Chapter 1458: Turning the Protagonist Into a Dark Figure
In the blink of an eye, the mortal enemy became a comrade-in-arms. The three views of Captain America, a veteran of World War II, were shattered. Now it seemed ridiculous to let him fight side by side with the Nazis.
Tony was silent because he knew that this must be a politics of interest exchange. He could understand and compromise, but he felt very uncomfortable.
The truth is always cruel. They, the Avengers, are just warriors, but they cannot decide the future of the country. Their main problem now is that they can't accept Duran and Ultron's "whitewashing".
After the Avengers withdrew their troops, they were all silent and waited for the president's envoy.
The envoy told the Avengers about the president's difficulties now. Everything stems from Duran being too difficult. The other party has quietly grasped the lifeline of the United States. If the president does not take action, then Duran may destroy the country. And his condition is to insert Ultron into the US military, which is obviously not well-intentioned. But even if the president knows that Duran has bad intentions, he can only choose to "delay" when faced with a choice. Now the envoy conveyed the president's order, hoping that the Avengers can find a way to paralyze the US nuclear weapons system mastered by Duran, and then destroy it. At that time, the patriotic forces in the country can attack together and eliminate Duran and Ultron.
Yes, it is to eliminate, because Duran is too dangerous, and he can be killed directly without interrogation. But all the conditions are to ensure the safety of the country.
The Avengers were relieved after hearing this, thinking that the president was not in collusion, and he was forced to put Duran into the government agency not voluntarily.
Captain America felt a little better, at least the country was not in a hopeless situation. But the citizens did not know this, and the people of the world did not know this.
The US government accepted Ultron as a new weapon, which caused a sensation for a while. The whole world wants the US president to give an explanation. You know, Ultron wanted to destroy the world before, and Ultron became the new weapon of the United States in a blink of an eye. Then everyone has to ask whether Ultron's previous behavior was Ultron's own or the US government's?
The US President was overwhelmed, and he couldn't explain it, so he could only evade and say: "This Ultron is not the previous Ultron. The Ultron that destroyed mankind has been destroyed. The current Ultron is a security device, just like the new generation of fruit phones are not the same as the old generation of fruit phones. The new Ultron has been upgraded and is very safe." The president himself didn't believe this, but with such propaganda, others were skeptical.
However, Ultron's strength is unquestionable. After the US military accepted Ultron's mechanical army, the US military's combat effectiveness has jumped from resisting aliens to beating aliens.
Other countries see that the United States is so rogue, and there is no other way except condemnation. In fact, countries around the world are now working hard to develop advanced equipment to deal with possible alien invasions at any time. Humanity has reached the era of crisis, and external pressure is huge.
The United States is undoubtedly at the forefront of this, of course, this is also thanks to the blood transfusion of the United States' allies. These allies have no technology, so they can only give money to the United States to complete the "Star Wars" plan, hoping that when the aliens invade them, the United States can help them. The United States has used their money to develop a lot of good things. In addition, the alien equipment was dropped in New York before. The United States is already at the forefront of the world. Now there is Ultron, which is even more powerful in the eyes of other countries.
The shameless United States is the most powerful, and other countries can only reserve their opinions on Ultron.
However, the American people are not happy, because they are also afraid, especially when they know that the criminal Duran has become an official, they are even more afraid.
Other countries also know that the United States has invited a big criminal to be an official. This matter is different from Ultron, and people all over the world are just watching the excitement. Because whether Duran commits a crime or becomes an official, he can't control the people outside the United States.
But Duran's official situation is different in the eyes of the American people. This matter is like a thunderbolt from heaven, and everyone is pessimistic. Citizens who don't know the inside story think that the president has fallen.
The president's approval rating is falling all the way. The spokesman urgently announced that Duran is only a consultant, and a consultant on interstellar issues. He is a human who has traveled to outer space. Although he is a criminal, he is an authority in this regard. And after Duran becomes an official, the government will strictly control and restrict him, so everyone can rest assured.
But what Duran did in New York was so terrible that the people were still unwilling to trust Duran. Now they were afraid of what Duran would do. They didn't know that Duran's actions had already begun, and Ultron was his action.
The American people soon discovered that when the police were working, their police cars would actually transform and attack criminals, and the means were extremely bad, simply beating the criminals to death.
This is inevitable. It's still the old saying that only colleagues are openly hostile. Ultron's mechanical army is also a criminal, and it is natural to work hard when fighting criminals.
All the criminals in the country were beaten to death, and the Mask Society was the largest and strongest criminal organization in the end.
Of course, when robots handle cases, economic losses are inevitable, and the already poor relationship between the police and the public is now even worse. But the police are not having a good time either. They originally thought that only the US military would have robots, but they didn't expect that their police force would also have a large number of robots stationed to follow the police to handle cases.
The police must go out in robots, and they can't hide what they say or do in the car from the eyes of the robots, and the police complained.
They always feel that the robots may suddenly hurt themselves at any time, and the pressure on the police to go to work is greater. They not only have to face criminals but also suspicious robots.
The Avengers have a heavy responsibility. Now the country is in crisis. If they can't stop Duran, then everything will be over.
But Duran actually mastered the US nuclear weapons system, which is troublesome. On the one hand, they actively researched a new nuclear weapons system, and on the other hand, they were ready to get secrets from Duran.
This task fell on Tony, who made him and Duran both enemies and friends.
Tony had no choice but to come forward to talk to Duran.
"What exactly do you want to do? I don't think ruling the country is your goal." Tony got straight to the point. He was smart and didn't think Duran liked politics. Duran's current behavior was just for a deeper goal.
"This shouldn't be you asking me, but I should ask you. Aren't we friends?"
Tony saw Duran talking about friends again, thinking that he had betrayed so straightforwardly before, and now he still had the face to say he was a friend? He said with an unhappy face: "I don't think your performance on the battlefield before can be called a friend."
"This is a different time, Stark, our thoughts are far beyond ordinary people and are not recognized by others. Don't you think it's more interesting to be with me than with those Avengers?"
No, but in his heart Tony also feels that he is not understood by his comrades.
After so many things happened, the relationship between Tony and Captain America has cracked.
"A true friend will not deceive you, Stark, I know the secret you have always wanted to know, as long as you stand on my side, I can tell you the truth about your parents' death." As a villain, not only do you have to lead your younger brothers to do bad things, but you also have to induce the dark side of good people.
Now Duran is going to use the death of Tony's parents to make Tony black.
Duran believes that Tony will blacken, whether it is true or false: the real blackening is because the truth breaks with the Avengers and stands on Duran's side; the false blackening is to pretend to stand on Duran's side as an insider after knowing the truth, no matter what, as long as he blackens, it is enough. Duran's request was not high, he just wanted to get a villain achievement, the achievement of 'inducing the protagonist to turn evil'. At the same time, he also made the righteous team enter a completely unfavorable situation, allowing the villain's advantage to reach its peak. This was the script.
