(PS done, another 300 words will be given!)
Dalia was right. Yelena used a lot of willpower to turn her head away from the heartbreaking scene and leave with her friends.
However, the moment they left, Natasha looked at their backs.
She was not a rookie, so it was impossible for her to ignore such obvious gazes, but she did not look at them, first to avoid embarrassment, and second to give the girl a chance.
To be honest, she still hadn't thought about how to face Yelena. After all, she was Yelena's enemy. According to Natasha's previous style, such people would have been reclaimed long ago, but this time, Natasha couldn't do it... This hatred is impossible to reconcile. She killed her parents. She also saw with her own eyes that even in the Red House for so many years, she had not forgotten this hatred... This is not something that can be forgotten with just two casual words.
Maybe it's because her name is Yelena?
Natasha thought so.
"Funa..." Antonia called out unhappily when she saw Natasha was distracted again.
Natasha smiled back immediately.
Seeing Antonia like this, Natasha was relieved and sad.
After Antonia received the injection of dragon bone extract, although she regained consciousness, her memory still stayed on the day of the explosion. In other words, although she has become a mature woman now, her mind is still a few years old.
She is not even familiar with her body yet. It will take a long time of rehabilitation for Antonia to accept the fact that she has grown up. Not only that, she needs to learn more things to match her body.
And this, in the final analysis, is also caused by Natasha!
She deprived Antonia of more than 20 years of life!
So seeing that Antonia is still alive, she not only did not throw away the guilt, but became more guilty. She deprived her of more than 20 years of life! Let her lose the happiness and troubles that she should experience as a child. Is there anything more cruel than this?
Now Antonia can only speak one word at a time... After consulting with the most authoritative doctors in the United States, they all think this is normal.
So Natasha has been helping her with rehabilitation.
To be honest, Natasha feels very complicated now. She has always hoped to solve the problem of the Red Room. But if she solves the Red Room... will it hurt Antonia again?
After all, Drekov is Antonia's last relative.
...
On the other side, Tony is calling Kai.
"There is something wrong with those two girls, especially Yelena. She looks at Natasha with a wrong look. Are you really not going to do anything?"
"What can I do? Natasha won't let me touch her... To be honest, I don't know what Natasha is doing. Natasha killed the girl's parents... Although it was an order from SHIELD."
Logically speaking, SHIELD should be considered a justice camp. The target of the assassination order they issued is at least a bad guy. Unfortunately... SHIELD has never been an organization of justice, or in other words, any similar organization will never be so naively divided into justice or evil.
So SHIELD's killing of good and bad people is actually not important, and it is not even within SHIELD's consideration.
In addition, Hydra was in power at the time... then it would be even less considered, and it is better to say that good people are more miserable!
So it is more likely that Yelena's parents are good people. In this way, Natasha has lost her last moral position. This kind of irreconcilable contradiction, Natasha should not keep this unstable factor around her.
Even if she is not killed, she should be allowed to leave.
Now, Kai really doesn't understand.
"SHIELD... why am I not surprised at all?" Tony complained: "Do you want to check it? What if it's a misunderstanding?"
"If you have time, check it out. Also, keep an eye on that woman. By the way, you have to be careful recently."
"What's wrong?"
"There's movement in the Red House. That girl... is the daughter of the Red House boss. He will find a way to rescue her."
"Ha! Isn't that just right?! What they did in New York can't be easily let go!"
Kai didn't say anything.
To be honest, Kai's feelings about the Red House are quite complicated. Of course, he has nothing to do with the Red House, but... the country that the Red House represents.
To be honest, Kai, a child who grew up in the 1980s, has complicated feelings about that country. First of all, this country has brought a lot of trouble to his motherland, and there was even a little conflict between the two sides. But this country was also once a very long-awaited existence for these socialist young men, Big Brother! It's no joke!
Socialist base camp!
That's fine, the key is that the Red House still insists on being both red and professional, which makes Kai feel very close to them.
I just have a good impression of them.
To be honest, although the terrorist attack is excessive,... if you consider what happened in the Red House, Kai can understand it.
