Chapter 536 The Country Is in Peril, Cold Hearted and Disheartened

"Gentlemen and ladies. You have seen the facts before you. Our indulgences and concessions will not maintain this false peace. We are indulging, but they are pressing. Look now, the most The menacing guy has allied himself with the dangerous terrorists. If we keep silent like this, the next step might be to put his armed forces in front of the White House. And by then, I want to ask everyone here, is there any way you can stop him?"

"General Ross, no, Senator Ross. Are you so sure that that person will be our enemy? Or do you think we have the ability to confront that terrifying being head-on?"

The impassioned Congressman Ross thought he could get some formal support and, at worst, some ostensible solidarity. But in fact, his words did not resonate with too many people. Even when he just finished saying those words, someone made such a mockery at him in a veiled way.

There are too many scheming guys in the decision-making level representing the federal government. It is really impossible for these people to stand on their side simply by relying on patriotism. And this, Congressman Ross, who has just stepped into Congress and still maintains the habits of the military, obviously does not have a clear enough understanding.

He simply and stubbornly insisted on his own opinion, speaking to everyone present in an almost high-pitched tone.

"Why is it impossible to confront him head-on? We are the most powerful country in the world, we have the most elite troops in the world. We also have departments like Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D. that specialize in fighting against supernatural forces. Just put these forces together , why do we have no possibility of victory? No matter how powerful he is, he is only one person and a group of rabble. Can he still fight against the will of the entire human race?"

"Mr. Ross. I think you may not understand some things. In front of that person, the power of our so-called country is actually not as strong as you think. Even if you put everything you said together, it may not be possible. Become the strength to influence the situation of war.”

Looking at Congressman Ross, who was full of vigor and excitement, he was very emotional. Pierce had a peaceful smile on his face.

"We have proved this at the cost of two nuclear bombs. It is because of this proof that we are so indifferent to the man. It is not that we do not want to deal with him, but that we are really incapable of dealing with him. We do not It is possible to let the whole country fall in order to deal with him alone, you have to figure this out!"

"Then let him expand his power recklessly and eat away at the body of this country. With all due respect, Mr. Alexander, if we keep silent like this, we will be the sinners of this country in a few decades. Whether it is Those ancestors, and our future children and grandchildren, will point to our tombstones and swear at what we did to tear this great country apart, and we made America no longer exist!"

"Mr Ross, enough. Do you know what you are talking about? You are spreading rumors and shaking the stability and peace of this country with dangerous words!"

Pierce Alexander hadn't spoken yet, and another member of the senator sitting in the seat almost pointed at the nose of Senator Ross, and yelled at him.

Not everyone is willing to listen to this kind of nonsense, and not everyone is able to maintain their demeanor with equanimity. Like this gentleman, he couldn't wait to act as Pierce's pawn, and started to denounce Congressman Ross' arrogant remarks.

Immediately after him, there was a rush of negative comments.

"This is the White House decision-making meeting, not your operational command room. Don't put your soldier's kit here."

"I don't understand even a little political tricks, I really doubt how you got the support of the military,

Step into the position of a member of parliament. "

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. The current situation is not something that you, a small congressman, can control. Do you really regard yourself as a person? If you want to gain the right to speak, let's talk about it after you win the election!"

Congressman Ross turned out to be just a soldier. Although he also knew some dirty things in politics, knowing and understanding are two different things. At least when he really got involved here, all he had was discomfort.

He didn't understand what made these people turn a blind eye to the danger in front of them, much less what made them take their own little selfish proposals so much. He was only thinking about the future of the country, and he didn't even think about anything else. But why does this group of people have to intrigue and unscrupulously reveal such ugly faces?

Thinking of this, Congressman Ross suddenly became disheartened. At this time, Pierce began to make a concluding speech.

"Okay, everyone. Congressman Ross just doesn't understand the rules in the middle. After all, he just got out of a prison, and he doesn't understand the current situation as well as you do. Therefore, we should be a little more patient with him, a little more Tolerance and understanding. After all, they are colleagues, and there is no need for everyone to make the relationship so stiff, right?"

