Faced with Roddy's suggestion, Banner's first reaction was to refuse. There was no way he would allow his team to do that, because it was completely contrary to his original intentions. He wanted to bring his men back completely, not to let them live and die. It's just that, on this point, Roddy obviously has a different opinion from him.

"Of course I know what I mean, but you should also know that we're here on a mission, not a tour. There are some things that we have to do, even if it is at the expense. If you look at the end of the day, we will only be unable to do anything. Banner, you are the commander, and you should take your responsibility. ”

"My duty is to do everything I can to preserve everyone here. They are all living beings, not useless numbers. They deserve to live, and I must keep them alive. ”

Banner and Roddy had a huge conflict over basic principles and ideas, and this conflict made Banner a little uncontrollable and yelled. He really couldn't understand why these army-born guys were so cold-blooded, why they would be so indifferent to the deaths of others. If it's just for the enemy, it's okay, even for their own people, they are so ruthless. It was really unacceptable to him.

He found it unacceptable, and so did Roddy. Because for him, Banner's character is so bad that he really doesn't make a good choice for commander.

As a commander, if you can't even accept sacrifice, then it is impossible to make the most correct choice at a critical time. His hesitation and wandering will only allow opportunities to slip away from his eyes, and as time passes, they can only be led to death and destruction by this guy step by step.

Many examples in the past have illustrated this truth, and the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army.

Before that, Roddy had had a lot of hope for Banner. Because he felt that after going through so much, Banner should have learned some basic truths. If nothing else, at least it shouldn't be so naïve and idealistic. But now it seems that this is just wishful thinking. What he is, after all, is still a person. Expecting him to change is simply an unrealistic delusion.

At this time, if possible, Roddy really wants to empty his power and control the actions of this special squad by himself. But he knew that it was impossible.

Banner couldn't have allowed himself to stand up to him, and once he started to resist, he simply didn't have the ability to fight him. And the other Avengers won't necessarily allow themselves to do so. Even if there are so many people who are willing to support him, he will not have much advantage. And the end result is likely to be a confrontation and a rupture between the two sides.

Roddy wasn't stupid, he couldn't have let such a result happen because of such a little power, it would only lead to destruction for all of them. So he can only honestly succumb to Banner and then try to convince him by all means.

It's not easy, because Banner is not that easily swayed person at all. As a superhero, to the point where they are, everyone's mind can be said to be tough and unshakable. So to be honest, Roddy wasn't sure at all, but he still had to make a final effort for it.

"Banner, I can understand your feelings. But you know, you're a commander now, and you're carrying a completely different responsibility than you've ever had before. In such a situation, you must understand one thing, and that is that our task is more important than anything else, even our lives. ”

"You also said that there are only more than a hundred of us. Even if we were all sacrificed here, there would only be more than 100 tombstones. Do you think such a sacrifice is great? Have you ever thought that if our mission fails, the actions of the entire Central Powers against India will be bogged down from the beginning? And at that point, how many lives will we have to pay to turn it all around! Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions, tens of millions? ”

"No one wants to be sacrificed, and I don't want our good boys to die like that. However, we are soldiers, we are fighters with a mission on our backs. At this time, we must come forward. This is what it means to be a soldier, and this is our responsibility. So Banner, don't be obsessed with it anymore! ”

A sentence of obsession points out Banner's current state. In the eyes of Roddy and others, Banner is a little too stubborn now, and it can be said that he is stubborn and terrible. It is true that a scientist needs to be a little stubborn, because only stubbornness can make them delve deeper into the world of science. But putting this spirit in the current situation is really a bit scary.

At this time, everyone hoped that Banner would change his mind. No matter how bad it is, he should be able to figure out some of his own problems. And Banner did just that. He has become aware of his stubbornness on the subject, and has realized that his wishful thinking is not acceptable to most of them. However, this does not mean that he has to compromise, he has to change.

He wasn't that easy to change, so now he was still a little opinionated.

"I know what our mission means, but getting it done and sacrificing are two different things. Could it be that we can complete the task by sacrificing it all? Who would dare to make such a guarantee? I just want to save the lives of my soldiers, I just want more people alive. Is that wrong? ”

"It's not wrong for you to think so, but you've thought about retreating and running away before, and it's wrong. We haven't done anything yet, our mission hasn't even opened a head, so it's a contemptible joke to back down. And just when I was about to start this and open up a situation for our mission, you kept finding all kinds of reasons to refute me. Banner, do you think you have any reason to do that? ”

"I'm from the perspective of life. Everyone has the right to live, and we don't have that right to deprive them of their right and send them to their deaths! ”

Roddy's questioning prompted Banner to retort again, which naturally led to even greater opposition.

"Then you have no right to deprive them of their right to defend their honor. Turn on your headset and ask the lads if they'd rather go back with you or go out of their way to complete the task with us. Banner, we are soldiers, and each of us knows that sacrifice is inevitable. We are not afraid of sacrifice, what we are afraid of is that there is no value in dying, and there is no honor in living. You're not our kind of person, so you can't understand us at all. We're not at all what you think! ”

Having said that, the two men are almost completely opposed. And in this case, it is already impossible for anyone else to get involved. Therefore, the vast majority of people present could only smile bitterly and wait for the situation to calm down.

But how can such a thing subside. If it had subsided, Banner wouldn't have stubbornly held out for so long.

"Okay, then leave the decision to them. See if they're willing to die for the task, as you say. Find out who is the right choice for them! ”

In the current situation, Banner knew that it was absolutely impossible to convince Roddy's group on his own. So he simply pulled everyone in and let them make decisions about their fate.

In his opinion, anyone has a strong desire to survive. Just like those wanderers they'd met before. Didn't they choose to become monsters just to live? Even a group of refugees who have almost completely fallen into despair would make such a choice in order to live, so how could these agents choose to die when they have a better chance of survival?

He firmly believed in his own idea, so he was sure that Roddy would not agree to his request. But to his surprise, Roddy agreed, and did so very simply.

I saw him turn on the all-channel communication and say this directly to everyone.

"I'm a war machine, Colonel Roddy. Now I'd like to inform you that just now, there was a conflict between me and the Commander about what to do next, and that made it necessary to ask for your opinion on what to do next. ”

"The commander believes that our situation is very serious, and we should now rest on our laurels or simply end this mission. My decision was to move towards the nearest medium-sized city, and directly eliminate the Hydra forces in that city, opening up the situation for our operations. Here, I would like to make it clear to you that the decision of the commander will almost guarantee the safety of your lives, and we will have nothing to lose except that the mission will be doomed. My decision threatens to push you into the abyss of death. And, I can't say that this will get our mission done. All I can say is that this will only push our task one step forward, just one step. ”

"You are all elites from all countries, the best agents and fighters in the world. So I need you to decide now whether to support the commander or support my decision. This is related to the direction of the mission and the glory of your lives, and I hope you will be cautious! ”

Roddy's words were very clear, and he didn't play any tricks. Banner still agrees with this, so he also repeats what he just said in his own capacity. At this point, all they could do was wait for the agents' answers. In this, Banner felt that he had a chance to win. To his surprise, however, things were not what he thought they were at all.

He failed, and he was completely defeated. The data of one hundred and twenty to ten made him almost unable to believe his ears. Why? Why is this the case?
