How did I become a villain

"Are there other screening criteria?"

This reminded the girl, she thought for a while, and further narrowed down the scope of screening. "Blonde or brown hair, born in a famous family, or an intellectual family, well-educated, preferably graduated from a prestigious school, dignified, virtuous, gentle and generous."

To give birth to a genius like Tony, the mother must also be an extremely intelligent person.Originally, she just needed to do nothing and let the situation develop and uncle would naturally find a partner, but since she chose to intervene, she had to carefully consider the woman's conditions.In case the Tony born is not Pitoni, can it be remade?

Listening to the screening criteria given by Griffin, Jarvis became more and more wrong.It's not that I'm just thinking wildly. Why does the tone of your description sound like you're introducing someone?

He was about to open his mouth to confirm the girl's purpose, when he saw the other party raised his hand in advance, and said first: "I know what you are thinking, but don't tell me if you see through, help me find a suitable candidate, and then tell me, I will take care of the rest .”

Just like I don't like my uncle messing up the mandarin ducks, my uncle probably doesn't like to lead the red line for him. Some things can't be explained in too much detail. I can only say that I understand everything, and I can't explain it if I don't understand it.

really!

Jarvis's horse had a look of enlightenment on his face.She said it so swearingly, isn't that the same as admitting that that's the case?The man nodded repeatedly, but he didn't know whether it was out of his niece's approval of his uncle's concern, or his affirmation that he was qualified for the job.

Anyway, he said, "Well, I'll keep an eye out for you."

In fact, he also has his own social circle. As a pure gentleman who immigrated from England, Jarvis has a family background in the upper class. He can be called Maria regardless of his real name or Christian name. This will help him find a suitable socialite. Lady offers more possibilities.

Although a high-quality man like Howard doesn't worry about being a woman, the other party doesn't care about his life's major events at all. This humanoid bulldozer seems to have not played enough. So far, he still often hangs out in various social occasions, and in many cases still Involve yourself to cover up for him.

I think Jarvis is innocent, I take care of my beloved wife internally, and maintain the employer’s estate externally. Not wronged?

Sometimes Jarvis also felt tired. If Howard could find a suitable partner and settle down from now on, he wouldn't have to face the women who came to him for an explanation every now and then, and would be beaten for the master.

Griffin's idea is very good. It can not only calm Howard, but also help himself out of the sea of ​​suffering.In this regard, Jarvis was very pleased to see that the uncle and nephew got close to each other through some trivial things.

It's just... this man has mostly ignored the real concerns.That is whether this matter was Howard's own will, and whether Griffin's behavior was instructed by Howard.

Jarvis didn't expect that the whole thing was Griffin's own decision, and because he was also tricked by Howard, he subconsciously took it seriously.Moreover, after all, this is a tacit agreement reached between the two in private. There is no written document to prove this, not even a verbal consensus. Once the situation is not as imagined, will Griffin betray him?

Given the girl's good reputation, Jarvis didn't think much about it, let alone think deeply about it.

Because Griffin looked so serious, and her appearance was somewhat deceptive, Jarvis easily chose to believe it.

After all... how can a girl who looks as cute as a cat have evil intentions?

Volume 245.1: [-] Obadiah successfully secured his seat

After fooling Jarvis into doing things for him, Griffin temporarily put aside one concern.S.H.I.E.L.D. has a floor in the United Nations building for office work, and there are special representatives responsible for daily affairs. In fact, Griffin does not need to be there to direct the work every day.But the girl still maintains the habit of coming here to work for half a day every morning, because in the afternoon it is the working time of Infinite Energy Company.

Although it is possible to work remotely in the UN building, this is a place to discuss world affairs after all. As far as Griffin's personal perception is concerned, it is better to go to the company to discuss company affairs.

As for the salary, whether it is the position of Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. or the chairman of Infinite Energy Company, she only receives half of the basic salary.But just like that, she still saved a large amount of gift money in her invisible coffers in the real world.

According to the company's regulations, the beginning of the year is the day when the company managers who are stationed in various places return to the headquarters to report their duties. If there is an important event and they cannot escape, they can also send company representatives to come.Unlimited Energy branches are distributed in Europe and Asia, and most of them are mainly concentrated in Europe. In addition to the annual summary meeting, Griffin will also spend some time interviewing each of them one by one and listening to them one-sidedly. One year outlook and plans.

Although the activities of these capitalists sound like a cloud to a person with limited knowledge, there is a professional team at the headquarters that will calculate and analyze them separately based on the reports. Out of instinctive vigilance against capitalists, Griffin especially likes to chew on words and confirm repeatedly.Although Howard is busy with scientific research and seldom manages things, she has plenty of time and mood.

