Chapter 264: International Allies
"Just now, this high-profile hearing unfolded a shocking scene:"
"The street shootout that took place in New York City was confirmed to have been orchestrated by CIA Deputy Director William Rollins, who targeted a highly decorated former Marine Corps captain."
"Both sides are at loggerheads and have been implicated in a case that could lead to a humanitarian crisis, involving the CIA and the Berry Nation military hierarchy."
"At the same time, Mr. Lille Lee confirmed at the hearing that the high-tech modifiers that appeared that day were stolen from the hands of an employee: Michael Collins, CEO of Cyber Technology, Harlan Reich."
Mr. Lee also said he opposes prioritizing the use of high-tech equipment and state resources in the war effort, and hopes that Congress will devote more attention to improving people's living conditions.
"His statement has caused great controversy, and a large number of supporters and opponents have appeared on the network."
It's been a long time since something so unruly has caught both parties off guard.
Everyone thinks that the new player is just a little better, but he is still a player.
As a result, the first time they landed, they smashed a crack in the chessboard.
The governor shook hands with Lille and smiled reluctantly.
The two faced the media and took a friendly group photo.
"You know what, you made me a big mess." The governor said with a smile.
"To do this is to learn to be humiliated."
At the end of the photo session, the two faced each other and shook hands and smiled at each other.
The governor said: "It's a bold move, but it won't suffer a second loss, I kind of regret teaching you this." β
Lille hugged him more kindly, patting him on the back: "Most people need to be taught, but there are always people who are different from most people. β
The two turned to the media again, and the governor smiled at the camera and said, "Crazy." β
"I'm just being honest."
The same words came out of Lille's mouth again, but with a different meaning.
The young man who took the picture waved happily: "Hey, governor, will you say a few words?" β
"Me"
The governor paused at the beginning, and secretly said in his heart that it wouldn't be a big deal to see the excitement, right? Won't you look at the atmosphere?
Well, the atmosphere is indeed quite harmonious, and on the bright side, they didn't lose in the opposition either.
After all, they are doves β doves when they are in the wild.
Thinking about it, now they are tied to this position, and they can't even have any opinion about Lille on the surface.
Lille smiled and patted the governor: "Then the rest of the time will be handed over to you, I won't steal your limelight, happy cooperation." β
The governor's smile stiffened: "You kid, you're really not a person.
When I think of the agreements and concessions they have made with Lille's companies, they have been given away for nothing!
So he suddenly tugged at Lille's sleeve slightly, looking like two old friends had made an appointment to meet next time before leaving.
"Don't forget that this is Berry Country, you can't be like this forever."
Lille also turned around in a friendly way: "Don't forget that this is the earth. β
He leaned sideways to get out of the way, and the governor could see several cars parked in the street in the distance.
And there were representatives of other countries on the car.
Lille has been very busy today.
The governor smiled and pointed at Lille, then shrugged his shoulders and patted him on the shoulder, returning to his own stage.
It's like an old friend who makes an appointment to eat but learns that the other party is busy and doesn't have time.
The governor is back in front of the media - don't bother with this, the speech on this occasion is very important.
You can't afford to lose sight of one or the other.
However, as he spoke, he kept glancing in the direction of Lille
Also watching Lille leave was Tony, who had just given a passionate speech, standing in the middle of the media, and then the height of the stairs over the long guns and cannons below, watching Lille get into the car.
His wandering mind is seen by Clungo, who blocks out the media and clears a path for Tony.
Tony tapped on his mobile terminal as he walkedβ
"Jarvis, is it getting better?"
"I still feel weird, and it will take some time to fully fix it."
"Weird? You're using words more and more like people now. β
"Really? I don't feel it, probably because I'm not human. β
Tony tapped on the terminal panel.
The day's network turmoil also took a toll on Jarvis, but some of the data collected from Jarvis during the day was intriguing
There is a program logic in this world that he can't read.
Isn't that really gibberish?
