Chapter 693 Gambler's Psychology Straight to Victory
Should we retreat? Or continue to attack? For the US government, they seem to have only two choices. In Captain America's view, if they are the kind of smart people and if they are still rational, then retreating is the choice they will inevitably make.
But, are these people really rational now? This is a question that the captain never thought of, but the facts proved that it would be the biggest mistake he made. He underestimated the ambitions of these people and the madness in their hearts.
For a conspirator who has seen the dawn of victory and is driven by ambition to bet on almost everything he says, even if the captain says it is true, even if the possibility of his success is only a slight small amount, he is unwilling to give up so easily, and he will try his best to bet on this little possibility.
This is the most typical gambler's psychology, and Pierce and his friends have obviously had their eyes red.
"Captain, do you think you can stop this with these ridiculous reasons?"
A simple sentence made the captain's heart completely sink to the bottom. He stared at Pierce who said this and said loudly.
"Mr. Chairman, I can assure you with my honor and my life that everything I say is true. I really saw that guy, right in this city. He has set up a trap and is waiting for you to take the bait. Doing this will only give him a chance to have an attack. And by that time, it is already too late."
"Since that's the case, why do you inform us of this? To be honest, when you appear in the enemy's camp and use violent means to deal with the American army, your identity is worthy of our doubts. We have sufficient reasons to suspect that you have betrayed your country, and for a betrayer, why do we need to believe what he said and use it as a basis to change our established strategy?"
"Hey, General, I'm not kidding you anymore. Everything I'm saying is true, and I have no reason to deceive you with this lie on this issue."
The captain's voice was almost hoarse, but the doubts from General Ross were unmoved.
"No, you have this reason. Steve Rogers, when you took on the unhappy career of superheroes as Captain America, who was once very honorable, you have a reason to do so. You want to protect those mutants and those traitors. You put the so-called heroic honor on the national interests, and you want to stop this war to protect American interests, just to keep those who should not live in this world alive."
"What a ridiculous idea. For this idea, you almost betray your country, and now you have come up with such ridiculous excuses to deceive us and try to stop it. Isn't this the ghost idea in your mind?"
"General, I swear that's not the case. Even if I want to stop this war, I wouldn't choose to stop this with such a lie that can be broken. I promise that what I said is true, and I have no idea of treason at all. What I do is to protect this country!"
As the misunderstanding became deeper and deeper, or in other words, these guys who were unwilling to believe in reality wanted to blame the conspiracy for the truth they said. The captain could only explain more eagerly, and for his explanation, the commander from the US military just smiled and said to him.
"Since that's the case, then you can prove it to us. Captain Rogers!"
"Proof? How do you want me to prove it?"
The captain with a gloomy face asked, as if he had realized the dirty things that people were thinking about in their minds. Since they had spoken, these people naturally would not be afraid to say their own things.
"It's very simple. I'll give you two choices, Mr. Captain."
"First, you turned against each other. Cooperate with our robots to attack these damn mutants. When we take down the enemy's satellite city, your suspicion will be almost done."
"The second is that you and your team members will do a more dangerous job. Didn't you say that guy has returned? In that case, then you should do your best to hold him back and let him not be able to intervene in our war. In this way, when the war is over, you will not only clear away suspicion, but also accept the honors given to you by this country as a hero."
Faced with such words, the captain remained silent for a long time, and finally replied with a gloomy face.
"Sorry, I can't agree to both of your conditions. You are not the solution to the problem, but the way to make the problem worse. And I understand that you have no idea of stopping all this. So I decided that all this can't be relied on you."
"So what do you want? Join the traitors, like I said?"
Reducing the smile on his face, General Ross looked at the captain and asked coldly. As for this question, the captain stood up and looked at both sides fighting fiercely in the distance.
"I'll end it all my own way, no matter what the price I have to pay."
"Then you go. I'll be happy to see your name on the list of deaths. Goodbye, Captain. Hope we have a chance to meet again."
