Chapter 313 Abandoning S.H.I.E.L.D. and Joining the Foundation
After the first meeting, Steve was already very angry when he got into the car on the way back: "They have gone too far. There is no way Hong will back down. Even I will not agree to such a rude request."
Yelena also said coldly: "51% of the equity, it's a shame they dare to think about it."
"Of course they dare to think about it, because they are really rich." Natasha looked out the window. Although the streets had been cleared, the ruins piled up on both sides were still messy, and most of the people who appeared from time to time had their heads lowered and were depressed. She
He couldn't help but say: "But they will not invest money randomly in reconstruction projects in New York, because it may not be profitable, or the profit cycle will be too long."
Xu Wenwu looked indifferent and said: "This is not the capital. Although Wall Street was damaged, at least it did not collapse. The key people also left early, so the remaining people are obviously not that important."
Steve said with a sullen face: "They are unwilling to allocate more taxpayers' money to help them regain their lives. After the first batch of funds was allocated, they have been discussing it, and the news is broadcast every day, but
The result has never been seen, and no one knows how long they will fight.”
Xu Wenwu said in a nonchalant manner: "As long as they show a competitive attitude, when outsiders become impatient, they will make another move, and then continue to fight until New York is sorted out by the city, state or other methods.
When it’s almost done, they will put in one last payment. In this way, you need to pay less, but you can feel a lot.”
Steve suddenly stared. Although he didn't ask a question, his eyes showed it clearly.
He couldn't believe that the truth would really be as Xu Wenwu said.
At this time, Natasha frowned slightly and said: "Mr. Xu's words are very likely true, but the financial situation of the New York City government is average, and the state government probably doesn't have much spare power to support New York. New York City's
Nearly half of the tax revenue comes from real estate, and half of the tax revenue comes from 1% of taxpayers. But this disaster has basically destroyed real estate, and the 1% of taxpayers will definitely not come back for the time being."
"Then New York has lost hope of recovery?" Steve was a little unbelievable.
"That's not the case, it's just that the speed will be slower. The Federation is not in a hurry, but some people are in a hurry. Stark donated a lot. Although there are not many people like him, if they gather together and form a river, there will always be enough."
"Why?"
Natasha: "Because most of what you see being destroyed now are the properties of wealthy people. They have inevitably lost part of it due to force majeure. In the short term, they are unable or do not want to invest anymore. As for those industries, as long as they are not dependent on
If you are serious, there is always a way to move from this dilapidated place to another place. Also, don’t forget the battle in New York two years ago. No one knows whether aliens will come to New York again in the future.”
Yelena pouted: "But what they have to invest is not their own money, but taxes. Who doesn't know that almost everything you do here has to pay taxes, and the collection of taxes here is famous for being strict in the world."
Maybe... will they even want to tax illegal and criminal transactions in the future?"
Steve was speechless with his mouth open, and the light in his eyes seemed to dim a little at this moment.
Xu Wenwu, Natasha, and Yelena, these three people, no matter what angle they stand on, will definitely not give the United States a good evaluation. Steve himself knows this well, and what makes him feel pain, disappointment and even
Desperately:
What the three of them said is right.
"We are not caring about the people, we are greedy." Finally, Xu Wenwu ended the discussion with one sentence.
"What do you mean?" the three of them asked at the same time.
Xu Wenwu briefly explained.
"The way you speak, the tone of your words, and the content of your words are all very similar to Hong's. And what you say makes sense." Steve could only smile bitterly while sighing with emotion.
"We have the same background." Xu Wenwu responded, with a smile suddenly appearing on his face: "They should know that such conditions are unlikely to be agreed to, whether they really want it or are pretending to be a test, this time
I’m afraid the matter isn’t just about the foundation.”
Natasha nodded immediately after hearing this: "I also think they have another purpose."
"What purpose?" Yelena was puzzled.
Steve said with a complicated expression: "Maybe... it's Hong."
Yelena was stunned for a moment: "They don't want their lives?"
Natasha shook her head: "They are not desperate for their lives, they are willing to ignore risks or face risks for their own interests and demands. Isn't this what these people have always been like?"
Hearing these words, Steve's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered a book.
It was a book that Hong Fei had given him along with his armor, and it was called: Capital.
Capital is not a book that teaches you how to operate capital, but a "working class bible" that analyzes the capitalist mode of production, exposes the bloody reality behind capital, and criticizes it rationally, orderly, and thoroughly.
!
Back at the temporary base, Steve's emotions were barely concealed on the surface.
When he arrived at the Avengers' station, everyone noticed something strange about him as soon as he entered the door.
