Chapter 813 Bill
"Five years ago, I was about to hit baseball when I had a heart attack, and it turned out to be the best shot of my life, because after 13 hours of surgery and heart bypass, I learned what 40 years of military life had never taught me, and that was understanding. The whole world owes the Avengers a big favor, you ...... Fought for us, saved us, risked your lives to protect us. ”
Speaking of this, General Ross, who spoke softly and politely, changed his face and said coldly: "Although many people think that you are heroes, there are also many people who choose to use the word "vigilante" to describe you. ”
"And what words would you use to describe us, Mr. Secretary?" Natasha looked up, a smile on her face, but a cold smile.
"How about the word danger?" General Ross unceremoniously made his position clear: "If it were you, what word would you use to describe such a group of superheroes on American soil, a group of people who often ignore sovereign borders and impose their will on others, a group of people who think wantonly, without thinking about any consequences at all, what would you call them?" ”
After speaking, General Ross gave up the LCD screen behind him, and a map of Manhattan appeared on the screen, followed by an alien invasion of Earth, then replaced by the scene of Washington's World War I, the battle between Rogers and Hydra, and finally Sokovia, where a floating continent fell like an apocalypse, then the huge tsunami of San Francisco that nearly flooded the entire city, and finally the explosion of a bomb in Lagos.
It can be said that almost every time the Avengers travel on a mission, they cause a large number of innocent casualties.
"Over the past four years, you have abused your power, without regulation and discipline, and governments around the world can no longer tolerate this." General Ross let out a heavy sigh, and soon, he looked up at everyone again and said, "Today, we have a solution, the Sokovia Superhero Regulatory Agreement, which has been approved by 117 countries, and the agreement clearly states that the Avengers are no longer a private organization. ”
With that, General Ross threw a thick piece of agreement on the table and continued: "You will operate under the supervision of the United Nations Panel of Experts, and with the supervision of this team, you will be able to act only if necessary. ”
Hearing this, Rogers retorted, "The Avengers were created to make the world a safer place, and I think we did just that. ”
"Please tell me, Captain." General Ross walked up behind Rogers and asked softly, "Do you know where Thor and Hulk and Ling Xiao are now, if I drop a 30-ton nuclear weapon in the wrong place, it will definitely have very serious consequences." ”
"Do you mean that the U.S. government has 30 tons of nuclear weapons ready to aim at me at any time, and I'm really honored?"
Ling Xiao's voice suddenly sounded in the office, everyone turned their heads and followed the sound, but saw that Ling Xiao's figure had been sitting on the chair on the side at some point, Ling Xiao looked at General Ross with a sneer, and said: "Thor is now in Asgard, if you want to see him, I can give you a notice, as for Bruce, are you sure you really want to see him, Mr. Secretary, I'm worried that the two of you will fight when you meet?" ”
The reason why Hulk was born was because Bruce Banner participated in an experimental mission secretly carried out by General Ross, and was hit by gamma rays during the experiment, which finally led to the birth of Hulk, if it weren't for the birth of Hulk, Bruce might have become General Ross's son-in-law.
Many of those present knew this, Stark, Natasha, Rogers, and Colonel Roddy were all insiders, and the rest of them, because the U.S. government was trying to block the news, so they didn't know about the recent relationship between General Ross and Dr. Banner.
