Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Things

There is no interest in responding to the pitiful and ridiculous cold jokes, facing the competition of many powerful forces of the same level as Osborne, even with Su Zheng's confidence, he is not completely sure that he will be able to laugh at the end. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

No one spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.

"Okay Sue, don't worry too much," Seeing his ally's silent expression, Norman naturally knew what the other party was worried about, and said with relief: "Something like this has happened twice before. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Su Zheng couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Do you think there are only treasures like blood orchids in the world?" looked at Su Zheng regretfully, and his face mysteriously teased Su Zheng's curious nerves.

"The first time was in South America in 1962," Norman continued, recalling the great crisis that took place that year, "that year the United States almost fought the Soviet Union, and you thought it was because of missiles?" ”

"Is there any inside story?" As the big brother of China at that time, the Soviet Union did not have much time to gain the upper hand in the Cold War with the United States, and the Cuban Missile Crisis was the most typical representative. Now listening to Norman talk about the events of the year, it seems that there are more insiders hidden in it, which completely stimulates Su Zheng's curiosity.

"I was just a student at the time, and I didn't know the details until later." Seeing that Su Zheng loved to listen to it so much, Norman also told Su Zheng the story behind this event that caused a sensation around the world at that time.

As the only two superpowers since the Second World War, the difference in social formation has created a confrontation between the two countries. Because it is located on the other side of the Atlantic, the United States has not been hit too directly at home, but has made a lot of war money through bilateral arms sales. The Soviet Union, as a superpower across the two continents of Europe and Asia, was hit by more than half of the German fascist military force at that time, and the typical Battle of Stalingrad reduced the entire city to ruins. And the addition and subtraction between these have made the gap between the comprehensive strength of the two countries after the war quite large.

At the turn of the autumn and winter of 1961, the Cuban government discovered the remains of an alien spacecraft in the primeval jungle of the country. It was a good time, but the spies who were lurking by Castro's side at the time reported this important discovery to the US government.

Unable to withstand the pressure from the United States, the Cuban government naturally pulled out the Soviet Union behind it. As a result, the secret forces of the two superpowers engaged in a desperate struggle in the Cuban jungle. Relying on the information left behind by Dr. Eggins and its own precision advantages, the United States, which was close to Cuba, had a large advantage in the battle, and most of the ship's remains were also shipped to the United States. Faced with such a result, the Soviet Union, which had superiority in strategic weapons, naturally refused to rest, and thus the Cuban Missile Crisis occurred that shocked the whole world.

"And then?" I didn't expect the story hidden behind history to be so exciting, and Su Zheng, who listened to it with relish, naturally wanted to know the result.

"I didn't know about it later," I didn't expect that even the chairman of Osborne Industries would know about what happened next, and I thought that the U.S. government should have suffered a loss, so I blocked the news from the outside world.

"And what about the second time?" The ending of the tiger and snake tail naturally made Su Zheng very unhappy, but even Norman didn't know the secret, and it was impossible for him to know the answer. Hurriedly asked Norman about the second incident.

Speaking a little dry, Norman, who poured himself a glass of water, got up.

"The second time," Norman didn't have the idea of hiding it from Su Zheng, after all, many people knew about this matter, and as his ally, it was still appropriate to share such a little information: "About the Cosmic Rubik's Cube." ”

Burst......

Suddenly hearing the information of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Su Zheng didn't control his demeanor, and the coffee he had just drunk in his mouth suddenly splashed out.

Looking at Su Zheng, who reacted violently, Norman was a little curious. Few people know about the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and most of the people who know about the Cosmic Cube also know the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube. It's just that the power of the Rubik's Cube is too strong for people to have the idea of stealing.

"It seems that you should know the Cosmic Rubik's Cube," looking at Su Zheng strangely, Norman still said the second thing in his mouth.

The Cuban Missile Crisis ended in such a way that observers around the world could not understand it. Since then, the two countries have immersed themselves in the study of the obtained information and have made every effort to explore and deploy space.

