Chapter 82 Recent Changes

The plan to find a few brains for the symbiote to eat failed in the end, because Schiller discovered that the symbiote not only actively complained about hunger, but also had extremely picky tastes.

"What do you think of him? I dare say he has more than a dozen lives on his hands. This gangster villain..."

"No, his brain is not good enough, I won't eat it."

"What about him? Let me see. A litigator who defends serial murderers must be a smart man, right?"

"He doesn't taste good either. It's not to my taste."

"What about this? I heard that he once robbed the largest bank in Manhattan..."

"It must be hard."

In the end, Schiller, who had no choice but to return to the psychology clinic, quarreled with the symbiote in his own mind: "Why are you so picky about food? Can't you just make do with it? Why can't you just eat the brains of a few ordinary criminals?"

"Then why don't you drink an Americano?"

Schiller opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute. This symbiote was getting smarter and smarter.

"Okay, but you have to tell me where you want to drink the espresso you want to drink, right?"

As soon as Schiller finished asking this question in his mind, the door of the clinic rang. Steve, who had just finished his morning run, walked in. The symbiote said happily: "...the espresso is here."

Following Captain America was Natasha. Before Schiller could speak, a yellow figure flew over. Natasha threw Pikachu into Schiller's arms. She said: "First of all! Aegis The bureau does not provide pet boarding services!”

"But the contract..."

"We just changed the contract and rats are not allowed to be fostered!"

"You are discriminating. Dogs and cats are OK, why not mice?"

"That's right!" Pikachu folded his arms and said, "Why not mice?"

"Shut up!" several others said together.

"Now that dogs and cats are no longer allowed, we are eliminating this employee benefit and everyone is in favor."

"I just put it away for a few days..."

"How many days??? How many more days do you want to take off??? Coulson replaced Fury in 7 days and used up his annual leave to hide out on the spot. The leaders from the United Nations who came to inspect left in a hurry after not staying for two days. Even on normal days The Army lieutenant general who was most willing to make things difficult for SHIELD bought an economy class ticket at his own expense and left overnight..."

Natasha stood at the door with her hands on her hips. The female agent was obviously very angry. She said, "The only good news is that the things he broke and the employee's mental damages can be used to cover Nick's report next month." Another 50% more reimbursement amount..."

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 short hands and stared at his big eyes. Pikachu stared at his two beady black eyes, looking extremely innocent. Then he wrinkled his nose and jumped on the sofa.

“PIKA—PIKA!”

"You were gone long enough this time." Steve said as he sat on the sofa.

"So has anything big happened recently?"

"There are no major problems, but a lot of small troubles."

"Oh?" Schiller asked while washing cups at the kitchen sink, "What's the trouble?"

"Stark and the military are completely at odds." Natasha said: "It is said that he found conclusive evidence that the military planned the kidnapping in Afghanistan, although I think it was Obadiah's plan to alienate him."

"You mean, it was Obadiah who planned this case and then blamed it on the military? Does he really not want Stark Industries to cooperate with the military?"

"Obadiah is like a hen guarding eggs. He does not allow anyone to touch Stark Industries. He will find ways to get rid of anyone who dares to touch his life's hard work."

"Before Stark was kidnapped, Obadiah was already under a lot of pressure from the military. The military's appetite was endless. They wanted too much, and even touched Stark. The core interests of Tucker Industrial Group, Obadiah has been dissatisfied with them for more than a day or two. "

"They did just buy some ordinary weapons at the beginning, but the weapons of Stark Industries are so useful. The military wants to get their technology and then copy it to produce it themselves. Of course Obadiah will not allow this to happen. ”

Natasha also leaned on the sofa, 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 the relationship between Stark and the military, he found terrorists to kidnap Stark?"

"Obadiah is very smart. He knows that sooner or later, Stark will produce amazing technology. He must give Stark a reason not to compromise with the military, so that he will not waste half his life's efforts. Stolen by the military."

"As long as Stark, who has mastered the core technology, refuses to let go, then at least the core technology of Stark Industries will be preserved."

"But that was at the expense of his nephew's life."

"Obadiah doesn't care." Natasha lit a cigarette and asked, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

"If you please," Schiller said.

Natasha looked at Steve, who said, "I don't smoke, but there are a lot of people smoking on the battlefield, and I don't mind."

The female agent slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. She seemed to be under a lot of pressure. Stark's complete breakup with the military was not entirely a good thing for SHIELD.

The current relationship is like this. SHIELD and the military have not dealt with it because of the distribution of military funds and SHIELD's ridiculously large law enforcement power.

