Chapter 155 Secretary of State Ross

"Your memory is fine." Li Congxin shook his head lightly: "Now there is a technology called video synthesis. It couldn't be easier to add some poor people to the original video."

The reason why he is so sure is not because he believes that the spirit of Captain America can defeat the brainwashing of Hydra, but because he has absolute confidence in his golden finger.

After the US team returned, Li Congxin made him listen to the single "Curse of Pure Heart" for half a month in an endless loop.

With the current level of his "Pure Heart Curse", even if Hydra finds a psychic superpower to use the Mind Gem to brainwash the US team, half a month is enough to completely wash away all negative effects.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Congxin sneered and said, "I said why Hydra stopped suddenly for so long, and the co-author is just waiting for me to announce the cast list, completely hammering the fact that Captain America works at Nirvana Pictures."

The video about the American team was very short, but the follow-up reports and comments were very long and professional, and it was obvious that there were black hands behind the scenes to guide public opinion secretly.

His fingers began to tap on the table unconsciously, thinking about what the other party would do next.Qingfeng's voice suddenly sounded in the living room: "Sir, Mr. Thaddeus E. Ross, Secretary of State, is here to pay a visit. Would you like to invite him in?"

Thaddeus E Ross?
Hearing this name, Li Congxin didn't know that this guy was the Hulk's former father-in-law, the General Ross who had been holding back bad things and doing all kinds of things?

Unexpectedly, after the Hulk and the Abomination incident, although this guy couldn't continue to stay in the army, he changed his job and became the Secretary of State.

Such political skills should not be underestimated.

The appearance of Secretary of State Ross saved Li Congxin a lot of thought. The opponent's second move has already been settled. Of course, he no longer needs to guess randomly, just listen to what the opponent has to say.

"Let him come in." Li Congxin sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, not intending to go down to greet him at all.

Since you are an unkind visitor, how can I be polite to you?

A moment later, a tall, strong and capable old man walked into the living room with his head raised and his chest held high.

It was Ross who had officially changed from general to secretary of state.

Seeing that Li Congxin didn't intend to stand up to greet him at all, Secretary Ross frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything on this issue, but chose to get straight to the point.

"Now there is a video on the Internet that is very unfavorable to the captain, and it is being discussed by the general public."

"That video was fake!" Captain America immediately stood up and retorted.

However, Secretary of State Ross came to the two of them very calmly, and said in a calm tone: "But now the voices of the people all over the country are very loud. For this reason, Congress held a special meeting, and you set a report on superheroes." You can take a look at the regulatory agreement first."

Sokovia agreement?

A look of surprise appeared in Li Congxin's eyes. Until now, he finally knew what role the government played in the whole incident.

It must be Li Congxin and Tony's strong personal strength that aroused their covetousness and fear.

What they want is control!
The agreement proposed by Secretary of State Ross will of course not be called the "Sokovia Agreement", but the "Superhero Code of Conduct Agreement".

Although the name has changed, the content has been changed.

Basically, it requires superheroes represented by Captain America, Tony, and Li Congxin to take action only after obtaining the approval of the US Congress, otherwise it will be regarded as an illegal act.

At the same time, the losses caused by the superheroes in their actions will all be borne by the government departments.

After a brief glance at the content of the agreement, Li Congxin couldn't help but sneer and said, "That video first appeared on the Internet at 19:20 yesterday afternoon, and less than 24 hours have passed."

"And you actually used this short period of time to not only predict the development of the situation, but also hold an emergency meeting and form this agreement?"

"Speaking of the efficiency of the US government, when did it become so high?"

Li Congxin's words were full of irony, but General Ross didn't take it seriously at all, and just said to himself: "Tony Stark has signed this agreement and agreed to accept government supervision. I don't know if you are willing to do the same, Mr. Clark How about signing your name here?"

Facing Li Congxin's rudeness, General Ross's response was equally simple and rude.

There is no redundant explanation, but two choices are simply and rudely given, to sign or not to sign.

Sensing the deep malice of the other party, Captain America has sat down again, with a gloomy expression and no words.

He didn't know enough about modern society, so he knew that it was not suitable for him to express his opinion at this time.

On the other hand, Li Congxin showed a bright smile, and took the initiative to say to Secretary of State Ross: "Since the government defines us as superheroes, it is another identity different from ordinary people, and when you drafted this agreement , and no representatives of superheroes participated."

