Chapter 39: Evacuation of Sokovia

For Neil, he felt that his chat with Rod did not get along, but for Rod, he found the chat not only pleasant, but he also took advantage of the situation to get Neil to the ground.

Now he has a judgment about Neil in his heart: mysterious, cold (sullen), and does not like to communicate with people.

Of course, it may also be the reason why Neil is not in a good mood, Rod can feel that Neil has something on his mind, but he doesn't ask, just talks to himself in front of his confidants.

If it were to treat other Avengers, Rhodes would never be like this, even if the other party was a cold ass, he would not blush and stick it without a heartbeat.

Neil is a scientific and technological talent, the handsome and powerful flying machine just now, Rod has not seen it for so many years, and he has never even heard of it, no one can hide that the world has developed such a set of mecha that has been completed, and it is still unknown.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has just experienced the Hydra Incident, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and even the funds for the development of new equipment are almost insufficient, and it is impossible to have extra resources to develop such a large-scale technological mecha.

And Neil is an outsider, so the origin of the mecha is clear, and this mecha is definitely owned by Neil's own country.

It just so happens that the U.S. military has been feeling extremely uneasy lately, and more and more events have made them anxious: the Battle of New York, the Great Invasion of London, the events in Washington, and the recent Sokovia unrest.

All of this is a metaphorical implication that the world is no longer safe.

They need new power, new technology, new equipment!

Although in the eyes of some military and politicians, the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. are soldiers in their own families and slaves of the United States, and when they encounter danger, the first thing they must support is the United States.

But anyone with a little longer brain knows that now the Avengers belong to the world.

When war comes, not only will they not help the United States, but they may even be neutral, but they will run to help the weaker countries out of sympathy.

So the U.S. military feels threatened, their position as the hegemon has been taken away, and they need some high-tech equipment to arm their soldiers.

The military and some politicians have stumbled on Tony Stark before, trying to use public opinion and oppression to make Tony hand over his armor skills.

But in the end, instead of getting Tony's suit, it backfired, not only being scolded by people all over the world, but also making the president cut a wave of military spending when he saw the situation, and the angry bigwigs didn't sleep for several days.

Since then, the military has never used heavy-handed tactics again, and it does not dare to stumble again.

When I met capable and talented people, they were all kind, and if I could send a lobbyist to talk about it, if I could serve the military in vain, contribute to the world, and dedicate my research hands, of course, it would be great.

If it really doesn't work, then spend money on it!

The U.S. military doesn't dare to say anything else about this, that is, there is a lot of money.

In all the countries of the world, in terms of equipment alone, if they want to admit the second loser, then absolutely no one dares to admit the first!

For the sake of new equipment, new blood, it is customary to spend money lavishly, a cross-era technology, and it is normal to casually take out billions of dollars to invest.

As long as the things are good, the conditions are negotiable.

So when Rhodes saw the Storm Mecha, he had already prepared a rhetoric in his heart, he must have a good relationship with this person, not to mention that he would volunteer to help the U.S. military, and stay in the possible future cooperation, and make a little discount at will, which would also be excellent.

Tony was reluctant to sell his suit, which he understood, so he didn't force it.

Now, after many years, a new type of cross-era equipment has finally appeared, which can be described as an opportunity that cannot be lost, and it is already necessary to grasp the scale, and it is no longer possible to steal chickens and rice like Tony did last time.

Neil didn't know what Rod had in mind, but he could sense Rode's overzeal.

Even if he is not disgusted by this enthusiasm, his mood will be somewhat helpless and irritable.

He actually wants to be alone now, look at the bright night at an altitude of 10,000 meters, count the stars in the sky, and enjoy this long-lost peace and beauty.

There are too many places on Earth that resemble Arad and bring back many memories of Neil's past.

Rhodes is still a soldier after all, and has dedicated his life to the U.S. military, and even now that he has joined the Avengers and has new responsibilities and jobs, he still thinks about the military all the time.

But in any case, this is not his criticism.

If he forgets his country and his career history after he has a new job, it will really make people feel bad.

The two chatted for almost half an hour, during which Neil gradually became more patient with Rod and had a lot more affection.

At least this person, who seems to have low emotional intelligence, is quite proficient in the art of speaking, his words are very humorous, he ridicules the military and the Avengers in various ways, and by the way, he also broke a lot of bad things about the Avengers.

Neil lay calmly on the sidelines, enjoying the breezy massage.

It's Ephesy on the side who giggles when she listens, and her little head trembles.

"Alright man, it's cold enough here, my suit is running out of energy, are you still going to stay here?"

Rhodes got up from the ground, clasped his hands, and made trembling movements.

Neil snorted through his nose in response.

"Okay, then I'll go down, if you're hungry, I won't help you bring food up, you have to move your legs and go down and get it yourself."

"Got it."

Neil narrowed his eyes without looking back.

......

Sokovia.

"All residents of the West Side have been evacuated."

Wanda manipulated the magic and influenced the minds of all the ordinary people around her, causing them to evacuate towards the city in an orderly and rapid manner.

A flash of silver wind flashed, and Pietro stopped in front of Wanda, holding his legs and gasping for breath, while looking at Wanda worriedly.

"Are you okay?"

Wanda shook her head, but beads of sweat were pouring out of her forehead.

Pirot hurriedly stepped forward, used his sleeve to help Wanda get rid of the sweat, and then said in a nervous tone: "If you can't hold on, call me, no matter where I am, after hearing your call, I will appear in front of you in the next second." ”

Wanda smiled with difficulty and nodded to adapt, "I see." ”

"Why don't you say thank you, brother?"

Wanda glanced at him and smiled angrily, "We were born on the same day." ”

"I'm thirteen minutes and twenty-one seconds ahead of you......"

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"Go ahead." Wanda laughed.

Pirot also smiled, turned into a flash of flash silver, and disappeared in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the residential area that had not been evacuated a hundred meters away.
