Chapter 1091 Chapter [-] Firm Rejection (First Change)
Tony Stark was immersed in anxiety along the way, and the joint command task force and Rose who followed the convoy made him feel like a thorn in his back.Until he arrived at the underground facility, the shadow of terror still lingered in his heart. He fully realized the determination of Secretary of State Thaddeus E. Ross, and why Secretary of State Ross was nicknamed "Thunder".

Even after leaving the army and stepping into the political arena, Ross's reckless madness has not changed.Tony Stark met his old friends under the leadership of several secret agents or embassy staff. Rose walked beside them arrogantly, followed by a large group of task force members who were armed with live ammunition and obeyed his command.

These contingents escorted him and Tony Stark upstairs and over a pedestrian bridge to their destination.

Due to his connections in the military for many years, the Ministry of Defense specially awarded him the title of deputy commander for this operation, allowing him to temporarily mobilize armed forces in NATO military bases in Germany.Since the last Latvinian expansion war directly attacked the NATO military base in Poland, many U.S. troops who were hit by the attack were withdrawn from Germany. Secretary of State Ross has the right to mobilize the largest number of U.S. troops in Germany since World War II.How much he can actually mobilize is unknown, because the level of troops stationed in Europe is very low, but he has at least nominal power to decide NATO's military affairs.

"Let me talk to him first." Tony Stark stopped in front of the meeting room and straightened his collar. "I think I can convince him."

Secretary of State Ross pushed open the door of the meeting room without hesitation and walked in, leaving both the task force and Tony Stark outside.In the conference room, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson chatted with Sharon Carter and Natasha Romanoff for a while. Sharon Carter is an observer who understands the progress of the negotiations on behalf of the CIA. Natasha Romanoff is all about friendship and affection for the Avengers.It's just that she also knew that the split of the Avengers was an inevitable trend, so she didn't chat with Sharon Carter in the same brisk tone.

"I said I would give you an office, not a cell," Secretary Ross said to them as soon as he walked in. "And, do me a favor and stay here and don't run around."

Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson immediately shut up and said nothing.Tony Stark threw open the door in a huff and burst in, startling everyone else.

The four people who were originally in the meeting room saw the group of soldiers with live ammunition outside the meeting room. Natasha Romanov noticed with keen eyes that the armbands of those soldiers belonged to the U.S. Joint Command.The arrival of these soldiers in Germany means that this is the final decision of the Ministry of Defense and the White House, and all Avengers must sign the "Sokovia Accords."Natasha Romanoff gave Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson a look that roughly means this is going to be tough.

"I warned you, this is worse," Natasha Romanoff whispered to Steve Rogers.She had called Steve Rogers back in the days of the Vienna bombings to talk him out of acting impulsively.But Steve couldn't restrain his emotions after seeing the news, so he chased after Romania at that time.

"At least he's alive." Steve shook his head, "That's what matters."

Natasha couldn't understand how he felt, and neither could Tony Stark.Stark pretended not to care and moved to the conference table, pulled out a chair and sat down. "Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes is overseeing the aftermath. Stay out of trouble while we deal with this," he said. "Let's get this over with, Okay?"

"I think he's a colonel," put in Sam Wilson.

"Something happened, he is now a lieutenant colonel." Tony Stark avoided talking about what happened in New York, and did not explain to others that Rhodes was downgraded entirely because after being shot down in New York, He was seen briefly communicating with the enemy.Although Colonel Rhodes repeatedly stated that he did not reveal the secrets, he had to be downgraded due to political reasons.Tony Stark turned his head to Secretary of State Ross and said, "Can you let me talk to them alone."

"No, talk to me alone." Secretary of State Ross left the meeting room with Tony Stark with a cold face.A few minutes later Tony Stark returned alone. "Secretary of State Ross wants to sue you, I have to give him an answer." Tony Stark took a deep breath, trying to calm down the irritability in his heart, "I hope this result is correct, because Ross represents not a person .”

"The shield is coming back, isn't it??"

"Strictly speaking, it's government property." Natasha nodded at Sam, "So is your aircraft."

"It's too cruel!" Sam couldn't help complaining.Until Natasha Romanov reminded him that the aircraft itself was stolen from the military base as an experimental product. If the US government is willing, Sam's charges will be more than that.After remembering what happened, Sam Wilson obediently shut his mouth.

"At least it's warmer than prison." Tony Stark shrugged irresistibly. "Come with me, you'll want to see this."

Tony Stark invited Steve Rogers to the command center separated by a wall, where they could see hundreds of screens neatly arranged on the other side of the room through the completely soundproof glass curtain wall, and dozens of them displayed It is the scene in this underground facility, many staff members surround these complex monitoring equipment like flies around carrion.Steve Rogers looks intently at several screens that capture the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes from different angles, Tony Stark briefly leaves, and when he comes back he walks on purpose Steve Rogers In front of him, he said in the tone of a child showing off a new toy, "Do you want to see something interesting? I found this in Dad's file."

He took out a set of pens. "Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease Act in 1941 with these two pens, and he lent a helping hand to his allies when they needed it most."

But Steve Rogers didn't want to listen to his story. He had personally experienced that war, and after studying later, he also knew who the ultimate beneficiary of that war was.At that time, in order to fight against Nazi Germany, the surging workers' union in the United States agreed to temporarily suspend the strike movement, and joined the military production line to produce armaments with all their heart.However, at that time, entrepreneurs and factory owners in the United States still chose to continue their exploitative behavior and made a lot of money with the help of the outbreak of war-Howard Stark always believed that technology was a tool to make life better, so he Did not join the wave of carnival.This is why Steve Rogers was so dissatisfied with Tony Stark's production of weapons and equipment during the Battle of New York, because in his eyes, Tony Stark completely violated Howard Stark's wishes and ideals .

Steve Rogers said grimly, "Some would say this bill got us into a war."

"If it weren't for those two pens, you wouldn't be here. How do you say that?"

Stark wanted to give him the pen and talk about how important the document it signed was.Steve Rogers knew he was trying to persuade others in this way, and that others might be flattered, but Steve was unmoved.He knew he wouldn't do it, he wasn't going to sign that deal because he didn't trust the Sokovia Accords to bring peace and unity - the Sokovia Accords were a tool that could be used to judge others , this tool must be held in the hands of trustworthy people, but Steve Rogers does not trust the US government, because the US government has failed him more than once.

So Steve Rogers changed the subject.

He talks to Tony Stark about Pepper Potts, about Howard Stark's past and how Tony Stark looks like.It was a very pleasant conversation, both of them immersed in the memories of the past.However, with the passage of time, reality finally moved towards them with the footsteps of the minute hand.

"Sign it. Then what you have done before is not illegal. Barnes will be transferred to a psychological treatment center in the United States, not a court in The Hague or a prison in Wakanda, I promise you."

"Sorry, Tony. Not just because of Bucky, but because of the nature of the Sokovia Accords." Steve Rogers picked up a pen. "I can't sign this deal, I can't go against my conscience .I have fought for justice in the past and will continue to do so in the future."
