Chapter 63 It turns out that little Japan is causing trouble!
SHIELD, Director's Office.
The press conference held by the Maoist Embassy was being played on the TV screen. Chekov and Ivan Vanke successively showed the patent information about the Ark Reactor, trying to prove that the Ark Reactor was the invention of Anton Vanke.
Nick Fury is probably one of the people alive who knows the most about this incident. In addition, there is Peggy Carter who is lying in the hospital and Hank who has left S.H.I.E.L.D. Pym.
Of course "Black Braised Egg" knew that Envoy Da Mao was selectively releasing information, but he could not stand up to refute the other party, because the idea of the Ark Reactor was indeed proposed by Anton Vanke first, and then Howard Stark After joining, it has been continuously improved, and it is no longer possible to distinguish who has made greater contributions.
This also resulted in Anton Vanke's name being listed before Howard Stark on the design blueprint. According to the tradition of the scientific community and even the tradition of mankind, the person ranked higher contributed more and had a higher status.
The two sides later had differences.
Anton Vanke hopes to immediately apply for a patent and put the Ark reactor into production so that he can make a lot of money. This is understandable. After all, he chose to defect in order to have a better quality of life.
However, Howard Stark believed that the technological level of the 1960s could not guarantee safety after expanded production. He did not want Americans to live next to a huge nuclear bomb.
Howard Stark founded Stark Industries as early as World War II. He made a lot of money by selling arms. He was already an elegant "gentleman" and began to care about social influence. He did not lack this money.
He is not lacking, Anton Vanke is lacking!
Come all the way to the United States and bear the name of treason, just to count money!
Anton Vanke then went behind Howard Stark’s back and applied for a patent with the U.S. Copyright Office alone, and removed Howard Stark’s name so that he did not need to obtain Howard Stark’s authorization. You can submit application materials by yourself just by signing.
He has obviously forgotten his identity and really regards America as a free country that tolerates all.
The U.S. Copyright Office turned around and reported the situation to the former Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. When Howard Stark learned about it, he was furious and directly labeled Anton Vanke as a thief of secrets. spy.
Perhaps because he had some mercy, perhaps because his conscience was still intact, or perhaps he just wanted Anton Vanke to suffer a greater crime, Howard Stark did not instruct the Federal Warning Bureau to silence him, but instead sent him to the then Soviet Ambassador pavilion.
After being repatriated, Anton Vanko went directly to Siberia to dig potatoes. After the empire split, he returned to Moscow with an illness, and finally died in depression.
Fortunately, due to the appearance of Lin Hao in this universe, the father and son were taken back to the Divine Spear Bureau by Zheng Xian ten years ago.
This is the easiest and most valuable "Marvel newcomer benefit". As soon as Lin Hao joined the Spear Bureau and gained attention, he immediately suggested to Zheng Xian to recruit the father and son.
From Nick Fury's perspective, there was nothing wrong with Howard Stark's original behavior. If it were him, he would probably kill Anton Vanko directly and avoid future troubles.
Some things won't weigh as much as four ounces if they don't go on the scale, but if they go on the scale, they won't weigh even a thousand pounds!
If Vanke and his son did not have the help of noble people, they would never be able to turn around in this life. But now they can appear in the United States openly and get the support of the Maoist state machine.
Faced with such a situation, even Nick Fury was at a loss.
Sending someone to assassinate?
His armor is obviously much more advanced than Tony Stark’s. Who can kill Ivan Vanko?
The other party must have stayed at the Maoist embassy while in the United States. Nick Fury dared to risk a war between the two countries and send people to attack the embassy?
Besides, what will happen if you kill him?
This will only reinforce Howard Stark's stigma.
“Director.”
A wavy red-haired man wearing a tight leather jacket walked into the office.
"Tony Stark's condition is very bad. The symptoms of heavy metal poisoning are getting more and more serious. He may not be able to survive for long." This is Natasha, who has already entered Stark Industries and became a legal assistant. Romanoff is also the famous Black Widow.
"No, Howard should have left some key things to Tony. With Tony's IQ, it is impossible that he cannot solve the mystery left by his father." Nick Fury quickly realized Something is wrong.
The information left by Howard Stark has naturally been read by Nick Fury. Unfortunately, there are only some regular contents in the notebook. SHIELD has already digested the technology above, but the second half is blank.
The only thing that made Nick Fury uncertain was the video tape. With his agent's intuition, he realized that the future city model might be the key. Unfortunately, the agent was not a physicist after all, and he didn't know what Howard was doing. What exactly is the thing Stark left behind and how much is it worth?
He only took over as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in recent years, and it was only in the past few years that he had access to the agency's top secrets.
In the past ten years, Stark industry has been booming, and its ties with the military have become increasingly close. Tony Stark is the orphan of the founder, and Nick Fury wants to recruit Tony into S.H.I.E.L.D. Inherit his father's legacy instead of pushing him further and further away by taking advantage of him.
"I checked the Stark Industries surveillance. Twenty days ago, a neon man came to the Stark Industries building. That night, a fire broke out in the building and burned down a building. Howard Stark left behind The model..."
"What did you say?" Nick Fury, who has been busy expanding the Dongchang team for more than half a month, really heard about this for the first time.
"The fire did not spread, it only burned the model." Natasha quickly added.
"Model?" Nick Fury asked in shock: "The model of the future city left by Howard? The layout of the Stark Industry Expo in 1974?"
Natasha was surprised by the boss's memory. I didn't go into detail about what model was burned. I just reported it based on the agent's intuition that it was an abnormality.
"If Howard didn't leave any other models, it should be this one." Natasha nodded.
Nick Fury immediately changed his face and gritted his teeth: "Is that neon man called Ichigo Kurosaki?"
"Yes." Natasha nodded again.
"Damn it, it turns out it's little Japan who is causing trouble!"
Nick Fury immediately stood up, his face sinking: "Tony is finished now!"
Palcing for a moment, he immediately walked towards Natasha ordered: "Go and get in touch with this neon man and try to find out his background."
Natasha frowned slightly. Although she had long been accustomed to using beauty traps, deep down she still felt There is a trace of resistance, after all, no one wants to be a tool.
But she had no choice. From the day she destroyed the "Red House", she had no choice but to take refuge in SHIELD.
Thinking that Ivan Vanke had the full support of Da Mao, and that the Emperor had imitated the Spear Bureau and established the Bear Shield Bureau a few years ago, Nick Fury noticed the subtle changes in Natasha and quickly comforted her gently: "This operation is to protect myself. Safety is the premise, no matter what is behind this Kurosaki Ichigo, he is already our enemy, and I will not let him go."
The implication is that Natasha can go through the motions and get any amount of information. OK.
"Okay." Since the boss said it all, Natasha had no choice.
"This matter will start again tomorrow. Now let's go meet Tony Stark together. He has to make a choice, and so do we."
As he said that, Nick Fury walked towards Office door.
As usual, please follow up~
It should be on the shelves on the 21st, and there will be updates. I have been preparing the manuscript recently, and I will release it all by then.
