boom!
When the Secretary of State saw this scene in the video footage, he immediately slammed the table in anger.
Representatives from other countries in the International Security Council also had grim expressions on their faces. Even through the screen, one could see that they were so angry that they wanted to curse but didn't know what to say.
"How dare they do this!?"
Watching the video of the spaceship that easily destroyed 30 of their armed helicopters and hundreds of advanced fighter jets, and then slowly disappeared in the sky, the Secretary of State roared in extreme anger.
At this moment, his heart was filled with anger, regret, worry, doubt, disbelief, and of course, an even more indelible passion.
But when he thought that such a powerful thing could not be in the hands of his own country, but instead belonged to a madman and a freak, he felt both jealous and scared!
Yes, even the Secretary of State is a little scared.
Nick Fury's cryptic reminders and warnings seemed to suddenly echo in his ears.
"... I advise you not to go after that guy. Not everyone is Captain America, and not everyone will go through the same transformation as Tony. The agreement you made is just like a kid who wants to set off fireworks but pesters an adult to buy TNT. If you're not careful, you'll be the first one to be blown up. I hope you won't regret it later."
A kid setting off fireworks
TNT
I want to see if this TNT dares to explode!
The Secretary of State immediately issued a series of orders, and before long, anyone who chose to leave with Dio became a wanted criminal at the highest level, and on a global scale!
Obviously, 117 countries around the world have reached a consensus on the stance towards the Avengers and Dio.
And although this plan caused heavy losses to the United States, everything has two sides.
After this incident, there is no doubt that all countries would be more eager to take the spacecraft and the alien technology for themselves.
If these things were in the hands of a powerful country, perhaps at most they would just engage in some wrangling and ask for some benefits.
But if it is in the hands of just one person, no one will give up such a great opportunity until they hit a wall and get beaten to a pulp.
What's more, this time we are doing it under the banner of justice, so we can act openly!
. . . . . . . .
Two days later, at Peggy Carter's funeral.
After everyone left, only Steve, unable to hide his loneliness, was left leaning on his seat in a daze.
Then Natasha, dressed in a formal dress and wearing high heels, came over.
"When I recovered from the ice, I thought she was dead. I felt so lucky to find she was still alive..."
"She was also very happy to see you back alive again."
After sighing, Steve raised his head and asked with all his strength, "Who signed it?"
Natasha took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Tony, Rhodes, Vision..."
"What about the rest?"
"That's why I came here to find you. Dior, Wanda, Pilcher and Mantis have now become wanted criminals worldwide..."
After Natasha recounted what happened that day in detail without any personal feelings, Steve was very shocked, but his eyebrows were tightly squeezed together.
"You mean, Dio and his team were attacked as soon as they left the Avengers base?"
It was obvious, and Natasha couldn't lie. She could only nod and say, "When the Secretary of State left, I noticed something unusual, but in order not to cause more unrest, I didn't say anything. Plus, your departure wasn't blocked, so I didn't think the worst. So when Dio was about to take his men away, I just reminded him casually, but I didn't expect that those people's real target was him, or the things he had in his hands."
"It seems that all this was premeditated. Not only do the countries want to control the Avengers, they also want to swallow the whole cake in one bite."
Steve took a deep breath and said, "Dio was right to leave. The last incident in Sokovia and what happened in Lagos were just excuses to attack us."
“So I will not sign this agreement.”
Natasha smiled without feeling surprised at all, "I know."
"I came here just to comfort you and tell you what happened in the past few days. If you are not prepared to sign this agreement, don't come back to the Avengers base."
Steve was stunned for a moment, "Sam...what happened to him?"
"Sam is very good, eats well, lives well, swims every day, and watches movies in the cinema..."
"You put him under house arrest?"
Steve looked incredulous and asked while suppressing his anger!
Natasha could only smile helplessly. "When Dio left, there was too much noise, and the military suffered too much loss, so the Secretary of State issued a death order, planning to put Sam in jail if he didn't sign the agreement. Tony reluctantly adopted this method after arguing with reason... At least it's much better than going to jail."
"What about me? When are those people going to arrest me?" Steve, who has given so much for this country and this world, felt a strong sense of betrayal. Was his choice wrong from the beginning
"Steve, calm down. If the Secretary of State really wanted to arrest you, it wouldn't be me who came here today, but the army."
"So do those people think I can still fight for it? Or do they think I am still useful, or do they think it would be bad if they act rashly against me?"
The foundation of trust that had been built over a long period of time collapsed in an instant!
Facing Steve's questioning, Natasha didn't explain much. She also had her own ideas. "I'm going to Vienna to attend the signing ceremony of the agreement. The Quinjet will not be visited by outsiders. If you want to go somewhere, I can give you a ride."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten mad at you."
"Nothing. My reputation has never been good anyway."
"By the way, did Dio tell you where he would be going?"
"I asked, but he didn't tell me. But I think he might not have left the Earth, otherwise there would be no need to hide it from me, and I don't have the ability to chase him into the universe."
With her woman's intuition and her long experience as an agent, Natasha was able to see through Dio's thoughts with almost no effort.
Steve suddenly had an idea, but he didn't say anything. Now was not the time, especially at this critical moment.
