The Devil Comes to the United States

Chapter 354 Foresight
"Yesterday, Nigeria, Lagos, the battle between the avengers and the mercenaries affected many innocent citizens... Are they protecting us? Or are they hurting us? Our reporter..."

Because of Wanda's mistake, the bomb accidentally flew towards a nearby office building. Even with Pietro's quick rescue, many people were affected and died unfortunately at the moment the bomb exploded.

Steve comforted after turning off the TV:
"It's not your fault, Wanda. If only I had found that bomb sooner..."

"No, it's my fault. If I could run faster and take everyone away before the bomb exploded, this wouldn't have happened." Pietro hoped that the responsibility could be taken by himself, so that Maybe it would make Wanda feel better.

But Wanda still broods over her mistake, after all, she was the one who sent the bomb into the sky.Wanda shook her head, and finally said:

"You don't have to argue, we are all wrong."

"Yes, we all made mistakes." Steve himself was actually not feeling well, but his legendary experience made him very strong.

The vision appeared in the room through the wall and said:

"Mr. Stark is back. He notified you of a meeting, and he brought a guest. Oh, sorry, I forgot again. Next time I will come in through the door."

General Ross resigned from the military to make way for newcomers, in exchange for a large amount of experimental funds, and General Ross is already ready to go home, he has two new identities - Secretary of State of the United States, anti-superpower criminal Alliance Commander.

Secretary of State Ross put on a suit and stood in front of the conference room, talking with great vigor:

"I haven't seen you in a few months, everyone's spirits are still so good, so good that you can have a party in Lagos! Do you know how the country on this blue planet thinks of you now?

"Zed Oleg the second! That's right, don't be surprised. What is the difference between what you are doing now and him. No supervision, no review, go wherever you want, and then leave a mess...

"I know that you have made a lot of efforts and sacrifices to protect the world during the four years since the establishment of the Avengers, but have you ever thought about whether there is a problem with the direction of your struggle?"

Steve sat on the seat with his arms folded, and asked:

"Wrong direction? What do you mean? Isn't the establishment of the Avengers Alliance to protect world peace?"

Ross opened the video materials of the New York War four years ago, and then opened the video materials of Washington, D.C., Sokovia and other places in turn, pointing to these pictures and said plausibly:
"Captain Steve Rogers, times have changed. Your first encounter with Kirita could have been of a 'do-it-yourself' nature, but what about the later ones?
"Are these casualties caused by your arbitrariness? If there were detailed planning staff, reasonable inspection and supervision, and strict management system, would the Avengers still be like this?

"Not to mention that the Sokovia incident itself was caused by you."

Wanda didn't want to listen to Rose's accusations anymore, and asked straight to the point:

"So what's your solution, or what do you want to do?"

This is what Ross was waiting for. He took out a stack of agreements that were seven or eight centimeters thick and handed them to Wanda, explaining:
"The Sokovia Agreement has been agreed by 117 countries around the world and is implemented by the United Nations. The Avengers Alliance will no longer be a private organization but will be directly under the jurisdiction of the United Nations, and our anti-superpower crime alliance will be supervised at the same level as yours organize."

Pietro frowned, turned his head and shouted:
"You want to control us?"

"It's not control, it's cooperation." Ross called up the information of the Fantastic Four and continued, "These people themselves have received funding from the US government. There is no doubt that they will sign this agreement, how about you? Think about it .”

"What if we refuse to sign the agreement?" Natasha looked at Ross and asked.

"Retire." Rose said the word extremely forcefully, then turned and left Stark Tower.

After Ross left, Steve read aloud:
"I guessed that they would not give up. I didn't expect them to come so soon, and to pick such a critical moment."

"Guys, what do you think?" Natasha turned her head to look at the people at the conference table.

Although Roddy and Sam were both from the Air Force, they had completely different views on this matter; Vision analyzed it with extremely rational thinking logic, and thought that he should sign the Sokovia Agreement; Wanda was still hesitating, but Anyone with a discerning eye could see the resistance in her eyes; Hawkeye, who was still at home, got the news, and chose to retire without saying a word...

The two most important votes fell to Steve and Tony respectively, and the two had already made their own choices.

Tony walked to the coffee table, looking for tranquilizers, and said:
"Charlie Spencer, a fresh graduate with excellent grades. He intends to see the world and gain experience before officially entering the work force.

"If it were me, I would definitely go to Las Vegas or Paris, but he didn't. He chose to help the poor, and guess where he went - Sokovia..."

After taking two tranquilizers, Tony's mood stabilized a lot, so he continued:
"We should be regulated, we can't be lawless ... let's face it, it's a good thing."

Steve still wanted to argue with Tony again, but after the news of Carter Page's death came, Steve no longer had the heart to argue with Tony.

Tony shouted to Steve's leaving back:

"Think about it, I'll be waiting for you at the agreement meeting in Vienna."

The authorities are confused by the onlookers, and Pietro, who is the least indifferent to this matter, has the illusion that everyone is going their separate ways.

…………

After Carter Page's funeral, Steve was in a daze alone in the church, and Natasha walked up behind Steve and said:

"We will miss her, sorry to bother you at this time."

"It's okay, how are you doing?" Steve asked, naturally, other people's choices.

"Tony, Roddy, and Vision have already signed; Clinton has retired; Sam opposes; the siblings are to be determined." Natasha did not mention her choice, and continued to ask, "Are you really unwilling to sign?"

Steve touched the pews of the church and said with emotion:

"Now I know why the 'devil king' has been adhering to justice in the face of big right and wrong, but he is unwilling to be our companions, let alone bear the name of 'hero'."

"He...he predicted this day long ago." Natasha's eyes drifted towards the sky outside the church.
