Chapter 1902 Complicated Family Affairs and Annoyed Ultimatum
"Is it superior? Is this something that can be seen at a glance?"
It feels like Stark is agreeing to Smith Zhou's statement, but in fact it is not. He made such a conversation, and immediately laughed unceremoniously.
"One is to play tricks on the basis of the bottom line and intrigue within the prescribed scope. I admit that this is dirty, but in any case, it is better than slaughtering innocent people wantonly under a bright banner, and putting The act of disaster and fear covering any place is more noble. At the very least, we didn’t let more people bleed, and at the very least, we didn’t let those women and children drown in blood!”
"That sounds good, Mr. Stark. But I don't know if you have thought about the innocent civilians in the war in the Middle East when you said this. If I remember correctly, this war was first started by you Americans And the innocent victims of this war, the innocent women and children, don't tell me they don't exist."
Stark can speak confidently, but the identity and position he represents cannot be equally firm. The wars that have occurred since the 21st century have either been initiated by the Americans or led behind them. For the sake of the so-called hegemony and interests, the roles they played were really not glorious. And precisely because of such a disgraceful identity, no matter how righteous Stark behaves, he will inevitably feel a little flawed.
Unless Stark can shamelessly say that the messy things done by the previous American governments have nothing to do with his new government, otherwise he will naturally not be able to stand upright and not be afraid of the shadow. And for him to say this, unless he can change the name of the United States of America to something else, it is basically impossible.
Changing the dynasty, Stark, who has a patriotic complex, obviously cannot do such a thing. So in the face of Smith Zhou's remarks, he could only murmur, speaking in a tone that he didn't even believe.
"It's different. It was just an accident, we didn't want that to happen."
"Have you never thought about it, or don't you care?" He pointed out the real problem very bluntly. In this matter, Smith Zhou did not leave any face for Stark and his country at all.
"Different races, different countries, and different religious beliefs have made you never take the life and death of the people of those countries in the Middle East into consideration from the very beginning. Perhaps at the beginning, you did not think about it, Things will get so bad. But when things have evolved to this point, your reaction has already shown that you don't care about their life or death at all."
"It's not Americans anyway, it's a bunch of pagans anyway, and when they die, they die.
This is the original sin of weakness, just like when you disintegrated Yugoslavia. Perhaps out of so-called humanitarian considerations, you will have a little sympathy for those innocent civilians. But after the terrorist resistance of the Green Christians began, I think even this little sympathy probably disappeared. "
"So, you started to promote the war without any scruples, making the war intensified. If it is profitable, you can't wait to let the Middle Easterners shed every drop of blood in their bodies. As for the revenge of the Middle Easterners, anyway, after The Atlantic Ocean can’t be burned on you. The CIA and FBI can almost solve the small troubles. And the big troubles, aren’t all the European allies taking care of you? This is a disguised version of my treat, You foot the bill. I think to this day, all of Europe should be grateful to you Americans for your generosity."
Having said that, Smith Zhou glanced at Stark with mocking eyes, successfully making him feel ashamed. Then he smiled slightly, and said to Stark in a slowed down tone.
"From this point of view, there seems to be no difference between us. So it doesn't make sense for you to dwell on this issue, Mr. Stark."
"It's not the same, it's different after all!" Although Stark was so refuted that he couldn't fight back, he still insisted, unwilling to accept Smith Zhou's point of view.
This kind of stubbornness was such a headache that Smith Zhou couldn't help standing up, walked behind him, clung to his shoulder like a wraith, and questioned him in a low voice.
"What is different? Just because you are the United States, a powerful country that once held hegemony, and my Hydra is just a terrorist organization in your eyes, do you think this is different? Don't be naive, Shi Tucker. We are all about the means to the end. If you need this kind of justice, then I can set up a decent regime now. You know, I have this strength. Although it is not a big deal meaning, but if this is your request, I have no objection."
