Chapter 1089: Crazy Ideas, Shocking
What is the relationship between mutants and superpowers and public opinion, and what is the relationship with financial groups? This point makes ordinary people maybe only confused and unclear. But in the eyes of an insider like Maria Hill, this kind of thing is like a line drawn on a white paper, and the clarity cannot be more clear.
The wind vane of public opinion is to crack down on all existences with super powers, and this will not change. Although, due to external threats and lack of self-confidence, most of the public opinion now praises those positive and decent mutants and superheroes, and even their words are so numb that they are about to be described as saviors. But in fact, this is just a bluffing appearance.
Public opinion is a weapon in the hands of the rich and powerful of the consortium. Even though the existence of the Internet makes things like public opinion beyond the control of those powerful and powerful to a certain extent, in general, they can still make the overall public opinion of the society move in accordance with own thoughts run. The method is also very simple, that is, to use money to smash it and use power to suppress it.
It is impossible for the dignitaries who are masters to tolerate anything in this world that can threaten their own existence. And using the power and wealth in their hands to suppress such an existence is really common and familiar to them. Therefore, even under the current situation, he temporarily restrained his minions, and showed a kind smile to those mutants and superpowers. But as long as they have the opportunity, they will definitely unceremoniously remove all existences that threaten them.
Maria Hill knew very well that once the current limelight passed. In other words, Hydra, the great enemy of mankind, was wiped out. Then these guys will definitely turn their guns around and target all mutants and superpowers. So at this time, she really had to admit that Tony's idea was very creative.
What she thought at first was that Tony's public opinion war was the same as the previous methods, and it was based on ordinary people. If that's the case, she is really not optimistic about this plan. Because even if they are the rulers of this country, it is impossible to compete with the power of the consortium, and once a public opinion war starts, they will soon be completely crushed by the opponent. That would not be worth the candle, and might even cause big trouble.
But if it starts with mutants and superpowers, then things are different.
First of all, the first and most important point is that mutants and superpowers are not at the mercy of the consortium. Compared with ordinary people who can be threatened in various ways by the consortium, these mutants and superpowers have almost no worries in this regard. Of course, if you are a masked superman like the little spider before, who goes to work during the day and acts chivalrously at night, then you have to say something else.
But generally speaking, the consortium cannot control this kind of crowd. This is also what they are afraid of. If they can control them like ordinary people, they will not want to deliberately suppress them. They will even flatter them in turn. No other reason, just because they are too powerful.
If you can hold them in your hands, it is almost equivalent to mastering the entire world. This is a temptation that no one can refuse, even the rich and powerful who are already masters.
Of course, this is impossible. In fact, in Maria Hill's view, any being with extraordinary power would not want to be driven like a dog. Therefore, those people would think of suppressing and destroying as their goals, rather than taking over and buying as their goals. Under this premise, Tony's suggestion is definitely promising.
Not to mention those superpowers who fight alone, there are wise men with sufficient long-term vision and judgment in the collective of mutants alone. People like Charles can definitely see the malice hidden behind those people. And if these mutants can really be led to the opposition of those consortiums, then as long as the actions of the military system are suppressed, the outcome will be known immediately.
I can't guarantee anything else, but as the controller of the government, Maria Hill has absolute confidence in controlling the army. General Ross is stuck in the Ministry of Defense like a nail. Even if the consortium has some private connection with the Ministry of Defense, it is impossible to get around him. And even if the army is out of control, as Tony said, they still have omnics to control the entire army.
Thinking about it this way, Tony's method really doesn't have any major problems. And if he really followed his plan, then there was only one prerequisite that needed to be resolved.
"How do you plan to incite public opinion among mutants and those with superpowers? There is no direct communication channel between us and them!"
Maria Hill asked the central question of the plan. She knew very well that in the eyes of those mutants and superpowers, the government she represented was not a pleasant guy.
In fact, the US government has always been a natural enemy in the eyes of mutants. All kinds of persecution and targeting are basically carried out under the leadership of the US government. Although it is said that a large part of the reason was kidnapped by the interests of the US government and consortia at that time, and was controlled by Hydra. But the injured mutants can't control these. In their view, all of this should be the fault of the US government.
Although now because of Tony's coming to power and the reorganization of the government, their attitude towards the US government has changed slightly. But the most basic impression is impossible to reverse in such a short period of time. They must be wary of their own group, and under such circumstances, it is simply impossible to contact them and start a public opinion war.
Maria Hill had been brewing in her mind for a long time, but she couldn't come up with a feasible solution. So she could only look at Tony to see if the advocate who proposed the idea could come up with an eye-catching solution. In this regard, Tony obviously has a secret plan.
"I heard that Phil Coulson has a good relationship with mutants like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, right?"
"You know, Coulson can get along with anyone. I think he can even be friends with Professor Charles directly if you want!"
On this question, Maria Hill answered very directly and quickly. Coulson's ability to make friends is beyond compare. It can be said that as long as you are not the kind of complete enemy, after getting along with Coulson for a period of time, you will treat him as a friend.
This is a special charisma, and it is also a manifestation of Coulson's own ability. The reason why he was placed in the special position of the Sky Hammer Bureau, rather than being taken over by the former boss Nick Fury, is to allow him to use his special ability to handle the disputes with other countries. relation. At this point, neither Tony nor Maria Hill firmly believed that Coulson could do better than anyone else.
But at the moment, when Tony mentioned Coulson, Maria Hill immediately frowned, and asked Tony unexpectedly.
"You want Coulson to help you break the deadlock? But Coulson has no connection with the mutants! And with him alone, how could he incite public opinion and make the mutants act according to our plan? Is it a bit too idealistic?"
Facing Maria Hill's questioning, Tony waved his hand directly, interrupting what she was about to say.
"You and I have seen Coulson's ability for all to see. I am very relieved of him. And in this matter, I have no intention of giving him any impossible task. My only request is to let him As my messenger, tell Professor Charles and Magneto what I mean!"
"Let Coulson tell them that if they are willing to help me secretly and help me encourage mutants to target those consortium forces, then when we completely eradicate those cancerous tumors, I will thoroughly develop all policies for mutants when."
"I will promise all mutants the same thing that President Lincoln promised to give blacks freedom, equality and all rights, and they will get the same thing! As long as they want, they can completely live like a normal person in any part of the United States A place. The laws of the United States will protect their rights, and I will write this promise into the Constitution. As long as they are willing to cooperate with us!"
This categorical tone and the huge price represented in his words made Maria Hill's color change in horror even if she was mentally prepared enough. At this time, she suddenly realized that the scale of what Tony wanted to do was much bigger than what she had thought before. He imagined this seemingly simple public opinion war according to the idea of breaking everything in the Civil War back then, and if things really went in the direction he imagined, then the situation would really get out of hand.
At this time, Maria Hill had to admit that she was indeed getting a little scared in her heart. She was worried about the consequences of Tony's inability to control the situation, and worried about what kind of ending would happen if they failed in the end.
It would be such a terrifying sight that just as Maria Hill started to let go of her thoughts, she couldn't help trembling and stopped. She didn't dare to imagine such a thing, so immediately, she couldn't help but said to Tony.
"Are you crazy? If you make such a big fuss, once it gets out of control, all of us will be finished!"
