Chapter 237: Acquisition of Stark Industries
S.H.I.E.L.D. does have a lot of power, and there are times when it takes what is necessary.
But it also depends on who you meet, this is the territory of the United States, S.H.I.E.L.D. is an outsider to put it bluntly, and it is enough to fool the heads of some small countries, but for the real real power, even if they are slapped twice in the face, the people of S.H.I.E.L.D. dare not react.
Karn didn't know what the S.H.I.E.L.D. people were crazy about, but if S.H.I.E.L.D. really dared to attack him and Betty, then Ross would really send out the air force and army units to seal the S.H.I.E.L.D. people in New York State.
The next step is to put S.H.I.E.L.D. under control by prying into the military's secrets, then restrict its rights, and finally deport or arrest it.
Agent Hill didn't think about the consequences, they probably ignored Betty as the intermediary liaison for the military's Super Soldier program, and if it weren't for the Super Soldier of Ambrera Military Security Company by his side, the military would have sent someone to protect him.
"What are those S.H.I.E.L.D. BASTARDS GOING TO DO? They dare to make a move against you, and I think they have forgotten who is in charge of America."
While bringing the crappy dishes he made to the table, Rose scolded and said to S.H.I.E.L.D. that he had already made up his mind, and he would go talk to his old friend tomorrow and give this Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau a little good-looking.
Karn frowned slightly and fiddled with the roasted mutated bass as he explained, "They may have been summoned to the wall because of Tony Stark's kidnapping, but S.H.I.E.L.D. is indeed a bit arrogant, how can they be more arrogant than me..."
"Tony Stark has been kidnapped. There are also a lot of people in the military who pay attention to him, but more people hate this guy, he closed the weapons department after the last order, what does he think the military is?"
General Ross's words were full of dissatisfaction with Tony Stark, when did these arms companies dare to turn against the customer, start with arms orders, and now they are pretending to be pacifists and bite back.
"But there are some people who are close friends with him who are also tracking the kidnappers, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"
Hearing Rose's words, Betty lowered her head and cut the sea bass, but she didn't even put the sauce; Karn spoke, "How could we do such a kidnapping, we don't have that time."
Rose twitched his beard when he heard this: "Sure enough, you guys forget it, let those two people pay attention, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence capabilities are still very troublesome, and if they track down something, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
Karn snorted and said, "Tell me something else, are you going to run for president?"
Ross sighed and said, "If you have this plan, if you are vice president, it is absolutely fine, but I am still a little uncertain about running for president, so I want to hear your opinions."
"What are you missing? Money or votes? Betty can do that, and if it's the support of the councillors, it's not a problem."
Rose glanced at Karn and said, "That's enough, what more could you want to run for president, and if you're willing to help, I'll at least be easier than the half-black one."
Karn said directly: "Then let Betty help you, with the Pent Group, you don't need to worry about money, unless your opponent has the Fed behind him."
Biopharma companies, orders for new weapons, and more recently, the Desperate Virus and recent civilian negotiations for new energy sources make these projects a cash-sucking weapon even if Karn doesn't collect money from other worlds.
In addition to political money, the Red Queen can also manipulate Internet public opinion to a certain extent, which is the biggest help to Ross, and parliamentarians and political money are secondary.
During dinner, Ross said a few things about running for president, and with the strong support of the Penta group, his odds were quite good.
"What the hell do you want to do? I can't remember exactly what happened ten years ago, and why not go to someone who used weapons, but a weapons manufacturer? If so, I suggest you go to the raw material supplier further upstream to get revenge."
Tony Stark feels like he's going crazy, has he been so unlucky lately, he just escaped from the Ten Rings Gang, and now he has been captured by two superpowers.
"I've done more charity than you think."
"But you didn't save Sokovia, and you gave the rebels there a powerful weapon!
I hope you will apologize and repent for your previous hypocrisy, the weapons produced by Stark Industries have only brought war and chaos and no peace; What you say on press TV is disgusting, it wasn't you who brought peace, and it can't be you!"
Pyro said with a very indifferent attitude, the childhood days were too impressive for them, and the three words Stark hung around his and Wanda's necks like the scythe of death.
What disgusted Pietro the most was that Stark Industries was an arms dealer, and their existence did not benefit world peace at all; Tony Stark, on the other hand, has always claimed that his invention has brought peace to the world, but the fact is that most of the weapons used by people in war-torn areas are Stark Industries.
