Leading Steve in the cyberpunk world onto the red road is not a simple matter, or something that cannot be rushed.
Compared to this, Tony and Steve in the World War II timeline are already following the Allied forces and are about to reach Berlin.
Although the Allied forces landed in Normandy because the Soviet front was advancing too fast at that time. If they did not land in Germany, they would have nothing to do. But even so, the Allied forces rushed slowly and still failed to catch up with Berlin and liberated the German capital.
All credit goes to the Soviet Army.
When the Allied forces sent a force to advance into Berlin, Soviet soldiers had already controlled most of Berlin, and even the red flag had been planted on the top floor of the German Reichstag building, instead of the shameless Angsa gang in later generations.
Picture of the Stars and Stripes.
But these have little to do with Tony and Steve, or even the Strategic Science Group they belong to.
Because the main task of their unit is to deal with Hydra, not the German army.
Led by two captains and paired with enhanced and modified super soldiers, this special force whose combat effectiveness far exceeded that of conventional troops was not put into a frontal battlefield with the Germans. Instead, it kept wandering behind enemy lines, one by one.
Uproot the base controlled by Hydra.
Although Hydra is thought to be nothing more than an evil organization under the command of the German government, core members of the Strategic Science Group like Steve and Howard still know very well that Hydra is not as bad as it appears.
Simple.
Therefore, Tony, Steve and Howard did not mind that the Howling Commandos and other super soldiers led by the two captains did not fight the Germans on the frontal battlefield, but focused on destroying Hydra.
After all, they clearly know that the German army just wants to rule the world, and it will not be able to jump around like a grasshopper for a few days after autumn, but Hydra really wants to destroy the world, especially since they really have
The ability and strength to destroy the world.
And compared to these, Tony and Steve are more concerned about the Cosmic Cube that has fallen into the hands of Hydra at this moment. They know what this thing is and how much disaster it can cause.
Although Hydra did not cause any major disasters or sensational events in the history they are familiar with, it was Captain America who successfully led the Howling Commandos to stop their conspiracy.
In today's changed timeline, neither Tony nor Steve dare to bet on whether the course of history will remain the same as before.
What if Hydra doesn't want to use bombs to bomb all the big cities in the world, but plans to help Germany rule the world?
Or maybe something went wrong when they were studying the Rubik's Cube, and what should they do if they lured the alien army to the earth seventy years in advance? In this era, there is no Avengers to assemble so many superheroes for them to fight against the aliens.
Invasion.
Although if this kind of thing really happened, a shift of the Allied offensive might be effective, but without a nuclear bomb as a killer, even Tony didn't think they could handle the alien invasion.
So even if they had the opportunity to witness the greatest victory in human history and experience the end of World War II, Tony and Steve still followed Howard, along with the Strategic Science Group and the Howling Commandos led by the two captains, towards the control of Hydra.
A raid was launched on the last base.
Just as Steve remembered, they successfully broke through the defenses outside the base and soon broke into Hydra's last stronghold.
But the Red Skull, the leader of Hydra in the base, just as Steve remembered, activated the black-tech bomber and took off with a plane full of bombs that could level most cities in the world.
.
At this time, the members of the Howling Commandos were clearing out the remaining Hydra remnants in the base, while the two captains were chasing the bomber in their cars, and successfully jumped on the plane at the last second before it took off.
"Steve, did you go up alone or with others?" Tony, Steve and Howard were a step late. Looking at the bomber that had taken off, Tony suddenly asked Steve who was standing aside.
Steve looked at the plane in front of him with some nostalgia, sighed and said: "I got on alone, so I missed the invitation to a dance for seventy years."
Hearing what Steve said, Tony suddenly handed his suitcase and suit to Steve, and then said in Steve's puzzled and surprised eyes: "Now you have a chance to make up for all this, don't
Let the other one be seventy years late."
Tony's words stunned Steve for a moment, but he quickly reacted, picked up the suitcase and pulled the suit, unfolded it, and put it on.
"Without the assistance of Jarvis, many functions may have problems, but flying and fighting are still no problem. I think you should be able to control it." With that, Tony threw Steve's shield to him again and told him.
He said: "This is the only battle suit I have now, don't let me scratch it."
Steve looked at Tony with a complicated expression, but he still nodded to him gratefully without saying thank you.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Howard and Tony, he soared into the sky and chased after the bomber, which was already flying some distance in the sky.
Howard, who stayed where he was, watched Steve flying away in a steel suit, and suddenly turned to Tony with some emotion and said: "Tony, you have finally grown up."
"After experiencing so much, people will always change." Tony also sighed with emotion, instead of replying to Howard like he usually did.
At this time, Tony's mood had quietly changed, as he said, and he asked Howard the question again: "How did you feel about participating in the Manhattan Project?"
"End this war." Although Howard didn't quite understand why Tony asked this, he still told the truth what he thought.
"Is it that simple?" Tony didn't expect that the answer he had been looking for was so simple.
But when he thought about it again, he felt it was natural.
After witnessing with his own eyes how cruel World War II was and what a serious disaster this war brought to the entire world, Tony also felt that if there was an opportunity to end the war, he would not miss it no matter what.
Just thinking of the things that would happen in the future, Tony sighed again.
"It's that simple. What's wrong with you? Why are you sighing?" Howard heard Tony sigh and turned to look at him.
"If... I mean if, in the future, the United States becomes the party that starts a war, what will you do? Especially when they use the weapons you invented to threaten small countries that are unable to resist." Tony looked a little complicated.
