Chapter 1411 Chapter 1407 Standard Negotiation (Two in One)
"You're not telling the truth!"
Tony Stark walked out of the projection range several times, but eventually came back.
"As in the past, poisonous lies flowed out of your mouth like saliva, poisoning everyone who heard you. Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, and James Buchanan...
Barnes... We have known each other for so many years, but I have never really understood you. Before you started the war, not even Nick Fury or Natasha knew about your double life. I know this
It's too late, but I still have to say it." Tony Stark jumped up like a cat whose paw was stepped on. He was very angry at Salomon's vague words, because he had heard this kind of thing more than once
Vague statements, and do things you don't want to do because of this misinformation. "The reason why you tell lies and refuse to let others be your friends is because of your arrogance. You don't bother to let others understand you,
Because everyone else is stupid in your eyes, right?"
"I think I need to reiterate, Stark. I invite you to join the planetary defense program and build a defense network against alien fleets. This invitation includes several countries, but due to the special nature of Stark Industries, you
You can only join anonymously to provide technical guidance." Salomon was not angry, and did not even react in any way because of Stark's emotions.
He had long expected that Stark would have this kind of emotion. After all, he couldn't expect a person who had been on the opposite side of conflicts of ideas and interests to remain calm. But he still deliberately chose this moment to discuss the relationship between Bayonetta and Zhen.
De just asked Dinah to invite him to have afternoon tea in the glass conservatory - this is a vague statement between him and the witch, like some kind of unspeakable invitation. Next to the glass conservatory is the modern and simple glass bedroom, in the afternoon
After tea, the witches will want some entertainment, and Salomon will never miss every invitation from the witches - and Tony Stark, who is in the United States, has just finished breakfast, and his blood sugar is gradually rising.
My mind won't be particularly clear.
He had seen the Earth Defense Plan white paper that Tony Stark had submitted to the Pentagon and Congress.
As long as they have certain authority, members of Congress can basically see the white paper. The white paper he holds comes from Gideon Malik. Although Gideon Malik is still not a member of Congress, the members of Congress he controls can
Provide enough information. Just like Gideon in the Bible story, lurking in the enemy camp to eavesdrop on intelligence.
The ultimate vision of Stark's white paper is to establish a globally integrated strategic defense. All participating countries must give up part of their military information security and military sovereignty. This overly idealistic vision is destined to be impossible to realize. However, many of the white paper's
If the content is taken out separately, it is very consistent with the United States' operational concept of building military hegemony and information hegemony in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, when the white paper is in the hands of Congress, it will be heavily deleted and will eventually become a naval strategy white paper issued by the Pentagon.
The core idea will be contrary to Tony Stark's original vision.
"Or do you want to go through the long approval channel of Congress, the intertwined interests of the Pentagon, NSNA and the military-industrial complex, so that only 10% of the funds that should have been invested in research and development are implemented on projects to save mankind? No one can compare
You know better that this kind of thing will definitely happen. If you want to continue to achieve your goals through a corrupt system and hypocritical democracy, then I will not object. You can usher in the doomsday with those moths and let hundreds of millions of people and people live together.
Buried with useless financial games."
The emperor calmly stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
"You know I'm right, Tony Stark. You know what the white paper you handed over to Congress will eventually become, that's why you feel angry." Tony Stark wanted to refute, but he didn't after all.
Having learned debating skills, he completely failed to notice the emperor's trick of vague arguments. Coupled with the gradually rising blood sugar after breakfast and the blood rushing to his stomach, after being attracted by other arguments, he would not be able to remember the real meaning for a while.
Where is the contradiction? "You know that I have always done the right thing, you know that I see further than everyone else, and you know that I never waste time and energy on useless people and things, so in your case
I looked very cold in my eyes. But I had no idea of changing it because I didn’t have time and my responsibilities didn’t allow me to do so.”
Tony Stark was silent, he hadn't figured out how to retort yet.
Now the whole world knows that Latvinia has extremely powerful genetic modification technology, and there is also a company that specializes in life extension surgeries, specifically serving the rich. As far as he knows, although Latvinia is now on the opposite side of the United States,
However, several plutocrats who had received organ transplants and whose bodies were already overwhelmed contacted Latovinia. As long as the emperor expressed some wishes, the congressmen who received the money would propose and pass it.
"If you agree, I will send an aircraft to greet you. However, in order to keep it confidential, you still need to use power armor to fly to the designated coordinates. My Tianma super heavy assault transport boat will be waiting for you in the air." The emperor waved his hand.
, the Cheshire Cat obediently approached the holographic projection switch, "You know how to contact my secular identity, Tony Stark. No one can monitor the conversation between us, not even Homeland Security. I will send the coordinates
Sent to you. Don't worry, the coordinates aren't too far from your and Pepper's vacation cabin."
A very standard negotiation process, expressing the ability to harm and expressing the willingness to harm are carried out at the same time.
He didn't reveal how he knew Tony Stark's location or when he positioned his armed forces near that country cabin. If this were in a traditional superhero comic, then the Emperor believed he was definitely occupying
The emperor, the villain of several publications, did not leave Tony Stark any time to think, and immediately ordered the Cheshire Cat to jump up and press the button, interrupting the secret conversation.
"Secret conversation, huh?" Bayonetta knocked on the door. She held the wine glass in one hand and raised her eyebrows at Salomon. The light red wine was clear and transparent, and a round cherry sank at the bottom of the glass. "
Try the cocktail I made and see how it goes this time."
