Chapter 547: Power is intoxicating
"You're useless, Tony. ”
Peggy Carter's words made Tony Stark feel quite uncomfortable after listening to it. Speaking of which, I was involved in the whole process, but... Why is it that things are almost over, and I have no sense of existence all this time?!
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes suddenly came over with the phone and said to everyone, "I just finished talking to the vice president on the phone, and he has confirmed that Air Force One is safe, except for a few Secret Service agents who died, the president and other personnel are all fine, and they are ready to make a forced landing at the nearest airport." ”
And now the vice president, who has just hung up Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, is now talking to Ross in a secret room. Ever since it started, he's been restless. After all, this gamble is too big, success is the peak of power, and defeat is a prisoner of the ranks. These two extreme endings have kept him in a state of walking on thin ice.
How many times has he regretted it, why should he get involved in such a thing? Although he now has a nickname in front of his name as president, he is not considered the second-in-command of the country. But he is also a high-powered and successful person, why should he accompany a group of crazy people to gamble his life? Is he worried about his daughter? Or can't resist the temptation of power?
But since he has already boarded the ship, he can't get off until he goes ashore or sails. Unexpectedly, Rose actually sent a lifeboat over, and now that the matter is over, the big rock hanging in his heart finally landed, although not in the way he hoped.
"Why do you have such an expression?" Rose was now sitting on his seat, smoking a cigar in his mouth, swallowing clouds, and seeing the vice president sitting in front of him, with a sad face, he couldn't help but tease, "Could it be that you regret your choice?"
"How is that possible? I don't regret it. Without even thinking about it, the Vice President replied that he did not dare to offend Ross at all, because he could pull him ashore and kick him into the sea again.
"I hope that's what you mean. Ross put the cigar in front of the ashtray and flicked the ash, and said to the vice president with a gloomy face, "The big thing you did should have been a straight line to the goal, of course, I have no objection to releasing some smoke bombs in the process to confuse everyone's attention, such as shaping the terrorist Mandarin, after all, after such a big incident, it is most ideal to let him be responsible." ”
"But!" Rose's face changed, "that partner of yours, Aldridge Killian, is so good at making a difference, provoking too many people who should have been out of plan. Attacking two Avengers at the same time, but failing to kill them, is so that more and more Avengers are involved in the matter. ”
"Obviously you have captured Tony Stark, but you didn't kill him immediately, and you are so indecisive that in the end, Tony Stark is rescued by Peggy Carter and Captain America, and from that time on, your defeat is already doomed. ”
The vice president closed his eyes and nodded, knowing that Ross was right. The partner this time is really terrible, his goals are very ambitious, and the plan is very feasible. But his methods of operation are really too bad, and a matter with a clear goal and a simple plan is being made more and more complicated. The four Avengers, who should have stayed out of the matter, all entered the hostile camp at once. It was supposed to be a 5v5 game, but it turned out to be 4v10 after a while!
"So, not only did I not get in your way, but I did save your life. Ross snuffed out his cigar in the ashtray and looked up at the vice president.
"Thank you, that's true. "The Vice President has now figured out that if he hadn't made the right choice as Ross had suggested after receiving that phone call, and had still acted according to Ross's advice, he would have been escorted away by the gendarmes.
"Now you have nothing to worry about. Rose got up from his seat and straightened his clothes as if he was about to leave, "Now that Killian is dead, and everything you have done is unknown with his death, you will be able to continue to exercise the power of the vice president, and even if there are any rumors that are unfavorable to you in the future, they can only be called boring falsehoods." ”
The vice president, who got up to see him off, secretly glanced at Ross, and first said that others don't know my secret, but don't you know it clearly?
But since something happened, you have to bear the corresponding consequences, and now this ending is very good. As for the matter of killing people and killing people, it had never appeared in his heart from the beginning, and he didn't believe that Rose would dare to come to his home alone to talk about such a big thing, and he would not leave a back hand that could put him to death.
"By the way, Mr. Vice President. Rose, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and extended a hand to the vice president, "Happy cooperation, for this time, but also for future cooperation." ”
The vice president looked at the hand, then shook it and said, "I'm sure it's going to be pleasant." But he still hasn't said half a sentence, and even if there is any unhappiness in the future, it can only be his own unhappiness.
However, it is indeed a very good choice to cooperate with Ross or the people behind Soros now. Not only is the other party holding their own lives now, just looking at what they did in this matter, it seems that they have done nothing, but they have subtly leveraged it at the most critical point, and finally they have become the biggest winner. This courage, this strength, is much stronger than that unknown Killian.
Maybe... In the future cooperation, if I can perform well and protect their interests, it is not impossible that one day I can remove the annoying adverb in front of my vice president by means of legitimate and legal means.
Rose left the vice president's house and left in his car. Ever since he got into the car, he had been sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and not saying a word, still reveling in the feeling he had just felt.
In the first half of his life, he thought that being able to become a general of the United States was already the pinnacle of his life, and as long as he made some more achievements, he would go down in history. But at that time, the vice president was still an adult in his eyes, and he had to salute when he saw him.
But now, after he has come out of the trough and risen again, the vice president has to be respectful in front of him, and he is called back and forth.
Power, and a sense of accomplishment, it's a real intoxicating taste.
But... Rose's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes lit up. How strong are those two women who have single-handedly helped themselves to this position, and how strong is their company?"