It was not until 1976 that powerful energy fluctuations from the Arctic Ocean were detected by the satellites of several major powers at that time. How could the major powers whose eyes were red with envy for the United States and the Soviet Union to get extraterrestrial technology give up this opportunity. For a time, the area where energy was surging was full of war clouds. In order to alleviate the tension that was on the verge of erupting at that time, the United States and the Soviet Union took the lead in formulating a plan to regulate the behavior of all forces: for the ownerless precious materials and technology, all parties will compete in small teams with a bottom line, the winner will take the spoils, and the loser will not be recovered. And the losses caused in the process of competition shall be paid by themselves.

"And what was the way the competition was there?" Knowing that the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is currently being kept and researched by S.H.I.E.L.D., Su Zheng is naturally not interested in which side wins, but is very interested in how to compete at that time.

"Do you think the competition between nations is more than art or history?" Glancing at Su Zheng with great interest, Norman, who had a more thorough understanding of the essence of the world, naturally understood more than a young man like Su Zheng.

"At that time, it was a comparison between the maximum lethality of conventional weapons and the cost of price."

Although there have been some speculations, it is clear that there is no such thing as a cost-effective conventional weapon.

"The United States and the Soviet Union, which have obtained extraterrestrial technology, are obviously a notch higher in technology and cost-effective than other powers," seems to be a little proud of their country's victory, but Norman is still full of unhappiness when he thinks of the biggest contributor to that incident.

The Soviet Union was worthy of the madman who believed in the idea of Big Ivan, and threw American equipment out of the country with conventional weapons completely regardless of the cost.

In the end, it was Howard. Stark improved some settings on the spot and increased the accuracy of his weapons, narrowly beating the Soviets.

And the United States did not dare to swagger into the pocket of the Rubik's Cube of the universe. Stark sent the Cosmic Cube to the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, an international organization with a strong American background.

After all, it happened decades ago. And the result is also something that I have already accepted. In Su Zheng's opinion, he heard two interesting stories, but Su Zheng still understood what Norman meant: "You mean, we also compete together through the squad mode to compete for the Blood Orchid?" ”

"It must be so," he had been prepared for, Norman. Osborne answered Su Zheng's question with certainty, "However, the scale should not be large, after all, it is just a blood orchid." And organizations like the military should not be involved, they just need to sit back and reap the results. ”

"Hmm~ I see." Su Zheng nodded and asked Norman: "Then you go and inquire, which force will be the referee this time, well, the referee." ”

"Okay."

"Also, go and find out which forces will participate, and the intelligence and everything is ready."

"Got it!"

……

Seeing Penny waiting for him to have lunch together, Su Zheng quickly restrained his worried look.

"Dear Penny baby," the mouthful of someone couldn't help but want to tease the girl next to him, "missed me?"

Losing a roll of her eyes, Pennico didn't want to pay attention to the unserious look, "Go out early in the morning!" ”

"It's not like you're still sleeping, I'm in a bit of a hurry and I'll go to the company first."

"What's the urgency?" It's a little strange that there is any urgency to find this guy who is not doing his job, "Will he look for you?" ”

"Specially hired security consultant," feeling underestimated by the girl, he had to say well: "Specially hired, understand?" Distinguished! ……”

"Well, Mr. Dear Security Adviser," said the word "Special," and "what do you need to do?" ”

I don't want Penny to worry, but this time I went to Borneo to find Blood Orchid, and it can't be solved in a day or two. It's obviously impossible to completely hide from a smart girl.

"It can take days to go to Asia with scientists from my good company to find a precious medicinal herb. Of course, if it goes well, it's also very fast. ”

"Where in Asia? Is it dangerous? “

"You have to believe in the strength of your man, of course there is no danger, uh~ there is no danger," Su Zheng was a little uneasy by the girl's blazing gaze, and his voice gradually lowered.

"The jungle of Indonesia," finally found out that he had been killed by Pennic, as long as he answered obediently, but what should be concealed still had to be concealed: "There are locals as tour guides, and I only ensure the safety of a few scientists in the company." ”

"You have to believe me, how powerful your father is, it's not that I've been down, hehe..." Su Zheng, who really had nothing to say, finally picked up his future father-in-law's troubles to compare.

Naked looking for death.

"Die!"

Really!
