Satisfied? Of course, the people present were very satisfied with the battle armor called the Predator. They sat in the command car and watched with various monitors, and during the explanations of the Eredar Twins, it can be said that their understanding of the performance of this armor is much deeper than that of the Mighty King and others who were killed by him.

Ignoring the protection of automatic rifle attacks, a multi-vision observation system, a stealth device that can be called almost completely invisible, and an auxiliary device that can enhance the wearer's strength, biomimetic combat boots and gloves that can silently climb on smooth glass with bare hands. These are all creations that can be called revolutionized forms of warfare.

The only thing that made them feel that the fly in the ointment was that they felt that the armor's long-range attack method was too weak, and only the one on his shoulder was said to be a shoulder cannon made by analyzing the Kitari rifle technology, but they also felt that this flaw was very easy to solve, and it was a big deal to let him carry a Gatling on his other shoulder.

"So that's what you're going to sell to the military?" asked the high-ranking military officer, who was a little fat and bald. He was the plenipotentiary representative of the Ministry of Defense for the tour, Lieutenant General Hogelwin. He felt that since the Ereda Twins were using this armor for demonstration, then this must be the main product of their current military sale.

"Nope. Salorath shook her head, and when everyone was puzzled, she said, "This armor is just a prototype." ”

The performance of this armor is so powerful, it is still just a trial type?General Hogg was really stunned for a moment, and then naturally asked, "So... Your official merchandise is better than this?"

"Hmm," Salorath shook her head, "the products we intend to sell will have some discounts on performance, and the quality will be much worse than this." ”

General Hogg was not too surprised when he heard this answer, but asked lightly, "Why?"

"The reason why this armor is called a prototype is because it combines a variety of ideas that we have imagined, so when it is manufactured, it also integrates a variety of the most advanced technologies in our company, such as advanced materials, new energy technology, optical technology, and human body modification technology..." It's hard to make a profit by selling it as a commodity. ”

"And for the military. At this time, Salorath took up the conversation again: "It is unrealistic to expect to be installed in large quantities of expensive and difficult to mass-produce things, and the maintenance costs will also become a heavy burden in the future." So we're going to sell a simplified version of this armor when we have a breakthrough in our research on this armor that can reduce costs and achieve mass production. This is the ideal solution for the current situation. ”

Ereda Twins' words are really the truth of their conscience. The development of the Predator's armor was the longest-running, most involved, and most expensive project since the opening of the Umbrella Company, except for the Pharaoh's Eagle armor.

It took him half a month to save it up with his three assistants, and he spent $200,000 in research funds at once! Half of it was their salaries and bonuses, and the remaining half was the purchase of materials and utilities.

If you want to mass production, it is really difficult, Gneus said with tears at the time, as long as you give me three days to rub a machine tool out, I can only produce a few hundred sets a day, if I want more, I can only rub a machine tool!

"I see. "General Hogg's behavior of the Eredar Twins planning to sell defective products to the military is really... I'm used to it.

After being in the Ministry of Defense for so long, the arms sales deal is not being talked about this time, and I still don't know what those capitalists are thinking?

Almost all kinds of weapons of the US military are purchased from the personal arms companies of the capitalists. And driven by huge profits, these companies are also more than happy to develop advanced weapons and sell them to the U.S. military, but they will not sell the best products. Because if they sell the best, won't the outdated version they make in the development process be worthless?

Profit maximization is what capitalists seek. So after they win the bid, they usually sell the outdated products, and after a few years, when the value of these backward products is squeezed out, they will sell the upgraded version, and by this time they must have developed a more advanced version.

That's why Lieutenant Admiral Hogg thinks that this behavior of the Ereda Twins is very normal, and there is no need to make a fuss at all.

"Then you write a proposal for a simplified version of your work. Lieutenant General Hogg said lightly, "But I also remind you that the Ministry of Defense will review your proposal, so I hope you don't oversimplify." "We don't care if we buy defective products, but it's too much for you to sell us scrap!

"No problem. Oreses smiled and agreed. Anyway, we have a technology monopoly, and what we really take out is scrap, and you will treat it as a treasure.

"Alright, let's talk about that later. Lieutenant General Hogg took out a blue envelope and handed it to the Ereda Twins, "This time I also have a special mission, it is an order issued by Mr. President himself, and this is a document signed by the President. ”

"Oh, that's an honor... So the details of this mission are..."The Eredar Twins opened the envelope and glanced at the document, which only said carte blanche to Lieutenant General Hogg LM Alwyn to carry out this mission, and the name of the president was signed, but the actual content of the mission was not mentioned above.

