Chapter 217 Military Movements (Part 1)

"I repeat, I'm a doctor, not God." Strange stood in front of Obadiah's bed and said, "He is the first patient I have seen who was re-hospitalized within a week of being discharged. If this frequency is considered, not to mention the newly developed medicine, even God can't save him."

Stark, who was standing on the other side of the bed, sighed deeply. Schiller next to him asked him, "I am sure that all his physical indicators were completely fine before he was discharged from the hospital, and even far exceeded ordinary people. How did you manage to make him so angry that he had a high blood pressure attack and was hospitalized again within a week?"

Stark said aggrievedly, "I didn't do anything. It's just that after he was discharged from the hospital, he saw the latest report of the Stark Group and the contract of Stark Osborn United Pharmaceutical Group, and it became like this..."

The cause of the incident was that Obadiah woke up after the last course of treatment. Just as Connors and Schiller expected, the medicine that stimulated brain activity extracted from the fear gas combined with the healing medicine in the lizard serum not only woke Obadiah up, but also improved his physical fitness.

After a short rest, Obadiah went back to work. That's right, the first thing he did after waking up was not to have a chat with Stark. Stark watched Obadiah pass him and run quickly to his beloved company.

Obviously, in Obadiah's view, Stark Industries is more important than Stark.

Although Obadiah had prepared himself as much as possible before returning to the company, the company's situation still made him feel dizzy.

There was nothing wrong with Stark Industries' original industry. Although Pepper went through a long adaptation period when he took over and was a little busy in the early stage, he did a good job in the end. Although the profit was not as good as when Obadiah was there, it was barely acceptable. Although Obadiah was a little heartbroken, he still accepted the result.

What Obadiah really wanted was the new business in recent times, that is, Stark-Osborn Joint Pharmaceutical Group and the Immortality Factor Foundation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Stark Group was created by Obadiah. Without Obadiah, Howard's genius ideas would never be anything but paper talk and could not be converted into real practical benefits. Obadiah's talent in business is unmatched.

When he just returned to the company, he heard about the immortality factor industry and was surprised by this genius idea, but then he saw the contract between Stark and the Osborne Group and the Immortality Factor Foundation, and then he had a high blood pressure attack and was hospitalized again.

The phrase "heart is bleeding" can no longer express Obadiah's feelings well. His current situation is that his heart has nothing but blood, and he is about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.

Stark feels that the conditions he has negotiated are good enough, but in the eyes of business tycoons like Osborne, Stark is like a son selling his father's land without feeling sorry. You actually went to negotiate a share with the Osborne Group? Shouldn't he pay the money? He actually gave up a full 3% share for the order of naming a company! This prodigal son!

Obadiah was really angry to death. He was so angry that he wanted to dig Howard out of the coffin and let him see how much his son was a spendthrift.

Stark felt very wronged. Objectively speaking, he had tried his best.

Stark sighed and said, "Pepper and I thought we did a good job, but the result..."

"You may not be not smart enough, but you are not greedy enough." Schiller concluded.

Stark spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. I can finally stop worrying about those annoying things and return to my previous happy life."

Schiller shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you're happy a little too early."

"Do you know the recent movements of the military?"

"The movements of the military, oh..." Stark said, "Let me guess, they must have a lot of questions waiting to ask me, and maybe they will want to hold a hearing, and then let me give them the technology of transforming into a cosmic demon and creating countless mechanical armies out of thin air..."

"Nick can't let them do this." Schiller told Stark the conclusion directly: "He even prepared a speech to denounce the military."

Schiller was right. Nick was fighting with the military at this time.

At present, Stark's attitude is more inclined to SHIELD. They have common interests in immortality factors and cosmic demons. They cooperate very happily. Both sides don't want a spoiler to come in. Stark will never cooperate with the military in an all-round way, but even if a little bit of meat is taken away, Nick will be heartbroken.

Human habits are difficult to change. If Stark is still a scientist who has mastered mecha technology like in the movie, he will probably still be coerced and bribed by the military like in the movie.

