213, the prelude to the blind date
The black car drove past Fifth Avenue, and the banks of the River East were already lit up with high-rise buildings that pierced into the sky like spears.
This is the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the most popular residential area of New York's rich and famous, and also known as the "Gold Coast" in the outside world, many of the social elite like to buy real estate here to show off their wealth and taste.
The military treats senior generals quite generously, and General Ross comes from a famous northern family, so naturally he will not be bothered by money, ordinary people want to buy a residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where every inch of land is expensive, it may take decades of hard work to get it, but for a military bigwig, this is just a small thing to wave his hand.
This strong-handed, known as the "Thunder" in the Department of Defense, was born in a traditional military family, his father and grandfather both participated in the American war, and performed bravely, he was even more successful in the first place when he was young, graduated from the West Point Military Academy with the first honor, and later married the commander's daughter, and was quickly promoted to captain, all the way up the speed is as incredible as a rocket.
When Ross participated in the first war, he had become one of the youngest majors at the time, and as the leader of the battle, he won a great reputation from it, and his brave performance in the first place also made those rumors disappear, and in his long military career, he was deeply appreciated by the hawkish generals of the Ministry of Defense because of his outstanding military achievements and tough attitude, and he rose through the ranks quickly, until he sat in the high position of general.
The black sedan stopped in front of a modern duplex villa, Sean stepped out of the car in formal clothes, it was late evening, the setting sun was sinking into the horizon, the evening was shining on the earth, he stepped forward and rang the doorbell, the servant opened the door, General Ross had been waiting in the study for a long time.
"The military is very satisfied with the energy weapon designed by Ivan Vanke, compared to the power it shows, the cost is not high, and it is strong enough to be easily put into mass production."
General Ross was very pleased with Sean's gift, he had always admired the spirit of action, and he admired this mild-tempered, low-key ally more and more than many of today's young men who could only talk about it and be so ambitious.
At the beginning, the relationship between the two sides took what they needed, but now that they were closer, this young man who was becoming more and more powerful was already qualified to be on an equal footing with him, so General Ross wanted to make the connection between them go one step further.
"Technology changes lives." Sean said something similar to an advertising slogan, "The future will be better, the world is full of infinite possibilities, and energy weapons can change the form of future warfare, and I am full of confidence in this." ”
General Ross was deeply identified with the young man's words, and he devoted his life to the United States, from a small soldier to the position of lieutenant general of the army, with unimaginable power, and everything he did was for the honor of the soldier himself and his sense of mission to the country.
"Resources and land will always be the eternal theme of human warfare, the old era has passed, a great man said, the world is yours and ours, but after all, it is still yours - Sean, you are like Stark who once rose, and will create a new era." The general patted the young man on the shoulder, his tone full of emotion.
"In the future, we will not only have energy weapons, but we will have more." Sean said seriously.
General Ross nodded, opened a bottle of brandy with great interest, and invited Sean to drink it together, and the presentation meeting of the military council did not have much impact on him, but the plan to capture Hulk was temporarily suspended.
This frustrates Ross, who has an inexplicable obsession with the green beast, but unfortunately the Department of Defense has banned the tracking of Bruce Banner, and he originally wanted to select an elite fighter from the military to fight Hulk by injecting the serum from the failed experiment.
Bronsky, who had performed well in the previous arrest operation, was a good choice, but unfortunately it all became a pipe dream.
"God bless America." The general raised his glass and said.
Sean nodded in agreement, he and General Ross are now inseparable allies, and the ambitious Mr. Vice President, with whom he also has a good personal relationship, with the cooperation of interests, sooner or later weave a complex network, like those deep-rooted large enterprises, with intricate exchanges of interests to protect their own solid position.
"Do you have a favorite girl?" After talking about business, the general began to care about Qiao Sen's private life again, like a gentle and amiable elder.
“…… When I was in high school, I liked a girl in the next class, she was the cheerleader of the school, she was very beautiful and had a hot body, but at that time I often transferred schools, from Los Angeles to New York, and then to Manhattan, and there would be contact at first, and then the relationship slowly faded. ”
Sean was talking nonsense, of course he understood what the general meant, although from the perspective of interest marriage, this was undoubtedly an excellent choice, and the strong combination of himself and the military forces could multiply his influence and power.
But from another point of view, this is also an invisible shackle, Ambrera has since been branded by the military, adding many obstacles and constraints on the way forward, if you compare it in the long run, it is somewhat worth the loss.
"The relationship in youth is always beautiful and short, the road ahead is still very long, and choosing a life partner is also a very important part, which is like choosing a partner, sometimes you have to choose the right person."
The general's words are full of reality and utilitarianism, but this concept is a common perception in the upper class, the story of Cinderella and the prince only appears in fairy tales, and in real life, a marriage with a combination of interests may sometimes be more solid than a momentary passion.
Of course, Sean has always been uninterested in this kind of argument, with his current status, there is no need to force himself to do anything, not to mention that the general is only temporarily appreciative of him, and may not really be willing to marry his baby daughter to a playboy - with his current bedside partner, he can barely get this title.
The general didn't chase after him, he knew that this young man was very assertive and would not be easily swayed by his inner thoughts, and he also believed that Betty would be able to attract Sean's attention, so that his daughter could get rid of Bruce Banner, the dangerous person, and the connection between the Ross family and Sean would be closer, no longer just an alliance between interests.
"I'm going to have a family dinner tomorrow, so if you have time, you can come and attend." Rose smiled, "By the way, you shouldn't have met my daughter yet, Betty, she is my little angel, I will introduce you to you when the time comes, I believe there will be more topics among you young people." ”
Sean smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, but felt a little strange in his heart, what was the sense of déjà vu that was inexplicably pulled away on a blind date?
I can't help but think of a certain prince of Asgard being smashed by the Hulk as a punching bag......
"Dr. Banner, I was forced." The young man said silently. ()
