Winthrop's expression turned ugly when he heard the words. It's okay for his two older brothers to dislike him, and even his only younger brother thought so, which made him extremely embarrassed for a while.It's not that he didn't know that even he could see things that the other four brothers couldn't see. The only thing he didn't expect was that none of them supported him.

The combination of Stark Industries and new energy is so dangerous. Sooner or later, they will replace our current position. Your vision and methods are much better than mine. Why can’t you see this and are unwilling to prevent this from happening?

Seeing that his brother showed displeasure, Lawrence couldn't help but relieved and said: "I never deny your intelligence, Winthrop. But your personality is too impatient, which can be easily taken advantage of by others. And in my personal opinion, although new energy is very important to oil The main old energy is a great threat, but for now, we are still in the stage of mutual utilization, and the situation has not yet reached the point of death. Even if the infinite energy will replace it in the future, it does not mean that the old energy will completely decline. In addition to being used for fuel consumption, old energy can also be used in other industries and fields. We are not driven to a dead end."

Seeing that the fourth brother was silent, David added in a relaxed tone: "According to my observation, the use of new energy has only shown its unique applicability in a few fields besides fuel. Don't worry about its threat, because in my eyes, this is just a kind of "industrial blood" similar to oil. Of course, it is not ruled out that other usages will be developed in the future, but as far as I am concerned, I am very much looking forward to the Infinity Rough Stone as a new energy source, and what new surprises are there.”

These words sound like they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they are full of gloating towards the old energy school.

The eldest brother John, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "The guardian of the Rubik's Cube has gradually released the restrictions on the use of infinite energy. The appearance of the energy core is the product of her compromise with the world. This shows..."

"At least in the short term, she doesn't want to be our enemy." This was quickly taken over by Nelson.

With his behavior of stealing words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became delicate.

It is already a public matter in the family that the two brothers compete with each other for the position of head of the third-generation Rockefeller family.Whether the two sides were face to face or not, Nelson always found an opportunity to embarrass his brother, and it was also reflected in this surprise attack.

John stopped what he blurted out, and he frowned at his second brother, who also looked at him unflinchingly.

In the end, it was John who took the lead to interrupt the stagnant atmosphere and regain a round for his loss. "...and we can 'override' her permission and use that core to do a lot of things."

Nelson pretended he didn't hear John's pun, and turned to look at his three younger brothers.

John is his elder brother, he should have respected him, and he shouldn't have any thoughts about the position of the head of the family, but the elder brother's too weak character made the scheming Nelson always look down on him.They all believe that new energy will replace it sooner or later, but there are considerable differences on whether to prevent it before it happens.

The eldest brother does not want to have any hostile behavior with the guardian of the Rubik's Cube and the core figure of the new energy. He naively thinks that the two sides can coexist, but Nelson believes that there should be limited control.Even if it is cooperation, it is based on the premise that the status of both parties is relatively equal. They are not equal in strength to the Stark Group, which has unlimited energy.The former is still a dependent relationship. If the two cooperate without restriction, it will only speed up the replacement of old energy by new energy.

Nelson thought from the bottom of his heart that future technologies such as infinite energy should not be managed by individuals. Now its use is all at the whim of individuals, and the uncertainty here is too great.

It was precisely because of his ignorance of the Guardian of the Rubik's Cube that he agreed to invite him to the manor. He wanted to take this opportunity to observe what kind of person Griffin was, and Ben judged his future countermeasures based on this.It's a pity that the other party failed to invite repeatedly, and although they also met in person later, the two sides also lost the best opportunity for cooperation.Unless the family marriage is carried out, it is impossible for them to rest assured that the two parties will fully cooperate.

Nelson has also expressed regret many times in private parties or in public, but he doesn't really want to kill each other.

It may also be because of my speech on these occasions that other people misunderstood my intentions. They seized this point and fanned the flames on their stupid and impulsive fourth brother, trying to make themselves behind the scenes.

Nelson is not stupid, how could he not see such a blatant use of behavior?

