Chapter 396: Captain Rogers' campaign speech
New York, Times Square, early this morning before dawn, there are workers here to set up a rostrum, as the sun rises, gradually countless people flow here, they are all here to participate in a speech, a speech about the election of the president, but the identity of the speaker is a little different.
"Oh, it's ridiculous that Captain America is running for president." In the building next to Times Square, a pot-bellied guy was sitting in the wide boss's chair, holding a glass of red wine and looking at the square below, "Does he want to use World War II cabaret performances to canvass for votes, this is quite a novel trick." ”
"At least he has Tony Stark and Harry Osborne behind him, and these two groups are well capitalized." Sitting next to him was a balding man, who seemed to be a little more cautious.
"Haha, Bass, you're too cautious, it's not that easy to run for president, it's not about fighting aliens, maybe he's good at using guns and shields, but debating with his opponents, I think he'll be speechless." The big fat man laughed, they were all members of the current president's staff, when the president heard that Captain Rogers was also running for president, he directly smashed the mobile phone that Kane gave him in front of Nick Fury, pushing himself and others, although Nick Fury kept promises, but he felt that Kane and they would definitely release this video at the most critical moment of the campaign.
But Mr. President is not useless, he immediately sent a staff to monitor Captain Rogers' campaign speech throughout the process, it is not so easy to run for president, if Captain Rogers messes up the campaign speeches in all states, then he will not have a chance to show that video, because even if it is revealed, it is impossible for him to be elected, you know, he is running for president in his own name, and the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, the two traditional big parties, will not give him too many opportunities to make mistakes.
"But his image is so good, look at the people below, it's far more than the average campaign speech attendees." The bald man of Bass stood up and looked over, and the whole Times Square was completely packed with spectators, and the two streets were even forced to be closed, making it difficult for even police motorcycles to pass through.
"Hmph, that's why you and I are here, carefully find the loopholes in his words, and use the media we have at our disposal to attack him, Captain America, as long as he says the wrong thing, we can even render him as a red skull." The fat man also put down his wine glass, a cold light appeared in his eyes, the two of them are not good at stubble, they have helped the current president clear political enemies and settle troubles through public opinion, and they are experts in manipulating public opinion.
Soon, the time came to more than eight o'clock in the morning, and a group of staff appeared around the rostrum, and began to check the readiness of all aspects of equipment, as for the security force, there were few people, and the underworld police station had a lot of people, but they were here to protect the audience watching the speech. Rogers, he's much better than the security guards and the police, and if anyone can hurt him, it's not something they can deal with.
Soon, the inspection was over, the staff left the rostrum one after another, and when the bell rang at nine o'clock, a figure that people often see on the TV appeared on the rostrum, but today, he did not wear the tight-fitting combat uniform painted with stars on weekdays, but walked to the microphone step by step in a suit and leather shoes.
Wow! Applause rang out as the audience welcomed the symbol of the American spirit, Steve Brown. Rogers' appearance.
Looking at the posture of the people below, Steve couldn't help but swallow and spit, and pulled the tie around his neck, "Sorry, guys, I rarely wear such a formal outfit, I don't have much experience, so the tie is a little tight." ”
Rumble!
There was a good-natured laugh from the audience, and Steve's superhuman image began to seem approachable.
"Okay, thank you, your laughter makes me feel a little more comfortable." Steve smiled and pressed down on his hand, making the scene quiet, "As we all know, I was a very thin boy at the beginning, and I was eliminated because of my physical disqualification when I needed soldiers so much in World War II. ”
"I still remember what he said to me when I asked him why he chose me to be the executor of the Super Soldier program."
"The strength of the strong is innate, so they lose their awe of power, and the weak understand the value of power, have love, know how to pity, follow their hearts, use their strength to do the right thing, and always be a good person, is the real strong."
"I'm honored to live up to his expectations and to be a good person from that moment on. What I want to say is that what really made me Captain America was not only the super soldier serum, but more importantly a kind and righteous heart, and I believe, you are all such people. ”
"Life is not so easy for each of us, but we have not succumbed to it and done the wrong thing, we are strong and alive, and we continue to fight for the happiness of our families, so in fact, your courage is as strong as mine. President John F. Kennedy once said that courage in life is often not so dramatic, but it is no less brilliantly mixed with triumph and pathos. For a man to do everything he must do—regardless of personal gain or loss, to leave obstacles, dangers, and pressures behind—this is the cornerstone of all human morality. ”
"Looking at the United States today, divided and divided, but the threat from outer space has not been completely lifted, if we have the courage to face the hardships of life, why can't we muster the courage to unite and move in a better direction?"
"To be honest, I didn't want to run for president in the first place because I didn't think I was the material, and I couldn't compromise like politicians. However, my friend Dead Talker convinced me: If you think that the current chaos in the United States is precarious, why don't you stand up and lead everyone out of this predicament? ”
"I don't know what to do as a president, but I think he's right, and since I know something is wrong, why can't I find a way to correct it, which also requires a lot of courage."
"Of course, this is very difficult, this is not against the evil enemy, it is difficult for me to do it alone, so I hope that more people can support me and help me, so that we can use our strength in one place and do something that we all think is right, and this is what I am campaigning for."
Wow! The thunderous applause sounded again, and it continued for a long time, and the faces of the two people in the building were not very good, these few words could have such a great effect, it seemed that the president's wish was falling through step by step.
"Hmph, a bunch of flashy rhetoric, he didn't say anything about political initiatives." The fat man said viciously, what Steve said just now seemed to him to be some false and empty useless words, and no one believed it for a long time.
"But he's Captain America, and that's enough to justify those words."
"Wait, I'll write an article to debunk him when I get back."