As he said, he lightly pressed his finger on the "Superhero Code of Conduct Agreement" and pushed it back to General Ross: "So, no matter what is written on it, I refuse to sign it. The reason is the same as before the founding of the United States. , as the pioneers refused to carry out the decrees of the Emperor."

Received impression value +666 from Thaddeus E. Ross!

A superhero supervision agreement, you can actually have something to do with the founding history of the United States, Ross feels that this guy in front of him is no one else.

Secretary of State Ross still said unwillingly: "If you talk about representatives, I wonder if Mr. Tony Stark can be regarded as the representative of your superheroes?"

"of course not."

Li Congxin's answer was firm: "He can't represent me."

Secretary of State Ross sneered: "Then who does Mr. Clark think can be the representative of this special group of superheroes? Captain America, or yourself?"

Li Congxin returned a strange look: "You are also the Secretary of State after all, don't you know that the election of representatives requires everyone to vote?"

"I'll be making a statement in tomorrow's news and newspapers calling for the nation's superheroes to come together and vote together."

"At that time, our elected representatives will naturally accept the invitation of Congress to participate in the formulation of a new agreement."

After a slight pause, he added: "This is a reasonable, legal, and procedural operation, isn't it? I remember that it's written in the constitution, right?"

Received impression value +666 from Thaddeus E. Ross!

I talk to you about superheroes, you talk to me about the constitution?
I can't continue talking today.

Although the desired result was not achieved, Li Congxin's answer was barely within the acceptable range of the government. Although he did not immediately compromise, some talks showed that there was an opportunity, and it was better than directly tearing the face.

Putting the agreement back into the briefcase, Ross said: "I will truthfully convey your words to Congress, and I will leave here."

Seeing that Rose was about to leave, Li Congxin said casually, "Don't forget to take those people from Outer Mansion with you."

"No." Ross showed complacency for the first time: "Because the matter of Captain America has not been thoroughly clarified, Congress decided after research to monitor Mr. Clark's existing industries so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the public." loss."

After finishing speaking, without giving Li Congxin a chance to refute, he directly took his briefcase and walked out of the villa with his head held high.

It wasn't until Secretary of State Ross left that Captain America finally took advantage of his face and said, "Are we being watched?"

Li Congxin nodded slightly.

This is obviously a way for the government to put pressure on Li Congxin.

It stands to reason that the written agreement should be some kind of PY transaction between the government and Tony.But it seems that their two goals are not the same, at least the government doesn't really want Li Congxin to hand over Bucky.

Therefore, Ross did not mention this matter from the beginning to the end after he appeared. Their purpose was just to get Li Congxin to sign the agreement and accept their supervision and control.

As for the relationship between Li Congxin and Tony, maybe the worse the better for them?

It has only been a few months since the US team woke up to the present, and it has not fully adapted to everything in this era. Therefore, when facing this agreement, it does not have a clear cognition and position like in the original book.

He needs to figure out the situation first.

"Clark, are you going to win something for the superheroes by participating in the drafting of the agreement?"

"No!" Li Congxin's answer was simple and clear: "I'm just delaying time."

Looking at the bewildered American team, Li Congxin explained with a smile: "Actually, the matter of whether superheroes need to be supervised is completely a muddled account of whether the public is right and the woman is right, from the perspective of a superhero. , I certainly don't want to be bound by an agreement. But this time..."

The US team was busy asking: "How is this time?"

"The agreement came out so suddenly that the government is taking advantage of it." Li Congxin sneered disdainfully, "It stands to reason that your video of accidentally injuring people has many flaws, so it's not enough to be any strong evidence."

"Moreover, various factors do not meet the prerequisites for this agreement. They just want to take advantage of this battle between me and Tony to jump out and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"After all, in this situation, Tony and I need support from the outside world."

Regarding the so-called agreement, Li Congxin did not intend to sign it from the beginning to the end.

Want to control me through a paper agreement in disguise?
Ha ha!

sign?
Sign you paralyzed!

But Li Congxin also knew that this agreement, including the surveillance personnel outside, was just the beginning.

He drank the remaining half of the juice that he drank before: "Be careful these days, and try not to go out when you have nothing to do. The next troubles will come up wave after wave, making us restless. "

Just as Li Congxin finished speaking, the familiar phone rang again. Looking at the caller ID, it was Hope calling.

"Clark, Minty had an accident at school."

Li Congxin was taken aback when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "Don't panic, just speak slowly, what's going on?"
