Chapter 240 Absurd Reason

(There will be another update later)

The meeting with Tony Stark was still held in the Stark Industries Building. Tony just flew back from Washington in his steel armor.

He looked a little tired. "Peppa, I'm a little hungry, get me some biscuits and bread." There was an undisguised tiredness in Tony's voice.

"It looks like you're tired." When Li Jie came to Tony's office, Tony was listlessly eating biscuits and drinking milk.

"Yes, very hungry and very tired." Tony's voice was a little dry. I don't know if it was because his throat was too dry from eating biscuits, or because he talked too much overnight.

"I went to Congress to persuade those people to hold a special hearing. I have prepared everything." Tony put down the biscuit as he spoke. Although he was very hungry, his appetite was not very high.

"Even saying I hope they can call a new UN General Assembly to give me a chance to right my mistakes."

Li Jie knew that Tony was depressed now when he heard Tony's dry voice. "But it didn't work out, did it?"

"Yeah, it didn't work out." Tony's vocal cords hurt a little, because he made too many comments and arguments tonight.

Pepper Pepper, who had a falling out with Tony before, stood aside, looked at Tony's haggard look and shook his head unbearably.

"People in Congress are too stubborn. I used to believe too much in my ability to control things and have too much confidence in this government." Tony took a sip of milk to moisten his throat.

"It's all about me being proven wrong now, they don't want to share the benefits of the moon with anyone. Not even a little bit."

Li Jie walked to Tony's side and sat opposite him.

"I'm trying to avoid escalating the situation, but you know it's difficult. Especially after Russia started attacking Latvia."

"The situation of the war has begun to change. Russia's frontline positions have been beaten and retreated. Latvia has begun to gather troops to prepare to counterattack Russia." The battle situation is changing every moment. After Li Jie went to Kamateki and During the period of the ancient one's conversation. The whole situation began to change again.

And Tony Stark seems to have obtained first-hand information. After all, he still has many friends in the military, and his contacts are still very extensive.

"Russia has already surrounded five divisions. It seems that Dum is preparing to fight a war of annihilation. The latest situation is that Russia has now lost nearly 20,000 troops."

"And the several border cities that were originally occupied have been lost, and the flames of war have begun to spread to Russia." Tony drank the remaining milk in the cup in one gulp.

"Russia has now assembled more than 600,000 troops in the direction of Europe. Although the number is larger than Dum's army, the equipment is too poor." Tony said and turned his head to Pepper.

"Now Congress requires me to reopen the arms manufacturing department. Because Russia's weapons and equipment may not be able to support such a war, Congress expects private companies to sell weapons to Russia in a commercial manner, but the money may come from other five permanent countries."

"No! Tony. As you said, you never want to continue to be an executioner." Pepper clearly rejected such a request from Congress.

Li Jie was also thinking that these old men in Congress really don't care about making things worse.

Or did they feel humiliated because they found out that they underestimated Latvia's behavior and were slapped in the face, so they must get the place back?

"Yes, I clearly rejected this request. They also sent a message to the Osborne Group." The new news from Tony made Li Jie a little nervous. He didn't know how Harry would choose to face this situation. kind of thing.

"I underestimated the young chairman of the Osborne Group before, and Harry Osborne quickly rejected Congress' plan to support Russia in combat." Hearing Tony's words, Li Jie felt relieved.

"In this case, the plan of the Congress may be hindered." Li Jie felt a little better.

"Not necessarily, our two arms groups are not the only ones in the United States. You must know that Hanmo Military Industry and a recently emerging arms company are eyeing such orders. Although their weapons are not comparable to Stark Group or Austrian Compared with the Siben Group." Tony shook his head and denied.

"Now the six countries have held a new meeting again, and now the war has begun. It is impossible to stop regardless of the outcome, especially in the case of Russia." Tony refers to Russia's strongman president, he can Not one to throw in the towel.

"I even heard rumors that the strongman prime minister uttered threats. If the other five permanent members do not support Russia, he will use nuclear weapons to win the war." Tony's face trembled a few times, while Pepper He gently covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.

"As you know, he always walks the talk in war." Li Jie understood what Tony said.

"Is he really going to press the nuclear button?" Li Jie was still a little suspicious.

"I don't know, but no one dares to take the risk, because everyone knows what it means to turn on the nuclear button." Tony said.

"And I want to tell you even worse news." Tony was going to bring all kinds of bad news today.

"I heard that the Security Council is having urgent consultations. About the S.H.I.E.L.D. fall in New York. Maybe they need to find someone to take the blame."

In fact, Li Jie had already guessed it when he saw the toppled national flag in the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. The political significance of this matter is too deep.

"Although I don't like Nick Fury very much, I don't think it's a good idea to find someone to replace him at this stage. However, the internal struggle in the Security Council is also very fierce. Many people are eyeing the position of the director of the SHIELD. In the future, God I don't know what will happen to the Shield."

Li Jie's mood began to sink when he heard the news. "The fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. tonight is probably largely due to the capture of Hydra, but this plan failed due to various errors."

Li Jie briefly told Tony about Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.

"So if Nick Fury really leaves S.H.I.E.L.D., then S.H.I.E.L.D. may no longer be able to believe it." This is Tony's conclusion.

This bad conclusion made Tony even more irritable, and he tried to change the subject. "Do you have any more news about Doom?"

"Now I got the most suspicious news about the City of the Dead." Li Jie also told Tony the news he got.

"Wait, you mean where the souls of the dead go?" Tony seemed to think of something after listening to Li Jie's narration.

"I once heard Charlize, a scientist I sponsored, say that King Dum of Latvia was his former classmate." Tony stroked his beard and thought.

"Dom once wanted to fund Charlize's research, but there was a ridiculous condition. He wanted Charlize to resurrect his mother."

"If everything you said, Nightcrawler, is true, then Doom's purpose may be absurd, but it can be explained." Tony's words made Li Jie's eyes light up.

On the other side of New York, Captain Rogers, who had just escorted the prisoner back to his cell, received a summons from Commander Hill.

"Captain, Director Nick needs to see you now, right away!"
