Chapter 10: A gentleman can deceive him
"I don't think this requirement is too much. Judging from my information, it took you a short time to transform Colonel Rhode and Sam Wilson, and there were no side effects. Apart from being afraid of sea water, the others are exactly the same as normal people. Super soldiers with weaknesses are the kind we need most, because they will not lose control. Tony also created a device that can limit their abilities. This superpower is more suitable for us than Captain America, right?
I have been pursuing the Super Soldier Project all my life, but I have been failing all the time. Apart from creating a disobedient Hulk, I can be called nothing. Although he eventually became a member of the Avengers, I still don’t think the Super Soldier Hulk is trustworthy, so I have been questioning whether my dream is right. Until Colonel Rhode showed his super powers in front of me, I realized that the Super Soldier I pursue has always been by my side, and I have never discovered it. Charles Ravenhoud, as long as you can provide a way to create a Super Soldier, we very much welcome you to join the military family."
General Ross heard Charles' joke and smiled and told him about his life experience. The failure of the Super Soldier's plan almost destroyed his political career and made him a marginal person. If he hadn't given up on his struggle, he would have retired and returned home to spend his days in nurturing. After talking about his life experience, Ross began to invite Charles to join on behalf of the military.
Charles looked at Ross' hand that reached in front of him, then looked at Ross's expression of talking to himself, and hummed with his nose, and mocked him with his eyes, which led to the two soldiers who followed Ross almost lifting their weapons.
"Calm down, soldier, you don't need your courage here." Ross immediately stopped the soldiers' hostility and looked at Charles again, trying to know how much Charles opposed his proposal.
Suddenly, the weapons on the two soldiers who were hostile to Charles instantly escaped from their bodies, and then flew to Charles's hand. Looking at the weapons floating in their hands, Charles looked at the two soldiers and said, "It is a stupid act to show hostility in front of a superpowered person. Why do I want such stupid people to gain power that they cannot control? They cannot even control the only weapons they have on themselves."
Ross looked at the weapons in Charles' hands and understood that the advantages he had worked hard to create were destroyed by the movements of the two soldiers. Giving power to those who deserved it was something he had been doing and something he wanted Charles to do. Now Charles used the soldiers' hostility to question the military's lack of trust. This result was not what he wanted to see. He wanted Charles to stand on the same side as him, not against him.
"You can leave, soldiers." Ross said angrily to the soldiers who were protecting him, asking them to return to the car and wait for him.
"General, our mission is to protect your safety. In this case, we do not think leaving is the right choice." Although Charles has taken away all their weapons, they still do not think they can leave. Protecting General Ross' safety is their mission.
"If Mr. Ravenhold really wants to do anything to me, you can't stop me. Am I right? Mr. Ravenhold." Ross looked at Charles and asked.
"I don't mind them staying here. After all, I don't know if I will really do anything to you if they leave. You know, I have always been doing whatever I want." Charles continued to answer as he looked at the weapon in his hand.
"Go out, there is no business for you here, this is an order." Seeing Charles' indifferent appearance, Ross could only use orders to get the two soldiers to leave.
Only Charles and Ross were left in the office. Seeing that there were only two people left in the office, Charles put the weapon on the table, looked at Ross, waiting for Ross to continue to convince himself.'
"Charles, I can call you that. Sorry, there are some things that I can't control." Ross said.
"Oh, then what do you think you can control, Hulk, or me? Or, hate? General Ross, you are not suitable for such negotiations, do you know?" Charles looked at Ross and asked.
"But others are not willing to negotiate with you, Charles, you need to know that the military only needs your skills, but they don't want to negotiate with you." Ross looked at Charles and reminded Charles that the military was not so friendly to Charles.
"If you don't negotiate, you have to hand over your own things. Are they planning to go to war with me?" Charles asked Ross in confusion. Is his threat so unworthy of the military's attention?
"Charles, you are too naive. The military does not need to go to war with you. They only need to limit everyone around you. You will obediently hand over what they need to them. Charles, you have a strong desire to protect and respect the law. There is a saying that gentlemen can deceive them. If they send everyone here to prison by formal means, can you really do anything?" Ross told Charles that in the military's opinion, Charles is controllable.
Because Charles is a very strong moral concept, protecting the weak and respecting the law, but the aliens protected by Charles do not have this moral concept. Fighting, thieving, sexual harassment, and only need to be operated, those people will be sent to prison by the military one by one. The evidence is conclusive, and no one is willing to stay in a place where they can only abide by laws and regulations quietly, and even when they say they will be stuffed into a wallet and then the defendant will steal. The Ravenhoud Manor will eventually disappear into the dust of history.
"Your threat is really interesting. I admit that it really disgusted me, but that's it. You seem to have made a mistake. Those people are just my employees. As long as they leave here, I will not feel any responsibility for them. And I am very worried now that there are too many aliens here, which makes me lose my freedom. If you are willing to drive these guys away, I am very grateful."
When Charles heard that the military was actually a "gentleman" in his judgment, he couldn't help but smile, and spoke out his opinion on the threat, and even showed his attitude of expecting the military to reduce the annoying alien races a little.
"It seems that the military has been closed for too long. In this world that is surprising every day, the military still retains the working mode it used to work. I am very happy that it was my first time here to contact you, not those guys who want to threaten you. If I hadn't been looking forward to the Super Soldiers plan, I wouldn't have talked to you calmly." Ross felt that Charles' attitude was indeed true and started speaking.
"I'm sorry, your expectations were dashed." Charles spoke again and refused Rose's request.
