After temporarily settling in his new security director, Wonder Man Luke Cage, and his loyal friend Electro Max, Levi asked Erica to send several times more manpower to protect Vivian.
they.
Although those ninjas were not able to rescue Vivian immediately when faced with the Winter Soldier's surprise attack at night, their subsequent actions were still remarkable and worthy of praise.
After Erica received the order, she naturally went to arrange the manpower, but when facing Levi, she hesitated to speak.
Levi knew that the other party must have noticed something, but he just shook his head slightly. Instead of confessing now, he decided to wait for a while, waiting for Yoshioka Shin and Colleen Wen to finish the tasks at hand.
To officially announce something.
After hearing what Levi said, Erica immediately understood, and she had let go of one thing.
Levi soon set off to meet General Ross.
Halfway through, he received a call from Harry, saying that a group of SHIELD guys had come to the Osborn Group again.
And this time not only was he harassing him, the other party even wanted to ask Li Wei for questioning.
After asking whether the leading agent was the bald Sitwell agent who appeared before, Levi was no longer interested.
If this bald man appears, it must mean that it is Hydra.
I failed hard at night, and now I want to take a roundabout way? I have nothing to say to them!
So Levi directly asked Harry to reject them, and at least find someone who spoke nicer, and his straight black secretary Victoria should probably take action, right?
But this made Levi more and more certain. Even if Hydra has not officially announced its true identity, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not monolithic, they are also divided into factions.
Levi soon arrived at the agreed meeting place. The troops brought by General Ross today were even more exaggerated than before.
Not only were there a large number of military Humvees, armored vehicles, and even several main battle tanks, but there were also quite a lot of American soldiers, probably enough to fight a small war.
But this time they have only one enemy, and that is the Hulk, or Bruce Banner, who is sleeping with General Ross's baby daughter.
Seeing Levi coming over in suits and ties, carrying only a small suitcase, General Ross snorted, but didn't say much.
"Ryanstein, our target is at Calvo University. We have already set up a trap. As long as these awesome guys behind me join the battlefield, I will officially launch an attack!"
"General Ross, are you sure you want to fight a monster like the Hulk in the school without the teachers and students knowing anything about it?"
Levi felt that this old guy was really brave. Although it was still far behind Harvard and Yale, Calvo University was also one of the famous universities in the United States, and there were many social elites who came out of here.
If a war breaks out here, and the school's teachers and students suffer heavy casualties as a result, even General Ross may not be able to bear the resulting public opinion and various attacks.
But on the other hand, it can also be seen that this old man is probably really a local emperor in Virginia.
Unlike a certain country in the East, the dozens of states in the United States are all autonomous.
Different from the provinces where they are like brothers, here it is more like neighbors working together to form a gang. When it is good, everyone comes to rob it, and when something bad happens, they all blame it.
Moreover, even the White House cannot force the governor of a certain state to do anything. If the old man really takes complete control of this state, Levi will have to look at him more highly.
This may also explain why General Ross has always been able to thrive. Virginia's GDP ranks among the top 10 in the United States, and its economy is still very strong.
General Ross' face was gloomy. Of course he knew what consequences this might have, but they had already failed once, and the Hulk was not here to stay forever.
He used to work in a beverage processing plant in Brazil because his finger was cut while working, and blood fell into the drink.
After being sold, the blood filled with gamma energy created a victim, so General Ross followed the lead and found him.
It's just that they were poorly prepared last time and were counterattacked by the Hulk, but this time this guy actually came to the United States, and he happened to be near General Ross's lair. Of course he wouldn't let this opportunity go.
!
"This is my decision. I have no better choice. We missed the opportunity for Brazil. We cannot miss this opportunity again, even if we pay a heavy price for it!"
Although he has always wanted to use Hulk for profit, but seeing Hulk right in front of him, if he can really catch him and create a new serum based on his blood analysis, he can earn more at one time
!
Levi snorted: "General, have you ever thought about why the Hulk would run all the way from Brazil back to the United States and your sphere of influence even though he knew you were hunting him?
Are you a fool?"
He is certainly not a fool. Although the Hulk is a brainless monster driven by rage, Bruce Banner in his normal state is a genius rarely seen in the world.
Otherwise, General Ross would not have asked him to develop the super serum, otherwise General Ross's daughter Betty would not have taken a fancy to him.