"Is it really worth doing this for me?"
Stark is a little hard to understand. He admits that his value is extraordinary, but Smith Zhou is obviously willing to bet more expensive chips for him. He doesn't have to do this, because the current situation is obviously more advantageous for him. Although some don't want to admit it, but under the premise that he has exposed so many inside stories and he has such a powerful force, Stark no longer thinks that their alliance, which is almost on the verge of collapse, will be the opponent of such a monster up.
Victory is already within reach. Under such a premise, is it so important to him whether he can get his own surrender?
Regarding this question, Smith Zhou answered in the affirmative.
"Of course, Mr. Tony Stark. You seem to be unsure of your own value. At this point, I can tell you exactly that the value you possess is immeasurable."
"As I say of Steve. I think he's the necessary forerunner of the future, the kind of guy who holds up the fire like Prometheus. And you, Stark. I think you To have another potential, an ability to structure the world, to make it better and better. You shouldn't bury your ability in the business you're doing today, it's dying, it's going to be in my And I don’t want you to perish together with these doomed things, that would be too wasteful. So, I hope you can think about it carefully, and give me and yourself a chance to turn to the bright.”
Smith Zhou's words silenced Stark. Not only because of his importance, but also because of the meaning behind what he said. According to him, with the rising tide of anger, he can certainly choose to be the type of person who goes ashore. But if he didn't choose to do so, then I'm afraid that being submerged with the tide would be his only end.
Life or death, a matter of words. But it is not so easy to say this sentence.
Smith Zhou could understand how difficult this choice was, so he patted Stark on the shoulder and set his sights on the stairs of the mansion.
Wearing a tight black dress, even gloves and a hat with a gauze covering the face, Zhou Lan walked down with a group of women indifferently. Looking at their colors, it seems that they are not going to travel far away, but to attend someone's funeral.
This kind of grand treatment really made Smith Zhou smile bitterly. Obviously, this is a different type of resistance led by someone. It's harmless, but it's just to stab you like this. Such behavior can only make him sigh in his heart, the eyes of a woman's heart are really no bigger than the tip of a needle.
Of course, thinking about it in his heart, he would not point out this fact clearly. After all, as the de facto winner, he still has such a bit of guts. So he just twitched the corner of his mouth a little, and said to Zhou Lan and the others with his smile unchanged.
"It seems that you are ready. If so, we should be able to go on the road."
"Are you in such a hurry because you want to hurry up? You bastard!" Zhou Lan, who was holding her daughter's arm in her arm, was still not very polite when speaking, but it could be seen from her attitude that she would probably treat Smith Zhou in the future. This face is gone.
A day or two is something that can be tolerated temporarily, but if it takes a long time, it will definitely be against my nerves. Smith Zhou obviously didn't want to cause such a big trouble for himself, so he immediately said this to Zhou Lan in a proposing tone.
"Alan, I admit that I didn't do so well in some negative aspects, but anyway, we are also a family, aren't we? We are family members, not enemies, so can your attitude change a little bit? .”
"You're right. You really shouldn't have such an attitude towards your family."
Nodding her head, Zhou Lan looked easy to speak. But in an instant, she raised her eyebrows and said to Smith Zhou in a rhetorical tone.
"But when I think of a certain bastard persecuting a group of us women with despicable means, and when I think that I will face his annoying face every day from now on, I get angry. You say, should I If it makes him uncomfortable, should I make myself uncomfortable?"
"Just as long as you're happy." It didn't matter, Smith Zhou could only be resigned to surrender. And looking at his soft appearance, Zhou Lan immediately seemed to have won the battle, and Gu Panxi became elated.
Although it doesn't help, this is their small victory after all. The women used this method to soothe their little uneasiness, and at this time, they obviously also noticed the existence of Stark.
