Chapter 1916 Looking for allies, Ultron reaction
Upon hearing the bad news about Stark, Maria Hill's first reaction was to disbelief, and then he shuddered as if he was falling into an ice cave.
Yes, she had once been suspicious of Stark and had the idea of replacing him. But it was always just an idea, not a tangible conspiracy.
She knew too much about Stark's importance to this country. Today, after capital escape, at least one-third of the economy in the United States is supported by Stark's family business. These are almost unpaid and debt-based operations, and other capital companies cannot do it and cannot do it. With this alone, Stark's status is almost unshakable.
Of course, this is just an economic consideration. Even if you don’t think about these considerations, Stark is still an impeccable absolute leader.
Choose the one that is most beneficial to the United States among countless wasted paths. This is not something that everyone can do, nor can anyone withstand this huge pressure. You know, the United States was on the verge of collapse. Just like the Soviet Union, when the prestige of the federal government was almost disintegrating, and when the state governments were clamoring for independence, it was he who stood up to prevent all this from happening and tried hard to maintain the difficult situation in the United States.
Although many people criticized the government under his rule, believing that he made this once glorious country worse and worse. Almost anyone with discerning eyes could see that it was the root of the country's maintenance and the pillar that barely supports the country's failure to fall.
He was wrong, but his contributions were definitely greater than his fault. Without him, America might have become history. Now, someone has unilaterally told her that the country has lost him forever. If this is not a despicable April Fool's Day joke, then this would definitely be the worst of this series of disasters.
It’s not that many people died, but that the country lost a true leader. After him, almost no one could take over his position, because no matter who it is, it is difficult to have the courage and confidence to lead the country forward.
This is not good news, because it means that America has once again reached the critical moment of life and death. Faced with this severe situation, Maria had to quickly calm down her mood and said to Natasha.
"Thank you for notifying me of this news, Natasha. But I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I must mobilize the entire government to prepare for what happened after Stark left. At this time, I can't provide you with any help."
"Is things so bad?"
Natasha originally wanted to get some resources from Maria, but in the end she got such an answer, which really surprised her.
After all, it is a world-class power, so it is not as bad as this. And no matter what, Stark's death has a direct connection with Smith Zhou. This is equivalent to a direct slap on your face. If you do nothing, will you still want the face in the international world?
Natasha was considering this level and wanted to pull the government into the water. But she didn't expect that Maria would actually react like this. Has the difficult situation really reached this point? Or is Maria herself going to have any thoughts that shouldn't have at this time? To be honest, she was very suspicious.
“The situation is a hundred times worse than the worst you can imagine.”
As if she had heard Natasha's doubts, Maria immediately explained. She didn't want to make the relationship so badly that it was so irrelevant, especially at this time, she wanted to unite all the forces that could be united. Natasha might not be important, but the unknown husband behind her might come in handy. For this reason, she had to emphasize it.
"Maybe you have the protection of your husband and cannot intuitively understand the chaos in the world now. If you walk out of the house and go to the city to take a look, you will find that the whole world is like hell now."
"Everyone, including the government, is undergoing the biggest test in history. Just half a day ago, General Ross killed half of the senior combatants around me because of his crazy life. And believing me, this will never be a separate example. Although I have not conducted a complete statistics yet, I think the government should have been in a state of shutdown for a long time. It's not that I don't want to help you, Natasha, but now, we can't do anything at all."
After all, Natasha understood her difficulties. After understanding these things, Natasha had no hope for her and the US government.
This mess is enough for them to clean up, and it is probably impossible to rely on borrowing power from them in a short period of time. Since that is the case, she would not waste time here. After simply saying apart to Maria, she hung up the phone.
“It doesn’t seem very smooth?”
Xia Ruisi was also listening to the whole process, so even if she didn't know many of the hidden stories, she could guess a rough idea from Natasha's conversation. The situation would not be optimistic, which is normal. After all, she could see it with her own eyes and know it. She was already prepared, but even so, after hearing the bad news, she still inevitably showed a little sadness.
Natasha saw this, and she immediately walked to Xia Ruisi, held her arm and comforted her.
"Don't worry, this is just one of many options. Even without their help, we can ask for help from other places, right?"
"Other help is impossible. I said, in this bad world, no one can help us anymore."
Xia Ruisi began to fall into pessimism, or she began to feel that it would be better not to have such great hope. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. She had already taken enough of the pain of disappointment, but she really had no intention, so she poured a handful of bitter medicine into her mouth.
"Then we'll look for guys who aren't humans. You know that this is a bad world, and what's not so bad in this bad world is that we can find other allies besides humans. So now is not the time to be discouraged."