Of course, General Ross knew this very well. He frowned immediately. He was too concerned about arresting the opponent before, so he completely ignored this point.
But under Levi's reminder, he suddenly seemed to remember something: "Wait, where is Betty?"
General Ross immediately started dialing his cell phone, and then the other party hung up the phone without hesitation. He started to make a second call, and then the other party directly chose to turn off the phone.
There was no need to say anything at all. General Ross immediately understood that that damn Bruce Banner must have gone to harm his precious daughter again!
But before he opened his mouth, another person next to him was already anxious: "This is the general's decision, you don't need to interfere!"
Levi turned around and looked, wow, this American soldier with an anxious face who looked to be at least forty years old, wasn't the same Bronski he had seen before?
It’s just that something doesn’t seem right about this guy’s current state, right?
Levi quickly realized something: "Wait a minute, General Ross, have you already let him use the experimental serum?"
"Of course, if we don't use the serum, how can we know its true power? And this is also Blonsky's own request. He is the best soldier under my command!"
General Ross looked matter-of-fact, but this still could not conceal his anxiety.
If a war really breaks out in the school, it's hard to say whether the Hulk can be killed, but the teachers and students in the school, as well as his precious daughter who is following the Hulk, will definitely be killed first!
Damn it, doesn't she already have a new boyfriend?
Even though she was just a psychiatrist, why did she go to see Bruce Banner again as soon as he came back?
The old man was very anxious for a while, but finally made a decision: "Let Talbot temporarily suspend the operation and implement plan B."
The so-called plan B is to temporarily stand still and keep surveillance. If the other party plans to escape, they will step in to stop it.
"What? But the general"
The soldier next to him, Bronski, suddenly became a little anxious.
He was beaten badly by the opponent in Brazil before, which was unacceptable to him who has always been proud. Now that he finally has the power of revenge through the serum, he doesn't want to lose this opportunity for revenge!
But General Ross did not intend to give him a chance to continue speaking. He glared at the other party fiercely: "Execute the order, private!"
"Yes, General!"
Bronski gave a military salute with some difficulty, and then turned around to command his team.
But even Levi could see his reluctance. This guy didn't seem to be facing his superiors, but an American general with real power.
And even though he lowered his head just now, Li Wei still noticed the resentment in his eyes...
Is he relying on General Ross's preference for him, or is he...
Levi suddenly laughed: "General Ross, the soldiers under your command are quite good and have great personalities."
Personality is never a good word in the military system. The army does not need individual soldiers. What they need is obedience, absolute obedience.
General Ross also felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
Although in the previous test, Blonsky, who combined the skills and strength he had accumulated over the years and used the experimental serum he had just obtained from the Osborne Group, showed extraordinary strength.
But he, who was originally unruly, seemed to have undergone some changes, some changes that he didn't want to see.
If you only have strength but no loyalty, then it is not your own soldier, it is just a tool!
But on the surface, of course, General Ross still had to protect him. After all, he was one of his own, and Reinstein in front of him was just an outsider.
"Blonsky is a good soldier. With his military merit, he is qualified to be a colonel, but he has always refused. He is a real soldier."
"Oh, a real warrior? In other words, he may do whatever it takes to achieve his goal?"
The old man's face suddenly became more gloomy. He could become a general and suffered such heavy losses in the process of chasing Hulk, but he still did nothing. Instead, his power became stronger and stronger. Of course he was not a fool. He instantly became
I thought of some possibility.
The old man got a little closer to Levi: "Ryanstein, you don't have to participate in the next battle, but I hope you can protect the safety of my daughter Betty. For you who also used the strengthening serum, this shouldn't be too harsh, right?
?”
Levi suddenly laughed and nodded his head gently: "Although the initial version I used received very little enhancement, fortunately it was not affected here."
"But, General, is this a condition, or is it just a simple favor between friends?"
The properties between the two are completely different.
If there were conditions, General Ross would naturally not be able to let Li Wei work for free, but there was no need for Li Wei to risk his own life to save others.
If they were friends, Levi would put in more effort, but General Ross wouldn't have to pay any price, of course, for the time being.
It is impossible for an old fox like General Ross to instantly become a true and heart-to-heart friend just because Levi saved her daughter's life. The two parties must still have interests in the beginning, but this will at least be a good start.
General Ross narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly: "Of course, Levi, this is just a favor between friends. I really hope to see a promising genius like you become my friend."