It's not that he doesn't like other people's tricks, but he hates the behavior of using his younger brother to force the entire Rockefeller family to take sides.Nelson always believes that as a mature politician, he should have a flexible moral bottom line, and at the same time, it is best not to leave the field easily or take a clear-cut stand before the situation is truly confirmed.

As those forces with ulterior motives fan the flames, the disputes between old and new energy sources will only intensify. At this time of changing circumstances, the family can only overcome this difficulty under their own leadership. If it is handed over to the elder brother, his weakness and hesitation The family will never be destroyed in this crisis.

At this time, David, the youngest, suddenly said, "Actually...fourth brother's worries are not unreasonable."

Volume 165.4: [-] The smallest one is the most powerful

David successfully attracted everyone's attention to himself, and continued under the watchful eyes of his four brothers: "We all think that new energy will become the enemy of old energy, but we are just discussing how to deal with this matter. It’s just a matter of disagreement.”

Even though he understood that Winthrop was mostly picked on by some people deliberately to get ahead, and he looked down upon this brother who was eager to make a difference, but it was pointless to continue to ridicule him.

He looked around at the four elder brothers present.

"Big brother means letting go of development. He is betting on the character of the guardian of the Rubik's Cube."

"I want to state first, this is not gambling." John said. "Based on her performance in the past two years, I can see that she, like Captain America Steve Rogers, is a kind person who has inherited the excellent qualities of human beings. They are the beacons of human beings. So I believe she will not do do something that would endanger the world."

"Yes, but you lack knowledge of whether she can destroy the consortiums that control the old energy sources." Nelson couldn't help retorting. "A person is a good person. But a good person may not be able to do what she wants to do. The more good a person is, the easier it is to be constrained by external factors; the better a person is, the easier it is to do unexpected things. She has too many things she cares about. , and these have nothing to do with us."

John shook his head, he didn't want to quarrel with his brother, and even if he won, he wouldn't feel better.He didn't think his views were wrong, and the two sides insisted on their own views, and they were stalemate for a while.

Until David's voice came next.

"The second brother's meaning is the opposite of that of the elder brother. He believes that this matter should not develop in an orderly manner. It is like gardening. Pruning excess branches can make the tree grow higher. However, the behavior of the guardian of the Rubik's Cube and her uncertainty limit This kind of...well, 'regulation'. Getting her to agree to further restrictions is going to be difficult, and I don't think it's going to work."

"She made a compromise on that," Lawrence said. "As John said, the appearance of the energy core is the result of compromise."

"But why do you think this is not a cover-up she wants to use against us?" Winthrop said in disbelief. "When the butcher wants to slaughter the pigs, he first relaxes their vigilance and kills them with one blow."

Lawrence leaned back in disbelief. "That metaphor is really vulgar."

What's the meaning?Are you saying that I am ignorant and can't think of good adjectives! ?

Yes, compared to you guys, I didn't like to study X when I was young, but even so, I'm better than most people!

"But the reason is the same." David said, suppressing the anger of the irritable fourth brother. "The third brother's opinion is between the elder brother and the second brother. He is neither like the elder brother who is completely laissez-faire, nor is he ready to intervene at any time like the second brother. It is...observation."

"This is my cautious performance." Lawrence's smile was full of affinity.He is a person who maintains absolute rationality and at the same time is not lacking in boldness and decisiveness. After all, he is engaged in venture capital, and he never makes a move easily without complete assurance.

"The fourth brother's thinking is even more straightforward. He believes that new energy is an imminent threat and must be eradicated as soon as possible."

"That's right, that's what I mean." Winthrop said with a heavy breath.

David added another sentence. "If you want me to say, the reaction of the fourth brother is the mainstream thinking of the vast majority of consortiums and families who are threatened."

At this time, Winthrop stopped talking, mainly because he was a little uncertain whether the fifth brother was praising him or mocking him.

As a member of the Rockefeller family, he was very happy that his evaluation was at the average level of the consortium in the eyes of his younger brother, who had always been a genius. This meant that his knowledge had surpassed most people in the United States.But also because he is a member of the Rockefeller family, he feels that he should not be compared only with other consortiums, at least not with those families that he does not like.

