Chapter 534: What Schiller Is Best at (Part 2)
Which era is the best era?
Perhaps, everyone has his answer.
Stark feels that the best era is now, mankind is about to step into the sea of stars, and he will achieve higher achievements than his father.
Steve feels that the best era is the last era, which belongs to him, a pure but magnificent era.
Nick Fury feels that the best era is always the next era, and unknown enemies mean more funds.
But if we add a modifier to this question, which era is the best era for human civilization?
It is the era of confrontation across the ocean and the strongest competition.
In that era called the Cold War, the two superpowers competed in all directions. At that time, all the genius and wisdom of mankind were liberated, and when the two suns were shining together, thousands of stars rose into the sky.
In that era, one was a red giant working hard for the great ideal of liberating all mankind, and the other was a world beacon that would never be left behind and stared at the sea of stars.
In that silent era, the tiny sparks of friction can still light up the fire of technology today.
However, the fall of the red giant does not mean that the other side has won. It can be said that both of them have lost, and human civilization has also lost.
The once extremely bright lighthouse, because there is no longer a night sky that needs it to light up, and no longer a ship that needs it to guide the return, the pipelines are getting old, and the bulbs are covered with dust.
This gradually extinguished lighthouse will no longer have night shifts to wipe it, because it is no longer necessary.
They do not save the ship that ran aground in the distance, and no one can blame them anymore. The storms and waves and the distressed sailors thousands of miles away will not go to another path because of their inaction.
So far, everyone believes that the best and worst times have passed and will never come back.
Although the raging flames composed of countless sparks have been extinguished, now another flame has been ignited.
That is the flame of one person, which cannot be compared with the once tall and strong giant, but the ability he possesses is extremely powerful, so one person can form an army.
The terrifying and fascinating red ghost once again descended on the earth. He did not resurrect, but he also resurrected.
What kind of changes will Professor X, who has a firm communist ideology, bring to the earth?
Perhaps the only change is that the dead soul who once died has been pulled back. She stretched out her arms and embraced the earth in her arms, watching everything here from the sky thousands of miles away.
The lighthouse had better be bright enough, otherwise, we will light it.
In the office of SHIELD, Nick put down the phone and said to Coulson beside him in a very rare serious tone:
"Notify everyone and prepare for the meeting!"
The light bulbs in the corridor lit up one by one, and a group of people led by Nick walked quickly through the corridor. When they entered the meeting room, more people were already waiting there. Nick stood at the front and glanced around. His first sentence was like a thunderclap.
"Tomorrow, at the meeting of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, we will vote to approve the global joint solar system construction plan."
"I have received an order from Congress. From now on, SHIELD will be fully responsible for the dispatch and arrangement of supernatural forces in the solar system construction plan."
"In the future, we will be very short of manpower, so I don't care where you come from or who you have served. Now, you are all part of the human race. At this node when humans are about to enter the universe, we must unite as one."
"In the next period of time, the CIA's intelligence work on technical protection and investigation will be stopped one after another, and some agents will be transferred to SHIELD. I hope you can get along well with your new colleagues."
Nick's face was very serious, without the usual attitude of muddling through. He said:
"Perhaps you have already investigated clearly what we are facing. If we don't do well, someone will be happy to replace us."
At the same time, in the CIA's office, Mark looked up and looked at his serious boss. He asked with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is there a problem with my resignation letter?"
"Yes." His boss replied.
"Uh, which part is not clear? I can rewrite it." Mark said immediately.
"The problem is, you can't resign."
"Why?" Mark asked in surprise. He didn't understand why his boss's attitude changed 180 degrees?
Before, because the investigation of Schiller was unfavorable, his boss was very dissatisfied and made trouble everywhere.
Mark wanted to resign on the grounds of his poor mental state. His boss verbally agreed and only asked him to fill in a resignation letter. Unexpectedly, his boss regretted it again.
Mark's boss came over, patted Mark on the shoulder and said: "The Global United Solar System Plan is of extraordinary significance. I heard that the people above intend to form an Earth Federation government to better allow human civilization to enter the universe."
Mark's eyes almost popped out, he said: "Earth Federation Government?? What's going on? What happened? Didn't they say some time ago that the solar system construction plan was too controversial and the solar system was difficult to divide? How did they unite?"
The boss obviously knew more than Mark, he sighed and said: "Because the biggest resistance has disappeared, Congress has figured it out, and Russia has figured it out faster than them."