, he didn't want to ask this originally, but after such a long time together, he and Howard have developed a deep friendship, and he has truly regarded him as his father in his heart, so he asked this question.
.
After hearing Tony's question, Howard was stunned for a moment. He shook his head before helplessly shaking his head: "It seems that my invention will inevitably become a tool for careerists!"
But after sighing, Howard slapped Tony on the shoulder again and smiled at him: "But there is still you, isn't it? As my son, Howard Stark, the trouble caused by your father is not worth it.
Isn't it up to you, the son, to solve it? Boy, are you cowarded? If you think you can't do it, just call me "good daddy" twice, and I won't be able to help you solve it."
Of course Howard was making fun of Tony, but he who knew and was familiar with Tony's character also understood that with Tony's character and talent, he would be able to handle all these things well.
Sure enough, when Howard said this, Tony's expression suddenly changed, he pushed Howard and then cursed: "Fuck you! Stop taking advantage of me! Who am I? I'm Tony Stark, isn't it just that little problem?
Really? I've beaten up all the aliens before, they're just a bunch of careerists! Let's see how I deal with them!"
At this time, Tony had not only crossed the hurdle left by the experience in Afghanistan, but also crossed the hurdle in his own soul.
He has figured out that a weapon is a weapon, it is just a tool, and there is no difference between good and evil.
The so-called justice and evil are just the meanings forcibly given to it by those who use it.
Just like nuclear weapons, in this era it is a tool to end wars. In the future, it will be the foundation of American hegemony. At the same time, it is also the cornerstone of maintaining world peace in a state of nuclear balance.
There is nothing wrong with making weapons by yourself. There is nothing wrong with the idea of producing advanced weapons to protect American soldiers. It is just that I was used by others at that time.
Just like if your steel suit is stolen by criminals and used for evil, can you say that it was wrong to make the steel suit?
It is always the criminals who are at fault, not the Iron Suit, nor the one who made the Iron Suit.
As for those who say that if we don’t make steel suits, criminals will steal them and do evil. Those who say this are either stupid or bad. They have either been brainwashed by those with ulterior motives, or they simply have ulterior motives of their own.
Just like those guys who want to take away the technology of the Iron Suit from him to achieve their ulterior purposes, they want the technology of the Iron Suit not for national security as they say, but for the sake of national security.
Turn it into a nuclear bomb of the new era and use it to continue to maintain American hegemony.
And Tony had already seen this clearly back then.
But at that time, he still felt that the weapons he originally developed had become an accomplice to evil, and he doubted whether he was doing the right thing in producing the weapons.
Now that he has figured out everything, Tony is convinced that he was right to shut down the weapons department of Stark Industries.
Although this incident does not actually mean much from now on, it also makes Tony feel a little less guilty about being an accomplice.
After all, from a certain perspective, although he is only a manufacturer of weapons, when those weapons are produced and sold to the US military, they will inevitably become tools used by the US military to maintain US hegemony.
Although even if Stark Industries does not produce weapons, the U.S. military can still buy weapons from other places, but Tony feels that he has done nothing wrong in this matter.
After thinking about this, he also had a clear understanding in his heart. Perhaps this was the reason why the guy who claimed to be a god threw himself into this era, so that he could understand that he wanted to be a superhero to maintain world peace.
, sometimes we still need powerful weapons as tools and cornerstones, not just ideas.
No matter how beautiful the ideal is, if there are no means and power to practice it and the necessary force to maintain it, then everything is just empty talk.
Only with strength and force can we ensure the realization of our ideals and protect our ideals from being overthrown by all kinds of evil and sinful forces.
"Perhaps the Avengers should not just be a superhero team, it should become more complete and powerful, and at the same time bear more responsibilities." Tony murmured to himself, and the moment he understood all this, he had already returned
When they arrived at the study room, they stood in front of Chen Mo and the others again.
Looking at Tony who came back, Chen Mo touched his chin, nodded with satisfaction and said: "It seems that you gained a lot from this trip! Master Gu Yi, do you think he is now qualified to be a candidate for the Supreme Mage?
?"
"Judging from his performance, he has indeed achieved this qualification." Even Master Gu Yi nodded with great satisfaction at this time.
She is already satisfied with the current Tony, and even thinks that if the Eye of Agamotto can still be used, she should be able to see the Iron Supreme's timeline.
Tony Stark is able to understand himself clearly, overcome his own inner hurdles, and not fall into extremes. Coupled with his intelligence and practical ability, he is indeed a qualified successor to the Sorcerer Supreme.
Maybe he may not be as suitable as Stephen Strange, but it is undeniable that Tony Stark is now a qualified candidate, and he has the qualifications to compete with Stephen Strange for the title of Supreme Mage
.
On Chen Mo's side, seeing that Gu Yi had recognized Tony Stark's qualifications, he nodded with satisfaction, then snapped his fingers and summoned a book from the void that looked full of weight at first glance.
Spell book, and then let the book float in front of Tony.
"Now that you are qualified to become the successor of the Supreme Mage, you can start learning about spells. Every Supreme Mage is an extremely powerful spell caster. Even if you do not inherit the title of Supreme Mage in the end, these spells
Knowledge is also what you should learn." Chen Mo did not intend to wait for everyone to pass the test before teaching them magic knowledge, but whoever passed it first would learn it first.
After all, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than enough damage.
The way of man is not like that. If you lose enough, you will have more than enough.
As for the origin of this magical knowledge...he just made a copy of the Supreme Mage's library in Kamal Taj.