"But this idea is too eager. As the third brother said, it is easy for us to lose our judgment on the situation and become victims of the game between the two factions." David said.To some extent, he still considered the fourth brother's face, and didn't directly point out that he might be being used by others.It should be noted that the Rockefeller family, as the top consortium in the United States, is extremely easy to be envied and hated for its wealth and status.

If they were just an ordinary small family, they might still be able to use this opportunity to get some dividends from the big forces, but they are the Rockefeller family, so there is absolutely no need to personally take risks.

Nelson glanced at his youngest brother, and quietly listened to his analysis of the four brothers' attitudes towards this matter.After a moment of silence, he said: "What do you want to say, you might as well say it clearly."

This younger brother's brain is better than theirs, and he is quite favored at home, and he is deeply loved by his father. You might as well listen to his opinion first.

He wasn't worried that the position of the third head of the family would fall into the hands of this younger brother, at least not when he was around.

"Actually, I have been thinking about a question just now, how should we face Stark Industries and his biggest backing, that is, infinite energy." David talked slowly. "If it's just Howard Stark himself, we naturally don't need to treat him like an enemy, and we can even choose to cooperate."

"But the problem now is that Stark Industries is not short of energy supply. Even with the support of infinite energy, they have a tendency to become a whole. Even without our joining and the cooperation of other old energy sources, they can also Live well." David changed the subject and asked back: "But why didn't he form his own system, but still chose to cooperate with the old energy?"

"That's because they know the fate they will face if they do this. The United States will not allow them to be alone. So they must share, whether it is voluntary or not." Without waiting for the four to answer, David announced the answer himself. "This also shows that the United States is still our ally. As long as it fails to fully control the infinite energy for a day, it will always stand on the side of the old energy! For any temptation, it is happy to see it succeed."

"Still, it's not going to help us in any real way, and it's more likely to see us lose both ways," Nelson said.

"Yes, so we can't end in person." David nodded. "But the fourth brother's speech today broke our idea of ​​being alone. The controllers who control the lifeline of this country are implying that we must do something. At least let them know that we are still willing to do things for them."

Volume 165.5: [-] We should be chess players not chess pieces

"So we can't do nothing, but we can't do too much for the sake of the family." Lawrence understood, he nodded and said no more.

Counting upwards, Lawrence has two elder brothers, and there is also a younger brother who is much smarter than him. He is in the middle of this unembarrassing position. The head of the family will never be his turn, so from the beginning he I'm not interested in inheriting the family business, and I don't really want to get involved.

But if the family fell apart because of this incident, it would not do him any good.

What has to be done is a response to the forces behind this country, at best a warning to one's own kind.

"That's exactly the reason." John also sighed when he heard the words.

To be targeted in this way when the other party is not threatening, they are too aggressive.

As a person who has been in touch with a part of the truth of this world, how could he not know the energy of those mysterious forces rooted in the old continent and stretching for hundreds of thousands of years?

Farther away, there are Hydra and Inhumans, and closer, there is the Freemasonry founded by the Jews-this is the most superficial and active of these forces.

Germany just massacred millions of Jews two years ago, and now Griffin, who is also a German, wants to use the financial resources of the United States to transfuse Germany, harming the core interests of capitalists including Freemasons.It's hard not to make some sensitive people think more, those old European forces who fled from the old continent, they don't want Germany to stand up more than anyone else.

She has already touched the bottom line of these secret forces, which will inevitably lead to intensified conflicts.

Even without the help of a deeper organization, the Freemasonry itself is willing to be the knife.

The more he knew, the more John worried about the future of ordinary people like them.No matter who wins and loses in this conflict between old and new energies, it is mortals like them who suffer.

He even thought about taking a clear stand on the side of the Guardian of the Rubik's Cube.But if he expresses his position on this, Nelson, who has always opposed himself, may immediately choose to stand on the side of old energy.

