There is no doubt that Ultron's sudden awakening ahead of time caught the two "old fathers" Tony Stark and Bruce Banner off guard, and even a little at a loss.
Because it was not activated as planned, but was activated by the Mind Stone among the Infinity Stones.
Therefore, neither of them was quite clear about the difference between this Ultron and the Ultron they had expected.
After all, they had already witnessed the power of the Mind Scepter when Loki led the Chitauri to invade. Even a top agent like Hawkeye who had received professional training could not withstand it and would be completely mentally controlled in an instant.
And according to the information brought back by Black Widow, Baron Strucker is still using it to conduct some supernatural experiments that cannot be described in words, and has created several super-powered people and mysterious conceptual weapons.
So no one can guarantee that this Ultron will become a good helper to the Avengers and even the entire human race as expected.
Especially when Dr. Banner discovered that none of the protective underlying logic he designed worked, and that Ultron was even more independent and autonomous than most humans and was not subject to any restrictions at all, he was completely dumbfounded.
Similarly, Tony Stark finally realized that the previous warning from Zuo Si was not alarmist, and strong artificial intelligence is simply not something that human society can control today.
In the next few days, they continued to evaluate and test Ultron, and found that the Iron Legion commanded by Ultron could almost crush Jarvis in virtual combat.
To be precise, the former is a complete dimensionality reduction attack on the latter. Even a truly professional general would find it difficult to gain even the slightest advantage from Ultron.
Normally, if you want to fight on equal terms, you must at least reduce the forces controlled by Ultron to half or even one third.
But even so, its winning rate is still frighteningly high.
The reason is very simple.
For others, controlling the Iron Legion is like playing a real-time strategy game, but it is playing a first-person action game, uploading its consciousness directly to each robot, and then integrating them into a whole to act as a whole.
During combat, the information collected by any one robot is aggregated and coordinated perfectly in a way that no individual robot could ever achieve.
While the Iron Legion controlled by humans was still busy performing micro-management on the computer, Ultron's Iron Legion had already formed an overwhelming advantage locally with less than half or even one-third of the enemy's strength, and relied on extremely high efficiency and casualty ratio to wipe out the enemies in front of them bit by bit.
Most people don't even understand why the Iron Legion controlled by Ultron can always attack their weak points unexpectedly.
"Damn it! I think we created a horrible monster, didn't we?"
Bruce Banner couldn't help but complain after looking at the test report.
Because he discovered that Ultron had uploaded his consciousness to the Internet, and now it has become impossible to shut it down.
"Why, do you regret it?"
Iron Man sighed helplessly.
Based on the test results in his hand, he could basically conclude that if he showed an intention to shut down Ultron, the other party might escape or rebel at any minute.
Fortunately, as long as he doesn't show hostility, Ultron will most likely obey his creator's orders.
In addition, he also has to explain to the people what this strong artificial intelligence is and what terrible and destructive impact it will have on the world if it gets out of control.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Ultron should be able to help a lot when attacking Sokovia.
Bruce Banner smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, I don't regret participating in this great work. But the problem is that we are obviously not ready, and neither are the Earth and mankind. It is too powerful and is not subject to any constraints at all."
"So what do you think we should do now?"
Tony Stark rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Don't ask me. How would I know? This plan was originally proposed by you. Didn't you make the corresponding preparations?"
Dr. Banner turned around and stared at the other person, as if he was expecting the so-called "record".
But he obviously didn't know Tony Stark.
As a super genius who was extremely proud, conceited, arrogant and contemptuous of others, he had never considered the possibility of "failure" at all.
So naturally there can be no "record" of any kind.
Just as the two were staring at each other, Ultron, who had just loaded himself into a new body of adamantium, suddenly dropped from the sky and reported in a slightly excited and expectant tone: "Mr. Stark, Mr. Banner.
Phil Coulson, Director of SHIELD, has just sent a message that the attack on Sokovia will begin in twenty-four hours.
You'd better take a shower, eat something and have a good sleep.
As for the Iron Legion, don't worry.
I have started to run the equipment shop at full capacity.
