Nick Fury's remarks have a hidden meaning.Stark also heard his implication clearly, that is, once he fights the devils because of this, then their actions are very likely to be exposed in front of everyone.Is it really worth exposing something they've been trying to hide from everyone just for the chance?

This is a question that Nick Fury has been thinking about since Strange said this method, and now his question is in front of Stark.In the face of his question, it is difficult for even Stark to give an absolute answer.

Needless to say, the importance of rescuing people is very important to him and to this country.But in order to save people, they would not hesitate to expose the secret operations of the country, and even said that the reputation of the whole country would be pushed into the abyss. Is it really worth it?

Ordinary people may say it's worth it, because this is life.But in the eyes of those in power in the country, this account cannot be calculated in this way.

For those who are in charge of the country, life cannot be regarded as life in many cases, but should be regarded as a strategic resource.

Just like the wars waged by those countries in past history.As long as there is war, there are no undead.And since you know you're going to die, why start such a war?The reason is very simple, that is, the interests of the country require that they must launch a war, even at the cost of dead people.

And what is the national interest.Talk about territory, resources, and population in a practical place.On a more illusory level, it is about national reputation, economy, deterrence and other aspects.

To protect one's own national interests with the lives of soldiers is something that every person in charge of the country should learn.This is the meaning of the existence of the army, and if the interests of the country are ignored because of the lives of soldiers, then for a qualified national ruler, this is obviously putting the cart before the horse.

Stark has realized the problem at this time, and when he realized this problem, the peace in his heart also began to lose balance.

Originally, he was still hesitating, hesitating whether he should keep the country's secrets and ensure that their actions were not known, or try everything possible to bring those soldiers back from hell.

He wanted to find a way to have the best of both worlds.But now it seems that having the best of both worlds is simply impossible.He can only choose one of the two, and this is the key to his hesitation, because at that time he still didn't know which was more important.

But now, the weight has been clearly distinguished.To gamble the country's reputation without knowing the possibility of making the trip is obviously an act of dementia.Although the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are important, they are not so important.

He wanted to understand this, so he nodded immediately, and said to the people present with a heavy tone.

"I see what you mean, Commissioner Fury. If that's the case, then let's leave it at that. Do you have any comments?"

"No, sir."

It is naturally impossible for Nick and Fury to have any opinions as spokespersons.So Stark focused more on General Ross, the representative of the military.In response, General Ross replied like this.

"Your Excellency, the duty of a soldier is to sacrifice for the national interest. If there is no better choice, I am willing to accept such an arrangement!"

The first thousand and 760 chapters and four chapters focus on the overall situation

The conversations between several politicians were so brief that Strange couldn't understand what they were saying

He didn't understand at all how these people reached an agreement, and what kind of agreement they reached.The only thing he could figure out was that they seemed to have come to a unified conclusion.

So, is it time to get moving?Strange guessed in his heart that he was ready to go with the army, because in his opinion, no matter whether it was to distinguish the authenticity of the gate or to find the two gates, he might need to contribute. the job.

Time is running out and what is needed is a quick fix.And on such an important matter, he will not hesitate to contribute his strength.As long as the group of Stark has a request, he will go all out, which is something he has already thought about.Unfortunately, Stark did not have such a requirement.

"Doctor Strange, thank you for providing us with such important information. However, according to the procedures, the current process has entered the link of state secrets. You are not an American, and you have never held an important position, so this information is It is inconvenient for me to disclose it to you. Please wait for a while, and I will arrange a special person to take care of your board and lodging during this time."

Strange was naturally surprised by Stark's sudden remark.And immediately, he asked Stark.

"Mr. President, what do you mean? Are you going to put me under house arrest?"

He doesn't quite understand the official tone in the officialdom, but he can figure out the obvious implication.He was originally a person who came and went freely, but now he was asked to be responsible for board and lodging. From a disguised perspective, his freedom was restricted.For those who have received free education since childhood, this is definitely an unacceptable situation.He would protest, exactly as Stark expected.

And it was precisely because it had been expected, Stark naturally had some well-reasoned rhetoric.

"House arrest? If you understand it that way, there is nothing wrong with it. Doctor Strange, you have to understand one truth, that is, the information you reported is not what you think, just talking casually. As the leadership of the country, we are willing to trust you to take risks. Because any wrong move may cause huge risks to the country. No one can be sure that your information will not be set up against us It’s a trap, and if that’s the case, not only are we to blame, but you can’t run away either.”

"I don't think you want to be charged with such a crime. So, even if it's for your own innocence, I hope you can cooperate with our work."

Stark's words made Strange feel aggrieved. After all, he ran over with good intentions to give you a warning, but in the end he would be suspected of all kinds. As long as it is an individual, I am afraid it is not acceptable. .But after calming down and thinking about it for a while, he roughly understood the difficulties of Stark and his group.

