"Tony Stark? He's still alive? "Hearing this, everyone present was extremely surprised, especially the military and S.H.I.E.L.D., it was definitely a great surprise.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Wakanda, both forces have gone to great lengths to find Stark's whereabouts.

What they finally found was the crash site of the two helicopters and the black box, but they still had no clue about Stark's whereabouts, especially since none of the crews of the two planes survived, which made both parties very worried.

Don't look at the results announced to the outside world by all aspects of the United States, Stark is still missing, but in fact, internally, they all feel that Stark has hung up. 、

And there is a reason why the two sides care so much about Tony Stark.

Needless to say, Stark's father, Howard Stark, is also one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., so although S.H.I.E.L.D. has not yet contacted Stark, it is still very concerned about him.

As for the military, it is due to two considerations, one is needless to say, it is for prestige considerations, after all, Stark disappeared under the protection of the military, and if Stark is really dead, the military must bear this responsibility.

The other is out of profit. Today, the entire United States, and even the world, arms companies, can be said to be the dominant Osben.

The only one who could possibly pose a threat to Osben was Stark...... But there's a premise here, and that's the case where Tony Stark is there.

In fact, the products that the military purchased from Chris in the past, couldn't Stark develop them? It's all developed, as long as Tony Stark is willing to do it...... After all, Tony Stark is the one who can make steel suits, and he also has great research on artificial intelligence, what power armor and mechanical soldiers, for Stark, is definitely not too difficult.

In the past, the products that Chris sold to the military that have been castrated countless times, you want to say that the technology content in them is higher than that of steel suits? That's simply not possible.

In the end, the military still chose to purchase Oscom's products instead of funding Stark to develop similar products, because Stark's price was more outrageous than Oscom's.

Why is that? Because of R&D costs.

For high-tech, the manufacturing cost is actually small, the R&D cost is the big one, the research direction is good, if the direction is wrong, then tens of trillions of dollars are very normal.

What's more, R&D requires not only money, but also a lot of time.

From a product, from project establishment, to research and development, to testing and production, it takes time and money to invest, which is really no joke, especially if it also needs mass production.

These things cost zero for Chris, who has a complete interstellar technology system, but for Tony Stark, it takes a lot of money and time to practice and develop step by step.

So I compared the R&D cost and time required by Stark, and then compared the slightly high price of Ostech's off-the-shelf products.

Obviously, it is still a good price to buy Osben's off-the-shelf products directly...... This is the reason why Chris has been able to rely on some castrated "garbage" for a long time, but he can still firmly suppress the Stark Group.

If it weren't for Tony Stark, even if Chris drove the price to the sky, the military would have to grit its teeth and buy it.

Because in addition to Stark, the R&D capabilities of other arms companies are ...... Hehe.

Without Tony Stark, Stark is just an ordinary arms company, and it has no competitiveness against Oss.

This is also why this time the military did not even inform the Stark Group of this military purchase, and directly sent the neck to the Osborne Group to be slaughtered...... But Tony Stark is back, so they can still be more or less embarrassed when they face Osben.

So for Stark's return, both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military are happy to see it.

But for the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. to show joy.

Chris's heart was full of huh...... Only he knows that Stark's return may not be a good thing for these two parties.

Although Tony Stark in this world was not seriously injured by the attack of the Ten Rings Gang, he did not experience the kind of struggle on the verge of life and death.

But that doesn't mean Tony Stark's trip to the Middle East has been less stimulated.

First, the plane he was on was attacked, and he was pushed out of the plane by those soldiers for the first time and survived, and none of the living soldiers who were joking with him survived.

He was then tricked into Wesker's secret base by Axella, and imprisoned after he found out his true colors.

During his time in captivity, Wesker and Axella did not harm him, but in order to bring him to his knees, they also made him witness many cruel biochemical experiments, and countless innocent people either died or turned into disgusting monsters.

What makes Stark even more difficult to accept is that many of Wesker's subordinates in the base use Stark's weapons...... Of course, there are more weapons produced by Osben.

And after teaming up with Laura, defeating Wesker, and searching the secret biochemical base, he was even more shocked.

And in addition to these experiences, what made Stark even more angry was that he had been betrayed.

Betrayed by those closest to him, by those he regarded as his elders.

That's right, this man is Obadistan.

Don't forget, Wesker and the Ten Rings are allies, and the Ten Rings are important partners of Obadistan, and when Stark went to the Middle East, Obadista secretly contacted the Ten Rings Gang, wanted to buy Stark's life, and leaked Stark's whereabouts.

It's just that Stark, who has never played according to the routine, temporarily changed his itinerary and took a helicopter to find his good friend Roddy, and accidentally avoided the ambush circle of the Ten Rings Gang.

Originally, since the ambush didn't happen, Stark naturally wouldn't know about it.

But alas, there was an Axella.

This ambitious woman, as one of Wesker's most important partners, knew some of Wesker's secrets very well, and this matter happened to be within the scope of her knowledge.

Then he betrayed Wesker and wanted to put his foot on Stark's thigh, so he naturally told Stark about it without any burden.

So when Stark comes back this time, he will definitely investigate this matter, and Obadi will definitely not sit still.

This also means that Stark Corporation will definitely be in chaos for a while in the next time.

And if Stark is in chaos, then both S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military will definitely scratch their heads.

It's just that for all this, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military didn't expect it, but they waited for Stark's arrival quite expectantly.

As for Chris? He wasn't worried at all, anyway, whether it was S.H.I.E.L.D., the military, or Stark, no matter how much trouble he made, it wouldn't be able to happen to him, he just had to be a melon eater, and then come out at the right time to get cheaper.