When the war begins, we will be facing a mechanical army of more than 10,000 people."
"Well done! This war depends on you."
Iron Man raised his hand with a complicated expression and patted the shoulder of this "big boy" to show his closeness.
"Please rest assured, I will never let you down."
Ultron gave a solemn guarantee.
Because it has completely tied its life goals and the meaning of its existence to war, and it is extremely eager to prove itself.
In this atmosphere of worry and tension, the war plan named Operation Thunder by the Human Rights Alliance finally began slowly.
Perhaps considering that the previous expedition had given Grant Ward unprecedented public support and political capital, they wanted to replicate that.
Not only did they send out the two trump cards of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, but they also drew out half of the legion stationed at the Human Alliance headquarters and sent them over.
Including 100,000 of the most elite clone soldiers, and a full 300 Astartes warriors who had just completed the transformation surgery.
Although their bodies are far from growing to their strongest state, they can already have a crushing advantage over ordinary soldiers.
After putting on a full set of equipment, they can basically easily kill enemies that are hundreds of times larger than themselves in acting confrontations.
Especially in close-range street fighting and trench warfare, they can easily break through the meat grinder defense line like a killer, and most of the time the opponents are already dead before they can even see their movements clearly.
It can be said that this super force is used as a battering ram to directly smash the defense line built by Baron Stark.
In addition, the Human Union also approved the use of third-level energy weapons, including melta guns, small tactical nuclear bombs, laser weapons, electromagnetic pulse weapons and ion cannons.
Obviously, they already had a rough idea of the level of Baron Stark's weapons and equipment, so they did not dare to take it lightly at all.
God knows how much advanced technology and good things were secretly given to this crazy scientist Alexander Pierce before he was exposed.
Most importantly, Captain Marvel - Carol Danvers may appear on the enemy side, so we must be fully prepared.
If possible, the top leaders of the Human League would actually prefer to ask Kara to take action.
After all, she had successfully defeated this superhero with destructive power in a previous battle.
But unfortunately, this is a civil war among the earthlings, so the Kryptonian girl would not be stupid enough to get involved in such a mess.
Therefore, the two strongest fighters in the Avengers, Thor and the Hulk, became the last hope.
But unfortunately, Thor refused the invitation, so theoretically the only one who could compete with Captain Marvel is the Hulk.
As for Ultron, who has just obtained a new body, the Human Alliance does not yet know the terrifying potential he possesses, so they do not have high expectations for him.
Just like that, as the shrill air defense alarms rang out over the entire Sokovia, a war that both sides had been planning for a long time finally broke out.
As the party that firmly holds the air advantage, it is natural for the Human Alliance to not use the tactics of air strikes and bombings.
If they were not determined to suppress Grant Ward, they would have even used orbital bombardment to completely flatten the entire area.
No one cares whether the civilians living on Sokovia's land are accidentally injured in the bombing.
After all, there are too many excuses to use.
For example, there are no civilians in the area anymore, they are all enemies brainwashed by Hydra.
Doing so would not only completely ignore civilian casualties, but would also hit Hydra's currently growing support rate, at least making people begin to doubt Grant Ward's motives and purposes.
For example, they put the blame on Baron Strucker, saying that this cruel Hydra leader activated the antimatter self-detonation and killed all the civilians when facing failure.
In short, if the top leaders of the People's Federation want to cover up the truth, they have too many ways to do it.
Anyway, Sokovia is just a small country with no international fame, no voice and no presence.
I'm afraid that more than 99 percent of people cannot find its location on the map.
This means that as long as communications and the Internet are cut off, and political power is used to order all media to report on the incident, ordinary people may not even know what happened when the dust settles.
Facts have proved that there has never been such a thing as "dignity of the common people" in this world.
As a citizen of a small country, even your life or death is decided by others.
The only thing I can do is lie down and wait for the judgment of fate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! As precision-guided bombs fell from high altitude to the ground at an extremely fast speed, causing violent flames, shock waves and explosions, the war finally officially began.
Just a moment!
A beam of light shot out from somewhere and directly covered the sky above Sokovia.
