Chapter 705: Tragic Trade-offs Three conditions
"We can hardly imagine that our government has become like this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info It will be the biggest scandal since the founding of the American Union. ā
"At present, the president has resigned because he has been blamed by more than half of the people. Although our president, who has been in office for less than a year, is very unhappy with this fact, his dissatisfaction is of no use. Because he is also facing charges of treason and ******. ā
"The biggest scandal of all time, more than half of government bureaucrats are accused of being linked to extremist ****** terrorist groups. The future of America was once in the hands of these people, and this reality is worth pondering! ā
"Iron Man has saved the future of the Federation, and he will judge those who are traitors with the powers given to him by the citizens. We need to introspect and think about whether we still need such a government to rule us. Whether it will continue as usual, let the bureaucrats who are behind the scenes continue to control the country's affairs, or will they start a revolution and find a new future for the United States. ā
Huge headlines, heated rhetoric, and crazy news reports have filled almost every corner of the United States, and the entire world. Looking at the news that was still being broadcast in front of him, Zhou Yi smiled and said to his old friend.
"It seems like you're having a lot of ambition this time. Why, when you get tired of being a hero, want to try playing a new role? ā
"You know I've never had this hobby!" Putting down the teacup in his hand, Tony glanced at his old friend and said helplessly. "You should know what the country has become now. It's getting to the point where someone has to step in to defend it. However, this kind of person is not easy to find, especially if many people have evil intentions. So, I had to go on my own. ā
"You know, it's going to be a very hard job. Tony, seriously, I don't want to see you end up with this burden. It's not a good thing, and to put it bluntly, it's likely to crush you. ā
As a friend, Zhou Yi gave him such an admonition. But Tony shook his head and responded.
"Don't worry about it for me, there's no need to worry about it. I believe in my ability, but it's just a mess, and I believe I can still clean it up. In contrast, I'm more curious about what you're doing now. ā
You, who have become a god, intend to continue in this state of affairs? Or do you want to create your own new mythological system in this modern society, just like the previous myths? Let me know what you think, and maybe I can help you a little. ā
"Give me some help?" Hearing this, Zhou Yi immediately glanced at Tony playfully.
With all that he had right now, he didn't think there was anything that needed Tony's help. In terms of strength, his strength is enough to make the whole world intimidated, and no country has the courage to do anything to him now.
In terms of power, he is definitely one of the biggest forces behind this world, who dominates mutants and dark races. Even cities that are on the bright side are constantly expanding and growing. The current chaotic situation in the United States has not had any negative impact on the city. On the contrary, it has become a special signboard that attracts those who want to be protected by the gods to keep pouring into this place of gods.
Most of them are decent people, the so-called social elite. It can be said that when this country is facing difficulties, the speed of their self-preservation is even far greater than the speed of the collapse of this country.
Of course, although some looked down on these guys, Zhou Yi had to admit that their influx had expanded the power of Huiyao City in disguise. The city is now on par with the New York City of yesteryear, and even when the next expansion is completed, it will become one of the most unique and powerful cities in the world.
With so many resources in hand, Zhou Yi really didn't feel that he needed any help from others. And he believed that Tony should know this too, so he immediately understood that this was his old friend who was caring about him?
This made him laugh right away, and he said to Tony.
"Okay, if you want to talk to me about something, just say it. While I can still call the shots, or wait for Ada to return, I don't think it will be as easy as it is now to sign your contract. ā
"Please, you're a god. Why is it still the same as before, being fiddled around by that fierce woman. It's good to take some majesty, you don't look like the one that the believers worship. ā
patting his forehead, Tony said to Zhou Yi in a completely unbearable tone. As for the answer to this topic, Zhou Yi said so.
"Before becoming gods, she and I were first and foremost men and women. So as long as it doesn't matter a matter of principle, it's right for me to make concessions. Don't talk about me, aren't you like that, how are you and Pepe doing now? ā
"I'm sorry, we broke up." Shaking his head, Tony replied lightly. And this immediately made Zhou Yi's face have a surprised expression. He straightened his face and said apologetically to Tony.
