Chapter 704: Campaign Advantage Seeking foreign aid
After listening to Nick. Fury's detailed account of his own plans, Tony. Stark's biggest impression is absurdity. The main reason why he thinks so is that the most important part of this plan is to make him the new president of www.biquge.info the United States.
To be honest, Tony has always had a high opinion of himself, whether it's a businessman, a playboy or a superhero, he thinks he's more than capable of doing it. But, the president? He didn't even think about it. Or rather, he simply didn't think he could play such a role.
In his opinion, even the guy in a wheelchair in front of him is more suitable than himself. So he questioned him almost immediately.
"Why me? I don't think I'm going to be the right president. Even if you go up, it's better than me. When it comes to political tactics, I don't think I'm more skilled than you. And, if you're worried about the election, it's not necessary. I can use my own power to create enough public opinion for you, the second wheelchair president of the United States, this gimmick is enough for you to cheat enough votes. β
It's a bit sarcastic, but it's also telling the truth. Tony's question can be said to cut to the point. But for this kind of doubt in him, Nick. Fury has a good explanation.
"Why you, I've thought about it too. But after I thought about it, I realized that this position really has to be yours. β
"First of all, it's because of the complexity that we're in right now. If America were the same as it used to be, you would be willing to be my funder to build the momentum for me and get votes. I will definitely welcome it. But now, there is no point in doing so. β
"Do you think that after you publish the information I provided, our government elections will still go ahead? You must know that whether it is a Republican Party or a Democratic Party, at least ordinary people are caught in it. And all of them are important figures in those parties. In other words, as soon as the scandal in your hands is revealed, the two parties will immediately be placed on a blacklist of untrustworthy parties. In the present situation of national revolt, they have almost no longer any possibility of being in power. In other words, the electoral system on which we rely is a waste of life. β
"The people are no longer going to pick and choose the other guy from the circle of candidates we have drawn into, as they did before. They will even vote for themselves, or someone close to them. Can you imagine what a huge project would be for an election with more than 100 million single-digit votes alone? Even when our country is at its richest and stronger, it may not be able to solve this kind of problem, let alone now. β
"I still don't understand, why me?" After listening to so many things, Tony, who felt that he had grasped the point, but couldn't think clearly, waved his hand a little irritably, and looked at Nick impatiently. Fury said. "Just tell me why, I don't want to hear that extra nonsense!"
"You impatience needs to be fixed, Tony!" Sigh, Nick. Fury replied honestly. "There are two real reasons."
"First, your fame. At a time when our government and party are utterly discredited by their people, we think that if we are to choose a new national leader, we must get the nod of the majority of the public. And to whom will they nod to? Maybe it's a business tycoon, maybe it's a familiar politician, maybe even a household name. However, no matter who it is, it must have this loud enough fame to do it. And you, Tony. Your fame is definitely one of the loudest in it. β
"You're a business tycoon, and your business is almost the pride of America. And you're also a playboy, with your news in Time magazine and lace tabloids. On top of that, you're still a superhero. A true hero who once protected them, and also exposed the faΓ§ade of the government. Together, these conditions are enough to make you have the loudest fame and win the recognition of the most people. And people like me are different, if I stand up. Maybe those people are like, hey, where did this one-eyed dragon come from, is he here for a show? β
A little self-deprecation, Nick. Fury continued.