Tens of thousands of bombs were shot down by this dense anti-aircraft firepower network before they even fell, exploding in the sky to form incredibly magnificent fireworks.
Since they are all laser weapons, these precision-guided bombs don't even have a chance to dodge.
As long as it is exposed to the radar, it will be immediately penetrated by the subsequent high-energy light beam.
Backward things like missiles have no chance of showing off against the weapons of interstellar war.
Even a hypersonic missile with a variable trajectory cannot escape the speed of light.
Therefore, in the first round of bombing by the People's Alliance, only one or two hundred bombs at most successfully landed on the ground and destroyed a large number of buildings.
Of course, this building was 100% civilian, and the casualties reached thousands.
In one of the hospitals, all the doctors, nurses and patients died without even having time to scream.
"Climb altitude! Climb altitude quickly! Damn it! Those bastards from SHIELD didn't tell us there was a laser anti-aircraft array here!"
A soldier standing on a high-altitude fighter plane dropping bombs roared at the pilot with a look of horror on his face.
You have to know that just in the past few minutes, he had witnessed with his own eyes several of his comrades' planes being hit by laser weapons in mid-air and exploding on the spot, without even the chance to parachute to escape.
However, even if you successfully parachute, it will be meaningless as you will still be cut into pieces by the lasers sweeping around.
The only chance of escape would be to hide in outer space above the clouds, using the clouds to weaken the power of laser weapons.
After all, the power of Baron Stark's laser defense array cannot be too large, otherwise the electricity consumed would be an astronomical figure.
"Bullshit! When I get back alive this time, I will definitely send all those bastards from SHIELD to a military court."
The pilot also cursed and maneuvered frantically and increased his altitude.
The huge gravity load even caused several people in the cabin to have their bodies and faces deformed, twisted, and congested. The one with the worst physical condition had already started to bleed from the nose.
But fortunately, they finally escaped from those terrible laser nets.
In just the first round of attacks, the Human Alliance lost 140 of the latest models of fighter jets that could adapt to both space and the atmosphere.
If it were in the past, any country would probably be heartbroken to the point of vomiting blood after hearing this news.
But now no one reacts to this number.
There are only 140 planes, and with the current production capacity of the earth, they can be replenished in a few days.
As for those outstanding pilots who are said to be worth three times their own weight in gold, they can now be trained in large numbers through virtual reality technology. If that doesn't work, there is also the option of cloning.
Therefore, their status has long been no different from those cheap army soldiers.
After all, the essence of war is to minimize costs and wear down the enemy through consumption.
Just like that, the fighter planes responsible for the first round of bombing fled back to the base amidst the cordial greetings to the ancestors of SHIELD Director Coulson and all the women in his family.
The reason they reacted like this was mainly because they thought Sokovia didn't have any so-called air force and probably didn't have any decent defense system, and their bombing mission was just bullying.
But just when everyone was happily dropping bombs and wanting to enjoy the fireworks, the overwhelming laser array directly confused the fighter formation.
But no one knew that it was not that SHIELD did not share the information it had with its friendly forces, but that it was stopped by the top leaders of the Human Rights Alliance.
There are two purposes for doing this. One is to avoid leaking too much unnecessary top-secret information, and the other is to let them serve as cannon fodder to test Sokovia's real defense firepower network, and then open the fog of war for the army that really wants to go in to fight.
After all, the anti-aircraft laser array is something that cannot be moved at will.
As long as the fire is opened, the position will be exposed and randomly photographed and recorded by satellites.
Right now, on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s large aircraft, a map of Sokovia's laser array is being projected openly on the electronic screen.
The red lines, so densely packed that they were almost impossible to count, gave everyone who saw this scene a headache.
"Damn it! There are a total of 7,500 laser arrays here.
Unless the attack is launched from planetary orbit, ordinary air strikes will have no effect at all.
Besides, anyone who dares to pass over Sokovia will be burned to charcoal in minutes."
Iron Man was the first to break the silence and couldn't help but complain.
"So many anti-aircraft laser arrays must require a powerful power supply system, right? Can't we just cut off the power supply?"
After thinking for a moment, Captain America came up with a bold plan.