But now, he has exceeded this standard too much. The appearance of the Iron Devil has made the military and the Security Council think about living on another planet. The Wandering Earth Plan is on their lips. If Stark, who turned into a demon, had not disappeared out of thin air in the end, this would have been a mess.

Even if the Iron Devil who transformed the mechanical army disappeared, the military still had a lot of questions to ask Stark, but because the power Stark showed was too supermodel, they did not dare to use any coercive means.

Since Stark has not yet announced to the public that he is Iron Man, the military believes that he cannot participate in the public hearing. Therefore, they have tried to invite Stark to talk with the military privately.

But this plan has encountered too much resistance. On the one hand, in order to prevent Stark's contact with the military from destroying their cooperation, S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely interfere. In addition, after Obadiah returned, the Stark Group seemed to have a backbone. Obadiah was very resistant to cooperation with the military, and it was difficult for the military to contact Stark without him.

Now, Stark is not a hedgehog, but he is surrounded by a group of hedgehogs, and the military has some difficulty in starting.

But it is impossible for them to just stand by and watch. They will not let such a powerful force get out of their control. Even if they know that there is a nuclear bomb in front of them, before it finally explodes, there will always be people who want to knock some benefits from it.

Finally, the military approached the World Security Council.

It must be said that they found the right person. Seeing Nick Fury's power becoming stronger and stronger, and the superheroes around him becoming stronger and stronger, Alexander Pierce could not sit still.

Originally, he and Nick had common interests, such as the immortality factor industry, but Nick became bigger and stronger through a series of operations, and his dependence on Pierce became less and less. Seeing that the agent he chose was gradually out of control, Pierce also wanted to weaken Nick's power and hold him back in his hands.

Changes in interests determine changes in positions. Soon, Nick received a call from the World Security Council.

On an ordinary weekend morning in New York in autumn, the Global Times published a blockbuster news: "Tony Stark - The Secret Under the Metal Mask of Iron Man."

Stark put down the newspaper, put the coffee in his hand on the table, and said in a light tone: "That's good, I don't have to announce it myself, they said it for me."

Pepper opposite him said helplessly: "This matter has a great impact. Many people have been deceived by the military. They think you have the responsibility to hand over this advanced technology to the military to maintain world peace."

"Fuck world peace!" Nick said loudly in his office with his mobile phone: "Don't use your rhetoric to fool three-year-olds to fool me!"

"When will your tricks end? Constant temptation, encroachment, public opinion pressure, economic sanctions, are your brains completely rusted?"

"Why don't you understand that this trick can no longer trap Stark, and once he is angered, the whole earth will be in danger, and the final mess will still be God's SHIELD will take care of it!"

After hanging up the phone, Nick sighed and said to Hill beside him: "What was the name of the host of the black symbiote last time? Is he a reporter from the Global Times? Contact him immediately..."

At this time, Eddie was standing in front of the hot dog stand in Hell's Kitchen and arguing with Venom: "Last time I reminded you that Mexican peppers are very spicy, but you still insisted on buying a super spicy hot dog. I almost died of the spiciness. This time I will definitely not..."

"You are really the most cowardly human I have ever seen. A little bit of pepper will make you wow Wow."

"I want a spicy one, thank you." A hoarse and low voice came from Eddie's throat, and then he twitched and said, "No! Not spicy, just slightly spicy..."

"No! I want spicy!"

"No..."

"Hey, wait, there's a beauty over there!"

"Don't try to interfere with me, this trick doesn't work anymore."

"Hello, my name is Hill, are you Eddie Brock?"

Eddie turned his head and saw Hill wearing a professional suit, appearing behind him.

"I am, what's wrong?"

"Hello, I'm Hill, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I need your cooperation on some work now." Hill showed his ID.

"Hello, Phantom, long time no see. I was too busy on the battlefield last time. Are you free recently?"

"Wait!" Eddie stopped Venom from saying the next sentence. He whispered, "Didn't you hear what she said? She is an agent of SHIELD..."