Instead of bringing peace, Stark brought nightmares and uneasiness to their siblings.
"Also, the people who started the war are dead, but you didn't pay for your hypocrisy."
Pietro and Wanda have no intention of killing, their biggest thought is to tear off the false cloak of peace on Tony Stark's body before, and then teach him a lesson.
Tony Stark was speechless and asked again, "Just repent?" You're going to let me go?"
"Yes, we don't kill people, but it's okay for you to experience what it was like to be a child."
Their hatred is not so easy to forget, but it is over, and Pietro and Wanda are not reconciled.
At that time, the sale of weapons to the Sokovia rebel army was definitely approved by Tony Stark, and any flow of weapons required his nod, Obadiah would only secretly sell weapons to those organizations that were beneficial to him, and the Sokowia rebel army was obviously not in Obadia's consideration.
In order to go back early, Tony Stark only had to agree to Pietro's request: "Okay, as you wish, I will repent and admit my mistake now, do I need to go to church?"
Tony Stark didn't have a way to save himself, these two people were not the same as those idiots of the Ten Rings Gang, the two superpowers controlled him to death, and they didn't want to get any benefit from him.
Tony Stark didn't recognize the material of the streamlined suit alone.
He had nothing to do but agree to the other party's request.
While Tony Stark was in custody, Obadiah was also released by S.H.I.E.L.D.
In addition to the lack of any evidence, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operations in the United States were also warned, and Pierce took Nick Fury with him, and was reprimanded by the council members for an hour, and finally Agent Hill and another agent who brought back to Obadiah were demoted by two levels.
And S.H.I.E.L.D. has to deal with unlimited accusations from Obadia's lawyer team, and although they don't have to care too much, the ongoing lawsuit will discredit S.H.I.E.L.D., and they will have to get Obadiah's forgiveness.
"Potts, I remember that the board of directors did not give you full authority to handle the affairs of the company, you can temporarily exercise the powers of Tony Stark, but you are not qualified to object to things that have been approved by the board of directors!"
Not long after Obadiah returned, he brought some of the directors to Pepper's office and gave her a final notice.
"In a week's time, we'll be resuming the Penta Group's plan to buy Stark Industries, and this time you won't have a help, Potts."
Pepperpots said angrily in his heart, "You hurt Tony, Obadiah, you have worked with him for more than ten years."
"This has nothing to do with me, you think I can buy two superhumans? Potts, your claim is useless, the directors will tell the truth from the false."
Obadiah said confidently, if it was said that the last thing about the Ten Rings Gang, it was indeed what he did, but this time it had nothing to do with him, and he dared to say so on the lie detector.
"You"
"Finally, sit in the position of assistant to the chairman, and there will be no chance in the future."
With that, Obadiah and the other directors left the place, and although the acquisition could only be proposed at a formal board meeting, they had already discussed many things beforehand, and they had also discussed two things with Laura, the CEO of the Penta Group
Times.
Even if Tony Stark returned, it would be impossible to stop the acquisition.
A month later, the acquisition plan inadvertently spread, which directly caused a lot of shock in the United States, and some people said that the Pentt Group was taking advantage of the fire to rob, but soon quarreled with another group of people.
However, the noise of these people did not affect the acquisition of Stark Industries by the Penta Group, and the board of directors of Stark Industries first relieved Tony Stark of all powers, and then chose Obadiah to become the new helm of Stark Industries, so that the acquisition could proceed steadily.
And at this time, there was a live video about Tony Stark on the Internet, about his admission of the harm he caused to Sokovia in the first place.
After this video spread, there was a lot more condemnation of Tony Stark, and the anti-war voice was still loud, which is why Stark Industries used to sell a large number of arms, and Tony still used peace as an excuse.
However, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been waiting for this signal, and as soon as the video appeared, S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians teamed up with Jarvis to search the global network, and finally tracked down the source of the signal in Pennsylvania.
S.H.I.E.L.D. contacted the Air Force, and immediately dispatched fighters to find Tony Stark at the source of the signal.
Luckily for them this time, Pietro and Wanda felt that their goal had been achieved, so they let Tony Stark go, but Pietro kicked Tony Stark before leaving.
After being freed, Tony Stark didn't wait long to see the fighters of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the American Air Force, and the people who came were all acquaintances he knew, Rhodes and Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. bureau.
Tony Stark tossed the cross aside and said with some pity, "Thank you, Lord, but if you had come a minute earlier, you would have met those two guys."