"Before I tell you about the content of the mission, I must make a statement beforehand. Lieutenant General Hogg sat up straight, and his whole body became serious: "This mission is a task directly issued by the president to the US Department of Defense, and it is a secret among secrets. Therefore you must keep it confidential, and if you leak it, you will bear the consequences. Can you do it?"

"We're happy to keep it a secret. The Ereda twins replied with a smile, but this attitude did not seem to satisfy the other party, so they had to become serious as well, "We promise to keep it confidential. ”

"Good. Lieutenant General Hogg nodded, then said the content of the mission: "The U.S. government needs a superhero right now. ”

"A superhero?" Salorath wondered, "Don't you already have the legendary hero Captain America?

"Captain America, the signature of the military, the representative of the American spirit, I grew up listening to his stories, and I still admire him personally. Lieutenant General Hogg's face was a little ugly, but the reality is very ironic, such a person does not belong to the United States now, and he is at the disposal of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

Captain America's previous personnel relationship was attached to the Science Strategy Corps, but later the Science Strategy Corps was transformed into S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. has now become a world organization, and the U.S. government can't control him at all. So if the U.S. government wants to use Captain America, if it gives up its old face to beg him, then Captain America will probably express its obligation, but if it wants to transfer him away with a paper order, it really has no door.

"What about the Iron Patriot?" asked Oresses, "I remember that Mr. President seemed to be very considerate of him. ”

"Don't mention it. Lieutenant General Hogg shook his head, "Last time, he was a big mess in front of the president." ”

Some time ago, Mandarin was in a fierce trouble, and the president turned the war machine into a steel patriot in order to calm the people, but also to fight terrorists and protect himself. But in the end, this guy actually achieved nothing, went out to fight terrorists without any results, not to mention fell into a trap, and he was supposed to protect the president's safety, but he was made into a Trojan horse and a talisman for the invasion of Air Force One.

Afterwards, the president felt that if it weren't for the Ereda Twins and their bodyguards last time, his old life might have been planted in his hands.

"And... Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, whether it is Tony Stark or S.H.I.E.L.D., is very close. Lieutenant General Hogg was a little nervous when he said, "Maybe one day Nick Fury beckons to him, and he may wag his tail to help!"

It's okay to say about Captain America, after all, S.H.I.E.L.D. had the lead from the beginning. But the lieutenant colonels of the Air Force who are on active duty in their own country are all eye-to-eye with S.H.I.E.L.D., who can stand this!

However, the U.S. military did not dare to punish Rhodes for this matter, let alone dismiss him, because the armor of the war machine was given to Rhodes by Tony Stark personally, and did not belong to the military's property. So if you fire Rhodes and the war machine is gone, it's a big loss for the military.

And the current relationship between Rhodes and S.H.I.E.L.D. may be a trick set by Nick Fury's old fox, deliberately responding to you. As soon as you fire Rhodes here, maybe they will go to work at S.H.I.E.L.D. the next day. This must be a blood congestion!

"I see. Oresses nodded, "You don't just have a superhero, but this hero is completely controlled by the U.S. government, right? I guess you're planning to customize one from our company, right?"

"Exactly. Hogg nodded, "You make a superhero out, and then we buy it, it's as simple as that between us, as for the issue of publicity afterwards, it's none of your business, of course, our deal this time also doesn't exist." ”

"No problem. Salorath smiled and replied, as if this kind of thing wasn't too difficult, "Do you have a candidate?" I don't think you want our company to have its own people, right?"

"Of course. Hogg took out another envelope and handed it over. We must be cautious about this kind of candidate, and after layers of review, not only must we be healthy and able to withstand biochemical transformation, but more importantly, we must have correct views and ensure absolute loyalty to the United States.

Ereda Twins opened the folder and looked at it, there was a pile of personnel information in it, but there were only a dozen, and it only indicated the parameters of physical fitness, as well as the results of mental tests, and did not say anything else.

"That's him..."Salorath seemed to study the data of these people, but in fact she just pulled out one and handed it back.

Lieutenant Admiral Hogg took a look at the information, and the lucky one who was chosen was called, Jeffrey Mason.
