The first watchman was a person who carried a torch and a trumpet at his waist, and stood guard above the city walls to guard against anyone who might be dangerous.

They are the first to see danger and the first to face it. And to hang such a name on the body of a superhero, and to use the power of the government to build momentum for him, then it is almost equivalent to pushing this existence to the altar of the gods, and giving him legal sacredness and authority by nature.

And this is obviously a thing that many national leaders are unwilling to accept. It's not just a reluctance to accept it, it can even be said to be a heartfelt resistance.

"Don't you think your proposal is a bit outrageous, Lord Stark?"

"There is an old saying in our country that the past does not forget the future! It means not forgetting the lessons of the past. Whether it's the example of Captain America you cited, or the Knights of Dawn, who once had countless admirers, they all tell us that. That is the so-called superhero, once he has too much power in public opinion, then in the end he will hold the government hostage in turn and become a situation that cannot be broken. So I strongly oppose this proposal of yours. ”

A heavyweight was the first to raise objections, and this immediately drew a lot of support. Many of them are like-minded, but many more are the inevitable flattery of this heavyweight power.

With the decline of the power of the United States, the collapse of the two developed countries of Japan and Britain, and the decline of the overall strength of Europe, the most powerful country on the whole planet has appeared in the East. And for this country that has always claimed to rise peacefully, but at the same time has not suffered too many twists and turns in this kind of disaster, even if Tony is a million unwilling in his heart, he has to admit that he has become the most vocal force on the entire earth.

And in the face of this voice, he inherited the hegemony of the earth in the past, and he had to restrain his usual domineering personality and persuade him with kind words.

"Sir, I know you're worried about something. But at this time, we don't have much choice, do we? The people of the whole world are terrified. On the west coast of our country, as the heart of the country, countless workers have stopped working, and they have cowered into their homes, just because they fear that what will happen to them in England. This is true not only in China, but also in Europe, Canada, and Australia. I think that's how your country should be. Isn't Japan closer to your country than Britain is to the United States? Wouldn't the chaos it bring even worse? ”

When he said this, Tony really showed sincerity from heart to heart. But for some reason, he saw a trace of embarrassment and indescribable weirdness on the face of the big guy opposite.

Now, the big guy is embarrassed to hide something, otherwise he really has no reason to insist on his opinion in this situation. So he had no choice but to tell the situation in his country.

"Well, in fact, the situation in my country is fine. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are happy and healthy. I was not bothered by the current international situation at all. Therefore, what you said is not true at all. ”

Tony doesn't believe a word about this kind of thing. More than 100 million people have died. You said that you were not affected in the country, how is this possible. Are all the people in your country blind? Do journalists in your country eat dry food? So he asked immediately, angrily.

"Sir, are you kidding? The whole world was shaken by this disaster, and you actually told me that the people of your country were not affected much by this. Do journalists in your country write with their eyes closed? ”

"Ugh! It's not unreasonable for you to say that. After all, our country's press control has always been very good. This kind of negative news that will affect the social order is generally screened and broadcast. In addition, what is popular in our country is gossip news now, so this kind of thing is really ......"

The big guy can't go on on on this issue. While this kind of news control and weirdness is a good thing, it is a bit difficult to talk about when it comes to other countries.

And such an answer really made Tony feel powerless. On the one hand, they don't believe these nonsense, and on the other hand, they can't help but start worrying about what the consequences of these ridiculous words will be if they are true. He had already heard the implication of this big man's words under all kinds of shirk, that is, he was not willing to participate in their plan at all. And without the support of the world's most powerful country, how useful can their plan be?

Thinking of this, Tony immediately cheered up and chose to change his angle and continue his lobbying.

