Chapter 82: Recent Changes
The plan to find a few brains for the symbiote to eat was ultimately unsuccessful, because Schiller found that the symbiote was not only hungry and aggressive, but also extremely picky about its tastes.
"What do you think of him? I dare say he has a dozen lives on his hands, this gangster ......"
"No, his brain is not fragrant enough, I don't eat it."
"So how about him, let me see, a litigator who defends a serial murderer should be a smart person, right?"
"He's not tasty, it's not to my taste."
"What about this? I've heard that he once robbed the largest silver ...... in Manhattan."
"It's definitely bitter."
In the end, Schiller, who had nothing to do but return to the psychological clinic, quarreled with the symbiote in his own mind: "Why are you such a picky eater? Can't you just just do it? Why can't you just eat the brains of a few ordinary criminals? ”
"Then why don't you drink Americano?"
Schiller opened his mouth, a little unsure of how to refute, this symbiote is really getting smarter.
"Okay, but you've got to tell me where you want to go for the espresso you want, right?"

As soon as Schiller finished asking this sentence in his head, there was a knock on the door of the clinic, and Steve, who had just finished running in the morning, walked in, and the symbiote said happily, "...... Here comes the espresso. ”
And following Captain America was Natasha, and before Schiller could speak, a yellow figure flew over, and Natasha threw Pikachu into Schiller's arms, she said, "First of all! S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have a pet boarding service! ”
"But the contract ......"
"We just changed the contract, rats are not allowed to be boarded!"
"You're discriminating, dogs and cats are fine, why can't mice?"
"That's right!" Pikachu crossed his arms and said, "Why can't the mouse?" ”
"Shut up!" Several others said together.
"Now dogs and cats are not going to do it, we have eliminated this employee benefit, and everyone is raising their hands in favor."
"I just put it there for a few days......"
"A few days??? How many more days do you want to leave it on ??? Coulson changed 6 mobile phones in 7 days, Nick Fury used up his annual leave on the spot and hid, the leaders of the United Nations who came to inspect left in a hurry without staying for two days, and even the lieutenant general of the army, who was most willing to make things difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D., bought an economy class ticket overnight at his own expense and left......"
Natasha crossed her waist at the door, and the female agent was obviously angry, saying, "The only good news is that the things he broke and the mental damage of the employees could give Nick another 50% more reimbursement for next month's statement......"
Schiller looked down at Pikachu and said, "I remember before I left, you promised me that you would stay well......"
He grabbed Pikachu's two little short hands and his wide eyes, Pikachu stared at two dripping black eyes, looking very innocent, and then he wrinkled his nose and jumped onto the couch.
“PIKA——PIKA!”
"You've been away long enough." Steve said as he sat down on the couch.
"So there's anything big going on lately?"
"There are no big things, but there are a bunch of small troubles."
"Oh?" Schiller was washing his cups at the kitchen sink and asked, "What's the trouble?" ”
"Stark and the military completely tore their faces." "He is said to have found conclusive evidence that the military was planning the kidnapping in Afghanistan, although I think it was Obadiah's discord," Natasha said. ”
"You're saying that Obadiah actually orchestrated the case and blamed the military? Doesn't he want Stark Industries to work with the military so much? ”
"Obadiah is like a hen guarding eggs, he doesn't allow anyone to point fingers at Stark Industries, and whoever dares to touch his life's work, he will try to get rid of whom."
"Before Stark was kidnapped, Obadiah had already endured a lot of pressure from the military, the military's appetite was endless, they wanted too much, and even touched the core interests of Stark Industries, Obadiah didn't like them for a day or two."
"It's true that they just buy some ordinary weapons at first, but Stark Industries' weapons are so easy to use, the military wants to get their technology and then produce it themselves, and Obadiah certainly won't allow that to happen."
Natasha also leaned back on the couch, Steve poured her a glass of water, and Natasha said, "Thank you".
Then Steve said, "But I still think it's ridiculous, just to destroy Stark's relationship with the military, he asked terrorists to kidnap Stark?" ”
"Obadiah is very smart, he knows that sooner or later Stark will make amazing technology, and he must give Stark a reason not to compromise with the military, so that half of his life will not be stolen by the military."
"As long as Stark, who has mastered the core technology, will not let go, then at least, the core technology of Stark Industries Group will be preserved."
"But that was at the cost of his nephew's life."
"Obadiah won't care." Natasha lit a cigarette and asked, "Don't mind if I smoke one?" ”
"Please." Schiller said.
Natasha looked at Steve, and Steve said, "I don't smoke, but there are a lot of smokers on the battlefield, and I don't mind." ”
The female agent slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and it seemed that she was also under a lot of pressure, and Stark completely broke up with the military, which was not entirely a good thing for S.H.I.E.L.D.
The current relationship is like this, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military have always been at odds with each other, because of the distribution of military expenses and the outrageous law enforcement power of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The conflict between Stark and S.H.I.E.L.D. is mainly that his father and Stark do not want to be kidnapped by the official organization.
