(There will be another update later)
The meeting with Tony Stark was still held in the Stark Industries building. Tony had just flown back from Washington DC in his Iron Man Armor.
He looked a little tired. "Peibo, I'm a little hungry, help me get some biscuits and bread." Tony's voice had an undisguised sense of exhaustion.
"You look very tired." When Li Jie came to Tony's office, Tony was eating biscuits and drinking milk listlessly.
"Yes, very hungry, and very tired." Tony's voice was a little dry. He didn't know if it was because his throat was too dry from eating biscuits or because he talked too much all night.
"I went to Congress to persuade those people to hold a special hearing. I've prepared everything." Tony said as he put down the biscuit. Although he was hungry, his appetite was not very high.
"I even said that I hope they can hold a new United Nations General Assembly to give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
When Li Jie heard Tony's dry voice, he knew that Tony was depressed. "But it didn't work, right?"
"Yes, it didn't work." Tony's vocal cords were a little hurt because he made too many statements tonight and argued with all kinds of arguments.
Little Pepper Peibo, who had a falling out with Tony before, stood aside and looked at Tony's haggard appearance. She couldn't help but shake her head.
"The people in Congress are too stubborn. I used to believe too much in my ability to control things and have too much faith in the government. "Tony drank a mouthful of milk to moisten his throat.
"Now it turns out that I was wrong. They don't want to share the interests of the Moon with anyone. Not even the slightest possibility. "
Li Jie walked to Tony's side and sat opposite him.
"I'm trying to avoid the situation from escalating, but you know it's difficult. Especially after Russia began to attack Latvia. "
"The situation of the war has begun to change. Russia's frontline position has been beaten back. The Latvians have begun to gather their troops for a counterattack against Russia. " While Li Jie was talking to Ancient One in Kamateki, the battle situation was constantly changing. The whole situation began to change again.
Tony Stark, on the other hand, seemed to have obtained first-hand information. After all, he had many friends in the military and had a wide network.
"Five Russian divisions have already been surrounded. It seems like Durm is preparing to fight a battle of annihilation. The latest news is that Russia has lost nearly 20,000 soldiers. "
"The few border cities that we originally occupied have been lost, and the flames of war have begun to spread into Russia." Tony drank the rest of the milk in one gulp.
"Russia has amassed more than 600,000 troops in Europe. Even though they have more men than Durm's army, their equipment is too poor. "Tony turned to Pei Bo as he spoke.
"Now the Congress has asked me to reopen the weapons manufacturing department. Because Russia's weapons and equipment may not be able to support such a war, the Congress expects private companies to sell weapons to Russia in a commercial manner, but I'm afraid the money will be paid by the other P5 countries. "
"No! Tony. You said that you never want to continue to be an executioner. "Pei Bo clearly rejected the Congress' request.
Li Jie was also thinking that this group of old men in the Congress really didn't care about making things worse.
Or because they realized that they had been slapped in the face by looking down on Latvians, so they felt humiliated and wanted to get back at them?
"That's right, I've clearly rejected this request. They also sent a message to the Osborne Group. " The new news brought by Tony made Li Jie a little nervous. He didn't know how Harry would face this situation.
"I've underestimated the young chairman of the Osborne Group. Harry Osborn also quickly rejected the Congress' plan to support Russia." Hearing Tony's words, Li Jie finally felt relieved.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid the Congress' plan will be blocked." Li Jie's mood was slightly better.
"Not necessarily. We aren't the only two arms companies in the United States. You have to know that Hanmo and a recently rising arms company are eyeing such orders. Although their weapons can't be compared to Stark Industries or Osborne Group. "Tony shook his head.
"Now the six countries have reconvened a new meeting, and now the war has begun. It's impossible to stop until a winner is determined, especially in Russia's situation. "Tony was referring to Russia's strongman president. He wasn't someone who was willing to admit defeat.
"I've even heard rumors that the strongman Prime Minister threatened him. If the other P5 countries don't support Russia, he will use nuclear weapons to win this war. " Tony's face trembled a few times, and Pei Bo gently covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming.
"You know, he always does what he says in war." Li Jie understood what Tony meant.
"Is he really going to press the nuclear button?" Li Jie was still a little doubtful.
"I don't know, but no one dares to take the risk, because everyone knows what it means when the nuclear button is pressed," Tony said.
"And I have even worse news for you." Tony was prepared to bring all kinds of bad news today.
"I heard that the Security Council is holding an emergency meeting. It's about the fall of S.H.E.L.D. in New York. They might need to find someone to take the blame. "
Li Jie had actually already guessed it when he saw the fallen national flag in the S.H.E.L.D. headquarters. The political significance of this matter was too deep.
"Although I don't like Nick Fury very much, I don't think it's a good idea to find someone to replace him at this stage. But the internal struggle in the Security Council is also very fierce. A lot of people are eyeing the position of director of S.H.E.L.D. covetously. Who knows what will happen to S.H.E.L.D. in the future. "
Li Jie's mood had begun to sink when he heard the news. "The fall of S.H.E.L.D. tonight was probably due to the capture of Hydra, but the plan failed due to various factors."
Li Jie briefly told Tony about Hydra and S.H.E.L.D..
"So if Nick Fury really leaves S.H.E.L.D., then I'm afraid S.H.E.L.D. can no longer be trusted in the future." This is Tony's conclusion.
This bad conclusion made Tony more and more annoyed, and he tried to change the subject. "Do you have any more information about Dum?"
"Now I have the most suspicious news about the City of the Dead …" Li Jie also told Tony the news he had received.
"Wait, you mean where the souls of the dead go?" Tony seemed to think of something after listening to Li Jie's narrative.
"I once heard from the scientist I funded, Charles, that the king of Latvia, Dum was his former classmate." Tony stroked his beard and thought.
"Dum once wanted to fund Charles' research, but there was an absurd condition. He wanted Charles to resurrect his mother. "
"If everything you said, Nightcrawler, then Dum's purpose may be a bit absurd, but it can be explained." Tony's words made Li Jie's eyes light up.
On the other side of New York, Captain Rogers, who had just escorted the prisoner back to his cell, received a message from Commander Hill.
