When politicians get involved in war, everything becomes two things for them. That's the chips that can be sacrificed, and the price that can't be sacrificed. It's like doing a simple arithmetic problem, giving up the former for the sake of the latter, and they can easily give such an order. Because for them, it's just the addition and subtraction of cold numbers.

Politicians make the already brutal war even more brutal, but it is necessary. Because in any case, war is just an extension of politics. The development of human society to this day has long since departed from the original meaning of raising up for the survival of the race. Today's wars often exist for the needs of certain political interests, and under such a premise, it is obvious that the control and operation of politicians is a choice that can better control the direction of war.

This is the choice of the times, but it is unfair to those who are fighting on the front line. It is impossible to look at it fairly that they are born and die, risking their lives to fight for the interests of their country, but in the end there is a great possibility that they will become outcasts and be directly abandoned by the country to which they are dedicated.

However, there is no such thing as fairness in this world. In this kind of political war, the only thing they can do is pray, pray that this unfortunate thing will not befall them, and pray that they can come and walk back with dignity. The so-called fairness is reflected in them to the greatest extent, that is, the unfairness that makes them not know what is happening to them. If they knew, then unfortunately, they could only endure it in silence.

For the Avengers and the soldiers here, they can be considered lucky. Because they don't know it, they have become a part of this unfair trade. They were simply doing their job, maintaining order in the Great Retreat and holding back the formidable enemy.

The former is hard, but there is a guarantee of safety. Even if most of these soldiers were prepared for any danger, the politicians would not allow them to be crushed in this wasteland. They're certainly safe. And compared to them, the safety of the Avengers is not guaranteed.

With the meager strength of a few of them, it seemed impossible to stop the advance of Hydra's army of hundreds of thousands. Even if they are superheroes, even if they all have a great power that makes people shudder. It is absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

Quantitative change will produce qualitative change. The movement of hundreds of thousands of troops has almost completely suppressed the individual's bravery and ability to the limit. Unless you can do it to the point where you can make a thousand armies easy with a wave of your hand like King Ming, no matter how great your ability is, you can only be swallowed up by them little by little like an insect that has been drowned by ants.

Of course, someone like Hulk may be a little special, but no matter how special he is, he just barely manages to keep himself safe. If he wants to stop the advance of the army, he must still be unable to do it. It's not just him, it's all the Avengers. However, they never wanted to stop them from the front.

The Avengers were only seven or eight people in total, which was a disadvantage for them, because they couldn't compare to Hydra in numbers. But at the same time, it is also an advantage, because it gives them unimaginable mobility when facing the Hydra.

Relying on their own strength, they can use their mobility to fight guerrilla warfare against Hydra. And as long as they can delay the Hydra army's actions through such guerrilla tactics, their operation will be considered successful. So from the very beginning, they did not think about such an impractical thing as the complete destruction of the enemy. All they want is to complete their mission, and it is precisely because of this idea that they will ambush them halfway.

From the foothills of the Himalayas all the way south to the Indian Ocean, the terrain of India tends to be gentle. And in such a flat terrain, the only thing that can stop the advance of the Hydra army is the urban agglomeration built by humans.

At present, the urban agglomeration between the forward position and the rear base has been emptied, although it is said that this is the only barrier to build a defensive line and prevent the advance of Hydra. However, due to manpower constraints, the Allies were not able to construct any effective defensive measures here. They could only simply plant some defensive equipment here, which was completely useless to the army of Hydra.

Of course, it can't be said that it is completely useless, because at this time, the Avengers have already begun to build their own defense line to block Hydra with these pre-arranged defensive equipment.

"Put this thing in here, are you sure there's no problem? Doctor. How do I feel that this thing could explode at any moment! ”

Under the command of Hank the Beast, Rhodes replaced a core explosion section to defend against missiles, and replaced it with a spare palladium Ark Reactor on his war machine, a super technology that had been abandoned by Stark. Although it is a stackle product, the palladium reactor is still one of the most powerful energy cores in the world. And the more powerful it is, the more dangerous it is. At the very least, Rhodes himself absolutely didn't want to see such a thing explode in front of him.

That's definitely not much less powerful than a nuclear bomb explosion. Even if the explosion does not cover a wider area than a nuclear bomb, the lethality of the core area is definitely at the level of a nuclear bomb. This kind of lethality is not at all something that ordinary superheroes like them can face. In fact, with the exception of a very small number of beings, the vast majority of life in this world is unlikely to be able to withstand such damage.

That's what they are, and that's what the Hydra armies are. And it was precisely because of this that Rhodes accepted Hank the Beast's suggestion to use such a special thing in this kind of place.

This was a very helpless move, and if he had a choice, he would not have used such a dangerous method. But it is precisely because he has no other choice that he can only complain a few words with dissatisfaction while accepting it honestly as he is now.

In the face of such complaints, Hank just replied to him nonchalantly while adjusting the instrument in his hand.

"Of course, my calculations are rigorous, and there is no way there can be a problem. Believe me, I've been working on this since the days of the Cold War, I'm a professional. If it weren't for the fact that I'm a mutant, I think I could have won a Nobel Prize or something. ”

"Really? So what kind of award can you win, it won't be a literary award, right? While your jokes do have some meaning, I don't think a Nobel Prize would make an exception to award it to a joke teller. ”

It can be regarded as a bitter pleasure, Rod took out the tone that he had joked with Tony at the beginning, and began to talk at Hank. As an old man, Hank, of course, would not be angry at this kind of joking taunt, and he did not alike this practice, so he immediately replied to Rod.

"I've had the idea of writing a biography or something, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find the time. Therefore, I am afraid that the Nobel Prize writer has no fate with me. However, although the literary prize has nothing to do with me. But I think the Physics Prize and the Peace Prize and so on, I'm still eligible to participate in it. After all, I've made a lot of special achievements, and some of them can make a splash in the world. ”

"Oh. For example? Do you think you're working on this thing right now to get Nobel officials to send you candidacy invitations? ”

Rod only thought Hank was bragging, so he was saying such things to him in a joking way. In the face of his words, Hank just glanced at him and said to him with a blank face.

"Ever heard of the Mind Amplification Instrument at Charles School for the Gifted? It was something I designed, something that Magneto Eric and I had built by hand. Using this thing, we can amplify the abilities of psychic powers like Professor Charles to a limit. He could radiate his mind to the whole world in an instant in that situation. Controlling or destroying humanity was just a matter of his thoughts. I think I would have no problem winning the Nobel Prize in Physics with that. ”

"Also, during the Cold War, I was the first generation of the X-Men. At that time, I was personally involved in the operation to stop the Black Emperor Sebastian. We stopped his madness in starting the Cold War, so that the whole world would not be completely reduced to a wasteland in the confrontation between the two superpowers. I think such a contribution should be more qualified to win the Nobel Peace Prize than any idiot president. ”

Hank said that it was true, and that Rod had heard everything he had said. This made him can't help but raise his hand, showing a gesture of surrender, and then said to Hank in a very helpless tone.

"Okay, okay. I apologize for my doubts, doctor. You're really good. But I have a question to be clear first. Since you mutants are so powerful, why don't you continue to help us at this time? Hydra is your enemy, too. Don't you want to join us in destroying them once and for all? ”
