Chapter 82 Recent changes
The plan to find some brain-to-eat for the symbiosis was ultimately unsuccessful, because Schiller found that this symbiosis not only shouted that it was positive, but also had extremely picky tastes.
"How do you think of him? I dare say that he must have more than a dozen lives on his hands, this gangster villain..."
"No, his brain is not fragrant enough, I won't eat it."
"Then what about him? Let me see, a lawsuit against a serial murderer should be a smart person, right?"
"He is not delicious either, it doesn't suit my taste."
"What about this? I heard that he once robbed the largest silver in Manhattan..."
“It must be very bitter.”
In the end, Schiller, who had to return to the psychological clinic, quarreled with the symbiosis in his mind: "Why are you so picky about food? Can't you just do it all at once? Why can't you eat the brains of a few ordinary criminals?"
"Then why don't you drink American coffee?"
Schiller opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute it, this symbiosis is getting smarter and smarter.
"Okay, but you have to tell me where you want to drink the Italian concentrate you want to drink, right?"
As soon as Schiller finished asking this in his mind, the clinic door rang. Steve, who had just finished running in the morning, walked in, and the symbiote said happily: "...The Italian concentrating is coming."
Following Captain America was Natasha. Before Schiller could speak, a yellow figure flew over. Natasha threw Pikachu into Schiller's arms. She said: "First of all, SHIELD has no pet fostering service!"
"But the contract..."
"We just modified the contract and mice are not allowed to be fostered!"
"You are discriminating, both dogs and cats are OK, why can't mice?"
"Yes!" Pikachu hugged her arms and said, "Why can't the mouse?"
"Shut up!" the others said together.
"Now dogs and cats are not good anymore. We have canceled this employee benefit and everyone is in favor of it."
"I just put it in those days..."
"How many days??? How many more do you want to put it on??? Colson changed 6 mobile phones in 7 days. Nick Fury used up all the annual leave and hurriedly left without staying for two days. Even the lieutenant general, who was usually the most willing to make things difficult for SHIELD, bought an economy class ticket at his own expense overnight and left..."
Natasha was frosting her waist at the door. The female agent was obviously very angry. She said: "The only good news is that the things he broke and the mental loss of the employees can add 50% of the reimbursement amount to Nick's statement next month..."
Schiller looked down at Pikachu and said, "I remember you promised me that you would stay well before I left..."
He grabbed Pikachu's two short hands and stared at him. Pikachu looked innocent with two dripping black eyes. Then he wrinkled his nose and jumped onto the sofa.
“pika—pika!”
"You've been away for a long time this time," Steve said on the sofa.
“So has something big happened recently?”
"There are no big things, but there are a lot of small troubles."
"Oh?" Schiller asked while washing cups in the kitchen sink, "What's the trouble?"
"Stuck and the military have completely broken their faces," Natasha said. "It is said that he has found conclusive evidence of the military planning of the kidnapping in Afghanistan, although I think that was Obadaiya's plan of disagreement."
"You mean, it was Obadaiya who planned this case and then blamed the military? Doesn't he want Stark Industrial Group to cooperate with the military?"
"Obadea is like a hen guarding eggs. He does not allow anyone to interfere with Stark Industrial Group. Whoever dares to touch his lifelong efforts will try every means to get rid of whom."
"Before Stark was kidnapped, Obadaiya had already been under a lot of pressure from the military. The military's appetite was endless. They wanted too much and even touched the core interests of Stark Industrial Group. Obadaiya has been disliked for a day or two."
"They did buy some ordinary weapons at the beginning, but the weapons of Stark Industrial Group are so easy to use. The military wants to get their technology and then graft the wood and produce it themselves. Of course, Obadaiya would not allow this to happen."
Natasha also leaned against the sofa, Steve poured her a glass of water, and Natasha said, "Thank you."
Then Steve said: "But I still think it's ridiculous. Just to destroy Stark's relationship with the military, he asked terrorists to kidnap Stark?"
"Obadea is very smart. He knows that Stark will create amazing technology sooner or later. He must give Stark a reason to never compromise with the military, so that his half-life effort will not be stolen by the military."
"As long as Stark, who has mastered core technology, never let go, at least, the core technology of Stark Industrial Group will be preserved."
"But that comes at the cost of his nephew's life's safety."
"Obadeya doesn't care." Natasha lit a cigarette and asked, "Don't you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
"Please," Schiller said.
Natasha looked at Steve, and Steve said, "I don't smoke, but there are many people smoking on the battlefield, so I don't mind."
The female agent slowly let out a puff of smoke, and it seemed that she was under a lot of pressure. Stark completely broke up with the military, which was not a complete good thing for S.H.E.D.
The relationship is like this now. S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military have always been incompatible because of the issue of military expenditure distribution and the outrageous law enforcement power of S.H.E.L.D.
