Chapter 1027 Public Opinion Building Momentum Interest Exchange
A watchman, at first, refers to a person holding a torch and a horn in his waist, guarding on the city wall, guarding against any possible danger.
They are the first to see danger and the first to face it. And to hang such a name on a superhero, and to use the power of the government to build momentum for him, it is almost equivalent to pushing this existence to a high altar, and naturally giving him legal authority. sanctity and authority.
And this is obviously something that leaders of many countries are unwilling to accept. Not just unwilling to accept, it can even be said to be a heartfelt resistance.
"Your Excellency Stark, don't you think your proposal is a bit outrageous?"
"There is an old saying in our country called the teacher who never forgets the past! It means don't forget the lessons of the past. Whether it is the example of Captain America you used, or the Dawn Knight who once had countless admirers , their incidents tell us a truth. That is, once the so-called superheroes have too much influence in public opinion, they will turn around and hold the government hostage in the end, and become a situation that cannot be dropped. So I firmly oppose it. Your proposal."
A heavyweight figure was the first to raise the voice of opposition, and this immediately attracted a echo. Many of them are people with the same thoughts, and more of them are the inevitable flattery for a big country of this weight.
With the decline of the power of the United States, the demise of the two developed countries of Japan and the United Kingdom, the overall strength of Europe has declined, and the most powerful country on the entire earth has appeared in the East. And for this country that has always claimed to rise peacefully and has not suffered too much setbacks in such disasters at all, even if Tony is a million unwilling, he has to admit that he has become the loudest voice in the entire earth. strength.
In the face of this voice, he who inherited the previous earth hegemony had no choice but to restrain his usual domineering character, and tried to persuade him with nice words.
"Sir, I know what you are worried about. But at this time, we don't have much choice, don't we? People all over the world are in panic. The west coast of our country, as the heartland of the country, has countless workers Work has been suspended, and they are timidly huddled in their homes, just because they are worried that what happened in the UK will happen to them. Not only our country, but also Europe, Canada, and Australia. I think your country should also be like this ...isn't Japan closer to your country than England is to the United States? Isn't the chaos it brings more serious?"
When he said this, Tony really showed his sincerity. But for some reason, he saw a trace of embarrassment and indescribable weirdness on the face of the big man opposite.
Now that the matter is up to now, the boss is also embarrassed to hide something, otherwise he really has no reason to insist on his opinion in this situation.
So he had no choice but to tell the situation in his own country.
"Well, the situation in our country is actually good. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are happy and healthy. They are not troubled by the current international situation at all. So what you said is not true at all."
Tony didn't believe a word of that. More than 100 million people died. You said that your country has not been affected, how is this possible. Are all people in your country blind? Do journalists in your country eat dry food? So he immediately asked angrily.
"Sir, are you kidding? The whole world was shaken by this disaster, and you actually told me that the people in your country have not been greatly affected by this. The journalists in your country are writing with their eyes closed. Is it news?"
"Ugh! It's not wrong for you to say that. After all, our country's news control work has always been very good. We usually broadcast this kind of negative news that will affect social order. In addition, now Gossip news is popular in our country, so this kind of thing is really..."
The boss is a little bit speechless on this issue. Although this kind of control and weird atmosphere in the news is a good thing seriously, it is really hard to talk about it in front of other countries.
And such an answer really made Tony feel powerless. On the one hand, I don't believe these lies, but on the other hand, I can't help but start worrying about what consequences these ridiculous words will bring if they are true. He had already heard what the boss meant under all kinds of excuses, that is, he was not willing to participate in their plan at all. And without the support of the most powerful country in the world today, how effective will their plan be?
Thinking of this, Tony immediately cheered up, chose to change to another angle, and continued his lobbying.
"Sir. I know what you are worried about. You are worried that you will be like the United States once, and you will be panicked by the social unrest stirred up by traitors like Steve Rogers. At this point, I can tell you Guaranteed, Earth Watcher will not be the same as Rogers."