This is not conducive to the unity of the family, and John himself does not want to turn against his brother because of this.

He knew what was the right thing to do, but he just couldn't choose that way.This made him feel very painful, and this sigh may not have relieved the sorrow in his heart.

Nelson heard the sigh of the inaction elder brother, knowing that he had decided not to get involved in this matter at this time, and there was no goal of confrontation, Nelson secretly mocked the weakness of the elder brother, while continuing to ask the fifth brother: "Do you have a solution?" Is there a way?"

Since Lao Wu likes to show off so much, then let him deal with the problem.

"Facing the different opinions of the four brothers, as the younger brother, I also have a plan that combines the ideas of the brothers. We don't need to end in person, or we have no reason to be pawns for the hidden organization that controls the world."

David nodded. Since he was able to analyze the problem, he had of course thought of a countermeasure.

"No matter what the world changes, it will not affect the Rockefeller family. We should even thank her for stirring up waves on the already calm lake, but we must at least make an enemy of her to appease her opponents. She can create a space threat theory out of thin air in order to let the world accept new energy, so why can't we also create an infinite energy threat theory in order to prevent her from promoting new energy?"

One thing to say, when she delivered that speech at the Berlin conference, David was also surprised by the other party's remarks.

She really dared to poke her up.

David himself doesn't know much about aliens, but it is certain that aliens exist on Earth.

The universe is so big, why can't there be alien civilizations similar to humans?

No one can give an accurate number for the time of aliens on the earth, but they did exist very early, even from different civilizations in multiple galaxies.Most of them act as observers, pretending to be human beings living on the earth. For such a long time, few people have noticed them, and most of them who have the authority to know choose to cooperate with each other tacitly.

But Griffin has pierced this layer of window paper.

She showed the world that humans are not the only ones in the universe, and that there are other civilizations that are hostile to humans in the universe.She wants to use this to unite the loose human camp, and the moment after the end of the world war is an opportunity.Human beings have just let go of their mutual hatred, which is the time when the memory of the destruction caused by war is deepest. Faced with the theory of alien threat, it is very easy for the earth to unite to form a global alliance.

The United Nations may not be such an organization if it is run properly.

But how could those hostile forces sit still?No matter what the purpose is, the world is always full of people with different opinions. They know what is right and wrong better than anyone else, and they also know what choice is best for them.

Even if her approach is correct, they will object because of different positions.

And while she is promoting the vision of uniting mankind to the world, she will also arouse the vigilance of the aliens who are still on the earth, and may be regarded as a wrong signal of hostility.

So it is not too wrong to say that she is spreading threats.

David continued: "I admit that infinite energy has indeed brought a certain degree of improvement to the world's technology, but even without it, human technology can develop to a similar level in the future. The emergence of infinite energy has only accelerated this process. It’s just progress. What’s even more ‘frightening’ is that it is precisely because we have extracted infinite energy from the Rubik’s Cube that we have finally attracted the coveted eyes of alien civilizations.”

In this way, we can use this to respond to the petition initiative from our colleagues on Wall Street, and by the way, we can also give an explanation to the forces hiding behind this country... They are hiding behind the scenes just thinking about reaping the benefits of the fisherman, why should we be willing to be cannon fodder? Perfect them?

It is definitely not possible to ignore this matter like John, but there is no need to be as radical as Winthrop.

"Yes, that is the fact. It is the birth of infinite energy that has brought disasters to mankind. Otherwise, the universe is so vast, it would be impossible for aliens to know that there is such a civilization as the earth." Winthrop nodded repeatedly.That's a good reason to do it.

I don't know if he didn't hear the meaning of his younger brother's words, or if he has been attracted by the superficial words.In short, he was very much in favor of the conspiracy.

"So we shouldn't do it ourselves," Nelson said.He looked at David and asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

The birth of new energy will not only damage the interests of those who benefited from the old energy. Her identity and position also determine that she has many enemies.Even if her heart is for ordinary people, will those "new humans" who already have superpowers agree with her willingly?

