Chapter 704: Election Advantage Seeking Foreign Aid
After listening to Nick Fury's detailed description of his plan, Tony Stark's biggest feeling was absurdity. The main reason why he thinks so is that the most important part of this plan is that it is to make him the new president of the United States.
To be honest, Tony has always had a high opinion of himself. Whether it is a businessman, a playboy or a superhero, he thinks he is fully qualified for this identity. But, the president? He has never even thought about this issue. Or he simply doesn't think he can play such a role.
In his opinion, the guy in front of him who was in a wheelchair was more suitable than him. So he almost immediately asked him questions.
"Why me? I don't think I'll be a suitable president. Even if you go up, it's more suitable than me. When it comes to those political means, I don't think I'll be more skilled than you. Moreover, if you are worried about the election, it's unnecessary. I can use my own power to create enough public opinion for you. The second president in the United States in the second wheelchair is enough for you to cheat enough votes."
There was some sarcasm, but it was also telling the truth. Tony's question could be said to be at the critical point. However, Nick Fury had a full explanation for his doubts.
"Why is it you? I have also thought about this question. But after I thought about it carefully, I found that this position really requires you."
"First of all, it's because of the complex situation we are in now. If the United States is still the same, you are willing to be my investor to create momentum and win votes for me. I will definitely welcome it. But now, this approach has no meaning."
"Do you think our government elections can continue after you publish the information I provide? You should know that both the Republican and the Democratic Party have at least ordinary people who are trapped in it. They are also important figures in those parties. In other words, once the scandals in your hands are published, these two parties will be immediately divided into an untrustworthy blacklist. In the current situation of national riots, they will almost no longer have any possibility of rule. That is to say, the electoral system we rely on has become a waste."
"The people will no longer choose the other guy we like in the circle of candidates we divide. They will even vote for themselves or someone around them. Can you imagine what a huge project would be like for an election with more than 100 million votes alone? Even when our country is the most prosperous, it may not be able to solve this problem, let alone the time now."
"I still don't understand why it was me?" After hearing so many things, Tony felt that he had grasped the point, but he couldn't figure it out clearly. He waved his hand irritably and said to Nick Fury impatiently. "Tell me the reason directly, I don't want to hear those extra nonsense!"
"Your impatient problem needs to be changed, Tony!" Nick Fury replied honestly, "There are two real reasons."
"First, your fame. When our government and parties completely break their trust in their citizens, they think that if we want to choose a new national leader, most of the public must nod. And who will they nod? Maybe it is a business giant, a familiar politician, or even a household name. But no matter who it is, it must have such a famous enough reputation. And you, Tony. Your fame is definitely the most reputable one here."
"You are a business giant, and the business you have is almost the pride of the United States. And you are a playboy, and you have news about you in Time magazine and gossip tabloids. The most important thing is that you are a superhero. A real hero who once protected them and also exposed the mask of the government. These conditions combined are enough to give you the most reputable reputation and win the most recognition of people. And people like me are different. If I stand up, maybe those people will say, hey, where did this one-eyed dragon come from? Was he here to show off?"
After a little self-deprecating, Nick Fury continued.
"The second is your identity. Tony Stark. Such an identity is enough to trust us and to ease many relationships. Not to mention anything else, just talking about your friendship with that person is enough to solve the most serious problem at the moment comes from the mutant's revenge."
"And, your identity has another value, that is, it can make us believe in you firmly. At this time, when the whole of America has become a messy masquerade, to be honest, almost no one will believe it. Because I am not sure that that person would not be a pawn of Hydra. But, Tony! As Howard's son, I believe you will never be a Hydra person. Just because Howard was once assassinated by Hydra people, you will not be able to join them."
"Hydra has become the most evil force in this country, the world. It is not their power, but their evil and cunning. You have also seen that its use of conspiracy and intrigue has caused this country to collapse frequently. This is just its head. Therefore, if we want to save this country, we must treat an evil organization as a great enemy. To deal with such a cunning and good at using conspiracy, we must trust each other. This is also an important factor in the future when we reshape the functional organs of the state. We must never be eroded to this level by Hydra as we are today."
When someone mentioned his father's death, Tony was stunned at first, then became silent.
The strongest castle was first to be broken from the inside. Tony understood this truth very well, and even if he didn't understand it, the fact that happened in front of him could make him understand the truth of this sentence. Such a huge country, almost the most powerful country in the world, became what he is today under the erosion of such a group of guys. This situation is enough to make anyone tremble and take it as a warning.
Therefore, he also agrees with Nick Fury's statement. Ensuring the innocence of new government personnel will be an important measure to prevent and deal with Hydra. To implement such measures, a very important premise is that some of them must become leaders of the country.
In this way, he seems to have become a destined existence. Moreover, if the new government takes Hydra as its main hostile target, then he will have no reason to refuse, both public and private. However, after all, he is still a little unconfident.
"I understand what you said, but I really don't know how to be elected. Even if I have the information you provide, even my identities can play a certain role. But this doesn't seem to guarantee that I can be elected as the new president. I always feel that your plan is still lacking!"
If you can think like this, it almost means that Tony accepted Nick Fury's plan. When he heard him say this, both Nick Fury and Colson showed joy.
So, when facing this question, Colson immediately said.
"We have also considered this issue, and we have such an idea about the solution to this problem."
"Maybe, I mean maybe, you should go and ask your good friend for some necessary help!"
"My good friend?" Hearing this word, Tony was confused for a moment, then locked his eyebrows deeply and looked at Colson who said this. "Are you talking about Zhou Yi?"
"Yes, it's this gentleman. Or, let's make it clear. It's this contemporary god."
Nodding very directly, Colson began to explain in a more direct way.
"All the plans we mentioned just now will only give you half the chance to get a new election. After all, our enemies will not be able to just watch your clear-cut opponent occupy the board they have set up so hard. Whether it is to interfere with you by bad means or to recommend a new candidate to participate in the competition, this is a very possible thing. Moreover, with their huge power, the success rate of doing so is even above us."
"At this time, we have to admit that the forces in our hands are at a disadvantage. Therefore, we must have a strong external force to support them. As for strength and voice, what else is more suitable in this world than that God Majesty?"
"As long as you can get the support of His Majesty, you can get the support of all believers who believe in him. You must know that after he showed the great power of God twice, more and more believers in this country and even the entire world began to become his supporters. Judging from the current situation, this number is absolutely huge."
"And, with his support, you will be supported by most of the army. Because as he ended this ridiculous war, more and more people have believed that he is a god representing war and victory. Now almost no soldier dares to point his gun at this existence, especially our soldiers. As the released prisoners of war began to promote his power, our army has almost completely begun to believe in his existence. Therefore, from this perspective, it is very important to get his support. Because we can hold the most critical force."
"In the end, with his support, we can solve a big problem. The troubles from mutants. No matter what, our relationship with mutants is becoming increasingly stiff. Now we have no energy or ability to deal with mutants' revenge. Since this is the case, we have only one choice. That is to seek peace, and through him to seek peace, we can repair a harmonious relationship. This is the real point. I believe that in the whole United States, there is probably no one who is willing to have any conflicts with mutants again. Do you think so?"
Silence is still silent. It was not until a long time later that Tony made up his mind.
"I know what to do!" (To be continued.)
