Chapter 1663: Undercover Organization

"Secretary of Defense?" The word startled Tony Stark. Later, he thought that if he could use surveillance footage to see his appearance, his surprised expressions and exaggerated movements would be very ridiculous, but the idea of ​​​​distributing surveillance footage was no longer possible. "Tell me, is that genius who wants me to be The Boss of the Pentagon?"

"You name it, Stark, it's not God." The general pointed to the sky, trying to squeeze out a small amount of humor, like a teenager squeezing some pore grease from the tip of his nose. "The Pentagon is about to undergo a reshuffle, and many generals are facing investigations because of the projects they once led. We need one of our own. Stark Industries has bid for many projects in the Pentagon. Supervising these projects sometimes makes people become brigadiers, sometimes Let people become generals. For example, I once supervised the development of the space-launched version of the multi-warhead cluster bomb developed by Stark Group-that is, the Jellico-3 type. With this resume and General Ross's With help, I can go from being a senior officer hunting the Hulk to becoming a brigadier general.”

"We need someone to take control of the situation from this president's campaign team and behind-the-scenes funders. There has been too much hot money pouring into the military industry recently, and there are some things that are not suitable for Silicon Valley guys to know. It just so happens that the new president likes you very much , especially after you become a so-called superhero." The general said calmly, "Now you know why we need you, right? Don't worry, we will make some concessions, such as pardoning some Avengers members. Crime, stop the...out of bounds arrests against them. You really don't think a fight at a German airport - although General Ross is missing, I still hope he is alive - destroyed several aircraft, terminals and After damaging the parking structure and even affecting the lives of ordinary citizens, can the Avengers still be ignored by the CIA? Especially some dangerous targets, such as Natasha Romanoff, do you know what will happen to her in the hands of the CIA? Such an end. I've visited Guantanamo and those ocean-going cargo ship prisons. If she is captured by the CIA, death will be a gift at that time."

"Are you threatening me?" Tony Stark cursed in a low voice. He took a few steps forward suddenly, and a few lines of data slid across his glasses but he did not read them. Anger enveloped his mind until Colonel Rhodes pressed his chest. "You're my friend, Roddy." He stroked the watch on his wrist with his other hand. "I don't want you to stop me."

"This is not a threat, but telling you the truth." The general said, "Only the Pentagon can help you now, and the hyperspace engine... This is a large enough project, and it is the compensation given to us by the new president. In this project There are many very critical sub-projects that need to be monitored, and many companies and research laboratories need to join in this. This is a complete recovery of the military industry, which is what the new president wants to see, and we will get a lot of support."

Tony Stark sighed, knowing that if he still wanted to maintain Stark Industries, he had no choice. He was sure that Pepper Potts didn't know about it, and even if he knew, there was nothing he could do about it, which meant that his retirement plan would be delayed by at least four years. Stark Industries is about to face encirclement and suppression from established energy families in the field of clean energy. Pepper Potts has gone to companies owned by the Rockefeller family for negotiations many times, but the results have been unsatisfactory. In addition, the new president fully supports... For the development of rock oil, he knew that he had to find a new umbrella to protect the interests and status of Stark Industries. It was impossible to achieve it simply by relying on the social status of a "superhero".

"Sir." The colonel walked up to the general and whispered.

"real?"

"Yes. The Department of Homeland Security has determined that the person who posted the video on Youtube and the person who entered the command center belong to the same organization." The colonel held a tablet and played two videos to the general. One piece comes from a terrorist attack comment on Youtube that has been deleted, another piece comes from a video captured by a camera at the cargo entrance of the command center, followed by several pieces of surveillance footage showing the whereabouts of the intruder. Judging from the surveillance, the intruder disguised himself as a maintenance worker and used a forklift to deliver many extremely heavy objects into the command center. "It could be a bomb, it could be something else. We have to do emergency evacuation procedures."

"There's still work to be done here."

Tony Stark pricked up his ears and listened carefully, while looking at Colonel Rhodes.

"Are we in trouble? What guy smashed the fire alarm with a mug?"

"No, Tony." Colonel Rhodes pressed the earphone, "We must evacuate, a terrorist organization has set this place as an attack target."