"Sorry, man. I don't know about it, you know, I've been out of this planet for over a year. So, if you can, can you tell me what's going on? If it's just a few minor conflicts, I think I can help you mediate them. ā
"Contradictions? I'm afraid it's more serious than any contradiction, man! ā
Although he didn't want to mention this issue, Tony still said the original to Zhou Yi.
"Pepe has been having trouble with me since the last time it was over in New York. She didn't want me to continue my dangerous job and began to ask me to abandon him and go back to my old life. But how could I do that! For me, this identity of Iron Man has become the most integral part of my life. He is who I am, and I am who he is. Abandoning him is abandoning myself and denying Tony. Stark is the same as this person. How could I possibly do such a thing. ā
Seeing Tony can't help but grab his hair, Zhou Yi could only sigh and pat him on the shoulder.
"Don't be too upset, man. Sometimes you have to make trade-offs, even if those are a little too hard. But you came over too, didn't you? ā
"I envy you, you bastard. can be so simply detached, without nostalgia at all. ā
"That's because I don't have anything left to be nostalgic about. You should also know what my situation was like at the time. Rather than being nostalgic for something that is not worth nostalgia for. Then I might as well put my energy into the people around me. At the very least, I can guarantee my own happiness and theirs. ā
"You're right, maybe that's the choice of a smart person."
patted his face, and quietly ended the topic while making himself sober. Tony began to discuss the matter with Zhou Yi again.
"Well, let's be honest and honest. Zhou Yi, I need your help, I need it very much. ā
"Huh?" Putting down his teacup, Zhou Yi began to straighten his face and listen to him. Seeing his movements, Tony immediately continued.
"I need you to stand in line with me in your capacity and support my next actions. Whether it's on trial or in a new presidential election, I need your support. Of course, this is not gratuitous. I can promise you a few things in advance. ā
"First, the problem of mutants. If I'm elected president, I'll stop all activities against mutants. They can enjoy the same treatment as all Americans, including all state benefits, and a level playing field for employment and schooling. ā
"Second, we can join forces to fight the damn Hydra. You should know where the people who are targeting you are coming from, and you should be angry at all their actions. To tell you the truth, so do I. As long as I can come to power, I can guarantee that an organization will be established in the whole United States, and even in the whole world, with the purpose of fighting against the elimination of Hydra, and as long as I am in the White House for one day, this organization will run for one day, and I will never stop until Hydra is solved. ā
"And thirdly, if I come to power, I can impose some political compromise on your city. You have complete autonomy in controlling your city. Whether it's the appointment of police, officials, or even mayors, we don't interfere. And it will give you the name of the country and the law. All you need to do is pay lip service to the jurisdiction of the U.S. government. And not only the extent of your present city, but also the land of the neighboring states near the coastline, we can divide it for you to develop as you please. Even if you make this a special zone where only mutants are allowed to live, we won't interfere in any way. ā
"How about it, these are these three conditions, are you willing to agree to me?"
The things that Tony brought up are not unrich, especially the third point, which is simply a bit of land reparation. From here, Zhou Yi can see the current embarrassment of the United States and their eagerness. If he is willing to delay a little longer, maybe he can strive for more favorable conditions. However, Zhou Yi did not have this idea.
It's just a game on a small planet, and there's really no need for him to spend money on such resources. That doesn't make sense, and there's no need. In contrast, he cares more about the first two conditions. One is his original intention, and the other can bring him a little fun. These two points alone were enough to make him nod. As for the third point, it can be said that it is an incidental giveaway. It's just that this giveaway is a little too luxurious.
So, there is not much hesitation, and there is no need to discuss it with anyone else. Zhou Yi nodded immediately and replied with a smile.
"Yes, I accept your conditions."
"Well, happy cooperation, man!"
With a sigh of relief, Tony squeezed Zhou Yi's hand hard. For him, this is already the best start. And then he needs to face the toughest challenge. (To be continued.) )
