Chapter 199 Captain America: My horse is also dead!
"Stephen, you speak so eloquently, could it be that you are already single?" Tony Stark asked.
Phew!
Tony Stark's words were like a sharp knife thrust into Stephen Strange's chest.
"This question has nothing to do with the topic being discussed now," Stephen Strange said.
"No?" Tony Stark said speechlessly, "Don't you think it's weird that you, a guy who is still a bachelor, are talking about love here?"
"Okay, okay, I shut up, is that okay now?" Stephen Strange spread his hands.
"Seriously Stephen, that Christine in your hospital is really nice. I think she must be interested in you too. If you have a chance, confess her love as soon as possible." Tony Stark said, "Such a good girl, don't
missed."
"Isn't this an answer to a question? Why did you say it to me?" said Stephen Strange. "What I just wanted to say is that Vision and Wanda are a couple. It is very likely that they will either retire together or not be together."
Retirement. Since both of them were there during the airport battle, I don’t think either of them retired. If they both retired, wouldn’t it be a coincidence that both of them were called to help, one to help Tony and the other to help the captain?”
"Stephen, you bachelor, stop acting as an emotional guru here." Natasha Romanoff struck mercilessly, "They may have liked each other at that time, but they were definitely not together. If they were really together,
It's impossible for Vision and Wanda to be in two camps."
"Then do you think Wanda has retired?" Stephen Strange said.
"Although your reasoning is hard to explain, I agree with your results." Natasha Romanoff said, "I don't think Wanda has retired either."
"Wanda, what do you think?" Steve Rogers asked Wanda Maximoff, "If you were asked to sign the Sokovia Accords, would you retire?"
"Should..." Wanda Maximoff thought for a while and said, "No?"
"Even Wanda said no, so what are we talking about?" Scott Lang shrugged.
"This question 'named' four heroes, so, who will answer the question?" Nick Fury asked.
"Clint is the one retiring, so let Clint answer." Natasha Romanoff said.
"I've said it many times, this opportunity should be given to someone else," Clint Barton said.
"No, Clint, this reward is very consistent with your ability." James Rhodes said, "With the domineering power of knowledge, your arrows will definitely hit the mark."
"I'm going to hit the target right now," Clint Barton said.
"That's right, but if you can predict the enemy's next move, then your archery skills will be a new world." Wanda Maximoff said, "Domineering through knowledge, knowledge, and color is the best for you."
"Yes Clint, you are the most suitable." Nick Fury also said.
"Okay then, I'll answer." Clint Barton didn't insist anymore after hearing this, "I choose B!"
[Correct answer! Reward distributed!]
"Sure enough, the Haki of Wisdom and Color is really a good thing." Clint Barton felt the Haki of Wisdom and Color and couldn't help but smile on his face.
Soon, the video started playing.
“Last month, 11 Wakandan citizens were tragically killed in a conflict between the Avengers and mercenaries in Lagos, Nigeria. These normally isolated Wakandans were performing charity work in Lagos when the attack occurred
Service." The female anchor announced the news.
"The blood of our people was spilled on foreign soil, not only because of the actions of criminals, but also because of the indifference of those who stopped the crimes. A victory achieved at the expense of innocent people is not a victory at all." King T'Chaka of Wakanda gave a speech
.
Steve Rogers picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
"They are not subject to international law and if we don't respond to news like this, this is what will happen. What rights do enablers like Wanda Maximoff have to operate in Nigeria..."
But the sound of the news continued to sound, and it was Wanda Maximoff watching another TV.
Steve Rogers walked over, picked up the remote control and turned off Wanda Maximoff's TV.
"It's all my fault." Wanda Maximoff blamed herself.
"Not really." Steve Rogers denied.
"Then turn on the TV, they are naming names." Wanda Maximoff said.
"I should have defused that bomb vest before you had to do it." Steve Rogers walked towards Wanda Maximoff, "Rumlow mentioned Bucky, and suddenly, I was that guy again.
A 16-year-old boy from Brooklyn."
"Someone died," Steve Rogers sat down next to Wanda Maximoff, "and it's all my fault."
