Chapter 4736
"I can finally say it." Lei Shen put down his hammer, "After we came to help, the Shi'ar Empire invaded the solar system. No matter whether this has anything to do with us, it will definitely be seen as our performance of helping with trouble. If we can't solve Krakoa's sanctions, let alone the leader of the multiverse, the Main Universe will be shouted at by everyone!"
"I've wanted to say it for a long time too." Banner said unpleasantly, "The political level of those two people is not good at all, but they feel good about themselves. You guys especially love to listen to them. Now what? Under their operation, we can be said to have lost the lady and the army."
"Now is not the time for cold sarcasm." Captain America immediately stopped Banner and said, "Although the decision to go to support was proposed by them, we all agreed. We can't push all the responsibility onto them at this time."
"But you were right about one thing. Their political level is not high, and they are indeed a bit self-righteous. To be precise, they are a bit wishful thinking, without considering the actual situation. This also has to do with their respective growth environments, and it can't be forced."
"Everyone present is not a master of political struggle, at most they can be called self-aware. However, things have come to this, we must also try our best. At least we must show an attitude, right?"
Everyone sighed in unison.
Political level is like a super expensive sports car. If you didn't have it when you were born, it's very difficult to have it in your life. Because for ordinary people, political struggle is too far away.
In the Avengers, only two and a half people have a certain level of political struggle. Everyone else is basically giving it away.
First, let's talk about those who have it. Don't look at Lei Shen acting like a reckless man, but he is the heir to Asgard after all, and he has also received heir education since he was a child. Even if he didn't learn it well, he could understand some by being influenced by what he saw and heard. Including how Odin balanced the generals under his command, how to balance the spoils of war when winning, and how to appease the hearts of the people when losing. These are very valuable experiences. In the years he followed Odin to conquer, he learned almost everything.
Then Captain America counts as one. Don't look at him as a soldier, but he served as a U. S. military recruitment ambassador for a long time, which can be considered a representative of the military and also needs to participate in the vortex of political struggle. Although he didn't go to the front line long after, he also had some experience.
Black Widow can only count as half. Don't look at her origin in the Soviet Union, but she was a field agent from beginning to end and couldn't touch real power at all. Although she could occasionally see a glimpse and figure out some different meanings, it couldn't compare to those who were professionally trained.
The rest basically have none. Others basically don't have a high origin, can't touch the upper circles, let alone the power center. And only Iron Man is an exception.
You can't say Iron Man has no political struggle experience. Let alone the outside, there is also power struggle within Stark Industries. But his biggest problem is that he has no self-awareness, and he believes in interventionism. With these two shortcomings combined, his political level is not enough.
This is also the main reason why the Illuminati repeatedly caused trouble and became notorious. There is not a single politician who can truly be called level-headed in the entire Illuminati, but they all think highly of themselves and like to interfere. Their starting point might be good, but executing it into a pile of shit, then naturally it will look like a shit-stirring stick.
For example, the matter of banishing Hulk to outer space. Although the cause is that Hulk does indeed cause harm to the city, and staying on Earth is too dangerous. They are worried and want to keep Hulk away from Earth, which is also reasonable. But because the whole thing was handled in a mess, it eventually triggered World War Hulk.
After Iron Man and Doctor Strange left, the biggest improvement was that the remaining people all had self-awareness. They wouldn't set a plan that was completely wishful thinking, and then feel that they would definitely succeed in executing it, but would discuss some more practical problems.
"We must first determine who the leader of Krakoa is and what his attitude is." Banner took the lead and said, "I just saw that young Magneto. That must be from the Central Universe. Although they look easier to talk to than the local universe, that might just be a facade. Their attitude is very important."
"I think so too." Hawkeye said, "These two will definitely not be easier to deal with than the original two. At least in the current situation, they are still showing ease and are not panicked at all. This proves they do have countermeasures."
"You should have heard, right?" Black Widow said, "Young mutants want to have a ring match to test their skills. We can go and watch, maybe we can talk to them privately and find out what they want to do."
"That's a good way." Captain America said, "After the ring match, there will definitely be a celebration banquet. The banquet is the best opportunity to probe."
"However, are you sure you want to participate in the mutant ring match?" Lei Shen asked, "Even watching is very dangerous, right?"
"It's okay, this island has a restrictive effect on mutants." Spider-Man opened his mouth and said, "They won't use too powerful power, and there will be other mutants to restrict them."
Everyone looked at Spider-Man. Captain America said: "It sounds like you know a lot, Peter."
Spider-Man didn't refute either, he nodded and said: "They don't hide anything from me. Or rather, they didn't want to hide anything from us. This kind of thing can be known by asking any mutant, or by observing for a few days, it's not a secret."
