Chapter 375 Captain America's Deep Routine

When Li Jie and Wade were discussing issues such as the copyright of Deadpool comics, and were still considering how to send Deadpool into the Avengers. On the other side of New York City, it was already crowded with reporters from all over the world.

This is the New York City State Court. Originally on the global stage, the name of this court was not so remarkable, nor did it attract much attention. After all, this is not the International Court of Justice in The Hague, nor the central supreme court of some superpower.

But today, the New York City State Court trumps all the big-name courts. Because the lawsuit about Captain Rogers is open!

This court case, which has attracted attention from all over the world just after the filing, is very simple. It is just that a certain well-known figure told a certain organization that the reason for the prosecution is the infringement caused by the illegal use of his portrait right.

Generally speaking, news of this kind is generally what some entertainment newspapers and media are keen to pay attention to. Suppose the infringed person is very famous, such as a Hollywood superstar, or a first-line player in the NBA. Perhaps current affairs news will mention this matter at the end of their news.

But there has never been a case of this kind that has attracted the attention of thousands of media around the world. From North America to South America, from Europe to Asia. Even South Africa sent a press corps to the United States, just to get first-hand news of the news.

Because the person who was infringed this time is Captain America, and the infringing party is the US military. The protagonist of this scene is enough to attract attention from the beginning.

In the eyes of most people, Captain America and the U.S. military are two sides of one body. The captain is the spokesperson of the military. It is also the idol of countless American soldiers. It can be said that many young people who joined the army chose to join the army because they were influenced by the story of Captain America since they were young.

And this time the captain publicly fell out with the military, how can the global media not be surprised!

Almost the world's most famous media gathered in New York this time. This trial can be said to be the most important trial event in the world since the beginning of the 21st century.

The number of auditoriums in the court is limited, except for the personnel from S.H.I.E.L.D. who accompanied the captain to participate in the trial, as well as the representatives sent by the military. The places that can be accommodated are already very limited.

The media that can enter the scene to observe are almost all the top level in the world. More media can only wait outside the wall for more news from inside.

Thousands of reporters have gathered around the entire New York State Court, and even the New York police and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents need to work together to control the chaotic scene.

Steve Rogers looked extraordinarily handsome in a navy blue suit. And with him is the lawyer responsible for helping him handle the case this time, Daredevil Matt.

"Captain Rogers, may I ask why you sued the US military? Is it purely because of copyright infringement? Or is there something else?"

"Captain! Have you already abandoned your spirit for the dollar?"

"About this lawsuit, Captain, how sure are you that you can win?"

When the reporters saw Captain Rogers coming, they swarmed like vultures smelling carrion. Because before this, Captain Rogers did not make any statements about this case. This also caused a lot of speculation from the outside world.

Captain Rodgers also made his own public statement on the matter for the first time. He stood on the steps and looked at the noisy reporters below who were eager to ask questions, and said in a slow but firm tone: "Everyone has the right to appeal for themselves. Whether this person is a superhero or an ordinary person."

"This country itself should be a country ruled by law. Relying on the law is the most basic guarantee of this country. I know that there are a lot of rumors and speculations about the truth of the incident I reported to the military. A lot of speculation."

Regarding what Captain Rogers said, the U.S. military, especially the Political Propaganda Department, has made great efforts. Overtly or secretly, they wanted to use public opinion to kidnap Captain Rogers, expecting him to drop the lawsuit.

All kinds of black spots and ways of hijacking public opinion and morality emerge in endlessly. For example, as a spiritual symbol of the United States, Captain Rogers should be more magnanimous, and should not betray the national government for personal gain.

This kind of argument that places Rogers on the moral high ground and expects him to put national interests first and give up private interests emerges endlessly. These are all good things done by the Political Propaganda Department.

Regarding this point, Captain Rogers spoke for the first time in front of the global media this time: "This country is not a country of a few people, and the US government should not become a plaything of some people in power."

"The reason why the law is enacted is that it should be the code that every citizen of this country abides by. Regardless of whether it is noble or humble! Nor can the law lose its due effect because of the interference of certain organizations!" Captain Rogers said to Speaking to the global media is not stage fright at all.

He seemed born to be good at it. An excellent orator.

"The outside world has a lot of doubts about me. I just want to say, when every citizen's rights are violated, why use identity to determine whether he is suitable?"