"It's our fault," said Wanda Maximoff.
"This job..." Steve Rogers paused and said, "We try to save more people, but sometimes we can't save everyone, but if we can't accept this, next time we
Maybe no one can accept it."
At this time, Vision, wearing casual clothes, came through the wall.
"Xiao Huan, we talked about walking through the wall." Wanda Maximoff said helplessly.
"Yeah, but the door was open, I thought..." Vision pointed at the open door, and then looked at Steve Rogers, "Captain Rogers said that Mr. Stark is back and asked me to notify him."
"Thank you, I'll be down right away." Steve Rogers said.
"I...walk through the door." Vision walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Also, he brought a guest."
"Do you know who it is?" Steve Rogers asked.
"Secretary of State," Vision said.
Steve Rogers was not the only one who met Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross, Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, Scarlet Witch Wanda Maximoff, War Machine James Rhodes, Hunter
The heroes Sam Wilson and Vision were all sitting at the same table, while Iron Man Tony Stark in a suit was sitting alone on the sofa in the back.
"Five years ago I had a heart attack and passed out while playing a golf swing, and that turned out to be the greatest blessing in my life."
"Because after going through 13 hours of surgery and a triple bypass, I discovered something that my 40 years in the military had not taught me, which is perspective."
"The whole world owes the Avengers a debt that cannot be repaid. You fought for us, protected us, and risked your lives."
"Although many people regard you as heroes, there are still some who prefer to use the term 'vigilante'."
Thaddeus Ross spoke eloquently in front of the conference table, and he did not know that several secretaries had written a speech for him.
"What word would you use? Mr. Secretary," Natasha Romanoff asked.
"What about Danger?" said Thaddeus Ross. "How would you describe a group of Ability Enhancers stationed in the United States? Habitually ignoring the borders of a sovereign nation, going and doing whatever they want. And honestly.
, and seemed to have no concern for the consequences.”
Then, Thaddeus Ross started playing the video.
The alien battle in New York, the destruction of the Helicarrier in Washington, the battle in Sokovia against Ultron, the battle in Lagos against Crossbones Rumlow, and other battles were all shown on the big screen.
These wars are all fought by the Avengers to protect the people, but Thaddeus Ross chooses a completely different angle. He chooses the victim's perspective in each video to specifically show the damage caused by these wars.
, caused by accidental injury.
"For the past four years, your actions have been carried out with unlimited power and no supervision. Governments around the world can no longer tolerate this situation." After playing the video, Thaddeus Ross said with his hands behind his back, "But we have a solution.
Method."
At this time, a black man handed Thaddeus Ross a thick stack of information. He put the information on the table, "The Sokovia Accords, approved by 117 countries, which states that the Avengers will no longer
It is a private organization, but it operates under the supervision of a United Nations team, and it is up to the team to decide whether to dispatch."
"The Avengers were founded to make the world safer, and I think we did that." Steve Rogers was the first to express his disapproval of this agreement.
"Captain, do you know where Thor and Banner are now?" Thaddeus Ross asked, "If I lose two 30-megaton nuclear weapons, there will definitely be consequences."
"Compromise, guarantee, that's how the world works." Thaddeus Ross walked around the conference table, persuading as he walked, "Believe me, this is the middle ground."
"So, do you have an emergency plan?" James Rhodes asked.
"The United Nations will hold a meeting in Vienna in three days to ratify the Sokovia Accords." Thaddeus Ross said, "Let's discuss it."
"What if you don't like our decision?" Natasha Romanoff asked.
"Then you retire." Thaddeus Ross turned and left.
The discussion among the superheroes in the room was also very intense.
"Secretary Ross has one more Congressional Medal of Honor than you do," James Rhodes said to Sam Wilson.
"So assuming we sign, how long will it take for the government to track us like common criminals?" Sam Wilson said.
"117 countries want to sign this agreement, 117, Sam, are you not taking it seriously at all?" James Rhodes said.
"How long are you going to be a double-dealer?" said Sam Wilson.
"I have an equation." Vision, who was sitting there, spoke at this time, "In the eight years since Mr. Stark announced that he was Iron Man, the number of ability enhancers has been growing exponentially. At the same time, it may cause the world to
The number of apocalyptic events is also rising at the same time."
