The reason for Captain America's visit is simple. He hopes to persuade Kai to hand over Bucky to him.
He thinks Kai can understand him and Bucky is innocent.
"What are you doing here?" Tony looked at Steve fiercely.
Steve twitched the corner of his mouth, he wanted to say something, but no matter how fair and aboveboard the reason was, it all seemed so pale and ridiculous in front of Tony. Could it be that, Tony, Bucky had no choice but to kill your father. You have to understand and don't make nonsense. Let's forget the past together and be good friends.
Steve believed that if he were in Tony's position, he would pick up the shield and slap the person who said this without a second thought. Even a third-rate domestic drama would not dare to make up such nonsense.
The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable.
"Kay, I want to talk to you..." Steve just wanted to convince Kay. He knew that although Kay was friends with Tony, he wouldn't listen to Tony on everything.
As a result, Kai raised his hand to interrupt Steve.
"Steve, we've argued about this a few times. Let me say it one last time. Put aside my position that this guy and I are friends, and yours and Bucky's position. That's too much. Let's be objective. Regardless of whether Bucky had no choice or not, he killed people, and killed a lot of people! And as it happens, legally, there are no relevant provisions that say this is innocent, so... it is reasonable and legal for me to arrest him."
Steve opened his mouth, of course he knew this, he just... thought he had a chance.
"Okay, I'll find a way." Steve won't give up on Bucky, absolutely not.
But it was this attitude that angered Tony. He wanted to say something, but Kai stopped him.
After watching Steve leave, Tony angrily said to Kai: "Why did you stop me! That bastard failed my father! He doesn't deserve to hold that shield!"
"Okay, that shield was given to him by your father, not you. That thing is his and you have no position to take it back. Be mature, Tony."
"Why am I immature!" Tony was still angry.
"Put yourself in Steve's shoes, what would you do?" Kai asked, tilting his head. "That's his best friend, Tony."
"But my father..."
"That's different, just like me and Pepper, although we are both friends, there are always differences, right?"
"My Pepper doesn't kill people!" Tony could probably understand what it meant, but he still felt uncomfortable. He seemed to value sex over friends. Of course, if that extreme situation really happened, Tony would probably still stand on his side. Pepper's side.
So, this kind of thing is human nature.
Five fingers are still long and short, let alone a human being. If you treat each of your friends fairly and always be impartial. Congratulations, you definitely have no friends. The relationship between people is inherently close and distant, so there is no point in worrying about this.
Steve and Bucky grew up together, and Bucky protected him countless times. The friendship between them was unmatched by anyone. Bucky was in trouble and Steve rescued him. Is there anything to blame?
"So, you don't have to worry about it. What you have to deal with is Bucky and the people behind him, not Steve. Understand? He's right, at least emotionally."
Kai never believed in any saints. How could anyone really be selfless? This is not a drawback. Although Steve is promoted as a saint, in fact, there are no saints living in the real world. So he can still understand Steve. But again, people are close or distant, and Kai and Tony have a good relationship, so they naturally side with Tony. If Kai and Tony have no friendship at all, but have a good relationship with Cap, he will also side with Cap.
As for the reasons for excusing Bucky, they are definitely lofty, but they still cannot change the core thing.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Tony looked at Kai, he needed some guidance now.
"Bucky, I definitely can't stay. You should know this."
Kai was the chief of a local police department. Bucky's case was too involved. His arrest of Bucky had already made the top brass of the New York police cry with joy. They have made the greatest contribution. As for the subsequent handling, the New York police will not care at all.
The United Nations headquarters was bombed. It was an international incident and none of their business in New York! It's not New York's turn to deal with this kind of thing.
In the end, only the federation will decide, and even other countries in the United Nations will hold on to it. Anyway, Bucky cannot stay in the New York Police Department.
"So it doesn't make any sense for you to come to me. As for who to look for...don't you know better than me?"
Tony calmed down.
Indeed, Kai is still a policeman after all, and it is impossible for him to help Tony kill people. Although Tony is willful, he is not to the point of being ungrateful. Moreover, Kai is only a policeman, and trial is not his job. Although he often plays this role, this incident is too big, and Kai cannot do anything in the face of the world's disapproval.
"I see."
…
The next day, news came from the White House.
Tony Stark enters politics!
This news really caused a stir!
Playboy...in politics?
Many people find it unreliable.
Tony Stark became the science adviser to the White House. Today's world has changed greatly. It is not unusual for the president to add a science adviser, and Tony is fully qualified, isn't he?
Then one of our Stark consultants' jobs was to join the trial of Bucky Barnes.
Upon hearing the news, Peggy Carter's face suddenly turned ugly.
She understands this country better than anyone else. Capital controlling the country is no joke! Kai will suddenly join President Benjamin's ruling team, naturally not for any reason, and it will not be of any benefit to the Stark Group.
So what if I could become president?
The president is elected every four years and can only serve two terms. But capital can influence a country's policies for a long time. Isn't it obvious who is more concerned?
Then the only possibility left is exchange. Tony moves closer to the White House, and the White House favors Tony over Bucky.
Would the president disagree with this exchange?
Of course it's impossible!
Tony Stark, first of all, is well-known. With his support, the president's approval rating will only get higher. Secondly, Tony Stark is Iron Man! When a superhero leans toward the government, the government will laugh out of its dreams. They don't even need Tony to obey the government. They only need to have a name, which is enough to help the government.
You must know that the government does not like superheroes. The first and most important point is that the emergence of superheroes in a sense damages the credibility of the government. If your government does not do well, superheroes will stand up and do what the government should do. thing.
If superheroes all join the government, doesn’t that mean the government is reliable? He is wise and great!
This is why Kai's treatment is so good.