"I have been frozen for 70 years, and I have been away from this world for 70 years. I have been committed to protecting this world, hoping that this world will become more peaceful and beautiful. But back to this era, sometimes I think, maybe I It would be better to die in 1945!" Rogers waved his arms, what did he mean by this sentence? Does he think times are worse than they were?

All the reporters present thought so.

"Those big stars want their private lives. But they have been repeatedly exposed by the paparazzi, and even the safety of their families has been threatened! Am I thinking about these things, right? Countless people have preached on the Internet that, as stars, As public figures, these people should have no privacy. Their lives should be exposed to the spotlight. For everyone to see."

"Doesn't the law give us every citizen the right to privacy? Why don't these people dare to resist? To sue those infringers? Just because they were kidnapped by public opinion! Those people can spy on the privacy of celebrities as a selling point today , You will be able to spy on the privacy of ordinary people tomorrow!" Rogers' speech was extremely provocative. And what he said has actually begun to appear in the modern network society.

"I have heard that some prostitutes were raped on the road with pole dancers. The police refused to accept these cases because they were prostitutes, so it was difficult to judge the authenticity of these cases, so they were all shelved. I want to say , is raping a prostitute less harmful than raping an ordinary woman?" Rogers asked all the reporters.

"This rapist was able to rape a prostitute today without being punished by law! Once he has tasted the sweetness, he can rape your mother and sister tomorrow!"

"When anyone is constrained by their own identity, by public opinion, by various social shackles, unable to speak freely, or even exercise their civil rights, or even suffer some invisible but real discrimination and kidnapping! I'm wondering if all this is really what I want!" Rogers stood on the steps and preached loudly, talking about things that many people dare not speak.

"The formulation of laws is for citizens to have weapons to protect their own rights and interests. Everyone needs to abide by all of this, whether it is ordinary citizens or the makers of laws! When your rights and interests are violated, you should stand up, not simply Hijacked by public opinion and morality. And what I'm doing now, like everything I've done before, I'm just doing something that others want to do but dare not!"

What Rogers said was indeed correct. How many people finally chose to give up their rights because of the kidnapping of morality and public opinion. Let the perpetrator go unpunished, but the victim can only swallow his anger.

"And I hereby announce that my lawsuit with the U.S. military is just a struggle to safeguard the rights that a citizen should have! A struggle for a new era! This should not be bound by my identity. If I still If someone takes me as a role model, then I can tell you now. Now I will teach you how to assert your rights!"

"And this case, if I win the case. I will donate all the compensation of the military, and no penny will go into my pocket. All the money will be used for medical assistance and food assistance for poor families, and for outstanding students. Scholarship," Rogers said at the gate of the court.

"From beginning to end, I just hope that this country, this world will become a better place."

When he turned and walked into the court, the faces of the military representatives who were listening to his speech in the distance turned green. The original kidnapping of public opinion and morality against Rogers by the Political Propaganda Department should have been useful.

Many celebrities will choose to compromise under the pressure of public opinion. But Captain Rogers' willpower is obviously very high, he doesn't care what is said on the Internet at all. Especially after the short film "Everyone is for me, I am for everyone" has been screened all over the world.

Many people realize that superheroes are also mortals, and most of the original condemnation of Captain Rogers has begun to change direction.

Today, many TV stations set up live broadcasts outside the court. Captain Rogers' speech spread all over the world in an instant.

His speech and his final statement that he was not doing it for money, but for practicing the rights of citizens, instantly ignited the fire in many people's hearts. Captain Rogers instantly resolved all the previous attacks on him through a speech, and once again put himself on the moral high ground.

What is wrong with a citizen exercising his rights? ! And he challenged the most authoritative institution in this country! At this moment, almost all the American people who watched the live broadcast sided with Captain Rogers.

Challenge authority and practice the law, which can be recognized by the people at any time. Especially when Captain Rogers, who is a national idol, said such a thing.

Captain Rogers' social platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Weibo, etc. In an instant, he was maxed out by a large group of his fans. All messages of support for him.

Compared with Captain Rogers, representatives of the US military turned green when they heard these speeches. All the previous propaganda of the Political Propaganda Department seemed particularly feeble at this moment.

What is ironic is that Rogers' speech ability was specially cultivated by the military in order to let him go on a national tour. This time it was used by Rogers to attack the military.