The conflict between Stark and SHIELD mainly lies in his father and Stark's unwillingness to be kidnapped by the official organization.

The main conflict between Stark and the military lies in the military's overly greedy appetite and Stark's unwillingness to use his inventions for war.

Neither party wants to see the other two parties unite, because there will inevitably be an enemy among the two parties. If its power is strengthened, it will definitely be difficult for itself.

But they don't want the two parties to completely break up, because once the two parties break up and start a war on the spot, a third party will definitely come out to clean up the mess.

Schiller said pointedly: "Stark and the military turned against each other. I'm afraid it's not just Obadiah's credit behind this, right?"

Natasha said: "This is a secret. I have no authority... Well, it's not really a secret. Stark wants to cooperate with the military to develop medical technology and exoskeletons, but you know, the military wants They don’t want these things at all, they want bigger weapons and weapons with more firepower.”

"So, SHIELD used this to sow discord between them?"

Natasha knocked the ashes from her cigarette and said, "We just gave him a slight push in the back. What's more important is the foreshadowing that Obadiah has laid down a long time ago."

Steve asked with some confusion: "Didn't Stark think that this might be Obadiah's conspiracy?"

"He may have thought about it, but he's Tony Stark," Schiller said.

Natasha shook her head and said: "Obadiah knows his nephew too well. If he can blame everything on the military and preserve their uncle-nephew relationship, then Stark will definitely choose to deceive himself. Vent all your anger on the military."

"More importantly..." 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, that's who he is."

Steve sighed and said, "When Howard established Stark Industries, he probably didn't expect this day."

"Maybe he thought, at least he must have thought, that his genius brain and the technology in his hands would 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. He even slapped the table with a group of generals. General Johnson's affairs were exposed. The military has also begun to distrust Hammer Industries. They are very eager to force Stark to Tucker bowed 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 fought. General Johnson lost. The robot army has nothing to do with Stark. Stark also got a kind of nano-mecha technology from somewhere. He It would be terrible if everyone was given a cigarette.”

"The military is very anxious, but they dare not take action easily. I think they will eventually return to the negotiation table for exchange of interests."

"There should be another fight." Schiller said: "The military will not be happy to come to the negotiating table so soon, because they know that if they don't give Stark a hard blow, they have little leverage to use it. Exchange technology from Stark Industries.”

"At least we are allies for the time being." Natasha said, "Stark needs SHIELD to bear some of the pressure for him."

"What do you want? His nanomecha technology?"

"I don't know about this. It depends on Director Fury's intention, but SHIELD takes a different route from the military. Even if we get a large number of nano-mechas, we don't have the personnel to arm them. Agents are not suitable to wear those things. , maybe Nick has other plans."

"Hasn't he ever thought about asking Stark to tailor-make armor for the agents?"

Natasha put out the cigarette butt, and then said: "You don't know much about how agents work. Simply put, for work that requires wearing a mecha, an extra set of mechas will not increase the success rate much, and there is no need to wear a mecha." Wearing a mecha will not bring any better changes to the work done by A."

"Agents are not superheroes. Most of us still rely on our brains to make a living."

"Brain! Eat!" the symbiote shouted in Schiller's head.

"So Stark's medical cooperation with the military has also stalled?" Schiller asked.

"Actually, it didn't start much. Stark didn't directly provide technology, but the two of them cooperated in research and development. The military has invited some experts, and Stark provided some technical information and financial support. Of course, now the cooperation should It has been terminated.”

"Any results?"

Natasha shook her head and said, "Scientific research is not just a house game. How can we achieve any major results in such a short period of time?"

Steve said: "If they can really unite as one, maybe a lot of military personnel will benefit from this."

"This is impossible. Before a decision is made, neither party is willing to back down. They both feel that they can get more benefits. This is just an exchange of benefits, not for real benefit. who."

Steve seemed to be in a bad mood again. He said: "Actually, I understand the truth. Before truly launching a comprehensive cooperation, both parties must conduct countless trials until they find out each other's bottom line. Only then can they Build a partnership.”

“But sometimes I always think that if we can really use technology and financial resources where they should be used, we can definitely save a lot more people. If people think that this kind of wasteful behavior is necessary, and I don’t stop it, then who will sympathize with those who can’t be saved because these resources are wasted?”

“Captain, I understand that you have sympathy, but you don’t have to take this mistake on yourself.” Schiller said,

“I just think we can do better, and I always have a bad feeling.” Steve pursed his lips and said.

“Those who they think have long been unable to speak will sooner or later stand up, and by then, their way of speaking will not be to ask politely with words.”