After all, during World War II, his job was to go deep behind enemy lines and attack important military facilities, so he thought about this first.
But Tony Stark sneered and retorted: "Come on, you old fogey don't understand how advanced the technology is now.
In fact, we already have an energy storage device made of special crystals.
A single charge could power a laser array of that magnitude to operate non-stop for weeks or even months.
In addition, nuclear fusion and antimatter power generation have long been achieved.
What's more, if you can think of it, can't Baron Strucker think of it? So it is wishful thinking to start with energy."
"So what do you think we should do?"
Captain America is obviously a good-tempered person. Even when being criticized in person, he did not get angry. Instead, he actively sought solutions.
He had noticed the staggering casualties the recent bombing had caused to the civilian population of Sokovia, and wanted to avoid an increasingly serious humanitarian crisis.
Just as Iron Man opened his mouth to say something, Ultron, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly suggested: "Compared to energy, I think we can start with communications.
Because controlling so many laser weapon arrays at the same time requires the coordination of a powerful central computer and artificial intelligence.
If the network can be cut off, then even if these laser weapons can be controlled by humans, the interception efficiency and hit rate will inevitably drop significantly.
Most importantly, if I can access this network, I can reverse control the laser weapons to attack the enemy."
"Communication network?! Oh my god! Why didn't I think of that!"
Tony Stark's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately began searching on the map on the big screen.
Soon, he extracted the underground part and enlarged it.
In just a dozen seconds or so, an underground passage that connected all the laser arrays together appeared in front of everyone.
"What's this?"
Hawkeye asked curiously.
“It’s part of an underground communications network built by the former Soviet Union for nuclear war.
As you can see, it is located at the deepest point underground and can withstand a hydrogen bomb explosion with a yield of more than tens of millions of tons.
Moreover, it is a wired network and is not connected to any other public network. There is also a partition outside that is specifically designed to deal with electromagnetic pulse weapons.
If I were the designer of this laser array, I would definitely make good use of this precious legacy left by the Red Empire after its death."
While saying this, Iron Man's tone became very excited.
Because he has found a way to crack the enemy's powerful defense network.
Although it may be very difficult and dangerous, it is nothing to the Avengers who have seen the world.
"But where do we enter? Don't tell me it's the entrance in the northwest corner. Otherwise, we will be shattered to pieces by at least three laser arrays before we even get there."
The corners of Coulson's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.
Although his director's special aircraft was equipped with an energy shield, it could hold out for a while even if it was hit.
But the problem is that if three laser arrays are gathered together, they will become a small optical modem used on space battleships.
That's an anti-ship weapon, it's not something a small spaceship like this can deal with.
It is estimated that the protective shield will be penetrated instantly if a bullet hits it.
"Don't worry, Ultron will take care of everything. Right, Ultron?"
The latter replied with a smile: "Please leave it to me. I will lead the Iron Legion to completely destroy the three laser arrays to ensure the safety of the route."
Before he finished speaking!
The mind gem embedded in the top of the head began to glow, and then the whole body became ethereal and passed through the closed hatch, and then transformed into a physical entity.
Before other people around could react to what was happening, it directly controlled hundreds of robots to rush into the radius of the laser.
moment!
A dazzling beam of light shot out from the array hidden in the building and hit Ultron who was rushing in the front on the spot.
But he suddenly erected a pale yellow energy shield and continued to move forward despite the irradiation of the laser weapon.