For the military, the image of Captain America is extremely critical. You know, the promotion of this image brings them billions of dollars in revenue every year. And this amount of income does not need to be approved by the Congress budget, and it is a discretionary income.

Under the supervision of members of the US Congress, who knows where the money was finally used by the military. Many programs that the military cannot disclose and cannot be passed by Congress need the support of this money.

In addition to money, there is also a very important image of Captain Rogers. Today's war requires higher and higher quality soldiers. And high-quality soldiers have always been hard to find.

Cap's promotional image has always been a card in the hands of the U.S. military, and many of Cap's fans choose to enlist for this reason.

But now is the most important season of conscription every year, in order to maintain global military bases and global dominance. There are always not enough soldiers that the military needs. This led to many originally unqualified soldiers, for example, some guys with criminal records also mixed into the army.

Now because of the problem of the US team case, the current conscription has become more difficult. Many people have a hesitant attitude towards the military. "Even the captain's money has been blacked out. If I die in battle, I'm afraid that the army may black out my pension too." Many people expressed such views. This puts the U.S. military in an embarrassing situation.

Compared with the military, the government representatives who are joint defendants seem to be very relaxed.

"I think I probably know what the captain wants to do." The White House representative said.

"What did you guess?" asked the representative of Congress.

"We may have underestimated Captain Rogers. He is not only an excellent war commander, but also an excellent politician. He can always use roundabout means to achieve his goals." The representative of the White House smiled laugh.

"for example?"

"For example, in this incident, it seems that he sued the US military and us on the grounds of infringement." The White House representative pointed to himself.

"But this is a roundabout strategy. I know that SHIELD is having a hard time recently. Because Congress cut more than half of their budget, I heard that the new director is even considering reducing the benefits of agents."

In fact, it is not considered, but has been implemented.

"Congress cut S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget as an excuse, apart from the shortage of funds, the most important thing is the protest of the generals in the Pentagon." The representative of the White House said so, and the representative of Congress nodded.

"In fact, the generals in the Pentagon have long been displeased with S.H.I.E.L.D. It has a super high budget, but the number of personnel is so small. Uneven distribution is their biggest contradiction."

Now the representative of the congress instantly understood what the other party said: "So you mean that the captain used this method to force the military to let go?"

"That's right! He just repeatedly mentioned the kidnapping of public opinion and morality, which seems to be talking about himself. Is he actually reminding the military? Compared with individuals, Congress, the president, and even the military are the ones who can't bear it. The party under the pressure of public opinion! The reversal of public opinion is enough for the Congress to reshuffle the cards!" The representatives of the Congress broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

"You mean the captain is actually using this method to force Congress to pass the S.H.I.E.L.D. budget?"

The White House representative shrugged: "Believe it or not, as long as the military does not let go and Congress does not approve the SHIELD budget plan, this case will not be closed. The influence of Captain Rogers, as long as he is ruthless, is enough to impress The flipping of public opinion in this country. The military and the government spent seven decades building his image, and now it's his most powerful weapon."

"But, but he is Captain America! How could he go against the US government?!" The congressional representative was still a little shocked.

The representative of the White House looked at the scale sculpture symbolizing fairness on the roof of the New York State Court and said: "He is Captain America, but he is not the captain of the US government! Captain Rogers has a noble purpose, but he is not a lackey of the government. He has always They are all working hard for this country, not for a certain political party! When there are differences of opinion, in fact, those big men can't influence him at all."

"Isn't he afraid of making too much trouble, and he won't be able to end the whole thing in the end?" The Congress representative still had difficulty digesting these thoughts.

"Why should he worry about how it ends? How it ends has nothing to do with him. It is the military and the government that need to clean up this mess." The White House representative shook his head.

"I suddenly felt that it might be a good choice for Captain Rogers to become the President of the United States one day. He has courage, determination, and ideas. And he will never simply compromise on things that are not right."

"It seems that you are a fan of Captain Rogers." The representative of Congress smiled.

"Maybe, this time the case will be very interesting. At least the military has too much power now. Billions of dollars are lost every year. It should be taken care of." The White House representative said with a smile.

Representatives of Congress did not express any rebuttal. Perhaps the government and the military are not as monolithic as outsiders have speculated.