"I brought the suit, it's on the plane." Tony Stark looked at the clueless researchers below and said, "I can help, Roddy."

"Follow me now, Mr. Stark." The colonel turned around and walked towards Tony Stark. "The alarm will sound later, but you must follow me now. We will enter the emergency exit and go to the shutdown Ping. Leave them alone, your lives are worth far more than theirs.”

"A terrorist organization cultivated by the CIA overseas decided to launch an attack on the United States because of betrayal. From the entry of people to the preparation of materials, everything was personally executed by this organization and believers in the United States. Victor did It’s just a matter of selecting the target and the time of the attack, that’s all, there won’t be any evidence implicating us.”

Early before he said this, Fisk Wilson, the "King of New York", had ordered his men to kill a plainclothes FBI agent. The so-called guidance was actually that this agent who was undercover in the terrorist organization sympathizer organization in the country, under the temptation of money and the threat of gunpoint, made suggestions to the terrorist organization many times and finally determined the time of the attack. This agent also had financial dealings with Fisk Wilson and was extremely easy to control. Regent Victor von Doom chose this agent after careful selection.

Although Regent Victor von Doom never told him the details, it did not prevent him from seeing everything. As the people of the Yugoslav Federation said, the emperor knew everything, and some superstitious civilians even began to believe that as long as they prayed to the emperor at home and told him about injustice, they could get the emperor's attention.

He pulled out the ribs of the roasted pork ribs with his hands, and ordered a ghost hand to prepare vegetables and toasted bread. He planned to leave enough sandwiches for two days in the refrigerator, some of which would be left here and some of which would be taken to the office (the throne room of the castle in the Royal City of the Yugoslav Federation). After all, in most cases he would not have time to enjoy the exquisite meals prepared by the chef and Dinah hired by Regent Victor von Doom. Everything was done for efficiency, even during breaks. Important meetings were scheduled all day, leaving only a pitiful amount of free time to take a short break. In the absence of reliable officials, he had to fill the power gap in the administrative system, even if it made him look like a dictator. This land that once belonged to the Thracians and Illyrians was also mixed with Slavs, Vikings and Anatolians. It was impossible to rule this chaotic area without tough measures.

Sitting by the pool and sipping iced juice, Lara Croft listened to his whispered conversation with the witch in a daze, and was very puzzled. It was originally a time of indulgence and entertainment, but the witch and the emperor were serious, as if they were discussing something very important, as if the witch was not wearing a lace-up bikini like herself but a suit. Then the serious atmosphere faded, and the smile returned to his face. The cut vegetables and bread floated up automatically until he put the roasted meat in and squeezed the sauce on it to make a mouth-watering sandwich.

"There is no object with an absolutely constant temperature in this world. All substances are exchanging heat all the time. If the heat exchange process is blocked, an object can be kept at a constant temperature." He smiled at Laura Croft, "This technology means controlling entropy, and stopping atomic movement also means stopping time, so don't underestimate the technology used in this food box. The technology used to preserve precious documents in the library is exactly the same."

"He just wants to change the subject, you don't have to pay attention to him."

Bayonetta blinked, with a smug smile on her face. She did interrupt the emperor's nonsense. Just now he wanted to ask boring questions such as "If a human returns to the Cretaceous period, what animal would he choose as a pet if there is no cat?", but was stopped by Bayonetta with sharp high heels. She definitely didn't want his bad sense of humor to interrupt the joy of tonight.

"I think the ointment has worked, or do you want more to overcome your shyness?"

"This is a premeditated attack, sir." The colonel held his hat to avoid being blown away by the strong wind from the helicopter propeller. He shouted in the general's ear, "The FBI informed us of this situation, and the undercover agent also sent a detailed plan and asked for Mr. Stark's help."

"Fuck Stark! I won't believe him. Iron Man has messed up a lot of things." The general walked towards the helicopter without looking back, "" The general got on the helicopter, fastened his seat belt and put on headphones, and the colonel had to do it. At the same time, several fully armed soldiers also rushed here and took the helicopter with the general as a security force.

"Sound the alarm and abandon the mission. I won't risk my life on a superhero who doesn't obey orders."
