Chapter 603: I'm Not Involved
"Oh? Is this a woman's intuition? Ian was a little amused, but it suddenly occurred to him that the goddess's instincts would be extraordinarily effective.
Diana shook her head and said, "It's not intuitive, if you didn't eliminate Medusa before, then she will definitely make a comeback." Enemies hiding in the shadows are even more difficult to deal with, and if someone wants to pour dirt on the superheroes, you and I can't stop it. ”
Speaking of this, he sighed again, "Think of our enemies, Medusa, Fallen Kong, Hydra, Mephisto, and the Star Spirits, all of whom are a bunch of difficult fellows who are good at intrigues. I don't believe they weren't aware of the tight bowstring now, so it's anyone's guess whether they'll do something about it. ”
Ian smiled when he heard this, but shook his head with some difficulty, this simple action seemed to consume a lot of his strength, Diana saw this and hurriedly held him down, "You haven't recovered yet, don't move." ”
Ian paused and lay down in peace, and said, "Bai Xiaosheng's people once told me that the great powers of the Star Eater and the Universe Emperor are on their way to Earth. The Star Spirits, as a technologically advanced race, don't know anything, so no matter what they want to do, they don't have much time left. They don't have the time to exterminate humanity by provoking it! Besides, that fallen King Kong, if he was really loyal to the Emperor of the Universe, then he would not have joined forces with Medusa and the others, and finding a place to quietly wait for the arrival of the master was their wisest decision! ”
"You're saying they won't take the opportunity to stir things up?"
"No, I mean our vacation won't be affected! Among our enemies are still Hydra and Mephisto, which are native to the earth, so their provocation will always come, but they will not follow the Star Spirit Clan and the Fallen King Kong together. Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and we also have to look at what their purpose is. Even if it does become the fuse, I don't plan to join it! ”
"Why?" Diana asked, a little surprised.
Ian laughed: "The superhero civil war is not as alarmist as imagined, it is just an internal strife. Compared to Logan, he had already predicted this, otherwise why would there be the birth of the sentry robot today! ”
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Under what circumstances do superheroes lose so much that they shake their foundations? It's when they're confronted by the government. To use one's own flesh and blood to fight against that general trend, it is not just freedom that is lost! But now it's different, you tell me who is the general trend now? ”
Diana was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean to say that the general trend is no longer on the government's side?" ”
Ian smiled, "If there were no supernatural forces in this world, then the general situation in the world would definitely be on the side of the government with force, but this is different!" Public opinion is a visible force here, and the innumerable civil forces must not be ignored. Mutants, aliens, or other superpowers, if they were, it would be a hell of a disaster. ”
"But they're all a plate of loose sand!"
"It's because of a plate of loose sand that it's terrible! All of this has been traced to this day. First of all, the famous heroes of Captain America and Spider-Man have established a heroic value in the hearts of ordinary people in the world. People gradually know that heroes are not permanent when eating, sleeping, and shooting, heroes lie in their choices, and in their choices at critical moments! Sacrificing the ego, overcoming a flaw, saving a friend, or forgiving an enemy, uh, well, the latter doesn't count. But people at least know what is good, especially when heroes die and they feel what they have lost. Knowing gratitude, they are not as ignorant as before! ”
Diana raised her eyebrows slightly, "And then?" ”
"And then there's Hydra. Well, we have to thank them for this. Hydra succeeded in getting S.H.I.E.L.D. in stink, but don't forget, S.H.I.E.L.D. is under the command of the government. How much trust do you think civilians will have in government organizations? It's not like a simple temporary worker explanation can prevaricate. When such an untrusted government is at odds with the superheroes who saved them, which side do you think people will side for? ”
Ian continued, and then added, "And then Skynet and Ultron, yes." Our enemy again! What is the powerful weapon of the government, of course, is the propaganda offensive that can disrupt public opinion. But with the popularity of the Internet, the government's propaganda is not as powerful as it used to be. Especially in Skynet and Ultron, which are almost rampant in the Internet. I can almost already see the chaos on the internet when the civil war breaks out. There is no way for the government to calm down the speech on the Internet, and when the time comes, the pros and cons will inevitably fight with each other! ”
Diana frowned and asked, "Isn't this more messy?" And are you sure Skynet and Ultron will make a move? ”
"Surely we must be sure that as long as those two mechanical beings have the destruction of humanity on their agenda, they will not miss the opportunity to cause trouble. But in doing so, they have completely drawn the government and superheroes into a complete parity! ”
Ian sighed and said, "Once the two sides are evenly matched, then neither side will go to war easily, because the gains outweigh the losses!" The top of the government is likely to face a reshuffle, and the loss of power is the last thing they want to see. And the superhero side is very likely to pay with his life! ”
Speaking of which, Ian can't help but think of the memories of the heroic civil war part of his previous life, it was a boring war, where is the boredom? It's boring that the superheroes have paid the price but nothing has changed, and the people in power are still those in power, who are watching from behind the scenes like sitting on the Diaoyu Tai. When the war ended, their rights did not change, and the superheroes who had many supporters among the people were not as good as before. So it was not the pros and cons of the superheroes who won that civil war, but the people in power behind the scenes!
Thinking of this, Ian said again: "What is the general trend now, that is, who can protect the people from aliens!" Think about these alien invasions, which one was not solved by some individual, and which one of the government's nuclear bombs worked? Oh haha, that's embarrassing, because for earthlings, we're all aliens, and fighting an alien invasion requires another alien! ”
Diana ignored Ian's sneer, "That's why you said it wouldn't have much impact?" ”
Ian smiled, "No, know who I like the most among superheroes?" ”
"Who?"
"Wolverine, no, it should be said that Wolverine became a prophet! Since Logan can see the Zerg, mutants on the verge of extinction, and even the Star Eater in the alien phantoms, then he must have seen the civil war. But do you see who he talked to? Ian smiled as he spoke, and added, "Although he didn't say it, he has been making up for possible tragedies with his actions!" ”
"He worked with Professor Charles and Magneto to bring mutants into the lives of ordinary people, ostensibly subordinate to the government but still operating independently. He saved Howard and kept Carter alive until now, and secretly formed an organization to turn the tide when the monsters invaded. You can now clearly tell from your contact with Nick Fury that he is no longer on the side of the government! ”
Diana asked, "But why didn't he say anything about the civil war?" ”
"Because he knows that civil war is inevitable, he can only do but not say! He knew exactly what people had lost in the civil war. I also know that if this is still the case in the future, humanity will definitely perish when the aliens attack, so you see, Captain America and Nick Fury's organization have put on a pair of pants and entered a bed because of Carter, well, they will howl together at night! And you see, because of Howard, Tony has been a lot more honest lately in addition to picking up girls everywhere. Hehe, who can live like Logan for so long, which one is not a monkey spirit? ”
Diana's mind crossed the image of the uncle with a cigar in his mouth, and she said in disbelief: "That Logan is really so scheming? ”
Ian pouted and smiled, "Well, an authentic scheming female watch!" (To be continued.) )
PS: In fact, I refused to add more on April Fool's Day, but yesterday's anti-theft chapter seems to have been very enthusiastic, which makes my heart itch. So is it true that I said today?
