Chapter 268 General Ross's Mission
"As early as the day you left, you were posthumously promoted to major general, but I still want to call you colonel..."
"Colonel, maybe you have forgotten me for such a long time, but I believe you will never forget that secret operation to attack the Hydra base. You lured away the Hydra army for us alone. It's a pity... …We still failed to live up to your expectations!”
The white-haired man's eyes seemed to be shining with a certain luster, a little sentimental.
Lin Jue's expression remained unchanged, but his heart became more and more shocked. In fact, he recognized the man in front of him, but he did not expect that this guy turned out to be Ross in his old age...
After entering a standard military salute, General Ross looked solemn. His behavior attracted the attention of the surrounding rich people and politicians who were secretly observing the situation here.
Except for some politicians who knew the inside story, most businessmen could not hide their shock.
Sure enough, the Grand Duke of Evernight has an extraordinary relationship with some of the top officials in the United States.
They looked at each other, each looking for an opportunity to talk to Lin Jue.
After all, Yongye Company has arrived in the United States, and its broad commercial territory will surely establish some kind of deep connection with them.
"Are you...Rose?"
Lin Jue frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
"Yes! I didn't expect you to still remember me!"
General Ross looked excited, but also a little embarrassed. His former admirer was right in front of him, and his appearance had not even changed at all. This seemed to bring him back to those green years, that bloody era, that hero who belonged to Lin Jue. era!
Behind them, Stark and Botz looked at each other, both of them feeling a little stunned. The distinctive shoulder emblem of the man in front of them already showed his identity, an American major general.
This is a general. My cheap uncle is really a legend...
At this moment, even Stark couldn't help but secretly admire him, and at the same time he admired his father's vision. Regarding the problem just raised, he was no longer worried about whether Lin Jue could solve it.
Now, he, Stark, will "temporarily" hug his uncle's lap!
"Haha, I didn't expect that your boy has become a major general."
Lin Jue laughed, walked straight to General Ross, and patted him hard on the shoulder, while Ross accepted it with a smile on his face.
"Colonel Lin Jue, you praise me too much. If it weren't for you, I would have died there a long time ago. It is because those Hydra guys were afraid of you that they did not deal with us rashly. I will always remember your kindness. Knowing that you died together with the enemy in the final battle, my comrades and I burst into tears. Unfortunately... they can no longer see you!"
Speaking of this, Ross looked a little sentimental, but Lin Jue patted him.
"Hey, kid, you've become a general and you're still so sentimental?"
"No matter what happens to me now? I am still your former soldier!"
Ross shouted in a deep voice, his face full of determination.
Seeing such a scene, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Unexpectedly, Hulk's old father-in-law Ross was quite grateful.
"It just so happens that my nephew Stark also needs my help with something. Maybe you can solve his problem!"
"yes!"
Looking at General Ross with a solemn face, Lin Jue quickly smiled and signaled that he didn't need to be so serious. After talking for a while, he relaxed the serious guy in front of him.
"I have heard about Stark Industries, and even some of my troops use their weapons. I am deeply sorry for what happened to your company!"
Ross looked at Stark, not as solemnly as when he saw Lin Jue, but still said seriously.
"General Ross, we sincerely hope to cooperate closely with the military. I believe you have experienced our company's products before. We do not seek to restore the previous level of cooperation with the military..."
Stark noticed Lin Jue's gaze, quickly told the problem, and seized the opportunity in front of him. If the current cooperation problem between Stark Industries and the U.S. National Defense was solved, his reputation in the company would be greatly improved. improvement.
This would shorten his path to full control of Stark Industries.
"Well, yes, there is no problem with Stark Industries' weapons and equipment at all. Although some guys in the army think that we should cooperate with Hammer Industries, which is more cost-effective, but I don't think so. Their weapons are not as good as those of Stark Industries. The industry is excellent. At the same time, since I have Colonel Lin Jue’s recommendation, I will immediately bring up the cooperation between the military region and your company!”
"Thanks!"
Stark's face was full of gratitude. Under the witness of Lin Jue, he quickly discussed the follow-up cooperation plan and the list of weapons to order.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Lin Jue greeted a group of impatient businessmen who had been waiting for a long time with a smile on his face.
"Grand Duke Yongye, I am the agent of ** company. This is my business card. Our company's main business is luxury perfume..."