"Why? Why did they suddenly figure it out?"
"Because Congress doesn't want the Soviet Union to revive, and Russia doesn't want it even more than them."
"So, Mark, take your resignation Throw the letter of appointment into the trash can and prepare to continue to contribute to human civilization. "
Mark's face, full of surprise, gradually changed and slowly turned into Natasha's face. She also opened her mouth in shock and looked at Nick in front of her and asked:
"Remove the investigation? ? Reinstatement? ? But the investigation hasn't even started yet! How come it's over?"
Natasha was puzzled. Although she was not really under house arrest for investigation or surveillance under Nick's favoritism and fraud, and could even work normally, she was nominally suspended for investigation because of suspicion of being a KGB spy.
But it's only been a few days since the investigation, and the results are out? When did SHIELD's investigation efficiency become so high?
"Yes, you have been cleared of suspicion. On the one hand, it's because we really don't have enough manpower, and you still have to do a lot of the work on the surface. On the other hand, whether you are KGB or not is not particularly important. Congress decided to turn a blind eye. "
"Why?" Natasha asked in shock.
"Yesterday, the presidents of the five permanent members of the Security Council held a telephone conference and finalized the main route for the development of human civilization in the next 100 years. In short, it can be summed up in one word: cooperation."
Natasha was really shocked. She covered her forehead, looked up at the ceiling, and said, "Did I sleep for one night? Instead of sleeping for 70 years like Captain America? What's wrong with this world? Congress actually talks about cooperation with others???"
Nick briefly explained to Natasha what Schiller did in Congress yesterday, and then he commented:
"A person who wants to , and the madman who can revive the Soviet Union is watching the world. If we don't do well enough, he will let the Soviet Union do it. What do you want the Soviet Union to do? "
Natasha hesitated for a moment, then said: "It depends on when the Soviet Union is."
"That's for you. For them, if Schiller brings back the late Soviet Union, it's fine. If he brings back the early Soviet Union, all the people in the US and Russian Congresses will be tied together and hang on the street lamps."
Natasha showed an extremely complicated expression, some were amused, some were afraid, and some missed.
After Nick left, she took out the Red Flag Medal from her clothes pocket.
She stroked the surface of the medal with her fingers and said in a complex tone that no one else had ever heard:
"That era has passed and will never come back..."
"But all those who have been cured by him, proud of him, and hated him and couldn't sleep all night, we are all alive..."
"He doesn't need to be resurrected, because his spirit will never die."
"Do you really want to revive the Soviet Union?"
Standing on the roof of the Stark Building, dusk fell again. In the evening breeze, Stark turned his head to look at Schiller.
Schiller's hair was blown by the evening breeze. He also turned his head, looked at Stark, smiled and said:
"He is not dead, how can he be resurrected?"
Stark was silent, but Schiller's voice drifted away with the evening breeze, seeming a little unclear.
"In this world, a convincing doctrine and belief will not disappear because of the fall of a country."
"A great ideal that once made countless people yearn for and sacrifice their lives for justice will not weaken its charm because of the passage of time."
"As long as this ideal and belief are still circulating in human civilization, even if the road is tortuous, the prospects are still bright."
Schiller sighed slightly and looked at the New York skyline, where the scenery is still prosperous. He said:
"True communists have never pursued geography, system and position. We have only one goal, that is, to liberate all mankind."
"Therefore, it is not on that land that the resurrection of that group of people is I have never intended to revive that era. "
"There are no objective conditions, nor is there a complete necessity. If we insist on doing so, we will not grasp the main contradiction and fall into a metaphysical vicious circle."
Stark turned to Schiller and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Schiller said in a very calm tone:
"They are afraid of me, but they can't destroy me, so they can only work hard to prove that they can do better. Don't you think this is familiar?"
"That kind of spirit and faith has been resurrected in me, and it has been resurrected in this world."
"And one day, this lighthouse will be bright enough to illuminate all mankind and the entire universe..."
"Who can say that he has not been resurrected?"
"So all this is your plan?!"
Stark crossed his arms and looked at Schiller, saying angrily: "You played us all around just to make those people in Congress feel nervous that they would be replaced by the Soviet Union, so that they would stop fighting among themselves, unite as one, and then step into the universe?"
Schiller smiled his brightest smile so far, and said: "This place is known as the world's beacon..."
"And I am best at screwing in light bulbs."