"Dry martini? It's better than last time." Salomon walked over and took the glass and took a sip without hesitation. If he hadn't taken the food from the witch's hand, Hammurabi or Dinah would definitely
He rushed over to conduct a rapid toxicology test. "I feel like this is Dinah's usual bartending style. She doesn't like to add too much Italian vermouth." He handed the wine glass to the ubiquitous small housekeeping hovering robot,
He held onto Bayonetta's slender waist and deliberately moved closer. A few years ago, he could only look up to Bayonetta, but now it was Bayonetta's turn to look up at him. The black-haired witch poked her with her finger with a smile on her face.
On his chest, the slender high-heeled shoes deliberately stepped on his toes, so close that her whole body was pressed against Salomon's body.
"Did Dinah teach you how to make a martini?"
The popular impression of afternoon tea is not suitable for this manor.
Although this does not mean that exquisite refreshments and sweet black tea are not popular in the manor, compared to various cocktails, the witches obviously prefer the latter to the former that Salomon always likes. Cocktails tasted during afternoon tea time
The alcohol content is not high, and most of them are quite sweet and exquisite in appearance, which is very suitable for tasting with rain, snow and grass on this always cloudy British afternoon. Only dinner and after dinner are the best times to taste spirits and wines.
On a good day, whiskey is paired with American smoked meats, wine is paired with an exquisite French meal, and brandy is paired with after-dinner entertainment.
In one night, more than twenty bottles of wine would be exchanged on the manor's dining table.
But this is not too much. After all, the program written by Salomon is continuously extracting numbers with value from the stock market of financial capitalism, and then filling those numbers into his secular identity and secular social status.
Maintaining the living standard of his and the witch's worldly status. This lifestyle makes him and the witch somewhat isolated from the world. Attending social dinners in high society is just for boredom, not specifically to get to know certain people. They don't need to pretend.
Donating to charity, or simply setting up a charity to avoid taxes, Salomon's biggest enemy of this lifestyle is only the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, because the latter has always believed that his secular identity is suspected of insider trading.
"I really like her way of mixing drinks." The witch raised her chin, "Her mixing skills were all taught to her by you, weren't you?"
"Hmm, the subconscious instillation of artificial souls is my preference. Who made Dinah initially position herself as a maid..."
"Not combatants?" Bayonetta raised her voice slightly, "Including all androids?"
"Well..."
"Don't waste time, sweet little boy." Bayonetta chuckled. She held Salomon's face, stood on tiptoes and kissed his lips. "Joan Arc wanted to make up for what he missed last night.
I also want to taste more entertainment activities." She blinked and expressed satisfaction with Salomon's rare embarrassing mood. She tasted his emotions like the banshee in the folk tale. "We are both.
I like your magic, it’s delicious.”
"I'll send Constantine a message, dear."
Salomon couldn't help but kissed back a few times. His warm and soft lips made him almost unable to extricate himself. In the end, Bayonetta pushed him away, otherwise she would have spent this afternoon tea time in the office. Bayonetta
Ta bent down and took the Cheshire cat with its tail erect next to him in his hand. His movements were light and graceful, like twisting a designer handbag.
"You only have ten minutes." The witch said with a smile, "Don't exceed this time."
"Listen, I only have ten minutes!"
The relocation of the lighthouse base is in an orderly manner. The Coulson agent team has been sent to a training ground where they do not know the location. There they will receive training including space walking, vacuum first aid, etc. Constantine also asked them to understand the constellations and learn
The scientifically modified star navigation technology ensures that they can determine their position in the galaxy. The soldiers of the First Secret Regiment and the Ranger Cavalry on duty are still staying in the lighthouse base, waiting for intelligence from the rear. Inside the lighthouse base warehouse
All the items were completely sorted out, so some important people still stayed at the lighthouse base to help with the work.
Among them was the Immortal Enoch.
Although most of the armed personnel have withdrawn, after the bloody suppression of the two riots, the SHIELD agents have finally calmed down completely, and there is no need to worry about the negative effects of the reduction in security forces. Not to mention a few minutes
The sisterhood that had just learned of the emperor's arrival only needed ten seconds to prepare. Even without using weapons, these armored girls could break human bones with their bare hands. With just a pair of iron fists, they could eliminate all enemies of the emperor in the base.
Safety disadvantages.
"Have you seen me, Enoch the Immortal?" In the control room, apart from the emperor himself, there were only Enoch the Immortal and the Guardsman Constantine. No one could hear this conversation and have no idea what the conversation was about.
Make an intervention. "If so, when?"
"How did you..." Enoch was a little surprised. This was the first time he faced the emperor in reality, and he felt that the abnormal current in his processor core was increasing. "How do you know these things? Are you spying on me?"
"Your conversation with Agent Coulson was not confidential, and all the footage you showed him was recorded. Your footage is very important to me, Enoch. As Agent Coulson will conduct
A journey through time and space. I will also embark on the same journey, but I am going to the past." The emperor extended his hand to Enoch, "Your camera system is very good and can even see through the cover of supernatural forces. I
Now I have your facial recognition data, Enoch, but I need your experience even more."
"Why?"
The emperor glanced at Constantine and then nodded towards the latter. "Constantine will let you know more secrets, Enoch. Although you have been on earth for thirty thousand years, you have never been able to see it.
The war behind the curtain. And...I also saw a power in you that I didn't understand."
"If I leave the lighthouse base, the warehouse inventory efficiency will be reduced by 56.2%."
"Compared with inventorying the warehouse, I think you have more important things to do." The emperor gestured to the guards, "This friend needs a day trip to Kama Taj."
"I don't think it will be of any use, my lord."
"My opinion is exactly the opposite." The emperor lowered his head and looked down at the Immortals, his eyes full of meaning. "The Immortals are a mechanical race, which means that there is more than one person looking at us through his eyes."
"Someone is watching us?" The Praetorian Guards immediately loaded their bolt guns.
"Don't be nervous, Constantine. Not now, not here."
