Chapter 682 Roaring and Confronting the Future of the United States
"You are back again, Tony Stark! What do you want to do this time?"
Sitting behind a desk, with a pair of small scissors cutting the butts off a cigar. General Ross just stared at Tony and Bruce who rushed through the door, and asked them with interest.
"General Ross, don't you know what you have done yourself?" To the point, Tony pressed the desk as soon as he came in, and said to General Ross in a very oppressive way. "You have created a terrible war machine, a machine that can change the rules of the current battlefield. May I ask, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I thought I answered this question for you last time." Looking at Tony and Bruce with a half-smile, General Ross stopped what he was doing. "I can repeat it to you again and for the last time."
"What I want is for this country to return to its former peace and prosperity. What I want is for those who threaten the stability and unity of this country to be sanctioned and judged. I said, at all costs, right? I should have said These are the words."
"That's why you made these war machines?" Tony slapped the table vigorously, and Tony couldn't help the flame of anger in his heart, and yelled at him. "If it's to heal the country, to bring peace to the country. Then this kind of thing should never be used to achieve your goals. You are starting a war, General Ross. Don't tell me, you made this They are only planted to deal with that city. Can you guarantee that you dare to touch your conscience and say that you will not use them in foreign wars?"
"I can't promise. Besides, why should I promise."
Tony's questioning made General Ross's expression turn cold. He looked at Tony who was furious at him, and suddenly laughed contemptuously.
"You know, Tony Stark. The stupid way you look now makes me laugh. Do you remember what our country was like before all this, before the so-called superheroes ravaged this country? ?”
"If you don't remember, I remember clearly. We are the most powerful country in the world, the overlord of the world. Our fleet spans all oceans, and our military bases can radiate to every Every corner of a country. And our people can walk on top of any country in the world with their heads held high."
"But now! What have we become now?"
The smile suddenly subsided, replaced by an angry growl.
"Look at the state of our country now. We have lost our richest and most iconic city.
Our government and even the military have been criticized and hit hard time and time again. The most frightening thing is that now even our country is about to be separated from this country. Is this still America, is this still the prosperous and powerful America? Tell me your answer, Stark! "
General Ross's anger made him look like an angry lion. But Tony didn't give up much. When it comes to the anger in his heart, he is not inferior to this patriot at all. So at this moment, his appearance is almost exactly the same as him.
"It's all your fault. It's my country. It's the superheroes' country. Do you think we want to see this country? We want it to be better and stronger. But because of you, because of your stupidity and your arrogance, this country is what it is."
"If you hadn't dropped the nuclear bomb stupidly, if you hadn't always been so wary of superhumans with power. If you hadn't been infiltrated to the point where even the vice president was a spy planted by others, how could we have become This is the way it is. It's all your fault, Ross. It's all the fault of you arrogant politicians. And until now, you haven't realized your mistake. Do you really want to bring this country to the abyss of doom? go?"
"Abyss beyond redemption?" Hearing this adjective, General Ross sneered again. He stared at Tony in front of him, as if he was watching a drama actor who was desperately performing on the stage. "Why, do you see yourself as a savior again? Tony Stark, let me tell you, you have never been heroes, and you have no ability to save anyone. If you want to save this country, have you ever thought about it? , this country doesn’t need your rescue at all.”
"The prosperity and power of the country is simply not what you funny clowns can support. What he needs is a strong army and strength, which we have had before, and now we will have them again. Although I don't know you From what channel did you know about the Titan machine, but do you think you can prevent us from using this weapon? Let me tell you, this is simply impossible. Because this is the will of this country."
"This country is rebirthing itself. He is clearing himself of parasites and climbing back to the steps he once stood on. You superheroes, mutants, and so-called gods are all standing in front of him. stumbling block. And we, as the soldiers of this country, the only purpose of existence is to clear you and clear a smooth path for his rise and rebirth. You can't stop us, if you really dare to stand against us , no matter who you are, you will only end in pieces. Do you understand, Tony Stark."
It was not the first time that General Ross, who had said such words to Tony, repeated what he had said, and this time, he was not exhorting, but full of threats and warnings. Hearing such words, Tony was not only not intimidated by him, but even more hostile.
"As I said, I will never sit back and watch this kind of thing. If you are really desperate to start a war, then I will definitely stop you. No matter what the hell you build, I swear, I will destroy them completely. Let your bloody ambition and arrogance come to naught."
"Do you know what you're talking about, Stark?" He slapped the table vigorously, and General Ross stood up abruptly, "Do you know how much resources this country spent to build these things? Do you know that if you put them What does it mean to be destroyed? We have blocked the future of this country on these war machines, and now you are telling me that you are going to destroy them! You are destroying the future of this country."
"Listen, Stark. If you dare to do this, then I promise that no matter where you are or under whomever you are under protection. I will definitely bring you back and put you in a court-martial in front of countless people I will shoot you in front of my face. This is not a joke with you, I always do what I say, do you understand what I mean?"
Hearing this, Tony suddenly fell silent. Naturally, he was silent not because of General Ross' threat, but because of what he said before. If it is said that the U.S. government has really bet all its resources, including the future, on these titanic machines, then destroying them is no longer an easy task.
Just like several large fleets stationed in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean by the United States, if they are destroyed in this way, it is equivalent to a fatal blow to the United States. Because these fleets are not just simple weapons and equipment, they also mean countless financial, political and even military losses. It is conceivable that once they disappear, there will be huge uncontrollable changes in the pattern of the entire world.
That is equivalent to the arm of the United States controlling the world being completely cut off, and his position in the world mountain will also plummet accordingly. The ensuing financial crisis, political changes, and even international pressure may make this country fall into a slump and become a fish under the knife of others, a tragic target for slaughter.
This is by no means alarmist talk, nor is it cranky. After all, he used to be a member of the arms world. For these things, he only needed to think about them, and Tony could quickly come up with a rough result. And it was this result that made him start to feel timid.
He neither wants these damned politicians and crazy patriots to set off a raging war in this world, nor can he watch the future of this country and the destiny of the country collapse with the destruction of those huge machines. He's a superhero and a deep patriot. These two identities that were supposed to complement each other suddenly became opposed at this moment, and it was this opposition that made him fall into blind irritability and entanglement deep in his heart.
what do I do? What should I do? His breathing became short of breath, his eyes became flustered, and Tony, who was full of such questions, felt like he was going crazy.
And his change was quickly noticed by Bruce around him, so he immediately asked with concern.
"What's wrong with you, Tony?"
Shaking his hand, he signaled to Bruce that his current situation was not a problem. Tony opened his mouth again to the rock-like General Ross in front of him.
"Are you so unwilling to admit defeat? General Ross, don't you understand? The world has changed, and doing what you do will only destroy America. Stop, only in this way can we save America."
"Stop? That's simply impossible."
Looking at Tony who was in pain because of the entanglement in front of him, General Ross suddenly laughed.
"It's like a round stone rolling down from the top of a mountain. This kind of thing can't be stopped. Even if we die, he can't stop. This country will be born again in our hands, and no one can stop it Us. If there is, Tony Stark. Then they are the sinners of this country and the culprits who destroyed this country. And you, when the time comes, will be an accomplice, do you understand?"
"It's time for you to make a choice. Time to choose your side, Tony Stark!" (To be continued.)
