The Light of Beauty

In Eastern Europe, due to geographical conditions, history, ethnic religions, and different development paths after World War II, the economic development of today’s European continent is relatively backward, and it is foreseeable that there will be no change for a long time in the future.

Sokovia, unlike most of the plains in Eastern Europe, is filled with more peaks, and its natural geographical conditions further restrict its development.

What's more, this place is also full of wars all year round. The exchange of fire between the government and many rebels has almost never stopped, and the small country has become more and more fragmented after being divided.

All of the above have caused Sokovia to always look out of place in Europe. Its backwardness and chaos seem to appear more in the Middle East or North Africa.

But in any case, it is a country after all.

No matter how backward the economy is, how poor the environment is, and how poor the people are, these realities will not affect the quality of life and wealth accumulation of the upper class.

Those who hold power are different from ordinary civilians.

They always have [-] ways to grab wealth, whether it is taxation and construction in the name of the government, or more implicitly by controlling domestic and foreign trade directly related to people's livelihood.

There is almost no description of Sokovia's political system in the movie, but through one thing, we can clearly understand that it is actually a country with a constitutional monarchy.

Helmut Zemo, he was a colonel officer and a baron.

Not a nickname, but a real title of nobility.

Sokovia has not yet suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Ultron, and Zemo, as a nobleman, does look very suitable for this ancient castle.

In the luxurious living room everywhere, Zemo had a polite smile on his face, and his eyes were not distracted, but he was still guessing the purpose of the person in front of him.

Black suit, white shirt, black tie, this is Zemo's outfit that he would not pay attention to at all in the past, and he didn't even have any thought of evaluating it.Because the only thing worth mentioning is that the clothes are pretty well set off by the person's body shape, appearance and temperament.

Yes, people in turn set off clothes.

The various etiquette knowledge he has received since childhood includes clothing and image. Zemo feels that even if he unfortunately becomes a prisoner one day, he will never dress like this.

However, this person is no ordinary person.

Although the three women who followed each other just now were dressed in ordinary clothes, their aura gave Zemo a familiar feeling, which only appeared on some special elite bodyguards, soldiers or agents.

As for the man in front of him, he doesn't look that aggressive. Although his expression is not very rich, it should be due to his personality, because his eyes are calm and there is unshakable firmness.

He was supposed to be in a clerical job, perhaps a lawyer, prosecutor, or secretary?

But what does all this have to do with me?

Zemo is proud in his heart. He likes his identity, likes his family, and loves his family very much.

"Mr. Lane, may I call you that?"

"can."

"Okay, I've seen the document that your assistant sent me, you are a special task force of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, personally, I respect your work very much, but I still don't know where you are The reason why the Zemo family came." He smiled and said bluntly: "Since more than ten years ago, after the death of the owner of the Zemo family, that is, my father, we began to withdraw from participating in the Sokovia Parliament. So far, we have left the political arena of this country. So if you need some data or information, I suggest you go to the parliament directly, and of course, I can also introduce suitable candidates for you.”

Such a statement is in line with his speculation about Ryan and others just now.

The United Nations working group itself is not endowed with many special rights, but it relies on the support and participation of the five hooligans and nearly [-] member states around the world, so most of the time they do have their own unique characteristics.

Zemo didn't think he would have anything to do with them, but this didn't prevent him from giving them face. After all, this was also a good opportunity to show himself and Zemo's family demeanor.

But Ryan's reaction was beyond his expectations.

"No." Ryan shook his head directly, then looked at him bluntly and said, "I'm here for you."

Zemo frowned secretly, but smiled on his face: "Really? Then I'm really curious, what can you do with me? If I can help you, it will be my honor."

Ryan held a sterling silver spoon in his hand and gently stirred the coffee in front of him.

Ryan's silence and the crisp sound of the porcelain cup made Zemo's brow slightly wrinkled.

"You have genius-like wisdom, as well as strategic vision and thinking. Of course, the latter is more important." Ryan said softly.

Zemo raised his eyebrows: "I don't understand what you mean?"

Ryan looked at the rolling green mountains and grasslands outside the window: "Sokovia is small, and the environment here restricts you."

Zemo still didn't understand, but he laughed: "The world is big, and Sokovia is indeed small, but for me, it's just right."

"You love your family very much." Ryan looked down at the coffee.

"Yes, I love them, and they love me."

"You like Sokovia too."

"Yes, I like this country, although it is not the most developed, but that is also because there are always people trying to destroy it."

Ryan raised his eyes: "Then why didn't you ever try to change it?"

"As I said just now, since my father, our entire family has withdrawn from politics. As my father's successor, I don't want to waste my time and energy on politics."

Ryan nodded slightly and fell silent again.

So far, Zemo's speculation about Ryan has completely fallen into chaos.

After waiting for a while, he said, "Mr. Ryan, if you still don't want to tell us why you came, then I'm afraid I don't have time to finish this cup of coffee with you."

"I'm just thinking about something."

"But I'm sitting in front of you."

"Okay, I do have a question for you, too."

"Please." Zemo held out his hand politely.

Ryan chuckled, then looked him in the eyes and said, "Hailhydra!"

Eyes are not completely real, but eyes are indeed the most difficult to fake and interpret, especially when a person is defenseless.

Ryan's words just now are not intentional gossip, he is indeed deepening his understanding of Zemo through dialogue.But at the same time, the chat just now did attract and divert Zemo's attention, disturbing his heart.

Then, if you add more stimulation at this time, there will naturally be a greater probability of getting a real response.

Zemo's pupils contracted rapidly, the wings of his nose also expanded, and the corners of his lips were slightly downward.

However, his control is also very strong, and he returned to normal almost instantly, and even asked in a puzzled manner: "What did you say?"

Lane dropped the silver spoon and straightened up.

"You are not the core of Hydra, but you should have learned a lot through them. Quitting politics is not an unintentional waste of time, maybe because it is not interesting? It doesn't matter. In short, you have seen an unusual side of the world, so you will Understand, I'm not here to threaten you, let alone control you, I'm here to give you a chance."

Ryan's frankness was beyond imagination, and Zemo knew that there was no need to continue to pretend.

"You know who I am, and you think you can give me a chance?"

Ryan shook his head: "The decline of Hydra is inevitable, and you can see clearly, otherwise you would not be an ordinary peripheral member until now. In addition, I don't like to talk too much nonsense, and what I said in the past few days There are too many."

Zemo stared at Ryan, as if trying to see through him: "What if I say, I'm not interested?"

"Then enjoy this cup of coffee."

"Ok?"

"It will be the last glass of your life."