As a big man who controls the fate of most of the people here, Pierce's words naturally attracted countless flattery. Looking at these people with all kinds of tricks, Congressman Ross almost had the urge to laugh out loud.

Let this group of guys run all the affairs of this country and let them decide the future of this country. It's a funny and sad thing. He has despaired of it, despaired of the fate of this country. If he had a gun in his hand, he really wanted to let it go and give the country a little more hope at his sacrifice. But he didn't, so he watched it all with empty eyes, waiting for the farce that sickened him to come to an end.

Congressman Ross' performance all fell into Pierce's eyes. And he quickly figured out what was on his mind. This is a guy who is out of tune with this place, and his sharpness and fighting spirit are really useful things for Pierce.

At least compared to most of the people here, this Ross is more valuable. He has the capital to be attracted, but how to win him? Pierce, who was silent, had already figured it out in his heart.

There is no more disjointed guy like Congressman Ross. Naturally, the so-called decision-making meeting soon ended in a meaningless chatter. As soon as the meeting ended, Congressman Ross left the meeting site as quickly as possible.

For him, breathing a piece of air with such a person is already disgusting enough. So he didn't want to wait even a moment, and left the scene directly to find a place where he could breathe freely.

However, although he left quickly, it was not as fast as some caring people. When he came to the parking lot, opened his car and was about to drive away. A black Rolls-Royce stopped beside him, and Pierce's voice came from behind the car.

"Mr. Ross, can we talk?"

"Mr. Alexander, I don't think we have anything to talk about. We're not of the same kind, I'm sure of that!"

With a stiff smile on his face, Senator Ross's answer was not showing the slightest sympathy. But such a reaction is within Pierce's expectations. He just shook his head and said to him with a smile.

"Mr. Ross, you are too assertive. There are some things I can't do too obvious, but I can tell you that you and I are in the same camp. Especially when it comes to fighting against those special people who threaten national security, we are absolutely unanimous. ."

As soon as these words were said, Congressman Ross changed his face. With a gloomy face, he walked to the car window and asked icily to Pierce, who came out of his head.

"If it's what you say. Then, Mr. Alexander, can you tell me why you don't want to support me? Don't think I don't know, you are the leader of this meeting, and many people are looking at you. Act. If you would stand by me, things would be totally different today, wouldn't they?"

"It seems that you have a big misunderstanding of me, Mr. Ross." Facing the question, Pierce frowned and shook his head slightly. "But it's not as simple as you see it. Although I'm one of the most powerful people on the surface, I actually have a lot to worry about. This water is deeper than you think. Some. It's also impossible for me to say what I mean casually."

"With all due respect, I don't understand what you mean."

Pierce was interrupted coldly, and Congressman Ross's words and deeds were full of the toughness of a soldier. And that's what Pierce admires most about him.

"I think we can talk carefully, Mr. Ross. I'll explain everything to you. If you're willing to believe me, of course."

Having said that, Pierce opened his car door to him and issued his own invitation to him.

This is a temptation. As for this kind of temptation, for Pierce's invitation, Congressman Ross hesitated for less than two seconds, and then resolutely sat in.

The car drove away, and Pierce, who was already sitting face to face with Congressman Ross, laughed smugly.

"I'm glad you're willing to believe me, Mr. Ross. Seriously, your decisiveness is admirable. As expected of the general who has driven the Hulk to death several times."

"But I still failed!" Not affected by this simple flattery, Congressman Ross just stared at Pierce with his sharp eyes and asked him. "Now I have sat in front of you as you wished. I think you can also tell me everything you want to say!"

"Of course, that's what I meant to invite you!" Nodding, Pierce narrowed his eyes and covered all his expressions with a smile. "First of all, what I need to tell you is the reason why I can't support you in the meeting. Because, we are not safe inside. Hydra people are lurking around us, and they are even their minions in Congress. I can't express my position at will, because it is very likely that my position will be used by them and become a fuse. And that will make it difficult for me to protect myself. Do you understand?"