Jarvis said, "Sir, your friends would like to arrange a club meeting. β
"Then schedule a time."
Tony got into the car, but Jarvis suddenly asked a question: "Sir, do you think that war is the key to solving the problem?" β
"Of course, when we get rid of those fanatics who don't deserve resources, our world will be a lot better.
But this kid is right, there are always people who plan to take advantage of this opportunity to get something, and in a sense, that kid can be regarded as a favor for us.
I guess I should pay attention to these guys' little moves sometimes. β
"I seeβI thought I might be able to devote myself to something similar."
"Tell me about it."
"Investing in more intelligent mechanical units can greatly curb corruption and improve the efficiency of warfare."
"Well, let's put in a bunch of 'Jarvis Death Squads' β good ideas, but unfortunately we don't have that much energy."
"Remember your father's technology to power the Hydra Stomper during World War II?"
"Vibranium?"
Jarvis' proposal got Tony in thought, and Kermanger, as the driver, had a subtle surprise in his eyes.
The network fluctuations of the past few days broke down the equipment used to monitor Tony and his artificial intelligence, and now he has to listen in humans.
This is important news: Tony intends to develop new technologies for use in the war effort.
But he decided to keep it a secret.
The car started slowly, and everyone had a ghost in their hearts-
Only Tony threw himself into the idea of Jarvis, a high-level war.
On Lille's side, many people approached him for his performance at the hearing, just as he thought:
Although his actions have made the parties in the Berry Country very hostile to him, the corresponding forces outside the Berry Country will be willing to contact him.
For no other reason, in these turbulent times, people are looking for their way, and advanced technology is always preferred.
Europe is an equally large market, and the first contact with Lille was a great deal of goodwill, taking turns to meet with diplomats from various countries.
It was only the first contact, and Lille just left the phone number from all sides and understood the attitude of the other party.
After the talks on the European side, Lille chose to hold a detailed meeting with the representative of a country that the outside world did not expect.
Wakanda.
The meeting took place at the embassy in Wakanda, where the dΓ©cor was very modern, with King T'Chaka sitting on a chair and pouring Lille a cup of African tea.
The old king, who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, looked very good-looking, and his eyes were deep, but the worry and respect revealed in his eyes were real.
This made Lille a little puzzled: the king of T'Chaca was relatively stable, but. It's not his turn to respect himself, right?
Look at T'Challa's son behind T'Chaca. It's pretty regular, too.
Here's the strange thing: how did this T'Challa not show the arrogance of looking down on the Berry Country hillbilly?
Before the serious conversation, Lille also collected a lot of information about Wakanda.
After sifting through a large amount of data, Lille was able to determine that Wakanda was the largest agricultural country in Africa, and that it had a strong presence and was actively leading the establishment of the African Union.
The countries around Wakanda have largely stabilized under the leadership of King T'Chaca, although they are all agrarian.
But their agriculture is highly profitable, and surveys have shown that these lands are naturally incredibly fertile and can be cultivated repeatedly without the need for chemical fertilizers -
This subverts the perception of the outside world.
Extremely lucrative agriculture is very counterintuitive, and even more counterintuitively, they are still an agricultural country with such a fertile soil, and their development is widely hindered.
Because of this is the main threat to the African Union. It turned out to be a warlord.
This Wakanda seems to be different, as if it were a real agricultural country.
As soon as T'Chaka spoke, he said: "Mr. Lee, if you are willing to move your property to Wakanda, we are willing to provide you with a separate tax policy, and the African Union will give priority to your company's products. β
Lille was stunned: "Separate tax policy? β
He was a little suspicious of his ears.
T'Chaka continued: "Yes, we only charge a flat 10% income tax, and we are willing to offer you land for industrial use at a very low price.
The only requirement is that we expect you to sell the product at the regular price. β
His posture was low, and so low that Liel began to doubt one fact:
There is no vibranium in Wakanda here, only fertile land beyond common sense.
"That's really. Can you tell us why? Sorry, I probably don't know much about you. β