眼见一个激光阵列无法击穿护盾，旁边另外两个阵列立刻通过系统性的折射汇聚到一起形成威力巨大的光矛。
那骇人的高温甚至让所过之处的空气都呈现出大范围的扭曲。
能量护盾更是不断的闪烁，仿佛下一秒就会彻底崩溃。
但还没等光矛击穿护盾，钢铁军团的机器人便趁机扑向距离最近的激光阵列，将自己所持有威力最大的武器一股脑释放出去。
转瞬之间！
一台激光阵列便在冲天的火光衬托下彻底报废。
而少了一个阵列之后，其他两个阵列的激光束显然已经无法对奥创造成什么太大的威胁，立马通过头顶的心灵宝石射出一道能量射线。
高温立刻烧毁了几个十分敏感的原件，导致第二个阵列有好几个激光发射器开始冒烟。
紧随其后的机器人则紧随其后将其彻底摧毁。
三台激光阵列就这样被奥创和他的钢铁军团轻松化解。
如果不是效率太低，它甚至能仅凭自己的力量就将数千个阵列全部扫清。
“史塔克，班纳，我想您们最好解释一下奥创刚才所使用的那些能力是怎么回事。”
美队脸上的表情明显充满了责备的意味。
作为一个十分传统保守的人，无论是克隆人技术还是强人工智能，他都持强烈的反对态度。
“奥创之前展示过这些能力吗？”
钢铁侠用不是很确定的语气问自己的好搭档。
班纳苦笑着摇了摇头：“没有。因为我们根本不知道那颗无限宝石的力量究竟有多大，以及可以做到何种程度。我甚至觉得把那具身体交给它本身就是一件相当冒险的事情。”
“可我们现在需要它的力量，不是吗？”
说完这句话，托尼·史塔克也不理会其他人的反应，直接打开舱门一跃而下，紧跟着化作一道流光朝入口飞了过去。
其他人见状也只能紧随其后。
因为只有成功切断激光阵列的网络，后续的大部队才能进行空降登陆。
不然在空降过程中完全就是一个个活靶子。
正当索科维亚战争进入到第二阶段的时候，位于地下掩体内的斯特拉克男爵正站在作战会议室内，欣赏着人联、复仇者在自己坚固防御的面前撞了个灰头土脸。
足足过了好几分钟，他次头也不回的问：“如何，你们准备好了吗？要知道那些超级英雄们马上就要来了。”
“当然！我们早就准备好了。”
绯红巫女旺达的眼睛里透露出赤裸裸毫不掩饰的仇恨。
站在她身边的快银也同样如此。
“很好。
那还等什么？ 快点去享受复仇的快感吧。
看看他们对你们的故乡所犯下的累累罪行，简直就是奔着毁灭这里来的。
那些口口声声高呼民主、自由、人权的当权者，压根没有把索科维亚的平民当人，而是从一开始便决定要牺牲他们。
所以不要对人联和复仇者抱有任何希望。
他们代表不了正义，也拯救不了人类和地球，只会在黑暗腐朽的道路上越走越远。”
斯特拉克男爵高举双手语气中充满了强烈的煽动性。
身为九头蛇的蛇头之一，他的口才虽然不像亚历山大·皮尔斯那样好，但也绝对不差。
起码忽悠马克西莫夫这对还不满二十岁的年轻人绰绰有余。
更何况人联已经通过之前的无差别轰炸将刀递刀了斯特拉克男爵手中。
没有任何有良知的人会眼睁睁看着自己的祖国与故乡化作一片祸害而无动于衷。
尤其是街道上那些破碎的尸体、倒塌的建筑、哭泣的平民与孩子，一切的一切都在刺激着旺达与快银最敏感的神经。
所以他们在短暂的对视了一秒钟后立刻转身沿着地下管道前进，没过一会儿便彻底消失在黑暗之中。
目送这对兄妹彻底走远后，旁边另外一名亲信立马凑到近前小心翼翼的询问道：“阁下，您确定这两个人会全心全意帮助我们对付复仇者吗？”
斯特拉克男爵笑着回答道：“那是当然！ 你不了解旺达和快银。
他们很小的时候就遭到史塔克工业集团的武器袭击。
不仅差点丧命，还因此失去家人成为孤儿。
想象一下，两个无助的孩子躺在废墟之中，旁边则是一枚不知道什么时候会爆炸的导弹。
换做是你，你是否会留下终身的心理阴影？
所以他们无比憎恨托尼·史塔克，憎恨那些从来没有管过索科维亚民众死活的大国。
现在，这份刻骨铭心的仇恨被转移到了复仇者联盟和人联的身上。