"Sir. I know you're worried about something. You're worried that you'll be like the one you used to be in the United States, and you're going to be treated with Steve. Traitors like Rogers stir up social unrest and panic. At this point, I can assure you that the Earthwatch isn't going to be the same thing as Rogers. ”

And we flaunt him only for his deeds, not for his character. The reason why Rogers was able to stir up so much and even undermine the prestige of the government is that we have admired the American spirit he represents too much over the past seven decades. And this time, we won't make that mistake. We're just going to take matters into account. As long as this situation can be calmed down. We have turned the public opinion in our hands upside down, and once again controlled the restrictions on these superheroes. As your country often says, everything is just for expediency. ”

It can be seen that Tony is indeed racking his brains in order to be able to calm down the potential hidden dangers in this social order. But for his statement, the big guy still didn't mean to nod easily.

"Lord Stark, I'll get straight to the point. In order to control the situation in your country, and to allow possible negative situations to arise within our country. This is a matter that is detrimental to the interests of our country. Although in today's international situation, I can do that. But I don't think we need to. After all, our country has never had anything to do with superheroes, and you don't have enough interest to impress us to do so. ”

It is simply impossible to talk about friendship between countries. Only interests are the foundation of dialogue among major countries, and only interests are the prerequisite for establishing cooperative relations between countries.

If it is said that when the sword of Damocles, the Devourer of Planets, hangs high above their heads, the countries can still abandon their previous suspicions and speak in unison. Then, when the long sword disappears, this cooperation between countries immediately reverts to the naked, exchange of interests that existed before.

It can be said that this is a robbery while the fire is burning, and it is almost a bright growth to ask for benefits from these countries that urgently need the power of public opinion to quell the social chaos. But in the eyes of Tony's leaders, it couldn't be better.

For this Taoguang for decades, it is finally a big country that has stood at the top. Only with a certain degree of interest exchange and control can they be most reassured. If it is just a verbal promise, I am afraid that they will doubt in their hearts that it can play a limited role.

I'm not afraid that he will open his mouth, but I am afraid that he will not open his mouth. This is now a consensus of the Western coalition that has blocked this country for decades. It's hard to imagine such a reversal, but you have to bow to the reality of the reversal.

People should look forward and walk down-to-earth. So Tony didn't hesitate at all, and directly prescribed his own conditions.

"Japan is a thing of the past, and our economic ties with Japan have been completely severed. So, we can re-establish this economic relationship on a couple of ports on the mainland side. In order to maintain the exchange of interests between our two countries. ”

"Is it the same economy and trade difference as Japan?"

The big guy spoke. Japan has always maintained a trade surplus of about $100 billion a year with the United States, and if this trade relationship is transferred to the United States, it is obvious that it will be able to reach a higher level in terms of domestic productivity. And this also means that the trade losses of the United States will be even greater.

Tony didn't want to accept this kind of thing, but he knew that he had to accept it at this time. So he could only grit his teeth and promise.

"Yes. The details can be formally discussed through diplomatic meetings. ”

"So, what about Japan itself?"

The big guy's words made Tony's heart tremble immediately. He has been holding the orphans of the Japanese imperial family in his hands, in order to re-support Japan in East Asia and let the United States have a spokesperson in East Asia again. And now, the big guy's words made him have to give up this idea.

Compared with the interests of the homeland, the importance of peripheral forces is less important. So he could only grit his teeth and give his promise.

"I will hand over the orphans of the Japanese Imperial Family. I would also like to propose that the reconstruction of Japan be handled by your country. ”

"Then it was decided. It's a deal, Lord Stark! ”

The negotiations have reached this point, and the big guy is already satisfied. Seeing the change in the expression on his face, Tony immediately asked.

"So what is your country's handling of public opinion?"

"Don't worry, Lord Stark. I'll arrange it! Tonight's Central News will broadcast in detail the major events that have taken place in Japan and Britain. At the same time, about the superhero you propose, we will also dedicate a special space to introduce it in detail. I can assure you that even if we extend the time of the central news, which has not changed for decades, it will spread the public opinion you are asking for. ”

"That's fine, so we can rest assured."

Tony let out a sigh of relief, and it felt like a big rock had fallen. However, if he knew the status of a certain news in the hearts of the broad masses of the people, would he regret it? I'm afraid many people have the answer to this matter. It's just that the parties themselves are afraid that they will be kept in the dark forever.