The main contradiction between Stark and the military is the military's overly greedy appetite and Stark's desire to use his inventions in war.
Neither of them wants to see the other two united, because one of them will inevitably have an enemy of its own, and if its power is strengthened, it will certainly not be easy for itself.
But they also don't want two of them to break up completely, because once the two sides break up and start a war on the spot, it must be a third party who comes out to clean up the mess.
Schiller said meaningfully: "Stark and the military turned their faces, I'm afraid it's not just Obadiah's credit behind this, right?" ”
Natasha said: "It's confidential, I don't have the right to ...... Well, it's not a secret, Stark wants to cooperate with the military, medical technology and exoskeletons, but you know, the military doesn't want these things at all, they want bigger weapons, more powerful weapons. ”
"So, S.H.I.E.L.D. used this to sow discord between them?"
Natasha knocked the ash of her cigarette and said, "We just gave a gentle push behind our backs, and more importantly, Obadiah laid the groundwork for a long time." ”
Steve asked with some confusion: "Didn't Stark think that this could be Obadiah's conspiracy?" ”
"He may have thought of it, but he's Tony Stark." Schiller said.
Natasha shook her head and said, "Obadai knows his nephew, if he can blame the military for everything, but can save their uncle and nephew feelings, then Stark will definitely choose to deceive himself and vent his anger on the military." ”
"What's more...... Schiller also poured himself a glass of water and said, "Obadiah is still lying unconscious in the hospital, he has become a victim." ”
"And whoever the victim says is the murderer, who is."
Steve sighed and said, "When Howard founded Stark Industries, he probably didn't expect this day. ”
"Maybe he thought of it, at least he must have thought of it, his genius brain and the technology in his hand will be targeted by people with ulterior motives." Schiller said.
"The current situation is on the verge of breaking out, Stark's attitude is very tough, and he even slapped the table with a group of generals, General Johnson's affairs are exposed, and the military has begun to distrust Hammer Industries, and they are very eager to force Stark to bow his head."
"How do you think this matter will be resolved in the end? By force? Schiller asked Natasha.
The female agent shook her head and said, "They have already done a fight, General Johnson lost, the robot army has no way to take Stark, Stark got a nanomecha technology out of nowhere, if he gives everyone a cigarette, it will be bad." ”
"The military is in a hurry, but they don't dare to do it lightly, and I think they will eventually return to the negotiating table for the exchange of interests."
"There should have been another fight." "The military won't be happy to go to the negotiating table so soon, because they know that if they don't give Stark a hard shot, they don't have any leverage to trade Stark Industries technology," Schiller said. ”
"At least we're allies for the time being." Natasha said, "Stark needs S.H.I.E.L.D. to take some of the pressure on him. ”
"What do you want? His nanomecha technology? ”
"I don't know about this, it depends on what Director Fury means, but S.H.I.E.L.D. takes a different route from the military, even if we get a large number of nanomechas, there are no personnel to arm, agents are not suitable for wearing that thing, maybe Nick has other plans."
"He didn't have the idea of having Stark make armor for the agents?"
Natasha extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "You don't know much about how agents work, in short, the work that needs to be carried out by wearing a mecha, and having an extra set of mechs will not improve the success rate much, and the work that does not need to be carried out by wearing a mecha will not bring any better changes." ”
"Agents aren't superheroes, and most of us still eat on our brains."
"Brains! Dine! The symbiote shouted in Schiller's head.
"So those medical collaborations between Stark and the military have also stalled?" Schiller asked.
"In fact, it didn't start much, Stark did not directly provide technology, but the two of them cooperated in research and development, the military has invited some experts, Stark provided some technical information and financial support, of course, now the cooperation should have been terminated."
"Did you get any results?"
Natasha shook her head and said: "Scientific research is not a master, how can there be any major achievements in such a short period of time?" ”
"If they really could stick together, maybe a lot of the military would benefit from that," Steve said. ”
"It's impossible, before a decision is made, neither side is willing to retreat, they both feel that they can get more benefits, this is just an exchange of interests, not for the real benefit of anyone."
Steve seemed to be in a bad mood, he said: "Actually, I understand the truth, before the real full-scale cooperation, the two sides have to carry out countless temptations until they find each other's bottom line, and then it is possible to establish a cooperative relationship." ”
"But I sometimes think that if we can really use the technology and financial resources where they should be used, we must be able to save a lot more people, and if people think that this kind of waste is necessary, and I don't stop it, then who can sympathize with those who are not saved because these resources are wasted?"
"Captain, I understand that you have a sympathetic heart, but you don't need to take this mistake on yourself." Schiller said,
"I just feel like we can do better, and besides, I always have a bad feeling." Steve pursed his lips and said.
"Those who they think have long been unable to speak out, sooner or later, someone will stand up, and at that time, their way of speaking will not be polite and polite."