Tony was the first to get up and step forward: "Steve, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Steve responded perfunctorily, passed Tony and sat directly on the sofa.
Seeing him like this, others had some guesses in their minds, but they couldn't continue to ask further questions.
Tony's eyes moved and he said: "You came back just in time. We are discussing the establishment of a brand new Avengers base in the suburbs of New York. This time it does not necessarily require a building, but it must be a base with nearly perfect functions. All Avengers and logistics
The daily work, training and life of support staff will be centralized and, importantly, it will be safe."
During the Battle of New York, Stark Tower became the primary target.
When the darkness invaded, the renovated Avengers Tower was also cleaned by the dark elves.
This time, Tony gave up on that unlucky place and instead wanted to build an Avengers base on the outskirts of New York.
However, after hearing his words, Steve couldn't help but feel heavier. Even super rich people and superheroes like Tony Stark wanted to leave New York City and find another place, so wouldn't other people have more reason to abandon that city?
City?
Thinking of this, Steve sighed heavily, sulkingly, but it sounded almost like an angry snort.
"There is no need to build an Avengers base."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at it one after another.
Tony frowned: "Why?"
"The Avengers were formed under the leadership of SHIELD, but I don't need to tell you that SHIELD's past performance has proven that they are not worth relying on."
The furrow between Tony's brows deepened: "You want to disband the Avengers?"
"No, it's not disbandment. At least as long as people still recognize the Avengers, we should always be the Avengers."
At this time, Barton suddenly interrupted: "You want to leave SHIELD?"
"Yes." Steve didn't hide his thoughts.
Rhodes shrugged and said, "But we are still in SHIELD's temporary base."
"You also said that this is a temporary base. Has SHIELD headquarters made any special arrangements from the incident to now? They have bypassed this sad city on the grounds that they are a global organization, but I didn't before
Found that they would define themselves by this concept. Now, the SHIELD agents in New York City are members of the New York Bureau organized by Hill."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Tony said: "You mean, we all join the Super Foundation and we will act in the name of the Avengers of the Super Foundation in the future?"
"Yes!" Steve still nodded candidly: "When necessary, we can give up the identity label of Avengers. What we have to do is not only revenge, but also confrontation, prevention, assistance, etc. We can and should take on
More responsibility.”
For a moment, everyone looked confused.
Tony glanced around without leaving a trace, immediately clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said: "The captain has given us a brand new suggestion. Everyone should go down and think about it carefully. Steve and I will meet again after a while.
Everyone is invited to discuss this matter."
After everyone stood up and left, Tony frowned and sat down next to Steve.
"I knew you would have this idea, but you seemed to be too hasty. What happened?"
…
Snake Shield Headquarters.
Pierce sat on the soft chair with a smile on his face. Ever since he first learned that the Dragon King had agreed to join Hydra, the smile on his face seemed to have never disappeared.
Within Hydra, different branches have different ideals and ambitions. Once these different ideals are confirmed by everyone, they can get corresponding support from other branches. The highest goal of Hydra is to rule the world, and behind this goal is also injected with similar ideas.
Brainwashing declarations like "Human beings don't need freedom, freedom leads to chaos".
"How are you preparing?"
Rumlow said without a smile: "The last round of testing started last night."
Pierce nodded with satisfaction, "Where's Fury?"
"He is very conscientious." A strange smile suddenly appeared on Rumlow's face, "If it weren't for him, I don't think the plan would go forward so fast."
Pierce couldn't help but sigh: "Fury is a very capable person. I knew it when I first met him. And when he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., his methods of doing things were even more similar to ours.
Hydra.”
Rumlow nodded in agreement. He was the captain of SHIELD's secret service and was very familiar with Fury. He had done a lot of work for Fury that was similar to Hydra, so when he was in SHIELD
It’s quite handy.
"When the plan is completed, if he is smart enough, he can be kept alive, but it is best not to let him have the opportunity to gain power. Only by continuously serving us like now can his value be truly reflected."
"I'll keep an eye on him."
"No, don't do it now. Give him the rights and freedom. As long as he doesn't touch the core of the plan, let him do it. He will definitely do a good job. I have always thought so."
Rumlow laughed maliciously.
Pierce thought for a while and then said: "Next, the Dragon King should attend a welcome banquet among the leaders. At that time, I will not show up at the beginning, but others will explain to him the importance of the insight plan. As long as he
If you don’t object, our probability of success is 100%.”
"What if he objects?"
"Then he will first become the target of hundreds of countries in the world, and we will blow him, Sokovia, and the New York estate into the sky first... with nuclear bombs!"