People in high positions have to be more considerate after all.For the sake of the whole country, no matter what assumptions they make, it is not an exaggeration.

After realizing this point, even though Strange still had some psychological barriers, he still had to focus on the overall situation.

"Well, I'm willing to accept this outcome if it's a must."

"Very good. In addition, I will prepare a special communication tool for you. If we need to communicate in the future, it is best to use this tool instead of you suddenly appearing in front of us like today. You are lucky this time, and you didn't hear any confidential matters. Otherwise, you should know what will happen!"

He can even accept the previous harsh conditions, but of course he has no reason to refuse such an additional small condition.After seeing Strange's nod, Stark immediately picked up the phone and summoned the White House guards outside.

"Bob, come in here. There's a gentleman here who needs your help."

The door opened in response, and the guard who had been outside the door since the beginning of the meeting walked in straight away.He obviously didn't react when he saw Strange for the first time, but when he realized that it was an uninvited guest, he immediately pulled out the gun from his waist.

This was the third time Strange was pointed at with a gun today, and such a special experience made him roll his eyes helplessly.As for this, Stark waved his hand indifferently, and said so to his guard.

"Put the gun away, Bob, this is our guest, Doctor Strange. Starting today, you and your team will be responsible for all his operations and safety. He is under your protection, understand?" ?”

"Yes, I understand, Your Excellency the President." The so-called protection is surveillance in a disguised form, and it is impossible for Bob, who was born as an agent, not to understand this truth.So immediately, he put away his gun and made a gesture of invitation to Strange. "Please come with me, Doctor Strange. In the next period of time, my team and I will be responsible for your safety, please rest assured!"

Strange has no choice but to leave with him.And after confirming that the uninvited guest had left, several people present immediately discussed the previous topic.

"Are you really going to give up those soldiers? I don't think it's time to talk about giving up now."

It was Maria Hill who had been silent from the beginning.As vice president, her position is rather embarrassing.After all, no matter what kind of department it is, the second in command is always an embarrassing position.So even though Stark delegated power to her very generously, under normal circumstances, Maria Hill kept a low profile as much as possible.She will not express her opinion casually until she thinks it is necessary.And since she can say such a thing at this time, it obviously means that she has a lot of opinions.

Just sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers is still too difficult for her to accept.So if the situation allows, she still wants to try her best to fight for it.

Everyone knew what was on her mind, and in fact they were of the same mind on this point.No one wants to cut off an arm for no reason.If possible, they certainly hope that these soldiers can come back safely.However, this cannot be at the expense of the country's reputation loss.

This is an agreement that must be reached among their top management, and at this point, Stark has received the support of General Ross and Nick Fury.Maria Hill may be the only one who holds other opinions, and at this time, Stark will of course spare no effort to persuade her.

"Ms. Hill, you should understand. How much the United States depends on the countries of the world today. And this close connection is entirely based on our credibility and sincerity. We will let all other countries The country thinks that we are a qualified friend, not an enemy with ulterior motives. Only in this way can we develop our country safely and restore it to its former strength."

"This is the most basic policy. On this basis, any behavior that may affect this plan is not allowed. Even if it is said, it will be at the cost of paying a huge sacrifice."

"I understand, but we still have other options, don't we? Things are not at their worst yet, we still have time to find other better solutions, don't we?"

Maria Hill fought hard, pinning her hopes on possibilities that were barely visible.And how slim this is, everyone here actually understands it in their hearts.It's just that none of them want to admit it until things really get to that point.

"You're right, we can find other ways, and maybe there are other ways to save them."

Stark is also unwilling to give up hope, but as the president, he must be prepared for all possibilities.So at this time, he had no choice but to be ruthless.

"But at the same time, we also need to be mentally prepared for the worst. You have to understand, Ms. Hill. Only by being prepared can we face any situation that may arise, and we can control this big ship , so that it will not be in danger of overturning in the storm. This is our duty and mission, and we cannot be too optimistic!"

Although Maria Hill was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that Stark's words had his reasons.In the face of national interests, everything should be compromised, including her womanly benevolence.

Just, is this really right?She stared at Stark for a long time, and she nodded her head only after the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"You are right, Your Excellency. I have not thought carefully about this matter."

Such a remark undoubtedly meant her compromise.And this kind of compromise also made several big men present let out a long sigh of relief.

They are a whole, and they are the most important high-level decision-makers in the current Stark government.Therefore, when encountering such a special situation, it is even more necessary for them to work together and be consistent with the outside world.Any disagreement is a hidden danger that may cause turmoil, and as a member of the top management, none of them want to see such a state.

Therefore, Maria Hill's choice can be said to be a happy one.It is not surprising that they will behave like this.

With such a consensus in opinion, the next thing will naturally become orderly.From the army to the government, all possible scenarios have been considered by them.And under the coordination of everyone, every problem that seems to cause hidden dangers has been solved in a targeted manner.