"What I really want to say is that mutants want to go to the hot springs together, and they also invited Spider-Man from other universes. Maybe I can follow them to see. If you have anything you want me to express, I can convey it."
"My God, you have actually broken into their interior." Hawkeye sighed, "You can even get into this kind of private gathering."
"No one has malice toward Spider-Man." Spider-Man said, "The local Avengers also invited me to visit. Maybe I can also talk to them. If you have anything to say, I can also bring it."
"Can you let the local Avengers come forward to slightly restrict the Washington side?" Lei Shen asked, "I just mean exerting influence, out of consideration for Earth's safety."
"This can be considered a way, but I'm afraid it's very difficult." Captain America said, "The Avengers are definitely willing to do so, but the problem is whether Washington will accept it. I don't think they are likely to accept it."
"Really smelly and hard." Lei Shen cursed, "Mutants just helped them beat back the alien army, and they turned their faces and didn't recognize people. It's really shameless enough."
"Then what about S. H. I. E. L. D.? S. H. I. E. L. D.'s suggestions they won't consider either?"
"S. H. I. E. L. D. cannot stand up." Captain America continued, "Mutants belong to super-powered people, and they are also within S. H. I. E. L. D.'s jurisdiction. Suppose S. H. I. E. L. D. stands up to oppose restricting Krakoa, then in the future, any super-powered person related to Krakoa commits a crime in the United States, S. H. I. E. L. D. will take the blame."
"Really troublesome." Black Widow had a headache, "It seems we can only start from the Avengers. Peter, you go over first, bring the meaning of our preparation to mediate, and see what they say."
At the base of the local Avengers, Spider-Man was telling what he saw and heard, he said: "Since the new leader arrived, the island is completely different, it looks more orderly. The progress of the project has also become faster, which proves they are very powerful."
Captain America nodded and said: "I have the same feeling, just being able to maintain stability under so many sanctions, and still being able to continue to endure, is already quite not easy."
"They invited me to soak in hot springs." Spider-Man explained, and then said, "The geothermal resources brought by that volcano are very sufficient. If I suggest they use geothermal energy to develop industry, can it express our goodwill?"
"You don't need to suggest this, right?" The local Iron Man said, "But anyone can think of using geothermal energy."
"But I can give some technical suggestions." Spider-Man said, "I can take the opportunity to soak in the hot springs to inspect the geographical conditions there and give a feasible plan. We aren't trying to help mutants with all our strength, just to express our attitude. If they are interested in cooperation, that would be even better."
"This is a way." Captain America said, "But you are only responsible for inspection, leave the rest to Tony. It's not that I don't believe in your technical level, but in case this thing has any problems in the future, you might not be able to bear the responsibility."
"I have a question." Winter Soldier said, "How dare they use our plan?"
"They might not necessarily use it." Captain America replied, "But as long as we give it, the attitude can be considered delivered. Not to mention, I believe the plan given by Stark Industries must be the best plan. If they are interested in cooperation, that would be even better."
"Can Stark Industries violate the sanctions order?" Hawkeye asked.
Everyone turned to look at Iron Man. Iron Man said: "Definitely can't violate it directly, but can think of ways to bypass it. If it really doesn't work, wearing armor to walk around the Earth every day, and taking a short rest on an island in the middle of the ocean, guiding for an hour or two, isn't a problem, right?"
Iron Man spread his hands: "Everyone knows I'm a mess. Washington has long since given up on me. They want to separate Stark Industries and Stark, but obviously, Stark's support is more important than Stark Industries."
"That's indeed the case." Spider-Man nodded and said, "If you help Krakoa in your personal name, no one can say anything. And your help is precisely the most important."
"Then let's do it." Captain America summarized, "We promise to provide technical support to Krakoa in the name of Iron Man to show the goodwill of the entire Avengers."
"But the sanction problem is still not solved." Black Widow said, "The various resources needed for industrial development are not a small amount, and they are embargoed by both air and sea, and they are constantly harassed, so where will the resources come from?"
Lei Shen shook his head and said: "We show goodwill to mutants to let them know that we and the U. S. government are not one body. Not everyone is helping those politicians bully them. This is to give them emotional value, so they don't go to extremes. After all, if mutants go crazy, the entire Nine Realms will suffer."
"However, we have no obligation, and it's best not to help them lift sanctions. Because if they have no way themselves and can't survive this hurdle, then Krakoa will always be scattered."
"Whether a country can stand in the international community forever depends on its own strength, not on others' help. Or at least they must have the heart to stand on their own. We just need to show an attitude, and appease their emotions. What the fate of this country will be in the future depends on themselves, and it can only be themselves."