"Are you saying this is our fault?" Steve Rogers, who was reading the agreement, raised his head and looked at Vision.
"I'm saying there may be a cause and effect relationship. Our superpowers bring challenges, challenges spark conflicts, and conflicts lead to disasters." Finally, Vision concluded, "Supervision is something we should consider."
"That's to the point," said James Rhodes.
"Tony, you are surprisingly quiet." Natasha Romanoff noticed that Tony Stark had not spoken.
"Because he's made up his mind," Steve Rogers said.
"My God, you really understand me." Tony Stark stood up and touched his head and said, "Actually, I have an electromagnetic headache, so I kept silent, Captain. It just hurts and feels uncomfortable."
He said this, but in the blink of an eye, he took out his phone and pulled up a picture for everyone to see.
"That's Charles Spencer." Tony Stark pointed to the young black man in the photo. "He's a good kid, majoring in computer engineering, with a GPA of 3.6. He plans to go to work at Intel in the fall. But, he wants to
Before you sit in the office, go gain experience, see the world, and do some volunteer work.”
"Charlie doesn't want to go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale. If I were to go there, I wouldn't go to Paris or Armstrong. It would be so much fun there. He wants to use his summer vacation to build eco-housing for the poor. Guess where it is, Sokovia!"
Tony Stark became more and more excited as he spoke, "He may want to make some changes, but we have no way of knowing. Because we threw a building on him when we were having fun."
"We have no decision-making process at all. We need to be controlled, no matter in what way, I accept it." After saying this, Tony Stark felt thirsty, took a drink of water and continued, "If we are not restricted, we will
They will be lawless and no better than bad people."
"Tony, you can't just give up when someone dies in front of your eyes." Steve Rogers sat on the sofa and hugged his arms and said.
"Who says we're giving up?" Tony Stark asked.
"If you don't take responsibility for your actions, you give up." Steve Rogers said, "These documents are just shirking responsibility."
"I'm sorry, Steve, that's dangerously conceited." James Rhodes couldn't help but interject, "This is the United Nations, not the World Security Council, not S.H.I.E.L.D., and not Hydra."
"Yes, but managers are still people, and people have purposes, and purposes change." Steve Rogers said.
"It's a good thing, that's why I'm here." Tony Stark walked towards Steve Rogers, "I stopped production when I realized how disastrous the consequences would be if my weapons fell into the hands of the enemy."
"Tony, that's your choice." Steve Rogers looked up at Tony Stark, "If we sign, we give up our choice. If the team sends us somewhere we shouldn't go, or doesn't allow us
Where should we go? We may not be perfect, but we are still the most reliable people."
"If we don't sign it now, they will force us to sign it in the future." Tony Stark said, "That's the fact. It will be very ugly then."
"You mean they're coming to get me?" Wanda Maximoff said.
"We will protect you." Vision, who was sitting next to him, said.
"Maybe Tony is right." Natasha Romanoff spoke, "If we compromise a little, there will still be room for maneuver. If we break up completely..."
"Are you still the same woman who challenged the government a few years ago?" Sam Wilson asked in surprise. He didn't expect Natasha Romanoff to say such a thing.
"I am..." Natasha Romanov thought for a moment and used a more conservative statement, "assess the situation. We made a big mistake in front of the public, and we need to regain their trust."
"Wait a minute." Tony Stark looked at Natasha Romanoff, "I'm sorry, did I hear wrongly? Are you supporting me?"
"I want to regret it," Natasha Romanoff said.
"No, no, it can't be taken back." Tony Stark said.
At this time, Steve Rogers received a text message, the content was very brief, "She passed away in her sleep."
"I have to go." Steve Rogers knew who this "her" was, so he immediately threw the agreement away and left.
After the farewell ceremony for Peggy Carter was completed, Steve Rogers stood alone in the church, but footsteps suddenly sounded behind him.
He turned around and saw Natasha Romanov walking towards him step by step.