"And when we flaunt him, we only flaunt his behavior, not his character. Rogers can stir up such a big wave, and even damage the prestige of the government, because we have admired him too much in the past seventy years. The American spirit. And this time, we won't make that mistake. We'll just talk about the facts. As long as we can calm down this situation. We reverse the public opinion in our hands and rein in the restrictions on these superheroes. It's like As your country often says, everything is just for expediency."
It can be seen that Tony really racked his brains in order to quell this potential hidden danger in the social order. But for his statement, the boss still didn't mean to nod easily.
"Your Excellency Stark, let me just say it straight. In order to control your domestic situation, possible negative situations may appear within our country. This is something that is detrimental to our country's interests. Although looking at the current international situation, I can Do it. But I don’t think we need to do it. After all, our country has never had anything to do with superheroes, and you don’t have enough interests to convince us to do it.”
It is simply impossible for countries to only talk about friendship. Only interests are the foundation of dialogue between major powers, and only interests are the prerequisite for establishing cooperative relations between countries.
If it is said that when the sword of Damocles, the Galactus, hangs high above the head, countries can still abandon their previous suspicions and share their voices. Then when the long sword disappeared, this kind of cooperation between countries immediately changed back to the previous situation of naked exchange of interests.
It can be said that this is taking advantage of the fire, almost growing brightly to seek benefits from these countries that urgently need the power of public opinion to quell social chaos. But in the eyes of the leaders of these countries headed by Tony, this is a very good signal.
For decades of keeping a low profile, it is finally a big country that stands at the top. Only with a certain degree of interest exchange and control is the most reassuring thing for them. If it's just a verbal promise, I'm afraid they will doubt in their hearts that it can play a limited role.
Not afraid of him opening his mouth, but afraid of his not opening his mouth. This is a consensus now among the Western alliances that have blocked the country for decades. It's hard to imagine that the situation will be reversed like this, but you have to bow your head to everything about this reversal in the face of reality.
People have to look forward and keep their feet on the ground. So Tony didn't have any hesitation at all, and directly set out his own conditions.
"Japan has become the past, and our economic exchanges with Japan have been completely cut off. Therefore, we can re-establish this economic relationship on several ports on the mainland. In order to maintain the interests between our two countries contacts."
"With the same economy and trade as Japan?"
The big guy said. Japan and the United States have always maintained a trade surplus of tens of billions of dollars per year. If this trade relationship is transferred to the country, in terms of domestic productivity, it will obviously be improved to a higher level. And this also means that the trade loss of the United States will be even greater.
Tony was unwilling to accept this kind of thing, but he knew that he had to accept it at this time. So he could only grit his teeth and promise.
"Yes. For details, we can have a formal discussion through a diplomatic meeting."
"So, what about Japan itself?"
The boss's words made Tony's heart tremble immediately. He has been holding the orphan of the Japanese royal family in his hands, in order to re-support Japan in East Asia and let the United States regain its spokesperson in East Asia. But now, the boss's words made him have to give up this idea.
Compared with the interests of the homeland, the importance of peripheral forces is not so important. So he could only grit his teeth and made his promise.
"I will hand over the orphans of the Japanese royal family to the past. I will also propose that Japan's reconstruction work be handed over to your country."
"Then it's decided. It's a deal, Lord Stark!"
The negotiation has reached this point, and the boss is already satisfied. Seeing the change in his face, Tony immediately asked.
"So what is your country's handling of public opinion?"
"Don't worry, Lord Stark. I'll make arrangements now! Tonight's Central News will broadcast in detail the major events that happened in Japan and the United Kingdom. At the same time, we will also devote a special section to the superhero you proposed , to introduce it in detail. I can assure you that even if we prolong the time of the central news that has not changed for decades, it will spread the public opinion you requested.”
"That's good, so we can rest assured."
Tony let out a long breath, feeling like a big rock had fallen in his heart. However, if he knew the status of a certain news in the hearts of the majority of the people, would he regret it? This matter, I am afraid that many people have the answer in their hearts. It's just that the person concerned himself is afraid that he will be kept in the dark forever.
