Chapter 461 The Avengers Divide
After a brief chat, Joko came to the conference hall with Captain America and Vision, and walked in under the gaze of everyone who arrived first.
It was rumored that Qiao Ke had gone on an interstellar voyage, and now that he came back, everyone was a little surprised for a while, maybe it was more joy.
Everyone was seated, and Qiao Ke sat next to the US team, listening to Mr. Secretary of State talk.
This person is the original General Ross, and fortunately Bruce Banner is not here, otherwise it would be super embarrassing for the two to meet.
"...the world owes a great debt to the Avengers. You...fighted for us, risked your life to protect us. Some call you 'heroes', but some prefer the word 'vigilante'."
Natasha interrupted suddenly and asked: "What word do you prefer? Mr. Secretary of State."
"How about 'dangerous'?"
“What would you call a group of superhumans who live in the United States, routinely disregarding sovereign national borders, and imposing their will on anyone and anywhere they choose, with complete reckless recklessness?”
After speaking, Secretary Ross began to show the destruction caused by the Avengers on the big screen.
"New York."
"Washington DC."
"Sokovia."
"Latvinia."
"Lagos."
……
All are video footage of the Avengers carrying out missions in various places, causing some collateral damage and affecting innocent civilians.
At this time, Captain America interrupted at the right time: "Okay, that's enough."
"Governments around the world can no longer tolerate the fact that you have operated without any oversight and constraints for the past four years."
"We have a solution." Rose handed out a deal to the Avengers.
"The "Sokovia Agreement", this agreement is supported by 117 countries. It stipulates that the Avengers will no longer be an independent organization without restrictions, and all your actions will be supervised by the UN special team, and you can only act when the special team deems it necessary."
Captain America took the lead and said: "The Avengers were formed to make the world safer, and I think we did it."
Rose: "Captain, tell me, do you know where Saul and Banner are now?"
"They are all walking nuclear bombs, full of terrifying threats at all times. Once they are allowed to explode, no matter where they are, they will suffer."
At this time, Qiao Ke said: "We may be dangerous, but we already exist. I don't think an agreement will change anything."
"Mr. Ross, think about Hulk, can you control it? If Thor signs the agreement, do you think Asgard will admit it?"
Mentioning that the Hulk might have hit Ross's sore spot, Ross walked to the front desk silently: "Believe me, this is the most compromise way, everyone just compromise and take a step back."
Roddy asked, "So is there any emergency plan?"
Ross said: "In three days, the United Nations will meet in Vienna to ratify this agreement."
Steve stared at Tony sitting in the corner, Tony was uncharacteristically silent, obviously Tony had made up his mind.
After talking about Ross was about to leave, at this moment, Natasha asked suddenly: "What if we don't agree to sign the agreement?"
Ross said unceremoniously: "Then you all retire directly." He left a word and turned to leave.
After Ross left, the Avengers had already fallen into a quarrel. Joko sat here with the Avengers, and he was also having a headache about the current situation. Whether to sign this agreement or not has become a topic that the Avengers can't get around.
Roddy and Sam are arguing. Although the Avengers are a team, everyone has different opinions and camps.
Roddy is undoubtedly in the same camp as Tony, who has not expressed his opinion, while Sam wears a pair of pants with the US team. Speaking of which, the most important thing now is Qiao Ke's opinion.
Although Qiao Ke has a very good personal relationship with Tony, he has always considered the overall situation, and now he is also very entangled.
If you agree to sign, you will become a puppet of government officials, and everything you do will be supervised and restricted.
If he refused to sign, he would have chosen to stand on the captain's side, and it would also cause some other influences because of his sensitive identity as the deputy director of SHIELD.
In the first generation of Avengers, Thor and Banner were not there. When Tony and Steve were opposed, Joko's opinion was particularly important.
At this time, Vision spoke: "I have a calculation formula."
"Since Mr. Stark declared himself Iron Man eight years ago, the number of superhumans who have publicly identified themselves has multiplied. During the same period, the number of events that may destroy the world has also increased in the same proportion."
Steve asked, "Is it our fault?"
"I'm saying maybe there's a causal relationship, our capabilities attract challenges, challenges breed conflict, and conflict breeds disaster, and I don't think we should be totally against and resistant to regulation."
At this time, Qiao Ke said: "Vision is right. We should not completely resist supervision. Perhaps it is best for everyone to make a choice according to their own needs and circumstances."
Natasha looked at Tony next to her and said, "Tony, you're never as silent as you are today!"
Steve: "Because he's already decided."
Lying on the sofa at this time, Tony got up silently, and he told everyone about Charlie Spencer.
A young black sunny boy with good grades, love of life, a great job, going to volunteer before going to work, he went to Sokovia, the Avengers lost a building on him.
Tony said resolutely: "We have no decision-making process at all. We have to take responsibility, no matter what form, if we don't accept restrictions, we will be lawless. What is the difference between being a bad guy?"
Joko also said: "Except for the tragedy in Sokovia that is our responsibility, we are all trying to prevent bad things from happening, and the casualties are also a choice between less and more. We are not without mistakes. We are a team. We have shared it for a long time. Maybe this time we should try separately."
Tony said: "You mean that those who choose to be supervised and those who choose to refuse to sign will help each other, and the greatest guarantee of our action and autonomy!"
Qiao Ke said: "Yes, it can be regarded as a compromise method, everyone can do whatever they want."
Steve’s persistence lies in his distrust of the system. Whether it is S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, or the World Security Council, they look at problems in different ways. They tend to make the best choice for them instead of putting the interests of the people at the highest priority.
But Tony believes that the Avengers need supervision, he needs a higher-level organization to make decisions, and the United Nations is still trustworthy.