The main conflict between Stark and S.H.I.E.D. is that his father and Stark do not want to be kidnapped by the official organization.
The main contradiction between Stark and the military is that the military's overly greedy appetite, and Stark does not want his inventions to be used in war.
None of these parties wants to see the other two parties unite, because there will inevitably be an enemy of their own. If its power is strengthened, it will definitely be difficult for them.
But they don’t want two of them to break up completely, because once the two sides break up and start a war on the spot, it must be a third party coming out to clean up the mess.
Schiller said with some remarks: "Stark and the military are in conflict. I'm afraid it's not just Obadai's credit behind this, right?"
Natasha said: "This is a secret, I have no right... Well, it's not a secret. Stark wants to cooperate with the military to develop medical technology and exoskeletons, but you know, the military doesn't want these things at all. What they want is a weapon with larger weapons and a weapon with stronger firepower."
"So, SHIELD used this to provoke their relationship?"
Natasha knocked Yansha and said, "We just pushed it lightly behind us, and more importantly, the foreshadowing that Obadaiya had laid long ago."
Steve asked in confusion: "Did Stark not have imagined that this might be Obadaiya's conspiracy?"
"He might have thought of it, but he's Tony Stark," Schiller said.
Natasha shook her head and said, "Obadeia Pacific knows his nephew. If she can blame everything on the military but can protect their uncle and nephew's relationship, then Stark will definitely choose to deceive himself and vent his anger on the military."
"More importantly..." Schiller also poured himself a glass of water and said: "Obadeya is still lying in the hospital and is unconscious, and he has become a victim."
"And the victim said whoever is the murderer is."
Steve sighed and said, "When Howard established Stark Industry, he might not have thought of this day."
"Maybe he thought, at least he must have thought that his genius brain and the skills in his hands would be targeted by people with ulterior motives," Schiller said.
"The current situation is about to break out, Stark is very tough and even slapped the table with a group of generals. General Johnson's affairs were exposed, and the military began to distrust Hammer Industry. They were eager to force Stark to bow his head."
"How do you think this matter will be resolved in the end? Do you use force?" Schiller asked Natasha.
The female agent shook her head and said, "They have already done a battle. General Johnson lost. The robot army has no choice but to deal with Stark. Stark has gotten a nanomech technology from somewhere. If he gives everyone a cigarette, it would be bad."
"The military is very anxious, but they dare not take action easily. I think they will eventually return to the negotiating table for exchange of interests."
"It should be another fight," Schiller said. "The military would not be happy to go to the negotiating table so quickly, because they knew that if they didn't give Stark a ruthless person, they would have no bargaining chips to exchange for Stark Industrial Group's technology."
"At least we are allies for the time being," Natasha said. "Stuck needs S.H.E.L.D. to take some of the pressure on him."
"What do you want? His nanomech technology?"
"I don't know this, it depends on what Director Fury means, but the route taken by SHIELD is different from that of the military. Even if we get a large number of nanomechs, there are no personnel to arm us. The agents are not suitable for wearing that thing. Maybe Nick has other plans."
"He never tried the idea of letting Stark tailor-made armor for the agents?"
Natasha put out the cigarette butt and said, "You don't know much about how the agents work. Simply put, the work that needs to be worn on a mecha will not increase much success rate, and the work that does not need to be worn on a mecha will not bring any better changes."
"Agents are not superheroes, most of us still rely on our brains to make a living."
"Brain! Eat!" the symbiote shouted in Schiller's head.
"So those medical cooperation between Stark and the military has also stagnated?" Schiller asked.
"Actually, there was not much start at the beginning. Stark did not directly provide technology, but they cooperated with research and development. The military has invited some experts, Stark provided some technical information and financial support. Of course, the cooperation should have been terminated now."
“Are there any results?”
Natasha shook her head and said, "Scientific research is not a family. How can there be any major achievements in such a short time?"
"If they can really unite, maybe a lot of soldiers will benefit from it," Steve said.
"This is impossible. Before a high or low is determined, neither side is willing to retreat. They both feel that they can get more benefits. This is just an exchange of interests, not for the real benefit of anyone."
Steve looked a little unwell, and he said: "Actually, I understand the truth. Before realizing comprehensive cooperation, both parties have to conduct countless tests until they find each other's bottom line, and then they can establish a cooperative relationship."
"But I sometimes think that if we can really use technology and financial resources where we should use it, we will definitely save a lot of people. If people think that this kind of wasteful behavior is necessary and I don't stop it, then who will sympathize with those who cannot be saved because these resources are wasted?"
"Captain, I understand that you have a sense of sympathy, but you don't have to take this mistake on yourself," Schiller said.
"I just think we can do better, and I always have a bad feeling," Steve said with his lips pursed.