For Stark, few of the women present had very good senses. The so-called cronies of their own men, in their eyes, are undoubtedly the most appropriate for Stark. However, even such a Stark is much better than a guy with ulterior motives like Smith Zhou. In addition, Stark has an extraordinary friendship with Zhou Yi, so Ada immediately said this to Stark.
"Stark. You really were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Shall I say you were unlucky with a fellow like that?"
"I don't have a choice, Ada. I must take responsibility for the safety of my wife and children."
Stark spread his hands and showed a wry smile, but Zhou Lan, who had known him for more than ten years, turned his head and questioned Smith Zhou like this.
"It's fine for you to deal with Ah Yi, but now you don't even plan to let his friends go?"
She intentionally wanted to rescue Stark, but this time, Smith Zhou obviously didn't intend to obey her.
"Sorry, Alan. This is a business matter. Mr. Stark needs to make a decision, and it is really not suitable for you to intervene too much in this decision."
After refusing, he seemed to feel that what he said before was a bit too blunt, which was not conducive to easing the relationship with them, so he immediately slowed down his tone and spoke to them gently.
"Okay, everyone. I think you're all ready. If that's the case, let's go. I've prepared a great place for you. Believe me, you'll just feel at home there, Just as comfortable as staying in your own home.”
"Wait, Shane hasn't come back yet!"
The women weren't just procrastinating. The main reason why it took so long was that, as the family's monkey, Zhou Shang hadn't been seen for almost a day.
Those things that happened before made the women busy in stabilizing the order of the city. They didn't notice that the leather monkey in their house had already slipped away in the dark. And when they finished their work and returned home, they just thought that the little devil had gone out to play crazy again.
They took it for granted that the little guy would come back at meal time, but what they didn't expect was that the plague god Smith Zhou was the one they waited for first. Under pressure, they were faced with a difficult decision, should they let Zhou Shang escape from Smith Zhou's clutches, and let themselves be here in fear? Or take him with you and personally ensure his safety.
After thinking about it, the women still felt that no matter what happened to Smith Zhou, he wouldn't be able to reach the point of being a tiger's poisonous eater, so they chose the latter. As for their choice, Smith Zhou obviously had other ideas.
As one of the few people who can really occupy some weight in his heart, Smith Zhou is obviously not ready to appear in front of Zhou Shang with his current image. He didn't do it sooner or later, but he chose this time. In addition to the favorable time and place brought by Domamu, another reason was that he knew that Zhou Shang was not here at the moment.
The little guy who was trying to find a way to inherit his father's business is now busy fighting fires in New York, and he couldn't get away at all, and it was precisely because of this that he hadn't come back yet.
This fell right into Smith Zhou's arms, so he said this to the women without hesitation.
"It's okay, you can take a step first. As for Little Shane, I will take him there when I have time."
"Is this your answer? Smith Zhou, you really are an asshole. That's your grandson, is it because he's not as special as Zhou Yu that you don't take him seriously?"
"Alan, that's not what I meant..."
"No, you don't need to explain. I can see that the so-called family affection is just a cover in your eyes. You say it nicely, but in your eyes, even the unborn Zhou Yu is just a thing that can be used. tool. And he is your real purpose, right?"
Zhou Lan may have acted a little arrogant, but she is not stupid. She had already seen the core of Smith Zhou's attention, and this also made her completely give up on Smith Zhou.
From this point of view, it may indeed be a good thing that Zhou is not here, at least, he will not be threatened by this damn bastard. Thinking of this, she immediately let out a sigh of relief, and said to Smith Zhou with a cold face.
"Come on, let's go now. Isn't that what you want?"
She didn't give Smith Zhou any chance to explain, and even if Smith Zhou wanted to explain, he couldn't do it at all. This made him very embarrassed, and this embarrassment fell in the eyes of an outsider like Stark, which made him even more embarrassed.
Maybe it was out of anger, or maybe it was because I really had no patience. At this time, he had already turned his spearhead.
"It's time for my answer, Mister Stark. I think I've waited long enough for your answer!"
