Tony has always been a man who is not afraid of heaven and earth. This can be seen in the hands and feet he has exerted on the whole of the United States.

In the more than 200 years since the founding of the United States, although it is full of ills today, who dares to say that no insightful and capable person can see these ills. Who dares to say that there is no one with lofty ideals who wants to pull out these ills? Yes. Absolutely. It's just that these so-called far-sighted people and these so-called people with lofty ideals have all collapsed in the face of these ills of the United States, and all of them have died down. After more than 200 years in the United States, there was a Tony. Stark, with such determination and ability, has completely uprooted this ill. From this point alone, he has already shown his courage, his lawlessness, and the courage to pierce the sky.

But now, when faced with such a solution to the problem pointed out by his son, it is the first time that he has been afraid and hesitant in his heart.

The reason why this is the way it is is not because there is anything wrong with the method that Frank said. In fact, there is no problem with this method at all, as long as he can do it freely, then it is only a matter of time before the glory of the United States is restored. Moreover, this time will definitely only be short, not long. But why would Tony be so careless, even to the point of retreating? Again, that's the problem.

Manufacture of gold. This will certainly allow Tony to solve his country's economic problems, but then he will bring a bigger problem to the world. That was the global financial crisis caused by the flood of gold into the market.

You must know that almost all countries in the world have varying degrees of gold reserves, and they regard gold as the ballast stone of their own national economy. And the reason for this is because of the stable value of gold itself. From ancient times to the present day, gold has been the most precious metal in the currency ever created, and its stability far exceeds that of any other noble luxury. Therefore, any crisis-conscious individual and organization prefers to reserve gold to prevent and respond to the unexpected.

However, this is based on the premise of gold stability. And if Tony really starts making gold, then this stability is equivalent to being broken. The flood of gold into the market has changed not only the economy of the United States, but the entire world. Because there are rules in the market, between the value and the product, the more gold is produced, the lower the price of gold will be. And this hurts the interests of all countries in the world, which is equivalent to digging a few hoes on their cornerstones. No one, or rather, no country can tolerate such a thing. So to do this, it can be said that the whole world is the enemy.

No one dared to do that. Russia has the world's largest meteorite crater hitting diamonds, the value of which is incalculable, but they just forbear not to mine it, for what? Isn't it the fear of impacting the luxury market, causing the market to collapse and eventually offending the world?

It's still diamonds, not gold. Don't say that the value of diamonds is higher than gold, no matter how high the value of diamonds is, they cannot be mixed with the status of national strategic reserves. Gold is an important resource for the country's strategic reserves. For the country, this is an important reserve related to stability, and it is a fundamental interest that is enough for them to be enemies of anyone. And what would Tony do if he reached out to their fundamental interests? It's simply a matter of knowing the outcome without even thinking about it.

No matter how much he is not afraid of heaven and earth, Tony will never dare to be the enemy of the whole world. He knows very well what the United States is like today, and its fragile economy and weak national strength make it impossible for them to have the confidence to be an enemy of any country, let alone the whole world.

So, even if it's for the sake of the country's future, even if it's for his own sake. He had to reject this tempting solution, he had to keep him out of it. This ruthlessness is not only for himself, but also for his son. In order to completely dispel Frank's idea, he had already set him up and said to him in a rare stern tone.

"Listen, Frank. That's the end of it. We've never done that, and we've never figured it out, you know? ”

Frank is smart, but he is more intelligent than he thinks. But this kind of favor also has political experience, and as a child, he still lacks it after all. So he didn't understand why Tony said that, and it was precisely because he didn't understand that he immediately asked back.

"Dad, are you worried about the expansion of the gold market caused by the manufacture of gold, which will eventually affect the price of gold as a whole? Actually, don't worry about that. We can make gold and sell it off little by little. If the price of gold is affected too much, we can also make silver and other precious metals. Adding up, we can revive the country's economy without even realizing it. ”

"Not for that reason, Frank. It's not as simple as you might think. In short, you have to listen to me about this matter, we must not do this kind of thing, and we cannot afford the consequences of this kind of thing. Do you understand? The United States is not yet at the point where it is going to use this tactic to seek a resurgence. ”

"Then I need a reason, Dad. I wonder why you're doing this? Is this so unacceptable to you? ”

Frank's natural curiosity is immense. Although he has received almost all the knowledge of humanity from Ultron's network, this does not satisfy him, and he still has a thirst for knowledge. In this case, he does not see any obvious loopholes in his approach. So he had to figure out why his father didn't want to accept his approach.

Frank is about to break the casserole and ask to the end. There's no way Tony can stop him. He also knew in his heart that in order for Frank to abandon this plan completely, he had to have a reason that could fully convince him. Otherwise, he gave up on the surface, but secretly told Ultron about the idea, and it was still the same result.

He needed a way to explain everything, but he couldn't make it too clear. Because Frank is still young anyway, exposing him to such filthy things too early may have some adverse effect on his future growth. So he had to be tactful enough, and he had to let him know as little as possible about the darkness of this world. And what to say, he scratched his head to come up with such a statement that was not a statement.

"Man, how do I tell you? Let's use an analogy. It's like a spell, a spell that turns us into mosquitoes and sucks people's blood. We suck the blood of others, fatten our own, and at the same time make these people suffer. And this loss is unacceptable to anyone. It's good that they don't know, but once they do, then they will definitely be desperate to slap their hands and try to slap the mosquito to death. And that's exactly what I feared, the United States is fragile right now, and we can't afford these slap blows. So we can't do that, either for their sake or for ourselves. Do you understand my painstaking efforts? ”

"You can do it quietly, can't you? Father. Quietly, controlling the amount of your own blood. Just like those real mosquitoes, if they suck blood and don't let people find out, isn't everything a problem? ”

Frank thought he had a point, but Tony just smiled and shook his head in the face of his statement.

"That's not how it is calculated, son. You have to know that if you don't want people to know what you've done, you'd better not do it in the first place. By the same token, once you start doing what you're talking about, it's impossible not to let others know about it. There are no impermeable walls, and no secrets that can be buried forever. Rather than doing this kind of thing and then worrying and being afraid. Then it would be better for us to abandon this method from the beginning. ”

At this point, Tony's face sank slightly, and then he said to Frank in a somewhat solemn tone.

"And, there's another thing I want to tell you. There are some things that we can use our wisdom to solve, but sometimes wisdom does not provide you with the best solution. As you said, it may seem to you that it is a solution to my dilemma. But it seems to me that this is a door to hell. Open it, and endless desires will likely consume you completely. When the time comes, if you want to stop, you're probably going to be overwhelmed. So I'd rather give it up and act like it didn't show up in the first place. I don't want to use it to plot a little bit in secret, as you said. Because I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it, and I'll be completely manipulated by it. Do you see what I mean? ”

If the former is still a decent reason, then the latter is really a somewhat idealistic statement. Frank's life experience didn't make him understand such a statement, so he shook his head very dryly and said.

I still don't understand, especially the latter paragraph. Is it really that hard to control yourself from being dominated by desire? ”

"Of course, my son. If everyone can control their desires, then they will not make mistakes. Just like me, if I could control myself, I don't think our lives would be the way they are now. We should live a little happier and a little more satisfying. And not like it is now. ”

A wry smile spread across his face, and Tony's eyes were full of apologies as he looked at his wife and children.

"I'm sorry for you, it's my fault. Unfortunately, I can't go back now. ”
