This was the first serious meeting in the history of the Illuminati, breaking the tradition of not being serious at previous meetings. All the participants had serious expressions on their faces.
Tony had already talked to Daniel and Dr. Banner about the [New Eastern European Integration Plan] proposed by Doom.
Dr. Banner neither opposed nor supported the integration of Eastern Europe. His expression was very tangled. Although his personal force was already super strong, since Dr. Banner realized (I am Hulk, Hulk is me), he had let go of the knot in his heart. He could use the power of Hulk (Hulk) in his regular form.
This made him one of the few strong people on the planet and even in the known civilization (after all, a doctor with Hulk's power is much stronger than a simple Hulk).
But no matter how strong he was, he couldn't rely on power to solve everything. There were always things in the world that couldn't be solved by force. For example, using super-high-speed railways to build a new world.
This wasn't something that could be solved by fighting. This was related to the future of seven billion people in the world. It required brains, not fists, to deal with this matter.
From an emotional point of view, Dr. Banner hoped that the sooner this technology was retired, the better. Because this kind of thing was obviously beneficial to most people.
But from a rational point of view, because of the position of Eastern Europe, especially the current awkward situation between the New Eastern European Union led by Latvia and several major international powers.
Banner was afraid of creating a new Iron Curtain Cold War, which would be a big setback for the world.
Iron Fist Daniel, however, had more concerns.
"Doom is a dictator, isn't he? His reputation isn't very good. What if our group's railway system becomes a tool for him to rule the country more tyrannically? "Obviously, Daniel was misled by some media about Doom.
Tony explained to Doom at this point, "Although Doom is indeed a dictator and a leader of a dictatorship, Latvia's life is not bad. But Latvia is living a good life, at least much better than other Eastern European countries, especially the other Commonwealth of Independent States. "
"You can think of Latvia as an enlarged version of Singapore that is more tightly managed." Tony roughly explained his understanding of Latvia.
Under Tony's explanation, Daniel let go of some of his prejudices. After that, he had the same concerns as Banner.
"I hope my father's legacy can benefit the world, but I don't want it to become a powder keg that creates conflicts for the world," Daniel said gloomily.
Tony Stark could only pat him on the shoulder and say, "Any world-changing invention is accompanied by terrible disputes. Just like the Ark energy I created and the Helium-3 being mined on the Moon. World War III almost broke out because of this. "
"But there are always more solutions than difficulties. We will think of a way to solve it." Tony's comfort made Daniel feel a little better.
Daniel shook his head helplessly. "Actually, I don't have any other way. In fact, the super high-speed railway system is facing many obstacles. The US government doesn't want us to sell any related equipment, and they don't want any country to buy this system. "
Tony nodded in understanding. "Because all the politicians have their financial backers behind them. Once our railway system is launched, it will be a fatal blow to all the traditional freight industries."
"It's just like the impact of new energy on fossil fuels. But we have to look at the bright side of everything. The impact of fossil fuels has made many people unemployed, but the war that has been burning in the Middle East for decades has stopped. Millions of lives have been saved. "
"There will be no more wars because of oil resources in the future." Tony patted Daniel on the shoulder and said, "I will think of a way to deal with this matter. After all, the Horizon Foundation is already the second largest shareholder of the Randall Group. I will think of a solution. "
So with all kinds of problems, Tony summoned the members of the Illuminati for a new round of meetings.
There was no picnic, no barbecue, no beer, and no swimming pool for this meeting. Everyone sat around the prototype conference table in the conference room and thought about the problems.
"The problem now is very simple, everyone. Doom wants to integrate the new Eastern European Union." After Tony distributed the sorted information to everyone, he said, "He wants to use the super-high-speed railway system to connect the entire Eastern European CIS countries into one."
Dr. Hank flipped through the documents, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, and said, "Judging from this plan, if this plan is really realized, it will take less than half an hour to travel from one country to another in the new Eastern European CIS countries. It's even faster than returning to my residential area in Brooklyn after buying fried chicken from a fried chicken restaurant in Manhattan. "
President Rogers carefully read all the information before saying, "Does he want to turn the entire new Eastern European Union into his personal kingdom?"
Li Jie flipped through the documents and finally exhaled. His action attracted the attention of the others.
Professor Charles was the first to look over and asked, "Do you have any ideas? Nightcrawler. "
Li Jie looked at Professor Charles and said, "Actually, Doom found me yesterday. It's about the new Eastern European integration. He actually told me through the Internet. "
"What?!" Everyone looked at Li Jie in surprise.
In fact, after teaming up with Doom to kill the Lord Man and the Ten Rings Gang last time, Doom, Li Jie, and Tony had some loose connections.
And yesterday, Doom contacted Li Jie through this channel.
At that time, Li Jie had just answered a call from Dr. Banner and learned about what Doom wanted to do, which was the proposal for the new Eastern European integration.
"Doom." Li Jie received Doom's message and already knew that it was from him.
"Hello Nightcrawler, I think you've already guessed why I'm sending you a message?" Doom's tone was very relaxed.
However, Li Jie had always been vigilant against Doom, even if the two had cooperated once before.
Li Jie deliberately said, "What are you talking about?"
Doom smiled and said, "Don't play dumb with me. In fact, you're secretly cooperating with Tony and even some other people, right? "
"Just like the previous battle in New York, don't tell me that it was all an accident. About aliens and whatever else, don't say that it has nothing to do with you. If you really deny it like that, you're insulting my IQ, and at the same time, you're insulting your own IQ. "
Doom's IQ was very high, and he could even reason about some unrelated things.
"Although I don't know what you're doing, or who the specific members of your organization are. But I want to join you. And the new Eastern European integration is my proof of allegiance! "
Doom's words shocked Li Jie, but Li Jie did not show the slightest shock on his face or in his tone.
He still said calmly, "You're a little crazy, Doom. Do you know how much criticism you'll suffer from the integration of Eastern Europe? Latvia will be besieged again. "
"I don't care!" Doom said bluntly, "If Russia or other countries want to go to war, I'll accompany them to the end. And I believe that you and your righteous partners behind you won't sit idly by, right? "
"I'm just curious, what do you want to do? Change the world? Or was he doing something else? I'm very interested. Don't you think this world is old and boring? We've lived a certain way for thousands of years, and even with the development of technology, its essence hasn't changed, "Doom said seriously.
"Super high-speed rail project, the Horizon Foundation, Tony Stark. This is actually part of your whole plan, right? But how many countries in this world dare to defy the power of those superpowers and carry out your super high-speed rail project? "
"In this regard, I think I can do you a favor. I want to see to what extent you can achieve and what heights you can reach in my lifetime. "
"So, I want to break this deadlock. Why don't you start with me as a breakthrough in the super high-speed rail project and spread it all over the world? "
… …
Li Jie told everyone about his conversation with Doom, and everyone fell into silence.
The first to speak was Thor. Thor clapped his hands and said, "This may not be a bad thing! No matter what Doom's reputation is, at least he's showing goodwill. Whether he just wants to watch the show or is willing to change and do something. "
"If he really has any ideas, Banner and I will let him know what regret is."
Li Jie smiled and said, "Thor is right. Sometimes there's no perfect way to do things. Sometimes you have to take a little risk. "
"The promotion of the super high-speed rail project is imperative. We need to use the integration of Eastern Europe to promote real global integration and let all other countries understand. Being stubborn will only be eliminated in this new era! Even if there's a conflict, don't forget that I still have an insurance policy. "
Li Jie clenched his fists and said to everyone, "This time, we need to take action and sail for the new era!"
