Probably out of respect for the Commander Position Campaign, Tony Stark, who had been hiding in the room and tinkering with the "new toy", was also present. One of the most important members of the Avengers, Iron Man Ben respects the new appearance on the rostrum, behind the American team. The poor little spider was "driven" back to the stage. Stark also pulls Banner out of Skye's "lab" when he was invited to study the "mystery of the Inhumans", which is Natasha's reagent. At that time, it frightened a few people who were engaged in "secret activities".

As a result, except for Betty, who remained in Skye's room, all the three organizers, and even the members of the forces to which the roundtable delegates belonged, were all present at the meeting.

Banner didn't quite understand Stark's strong urging to attend the meeting. After all, there is no advantage in a large number of people, and in the commander's vote, even if there are thousands of representatives of the same force, it will only be regarded as one vote. It's just that when he asked the question, the result he got made him cry and laugh.

"We're going to give the guys a shot." That's what Stark said.

This certainly won't be the real reason. But although Banner could see a hint of concern in Stark's expression, he didn't ask. That's where his cleverness comes in - unlike his intense curiosity about scientific research, Banner doesn't touch many things he shouldn't know.

Next, Banner greeted his teammates who hadn't seen each other for dozens of hours, then watched the three popular candidates for commander go toe-to-toe, and watched several members of the Round Table apologize to Jean Grey and Theron, the two representatives of freedom and peace, for something that had happened in the morning. And then......

Then the time is up, and the meeting begins.

"Good afternoon, everybody. I am -- you all know who I am. Some say I'm a tyrant, some think I'm a butcher, but I know very well who I am. My name is Victorom. Known as 'Doctor Doom', he is a part of Latvia and a part of the Earth. Over here...... I don't want to say how good my personal strength, wisdom and overall quality are, but I believe that I am the best choice for you. ”

"Thank you very much Dr. Doom for your presentation, it was very profound. His strong self-confidence has infected us and made us even more optimistic about the prospects of the coming war. Right now. If there's anything you want to know from Dr. Doom, you can press the button on the desktop screen......"

This time, it was the American team that hosted it. He did not greet everyone politely, but after saying hello with a "Good_afternoon," he went directly to the theme of the afternoon meeting -- the election of commanders.

The process of campaigning is simple. Candidates are required to give a presentation, just as they have done before when organizations competed for seats at the Roundtable. The only difference is that after their presentations, the candidates also need to go through a question-and-ask session from the audience.

In the order in which the list of candidates was announced in the morning, it was Dr. Doom who spoke first. And after his extremely confident speech, the first question session began.

Generally speaking, in the question session of the campaign. There will be voters who ask candidates questions such as "what would you do with the current situation in terms of XX if you were offered the position of OO" or "how did you do before and what changes would you do now?"

But in the case of Doctor Doom, the situation is different. Those who were qualified to ask questions did not mention the second type of question at all, and all of them were the first. As a result, what started as a question-and-answer session turned into another lecture by Dr. Doom about his vision and strength.

This is the effect of influence, and it is also the effect of PR. It's no wonder that Dr. Doom didn't say much of the substance in his official speech. Instead, he blindly talks about his self-confidence and seriousness, and his feelings put all the dry goods behind. It's obvious. Through this "another speech", the impact of Doctor Doom on people's hearts was even more profound.

Of course, not everyone will cooperate with Dr. Doom in advertising and canvassing for votes. For example, there is such a person on the rostrum. The others, either out of regard to their identity or for reasons of etiquette, did not click the button to ask questions, but not Tony Stark.

"There's one thing I want to know."

I don't know if there is a major breakthrough in the design of new toys. The smile on Iron Man's face was quite bright. It's just that what he says isn't so nice - at least for Dr. Doom, it's not a good thing to say at all.

"If you were the commander, would you summon the Fantastic Four's Thunderbolt back?"

Tony Stark's voice amplified by the microphone fell, and several inhalations rang out from the audience.

It's not "what do you think of Thunderbolt being banished in Fantastic Four". It's not "what would you do to the Fantastic Four", but it was directly asked if Thunderbolt would be summoned. This is a tough question, especially for Dr. Doom.

If it was Professor X or Team America who faced this question, it would be normal for both of them to answer "yes". Although this is inconsistent with the ban and has been opened in the first place, Team America and Professor X are just like that, they are known for their greatness and tolerance. In addition, the rules are set by people, and they are not impossible to change.

Doctor Doom couldn't.

Everyone at the scene knew that the thunderbolt had been driven out of his scheme. If he agrees to let Thunderbolt come back now, it will be a confession. Even if someone doesn't think it's a confession, a "hypocritical" assessment won't go away - everyone knows that Dr. Doom is not a person like Team America or Professor X. Such a situation may not necessarily have any impact on the outcome of the election, but the loss of prestige is certain.

Of course, Doctor Doom can also insist that in order to avoid similar bad incidents again, he must follow the rules and set an example. But...... After all, Thunderbolt is very powerful, especially in terms of pure destructive power - it should be able to rank in the top 50 or even 20 out of more than 1,000 people on the scene. In the face of the great enemy, shouldn't the unity of all forces be a priority?

As a result, Dr. Doom did not choose option A or option B, but after staring at Tony Stark for a long time while thinking, he gave what seemed to be the most appropriate answer.

"After all, this matter is not a trivial matter, let alone my business, but a matter related to the order and discipline of our big group." "So if I become commander, I'll find an opportunity to bring it up in the next meeting, and then everyone will vote on it." In fact, it is more than just a thunderbolt. There are still a lot of individuals or teams out there who can do something, and we can officially recruit them once we have formed an army, so as to strengthen our strength and increase our chances of victory against aliens. ”

Well, this answer is okay, but it is far from satisfactory. It felt like something was missing.

Yes, boldness!

On this issue, the usually resolute Doctor Doom hesitated, and did not show his own courage.

Regardless of what the others thought, though, at least one was quite satisfied with Dr. Doom's answer. There is no doubt that it is Tony Stark, the initiator. (To be continued......)