"After being thawed, I thought everyone I knew was dead, but then I found out she was still alive." When Natasha Romanoff came to his side, Steve Rogers said, "I just felt like she was still there.
Lucky."
"She is lucky to have you," Natasha Romanoff said.
"Who else signed it?" Steve Rogers asked.
"Tony, Rod, Vision." Natasha Romanoff said.
"Where's Clint?" Steve Rogers asked.
"He said he was retiring," Natasha Romanoff said.
"Where's Wanda?" Steve Rogers asked.
"To be determined." Natasha Romanov said, "I am going to Vienna to sign the Agreement. There are still a lot of empty seats on the plane. Although this is the easiest way, it does not mean it is the wrong way. Unity is better than unity.
more important."
"So what are we giving up for this?" Steve Rogers hasn't changed his mind yet, "Sorry Cortana, I can't sign."
"I know," Natasha Romanoff said.
"Then what are you doing here?" Steve Rogers asked.
"I don't want you to face it alone." Natasha Romanoff gave Steve Rogers a hug.
Once the space darkens, the video ends.
"Is it because of these reasons that I signed the Agreement?" Tony Stark couldn't help but said, "It seems that my eloquence is not very good, and even I can't convince you now."
"Tony, the reason why you agree to sign the agreement in the future is because you have experienced a lot, because the Avengers participated in many battles and caused a lot of collateral damage." James Rhodes will always understand Tony Star best.
One of Gram's heroes, "And now, you haven't experienced anything yet. Even the battle in New York just now didn't cause any casualties because of the space for answering questions."
"Although I retired at that time, I supported the captain." Clint Barton said, "The original intention of the United Nations in asking us to sign the Agreement, which is said to be supervision, is actually to prevent us from hurting innocent people during our actions.
.But with supervision, it is difficult to achieve this goal. The real battlefield changes rapidly and is unpredictable. It cannot be avoided by a group of people sitting in an office and analyzing it in advance."
"Yes, if you really want to avoid casualties, there is no use signing the Agreement." Stephen Strange said, "The only way lies with us. It lies with us front-line combatants who are careful and plan ahead when fighting.
Evacuate in advance.”
"But I think what Tony said is right." James Rhodes said, "Superheroes have no decision-making procedures at all. What they do depends on their own will, which seems to be quite easy to make mistakes."
"If you are worried about this, you can discuss it, but there is no need to sign the Agreement to solve it." Sam Wilson said, "The Agreement says that our actions must be approved by some group before they can be carried out. This is simply a joke. Outside.
The starship has landed in New York, do we still have to wait for those people to hold a meeting to discuss and approve it? By the time they approve it, New York will be finished!"
"It is indeed a joke." Thor laughed. "Those of us are charging forward to fight against the most dangerous things. Those who are hiding behind and enjoying safety have no idea what kind of things the world is facing.
Threat? Supervision? Approval? When Thanos comes to Earth, we go and tell Thanos, buddy, you’ll call back later, we need approval before we can fight you.”
"The weak actually want to give orders to the strong. This is really the biggest joke in the universe." Loki also spoke.
"Although I understand what you mean, what you say is a bit exaggerated." T'Challa said, "I don't think those people are so old-fashioned that they still struggle with the right to approve when they see alien spacecraft flying in the sky."
"T'Challa, don't tell me you agreed to sign this agreement?" Thor said.
"No, I don't agree. Thanos is coming. If we still have to worry about these complicated paperwork, it would be a joke." T'Challa said, "But those people in the video, they are just ordinary people.
I don’t know what kind of threats the world is facing and what kind of enemies the earth will face. I can understand why they would do this.”
"But I don't understand." Loki spoke again, "Because the superheroes caused some accidental injuries when fighting the enemy, they are filled with righteous indignation and are not happy? They have not thought about what would be the consequences if there were no superheroes? The Battle of New York
What would be the consequences if Thor and the Tin Woodman were not around and those bastards were allowed to bomb New York? The superheroes saved a hundred people but they couldn't see it, and they just stared at the accidental injury and refused to let go?
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Loki, and everyone had strange expressions.
You, the guy who single-handedly started the New York War, are actually complaining about the heroes of the New York War?