On the other side, Phantom also said to Hill in his mind, "I said before that Venom is really crazy. He actually wants his host to pick you up!"

"I don't think he wants his host to pick me up. Don't you think he wants to pick you up?"

"Don't joke." Phantom said, "Symbiotes have no gender at all, because we don't need to combine the sexes to reproduce like humans. My form is female, just because the human host I parasitized is female..."

At this time, a very subtle relationship has developed between the two pairs of symbiotes and their hosts. Eddie thinks that Venom must want to pick up Phantom, and Phantom thinks that Eddie wants to control his host to pick up Hill, but Hill thinks the same as Eddie, thinking that Venom must have taken a fancy to Phantom...

This caused the two of them to face each other, but they didn't know what to say, and could only talk to their own symbiotes in their minds.

Gonzalez, the hot dog seller, knocked on the tray and said, "Do you want more hot dogs?"

Eddie didn't know how to start, but before he could say anything, Venom said, "Two servings, one extra spicy, one mildly spicy, and two glasses of juice, one without ice, thank you."

When the hot dogs were out of the oven, Eddie and Hill sat down on the table and chairs under the parasol next to the hot dog stand. The Phantom said to Hill, "Do you really want to eat what Venom ordered? I'm really worried that I will be infected..."

Hill didn't touch the food in front of him, but said to Eddie, "You should have read the recent report in the Global Times, right?"

Eddie took a bite of the hot dog and said, "Are you referring to the report that revealed that Stark is Iron Man?"

"What do you think of this?"

"Although reporters sometimes need to repeat some obvious things over and over again, This is an obvious fact, but this report said something that anyone with a brain could guess, but it received such a big response, which made me think deeply about the meaning of my career. "

"SHIELD speculates that this is a trick by the military to put pressure on Stark again."

"It seems that I misunderstood my former colleagues. It's not the reporters who are stupid, but the military."

Hill asked the phantom in his mind: "Is your fellow venom always so venomous?"

"How do I know? I'm not interested in understanding a madman."

"The current situation is like this." Hill explained to Eddie: "We don't know what the military did, but in short, they impressed the World Security Council. The Security Council and the military stood on one side, claiming that Stark's technology can Better maintain world peace."

"They don't want Stark to hand over his technology, do they?"

"Maybe not all, but at least some." Hill paused: "If according to the power Stark showed that day, the goal of the Security Council and the military is at least his latest generation of mecha, and they may even want to get the power that makes Stark a god."

"In order to achieve their goals, they will find ways to harass Stark. Even if Stark is not afraid of them in terms of force, they have many ways to cause trouble for Stark and Stark Group to live in this society."

"S.H.I.E.L.D. wants to prevent this from happening, but the problem is that we are an organization under the World Security Council."

Hill gestured and said: "Obviously , Now our situation is a bit awkward. The World Security Council wants us not to intervene, and Director Nick is also under great pressure, so we can't help Stark openly. "

"But we don't want them to succeed, so we hope you can do us a favor."

"I used to be a reporter for the Global Times, but it was also a past." Eddie drank two sips of juice and said, "If you found me because of my former career, then you may be disappointed. I don't have any credibility in the industry anymore."

Hill said to Eddie: "The military will not only have this trick. Next, they should repeat the old tricks and manipulate major media to target Stark, accusing him of having such advanced technology but unwilling to contribute to human peace, and even digging up old accounts and accusing him of selling arms."

"We hope to get evidence that the editor-in-chief of the Global Times accepted bribes and guided public opinion. You should know that editor-in-chief very well, right?"

"In addition, due to the pressure from the Security Council, it is not convenient for SHIELD and SHIELD agents to come forward, so we hope to hire you to help us resist the military's offensive and stop them from blackmailing Stark. "

"I heard from Phantom that you have a grudge against Riot. Now SHIELD is using Riot for experiments. We can give him to you and add some of his remaining energy. How about that?"

"...Deal."
