"You're back, Tony. Stark! What do you want to do this time? ”

Sitting behind a desk with a small pair of scissors cutting the cigarette butts of a cigar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 General Ross just stared at Tony and Bruce as they burst through the door, and asked them with interest.

"General Ross, don't you know what you've done yourself?" It was completely straight to the point, and as soon as Tony came in, he pressed on his desk and said to General Ross in a very oppressive manner. "You've built terrible war machines, machines that can change the rules of the battlefield right now. May I ask, what exactly are you trying to do? ”

"I thought I had already answered this question for you last time." Looking at Tony and Bruce with a smirk, General Rose stopped what he was doing. "I can repeat it to you again, and for the last time."

"I want the country to return to its former peace and prosperity, and I want all those who threaten the stability and unity of the country to be sanctioned and judged. I said, at all costs, right? That's what I should have said. ”

"That's why you built these war machines?" Slapping the table hard, Tony couldn't hold back the angry flames in his heart and yelled at him. "If it's to heal the country, it's to restore calm to the country. Then this kind of thing should never be used for your purposes. You're provoking war, General Ross. Don't tell me, you made this thing just to deal with that city. Do you dare to promise, dare to touch your conscience and say that you will not use them in foreign wars? ”

"I can't guarantee it. And, why should I guarantee it. ”

Tony's questioning made the look on General Rose's face turn cold, and he looked at Tony, who was furious at him, and suddenly laughed contemptuously.

"You know what, Tony. Stark. Your stupid appearance now strikes me ridiculous. Before all this, before the so-called superheroes wreaked havoc on this country, what was our country like, do you remember? ”

"If you don't remember, I remember it clearly. We are the most powerful country in the world, the hegemon above the world. Our fleets crisscross the oceans, and our military bases radiate to every corner of every country. And our people are able to walk with their heads held high above any country in the world. ”

"But what about now! How have we become now? ”

The smile suddenly retracted, replaced by an angry roar.

"Look at what our country looks like right now. We have lost our richest and most symbolic city. Our government and even our army have been criticized and dealt heavy blows again and again. The most terrible thing is that now even our land is about to be cut off from this country. Is this still the United States, is this still the prosperous and powerful United States? Tell me your answer, Stark! ”

General Ross's anger made him look like an angry lion. And Tony is not far behind, when it comes to the anger in his heart, he is not inferior to this patriot at all. So at this moment, he is almost exactly like him.

"It's all the result of your own doing, and this is my country, the country of those superheroes. Do you think we want to see this country become like this? We also want it to get better and stronger. But because of you, because of your stupidity and arrogance, this country has become what it is. ”

"If it weren't for the stupidity of you dropping the nuclear bomb, if it weren't for the fact that you've always been so wary of superhumans with power. If it weren't for the fact that you were infiltrated to the point that even the vice president was a spy planted by someone else, how could we have become like this? It's all your fault, Rose. It's all the fault of you arrogant politicians. And until now, you have not recognized your mistakes. Do you really want to take this country into the abyss from which it will never return? ”

"The abyss from which there will never be recovered?" Hearing this adjective, General Ross sneered again. He stared at Tony in front of him, as if he were looking at a theater actor who was desperately performing on stage. "Why, do you see yourself as some kind of savior? Tony. Stark, I tell you, you have never been heroes, and you are incapable of saving anyone. You want to save this country, then have you ever thought that this country does not need your salvation at all. ”

"The prosperity and strength of the country is simply not something you funny clowns can hold. What he needs is a strong army and strength, which we have before, and we will have them again. I don't know where you learned about the Titan Machine, but do you think you can stop us from using this weapon? I'm telling you, it's simply impossible. Because this is the will of this country. ”

"The country is reborn itself, he is purging himself of parasites and reattaching himself to the steps on which he once stood. You superheroes, mutants, and so-called gods are all stumbling blocks in front of him. And we, as soldiers of this country, exist only for the purpose of purging you and clearing a clear path for his rise and rebirth. You can't stop us, and if you really dare to stand on our side, no matter who you are, you'll only end up in pieces. Do you understand? Tony. Stark. ”

It wasn't the first time General Ross had said such a thing to Tony, and this time, instead of admonishment, he was full of threats and warnings. And hearing this, Tony was not only not intimidated by him, but even more angry.

"As I said, I'm not going to sit idly by. If you really want to provoke a war at all costs, then I will absolutely stop you. Whatever the hell you build, I swear I'll destroy them all. Let your damn ambition and hubris come to naught. ”

"Do you know what you're talking about? Stark? Slamming the table with all his might, General Ross stood up suddenly, "Do you know how many resources this country has spent on building these things? Do you know what it would mean if you ruined them? We've got the future of this country on these war machines, and now you're telling me you're going to ruin them! You're ruining the future of this country. ”

"Listen, Stark. If you dare to do so, then I promise, wherever you are and under whom's protection. I'm going to get you back, put you court-martialed, and shoot you in front of countless people. I'm not kidding you, I've always done what I say, do you see what I mean? ”

Hearing this, Tony suddenly fell silent. Naturally, he was silent not because of the threats of General Ross, but because of what he had said earlier. If the U.S. government really invests its resources, including the future, into these Titan machines, then destroying them is no longer as easy as it can be said.

Just like the several large fleets stationed in the Pacific and Atlantic, if they were to be destroyed in this way, it would be equivalent to a fatal blow to the United States. Because these fleets are not just weapons and equipment, they mean incalculable financial, political and even military losses. It is conceivable that once they disappear, then there will be huge uncontrollable changes in the pattern of the whole world.

It is equivalent to the United States' arm of controlling the world has been completely severed, and its position on the world mountain will also plummet. The ensuing financial crisis, political upheavals, and even international pressures may cause the country to collapse and become a miserable target for others to slaughter.

This is by no means alarmist or fanciful. After all, he was once a member of the arms world, and for these things, he only had to think about it, and Tony would soon be able to come up with a rough result. And it was this result that made him start to daunt.

He didn't want these damned politicians and crazy patriots to start a war in this world, nor could he watch the future and fortunes of this country collapse with the destruction of those huge machines. He is a superhero and a deep patriot. These two identities, which should complement each other, suddenly became opposed at this moment, and it was this opposition that made him fall into blind irritability and entanglement in the depths of his heart.

What am I going to do? What should I do? Breathing heavily, his eyes flustered, and Tony, who was full of these questions, felt like he was going crazy.

And this change in him was quickly noticed by Bruce next to him, so he immediately asked with concern.

"What's wrong with you, Tony?"

Shaking his hand, he gestured to Bruce that his current situation was not a problem. Tony opened his mouth again to the hard, stubborn, rock-like General Ross in front of him.

"Are you so reluctant to throw in the towel? General Ross, don't you understand? The world has changed, and doing something like you will only destroy the United States. Stop, only then can we save America. ”

"Stop? That's simply not possible. ”

Looking at Tony, who was in pain from the entanglement in front of him, General Rose suddenly laughed.

"It's like a round stone rolling down from the top of a mountain, and it's impossible to stop. Even if we die, he can't stop. This country will surely be reborn in our hands, and no one can stop us. If there is, Tony. Stark. Then they are the sinners of this country, the culprits who destroyed this country. And you, when the time comes, will be an accomplice, do you understand? ”

"It's time for you to make a choice. Choose your position when Tony. Stark!" (To be continued.) )