Of course, sympathy is sympathy, but terrorist attacks are not allowed!
"Okay, remember to be prepared!"
...
Washington, DC, the White House.
"Red House?!"
Benjamin was stunned when he saw the report from New York.
"Do you think that I don't understand what the Red Room is because I don't have any political background? Right?" Benjamin looked at the leaders of several intelligence agencies in front of him with a very ugly face.
Well, actually Benjamin didn't know about the Red Room before. After all, it was all intelligence secrets. Although Benjamin himself was not a political novice, he was indeed not very experienced. He had not been in various congressional committees for a long time, so it was difficult for him to get in touch with such confidential intelligence.
Benjamin's political background was not the route of traditional politicians. Traditional politicians generally have two routes.
The first one is to come from a prestigious school, then start to intern in a branch of the two parties, and actively participate in various activities, then enter the party, start activities in various constituencies, contact senior members of the party, start to build connections, and sometimes even become a secretary or assistant to a big boss, and then start to fly alone, relying on their own connections to enter the constituency and start campaigning.
Then accumulate a certain reputation, and then start to upgrade. Enter the city council, then the state council, and finally the Congress.
After entering Congress, first mix in some committees with little power, then according to seniority, start to get in touch with the circles of senior members step by step, and then join some powerful committees.
Finally become a senior politician, and then run for president.
Another way is to hold a government position or public service. That is, to hold a public office or be a lawyer. For example, Eisenhower, he directly became a five-star general, then retired, and ran for election! You can also be a lawyer, first become a big lawyer, then turn to be a prosecutor, or switch back and forth, as long as you are famous, you can also go into politics. Not only lawyers, but also union leaders (Reagan started his political career from the Actors Guild).
Benjamin is not like that. He worked in a private company after graduating from college and had no political experience at all. As a result, he accidentally entered politics. As a result, this guy was bold and ran for election in a few years. As a result, his election opponent had a scandal inexplicably, and he became a member of parliament when he was extremely pessimistic.
Next, his political amateur background and his outspokenness made him a star politician. He ran for president before his term as a congressman ended... Then his style was liked by many people, because the American political arena was too stagnant and people were tired of those professional politicians. Suddenly Benjamin came out and everyone's eyes lit up.
His identity and background were very suitable for the American middle class, and he dared to speak out and speak up, so he was elected.
He had never entered Congress and had not been in the state legislature for a few years.
Naturally, he had no place to learn those secrets.
It was all told to him by his staff.
"Everyone, can someone explain to me why an organization that was considered to have been eliminated more than 20 years ago has revived and launched a terrorist attack on us!"
Benjamin was very angry.
This is outrageous!
Although it is very likely that this was a mistake made by these intelligence agencies to deceive the former president! Logically, he should not be so angry.
But the problem is that the blame is now on him!
The public does not care whether it is the fault of the predecessor, they only look at the current government!
Besides, the president in 1991 is already dead! How to hold him accountable? ! Besides, if we pass the buck to the former president now, how will others see him? Do we still need to have tacit understanding of the rules?
So, we can only find trouble with these intelligence agencies.
Although they are also taking the blame from their predecessors!
But someone has to take the blame!
It can't be him, the president, right?
"It must be the Russians! We must make the Russians pay the price!"
The military immediately stood up and expressed their position!
We can pass the blame to foreign countries! The Americans have always done this before. If you don't understand, you can refer to the situation in the real world. Damn, the Americans are so outrageous when passing the blame! How many blames have the flower-growing countries and the bears taken.
Whenever something happens, they will immediately pass the blame. No matter how outrageous it is, they dare to pass it, and damn, those idiots in the Eagle Sauce really dare to believe it!
And the military likes this kind of thing the most, because there are wars to fight. There are benefits when there are wars to fight!
These bastards dare to do anything to fight a war!
Not only the military, but also other people have formed path dependence!
Throw the blame on others!
"Yes, yes, yes! It must be the Russians!"
"Yes, it must be them!"
"It's them! They must pay the price!"
...
Benjamin was speechless when he saw them.
He looked around and found that the people in the State Department and the Cabinet all looked ugly, but the intelligence, justice and defense departments were all excited.