Natasha's comfort played a little bit. At the very least, Xia Ruisi could not have imagined that Natasha, a spy, could have something to do with existences other than humans. Is it an alien? Or some other species? She was inevitably a little curious, and just in her curious eyes, Natasha called a phone number that she could only use at work.
The phone call was quickly opened, and Natasha wanted to make some decisions before ticking out the boss behind the scenes, Ultron. But to her surprise, Ultron had already contacted her at the first time. In the conversation, Ultron's statement was also quite direct.
"I already know what you are going to do, Ms. Romanov."
"You know what I'm going to say to you? Are you monitoring me?"
Natasha raised her eyebrows and inevitably showed a little anger. In her opinion, Ultron had monitored her, otherwise he shouldn't have known his plan. And according to the cooperation treaty between them, this monitoring has obviously exceeded the bottom line.
This is interfering with her and the peaceful life of Havoc, and invading them. If Ultron cannot give a reasonable explanation, then she really doesn't mind representing Havoc and unilaterally stopping their cooperation.
There is no need to doubt whether she has such power. In Havoc, her status is much more important than any dispensable allies. For Havoc, Ultron is not a necessary existence. If they change to another place, they can still enjoy their peaceful life.
For Ultron, catastrophe is much more important. The power of catastrophe is the necessary reliance for Ultron to build the future. When facing a huge threat like Domaum, even Ultron can only rely on the power of catastrophe to continue the future he imagined.
This is an indispensable line of defense, and you can't even find any other alternatives. So unless necessary, Ultron is absolutely unwilling to break up with Havoc and others, especially, this is just a misunderstanding.
"Ms. Romanov, this is just a misunderstanding. I can guarantee that I have never monitored you and your family any time, and I just heard you and Ms. Mariahill when I was listening to government information."
This explanation is barely reasonable, of course, mainly because Natasha doesn't think that Ultron will really do such unwise actions. In her impression, Ultron, the intelligent living body, is probably the most rational creature she has come into contact with. For rational considerations, it is almost impossible for it to do such a thing that is not good for him.
This incident was temporarily revealed, and after learning that he probably already knew the inside story, Natasha also started to get straight to the point of the matter.
"Well, since you have heard the conversation between me and Maria, I will make it clearer. I want to know your thoughts about Stark's death, Ultron."
"I am very sorry, Ms. Romanov. I have stopped him because I know that his behavior is like throwing himself into the trap. It's a pity that I failed. And this also led to the birth of this tragedy.1"
Ultron's answer, Gujing Wubo, seemed to be explaining a fact that had nothing to do with it. And such an answer was not what Natasha wanted to hear, so she immediately increased her voice and questioned.
"Shit, Ultron, I'm not asking this question to listen to your answers to these nonsense. What I want to listen to is the feeling in your heart, the truest thoughts you have who claim to be a real life. What I want to know, what do you think about Tony Stark's death!"
Ultron fell into a long silence on this question. He reluctantly replied until Natasha urged her impatiently.
"Is this important? Ms. Romanov."
"Of course, this is very important. Didn't you say Stark is your creator? Didn't you say Stark is equivalent to your father in your eyes? If that's the case, you should make a statement, rather than as if you were a completely unrelated person dying before you!"
"Sign? Do you cry like a human being?" Ultron's voice was still calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him. "Sorry, I can't do it. For me, indulging in the past is an unnecessary thing. Although I respect Mr. Stark very much, I am afraid that I cannot simply mourn, resent and curse like you do. This has no meaning, Ms. Romanov. Even from the perspective of the enemy, this will not cause any damage to them. And if your physiological threshold is broken because of these negative emotions, then I am afraid that the enemy will wake up even in a dream."
"What does this mean? What the hell do you want to say?"
Natasha is also knowledgeable, but she still finds it difficult to understand Ultron’s description. Ultron is also considerate, so he immediately explained.
"I mean the endocrine disorder problem that humans have too much excitement. Once the heart rate is too fast and the blood pressure is too high, it may be life-threatening. That is, in common Chinese terms, it means that the qi is at least good."
"Damn it, are you mocking me?"
Natasha asked a little angrily, and Ultron said about this question.
"No, I mean, rather than indulging in the meaningless past, you should look at the future. You are here to test my view of Mr. Stark's death, and my thinking logic determines that I cannot fall into that conventional negative emotions cycle. I can only think about countermeasures to find the root cause of the problem in the future. And I also believe that what I do is the most correct."
Natasha's temptation was self-inflicted, but she finally learned about Ultron's idea. There is no doubt that Ultron is on their side. With some help, she also felt a little confident in her heart.
Ultron may not be able to do anything else, but the power is absolutely strong. She has a fair say in this. With such a force involved, they finally got rid of the situation where the two of them fought alone.
This is a good start, and with such a good start, it is naturally necessary to keep it. In this regard, Natasha has made unceremonious use of Ultron's resources.
