70. Chips

Washington, D.C., Army Officers' Club.

Sean, dressed in a black suit, stepped into it, carrying a dark black box in his hand. His invited guests were sitting on stilted chairs, sipping on the sweet taste of rum, and their crisp military uniforms were adorned with shining gold stars, showing the pre-eminent status of their hosts.

"I've kept you waiting, General Ross." Sean strode over to the bar and beckoned the bartender for a glass of whiskey. "I thought a valiant soldier like you would like a strong drink like vodka."

Rose, who drank himself, laughed, then shook his head and said, "It was true when I was young, I liked spirits and beautiful women. It's just that I'm not a strong boy anymore, and my personal doctor keeps telling me to touch less tobacco and alcohol, saying that those things will make me go to God early......"

As he spoke, Rose took the top cigar ordered by the bartender, held it in his mouth, and let out a rich puff of smoke.

The gray-haired army general glanced at Sean and said straight to the point: "You want me to cheer for Osborne?" Young people, maybe the power of capital is pushing the country forward, but not everyone can be bought by money – at least you and Osborne can't afford that price for the time being. ”

Rose raised his head arrogantly, with a condescending look of condescending, Sean, a genius who moved New York, of course he had heard of it.

The Army General has seen many geniuses in half his life, such as Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark, the treacherous arms dealer, and Hank Pym, a diehard who doesn't know the times...... For a creature like a genius, Rose would no longer be surprised.

Human wisdom may be able to solve most of the world's problems, but it cannot lift a single stone, and the power of knowledge is not all-powerful, and it needs to be supported by money and capital.

"Of course I understand that money can't buy a general's friendship." Sean smiled faintly, not angry at General Rose's bluntness. "But I have something in my hands that the military is interested in - if it weren't for the bargaining chips to impress the general, I wouldn't humiliate myself."

Seeing Sean's confident expression, Rose couldn't help but feel amused, there were few young people who could continue to maintain a calm attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him.

"What can you and little Osben come up with? It's not easy to satisfy the appetite of an army general. The old man with the cigar in his mouth smiled disapprovingly.

The contradictions and disputes between Osborne Industries and Watsendon have long been circulating recently, and Watsonton, as the top of the industry, is like an inviolable lion, and any predator who dares to challenge its position will be torn to pieces by sharp minions!

The industry is generally not optimistic about the shallow-based Osborne industry, and the new helmsman, Harry Osborne, has mediocre results and few achievements, so how can he be a rival to an established company like Watsonton.

"Super Soldier." Sean said succinctly.

He carefully took out a potion from the dark box he had brought, and the thick green liquid seemed to be flowing all the time, exuding some strange attraction under the reflection of the light.

Rose's pupils shrank, and his nonchalant attitude immediately changed, and he pressed out his cigar with his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "It is already a well-known thing that Osborne has suffered a failure in the human enhancement program. Young people, don't do the wrong thing that you regret because of the impulse, and deceive a military dignitary, it's not fun. ”

The term Super Soldier has an unimaginable appeal to the military, and during World War II in the last century, Captain America Steve Rogers was the beneficiary of the Rebirth Project, who led the Roaring Commandos to defeat the German Nazi army and create a victory plane for the Allies. To this day, there is still a detailed record of this legendary story in the Brooklyn Museum and Memorial.

"Osborne's human augmentation program really failed, and it was only one step away from success – a strong-willed and good soldier."

The corners of Sean's mouth hooked a faint arc, he looked at General Ross, and said sarcastically: "I've checked a lot of information, General, is the Super Soldier Serum created by Dr. Abraham Erskine really so perfect and flawless?" As far as I know, Captain America wasn't the first super soldier, and before him, there was a man named John Schmidt who was injected. ”

"Because of the side effects, this first man to be injected with the Super Soldier Serum has become as terrifying as a skeleton, evil and murderous, and inhumane. The good guys get better, the bad guys get worse, and it's no different from the human enhancement potion that gave birth to the Green Goblin. ”

Sean knows the truth of history that was deliberately hidden by the military, and the super soldier in Dr. Erskine's eyes is not to have a strong physique, but to have a brave and fearless kind heart, so the thin little man Rogers was chosen, and it turns out that he did not live up to Dr. Erskine's expectations.

The injection of Super Soldier Serum will cause people to suffer unimaginably severe pain, and the physical torture will be amplified at the same time as the negative emotions in the mind, like a vicious beast released from the heart, devouring the positive personality of reason and kindness.

Red Skull, the former leader of Hydra, is a product of this situation, and Steve Rogers resists the devouring of the darkness inside, or rather, this great man called "Captain America" himself represents the beautiful side of the human spirit, and his will is indestructible and unshakable.

“…… You're right, the super soldier serum that made Captain America isn't perfect, and we'd be hard-pressed to find another person like him. ”

Rose sighed, and there was helplessness in his tone: "An army of murderers, careerists, and madmen is useless to us, and the military needs perfect super soldiers, loyal, strong, and capable of fighting against a hundred, with a powerful force to influence the battlefield!" ”

"Osborne didn't meet that, so the augmentation program was a failure!"

The tall army general stood up, he still thought that Sean could give some chips to impress him, and he talked about young people for a long time, wanting others to be your helpers, at least to give corresponding benefits, just the defective human enhancement potions are far from enough.

"Osborne is willing to give ten samples of the human enhancement drug, as well as all the research materials."

Seeing that General Ross was about to leave, Sean's face remained unchanged, he raised his glass and took a sip, then threw out the first bait: "I heard that the general has formed an independent scientific research team and found a genius in the field of physics, Dr. Bruce Banner, ready to copy the super soldier serum, I think these things should be very useful to you." ”

"Clever young people know how to do what they like." With a twinkle of appreciation in Rose's eyes, he sat back in his high-stilt chair and shook his head, "It's not enough. That's not enough for me to risk the wrath of a powerful medical conglomerate to raise the flag for Osborne. ”

"I don't need you to be Osborne's patron, General. As long as Osborne is still thinking of transitioning into the medical industry, he and Watsendon must have one to go out of. ”

Sean paused, his deep eyes revealing a hint of coldness, "I will package all the information and samples of Osborne's human enhancement program to you, and General, as long as I get my new drug on the market, the transaction will end here." ”

"How did you face Watsonton's comeback after that?" Ross asked with interest, as if interested.

"That's what Harry and I need to solve." Sean still maintains a humble and gentle polite image.

He tapped his fingers on the bar table and whispered, "Don't always tie me to Osborne." General, formally introduce yourself, Sean Siperth, founder of Ambrera Labs, I believe we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. ”
