Chapter 1: Sokovia Umbrella Group
July 2010.
Eastern Europe Sokovia, an umbrella group located in the northern suburbs.
On the surface, the protective umbrella has built a complex of high-rise buildings in the northern suburbs of the city.
In fact, the tall buildings on the ground are just a cover-up.
In the center of this beautiful building complex that combines Chinese and Western styles, there is a skyscraper with a height of more than 300 meters. The shape of the building has a strong sense of technology. On the top of the building is the umbrella name "UMBRELLA".
This is the headquarters of the Umbrella Group, and as of now, tens of thousands of employees work here.
Among them, half are black armed soldiers cloned through cloning and brainwashing technology.
Three thousand meters underground in the Umbrella Headquarters building, there is a secret base called the Hive.
The reason why Carl Davis built this base deep underground is naturally because there are too many dangers in the Marvel world.
This hive base is designed to withstand nuclear bomb explosions, and the artificial intelligence Red Queen takes over the defense of the entire base.
Even so, Karl still felt that it was not safe enough here.
After all, he knows that there is a god baby in the core of the earth, and once it is born, it will destroy the entire earth.
Therefore, Carl is in a constant state of anxiety.
In 2008, he had just traveled through time and came to this world. Before he could figure out the situation, he was stunned by an air bomb.
His original family died in the air raid without any accident, and Carl became an orphan who had just turned 18.
At that time, there were air raids and bombings everywhere, and the huge noise caused by the bombs made Carl shiver while hiding in the basement of his home.
After the air raid, he wandered aimlessly on the streets, and when he saw Tony Stark announcing that he was Iron Man on TV, he knew he had arrived in the Marvel world.
This made Carl feel very powerless for a time. Not only did he come to the Marvel world, but he also came to Sokovia, which was in the middle of a civil war.
Fortunately, Carl has a [Counterfeit Technology System]
When he saw that the price of an imitation Soviet-style AK-47 rifle in the system mall was only $10, he knew what he should do.
He wants to become the largest arms dealer in the world!
Previously, the average selling price of AK-47 rifles in the international arms market was usually between 300 and 800 US dollars.
Here in Carl, an AK-47 only costs 30 US dollars.
As soon as this price came out, it instantly penetrated the bottom line of the entire international arms trading market.
Even in the second-hand market, it is impossible to sell it cheaper than Carl.
From this, Carl quickly accumulated his first pot of gold.
Then came half a year of low-key development.
At the beginning, Karl only dared to sell some light arms such as rifles, submachine guns, and drones.
Later, when his business grew, he began to sell various medium and short-range missiles, even imitating Stark Industries' Jericho missiles.
The arms smuggling business grew bigger and bigger, and Karl began to seek to establish a company on the surface, so as to have better ability to resist risks.
The Umbrella Group was established out of such a need.
Through the high profits from the arms trade, Karl bribed various warlord leaders, large and small, in Sokovia, including the government.
After two years of development, by 2010, the Umbrella Group secretly controlled almost everything in Sokovia and became the master behind this small Eastern European country.
Even the Hydra secret base originally hidden in Sokovia, Baron Strucker's Hydra was subdued by Karl.
But he was still not satisfied with stopping there. He always thought about the purple sweet potato spirit that would arrive in a few years, the baby god in the core of the earth.
Karl felt that he was in an extremely dangerous state of anxiety all the time.
Therefore, in recent months, Karl has become more and more bold, and even began to sell Jericho missiles in large quantities.
You know, the Jericho-1 missile invented by Iron Man Tony Stark is very popular in the international arms market.
However, Iron Man has closed the Stark Group’s weapons department since 2008 and has no longer sold any arms to the outside world.
The price of Jericho missiles in the international arms market has also risen as a result.
Coupled with Iron Man's growing reputation, the price of Jericho missiles on the black market continues to rise.
Therefore, Karl started to think carefully and relied on his own [copycat technology system] to sell Jericho missiles to other countries like crazy.
Last month, Umbrella Group secretly sold 30,000 containers of Jericho missiles to several oil countries in the Middle East.
Naturally, the 30,000 containers cannot all contain missiles. Most of them contain fixed launch platforms for launching land-based vehicles and other accessories.

Such a large-scale arms trade would have been impossible if the Middle Eastern sheikhs who owned countless oil and gold had not offered a price that Karl could not refuse.
He really doesn't necessarily dare to take such a big risk to sell this batch of goods.
Today, the price of a Jericho missile on the black market has risen to fifteen million US dollars.
The Middle East is willing to pay 30% higher than the black market price and accept unlimited Jericho missiles.
The price of Carr's system is only $20,000 for a Jericho missile, compared to the $19.5 million the buyer paid.
This profit of nearly a thousand times will make even God’s heart beat when he comes.
Carl is no exception, taking the risk last month to approve the sale of this shipment.
Who knows, even if he was careful and didn't reveal any flaws.
After the transaction was successful, the buyers in the Middle East didn't know whether they were stupid or inflated. Relying on their own batch of high-tech missiles, they directly launched a "defending freedom" war against the United States.
With the help of the Jericho missile, several countries in the Middle East achieved unprecedented great victories in the early stage.
It also shocked the whole world.
Then Iron Man Tony Stark received the news that in the Middle East War, the Jericho missiles of his Stark Industries were very powerful, and under various firepower coverage, the US military was defeated.
After receiving this news, Tony Stark, who was confused, decisively wore the Mark-5 Iron Battle Suit and came to the Middle East in person to investigate the source of such a large batch of Jericho missiles.
He didn't believe that so many Jericho missiles were produced by Stark Industries.
You know, since he invented the Jericho missile in 2004, until now, due to the high price, only about a thousand Jericho missiles have been produced.
But in the Middle East battlefield, more than a thousand Jericho missiles are launched every day.
As a righteous messenger who once claimed to be protecting the peace of the earth at the hearing, Tony Stark must find out the source of these Jericho missiles.
However, he is good at inventing technology, but he is not so good at secretly investigating the source of arms like an agent.
After investigating for half a month and eating sand in the Middle East desert for so long, Tony Stark still found nothing.
