At the same time, after Tony briefly handed over the follow-up of the airport battle, he received a document from the Knight.
Looking at the information, it introduces a Sokovian special forces colonel named Herbert Zemo.
He killed a psychiatrist and then impersonated the doctor to contact the arrested Bucky.
There is also the whole process of this person starting out by driving, putting on Bucky's realistic human face mask, and placing the explosives outside the UN agency.
Finally, there is a North Pole coordinate, indicating that it was once the Hydra base that created the Winter Soldier.
When Tony saw this, he immediately took off and headed straight for the North Pole.
While in the air, he sent a comms link to the Knight.
A moment later, the call was connected, and Tony asked, "You knew it a long time ago, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Luke's expression was calm: "If I tell you, will you stop fighting?"
Tony opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
The root cause of the Avengers' split this time is still the difference in basic routes, and external pressure is just a catalyst.
The same thing happened to the Bat Squad, but there was no problem because no one from top to bottom wanted to deal with the official side.
Looking at the young master's aggrieved expression, Luke sighed: "If I were asked to take sides, everyone on my side would stand on Steve's side, so I didn't show up."
When Tony heard this, he was speechless.
The essence of the Sokovia Accords is to require superheroes to accept official leadership, which is completely contrary to the basic principles of knighthood.
As the chief superhero of the "anti-official leadership", if the Knight does not come out to help Steve, he is giving Tony a break to the greatest extent.
At that time, Tony will become one of the "very few" superheroes.
And the “very few” are often equated with traitors.
This time the Avengers split has attracted attention from more than just the official and the general public.
Institutions including PDD, Justice League, New SHIELD, and Afterlife, which have a large number of members with extraordinary combat powers, are the silent majority.
The Dark Knight has made it clear to these parties that he will not interfere, so others who want to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters will have no chance.
The leaders of various organizations also reached an agreement with the knights in private to restrain their subordinates from getting involved in this matter.
At the same time, they are all keeping a close eye on their own internal affairs.
Anyone who jumps out after the leader has given clear orders may not necessarily be a bad person, but he or she is definitely an unstable factor.
Arrangements must be made for such people afterwards, whether it is transfer or reassignment, in short, they should not be given the opportunity to enter the leadership and create internal conflicts.
Even if Tony loses this time, at most he will be branded as someone who "failed to compete for the leadership of the Avengers" rather than being the sinner who "created a major split in the supernatural group."
It can be said that in order to help his "technology manufacturing machine", Luke has tried his best to limit the Avengers' affairs to within it.
But he had no idea what the final outcome would be, he just hoped that the arrogant young master could get over it on his own.
Luke looked at Tony's depressed expression and sighed in his heart: "You'd better come quickly. It's best to talk things out between you and Steve face to face."
Tony didn't realize the meaning behind these words. He just hummed twice and hung up the phone.
Could it be that I really did something wrong? He thought: Otherwise, why didn't even Bruce support me
Suddenly, the thought of retirement that I had barely suppressed for the past two years resurfaced.
He is now almost fifty years old, has a wife and daughter, and can study various alien technologies when he has nothing to do.
As the Justice League and the new SHIELD grow stronger, the Avengers do not need to shoulder all the pressure on their own shoulders.
It seems that if they really want to have a calm talk with Steve, and it doesn't work, then the Avengers can only learn from the Justice League and go into semi-hidden state.
With a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind, Tony landed at the gate of the base.
Looking at the Quinjet parked not far from the door, he knew he was in the right place.
Entering through the open iron gate of the base, a moment later he saw Steve and Bucky moving stealthily ahead.
Tony tapped his armor lightly, making a very slight ding sound.
Steve and Bucky turned their heads at the same time, and when they saw it was him, both of them looked a little surprised.
Tony opened his mask and walked over slowly: "The Cavaliers sent me some information, and I know that Barnes was framed by Herbert Zemo."
Steve and the other man breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, fighting Tony is really troublesome.
It's difficult to break the defense, and we can't kill him directly. It would be great if we can clear up the misunderstanding.
Tony didn't pay much attention to Bucky. He didn't like this guy. He just stared at Steve: "After catching Zemo, I want to talk to you alone."
Steve nodded: "Okay."
With just two simple words, Tony and Steve, the old comrade, returned to the same front and quickly moved into the base.
Behind them, Luke looked at a Wakandan fighter plane that was rapidly descending in the southern sky, shook his head, and walked into the base.
African T'Challa has also arrived.
The Wakanda prince's father, T'Chaka, went to the United Nations agency to speak about the eight Wakanda citizens who died in the Glass incident.
It just happened that the huge explosion that Zemo created to frame Bucky happened. T'Chaka suffered a serious head injury and almost died on the spot.
Natasha, who was present, knew about some private dealings between Tony and Wakanda, and immediately used a small dose of Life One to save T'Chaka's life.
However, the old king suffered some irreversible damage to his brain. Although he is not paralyzed, he has to retire early.
Of course T'Challa was unwilling to let go the murderer who almost blew up his father, so he chased the framed Bucky and fought several times, and then joined Tony's team to fight at the Berlin airport.
Now, of course, Luke sent him the truth of the matter in the name of the knight.
Leaving Zemo to T'Challa is a suitable choice.
This time Natasha saved the life of the old king of Wakanda, and Luke handed the murderer to T'Challa in exchange for removing the Mind Gem from Vision's forehead.
Wakanda is currently still in a closed-door policy, and without these two favors, the acquisition of the gems would definitely be delayed for another year or two.
Luke didn't want to waste time like this, so he decided to use favors to force his way through.
While he was thinking in his mind, Tony and the other two had already met Zemo.
Unlike what they imagined, Zemo had no intention of activating the Winter Soldier base to hibernate the Winter Soldiers. Instead, he directly shot the heads of several hibernating Winter Soldiers.
He stood behind the observation window and openly revealed the reason why he framed Bucky.
Zemo's family is one of the unlucky ones.
During the Sokovia incident, his home outside the city did not collapse, but was affected when Ultron scattered his robots to escape, and his father, wife, and daughter all died.
Zemo is not a conspirator, he is just a living dead who has no hope of survival except revenge.
And he went to Bucky because Bucky contained enough secrets to split the Avengers.
As Zemo played a video from 7pm on December 16, 1991, Tony's expression gradually changed.
Looking at the blurry mosaic-like picture of a car crashing heavily on the side of the road, he felt a sense of familiarity from deep in his memory.
When he saw a white-haired old man barely pushing open the car door and climbing out of the driver's seat with difficulty, Tony suddenly remembered everything - this was a video of his parents dying in a car accident.
