Gideon Malik discovered that the Emperor was different from what he had imagined. He did not show any importance to the tasks undertaken by General Hale, and did not even mention the details of those tasks several times. The negotiation shown by the Emperor in the previous conversation
Tension and grasp of General Hale's character, it was as if he knew herself better than General Hale, knowing what topics could arouse her interest and what secrets could drive her to do what. This attitude continued until the task was assigned.
A change occurred, and Gideon Malik instinctively felt something was wrong due to his years of gaming experience.
However, what happened next only gave him a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the emperor's plan.
Gideon Malik thought that the emperor used him to tell General Hale, asking her to bring his daughter. The bargaining chip given by the emperor in the subsequent conversation was enough to make General Hale realize that her work needed more.
A trusted helper, there was no one else who could do the job except Ruby. This situation made him subconsciously make a judgment, that is, the emperor's real target was the young and beautiful girl Ruby - and then he felt
Something is wrong. If this is the reason, there is no need for the emperor to go to great lengths or even fabricate a mission or crisis. This is too exaggerated. There is no need to pay so much to obtain a youthful body. The real target should still be General Hale.
.
The Emperor also provided the resources that would allow General Hale to establish a conservative Hydra family, a political and business revolving door of top military-industrial complex contractors, a family trust fund, and a government position that could be occupied by the family (this point
General Hale can do it himself). This is extremely important to General Hale, a product of Dr. Whitehall's Aryan eugenics project. It means that she can get rid of the shadow and identity of the past and climb to the top of Hydra.
The top floor is a height that even Dr. Whitehall cannot reach.
It seems that out of motherly love or reasons known only to the emperor, General Hale agreed.
The critical part of the normal conversation was like a fog. Even Gideon Malik, who was listening on the sidelines, was confused. He only knew that the emperor's one-time bargaining chip easily defeated the psychological defense of General Hale, who had been in the officialdom for many years.
, manipulating a person like a puppet. As for where these resources come from, Gideon Malik has no idea. As for what his daughter Stephanie knows, Gideon Malik also knows that he cannot ask at all.
, his daughter has completely fallen in love with the emperor. She belongs to this terrible man both physically and mentally, and will not have any thoughts of betrayal.
"I have only one request, for the sake of completing my job." Gideon Malik said, "The Malik family has been passed down for many years. Don't let us disappear completely. I don't want the Malik family to fall into those ambitions."
In the hands of Bo Bo's distant relatives, I don't want the Malik family's emblem to be erased and its glory to be forgotten."
"Don't worry, I won't be so harsh." The emperor patted the old guy's shoulder. The warmth from his palm through the woolen coat made Gideon Malik feel hot, and he was startled to walk slowly on this gray and cold night.
He breathed out a breath of decadent air-conditioning in the dusk. "Stephanie has done a great job. You have nothing to worry about." The emperor said, "I hope she can take on heavier responsibilities."
"I'm worried she's doing too well."
Gideon Malik chewed for a while, but finally couldn't spit out the corrosive acid words from his throat, which made his throat sting unbearably and kept coughing. The emperor used to conquer the Malik family.
The purest violence and fear, although his subsequent methods gave him the same preferential treatment as those feudal kings in the past, but that was only because the Malik family was still useful. To save others by himself, Gideon Malik did not think that the emperor would
With too much patience, the future of the Malik family can only be maintained by Stephanie Malik's relationship with the emperor, nothing more. But this line is too fragile, and Stephanie has ignored her own hints many times, Gideon
Malik knew he had to act.
Also worried was General Hale, because the future revealed to her by the emperor was full of despair.
The alien fleet is approaching, and humans have no ability to resist. Ground-based anti-orbital weapons may not work. Even if weapons are installed on satellites, they are just slow-moving targets in the eyes of aliens. The insurmountable technological generation gap is frightening.
Earthlings' bills and money are meaningless to aliens. How to preserve human survival in this environment is the key.
When she told the emperor that there would be surrender factions on earth, she was testing the emperor's attitude. She was testing whether human beings could survive on a certain stand. Issues such as dignity and aloneness did not seem to be difficult in the face of survival.
Choice - However, the emperor's words revealed his position. He firmly stood on the independent side of mankind and was confident that mankind could repel the alien fleet. The emperor promised her that he would bring the Chitauri
The biological samples and individual equipment of the genetically modified biochemical troops of the Dark Order were sent to the base for her testing.
According to him, these samples came from what he gained when he was an interstellar pirate. Although General Hale liked the iron will and insight shown by the Emperor very much, and she also knew the Emperor's individual combat capabilities, she would not put her hope in
On one person. She had to consider the cost of resistance. The population in industrial areas is more important than the population in agricultural areas. Soldiers are more important than civilians. Engineering majors are more important than liberal arts. She must consider how to reduce losses. Losing science and technology means that human beings
The race is likely to perish. As for those Avengers... General Hale has never thought highly of them. The premise of special operations is to have an army that can hold back the enemy's main force. When atomic skyfire falls from the sky and the human air defense system is helpless, that means
In the face of destruction, no matter how powerful the special operations team is, it will be of no use.
No, this is not surrender, this is pragmatism.
She must find a helper she can trust. Not Ruby around her, but a more reliable and powerful helper.
"Ronald Reagan (Washington National Airport)." As soon as she got in the car, Stephanie Malik issued instructions for the emperor, "I hope the private plane will be ready for the trip to New York." The Malik family's estate is located in
The McLean Langley District next to Washington, D.C., is an informal activity area for the Republican Party and has a very good environment. At the same time, the nearby Langley community is where the CIA headquarters is located. It can be said that the emperor's journey was in the enemy's territory.
Under the nose.
The driver nodded.
The Malik family has its own servants, and it is not difficult to make small moves. A bottle of medicine has already appeared in the wine cabinet of the car where Stephanie Malik and the emperor took a ride. This kind of thing is nothing to the Malik family.
As the vehicle of the Malik family, this car is also equipped with weapons, but the accompanying security team has been forcibly removed. No security work is needed this time. The driver knows his mission, and he will inform the future family at what time
The patriarch, he will tell her that the patriarch has arranged everything, and she just needs to follow it. "In ten minutes, you can complete the arrangements before arriving at the airport." The driver asked, "Do you need the flight attendant to arrange meals and drinks, madam?
Our catering company can prepare dinner when we arrive, making the one-hour flight very comfortable. Do you want to confirm the menu?”
Stephanie Malik turned to look at the emperor. After getting a negative answer, she told the driver. "As soon as possible, we won't stay in New York for too long." She said, "I hope New York JKF (John F. Kennedy International Airport)
Once we are ready to pick up the car, we will go to Mount Athena."
"We are professionals, ma'am. Obedience is rewarded, and serving the Malik family is ours—" The partition between the cab and the back seat slowly rose, but the driver still finished the rest of his sentence dutifully.