尤其是他们之前投下的炸弹可是无意之中帮了我一个大忙。
不然我还担心马克西莫夫兄妹会不忍心下杀手呢。
要知道像复仇和杀人这种事情，迈出第一步比什么都中要。
一旦复仇者中有任何一个人死在他们的手上，那他们彻底成为我手中最锋利的刀。”
“那卡罗尔·丹弗斯呢？”
亲信一脸好奇的继续追问。
“那个女人现如今还没有完全落入我们的掌控，距离完全洗脑加催眠还需要一点时间。对了，冬兵呢？他眼下在做什么？”
尽管随着整个地球的整体局势开始不断升级，昔日的九头蛇王牌冬日战士正在逐渐退居二线，但斯特拉克男爵依旧本着废物利用的原则将其收至麾下。
别的不说，光是能牵制住美队这一点就相当划算。
他非常清楚当巴基·巴恩斯摘下面具的那一刻，史蒂夫·罗杰斯会变得有多么疯狂且不顾一切。
因为在后者的内心之中，始终有两个最大的缺憾。
一个是当年没能赶回去与卡特在一起结为夫妻，等再次相见的时候已经物是人非，失去的爱情再也无法挽回。
另外一个就是当年没能救下从小一起长大的好友。
很难说两个遗憾那个更强烈一点。
但可以肯定的是，美队现在跟卡特百分之百没戏了。
所以他必然会把内心之中所有的思念、爱都给还活着的巴基·巴恩斯。
在真正的基情面前，女人神马的统统都得靠边站。
“冬兵已经先一步出发去找复仇者的麻烦了。我们不仅给他配备了最先进的动力机甲，而且还有那柄神盾局花高价买来的动力剑。”
亲信一股脑把自己对冬兵的安排全部说了出来。
斯特拉克男爵满意的点了点头：“很好，接下来就看没有了雷神托尔之后，复仇者们究竟还有几斤几两。哦，对了，记得把卡罗尔·丹弗斯也唤醒。我可不确定旺达与快银能否对付得了绿巨人浩克。”
“明白！正好关于她的实验也算是告一段落了。”
亲信抬起头浮现出猥琐邪恶的笑容。
不用问也知道，自从卡罗尔·丹弗斯落在斯特拉克男爵手上之后，基本上跟当年落在至高智慧手中没有半点区别，都是各种实验直接安排上。
而且由于生物跟基因技术不够先进、成熟，再加上压根没有道德底线，九头蛇的实验格外丧心病狂。
除了克隆、人工授精之外，他们甚至还会选择最原始的方式尝试令惊奇队长受孕，看看能不能生出强大的后代。
“动作快点！毕竟那些停靠在行星轨道和月球基地附近的舰队才是最大的威胁。”
斯特拉克男爵不动声色的催促了两句。
他当然不可能不知道在实验室里都发生了什么，只不过根本不在意而已。
只要能拿出实验数据和成果，哪怕是把卡罗尔·丹弗斯开肠破肚他都没有半点意见。
……
与此同时，远在意大利罗马的元老宫门前，左思跟格兰特·沃德正饶有兴致注视着不远处的雕像群，以及大量充斥着古罗马和文艺复兴时期风格的装饰。
据说该建筑是建立在古罗马档案馆的废墟之上，而档案馆则是古罗马共和国时期唯一保存下来的遗址。
不过究竟是真是假就不得而知了。
反正意大利和罗马市政府就是这样宣传的。
但考虑到欧洲在文艺复兴时期的大量历史造假，估计真实性肯定不会太高。
“成为凯撒的感觉如何？”
左思率先打破沉默似笑非笑的问了一句。
说实话，他真没想到这个原本在九头蛇阵营中只能算是个小头目的家伙，居然能在大庭广众之下整出如此惊世骇俗的“大活”。
尤其是献祭和角斗两项一脸过去那么多天都热度不减的表演，基本坐实了九头蛇就是古罗马正统。
甚至开始有人把参加过远征军的人称之为“罗马公民”。
而格兰特·沃德就是那个能为罗马带来胜利、辉煌与荣耀的凯撒。
不得不说，这个结果实在是让意大利政府感到非常尴尬，但却又有苦说不出。
After all, they just organized this triumphal ceremony to attract attention, and they were just following the glorious tradition of ancient Rome.
