Chapter 2750 Star Core Rescue (Thirty-Six)
"For a long time, the American strategy has been to separate superheroes from ordinary people. I don't mean to separate them geographically, but to separate them socially," Schiller said.
"It's like two actors on stage, one plays the rescuer and the other plays the rescued. The rescuer has to act well, and the rescued has to act well too. But no matter how well they act, the bond between the two actors is not that tight."
"Although a poor performance by one person may affect the other, they are essentially equals, and one cannot decide whether the other stays or leaves. They are in a state where neither can do anything to the other."
"Although it seems equal, this is not a healthy state." Schiller shook his head and said, "It may even lead to a vicious cycle. One party performs poorly and drags down the other party, and the other party will want to retaliate on the next stage and drag down the other party as well. Then both parties will spiral downward and eventually get worse and worse."
"The way to improve this situation is to completely change the relationship between them, or even completely change the nature of one of the parties, so that he stops being an actor and becomes an audience."
"In the past, people could only act according to the script. In other words, facing superheroes and disasters, people are inherently vulnerable and they really need help, especially individuals, who need superheroes to take care of them."
"But now, the public can exercise their rights in another way, a way they are good at. Public opinion is their power different from force, but sometimes it is more deadly than force."
"This will allow them to reach a balance with the power of superheroes - you use your power well, and I will use mine well, but if you dare to abuse it, don't blame me for not following the rules and using mine."
"So putting the public in the audience and letting them judge what the superheroes do, rather than just passively accepting it, will allow them to regain some of the initiative and can effectively reduce their panic."
"Many people are afraid of superheroes and assume that these superheroes will become criminals sooner or later. This is because they have no way of resisting the power of superheroes. They have never resisted before and do not know that the other party will also get hurt and bleed. Therefore, the paranoia is particularly strong and eventually turns into panic."
"This panic will also hurt superheroes, because some of them have been doing good things, but they always have to face groundless suspicion, even unreasonable attacks and abuse, which is unfair to them."
"To calm people's fears is not just to hold a loud speaker and shout in their ears that superheroes will not turn bad, but to give them weapons. This is what they say: power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
"They must know that after they unite, they can supervise and punish these high-ranking heroes in another way. Heroes who do wrong will also be judged by themselves, so they will not assume that all superheroes are troublemakers who want to harm them."
"But public opinion is not controllable." Coulson said: "What if someone maliciously manipulates this power to harm superheroes?"
"Superheroes are not dumb," Schiller said. "We can't assume that any of the parties involved are complete victims. The public can judge, and superheroes can appeal. Don't forget that this is the information age. Even a second-rate, less famous superhero has at least millions of fans on the Internet, right?"
Coulson thought about it and agreed. Then he couldn't help but worry about another question. He said, "What if a superhero uses his fans to cyberbully others..."
"Aren't there other superheroes?" Schiller said. "Are you worried that all the superheroes will go crazy and manipulate public opinion at the same time and then attack each other?"
Just as Coulson was about to deny it, he heard Schiller say, "It's not impossible. I think Tony and Stephen would be able to do it. Sooner or later, they will go live and compete."
"But no system in this world is perfect. I am just proposing a more balanced possibility. What we should consider next is not what is wrong with this system, but whether the power we have now is enough to tolerate mistakes."
"I think that fighting in court or on the Internet is much better than fighting at the airport. What do you think?"
Coulson thought about it carefully and felt that it did make sense.
"Many people are very opposed to fan clubs, but no matter how much they oppose, no one has come down with an iron fist. The fundamental reason is that it is better to vent all the energy in online quarrels than to do it offline, right?"
"Some people will definitely say that if we don't engage in verbal battles online, we won't necessarily engage in offline fights. All we can say is that we shouldn't underestimate the level of human impulse and hormone secretion. Since ancient times, the development of sports and art is actually to consume people's energy. If you don't keep up the cat during the day, the cat will keep up the cat at night."
"Even if one out of 10,000 people vents their aggression by engaging in online verbal battles instead of going out and killing people, it will be good news for humanity."
"It's the same with superheroes. It's better to let them indulge in watching short videos or find ways to gain online reputation and popularity than to have nothing to do every day and start a civil war. Even if they organize fans to fight online, no one can beat the other person to a bloody pulp through the Internet."
"Between a real war and a war on the Internet, anyone with a bit of common sense will choose the latter, which neither takes up medical resources nor causes property damage. It's not good to have a bad Internet culture. The world has to have a garbage dump."
