Chapter 591: The Skovya Agreement

Ronin received a call from Steve. He asked all members of Overwatch to go to the Avengers Base because the Secretary of State had something to visit.

This is going too far by involving Overwatch.

But he has no choice now. He is in the United States, and he still has to give the Secretary of State a little favor, so there is no harm in talking about it. If it's too much, then I'm sorry, Overwatch won't play with you.

The Secretary of State personally visited because of the Lagos incident.

Thaddeus Ross, also known as General Ross, has been promoted from military boss to Secretary of State. His ambitions did not suffer much because of the failure of the super soldier project. On the contrary, he also wanted to take this opportunity to control the Avengers.

Although the Scovia Accords stipulated that the Avengers and Overwatch would be managed by a United Nations team, the so-called first-come-first-served approach was that the Avengers Base and Overwatch Base were both in the United States, and it was most convenient for him to exercise power.

In addition to all the Watchmen, the attendees also included Steve, Tony, Rhodes, Natasha, Wanda, Quicksilver, Vision, Falcon, and basically all the Avengers who could come, giving Mr. Secretary of State enough respect.

And Rose, of course, would not miss this opportunity to talk.

"Five years ago, I had a heart attack and passed out during my golf swing, and that turned out to be the greatest blessing of my life because after 13 hours of surgery and a heart bypass, I learned a lot about what forty years in the military What life has never taught me is perspective.”

"The whole world owes the Avengers and Overwatch an irrepayable favor. You fought for us and risked your lives to protect us. Many people regard you as heroes, but some people prefer to use the term vigilante. ”

"Mr. Secretary, what word would you like to use?" Black Widow asked.

"What about Danger? A group of super-powered beings living in the United States who habitually ignore the borders of sovereign countries. They go and do whatever they want, and to be honest, they don't seem to care about the consequences."

After speaking, Ross turned on the screen and played the major disasters that the Avengers Watchmen had participated in over the years.

In New York, the Chitauri army invaded; in Washington, D.C., the space carrier crashed; in Skovia, the city rose from the ground and buildings collapsed; in Lagos, an entire floor was blown through.

There are no exceptions. Except for Lagos, where the Avengers acted alone, both parties were involved in every other incident, resulting in casualties.

“Governments around the world can no longer tolerate the fact that over the past four years you have operated with unlimited power and no oversight, and we have a solution.”

Ross took a document from the secretary, handed it to them for circulation, and introduced, "This is the Scovia Agreement, approved by 117 countries, which states that the Avengers and Overwatch are no longer private organizations. It will be operated under the supervision of a United Nations team and the decision to go out will be up to that team.”

"The Avengers were formed to make the world safer, and I think we did that," Steve said solemnly.

"Captain, do you know where Thor and Banner are now?" Ross asked.

Steve looked up at him, speechless.

"If I lose two 30-megaton nuclear weapons, you can imagine the consequences." Ross continued.

"I don't know what Overwatch did wrong. In such a major disaster, casualties are inevitable. It is not easy for us to save the lives of most people. I want to ask you, how far can you do it?" Luo Ning asked Rose face to face.

Ross blamed, "I won't talk about the recent bar case. Compared with the ones I just showed you, it's just a trivial matter. The problem is that you just make decisions with a slap on your forehead. There is no decision-making at all." To minimize losses, terrorist organizations must plan carefully before doing anything to ensure nothing goes wrong.”

"You old guy, keep your mouth clean"

After all, Quicksilver was a hot-blooded young man. When he heard Ross say that they were not even as good as a terrorist organization, he immediately slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Ross and cursed loudly. Wanda next to her didn't dissuade her. These words also hurt her heart.

"Let's see if you have some rules." Rose's face turned red with anger.

Ronin glared at Quicksilver, asked him to sit down, and then said calmly to Ross, "Well, Mr. Secretary, I'm telling you now that an armed force will attack the State Department building in half an hour. You tell me what to do. Make a cup of tea first." , make a cup of coffee, and then sit down slowly and gather people to discuss the response plan?"

"Now is not the past. Weird things are happening one after another. If we still act in the same old way, the world will be gone long ago. There is no need to talk about maintaining peace and protecting the world."

"Also, since you mentioned the New York incident, let's talk about it carefully. If we had not stopped the parliament's decision at that time, New York would have disappeared under a nuclear bomb, and now there will be no grass left."

At this point, Luo Ning also lost his temper and his voice gradually became louder.

"This is your so-called decision-making. You treat the lives of millions of people as child's play. Now you still think that several of our actions resulted in the death of hundreds of people, and let us be ordered by the United Nations team. It's not me who said, let those idiots make a fool of themselves. Is the order because not enough people have died? In the future, if an uncontrollable disaster occurs, a nuclear bomb will solve the problem. How simple is that? What do you want us to do?"

After speaking in one breath, Luo Ning's throat felt a little dry. He tugged on his clothes, forced a smile on his face, and said to Ross, "I'm sorry, I speak more straightforwardly. Mr. Secretary, please forgive me if there is anything I don't like."

Roning made Ross lose his temper, which made everyone feel relieved.

"Roning, what you said makes sense, but we did cause other people's families to be torn apart. We didn't care about these things when we were fighting. We often only paid attention to them when we saw them. Who knows how many people died without our noticing."

Tony's mind was still thinking about what the woman said to him.

"Listen, Tony, this is not a game. This is a terrible disaster that can destroy a country or even overturn the world. Do you expect everyone to survive?" Roning shook his head, "That's impossible. Reality is not a fairy tale world. It is cruel, far more cruel than you think."

Roning knew that Tony had been feeling guilty since the Ultron incident and wanted to make up for the trauma he had caused to the world and people, so he provided research funds for IT students without asking for any return, just to make himself feel better.

Ross couldn't win the argument, so he just said the most important thing he had come for this time, "Three days later, the United Nations will hold a meeting in Vienna to approve this agreement. You should discuss and make a decision."

"What if you don't like our decision?" Black Widow asked with a smile.

"Then you can retire."

Ross's face darkened and his words were decisive.
