Chapter 1901 The Paranoid Crazy Difficult to Rebut

"I didn't accept this identity voluntarily, but someone must inherit our original intention, right?"

Smith Zhou leaned back in his chair, frankly acting as if he was doing his part. But facing his style, Stark immediately sneered.

"So, you told me so many old stories, just to tell me, are you the chosen one? Are you the most qualified ruler?"

"This is not for me to decide, Mister Stark, this is the result that humans really need."

Stretching his face and straightening his waist, Smith Zhou hugged his arms and began to stare at Stark in front of him with a stern look. He seemed to be explaining for himself, but it was more like teaching the man in front of him a lesson.

"Since the first emperor, I have been in self-exile. The success and destruction of my ideals once made me confused, and I didn't know how to go on this road. For this reason, I left my homeland and set foot on the West The land of the world. There, I saw the stupidity of Caesar, the arrogance of Nero, the greed of the pope, and the bad roots that mortal kings can never learn and cannot change."

"Humans, especially those with shallow eyelids. Once in a high position, they are like cancerous existences. They put all their energy on intrigue and competition for each other's interests. As for the future of the human race , They have never been willing to think about the direction of the world."

"It's like this for a generation, and it's been like this for generations. Even those kings and masters who are praised as heroes are no exception."

"But there are always exceptions, aren't they? It's like the kings you admired so much. Since human beings can produce such characters in the past history, they must be able to produce similar outstanding people after that. Such people , wouldn't it be better to be a ruler than you?"

Stark retorted, he was not frightened by Smith Zhou's eyes. In his opinion, all that Smith Zhou said was just an excuse, a reason he found for his own ambition. He didn't mind tearing off this mask, so that his naked true face could be revealed. So his words are very direct.

"Indeed, there will always be such guys among human beings, but they will be more suitable than me. I'm afraid this is not necessarily the case. I have assisted or seen many so-called outstanding people in your mouth, but they still haven't been able to escape a The barriers that an ordinary monarch should have."

"It's like saying that I once beheaded the Celtic god king, snatched the sword of victory from his hand and handed it to the king of Great Britain. Yes, I once assisted him under the name of Merlin, and hoped that he could become the king of Great Britain the status of defeating Rome,

Overthrow the theocracy of Christ and unify the whole of Europe. However, he had ideals but no means, so that he couldn't even control his own knights, and eventually died and the country perished. "

"I once met the prophet in the Middle East as a scholar who held a sword in one hand and a scripture in the other. He was a rare wise man who never lacked wisdom, means, strength, and ambition, but even he did not He can do what I want to see. He is immersed in the dream of being a god for himself. He would rather watch his compatriots kneel at his feet and enshrine him as a god in a foolish way than put himself share their wisdom, so that they have the ability to open up the future."

"Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty in the East, and Louis XIV, the Sun King, these people have disappointed me after all. They may be wise, or wise. However, life, family affection, and various other constraints have made them become that kind of people in the end. Let me down. Power is poison, Mr. Stark. When those people hold the golden cup full of this poison and drink it down, even if they are not affected by this poison for a while, it is inevitable that they will suffer in the long run. Corrupted by this poison. At this point, I can tell you clearly that there are no exceptions. It is precisely because there are no exceptions that I am so disappointed that I have to stand up and take this heavy burden. .”

"No one needs you to take this burden, sir. Times have changed. Now is the era of democracy, and human beings no longer need the rule of those kings you said. We have our own system, we have relied on our own Power for the better. So, we can make our own future without you stepping up, without your so-called gifts. That's not why you do these things Mr. Chow. The things you do It's not for human beings at all, but for yourself. You are satisfying your own selfishness. You are an unreasonable lunatic!"

Smith Zhou's narration made Stark feel a little creepy. He didn't believe that there would be such a terrifying shadow behind the stories he was familiar with, but his reason told him that it was all true. A monster, a ghost from ancient times just entrenched in their history, constantly trying to change the world in its own way. This terrible fact made him worry that he couldn't sleep just thinking about it.

He realized why this guy could do so many horrible things without changing his face. Because he is already crazy, because of the disillusionment of his own ideals, because of the torment of constantly craving but not being able to get it anyway.

Stark understands this feeling, as a man with great ideals would feel in the face of such a cruel reality. But the difference is that this guy is different, because he has accumulated too much power, and this power is enough to overturn the world.

A lunatic is not terrible, what is terrible is that a lunatic holds tremendous power. Stark didn't want to see the world he lived on being led into the abyss by a lunatic, so he could only muster up his courage and try to wake him up.

"The Age of Democracy? Mr. Stark, are you using your gift of humor?"

If he was the kind of person who could be persuaded by a few words, Smith Zhou would not have wandered in this world for thousands of years for an ideal. The long-cherished wish accumulated for thousands of years has already made his heart paranoid enough, and the knowledge brought to him by a long time has made it almost impossible for him to be persuaded. In terms of reasoning, he is no worse than anyone else. So when Stark used democracy as an excuse to argue against him, he laughed at Stark almost immediately.

"Don't talk to me about democracy, Stark. That makes me sick. Don't you know what kind of democracy you people advertise? Power is just another way, and it continues to be kept in a few The so-called dish cooking is nothing more than a hypocrisy of those in power throwing out leftovers. Stupid citizens are immersed in this false illusion without knowing it, and even really think that they have power in their hands. It's ridiculous to the extreme. If power is really in their hands, then why is their blood shed whenever it is necessary, and not those high-ranking capitalists and bureaucrats?"