"Hello, I have admired the name of Grand Duke Yongye for a long time. I heard that your company wants to expand the arms business. I wonder if our company can cooperate with your company. I believe you have heard of our name..."
"In terms of real estate..."
After symbolically accepting a lot of business cards from unfamiliar faces, Lin Jue briefly talked with them and returned to Stark again.
"Uncle Lin, these people really respect your Yongye Company so much!"
Stark said with some sour envy.
"Haha, they are just mundane things, they are not worthy of my attention..."
Whispering softly, Lin Jue seemed to be talking to himself, but the words were clearly heard in the ears of Stark and General Ross.
"Colonel, what do you mean by mundane things?"
Ross's heart was a little active. This time, he was not as simple as simply recognizing Lin Jue. Aside from worshiping and admiring Lin Jue, he also harbored a larger purpose, which is what the top leaders of the United States currently desire.
"Oh, this world is about to undergo huge changes. We must always face possible dangers. These false things are just a flash in the pan!"
Lin Jue's eyes passed over the businessmen who were talking to each other, and he smiled lightly.
"Colonel, is there going to be another war?"
Ross was a little surprised. He believed that Lin Jue would not say these words for no reason. No matter Lin Jue's current status or identity, he must have been exposed to something unusual.
At the same time, the sense of crisis that already existed in his heart became more and more intense, and he became more urgent about a certain secret experiment he was doing.
"Ha, Ross, you are also a general of the United States of America after all. Regarding the current international situation, no matter what, you should know better than me!"
"...What do you mean?"
Ross asked quickly.
Stark and Botz on the side also pricked up their ears silently, obviously extremely curious about such a secret thing.
"Heh, maybe the war doesn't come from the earth?"
After leaving such an incomprehensible remark, except for Rose who was thoughtful, Stark and Botz both looked confused.
Lin Jue looked at the scene in front of him. He naturally knew that the world already knew about the existence of aliens. There had even been an alien crisis. A certain flying man who absorbed the energy of the space gem was still traveling in the universe.
As a general, Ross must know such things!
"...I think people should enjoy the present more. It's not good to be filled with future crises, Uncle Lin!"
Stark didn't take it seriously. Now he just wants to quickly revive Stark Industries and enjoy life. He has no ambitions in saving the world or anything like that.
"LOL, really?"
Lin Jue chuckled somewhat meaningfully.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Ross invited Lin Jue to the top floor of the hotel alone.
"Ross, did the people above ask you to find out about me?"
The smile on Lin Jue's face remained unchanged, and he looked at Ross who looked a little embarrassed in front of him.
"Yes, Colonel, everyone who knows that period of history is very excited about your return. After investigating your deeds in Great Britain, they are... puzzled that you have been able to remain young!"
"Oh, I know that there is no one who does not yearn for immortality, but immortality has to pay a price that they cannot bear!"
Looking out the window, Lin Jie looked at the vast sea of stars in the sky and said lightly.
"Yes, actually I am more interested in the Super Soldier Serum than them. Did you know that during the time when you passed away, the government vigorously promoted Steve's deeds and repeatedly downplayed your existence? Ha, Those guys are really despicable. If you hadn’t led the American soldiers to turn the tide and smashed the Nazi conspiracies again and again, how would we be living today!”
Ross said angrily.
"I don't care about those false reputations, but since you came with a mission, I will naturally give you a satisfactory answer!"
Lin Jue took out the blood of immortality that he had prepared in advance and handed it to the shocked General Ross.
"This is……"
"That's right!"
"Thanks for your trust!"
Ross gave a standard military salute, but Lin Jue smiled lightly and put down his arm.
"I didn't give it to you for nothing, Rose. You know, my company has just established itself in the United States and needs development opportunities. This requires dealing with you."
"Colonel, you know, if you need anything, I will do whatever I can."
"Oh, maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the near future!"
"?"
Thinking that it was Lin Jue's teasing remarks, General Ross did not take it to heart. Soon, he put the container of immortal blood in his briefcase and hurriedly left the hotel with Lin Jue's consent. A large group of men wearing suits and solemn faces surrounded them.
The surrounding politicians looked at each other in disbelief, and then left together.
Such behavior was seen by Stark, and he sneered as he guessed something.
