Cemetery, where the remains of Eric Stevenson are buried.

"That fuel isn't enough," Tony said in a deep voice like a beast as he stared at the coffin being buried.

Eric was his savior and his good brother to him, but he was killed in Somalia by those traitors for no apparent reason!

Dario, who had just been promoted to CEO of Roxon Energy Group, pretended to pat him on the shoulder with a sentimental gesture.

"He was a good soldier and made his last contribution to the country."

Tony looked up at Dario, "That fuel is powerful, but the energy density is still not enough. ”

"Do you have a better one?" The latter raised a frown.

"I can try, but I need to get a closer look at vibranium."

"This." Dario frowned, "But the Berry Country Mansion has already designated the Atlas Group to break its name and designate that company to carry out the salvage." ”

"Then we'll snatch it from them."

Tony said this decisively and simply: "To be precise, they are traitors, they attack our own warships, our own soldiers.

Since they have opened a company in Africa, we will intercept them in Africa, and I will put the steel soldiers into production.

I'm in charge of the war in Africa, and vibranium is a Berry Country asset, and I'll take it back. ”

A councillor in the distance was stunned when he heard this, and Dario was secretly happy in his heart.

This effect is even better than the education of Hydra!

The "information cocoon" is a large-scale information control technology proposed by Zola, which subtly reinforces some of his ideas by placing suitable advertisements on designated people through their absolute superiority in the online world.

People judge people by good and bad people, but in front of society, the boundaries are blurred.

A man who wants to give his family a good life can be a good father and husband.

But if, through information control, he thinks that the only way to achieve his goal is to get rid of the oil guys in the Middle East, he will become a fanatical warmaker.

To his family, he may still be considered a good person, but not to other families.

Information asymmetry is the rationale that underpins this technology.

With Tony Stark, Zola had tailored control as they discovered Jarvis, Stark's good butler.

A paranoid person, an arrogant person, and a person who believes in his own AI, Zora uses his powerful computing power and technology to lock down Jarvis, and through this AI, he even achieves more powerful control than ordinary people.

With Zola shutting down, this control also disappeared, and Hydra raised his warning to Tony as a result, but he didn't expect Tony to become more extreme under several operations by Dario!

You know, until then, Tony still had minor concerns about all-out war.

"Good!" Dario patted Tony on the shoulder again, "Actually, we've just finished refining the fuel again, and I'm going to prioritize the supply to Stark Industries."

I'm going to arrange for the company to produce another batch now."

It's a coincidence that it can explain a little bit why the production is being reduced.

The production capacity is put into the purification of ultra-high-energy fuels.

Complete more than 80% monopoly on all aspects of the industry of petroleum products!

This figure is a bit outrageous, but if you exclude the Middle East countries that are being hit hard, as well as their friends next door, and Africa, which is not capable of large-scale oil extraction, Roxxon can be said to have a monopoly on the energy of the entire Berry Country camp!

Its CEO only needs to move his fingers and be a little capricious when it comes to oil production capacity.

This is a devastating blow to society, and monopolizing oil is kidnapping modern society!

It is the most important thing to act as oil, but oil is also an important industrial raw material.

For example, not to mention the equipment that drives production, a large number of high-end materials such as bioplastics and nanotubes used by International Genetic Cooperative are based on petroleum.

Some of the raw material companies don't produce it themselves, but the companies that produce them also raise their costs as the price of oil soars, and the impact is reflected in all aspects of society.

When a loaf of bread costs thousands of dollars to buy, war is inevitable.

And monopolies can easily do this, control oil, and even more easily control the price of almost all daily necessities -

This argument is conservative, because in modern society, even agriculture is based on industry.

The production of chemical fertilizers, the raw materials needed for synthetic fertilizers, and the drive of agricultural machinery and implements all require a large amount of energy as a basis.

Times Square is all about what may be the biggest company of the 21st century, but Lille just thinks .

Having monopolized the oil market in the berry country, the next step, of course, is to continue to deal with those disobedient oil guys.

The storm is coming.

Hell's Kitchen, where Lee's Financial Group recently built a new facility for the benefit of the people.

The slums were integrated into the newly built apartment complexes, while the former slums and dumps were integrated into parks.

"New York Workers' Rally Park" is a large-scale community activity center that includes multiple functions such as a pet park and a sports activity center.

There's a talk going on here, and the person on stage is none other than Anthony, a former neighbor of Lille.

The New York mayoral election is coming to an end, and he is now a powerful candidate.

Who would have thought that more than half a year ago he was still scratching his scalp for a manual job, and who would have thought that the audience around him would even start to think about mixing with the gangsters at that time.

Maya also sat around the podium, which was full of her former neighbors and friends who had helped their family.

Although many people have moved to their new jobs, they still gather here in their spare time.

Lille sat in a chair farther away, and behind him sat a white male.

"Now I know why you're running away from Africa, but they won't give up Carter and the shield, and they won't let you go."

Although the person who spoke was a white man, he spoke with a black accent as soon as he spoke.

The man sat in a chair and wore a low-key overalls, looking like the workers who have been everywhere in Hell's Kitchen lately.

But in reality, he is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury.

"I know."

Roxxon was established, and what happened during this time, Carter arrived, the shield disappeared, and Lille's side had a small advantage.

However, their CEO has clearly achieved his own key goals, and Lille has no means or energy to find an entry point to interfere in this.

It's just that Lille is not only deployed in Africa, but another place is poor and remote, and there are few bets, and no one notices it under the interference of many events.

A big golden retriever was running wild in the grass, followed by a little girl, a man and a dog, perhaps too much to notice that they were running towards Lille.

When he reached Lille, the big dog hurriedly stopped, looked at Lille, lowered his head and sniffed at him.