PS: At this moment, my mind suddenly recalled the 8848 mobile phone advertisement...and its ghost animal video.

PS2: After writing so many words, the foreshadowing is almost done.I also know that the content of the chapters is sometimes very dry, but the logic must be cleared up first, and then the deduction can be started. If this step is missing, it always feels like something is missing.After the protagonist returns from Asia, many characters and plots can be explained.

PS1: In fact, I have also considered whether I should wait until the end of the book to simplify the foreshadowing in the middle and add some plots into it.

Volume 165.6: [-] Hiding behind the scenes and planning is what we should do

Society is a pyramid structure, without the ordinary people at the bottom, these people with superpowers will become the most mediocre bottom.And compared to ordinary workers with limited abilities, superpowers are more suitable as workers because of their better physical fitness and energy.

How can they, who also have the power to kill mortals, accept this?Now that ordinary people have not risen, they can still dispose of their privileged class at will. Once ordinary people obtain technology that can guard against them from infinite energy, they will no longer be afraid of them. It has completely lost its use value, and it is a dog that can be slaughtered for meat.

And those mutants, they always remember the persecution of Nazi Germany when they ruled Europe.Compared with the persecuted Jewish group and the superpowers who are used to freedom, the mutants do not want Germany to return to the world stage more than anyone else.

With so much cannon fodder, why do we need to do it ourselves?

But Nelson doesn't see these people as a threat to her.Mutants are no better than superpowers. It is precisely because of the uncontrollability of their abilities that they are targeted and dealt with not only in Germany, but also in the world.In order to survive, the mutants had to hide their abilities and lived carefully. Although they hated Germany, they couldn't really do any harm to it.

People with superpowers can still cooperate, but who would cooperate with a group of inhuman-looking creatures?

If you just encourage them to cause trouble, it is doomed to fail.

"It just so happens that I know someone. It's neither a superpower nor a mutant, but an...ordinary person." This question was already expected by David, and he quickly recommended an acquaintance. "Joseph McCarthy, I don't think this man is a stranger to you?"

"A glib speculator." Lawrence sneered.

Although McCarthy is just an ordinary Republican senator at this time, his ability to observe words and deeds and speculate has been recognized by the industry.But this is also very normal. Since he is involved in politics, it is a compulsory course to learn to be both right and left, but it is rare for him to jump up and down like a clown.

In Lawrence's eyes, McCarthy is a villain.In the Middle Ages, they were courtiers around the emperor.This kind of person is a sharp knife if it is used well, but it is easy to hurt yourself if it is not used well.

David has a different view on this. Although McCarthy is seven years older than himself, he treats him as if he is looking at a pawn that can be used. "Although his behavior is disgusting, such talents are needed right now."

"First of all, he is a Republican, and he is naturally hostile to the Truman Z government and the Democratic Party behind him. The two parties have a long history of disputes, but whatever one of them wants to implement will be overthrown by the other, and he is The most radical of the Republicans. Second..."

David explained the advantages of why this person is the best candidate. He is very happy to be a planner and enjoy the calmness of everything under control.

"Whether it's for political purposes or personal experience, he hates communism very much. Recently, he has a faint tendency to regard it as propaganda for his own political purposes. The behavior of the Guardians of the Universe Rubik's Cube to cooperate with the Soviet Union in order to revive Germany has already touched him. An anti-G nerve. The reason why there is no outbreak now is because there is still a lack of a suitable time. This time will come soon."

"Finally, as an ordinary person without superpowers, he is not easy to be retaliated by her. As a mortal, he can do things that harm her interests. After all... she is to 'protect the world's vast ordinary people. If she really did that, it would be a violation of her oath. A person with a broken superpower, under the guidance of the authoritative government, will be attacked by all the people. "

At that time, she was really dead without a place to bury her.

"To sum up, the guardian of the Rubik's Cube is not invulnerable." David finally concluded. "As long as she is defined as a sympathizer of the red camp, it is enough to undermine her new energy-led European revival in Europe, as well as the German revival plan."
