The first thousand two hundred and fifty-eight chapters, opinion disputes, public judgments
Facing Roddy's suggestion, Banner's first reaction was to refuse. He could not allow his team to do this, because it was completely contrary to his original intention. What he wanted was to bring his subordinates back in a complete and complete manner, rather than letting them live and die. However, at this point, Roddy obviously had a different opinion from him.
"Of course I know what I said will mean, but you should also know that we come with missions, not traveling. Some things we have to do, even if we make sacrifices. If you look at the first and last, we will only fail to do anything. Banner, you are the commander, and you should take your own responsibility."
"My responsibility is to protect everyone here as much as possible. They are living lives, not useless numbers. They should live, and I must let them live."
Banner and Roddy had a huge conflict in basic principles and ideas, and this conflict made Banner unable to control his yelling. He really couldn't understand why these guys born in the army were so cold-blooded and why they ignored the death of others so much. If they were just to the enemy, they wouldn't be so cold to their own people. This really made him feel unacceptable.
He felt unacceptable, and Roddy felt unacceptable, because for him, Banner's character was really bad, and he was really not a qualified commander candidate.
As a commander, if even sacrifice cannot be accepted, it is impossible to make the most correct choice at critical moments. His hesitation and hesitation will only allow opportunities to slip away from his eyes, and as time goes by, they can only be led step by step by step by step by step by step by step by this guy.
Many examples in the past have shown this truth, and the so-called "Love is not in charge of soldiers".
Before this, Roddy had great hope for Banner. Because he felt that after so much, Banner should have learned some basic principles. Not to mention anything else, at least he wouldn't be so naive and idealistic. But now it seems that this is just his wishful thinking. Who is he, after all, is still someone. It is simply an unrealistic delusion to expect him to change.
At this time, if possible, Roddy really wanted to undermine his power and control the operations of this special team by himself. But he knew that this was impossible.
Banner couldn't let himself undermine him, and once he started to resist, he had no ability to fight against him. Moreover, the other Avengers might not allow him to do so. Even if there were a few people willing to support him, he wouldn't have much advantage. The final result was probably the opposition and breaking between the two sides.
Roddy is not a fool. He can't let such a result happen because of such a little power. It will only make them all follow the destruction. So he can only stay under Banner honestly and try his best to convince him.
This is not easy, because Banner is not so easily shaken. As a superhero, to their point, everyone's mind can be said to be tenacious and unshakable. So to be honest, Roddy has no confidence at all, but he still has to make a final effort for it.
"Banner, I can understand your mood. But you have to know that you are the commander now, and you are carrying a completely different responsibilities you have shouldered in the past. In this case, you must understand one thing, that is, our mission is more important than anything else, even our lives."
"You have also said that we only have more than one hundred people. Even if we sacrifice all of them here, there will only be more than one hundred tombstones. Do you think such sacrifices are very big? So have you ever thought that if our mission fails, the entire Allied forces will fall into the quagmire from the beginning. And at that time, how much life should we pay to turn it around! Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions or tens of millions?"
"No one wants to sacrifice, and I don't want our good boys to live and die like this. However, we are soldiers, we are soldiers with missions. At this time, we must stand up. This is the meaning of soldiers, and this is our responsibility. So Banner, don't be obsessed with it anymore!"
A stubborn sentence points out Banner's current state. In the eyes of Roddy and some others, Banner is really too stubborn now, and can be said to be stubborn and terrible. Of course, a scientist needs to be a little stubborn, because only stubbornness can make them delve into the world of science. But putting this spirit in the current situation is really a bit terrible.
At this time, everyone hopes that Banner can change his mind. To put it bluntly, he should be able to understand some of his problems. Banner did this. He has realized his stubbornness on this issue and realized that his wishful thinking is not accepted by most of them. However, this does not mean that he has to compromise and change.
He didn't change that easily, so he still said stubbornly now.
"I know what our mission means, but completing tasks and sacrificing are two different things. Can we say that if we sacrifice all of them, we can complete the mission? Who dares to fight such a guarantee? I just want to save the lives of these soldiers under my command, and I just want more people to live. Is this wrong?"
"You are not wrong to think about this, but you have thought about retreating and running away before, but this is wrong. We have not done anything yet, and our mission has not even started. It is a despicable joke to retreat like this. And just when I was about to start this and make our mission open a situation, you were still looking for various reasons to refute me. Banner, do you think there is any reason for you to do this?"
"I am from the perspective of life. Everyone has the right to live, and we do not have the right to deprive them of their rights and let them die!"
Roddy's questioning made Banner refute again, which naturally attracted greater opposition.
"Then you are not qualified to deprive them of their right to safeguard their honor. Open your headset and ask, ask the young men, are they willing to go back with you in shame or do their best to complete this task with us. Banner, we are soldiers, and each of us knows that sacrifice is inevitable. We are not afraid of sacrifice, we are afraid of death without value and living without honor. You are not like us, so you cannot understand us at all. We are not as you think!"
Having said that, the two people were almost completely in opposition. In this case, it was impossible for anyone else to intervene. Therefore, most of the people present could only smile bitterly and wait for the situation to calm down.
But how could such a thing be calmed down? If it could be calmed down, Banner would not have stubbornly held on for so long.
"Okay, then give them the decision. See if they are willing to die for this task as you said. See who is the most correct choice for them!"
Under the current circumstances, Banner knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to convince Roddy and other people by relying on himself. So he simply pulled everyone in and asked them to make decisions for his destiny.
In his opinion, anyone has a strong desire to survive. Just like the wanderers they met before. Didn’t they choose to become monsters just to live? Even a group of refugees who are almost completely desperate will make such choices for life. So how could these agents choose to die when they have a better chance of living?
He firmly believed in his thoughts, so he was sure that Roddy would not agree to his request. But to his surprise, Roddy agreed and took action very simply.
He opened the communications across the channel and said directly to everyone.
"I am a war machine, Colonel Roddy. Now I want to inform you of such a thing. Just now, there was a conflict between me and the commander about the next action, and this made us need to seek everyone's opinions to decide our next action."
"The commander believes that our form is very serious, and we should now stop moving forward or end this mission directly. My decision is to move towards a medium-sized city nearest, to directly clear out the Hydra forces in this city, and to open up the situation for our actions. Here, I want to explain to you that the commander's decision can almost guarantee the safety of your lives. We will not lose any loss except that the mission will be doomed to fail. And my decision may push you into the abyss of death. And, I cannot guarantee that this will allow our mission to be completed. I can only say that this will only push our mission forward one step, just one step."
"Everyone is an elite from all countries, the top agents and warriors in the world. So I need you to make a judgment now, whether to support the commander or my decision. This is related to the direction of the mission, your life and glory. I hope you will be careful!"
Roddy said very clearly, and he did not use any means. Banner still agreed with this, so he also spoke out and repeated the content just now in his own identity. At this time, all they could do was wait for the agents to answer. On this, Banner felt that he was sure to win. However, to his surprise, things were not what he thought.
