166 The Big Four of the Military Industry

Time flies, and it's February in the blink of an eye.

The cold air front that has been stranded on the east coast for nearly a month has finally dissipated, and the heavy snow is followed by a sunny day, which turns out to be a rare warm winter.

At this time, a month had passed since the Battle of New York.

Life is like weeds, the spring breeze blows, and it struggles to rejuvenate in the barren land.

After months of quarrels and turmoil, the political situation has finally entered a stage of stability again.

Former President R. Burlack was impeached and tried by Congress for authorizing the military to use nuclear weapons in the New York City area during the Battle of New York, killing and injuring countless civilians.

The country was also plunged into terrible turmoil and chatter and quarrels because of this sudden trial. At the end of February, in order to avoid further deterioration of the political situation, President Brak, then 53 years old, could not sleep all night and voluntarily resigned from the post of president of the United States.

Later, according to the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, former Vice President Clinton took over and entered the White House. With President Burak's support, President Clinton quickly reshuffled his cabinet and restored the state apparatus.

The political turmoil also affected the world of the transcendent.

Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., resigned because of the "Helicarrier" incident, and a generation of rising political stars was eclipsed and disappeared from people's field of vision.

This was followed by rumors that a mysterious man had recruited extreme agents with special talents around the world to try to investigate the mysterious truth behind the Battle of New York.

Since most of the agents involved in the program were victims of the "Battle of New York", this alliance was called the "Secret Avengers".

After Nick Fury left office, former deputy director Alexander Pearce took the helm of S.H.I.E.L.D. When Director Pierce took office, he proposed to Congress that the "Insight Project" be launched to avoid a repeat of the tragedy of the Great New York War.

The main reason for the outbreak of the New York War, and the point that Alexander Pierce took the opportunity to attack Nick Fury, that is, after the apostle of the alien civilization Loki came to Earth, humans were completely unable to control Loki's whereabouts, and finally allowed Loki to calmly create a gate of time and space and summon the army of the Zetari civilization.

To that end, S.H.I.E.L.D. asked Congress to activate Project Insight, which would use twelve low-Earth orbit satellites orbiting the Earth to put the world within the satellite's monitoring and attack range.

Once an act endangering national security is discovered, a large number of high-accuracy, high-range sniper weapons equipped with satellites can eliminate all threats to national and human security from a high altitude and protect human security.

After the "Insight Project" was proposed, because of its great idea, it won a lot of support for the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Alexander Pierce.

In contrast to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s "Project Insight", another giant in the world of the Transcendental, Six Gates, has activated the "Blacklist" operation to target the active enemy spies in the country in order to deal with the cold winter wave in the coming years.

Six Doors is the embodiment of Shadow, a lone undercover criminal world, codenamed "Red Devils", a former military intelligence officer and middleman in the crime deal, who has been in ambush for nearly two decades.

According to the intelligence and spy list provided by the "Red Devils", six doors uprooted spies and criminals from all over the country.

With the help of the "blacklist" operation, Six Doors successfully obtained the authority of intelligence resources and national security, and extended the tentacles of power to all corners of national security.

In early March, after joint deliberations between the President's Cabinet and the National Assembly, the National Defense Armaments Program was officially announced.

Through the channel of the head of Six Doors Mora, Matthew witnessed this luxurious and magnificent "National Defense Plan" in advance.

The plan highlights the ambitions of the Ministry of Defense, but also exposes the embarrassment facing the country.

The Ministry of National Defense will use a national defense armaments budget of 500 billion yuan to rebuild the navy, army, and air force forces destroyed in the New York War, and focus on building military bases in the Americas, with a view to rapidly restoring national defense and military strength.

On the day of receiving the news, the lights of the magical industry remained out all night. Early the next morning, Matthew immediately set off and led his team south to Washington.

The military industry is a technology-intensive industry, and there are high technical barriers between industries.

This time, the opponent faced by Magical Industries is not a small fish and shrimp, but a military giant such as Stark Group, General Group, Ambrera Group, and Abstergo Industries Group, which has a hundred years of accumulation.