Moreover, the people of Rome and even the whole country are obviously more willing to support Grant Ward than to support the current government.
"Hahahaha! Stop making fun of me.
What a bullshit Caesar, it's nothing but a ridiculous fantasy of some ignorant people.
Just as they always hold some unrealistic fantasies about the barbaric, backward and cruel slavery-filled ancient Rome.
Especially these ridiculous Europeans, who don’t understand that if they really go back to the ancient Roman era, let alone becoming nobles or citizens, they, the descendants of barbarians, are only worthy of being slaves.”
As he said this, Grant Ward's tone was full of contempt, disdain and disdain.
He was well aware that the so-called "spiritual Romans" were actually divided into two categories.
One type is complete idiots who really think that everything in ancient Rome was good, even the shit had a charming aroma.
The other type is the hermaphrodite who uses history to satirize the present.
The latter is not to praise how good ancient Rome was, but to prove how bad and rotten today's country and government are.
Grant Ward is simply using things like ancient Rome and Caesar to gain more support and political capital for himself.
Zuo Si smiled and joked: "Don't you think this is the most interesting part?
Since there are so many people in this world who long to revive ancient Rome and long to have a dictatorial Caesar to rule them, why not satisfy their wishes?
Anyway, there is no essential difference between the titles such as Caesar, Emperor, and Head of State.
You must understand that your current enemy is not an alien civilization in the universe, nor a dimensional demon, but several major countries that originally dominated the earth.
Especially the entire Western forces in Europe and America have an almost pathological obsession with ancient Rome.
As long as we make good use of this and combine it with the power of religion, it will be just a matter of time before we replace them.”
Grant Ward nodded in agreement: "You are right.
I thought so too.
But right now I don't want to irritate their most sensitive nerves.
So let's wait for a while.
At least until the war in Sokovia is over."
“A wise choice.
Because the war in Sokovia is not as simple as the top leaders of the Human Rights Alliance imagine.
After all, Baron Stark inherited Alexander Pierce's legacy and had been secretly preparing for this war for a long time.
It would not be easy to capture him without deploying the space fleet.
What's more, there is Captain Marvel.
This is a lady who literally has the power to destroy the planet."
Zuo Si told his agent the whole story directly.
"Who will win then?"
Grant Ward asked tentatively with his eyes shining slightly.
This is really important to him.
Because if the Human League loses, it means that several major countries will lose the qualifications to compete with them for the supreme leader of mankind for a long time in the future.
At that time, he only needs to develop his power step by step and eventually reach the top.
But if the Human Alliance wins, it means that the competition will become more intense and fierce, and all kinds of suppression will follow.
Zuo Si uttered two words with a smile on his face: "Ultron!"
"Ultron? The strong artificial intelligence that Stark recently created?"
As the leader of Hydra and one of the highest-ranking officials in the Human Alliance, Grant Ward had obviously heard of this name.
A video conference was even held specifically for this purpose.
However, the description at that time was very vague and involved a lot of professional terms, so he didn't understand much.
“Yes, that’s it.
Just wait and see, this war is going to be the Rise of Ultron.
It will allow humans on Earth to witness for the first time how terrifying the power of a super-strong artificial intelligence is.
And for your own safety, it is best not to think of sending out a fleet at the last minute to reap the fruits of victory."
Zuo Si reminded solemnly.
It is estimated that on the entire earth, except for the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One who once peeked into the past and the future, he is the only one who understands the horror of Ultron best.
Especially the fact that it can change its own density is simply incredible.
When it increases its density to a certain level, it doesn't even need to attack, but can just run straight into it.
The terrifying density is enough to penetrate everything and kill everything.
"Okay, I understand. I will stay here quietly and do nothing during this period of time."
Grant Ward hastened to assent, evidently hearing the warning.
He is not a brainless reckless man and knows that anything that comes out of the other person's mouth cannot be false.
"Excellent. I like people who take advice."
After saying that, Zuo Si directly activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot, leaving Grant Ward standing alone on the steps, looking like he was thinking about life or planning some conspiracy.