With a little malice, Pierce waved his hand and asked his subordinates to cut off the communication. After the communication was hung up, Pierce immediately noticed the face of General Ross beside him. Although they had just cooperated well, this does not mean that there was really such a tacit understanding between them, especially on this issue. Pierce had seen some hesitation in General Ross' face.
"Why, do you regret it now? Or do you really believe that the guy is back?"
"You don't know Captain America. He won't lie!" Shaking his head, General Ross clearly expressed his concerns. "He is a pure soldier, and he doesn't have to lie to us on this issue. So I'm worried that we may really have to face the biggest threat."
"So what?" Hearing such words, Pierce's face suddenly showed an indifferent look. "Don't we have made the worst plan? Don't forget, Ross. How much preparations have we made and how much bets we have made for all this today. The future of the whole United States is in our hands. Now you actually say you are afraid, isn't this kidding me?"
"Listen, we have mobilized all the troops that can be used on the United States, not just those sentinel robots, but I have used all the things that can be used. So, we will never have any hesitation and hesitation, do you understand?"
He sucked two cigars, letting the thick smoke cover his face. After a while, General Ross replied.
"I understand what you mean. So, do we need to take the second step now?"
"Of course, general. You are an expert in this kind of thing, so everything is up to you!"
Hearing General Ross' answer, Pierce smiled and took a step back, allowing Ross to face all the agents and soldiers here more directly. With Pierce's cooperation, Ross pulled the corners of his mouth and began to order.
"Where have the ground troops been going, and how far are they from the main battlefield?"
"There are still forty kilometers. The sir. The tank brigade has approached the battlefield and is expected to be inserted into the battlefield within an hour."
"Let the tank troops stand by during the last ten kilometers, and the bomber formation will lead the way for me. I want them to do everything possible to open a channel directly to the Iron and Steel Satellite City. Is there any problem?"
"Sir, the basic construction of the Iron and Steel Satellite City is all metal. I'm afraid the equivalent carried by the two bomber formations will be difficult to open a large enough gap."
A staff officer began to give advice, and when he heard this, General Ross immediately said.
"Contact me with the West Coast fleet on standby and ask three Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines to cooperate with the bombing formation to complete the strategic strike plan. An hour later, I will see a passage being opened. Is there any problem?"
"No, sir!"
"Also, contact me with the air fighter formation and prepare them for escort. I don't want our plane to be shot down by those damn mutants. Also, let two fighter formations carry over the air-to-ground missiles and be prepared to strike the local strategic command center at any time. At the same time, two raider drones will be sent into the city, and while monitoring the enemy's movements, they will also prepare for me to strike!"
General Ross listed almost all targets that needed to be attacked, but the soldiers responsible for conveying the orders hesitated about his approach.
"General, there are still civilians in the city. Isn't it a bit inappropriate if we do this?"
"Abide by the orders, soldier!" He raised his voice and roared, and Ross said seriously to him. "This is war, war is not as kind as a woman. You don't have these unnecessary worries about you until the war is over."
"Yes, sir!"
He answered with a salute, and the soldier immediately ran away in a hurry. Seeing Rose arranged everything in an orderly manner, Pierce also smiled proudly.
"You are indeed very professional, General Ross. If that's the case, then I will order the sentry robot to advance all over the line. I believe that with your rear, those mutants will not be able to make any tricks."
"Of course they can't make any tricks. But you should know that I'm not worried about ordinary mutants, but more powerful guys."
Frowning, General Ross narrowed his eyes and looked at Pierce. Seeing his eyes, Pierce immediately smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, I will deal with those guys. My subordinates' combat squad and Titan machines exist to deal with them. Don't worry, victory belongs to us."
"Victory belongs to us of course!"
Repeated firmly, General Ross's eyes were full of determination. This was a battle that could not be lost, so they could only aim for victory.