Smith Zhou's attack on Democracy left Stark speechless. He's a capitalist and a bureaucrat, so of course he knows what a bitch a so-called democracy is. Westerners have used pan cooking as a layer of skin and have worn it on their bodies for two hundred years. They themselves are used to it, and they even really think that this is debauchery. But tearing off this layer of skin, what kind of filth is inside, it is definitely not something that can be turned a blind eye. Some people might actually be able to ignore him, but not Stark. Otherwise, he would not have made such a drastic move to rectify the government and social structure in the country.

But at this time, he couldn't lower his head, because if he lowered his head on this excuse, then he would have no reason to persuade Smith Zhou. Therefore, he could only stiffen his neck and continue to speak to Smith Zhou.

"But we are indeed making progress. Yes, I don't deny that democracy has become a cloak for some people. But you can't deny that there are indeed people in this world who are trying hard to spread the light of democracy to the world. I I didn't do so much for one person's selfish desires, I changed an entire country, and I didn't want to let false illusions blind everyone's lives forever. Admit it, Smith Zhou. Admit that the world doesn't need you To get on the right track and admit that everything you do is unnecessary. The horrible things, the creepy behavior, you have done too much, it's time to stop!"

"What I have to say is, Mr. Stark, you are indeed beyond my expectations. I thought you were just a self-satisfied playboy, even if you became a superhero, it was just for the peacock Show off. I admit that I underestimated you, or I never thought that you would stand up and take over the mess in the United States."

"That's a big trouble. After all, there are too many remnants of the plan. According to the plan, it should be the beginning of the disintegration and separation of the United States, just like the former Soviet Union. But surprisingly, You stopped that and you changed her with an astonishing determination to change her."

"That's why I'm willing to talk to you so much at this time, because I see a quality in you, a unique attribute. Like Steve said, you are a qualified Leader. It's just that you have chosen a wrong path now, and what I hope is that you will not go further and further down this path. You need someone to guide you and lead you back to the right path. "

"And you are that person, aren't you?" Smith Zhou was interrupted, and Stark obviously didn't have any extra affection for him because of his compliments. Because of what he did before and the crimes he committed, it is doomed that he will not have any good feelings for this kind of person.

This is something that can't be changed by mere lofty ideals. No matter how good the ideal is, it is meaningless if the hands are covered with blood. Because the ideal will be stained and faded, and even if it becomes a reality, I am afraid it will only be another completely different look.

Stark knew this very well, so he definitely would not have any interested thoughts about Smith Zhou's guidance. On the contrary, because of his words, he suddenly thought of some other things.

"Also, you should have told that bastard Steve. Did he also believe your crazy words?"

"I did say something similar to Steve, but it's not the same as what you said."

It's not surprising that Stark showed signs of refusal. If he can simply accept his proposal, then Smith Zhou will feel that there is a ghost? It is not so easy to convince a proud and awkward person, so after changing to a more comfortable sitting position, he said this to Stark.

"Steve Rogers, I have known him much earlier than you. I have known him since I was a German officer. Of course, at that time we were on opposing sides. But this does not prevent us from being honest. Let's communicate."

"Exchange what, experience of betrayal and massacre of innocents?"

"Don't get me wrong, Hydra in World War II has nothing to do with me. Hitler was a lunatic, and Schmidt, who took over Hydra except for one of my accidents, was also a lunatic. These two lunatics launched An absolutely stupid war, and for this kind of completely meaningless war itself, I don't have any meaning or idea to participate in it. **And the bad things that Hydra did at that time, don't count it on my head .And my communication with Steve is also very pure."

After waving his hands, Smith Zhou gave a rough outline of their conversation.

"A communication about the future of mankind, about that era, about all the stupid things that humans have committed. Germany in World War II was stupid. He played an evil role and launched a war at the wrong time. It was a war in which the opponents were absolutely wrong. This is beyond doubt, if not for the fact that I was emptied of authority at that time and at the same time lost my strength. Hitler and Schmidt may not have had such a stupid opportunity. But that doesn't mean Germany played the same role before."

"Germany in the First World War cannot be said to be innocent, and it is definitely not a heinous existence. It can only be said that different countries and different forces are fighting each other with the flesh and blood of human beings for their own interests. .And looking back on all the wars in the past, this is almost the case. Justice, evil? It doesn’t matter, interests are eternal. And for interests, the bones of countless people are buried in it.”

"So I asked Steve a question like this. Does he want to continue to be a hero in this kind of war for profit, or do he want to be a different hero for the future of mankind? Of course, I Got the answer I wanted."

"Just because of this, he joined you bloody Hydra and became an executioner with bloody hands? Sorry, I don't believe a word of what you said."

Stark still refused, and this stubborn attitude caused Smith Zhou a headache. He couldn't help but patted his forehead, and asked him with a wry smile.

"You don't believe in these, so what do you believe in? Do you believe in your so-called justice, or do you believe in the intrigue between your governments, intrigues, and even all kinds of ridiculous wars launched for so-called interests? Mr. Stark , don't tell me you don't know anything about all the ugliness of the government, and don't tell me that the wars started by you are so glamorous and magnificent. You treat us as executioners, but what about you yourself? We can still say It's for the ideal, but you are for the so-called interests. Isn't it clear who is higher and who is lower?"
