Chapter 186 If warmongers are dedicated to their jobs
"Mr. Stark, were you injured in the attack?"
"No, but I spilled my wine, and it was a 26-year-old Macallan, so I guess that counts as a war crime."
"Hello, I'm Harry Whitington from the Mail UK. Have you learned anything from your experience in Afghanistan?"
"Of course -- don't travel anywhere without a Four Seasons."
"Mr. Stark, has this experience changed you in any way?"
“Well seeing firsthand the lives of young Americans being killed by the weapons that we make – I realized I had to do better for them.
Bigger, fiercer, stronger! So I'm appointing Lieutenant Eric Stevenson as Stark Industries' new industrial director.
And I promise that in the next year, the production capacity of the military weapons production department will continue to increase to more than twice the current level! "
The genius, millionaire, and CEO of Stark Industries was attacked by terrorists and rescued by a U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant. He immediately announced an increase in production capacity and expressed support for the continuation of the war.
The stock market is crazy--
I have never seen a company rise like this.
In front of the computer, Lear frowned - this was the biggest signal of war.
The growth trajectory of this "superhero" has undergone a slight change, and now he will soon be a "national hero".
No matter how arrogant and arrogant the original Tony Stark was, he was still an arms manufacturer who was doing great harm to himself and wasting his martial arts skills, which is no longer the case here.
If the war in Afghanistan continues, the situation will be much more complicated.
And there was an even more exaggerated scene in this press conference:
On the TV, a blond female reporter raised her hand to ask Lieutenant Stevenson: "Lieutenant! Lieutenant! I am Christine Everhart.
May I ask why you appeared in Khulna Province, Afghanistan? "
Tony didn't care: "Of course it's to save me, I've already said that."
"One thing is strange." The reporter said while looking at his manuscript. "On the day of the raid, his troops were supposed to be stationed 400 kilometers away."
"If you are implying that he had prior knowledge of the raid"
"She's right." Lieutenant Stevenson stood up.
He is a typical black man, with curly hair in braids, but he does seem to have the temperament of an American elite sergeant - few words and firm eyes.
"While working undercover on a terrorist organization, I uncovered a plan to assassinate Tony Stark," Stevenson explained.
"Oh oh oh!" Obadiah beside Tony was instantly excited, "Let's stop this kind of problem first."
"Yes, of course you don't want to mention it, right?" Stevenson narrowed his eyes and looked at the bald head, "Because the investor in those plans is Stark Industries' director of operations, Obadiah Stane."
Obadiah still wants to quibble.
Stevenson took out a button and pressed it, and all the evidence was instantly displayed on the big screen of the press conference.
Wire transfers, bank documents, phone records...all available.
"You can find out just by searching online. I've uploaded it all online."
It's quite a bold style. Lille also checked online and found it.
The press conference ended with Obadiah being arrested, but the public response was overwhelming.
Returning to the office area of Hammond's laboratory, Lear pinched his eyebrows. The impact of this matter was far-reaching.
It is not easy to detect, but it is too late when ordinary people realize the change.
Martin organized his words and said: "Military industry stocks are going up like crazy - not only Stark Industries is going up, but other companies involved in the military industry are the same."
".You want us to join?"
Artificial blood is a medical product that can be used by civilians and, of course, by the military.
"It's good for business."
"In the short term, if the world breaks down, we won't be able to hold on to anything."
When the situation deteriorates, both warring parties will tear off their masks of kindness.
Violence is the lowest logic that supports power. The warring parties risk everything to smash the other party's power structure that is different from their own and assimilate them.
When the social order is turned into chips and thrown out layer by layer, they will turn everything around them into chips and throw them out like gamblers.
How can an organization without an army protect its own means of production?
Outside the office window, the leaves swayed in the breeze.
Don't you understand Martin?
He understands very well, but to be honest, the only thing he wants to do is to crush the Osborne Group, and he doesn't really care about anything else.
But he hesitated - not because Lille's few words convinced him.
Rather, he had been observing Lear: when they first met, out of curiosity, he used negative energy to feel Lear's negative side.
What he perceived was a soul that could not be explained in words: it was a monster with a series of accumulated emotions such as pain, mania, and coldness.
Every time Martin kills a person, or releases a person's negative emotions and turns the person into pure evil, he will also accumulate a certain amount of negative emotions.
If calculated according to this standard, it is estimated that Nari's negative emotions must have killed at least millions of people consciously to have this effect.
What did he do? When you were lying in the hospital, you dreamed that a nuclear bomb was set off in your dream? Forget it was a dream, did he still take it seriously?
In any case, Martin didn't want to release a psychopath of this level - he always felt that Lear really had this ability.
In theory, evil and good do not mean two memories, just like Martin himself - the philanthropist Martin and the gang boss Mr. Negative both have the same memory, and they are sincere when doing good and evil things.
If even this kind of psychopath finds it so terrifying that the world is shattered, then he'd better take it seriously.
Lille didn’t know what Martin was thinking, so he knocked on the table: “We still focus on the civilian market, and we also have to promote anti-war propaganda.
It’s not surprising that Stark Industries sided with the main site, but if the medical industry like ours also sided with the other side, things would be out of control.
Civilian industry naturally does not advocate war. We can join forces with civilian hospitals and schools, which are industries that are far away from war.
Then win over workers such as construction workers and truck drivers who have a lot of room for swing, and try to control Congress and the Pentagon from attacking wherever they want without restraint. "
"So in general, we are anti-war - but from a profit perspective, people feel that we should want as many casualties as possible.
Of course, I'm just kidding. "
This is no joke.
Leal thought about biotechnology in the cyberpunk world-just to deal with some drugs and vaccines that are about to expire, they can put viruses directly into the population.
In this world, although the situation is not that bad.
However, when epidemic diseases are raging, it is not uncommon for pharmaceutical companies to make false claims under the guise of curing all diseases, and even more egregious things do not exist -
Lear said slowly: "There must be such companies, but we are not - we will use upright means to defeat these bad companies. You can trust the technology of me and Professor Connors."
Martin was silent for a moment and said: "The Osborne Group is that kind of company. Do you believe me?"
“Just between the two of us — I can tell you, I’m inclined to believe you.
Just in time, I plan to go to the NYPD to see the progress of Peter's work, shall we? "
In an abandoned, unknown military bunker in the eastern United States, an entire bunker was filled with computers flashing.
"Lieutenant Stevenson's mission was successful, but Lieutenant Stevenson was informed that the priority of his request would be adjusted later."
"There is one company, Blum Corporation in New York, whose threat level has increased significantly - they plan to implement a computer system that is very similar to the insight algorithm."
"The founder of the company is Lil Lee, raise the level of monitoring."
"He also has a company called International Gene Cooperation Co., Ltd., which has been involved in disputes recently. You can look at it from these angles."
"Yes, the threat level has increased sharply. Tony Stark and his AI have been locked into an information cocoon room. They will perform tasks strictly in accordance with regulations and there will be no problems."
"You can have my word-"
"Everything is under control."
Urgent notice, I didn’t go see the elderly today, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
