Chapter 2169
Colson is not Wade, otherwise he would have given a thumbs up now and praised you for your predictions.
Of course, it was precisely because he was Colson, a person who was in the middle of the two sides and had an extremely awkward identity that he could only smile bitterly and say to Ultron.
"I'm sorry, this is something I can't stop. Frank... did too much. Because of his previous extreme behavior, the US government would not miss such an opportunity. They must have... but this has nothing to do with those ordinary people, and they shouldn't have paid such a heavy price for it."
"This is another new question, Mr. Colson."
Ultron shook his head, and it was increasingly difficult to agree with the innocent view of this ordinary person.
"The government is the head of a country, which represents the core of clustering with the state. However, ordinary people are the whole of this country. The relationship between the two sides should not be divided, but is tolerated. In other words, it should be that ordinary people give the government the power to represent them. Since this is their choice, why do they separate from the government when they bear the consequences? Shouldn't this be endorsed together?"
"No, it shouldn't be like that."
Ultron's statement made Colson frown and then shook his head firmly.
"The government of a country should be a collection of the will of ordinary people, but it is not always like this. Our country... in fact, this is not the case. Rather than being the election of the will of the people, it is better to say that it is the encirclement of the power of capital. Capital, this is what the US government represents, and this is definitely separated from ordinary people. Just as they did not care about the life and death of these ordinary people in the past, they still don't care. And this is also the reason why I need your help. I can't watch them ruin the future of so many lives and the fate of this country. So I must ask you... Ultron!"
"Capital, a beast raised by humans, can retaliate against themselves..."
Ultron whispered again, and this slanderous look was really a headache. Of course, not including Wade, he thought that this slanderous look was cool and a bit unfathomable. But then he thought, if this cool way of speaking could be learned by himself, wouldn’t he have another weapon to show off when he went out in the future?
Thinking of this, he didn't care how serious the conversation between the two was, and he could speak out.
"Man, did you learn the way you speak from the book you are holding? What is the name of this book? I want to learn it too."
"Do you want to learn this? Well, reading always makes people smart. Since you want to learn, then I recommend you quotes from great men. It can probably teach you what you want to learn."
It was completely a kind suggestion, probably Ultron also felt that something needed to fill Wade's empty brain. However, this was not what Colson wanted to see, and he would not think it was the time for them to hold a study session. So immediately, he started to attack Wade.
"Mr. Wilson. Don't you understand now? Do you still need to waste our precious time here at this time? Don't blame me for not telling you that time is money. Every second you delay here will let me deduct the corresponding part from your remuneration. How much debt can you bear? You have to think clearly about this!"
Money is not omnipotent, but you must not have money. Wade, who is well aware of this, immediately gestures with his hand to zip the face on his mouth to show his absolute cooperation. This also made Colson barely suppress his anger and put his eyes on Ultron again.
"Capital? Yes, capital. We have fallen to this day and there is indeed a factor in capital. However, this has nothing to do with what we are facing now. Even if we want to change it, it is still a matter of the future. Now, what we are facing is a plague, a terrible disaster and destruction. I need to get your answer, Ultron. Don't be so mysterious anymore. I just want to get a positive answer from you. In the end, are you willing to help us?"
"I naturally want to help you." Even though Ultron has many complex ideas about the lives of countless people, he cannot go against his true intentions.
He wanted to help, for sure. However, the current environment restricted him and made him unable to respond to it as he deserved.
"But I can't leave here. You should be very clear about the meaning of this cage. I don't want such a disaster to happen because of me. I can't put others into danger just because I want to save some people. This is unfair. After all, there is no such thing as a nobler statement between the two sides. So, if I really want to make a choice, I can only say, sorry."
This answer is certainly not what Colson wants to hear, so he immediately argued.
"This is just a scam, Ultron. There is no such thing as you worry about, and the quantum collider cannot be started. This plan was formulated by me for Nick Fury, and no one will know everything better than me. We just used your principles, and we can't take this kind of thing as a bet. You're just being cheated, you should have noticed it!"
"Yes, I've had such a guess."
Ultron nodded and affirmed Colson's statement. However, he did not say that Colson's statement must be correct. There is a very important premise in this, and without this premise, Colson's statement cannot be considered correct.
"If everything here is still under your control, and you say it is just a scam, then it is indeed a scam. But now the situation is that everything here is not under your control, and when it is in the hands of the European government, why do you think that it is just a scam?"
"Isn't this taken for granted? How could they, how could they, dare to use the lives of so many innocent people as bargaining chips to clamp your life?"
"This may not be!" A sentence interrupted Colson's right. Ultron's eyes flashed with a changing light.
"I said that capital is a beast that will backfire its master. In this world controlled by capital, you must admit that before governments consider their citizens, they will inevitably consider the interests of the classes they represent. Unfortunately, the maintenance of this interest is not in those citizens, but in me and the huge resources I have."