Do you really think that because Kai has a good relationship with the president, he can act unscrupulously?
Of course not, this is the collective will! The entire American political arena needs Kay as a fig leaf!
And this is why Kai is disliked by most superhero fans.
Now that Tony, the thorn in the side, has joined the government, doesn't that mean that the government's work is very effective, and those troubles are just a small group of bad elements doing evil!
We still live in a great and wise America.
They are just stupid people anyway.
So why did the president refuse to agree?
Just because Bucky Barnes is a war hero?
Come on, those are old almanacs from so many years ago! If killing Captain America can bring huge benefits, believe it or not, the federal government will dare to chop up Captain America and sell it by the pound tomorrow!
Don't overestimate the integrity of politicians.
They don't have anything like that.
When Peggy Carter saw this news, she knew that Bucky was in danger.
"boom!"
Ms. Carter's office door was violently pushed open, and Steve walked in hurriedly.
"Peggy! Tony, he..."
Carter looked at his lover and suddenly felt bored.
That sentence is really good. Distance creates beauty. The Steve I am in love with is undoubtedly perfect. Memories are always beautiful, with the blessing of natural filters. But when he regains his youth and meets Steve again, real problems will inevitably arise.
It's like everyone is talking about goddesses and goddesses. If you can shout like that, it's because you can't touch the goddess at all. But Mr. Wang is different. Mr. Wang plays your goddess very clearly. Mr. Wang knows best what she is.
That's a bit extreme, but it's more or less the same.
Of course, this does not mean that Carter is tired of Steve. On the contrary, Carter cherishes this lost relationship more than anyone else. Steve had been frozen in the ice for decades. When he woke up, it felt like everything was just yesterday, but Carter had been waiting for 70 years!
There's just a problem. Steve is still a young man in his twenties in terms of physical age and mental age, while Carter is a centenarian after all.
The generation gap is inevitable.
"Calm down, Steve." When Carter saw Steve now, it was like seeing a newly graduated student. Many things were very immature.
"Help Bucky, Peggy," Steve begged.
Carter's eyes showed sadness, she didn't want things to turn out like this.
"I'm going to the White House. You're going too," Carter said. But there was something she had to say: "But Steve, you have to be ready."
"What preparations?" Steve asked with a pale face.
"Perhaps Bucky can only stay in prison for the rest of his life."
Steve opened his mouth.
"You have to understand that Bucky did do those things... This is impossible to change... If we can find him in advance, maybe it will be okay... But now... he can stay in prison, which is the best result. Yes, Steve."
In fact, if it weren't for Tony's move, Carter would still be sure to rescue Bucky, which is nothing more than a crime and meritorious service. As for those individuals and countries clamoring for an explanation, it is not impossible to fool them.
But now, if Tony gets involved... it will be difficult.
At the extreme end, it would be great fun if Tony revealed what happened to Bucky.
"Is this really the only way to go?"
Pepper saw Steve's painful expression and immediately walked to Steve and hugged him: "We... found him too late."
…
"Our people went too late. If we could have gone earlier..." Sitwell was reporting to Pierce about the Winter Soldier.
"It's useless to say all this. Can we still snatch people from Kai?" Pierce rubbed his forehead and felt a headache. "Damn Whitehall!"
Things didn't develop into what they are now, and it's all because of the delay of the Whitehall guy.
If he could hand over the secret message earlier, he wouldn't be caught by those guys.
"Then let's..." Sitwell asked carefully.
Pierce squinted his eyes and thought for a moment: "Tony Stark is still seeking revenge?"
"Yes, I heard that Stark Group is lobbying several people on the secret committee."
A secret committee is a committee in the Senate of Congress. The U.S. Congress is a committee system, and senators set up committees (and their subsidiary committees) for a variety of purposes, including reviewing bills and overseeing the executive branch. Members of the committee are formally appointed by the full Senate, but members are actually selected by political parties. Generally speaking, each political party determines the order of membership based on the preferences of its members and their seniority. The allocation of seats on the committee to each political party is based on its overall seat share.
The secret committee is the kind of committee that is unknown to the outside world and is composed of the oldest and most influential senators from both parties. They will specifically evaluate and vote on secret issues that are not suitable for public release. This committee has extremely close ties with the presidential cabinet, and their recommendations are often very important.
"Then help Tony!" Pierce said.
Hydra's influence in the U.S. Congress is actually not particularly large, but it is not without its feet. For example, Senator Stern, who attacked Tony's mecha at the congressional hearing, was from Hydra.
There is no way, infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D. has already involved most of Hydra's energy. Naturally, the penetration into the political arena cannot be that strong. And infiltrating the political arena... This thing is indeed very difficult. How far a person can go in the political arena depends on too many unexpected factors. After all, the votes are in the hands of the voters, and Hydra has no way to influence the voters.
Sitwell felt that this was a bit unsafe: "But if the Winter Soldier opens his mouth... why don't we send people directly..."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Pierce twitched his lips and looked at Sitwell with an idiotic expression on his face: "Do you know how many people are staring at the Winter Soldier now? Do you think we weren't exposed fast enough?"
Now go silence the Winter Soldier?
Sitwell quickly lowered his head.
Pierce sighed... I'm so tired.
Because it wants to expand its power, Hydra's elite system will inevitably be challenged... Where do so many elites come from in this world? It's natural to have mixed feelings.
It's developing too fast.
Unlike Red Skull's Hydra, Red Skull integrated many elites to jointly create Hydra, which is essentially an elite. But in SHIELD, they can only develop their power silently and cannot recruit people in a big way. This kind of situation is naturally inevitable.
Don’t you see that the people who are calling the shots in Hydra now are all old guys? There is no way, there is no successor!
Sitville is fine!
"Go do something."