"Second, it's your identity. Tony. Stark, such an identity is enough for us to trust, and enough to ease a lot of relationships. If nothing else, just talking about your friendship with that person is enough to solve one of the most serious problems of the moment - the problem of revenge from mutants. β
"Moreover, there is another value in this identity of yours, which is that it can make us firmly believe in you. At this time, at a time when the whole of America has become a masquerade ball, to be honest, almost no one would believe it. Because I'm not sure if that person could be a pawn planted by Hydra. But, Tony! As Howard's son, I believe you can never be a Hydra man, and just because Howard was assassinated by Hydra's men, you can't possibly join them. β
"Hydra has become the most evil force in this country, in the world. Not in their strength, but in their viciousness and cunning. As you can see, its use of intrigue has brought the country to the brink of collapse. And that's just one of its heads. So, if we want to save this country, we have to treat an evil organization as a great enemy. And to deal with such a cunning, intriguing organization, we have to trust each other. This is also an important factor in reshaping the functional organs of the state in the future, and we must not be eroded to such a point by the hydra as we do today. β
When his father's death was mentioned, Tony was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
The strongest castles were the first to be breached from within. Tony understands this very well, and even if he doesn't understand it, the facts that happen in front of him can make him understand the truth of this sentence. A huge country, almost the most powerful country in the world, has become what it is today under the encroachment of such a group of guys. This situation is enough to make anyone tremble and take it as a warning.
So, for Nick. Fury's statement, he also agrees. Keeping new government officials clean will be an important step in preventing and dealing with Hydra. And for such a move to take place, it is important that one of them becomes the leader of the country.
In this way, it seems that he has become a rightful existence. Moreover, if the new government is targeting Hydra as its main hostile target, he has no reason to refuse, whether it is public or private. But, at the end of the day, he's still a little less confident.
"I understand what you're saying, but I'm not really sure I'm going to be elected for this role. Even if I have the information you provided, even if my identity can play a role. But that doesn't seem to guarantee that I will be elected as the new president. I always feel that you owe something to this plan! β
If you can think about it this way, then it is almost already saying that Tony accepted Nick. Fury's plan. And to hear him say that, whether it's Nick. Both Fury and Coulson were overjoyed.
So, when faced with this doubt. Coulson said immediately.
"We've thought about it, and we have an idea of how to solve it."
"Maybe, I mean maybe, you should go and ask your good friend for some necessary help!"
"My good friend?" Hearing this word, Tony was puzzled for a moment, and then locked his eyebrows deeply and looked at Coulson, who said this. "You mean Zhou Yi?"
"Yes, that's the gentleman. Or, let's be clear. It is His Majesty the Divine Spirit of this day. β
Nodding his head very directly, Coulson began to explain in a more direct way.
"All of the options we've just mentioned give you at most half the chance of getting a new election. After all, our enemies can't just watch you, a well-known opponent, occupy the chessboard they've so hard to lay. Whether it's to interfere with you in a bad way, or to put forward a new candidate to compete, it's a very possibility. And, with their sheer size, the success rate is even higher than ours. β
"At this time, we have to admit that the power in our hands is already at a disadvantage. Therefore, we must have a strong external force to support it. And when it comes to power and power, what could be more suitable in this world than His Majesty the Gods? β
"As long as you can get the support of His Majesty, then you can get the support of all the believers who believe in Him. You know, after he showed the power of the gods twice, more and more followers in this country, and even in the whole world, began to become his supporters. As things stand, this is an absolutely huge number. β
"And, with his support. You'll have the support of most of the army. Because as he put an end to this ridiculous war, more and more people have come to believe that he is the god who represents war and victory. There are hardly any soldiers who dare to turn their guns on this being anymore, especially ours. As the freed prisoners of war began to publicize his prowess, our troops had almost completely come to believe in his existence. So, from that point of view, it's very important to have his support. Because we can hold on to the most critical forces. β
And in the end, with his support, a big problem can be solved. The trouble from the mutants, anyway, our relationship with the mutants is already getting more and more stiff. Now we don't have any energy and no ability to deal with the revenge of the mutants. In that case, then we have only one choice. That is to seek peace, and through him to seek peace, let us restore the harmonious relationship. That's the real point. I believe that now in the whole of the United States, I'm afraid no one will want to have any more conflicts with mutants, don't you say! β
Silence, still silence. And it wasn't until a long time later that Tony made up his mind.
"I know what to do!" (To be continued.) )