"Bobby! Wait for me. You can't run around! ”

The little girl, who looked to be only five or six years old, and whose face was still a little baby fat, angrily hugged the big golden retriever and slapped it on the head.

The big dog lowered his head aggrievedly and whimpered and circled behind the girl.

After teaching her dog a lesson, the little girl timidly bowed to Lille and apologized: "Sorry, sir, I didn't mean to let Bobby run away. ”

Lille smiled and scratched the big dog's head: "Not a big deal, what's your name?" ”

"Emma." After the little girl finished speaking, she suddenly stared at Lille with sparkling eyes, "You are. Lille Lee! ”

"You know me?"

Emma nodded: "I know you, this big park is built by you, can you build a big children's slide in the park?" So I can"

"Emma!" It seemed that Emma's mother ran over quickly and said to Lille apologetically, "Mr. Lee, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"It doesn't matter, Emma is a cute little girl." Lille waved his hand, "How big do you want a slide?" ”

"So big!"

The little girl tilted her head back and used her hands to show that a slide much higher than her was quite difficult for her.

"Is that okay?"

"Yes." Lille smiled and pointed to the clearing not far away, "When the time comes, we'll put the slide there, one that-so big, as big as a castle." ”

"Then I can skate with my mom!"

"You can skate with your mom, you can skate with your friends, you can share the news with your friends."

The little girl's eyes seemed to light up, and she ran towards the lawn, shouting her mother's name as she ran, as if to make a reservation for her to let her slide at that time.

Her mother smiled helplessly and thanked Lille, "Thank you. ”

Lille shrugged: "There should be something for a little kid to play with." ”

"No, I mean, her father works for you and she also studies in the kindergarten at Lee's Finance, if not for this job.

We may have to sleep on the streets, in fact she didn't have the right clothes to wear last year."

As she spoke, the lady was a little excited, but she didn't know what to say, so she organized the language: "I just want you to know that we are all grateful to you." ”

After saying that, she suddenly saw Emma fall on the lawn and run quickly towards her daughter.

There are also many families in the park.

Lille sat in a chair and looked at the nearby flowers and trees.

Fury continued: "You've done what a lot of people can't. ”

"Don't be too pessimistic, if it weren't for the fact that many people before me did similar things, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do these things."

Fury's eyes showed some surprise: "Our report shows that you are a very proud and arrogant person. ”

"That's because you're so arrogant."

Fury was silent for a moment and sighed deeply - he knew Lille was right.

Lille continued to ask tentatively, "Since you're here, does that mean the situation is alleviated?" ”

"Of course it can't be, it's only going to get worse and worse, so bad that I have to see for myself what kind of person you are no matter what.

Remember when I told you that the sky wasn't safe? It was Roxon, who had at their disposal some kind of aerial interception weapon.

It's small, nearly invisible on radar, fast, nimble, and deadly.

Since 1950, 90% of the world's air crashes, train derailments and other large vehicle accidents may be related to it. ”

So, it took a long time for this monopoly to be formed, and both Roxon and Hydra profited from this hidden and untraceable assassination.

During the Cold War, the actions were the most frequent, and when their mass murder was over, the most important part of the new order was basically in their hands.

Lille immediately thought: Iron Man can do such a thing, but there is no Iron Man in this world.

However, Howard Stark used vibranium to create a giant mecha during World War II-

"Hydra Stomper."

"There's no clear evidence for sure, but it's very likely." Fury looked up at the sky, "For the past few decades, Roxon has used this weapon to intercept his opponents and prevent him from expanding his commercial control.

But I'm only now able to determine who profited from it.

In addition to Roxon, there is another organization that has also benefited from the operation of this weapon, Berry Nation politics, intelligence agencies, the military, and even . I have their people here, and it's a global infiltration.

They even tried to use a special threat monitoring algorithm to expand the sniper target.

But the operation was aborted during the last cyber upheaval. ”

Lille bowed slightly, this is a great help from AI technology.

In the prosthetic eye HUD, the little octopus suddenly jumped out, and a trumpet was conjured on the octopus's tentacles and blew wildly.

After a moment of silence, Fury got up and stretched, like an ordinary person who had sat for too long.

"Everything is on the hard drive, you're right, I'm too arrogant, so here's all the advice I can give you:

Some people on the Internet call you a coward, a virgin, but maintaining a fragile peace takes far more strength and courage than waging a violent war.

You're our last hope - and I have some money on hand, $40 million, that you can deal with Natasha. ”

40 million?

S.H.I.E.L.D. has lied to you, but you're not bad, you're a good hand at corruption.

Fury strolled away, and a thin metal manipulator grabbed the hard drive in the chair under the edge of Lille's clothes.

Using the tentacles of the little octopus to read the data, Lille looked at it and muttered to himself:

"People who start wars at will are either children who think they can't get hurt, or fanatics."

The hard drive contains all the clues that Fury has sorted out about the organizations, people, and other possible activities related to Hydra and Roxon's illegal activities.

Hydra uses surveillance methods to screen targets that are at risk to their "hegemony", and Lille can also use this detailed intelligence to target their people in conjunction with the expansive ctOS system.

These are madmen, and there is no need for any softness.

Fury was wrong about one thing: didn't the enemy want to keep the peace? Of course I want to.

It's just that everyone wants the peace they imagined, that's why they fight.

"Although it is a defensive measure. But it can be regarded as a preparation for war. ”

The breeze is blowing and the sun is shining.

Children run on the grass and thrive on the expectations of their parents, and around the podium, people wave their arms with the intention of building a better tomorrow.

Lille doesn't want war, he doesn't want everything in front of him to be enveloped in the flames of war, but when war will come.

Everyone needs to be prepared.
