The Minister of Defense nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I will visit Stark the day after tomorrow, and I will focus on discussing the matter of the steel suit, there is no need to take such a risk." The Ministry of Defense will increase the investment of your super soldier plan, and the super weapon will also approve special funds, and you will be responsible for it. ”

As he spoke, the Secretary of Defense locked the plan presented by Ross in his drawer, stood up, patted Ross on the shoulder, and said, "The United States needs a general like you, and we must not let you become a victim." ”

After hesitating for a while, he said: "If it really doesn't work, I will find someone to carry out your plan, you have to clean yourself up, and you must not be implicated." ”

"Yes!"

Ross left the Pentagon at a brisk pace and flew away from Warsington on a special plane back to his Special Forces Headquarters, the Everglades Base. Before he could speak, Samuel Stern, who had his back to him and was watching the experiment, said, "It looks like everything is going well." ”

If there was a mirror in front of Rose, he would have seen that the folds on his smiling face were almost unfolded, and he was obviously in a very good mood. Hearing Samuel Stern's words, Ross nodded and said, "As you expected, not only did I get more funding, but I also successfully got the funds for the development of super weapons, and the Secretary of Defense also left that plan." ”

"Very well," Samuel Stern said without looking back, "you can contact AIM and proceed to the next step." ”

General Ross walked up to Samuel Stern and said, "Isn't it too urgent, do you want to wait for the Ministry of Defense?" ”

"Stark will never hand over the technology of the steel suit, not only to maintain his identity as Iron Man, but also if the steel suit is flooded, the harm will definitely be a hundred times greater than that of the Jelik missile."

Samuel Stern turned his huge head slightly and said, "Just like you, will you share the super soldier technology with other colleagues?" ”

Ross was silent suddenly, how could this be possible, the super soldier plan was his further ladder, whoever dared to pick peaches, he would dare to fight with whomever he wanted. Not to mention the steel suit, a single weapon with a market size of more than 100 billion, and if you think about the future, I'm afraid that trillions are a starting point, and a fool will give up so much money.

After struggling inwardly for a while, Rose nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact AIM... Well, you can't..."

Before Ross could finish speaking, Samuel Stern interrupted him and said, "Don't want to monopolize the steel suit technology, I'm still worried that AIM won't be able to withstand Stark, and if necessary, Rakkarn Industries can come in."

The predecessor of Kahn Industries was Hammer Industries, which developed drones, and when the time comes, it can use this to fight a patent lawsuit with Stark, after all, outsiders don't know that Hammer Industries' servers have been emptied. ”

The greed in his heart made Ross a little unwilling, but he also knew that the patent was a system of exploitation by the capitalists uniting together, not to mention a general, even the president would not dare to touch it, he did this, it was simply a tiger's mouth, and if he didn't find a few more Wu Song, he would definitely be eaten, so he could only nod and agree.

While Ross was on his way to AIM's military factory under the pretext of visiting weapons, the Secretary of Defense also arrived at Stark Industries' headquarters in California and had a secret conversation, or negotiation, with Stark.

The content of the negotiations was not known to outsiders, not even a memorandum was left, and the two sides had a pleasant conversation, exchanging opinions about defense and the Avengers, and finally shaking hands and hugging with smiles on their faces.

Stark personally sent the Minister of Defense to the airport, waved his hand to watch the Secretary of Defense enter the plane, and then turned back to his sports car, and as soon as the door with reflective film was closed, Stark's face became gloomy, and he could wring out water.

Harpy, the driver and bodyguard, clearly saw from the rearview mirror that his boss was in a bad mood, even if he applauded the model unpleasantly, he had never been so bad, and he wisely regarded himself as blind and deaf, unable to hear or see, and concentrated on driving.

Stark sat in the back seat with a gloomy face, and maintained this position until Harpy drove out of the city and drove to the road to his cliff villa, then he moved, took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and said, "Rod, I received an invitation from the White House, no, it's not a party or a meal." The battle for Warsington's abandoned factory made the president feel that the guards could not deal with these Inhumans, and wanted to ask the Avengers to protect him for a while. ”

In the Stark base, Rode, who was sweating profusely, was sitting on the gym equipment, wiping his sweat with a towel, listening to Stark's words on the mobile phone, he couldn't help but say: "Let's protect him, how much money does it cost every day, it makes you tempted." ”

Rod knew Stark, if Stark hadn't agreed, there would definitely not be this call, and he wouldn't let others know that there was such an invitation, Stark listened to Rode's words, grinned, and said: "I have the money, but the conditions he gave me are very exciting, and I don't dare to agree." ”

"How exciting?"

"The right to act, the Avengers can operate freely in the United States without violating federal law, and special funds will be allocated, which means that we are an official organization."

Rhodes nodded, this condition is indeed impossible to refuse, the Avengers are now a civil self-organized organization according to the rules of mankind, and many things cannot be done, or it is illegal according to federal law.

Just like the last battle on Route 278, which caused so much damage and casualties, the Twisting Police Department has issued a bounty notice, but anyone who can provide effective information on both sides of the battle or help in the capture can get a large bounty.

The battle was caused by Grell and the Inhumans, and according to federal law, both sides are responsible for the losses and casualties of the battle, which is like a street fight, where even if no third party is injured, they have to be detained for provocation, let alone cause so much damage.

However, if it is authorized by the president, it is for the safety of the United States and the protection of people's lives and property, and naturally there is no such problem, which is equivalent to obtaining a 'combat license' and not having to work without a license.

"So you're going to let me go?" Rod immediately said that there are only a few people in the Avengers now, Parker and Banner will not talk about it, they must not be able to go, Grell and Daisy can go, but the two children are in the bodyguard group, it is too conspicuous, and Stark can't command them, so this is a multiple-choice question at all.
