equipment are likely to be unable to support such a war, Congress expects private companies to sell weapons to Russia on a commercial basis, but the money is probably paid by the other P5 countries. ”
"No! As you said, you never want to be an executioner. Peppard categorically rejected Congress's request.
Li Jie is also thinking about how this group of old men in Congress really don't care about continuing to make things bigger.
Or are they humiliated because they have found out that they have underestimated Latvia's behavior and have been slapped in the face, and they must get the field back?
"Yes, I categorically declined this request. They also sent messages like the Osborne Group. Tony's new news made Li Jie a little nervous, and he didn't know how Harry would choose to face such a thing.
"I underestimated the young chairman of the Osborne group, and Harry Osborne was quick to reject Congressional plans to support Russia's war effort. Hearing Tony's words, Li Jie's heart was relieved.
"In that case, I am afraid that the plans of the Congress will be thwarted. Li Jie was in a slightly better mood.
"Not necessarily, we are not the only arms groups in the United States. You must know that Hanmo Military Industry and a recently emerging arms company are staring at such orders. Although their weapons are not comparable to those of the Stark Group or the Osborne Group. Tony shook his head in denial.
"Now the Six Nations have reconvened a new meeting, and now the war has begun. It is impossible to stop without winning or losing, especially in the case of Russia. Tony was referring to Russia's strongman president, who was not a man willing to throw in the towel.
"I even heard rumors that the strongman prime minister had made threatening words. If the other P5 do not support Russia, he will win the war with nuclear weapons. Tony's face trembled a few times, and Peppard gently covered his mouth to keep himself from screaming.
"You know, he always did what he said he did in war. What Tony said Li Jie understood very well.
"Is he really going to press the nuclear button?" Li Jie was still a little skeptical.
"I don't know, but no one dares to take any chances, because everyone knows what it means when the nuclear button is turned on. Tony said.
"And I'm going to tell you even worse news. "Tony is ready to bring all sorts of bad news today.
"I have heard that the Security Council is holding urgent consultations. About the events of the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York. They may need to find someone to come out and carry the black pot. ”
Li Jie had actually guessed when he saw the toppled national flag in the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters. The political significance of this matter is too profound.
"I don't really like Nick Fury, but I don't think it's a good idea to replace him at this stage. However, the internal struggle in the Security Council is also very fierce. A lot of people are eyeing the position of the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. in their eyes. I don't know what will happen to S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future. ”
Li Jie's mood had already begun to sink when he heard the news. "I'm afraid that the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight was largely due to the capture of Hydra, but this plan failed due to various missteps. ”
Li Jie briefly told Tony about Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.
"So if Nick Fury really leaves S.H.I.E.L.D., then I'm afraid that S.H.I.E.L.D. will no longer be able to trust it in the future. That's Tony's conclusion.
This poor conclusion made Tony more and more irritated, and he tried to change the subject. "Do you have any more news about Doom?"
"Now I got the most suspicious news about the City of the Dead..... "Li Jie will also give Tony the news he has obtained.
"Wait, you mean the soul of the dead?" Tony seemed to think of something after listening to Li Jie's narration.
"I once heard Charlize, a scientist I funded, say that Doom, the monarch of Latvia, was his former classmate. Tonymo thought as he rubbed his beard.
"Doom had wanted to fund Charlize's research, but there was a ridiculous condition. Wants Charlize to resurrect his mother. ”
"If everything you say is true, Nightcrawler, then Doom's purpose is a bit absurd, but it can be explained. Tony's words made Li Jie's eyes light up.
On the other side of New York, Captain Rogers, who had just escorted the prisoner back to his cell, received a subpoena from Commander Hill.
"Captain, Director Nick needs to see you now, right now!" (To be continued.) )