Hearing Ling Xiao say this, General Ross couldn't help but grit his teeth fiercely, but a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he said to Ling Xiao: "Mr. Ling, I don't know where you came from, I asked people to call Siwei Island before, but no one knows your whereabouts." ”
"Don't blame them, I've been in retreat, telling them that I won't answer any phone calls from the outside world, and I won't let them reveal my whereabouts." Ling Xiao chuckled, crossed Erlang's legs, looked at General Ross and said: "I didn't expect that as soon as I came out of the customs and arrived here, I saw that the U.S. government began to liquidate the Avengers, and I dare not say how many people the Avengers have saved over the years, but the innocent victims are not even one in a million." ”
"Mr. Ling, you are mistaken, this is not the liquidation of the Avengers by the US government." General Ross glanced at everyone present and saw that the faces of everyone present were a little unpleasant, and quickly explained: "This is a regulatory agreement jointly approved by 117 countries in the United Nations. ”
"117 countries?" Ling Xiao sneered disdainfully and said, "What about the 76 countries, do those 76 countries abstain or oppose it?" ”
You must know that in the United Nations, there are a total of 193 countries, and General Ross replaced the entire United Nations with 117 countries, which is somewhat exaggerated, not to mention that there are a total of 233 countries in the world, and the total number of countries that have passed the agreement is only just half of the number of countries in the world.
"The minority obeys the majority, this is the institutional principle of the United Nations General Assembly, and other countries will follow it." General Rose's face calmed down, he knew that his worst enemy had finally appeared, a long time ago, when the news of the superhero registration bill spread, Ling Xiao had always been the most staunch opponent of this bill, and he had always been feared by the US government, especially after the San Francisco incident.
One of the main reasons why the U.S. government chose this time to attack is that Ling Xiao's whereabouts are unknown, after the San Francisco incident, Ling Xiao and the Phoenix Girl disappeared together, and then the U.S. government did not contact him through various means, and the CIA's undercover agents in Los Angeles and Siwei Island came with news that Ling Xiao was not in these two places, in fact, even the senior management of Siwei Technology Group did not know Ling Xiao's current whereabouts.
Ling Xiao had disappeared for a period of time before, and the name of the outside world was "retreat", but during that time, he had arranged everything when he was away, and the work of the Siwei Group was also going very smoothly, there was no difference between him and him, but now, ......
The incompetent CIA, General Ross will not let Ling Xiao play the topic anymore, and resolutely continued: "The fact is that there is mutual compromise, everyone, this is the way to do things now, believe me, this is already the most compromise plan." Three days later, the United Nations will meet in Vienna to ratify the agreement. ”
Ling Xiao sat there with a sneer on his face, his attitude was very clear at the beginning, which made everyone present couldn't help but be affected, Tony Stark on the other side held his chin and didn't say anything, Rogers had to knock on the table and said, "If everyone has an opinion, just say it." ”
Natasha took a deep breath, looked up and asked, "What if I still don't like such a decision?" ”
"Then you can retire." General Ross looked at Natasha and said the result in a very indifferent voice.
"From the Avengers!" Ling Xiao suddenly spoke, and then said expressionlessly in the surprised eyes of everyone: "It's a retirement from the Avengers." ”
The Sokovia Superhero Regulation Agreement is not as simple as General Ross suggests, the agreement is hundreds of pages long, and the agreement, which has been endorsed by 117 countries, not only stipulates that the Avengers will be under the jurisdiction of the United Nations, but even proposes a framework plan to register and monitor all superhumans.
Accepting the registration plan is equivalent to having the government study your capabilities, genes, and threat levels, as well as your equipment, and even your technology.
And most of these contents are mixed with some harmless words, there are almost no people in the Avengers who are proficient in these legal terms, Black Widow, Falcon, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Captain America, almost none of them have received a complete higher education, and Stark, who is immersed in remorse, although he sees this, has no interest in explaining it to everyone, which makes Ling Xiao have to explain every box to everyone and point out some sinister intentions.
After listening to what Ling Xiao said, Falcon said with resentment: "So assuming we accept this agreement, how long will it take, they will imprison, restrict and study us, just like a group of ordinary criminals." It's completely unacceptable, it's hard for them to come up with something like that. ”
"117 countries are going to sign an agreement." Colonel Roddy couldn't help but argue, "117, Sam, you look like you're having fun. ”
"When did you become a wallworm?" Falcon was very dissatisfied with Colonel Roddy's attitude.
"Roddy is not to blame for this." Ling Xiao waved his hand, signaled the falcon not to argue, and persuaded him: "He is also under heavy pressure, after all, he is an active officer." ”
