Chapter 324: The Civil War between the North and the South
"I can't believe it, Tony, you're coming to me. But I have to say, you are becoming more and more like a politician, and Ymir has said to me: don't trust a politician! โ
Iron Man shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said meaningfully: "If necessary, I am willing to be a politician among our superheroes and speak for our interests." โ
"Okay." Spider-Man spread his hands, he didn't have much to say about Iron Man's words.
"I heard your arguments in the special courtroom, and it was very exciting." Iron Man pointed to a small screen under the dashboard of the luxury sports car, which was still live-streaming the argument between Attorney Matt and Senator Stan.
To be honest, Iron Man also dislikes Senator Stan, especially after the other party summons himself to the White House in an attempt to obtain Iron Man armor technology from himself.
Spider-Man didn't look optimistic, he held his head and said, "I made a mess." โ
He and Daredevil thought they had caught Wilson this time. Fisk, I'm sure I'll be able to send him to prison.
Iron Man didn't think so, he patted Spider-Man on the shoulder and said, "That's not the case, you said what you and your group of people have to say about something important." If people stop expressing their inner opinions, then our republican government will come to an end. The most important thing is that they can delete the court records, but there is no way to delete what you say. โ
"So, you think, I'm not doing the worst?" Spider-Man's spirit recovered slightly, and he shook his head and said, "I have a hunch that the introduction of the superhero registration bill will definitely cause a big event. But Mr. Stark. I'm not Mr. Magic or Dr. Miรจ. What do you think I'm capable of doing? โ
"Things you can do. There are many" Iron Man did not answer Spider-Man's question head-on, but said: "I have always revered Abraham. President Lincoln, when the South adopted the slavery system, knew that the opposition he took would inevitably lead to a civil war. Even though it had always been clear, he did it anyway. โ
Looking at Spider-Man's big eyes full of bewilderment, Iron Man explained, "It's because he understands a truth, a truth that perhaps no one in his time understands better than him." He knew that the United States, which seemed calm at the time, was in fact full of undercurrents. When contradictions accumulate to a critical point, they will inevitably erupt. โ
"A country cannot survive for a long time with contradictory positions, and during the period when he declares that the civil war is going on, every qiฤ is terrible, and every qiฤ is so bloody. But this qiฤ is necessary! โ
Iron Man said categorically: "Because history proves that in the end, the republic continued, and our country returned to peace. Sometimes I wonder if I have the courage to make certain decisions like Abraham did. โ
"It sounds creepy, but luckily, I don't have to think about whether I have the courage or not." Unlike Iron Man. Spider-Man is the quintessential street hero, and it is enough for him to be able to stand up for the justice in his heart. There is absolutely no way to make a difference to the whole country or the world.
It's like Spider-Man's uncle Ben said: with great power comes great responsibility. Spider-Man doesn't have the ability to push for civil war, so he doesn't have to take responsibility for it.
But Iron Man is different, as a special adviser to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the president, he is still very vocal in some matters. This kind of power, which other superheroes do not have, is also officially the reason for the pressure in his heart.
"Spider-Man, believe it or not, there are 'nodes' in a person's life. Nodes can change the course of your fate, such as getting married, having children, or a sudden illness. And the same is true of countries, such as 911, the battle of New York and other emergencies are the nodes of the demarcation of our national destiny. โ
Iron Man said anxiously, "Look at the rebuilding work on the side of the street, the people look at us." โ
He slowed down the speed of the sports car, and the busy Manhattan rebuilders on the side of the street looked curiously at the supercar and, of course, the two superheroes sitting in the car.
Spider-Man swallowed slightly: "They, look at us with anger in their eyes, as if we are responsible for these ruins"
"Why not, indeed, we didn't deliberately provoke the invasion of the Zetarian army. It may seem like we're not responsible, but we're people with superpowers. People don't care what we do, they care about what we don't do. โ
It sounds like a plot of hatred of the rich, where people don't care what the rich do, they care about what they don't do. "The Battle of New York exposed us superheroes who are hiding behind the world, so the public is no longer content to passively accept our protection," Iron Man said. They are looking for more security, and only by being a registered hero of the government, subject to the management of the federal government, will the public feel at ease with us and their own safety. โ
Spider-Man said: "That's what you think, but you have to know that everyone's personality is different, and not everyone is like you. "What he said was true, superheroes are heroes because they believe in themselves.
Without that insistence on the belief in justice in one's heart, there is not much difference between superheroes and supercriminals. It is precisely because of the constraints of justice in the heart that superheroes will not be confused by power and degenerate into criminals.
But, as Spider-Man said, not every superhero is the same concept as the 'justice' that Iron Man insists on. Iron Man didn't want to be so radical in the first place, but time was running out.
"The president had communicated with me before I met with Professor Charles and you," he said. โ
Spider-Man frightened: "President? What did he say to you? โ
"Two things, first, as the former secretary of state, and the de facto leader of the Avengers after Captain America was declared a treason, he wants me to know that at the upcoming United Nations summit on Ellis Island, there will be a referendum on the draft superhero registration bill, and at least 45 countries and regions will adopt this bill as current law, including the United Kingdom, France and Russia in Europe."
Spider-Man grinned and said, "Sounds solemn." "Of course, after the referendum, the bill will be signed into Congress in one to two weeks, which means that it will also become a law in our country." Iron Man said. (To be continued......)
