Chapter 1312 Looking to the Future and Measuring Gains and Losses
What a huge price Tony paid in order to get the support of countries across the ocean is something that many people can't imagine.
It is simply impossible to achieve such a noble level of selfless dedication between countries. Especially when there are nearly a trillion dollars of capital flow involved. No country, no matter how strong its relationship is, can make such a huge investment in order to help the other side without regard for anything. There must be an exchange of interests in order to finally reach such an agreement.
That's what the Stark government is doing today. For this huge amount of money from the countries on the other side, he secretly signed a special contract as president of the United States. And in this contract, many of the interests that originally belonged to the United States were ceded out. This includes not only the overseas bases cultivated by generations of Americans, but also the many capital markets and channels, and even many technologies that were originally top secret. It can be said that once such a deal is handed over, the losses suffered by the United States will be absolutely huge, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a self-severed arm.
Is such a deal worth it? Many people have asked such questions, and even Tony himself has asked himself more than once. Measure everything they give, and look at what they get in return, and everything seems to be answered with a sentence that is not worth it. However, despite the many hesitations and hesitations, Tony finally made such a choice firmly.
And the reason why he insisted on doing so was because he had set his sights on the long enough future. And it is precisely because he is thinking about the future that he is more and more sure that he is doing this is the right choice.
In the future, there will be no place for these capitalists. In their own selfishness, there is no distinction between any country and nation in their eyes. For these big capitalists, the more turbulent the world is, the more they can benefit from it. It can be said that to a large extent, the turmoil in the world over the past few decades has been caused by them.
There was nothing wrong with this in the past, because the world of the past was itself full of all kinds of contradictions. Between nations, between nations, and even between religions. Countless contradictions are entangled, enough for these capitalists to add fuel to the fire and stir up the whole world.
But not now. Although the world is more turbulent today, in essence, countries are becoming more and more connected. The situation in the whole world is already affecting the whole body, and in such a situation, if these capitalists are allowed to do their own thing, then the whole of America will be involved in an even greater disaster.
This is not alarmism, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the disadvantages of capital in controlling the United States have already been manifested. Over the past few decades, the United States has done a lot of wrong things because it is controlled by the capital conglomerates. Although because of the size of the United States, most of these wrongs have been settled. However, it is not without its pitfalls. And with the accumulation of time and the brewing of problems, these hidden dangers have erupted one after another. Today, the United States has deeply tasted the bitterness of this.
Whether it is the resistance of various countries to the US military action or those economic and political sanctions, the former hegemon has suffered a lot. If that's all it takes, what's more important is that because of the operations of these capitalists, the entire U.S. government has been corrupted cleanly. Counting through the so-called parliamentarians, counting through the politicians, there is hardly a clean existence. They are almost all serving the interests of these capitalists, and in order to serve them, many do not hesitate to sell the interests of the country. And among them, Hydra has undoubtedly become the biggest profiteer.
They can remain in the country for decades, and even steal high positions step by step. All of this is thanks to these capitalists. It is precisely because of their existence, because of this rule that they have created, that Hydra is given such an opportunity. On the surface, the reason why the United States has become what it is today is because of the Hydra rebellion, but in fact, the existence of those capitalists and the flaws in the country's system are the most critical reasons.
Tony knew he could leave these issues alone. During their tenure in office, these capitalists had no chance of turning over. But he can't stay in control of the U.S. government forever, and he must abdicate one day, even for the sake of the country's laws and democracy. And it is precisely because he is destined that one day those forces of capital entrenched in the US government will have the possibility of revival.
At that time, the United States will still be the United States it once was. Controlled by capital, it will do many things that hurt the fundamental interests of the United States. And in the future, once the United States does more such things, then he is really not sure whether the United States will still exist.
In the future, human society will inevitably develop in the direction of unity, and under the premise of such unity, such obvious differences and chaotic factors will certainly become the target of attack on the entire human race. Capital can get out of it through the operation of capital, but the American polity will be the last victim. This is something that Tony cannot tolerate, which is why he has made up his mind to eradicate those moths from the country's polity, even if it costs so much today.
This does not mean that the United States does not need the existence of capital, but that the United States, as a country, must take capital into its own hands. He can no longer be kidnapped by capital, he can no longer be manipulated by capital. As a nation, he must have the appearance of a country, and he must have the dignity of a country. And it is precisely because of these reasons that everything he planned is more and more imperative.
The sacrifice today is great, but it is better than losing everything in the future. As long as the country can change, as long as the United States can break free from this quagmire and be reborn. Then what they have lost today can be regained in the future. And if you can't, no matter how much wealth you keep today, the future becomes hopeless. What is the value of these things?
Tony knew this very well, so there were some things he did resolutely. And this kind of practice is actually difficult to get the approval of others. Although he had convinced most of the people before, some people inevitably became distressed when all this was realized little by little according to the plan.
Nick. Fury is the most serious of these people. Because he has a sharp weapon like the FBI in his hands, he has a clearer understanding of the current situation of the entire United States. In his opinion, Tony's series of actions has caused the entire country to suffer heavy losses. This is the blood of the United States today, and it is the foundation of their country's survival. It's a little too unworth it to waste here so plainly now.
So almost subconsciously, he had already found Tony's face and asked him loudly.
"Tony, you can't let the people of that country go on like this anymore. We've given them enough that now they want more, and if this continues, there will be nothing left of the entire American property. At that time, both you and I will be sinners in this country. We have no way to account to our descendants, and we will be nailed to the pillar of shame. So, whatever you do, let them stop. ”
"You've come just in time, and that's the task I'm going to give you."
was pointed at his nose and scolded for no reason, and the look on Tony's face was not good-looking. However, he understands that Nick. Fury's reasons for doing so. He knew Nick. Fury is also doing this for the good of the country. Although with his previous temper, he would not be overly tolerant of him for such reasons. But for the sake of this critical period, he still took out a rare big belly and faced Nick. Fury said.
"Take your people and find an excuse to take stock of those foreign capitals. In particular, China's richest man must take the most severe attitude against him. What I ask of you is that everyone see our ill will towards him, and let everyone know that we can't tolerate this anymore. If there is a law, follow the law, and if there is no law, follow what you think is the rules. Anyway, I only have one request, and that is that you have to show that you are as close to him as he is. ”
"What? Tony, what are you going to do? ”
Suddenly hearing such a request, Nick. Fury was a little confused. Although he is very angry with Tony's actions, it does not mean that he supports Tony's current approach. They have invested so much, and there is no turning back. If they want to regret it at this time, then what awaits them will only be destruction. They can't do that, even fools know that. So he really couldn't figure out what the hell Tony was up to.
Nick. Fury wrote his doubts on his face, and Tony naturally saw his doubts. He has only one explanation for this.
"Don't be curious, I'm just trying to get you to sing a play. Wang Shoufu had secretly contacted me before, and he told me that the forces on the consortium had begun to contact him, and they wanted to cooperate with him. It seems to me to be an opportunity, an opportunity to break into their interior. I don't believe that these vile villains in the consortium will unite like a piece of steel. As long as we can get in, we can figure out how to break them down from the inside. And as long as we can divide them internally, our victory will come more quickly. ”
Nick. Fury wasn't stupid, he immediately understood the deep meaning of this, so his face became weird.
"So, I'm going to put on a good show?"
"Yes, Cyclops. Show your best acting skills, and preferably make those scumbags gnash their teeth at you. Don't forget to give them a chance, though. They need to behave themselves, especially in front of our partners. ”
