Chapter 599 It's time to get rid of the termites It
was the second day that Coulson and Rogers arrived at Koros Island.
They were teleported from the moon base to Kamar-Taj, then returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. before taking a ray-shaped aircraft to Koros Island.
Those who are not members of the Two Worlds Organization do not have the authority to go directly to Koros Island through the lunar portal and must go around it.
Rogers saw Jiang Shan on the rocks on the north side of Koros Island.
Jiang Shan is fishing with Carol.
In Jiang Shan's words, the fighting spirit of Xingtian's tactics is like a knife, which is drawn out to draw blood when needed, but usually kept hidden in a scabbard - to be more specific, it is a combination of hardness and softness, yin and yang.
Carol didn't quite understand these things and was stubborn, so Jiang Shan asked her to go fishing to calm down her temper.
In fact, when fishing, it is best not to catch any fish, and just dry fish; it is best to fish with a straight hook - presumably, when Jiang Taigong used a straight hook to fish, it also had the principle of self-cultivation.
Coulson and Rogers came here, Jiang Shan and Carol sat side by side on the rocks, holding fishing rods, fishing quietly.
Coulson and Rogers looked at each other and stood quietly aside.
But Jiang Shan didn't let them wait for long. He put away his rod and threw it aside. He said to Carol, who was fidgeting and covered in hair, "Is it so difficult to catch a fish?"
When Carol heard what Jiang Shan said, he relaxed, threw away his fishing rod, and said, "I'd rather have a fight with someone!"
Then she stood up happily and stretched out her hand to Rogers: "Hello, Captain Rogers, nice to meet you, I'm Carol Danvers!"
Rogers smiled. "Nice to meet you, too, Ms. Danvers."
Jiang Shan patted Coulson on the shoulder and said to Carol, "Captain Rogers and I have something to discuss. You should take a break and continue fishing. You need to control your temper. A knife is kept in its sheath to preserve its edge. You must understand this principle."
Carol rolled her eyes.
Jiang Shan shook hands with Rogers and said, "Let's talk while we walk."
So the three of them - including Coulson, walked slowly and talked slowly along the beach.
Jiang Shan said: "First of all, I want to congratulate you on seeing the light of day again, Captain Rogers."
Hearing this, Rogers smiled bitterly and said, "The world is no longer the world I lived in back then. Perhaps I should stay in the glacier forever."
Jiang Shan smiled and shook his head: "People who are alive must always face the world."
Then he said, "I told Natasha a long time ago to let SHIELD find a way to find you. In this regard, perhaps I should apologize - this new world is still too unfamiliar to you."
Rogers nodded silently, then asked, "I'm just a soldier. I don't know why I must be dug out of history."
Jiang Shan said: "I am not shy about this question."
Said: "I know that Coulson has taken you around the Earth and visited the various bases I have established outside the Earth."
"In your eyes, the earth must be divided."
"It's like the East of the future world, like the chaotic West and the United States in the Middle Ages, and Africa that has just entered a state of development. In your era, the United States was about to become the world hegemon. In fact, the United States was indeed the world hegemon for a hundred years after you. But now, it has become a shabby place like a garbage dump."
“And on top of that, off-world bases are blossoming.”
“Extremely high upper limits and extremely low lower limits, mixed together.”
"You may have great doubts about me."
"You are wondering why it has become like this? What role do I play in this? Why has the East developed to such a level, while the West and the United States seem to have regressed hundreds of years."
"Back to the previous topic, I came to you for this."
Rogers seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing. He looked confused. Coulson, on the other hand, had a warm smile on his face as always.
Jiang Shan said: "So I want to ask you a question, Rogers."
He said: "You are a patriot, so what kind of America do you love? Is it the America of the capitalists who try every means to exploit the masses, the military leaders who are rampant and do harm to the world, and the politicians who are full of lies and treat the people as leeks, or is it the America of the American people?"
Rogers blurted out: "Of course it is the people's America."
Jiang Shan nodded: "You are from a commoner family in Brooklyn. Capitalists, military leaders and politicians are essentially your class enemies."
"The reason why the United States has become what it is today is because of capitalists, politicians and military leaders."
"I won't deny that I pushed a little bit in there. But it was necessary."
"The people of the United States need to be liberated, and you are the one who liberates them!"
"This is my purpose. This is also your mission to see the light of day again."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He paused and said, "What I hate and detest are those exploiters. My attitude towards the general public in the United States is pity."
"But no matter from which aspect, it is not convenient for me to directly intervene in the internal affairs of the United States."
"Even you would not be happy for an outsider like me to interfere with your internal affairs."
"The United States is the last stronghold of modern capitalists. Given the current world situation, it is time to sweep away these parasites and liberate the people of the world."
"You are the one I chose."
After listening to Jiang Shan's words, Rogers fell silent, with a conflicted look on his face.
After a while, he said: "You may be a great man. But I still have many doubts in my heart."
He said: "In my time, we worked together, whether it was the military, the government or the capitalists, everyone was fighting for one goal, which was to eliminate that spit."
“Although our lives are not perfect, our spirits are high.”
"But why did it become like this?"
He was filled with resentment: "Coulson took me to many cities in the United States, and I found that the lives of the people in those cities were not even better than when I was there a hundred years ago."
"I looked into Washington's tax policy, and it's extremely exploitative. An average person earns $10,000 in a factory, but the tax is over $8,000!"
Jiang Shan laughed and shook his head slightly: "You only know that the American people earn $10,000 now, and the tax is more than $8,000; but you don't know that the value of their own labor is at least $50,000!"
"That is to say, you pay $50,000 worth of labor, but you only get $10,000 on paper, and you have to pay $8,000 in taxes. Out of $50,000, you only have $2,000 left."
“It’s really as exploitative as it can be.”
"The reason is simple."
