Chapter 450 I'm an idiot

This reason is powerful.

Fury took a deep breath and said, "Madam Director, we may need to deal with the problems in the United States more positively."

He said: "After all, the establishment of SHIELD was first proposed by the United States; and"

Natasha waved her hand: "I have already given the United States a sufficiently positive attitude."

He said, "That's the truth. Report this matter to the U.S. military truthfully. If they have any objections, they can either negotiate with Koros Island through us, or go to Koros Island to ask for an explanation themselves."

Fury was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."

After leaving Natasha's office, Fury sighed softly.

As one of the deputy directors of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury seems to be in a high position of power; but in fact, only he himself knows his oppression.

He knew why.

Because of his stance, he was too close to the US; he knew that as long as he was willing to express the correct stance, his situation would improve.

But he just wouldn't give in.

He needs more power, but he can't get it within SHIELD; so he can only get closer to the United States to gain more external support.

This is a vicious cycle.

Take this incident for example. If he were the director, he would definitely find a way to give an explanation to the US military; but he is not, and Natasha's words and actions did not exceed the operating rules of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In fact, it was also a warning to him.

If he wants to continue serving as the deputy director, he must never again pretend to obey orders but actually disobey them.

Fury then sent Natasha's words to the US military, along with a short video of the troll being killed.

What was beyond Fury's expectations was that the American army, which had always been domineering, never returned.

A beachfront villa in Manhattan.

Pepper Potts, dressed in a formal work suit and holding a thick folder, walked into the villa and saw wine bottles all over the floor and Tony Stark, who was still drunk.

Pepper took a deep breath, pulled up a chair, sat across from the coffee table, opened the folder, and began to report to Tony.

"The company's revenue has shrunk by 80 percent this month."

"Some partners in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa have refused to continue working with Stark Industries."

Hearing this, Tony cursed and said drunkenly: "Those damn Eastern Europeans, Middle Easterners, and Africans, don't they love arms the most? Without arms, what can they use to kill people? A bunch of bastards, they all deserve to die, damn it!"

Pepper showed a hint of disgust on her face.

She took out a piece of paper from the folder, closed the folder, placed it neatly on the coffee table, and then spread the paper on the surface of the folder.

He stood up and said, "Mr. Stark, today is the last time I will report to you. This is my resignation letter. Goodbye."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away in her high heels.

Tony stared blankly at Pepper's back, like a statue.

After a while, he threw the wine glass in his hand away, grabbed the resignation letter and tore it into pieces, cursing: "Okay, you're all leaving, right? You all think that I, Tony Stark, have reached a desperate situation and can never recover, so you're abandoning me, right?! You're a bunch of bastards, trash, damn it!"

Listening to the angry curses coming from behind, Pepper remained silent and passed by Obadiah who was walking towards her.

Obadiah glanced at her, walked into the room, and shouted, "Tony!"

Tony was stunned for a moment, as if he had just seen Obadiah, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Stan."

Obadiah took a breath and said, "Now Stark Industries is in danger, and you are here drinking all day. How can you be worthy of Howard? How can you be worthy of me? How can you be worthy of those who have high hopes for you?"

Tony was stunned for a while, then said frustratedly: "But what can I do?"

He said: "I can't solve the problem of heavy nuclear fusion, and I can't make a heavy crystal battery! Stan, our armed mecha can't use fission energy cores. The cost is too high, and there is no way we can compete with Shenzhou Industry!"

"Besides, Congress and the White House will not allow us to sell armed mechas with fission energy cores!"

Stan sighed, "You are the smartest person. You will definitely use your wisdom to solve all the problems you encounter. We are all looking forward to it. Tony, you can't just be depressed like this!"

"There's no other way." Tony was exhausted. "The palladium reactor is just a fission reactor. I haven't even developed light nuclear fusion technology, let alone heavy nuclear fusion."

"I give up."

He said: "That man is simply a mountain, a mountain that cannot be climbed. In just a few years, he has developed technologies that may not be born for at least a thousand years in the future, multiple technologies."

"I can't compare to him."

"I'm not the smartest guy, I'm a fool!"

"I want a drink! Stan, I want a drink!"

Obadiah's face was as hard as steel.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He could actually understand Tony's frustration.

That man, Jiang Shan, is a mountain weighing down the entire world! The decline of the United States and the current chaos are all due to him. When the east wind overwhelms the west wind, the decline of the United States is inevitable. And Jiang Shan is the decisive factor in the rise of the east wind.

Tony's current mood is actually the mood of the entire United States.

Tony has brains, he is very smart; but a good cook cannot cook without rice.

The timing of Iron Man's integration into the plot was too bad, and Stark Industries is not the big chaebol in the original plot that can shake the world with a stomp of its feet.

Tony is not as wealthy as he is portrayed in the story.

Because of Tony's rude remarks at the press conference, Stark Industries immediately faced retaliation from Shenzhou Industries; first, the supply of heavy crystal batteries was cut off, and then most of Stark Industries' overseas partners were taken away. Stark Industries' stock price was cut in half, and Stark Industries was immediately plunged into a quagmire.

Even if Tony had an idea now, he couldn't afford so much money to do research.

High-energy physics research is a financial black hole. Without enough money, there is no point in doing research.

"Listen."

Obadiah stepped forward, straightened Tony, looked him in the eye, and said sternly, "We are indeed facing a huge predicament now, but you have to believe that there will always be a day to break free from it."

Say: "Now there is a chance!"

Tony said lazily: "No chance."

Obadiah wanted to slap him, but he held back and said, "The military invites you to participate in a research project. As long as you make a contribution, we can get investment from the military."

He said: "This opportunity cannot be missed. Tony, as long as you can help the military, we will have money. With money, we will have everything. Stark Industries will be very important one day!"

Tony was stunned for a while, and his pupils gradually focused: "A research project invitation from the military?"

Obadiah felt relieved and said quickly, "Yes."

Tony rubbed his numb face and said, "What project is it?"

Obadiah said, "Human enhancement research project."

Tony was stunned: "Human body enhancement?"

He showed a trace of disdain: "I have always believed that steel is more reliable than flesh and blood; the military's human enhancement research is bullshit."