Although Matthew and Fantastic Industries are ready, they can't be too cautious in the face of these giants.

Matthew and his entourage entered the venue in advance and sat down in a corner. The tactical glasses are equipped with a high-definition image system to quickly capture images of people in the venue.

In the back, in the "Matrix" computer center in the magical industrial center of New York, genius hackers and phantom cats are also busy. According to the image intelligence transmitted from the scene, in the vast Internet, information about competitors is collected.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people in the venue gradually increased, and representatives of nearly 100 military enterprises entered the venue one after another, and nearly 1,000 people sat in the venue in the dark, forming a solemn and noisy atmosphere.

The country has been hit hard by the war and has lost the dividends of military and financial hegemony, and the economic situation is bound to deteriorate further in the next few years.

In the financial winter, this national defense and military plan, which occupies nearly half of the state budget, is like a piece of fat. The ownership of the cake is related to the life and death of countless enterprises and families.

At the front of the venue were the four major military giants of Stark Group, General Motors, Ambrera Group, and Abstergo Industries.

The Big Four are giants in the military industry, occupying the top of the food chain, and their strength is far from estimating.

The magical industry created by grass is just an ant under the majestic Mount Everest mountain range.

The four giants looked at each other vigilantly and politely, for their strength, each other's competitors were only each other.

Around the four military giants, it is the four camps composed of hundreds of research institutes, manufacturing and processing, heavy metals and other enterprises.

The scale of these enterprises is large or small, and they are adsorbed on the four major military giants, as an extension of the industrial chain, providing them with R&D, manufacturing, raw materials, transportation and other businesses.

Matthew focuses on the upstream, midstream and downstream enterprises that make up the industrial chain. They are partners and allies that must be won over for the rise of the miraculous industry.

Representatives of the military-industrial complex from New York also entered the arena one after another, and they sat down around the Stark Group to compete with other giant alliances.

In the past, Stark Group from New York relied on the world's top scientific and technological strength, core energy and precision manufacturing technology, and beat the other three giants, and one alone accounted for nearly 40% of the annual national defense demand.

These enterprises and research institutions, backed by the city dividend of New York, rely on the Stark Group, lay out the upstream, midstream and downstream of the industrial chain, form a close alliance in business, and make a lot of money.

It's just that this year's business representatives in New York have a gloomy face, because there are more than a dozen new faces in the Stark Group's camp.

These new faces from San Francisco sat closely on the Stark Group, leaving the core members of the original camp, business representatives from New York, faintly isolated.

For what happened to them, Matthew watched the fire.

The Zetari army invaded the earth, and New York was the front line of the resistance, and many companies and research institutes were annihilated in the artillery fire. Even the companies that survived, including Stark Group, suffered a devastating blow in their strength.

New York's industrial manufacturing and scientific and technological research and development foundation has been destroyed, and the original core members can no longer support the banner of the Stark camp.

At the moment of life and death, even the deep-pocketed Stark Group must consider costs and profits, as well as its own survival.

Everything in the world is interconnected, checks and balances each other, and keeps the world running. Even if he is as strong as a lion, he has his opponents, and this is not an invincible world.

Previously, it was vaguely rumored in New York that Stark Group would move westward, taking advantage of the manufacturing and mineral advantages of San Francisco, the largest city on the West Coast, to rearrange the military industry to compete with the other three giants.

Now it seems that this rumor is not groundless.

A group of entrepreneurs in New York went south collectively, hoping that the Stark Group could lead everyone to fight again.

However, if the Stark Group moves westward, not only will New York be ruined and lose the opportunity to recover quickly from the war, but the entrepreneurs here will also encounter the crisis of overturning and will inevitably go bankrupt.

Bankruptcy, in the financial winter, represents the destruction of the family!

A group of entrepreneurs in New York also realized this cruel fact, their faces were gloomy and pale, and they fidgeted, but they forced themselves to hold back their indignation and anxiety, and waited for the arrival of Tony Stark, the president of Stark Group.