Benjamin felt a headache when he saw this.
A group of people made a lot of noise for a long time, and found that there were few people in the office who supported them, and the president looked at them with a constipated face.
So they couldn't make any more noise.
"Speak up! Speak up! Weren't you all very talkative just now? Why don't you continue to speak?"
Benjamin was almost angry to death.
"Go on! What did you want to say just now? Go on! What are you going to do?"
"Fake! Don't you look at what's going on with us now! The Russians... Ha! Have you read this document? It says clearly that the Red House and the Russians are not of the same mind at all! They are even better than us I hate the Russians even more! What? Do you want them to join forces with the Russians? Do you think we have the ability to defeat such a country now? Or do you think someone in the world would do this? ?”
Benjamin was furious.
He originally just wanted to pass the blame, and then ask these grandsons to work harder and come up with a plan so that he could give an explanation to the people.
Anyway, deceiving the people...aren't they doing it every day?
But Nima... These idiots actually turned the tables on the Russians... Didn't you take some medicine to get into my office? Or haven't you taken any medicine?
I want you to put out the fire, not to add to it!
When the United States was number one in the world, it couldn't control the wooly bear. Now it's so depressed that it wants to start a war?
What do you think?
Do you think your life is too comfortable?
Not even a clear-minded politician would agree to such a statement, not even the people would accept it! Why, go crazy, start a war with a furry bear!
If a terrorist hat is added to a furry bear, the furry bear will have to fight with you even if he doesn't want to fight! After all, every time Yingjiang hits someone, this is his favorite hat. If you throw this hat to a furry bear, can the furry bear believe that you don't want to hit it?
"Are you trying to turn me into the worst president the United States has ever seen?!!"
There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!
This is really not Benjamin's imagination, but...this group of people can really do it. (This has happened in reality, so I won’t go into details because everyone knows it)
The military... Benjamin didn't even look at the military people. These people are used to being lawless. In the past, the United States was a dominant force, and the military would go too far if it went too far. After all, the family has a strong financial background. As long as the military does not cross the red line, other people will also benefit from it, so everyone will turn a blind eye.
But what is the situation now?
One hundred and forty military bases around the world are barely able to sustain themselves. You told me that you wanted to go to war with the Mao Xiong... Even the hawks who most support the military would not dare to do this!
We are in decline! friend!
We can no longer act like hooligans like before!
At this time, the Secretary of State stood up: "We must reduce the connection between the Red Room and the Russians, otherwise the domestic media... you know, those bastards dare not say anything. There is absolutely no way they will let go of such huge heat . Therefore, the relationship between the Red House and the Russians must be downplayed, and it is best not to have any connection!”
The status of the Secretary of State in the United States is equivalent to that of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, but it is much stronger than the general Secretary of Foreign Affairs. He has a higher status than other cabinet ministers. In short, as the chief adviser to the President of the United States on international affairs, a person responsible for coordinating, directing and supervising the overall overseas affairs of the U.S. government (except for some military operations). He understands international dynamics better than anyone else.
That is, the United States is no longer so effective in speaking internationally.
Rushing to make such severe accusations against a major sovereign country or local power may trigger an unpredictable crisis at any time.
You know, Mao Zi's style... If you dare to wrong him, he will really dare to push you back.
What to do then?
"Then describe the Red House as a radical organization similar to Hydra! Say they want to rule the world. Anyway, according to the urine of Hydra... In short, try to hide their relationship with the Russians."
Benjamin thought for a moment and made the final decision.
At this time, the Secretary of State stood up again: "Perhaps we can criticize the Russian government in private."
Benjamin looked over.
The Secretary of State immediately explained: "Not making it public is also a test of the Russians' attitude. I believe they are not willing to be associated with terrorism. When the time comes, we are inviting them to deal with the Red House together... After all, according to the style of the Red House, they will If they dare to attack us, who can guarantee that they will not attack the Russians?”
After all, it is terrorism, and the Russians guarantee that those lunatics can control themselves?
Just look at our big cousins in the Middle East. Why don’t they even bomb their own people?
