Dr. Laura gives Tony an answer that makes him feel incredulous. Or rather, an answer he simply couldn't believe.

Because this answer reminded him of something very bad. For example, Ultron, who lost control, and then the financial turmoil that almost destroyed the entire western consortium. He wished things weren't the worst he had imagined, so he immediately opened his mouth and said this to Dr. Laura, somewhat reluctantly.

"Isn't that a normal aftermath? The original mission of the Wisdom Machine was to protect you. It's no surprise that they'll save you and attack the intruder Hydra. ”

However, ...... was plausible, but Dr. Laura was not convinced. So she came up with her own reasons. "But that day we were attacked by an electromagnetic pulse, and all the electronic tools inside the base were burned, even the intelligence machines. It makes sense that they can't function properly, let alone save me from those people. ”

Tony understands this too. even said that at this time, he already had a preliminary answer in his heart. But he couldn't let the answer be known to the others, so he could only say it in disguise.

"Maybe it's the reconnection mechanism of the smart machine that plays a role. You know, this kind of thing itself was developed on the basis of weapons. In order to prevent accidents, we have made many preparations when designing. ”

"Maybe, maybe, that will be the end of the story?"

Dr. Laura's sanity was somewhat affected. So when Tony said this, she was a little unsure of everything she remembered. Seeing Dr. Laura's face turn pale again, Tony immediately grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed her to the hospital bed.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Dr. Laura. Your body is not well yet, so let's take care of it first. I will come to see you often when I have time in the future. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Looking at the image of the president who was completely different from the one she saw on TV on weekdays, the thin woman suddenly burst into a bright smile. "I really didn't expect that Your Excellency the President would be such a gentle person in private."

"And what kind of person do you think I should be?" Raising an eyebrow, Tony's cynicism, suppressed by the heavy responsibility, jumped out at this moment.

"It should be a little more serious, it should be a little more majestic. I'm sorry, I know my thoughts may be a bit subjective, but I think someone like you should have a callous, self-serving feeling. ”

"You're right, if the president can't have such an attitude, then it is impossible to intimidate those young people who secretly harbor evil intentions. It's just that it's work, and I don't need to put work into my life. Okay, don't disturb your rest, you better have a good rest. ”

Tony stood up and walked outside. And just as he was about to leave the room, he suddenly turned his head to look at it.

Of course, all he could see was Dr. Laura curled up on the bed, looking helpless and weak. This appearance suddenly gave him a different feeling. But when he thought of the woman in his house who was waiting for him with a big belly, he smiled, touched his nose and walked away.

If it had been before, he might have been desperate to stalk this woman who made him feel special for a while. But for now, forget it. No matter what, he is already a family man. And compared to his personal feelings, the problems he faces are the most important.

Is there really a problem with the smart machine? If so, where would the cause of the problem be? Is it the worst-case scenario he thinks? Or was it something else he didn't know?

One conjecture after another was entrenched in his heart, and he couldn't calm down at all. And just as he drove his armor back the way he came. A sudden request for dialogue appeared in front of him.

It was a request that he didn't know where it came from, and in the face of such an unidentified call, Tony thought about it and connected him anyway. And with this connection, he immediately heard a voice that he will never forget.

"It's been a long time, Tony. I thought you wouldn't answer this newsletter from me? ”

"Steve! How dare you show me up? Where are you now? ”

Tightly through the voice, Steve could feel how angry Tony was right now. This was also expected by him, so he immediately joked at him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you where I am when I can't guarantee my safety. Otherwise, at your speed, I'm afraid I won't see the sun tomorrow. ”

"You bastard. You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, for I swear I'll never give you any more respite. Once you fall into my hands, I will leave you dead!" ”

Tony was mocked by this language for gritting his teeth, and for his performance. Steve's tone was more mocking.

"It's sad, Tony. I'm still thinking about our previous relationship, and I'm here to tell you an important piece of news in this way, but I didn't expect you to do this to me. ”

"Friendship, you still dare to submit a relationship with me."

Speaking of the past, Tony's tone suddenly became worse as if he had eaten a cannon battle.

"What have you painstakingly entered us for? Is it for our friendship? What did you think about when you hurt your peers, and did you think about our friendship? Friendship, you and I have friendship. Steve. Rogers, my dead father, and the innocents you killed, are all looking at you in another world? They're watching to see when the day of your retribution will come! ”

"Tony, I have my reasons!"

Accused of being like this by Tony, Steve immediately couldn't maintain the joking tone he had before. He lowered his voice, trying to make himself act more like that.

"I joined Hydra to change the world and think about the future of humanity as a whole. Tony, you should understand that humans are stupid creatures. In the past few hundred years, they have stuck to the boundaries they have drawn and devoted infinite energy to each other's infighting. War and chaos do not require our intervention, and human beings will naturally do these terrible things. They will kill each other for nothing more than some ridiculous reasons. In essence, there is no difference between us and you at all. If anything, you're just holding on to this ridiculous rule and status quo, and we're just trying to break everything and reinvent everything. Our goals are far more far-reaching than you short-sighted guys! So, what right do you have to accuse me? ”

"It's ridiculous, why don't you talk to the people you've killed and see how they'll react. Will you accept your ridiculous claims? ”

Tony sneered and retorted mercilessly. In the face of this rebuttal, Steve became calm again.

"I don't ask for forgiveness from those people, and when the day comes when everything I want and pursue becomes a reality, they will naturally understand what I have done. This is a revolution, a sacrifice destined for bloodshed. They should also feel honored to be able to contribute their part to the future of the entire human race. ”

"Glory, glory of shit. You, the executioner, can say this kind of thing openly, you really think you have the qualifications! ”

"What about you? Do you have the qualifications to question me? ”

Steve asked rhetorically, his tone beginning to add a little more meaning to righteous words.

"Don't say you don't know what the United States is doing. Since World War II, you have created so many wars in the world, destroying the families and hopes of innocent people. Now that the Middle East is still in the midst of chaos and war, do you dare to say that you don't have the slightest relationship? Stark, we're the same kind of people, and you're not in any position to point fingers at me on this issue. That will only make you appear shallow and ridiculous! ”

"You—" Tony gritted his teeth, but couldn't say anything about it after all. In order to maintain its former hegemonic position, the United States has indeed done a lot of dirty things. He is very clear about this point, having sold high-power arms to US troops stationed in the Middle East. Having seen the lives of ordinary civilians in war-torn areas of the Middle East, he understands how much harm they have done to those people.

Although all this has nothing to do with him once. But when he sat in the presidency, everything in the United States was already related to him. He can't shirk it, and he can't shirk it. So on this issue, he can only respond to Steve with silence.

This response made Steve feel like he had the upper hand. But he didn't mean to chase and fight. Because he knew very well that the purpose of finding him was not this, there was no need to waste words on this issue at all.

With just words, he couldn't change Tony's position. He knew this very well in his heart, so immediately, he changed his tone and said this to Tony.

"That's enough, Tony. It is impossible to reconcile my views with yours in this regard. I'm not interested in saying anything more to you on this issue. I'm looking for you for something else. An important piece of information! ”