Coulson figured out this and thought this plan was brilliant. He couldn't wait to see Stark and Strange swear at each other online. It was better than watching them fight in real life, right? He didn't want to be called up at three in the morning to go to the superhero court to judge for them.
Then Coulson suddenly had an idea and discovered the hidden and mysterious connection in this series of events.
About half a year ago, the superhero court system was basically established. It could be said that the strongest superheroes, and even the Asgardians, forced these superheroes to accept the rules, which even included mutants. You can imagine how difficult it was.
There are indeed many superheroes who hold the idea that if I couldn’t do whatever I wanted before becoming a superhero, and if I still can’t do whatever I want after becoming a superhero, then hasn’t it been in vain?
Unfortunately, they were born at the wrong time. Nick, with his iron fist and heart of stone, joined forces with several of the strongest superheroes to establish this rule. However, superheroes also have their own way of doing things. When ordinary people become superheroes, they are just moving from one society with rules to another.
About half a year ago, Peter stopped appearing frequently. Logically, he was a good guy who had never thrown a piece of paper around in his life. It didn't matter to him whether a court was established or not. But after the new rules were established, he dived into the laboratory and rarely appeared.
Next, Nick proposed the idea of a crisis drill, which has been basically successful so far. Although there were unexpected events and many troubles that they had not expected before, the politicians and scientists from various countries did not lose face in terms of rescue, and it was basically completed smoothly, and it can even be said that it was done quite well.
This at least proves that they can save themselves even without superheroes, and the ordinary people's system begins to decouple from the superhero system.
Then came the Mysterio incident. Jameson, the owner of the Daily Bugle who had been keeping an eye on Spider-Man, targeted the Mysterio team because Spider-Man had not appeared for too long and because the space station incident was full of doubts.
It is obvious that a series of events are linked together. First, laws and regulations are established to create a superhero society, and then the superhero society is decoupled from ordinary people's society.
Then a representative will be sent from the superhero society, and if nothing goes wrong, the next step should be the trial.
Because Schiller had said before that he wanted to make the public realize that they also have a special weapon that can judge superheroes, and that is public opinion.
Coulson gradually understood everything. He said, "So, you got Jameson there. He is the sword bearer representing the common people, and Mysterio is the superhero who is about to be slain?"
"When do you plan to upgrade to a Level 9 agent?" Schiller praised in a very cryptic way: "Maybe you can directly upgrade to Level 10."
Coulson didn't care. He just wanted to satisfy his curiosity, so he asked, "Did you arrange for Mysterio to be here too? How did you control him?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "It wasn't him originally, but the Sandman. After all, he rolled all the way from the East Coast to the West Coast and caused quite a stir. I had already agreed with him when I was treating him before, but I didn't expect another Baker to interfere. It's his bad luck."
"So you didn't arrange Sophia, and you didn't get the mysterious source of funds?"
"I don't have to lie to you." Schiller said, "If it were me, I wouldn't let the funds go through Hong Kong. You don't really think that a place that even relies on the mainland for fresh water can have its own completely independent financial system? If the S.H.I.E.A. finds out and catches the mastermind, how much do you think Nick will have to pay to extradite her?"
Coulson took a breath, then he said doubtfully, "No way? They are very busy right now, they probably don't have the time to go..."
"Don't forget, the whole world wants them to take the blame now." Schiller pointed out the key point. He said: "If other organizations find out that funds from unknown sources have been flowing out of Hong Kong and supporting the fall of the space station, then they will definitely take the blame. In order to avoid taking the blame, is there anything they can't find out and who they can't catch?"
Coulson's heart sank more and more. He knew that Schiller was right. The blame for the space station crash was too big. It was almost equivalent to betrayal of all mankind. None of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council could bear it. In order to get rid of this blame, the five evil guys dared to do anything.
Once the SHIELD Agency realizes that the funds flowing out of Hong Kong may make them bear the blame, they will dig deep into the ground to catch the mastermind behind it.
But the problem is that once they catch the man behind the scenes, they will definitely know about Sofia and Baker. These two are authentic American Stars and Stripes people. Wouldn't the United States then be blamed?
Congress will definitely not take the blame, so who will be blamed then? Isn't it S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Coulson stood up suddenly and ran out in a hurry, leaving behind a sentence, "Please, doctor, don't make a big fuss before we get this done! I don't want to be demoted to Level 6!"
After Coulson left, Schiller smiled, and then his phone rang, and Peter's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"The upgraded special effects equipment and Stark Group's drones are ready. Doctor, when will the show start?"
"No hurry, Baker is no match for Jameson, but seeing is believing. How can we not let your shrewd old rival see with his own eyes how hypocritical Mysterio is?"
