After dealing with the matter at hand, Sean drove towards Washington, D.C., and in addition to the secretary Yuriko, he also took the unruly Ivan Vanko, the Russian big man since the last time he saw the sentry, his ferocity has subsided a little, and he is no longer full of pride as before.

Geniuses with outstanding talents are often the same creatures, and they have irrefutable pride and self-confidence in the field they are good at, which is the superiority of ordinary people from the level of wisdom and knowledge, whether it is the gentle Reed or the narcissistic and arrogant Stark.

And Ivan, who regards Tony Stark as a lifelong rival and family rival, is naturally no exception, in the original timeline, Justin Hammer tried all kinds of means to win over, but did not convince or buy this Russian man, but was put on a side by the other party, and unfortunately went to prison.

The common problem of geniuses is that they despise or ignore the unlearned, and idiots like Hammer will certainly not be taken seriously by Ivan.

But Sean is different, he is not a powerful person who does not listen to opinions - although Ivan senses that the other party has a hidden desire to control, but the control is very good, there is no obvious manifestation, and the strong background and unfathomable power make the Russian man stay in Ambrera with peace of mind, giving up his original careful thinking.

As the car drove slowly, Sean inadvertently saw a sporadic crowd gathered outside Ambrera's door, waving signs or shouting slogans, but no one paid attention to them, and the dedicated security guards would turn them away.

After the disappearance of Congressman Kelly, the anti-mutant pioneer, the heated public opinion about mutants has gradually faded over time, and not long ago, Mr. Vice President brought up the old matter again and made a public speech on the "Mutant Registration Act", but this time the position and wind direction are completely different.

Vice President Underwood, a veteran politician with great skill and ambition, perfectly demonstrated his personal charm, and with a short and powerful speech, he spoke out for justice against the unfair treatment of mutants, and his incendiary and infectious speech touched many citizens present.

However, Sean was still in New Mexico at that time, so he did not have the opportunity to appreciate the charming demeanor of the vice president, according to the plan prepared in advance, Ambrera and Osborne Industries jointly issued a statement, expressing sympathy for the plight of mutants, and advocating the need for mutant registration laws, and announced that they would openly recruit mutant employees, who could enjoy the same salary and various rights as ordinary people.

After a series of tricks, mutants once again detonated the upsurge of public opinion, but compared with the previous verbal and written criticism, this time the tone was reversed, and a vote of experts stood up to speak, popularizing the concept of mutants in detail, telling the general public that this is not an incurable disease, or a curse from God.

Ambrera has always had a good reputation, and because of its focus on the biomedical market, the Metis Potion for curing brain degeneration and the Chris Potion for the regeneration of severed limbs, both of which have received enthusiastic market responses, and the latter has also won many orders from the military.

However, recently, many anti-mutant groups have organized demonstrations at the door, trying to prevent mutant employees from joining, and these sporadic attacks have had little impact on Ambrera.

"This is your chance to revive your family's glory, Ivan."

Sean, who was sitting in the car, looked at the Russian man in a formal suit, even in a suit and leather shoes, who was more like his bodyguard than the title of weapon manufacturing expert.

"Prove to the Pentagon generals that Ivan Vanco is no worse than Tony Stark." Like a fisherman throwing bait, he said slowly: "Tony can make the Ark Reactor, you can also copy it, he can be transformed into Iron Man, so you have to make those fancy steel armors as well." ”

"So I'm going to be like a monkey and let the big guys pick and choose?" Ivan's face was pale, he didn't like these twists and turns, and he appreciated the simple and rough style of doing things.

Sean sneered, he squinted at the Russian big man and said: "Tony's father is Howard Stark, the founder of a military-industrial empire, participated in the Manhattan Project, once worked with Oppenheimer, and is also a veteran of S.H.I.E.L.D., with the full support of the military, deep connections, and strong foundations. ”

"Tell me, Mr. Ivan Vanke, do you have any outstanding results? My father was deported to China for espionage, and you spent fifteen years in prison, and then how am I going to convince those military bigwigs that they are not standing in front of a dangerous person with a criminal record, but a gifted weapons manufacturing expert? ”

Sean waved his hand to stop Ivan's rebuttal, his gentle tone was sharp, the invisible majesty emanated, and the fierce and wild Russian man gradually lowered his head.

"Geniuses also need people who are appreciative. Ivan, the Stark family is already a towering tree, and you are just starting out, if you want to get the attention of others, you must not only come up with decent things, but also learn to deal with that group of big people. ”

Looking at the Russian man whose momentum was dispelled, a smile appeared on the corner of Sean's mouth, and his tone turned soft, "The steel armor may be a little flashy, but it can make the Ministry of Defense feel satisfied, do a good job of face engineering, and establish a strong image of the government, which is enough." ”

"If you want to beat your opponent in a fair match, you first have to be on an equal footing with him." He patted Ivan on the shoulder and admonished him in a friendly manner.

As the car drove into Arlington on the banks of the Potomac River, the country's highest military command was in sight, and because of its special function, the pentagonal building was often seen as a symbol of the military might of the United States, and in the sixties it was the center of the anti-Vietnam War wave.

Sean did not immediately make contact with the personnel of the Department of Defense, but first met with General Ross in the "Hall of Heroes" in the corridor on the third floor, which is the office of the Secretary of Defense and the War Department, and ordinary people can't even enter the door.

The so-called "Hall of Heroes" is set up to commemorate the recipients of the "Highest Medal of Honor" since the Revolutionary War, Sean took the obedient Ivan, looking around, there are more than 3,000 bronze medals here, engraved with the names, origins and resumes of various military meritorious people, and the surrounding memorial corridors are also Marshall, Eisenhower and MacArthur The various deeds of the three marshals.

General Ross was late, and the old man said with a little apology: "There was an accident, so I shouldn't have kept you waiting." ”

Sean shook his head and smiled faintly, he and General Ross initially tied up because of interests, and then as this relationship became closer, the two sides have unknowingly become inseparable allies.

"We've found Banner in Brazil, and after this energy weapons workshop, I'm going to send troops to capture him." General Ross did not hide it and directly stated the reason.

"I've mobilized an elite army, and I'm definitely going to be able to bring that big guy back!" The old man was full of confidence, and he insisted that every cell in Banner's body belonged to the military. "If you have your energy weapon, maybe the odds of success will be greater."

Sean saw that General Ross was in some kind of euphoria, and the Hulk was almost about to become his stubbornness, and silently sympathized with Dr. Banner for a second, being targeted by his future father-in-law, and the other party was still a powerful general, this feeling must not be very pleasant.

"I wish you success." The young man said softly.

The two stood under a portrait of Douglas MacArthur, and General Ross habitually pulled out his cigar but put it away at once, and he had great respect for his late predecessors.

The old man looked at MacArthur's glorious deeds, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of nostalgia, the legendary general who was the most decorated and the only person in the United States to have participated in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, and was also the youngest brigadier general and the president of the West Point Military Academy, as well as the chief of staff of the Army, and was called "a veteran of the generation" by countless people.

The veteran never dies, but only withers, as in MacArthur's famous speech.

It can be said that every military man dreams of becoming such a legend.

"I will show them that this country does not need superheroes in fancy costumes, and we can keep the country and its people safe." General Ross cut through the railroad.

Sean nodded, his eyes flashing with a dim light, if he didn't let this general fail on the Hulk once, where would the other party cherish his friendship.

He was quite looking forward to meeting the big green ** hand full of anger.

Sentinel vs. Hulk, a great show.