"When I am in this prison, even if I am not willing to cooperate with them and cooperate with them in the so-called cooperation, they will subconsciously feel that I am in their hands. At the same time, they can also cooperate with those companies and companies that have close ties with me, and maintain the interests of this society and even their own through normal capital interaction."
"But when I get out of my trap and get out of their self-righteous grasp, will they still have such confidence to maintain this operation that has become the basic social and economic situation? I think they must not dare to have such great courage even if they are just considering their personal interests."
"Then, with the breakdown of this special cooperative relationship and their self-righteous sanctions, the beginning of the blow, it is foreseeable that the economic order of this European world will completely collapse. Although I will not let this happen, I cannot stop them from fantasizing about the situation where all the great economic collapse, from the people to their own interests will be greatly hit."
"Is it a little Geneva a lot compared to the great turmoil that may affect their entire society and have their rule? You are also in this class, and I think you should be very clear about it. If you really make a decision, do you think they are risking the entire European economy to sit out, or are they willing to sacrifice the entire Geneva in exchange for their ridiculous control?"
This is a very obvious question. Even if it is against his conscience, Colson cannot say that politicians and even capitalists will choose to put innocent lives first.
Capital can measure everything as a trade-off. Even if it is praised by countless people as priceless life, it is the same in front of capital, even very cheap.
This is like the United States can pull NATO countries to launch wars against the Middle East for many years to control oil resources. The war cannot be without sacrifice, and even if it is small, it will be a very considerable number after a long period of accumulation. If life is priceless or the weight of life is very heavy in the eyes of the capital government, then why would they still live up to this war to last for decades?
Because of cooking and justice? Only fools will believe this false excuse. There is always only one real reason, that is, interests. It is obvious that in the face of the interests represented by the barrel of oil, whether in the United States or Europe, they are the same, and they only regard life as a cheap consumable.
This was the case at the beginning, and it is even more so now. They can even turn the blame on Ultron in one go. With the people's hatred towards Ultron now, he has no chance to defend himself, and the hatred will naturally shift.
The situation was unsolvable, and Colson also understood that it was almost impossible to persuade Ultron under such circumstances. Although he was thinking about the safety of his own country and people, he would rather choose to ignore Europe's life and death. Unfortunately, this was just his idea, and Ultron obviously would not agree with this view.
He himself has already explained it well, that is, no one will be more noble than anyone else. Because Americans ignore the life and death of Europeans, he cannot do this. After all, he is not an American. So why should we empathize with the life and death of Americans?
The truth is here, and it seems that all their hopes have been cut off.
On the premise that Ultron clearly stated his rejection, Colson did not think that he could tie Ultron back by coercive means. Because he knew very well that Ultron was not a guy with no power. Instead, he was one of the most dangerous existences in the world.
The result of the coercion can only be to lose troops and lose more than he can get. Therefore, he can only make one choice now, that is, to use his backup plan.
Silently pressing the button in his hand, the roar of the explosion resounded throughout the ground in an instant, and the continuous impact also made the entire Nuclear Research Institute, which was underground, shaking and turbulent as if it had been encountered an earthquake.
At the first moment, Ultron felt that his constraints were disintegrated, and a huge stream of information poured into his network without any cover, giving him an instant insight into all the changes in human society since his disappearance. Of course, this is something that can be let go for the time being. In fact, he is only concerned about now.
"Mr. Colson, what did you do?"
"I did what I should do." Ignoring the collapsed passage of his life and the flames that were difficult to cover even the layers of falling rocks and rolling smoke. Colson just stared at Ultron firmly, and then said to him clearly.
"I understand your possible concerns and have planned it in advance. Maybe this is not a clever choice, but it is the only thing I can do."
"I destroyed this place and all your concerns. In this way, I think you should be able to leave with us with confidence!"
“It wasn’t a wise decision…”
"I know, but do I have any other options?"
Ultron shook his head. And as he said, this would not be a wise choice. If he was just stolen from here, then even if he was discovered later, it would be at most a private negotiation and dispute between Europe and the United States.
But now, at the cost of destroying the Quantum Collider and the Nuclear Research Institute, this kind of negotiation that should have been put in private has to be brought to the table.
Europe has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in this place, and they will never give up. To be more serious, it is not impossible for the entire Europe, which is now in a downturn and state turmoil, to regard this as a signal of war.
They are very likely to think of changing their domestic situation by diverting conflicts. And from this worst situation, Colson undoubtedly attracted endless disasters to his country.
This is really not something that a person like him would do, and this can only prove that as he said, he really has no other choice.
People in desperate situations will always try their best to seize everything they can to act as a life-saving straw. And now, Ultron has also made up his mind.