If it is found that the report is too different from it, the managers of these branch companies may face the risk of being replaced or demoted.

Fortunately, these people are intimidated by Griffin's majesty, so they don't dare to do too much for the time being. Infinite Energy Company has performed well in the reconstruction of various parts of the world after the war, and there has not been any major corruption or failure. This is not the same as her Always emphasize that establishing a correct sense of honor and responsibility is inseparable.Griffin intends to improve the vision of the management, not only economically, but also spiritually to make them realize that they should have higher pursuits.

Compared with the big dye vat in Europe, the two heads of Japan and China, which are located in only two branches in Asia, are the focus of Griffin's attention.Amberson Osborne, who is in charge of the Japan area, will not mention it for the time being. Obadiah in the China area has always been operating under the nose of the girl. Since 1949, he has to take the initiative to report the current situation almost every week or two to deal with the real-time situation. Changed local situation.

On the surface, it seems that this is the final transfer and sale of the assets in the area by the headquarters in order to withdraw from the local market as soon as possible, but the actual situation is completely a cover-up.Obadiah's seemingly anxious behavior has actually been instructed by Griffin in advance.

Just when everyone was about to watch this bald man stumble and gloat over his misfortune, this man completed the transition from old to new regime through certain channels.He even cheated some foreign companies that were originally in a competitive relationship with Infinity Energy by making a fake show... a small number of foreign companies that insisted on fighting him to the end were finally taken back to the country.

Although the branch under the control of the new Z government lost all the land it bought and the various privileges that came with it, what it got in exchange was the first foreign company to enter the country under the new China.Obadiah himself has even been widely recognized by the leadership because of his timely rectification of the chaos and his noble consciousness of secretly supporting the new government.

Of course, his housekeeper Zhou contributed a lot to this, and now the relationship between the two can be described as brotherhood.

Originally, the situation that a large number of employees and management in the branch were foreigners changed after that. Obadiah took the opportunity to eliminate his opponents, and the vacated positions were handed over to the training staff in the northern bases behind enemy lines. Well the Chinese are in charge.As the only large-scale foreign company in China, although Obadiah's power has been dispersed and weakened, he has been recognized by the new Z government, trusted by Griffin himself, and fully supported by the headquarters.

It is certainly the result of his wisdom and decisiveness that he can continue to serve as the manager of the Chinese branch after the change of the old and new regimes. However, compared with the approval of the new Z government, Obadiah insists that it is more important to gain the trust of Griffin. as important.It was precisely because of the girl's trust and acquiescence that he let go and kept his current position.And Griffin also assured him that in the future, he will be responsible for unlimited energy operations in China.

Compared with Japan, which is only a province, look at the area here, what is it to let the new government intervene in the internal affairs of the branch?So what if the red party is placed inside to promote redism?His gain and value in the future will be much more than what he has lost now!

But at what cost?

Because Obadiah voluntarily surrendered the interests of the company to his class enemies, he was equivalent to a traitor in the eyes of some people in the West, especially after they failed to expect him to be exiled.Of course, this accusation may not be out of the jealousy of those capitalists because he monopolizes the trade with China.

After all, under the premise that the West refuses to recognize the new China, and without any wind direction to allow you to do so, you still dare to do business with them, and you will not hesitate to sell the company's interests for this. This kind of behavior is simply too much.Let him stay there every day, how much money our companies will lose.

Of course, not without applause for his audacity.At least from the side, it also shows that no matter how tense the relationship between countries is on the surface, people-to-people exchanges are still very active.Even the fact that the Truman Z administration in the United States did not choose to implement sanctions and restrictions on Infinity Energy's independent behavior because of this matter, the attitude of this is even more interesting.

The strong man Obadiah broke his wrist, not only regained his official position, but also gained trust. Compared with this, the price he paid is not worth mentioning.

But what about New China?They have obtained a set of fully equipped production workshops and future new energy talent reserves. Starting from scratch, they can even skip the research and development of old energy and directly take the route of efficient and clean new energy. They can even describe Infinite Energy's branch in China as Future heavy industry, or the high-tech Whampoa Military Academy.

Because of this, despite being a capitalist, Obadiah is still popular with local people.Because as long as he sits in this seat for a day, there will be a steady stream of raw materials transported to China.This is very important for a poor and white traditional agricultural country at this time.

Volume 245.2: [-] The New Situation in Asia

He has become a friend of foreign countries in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China—at least he thought so optimistically when he returned to the United States for a private interview with Griffin.

However, he himself is not satisfied with this. Although he is an important link to maintain the development of the two places, as long as there is an opportunity, Obadiah will take the initiative to expand more businesses that can prove his value.

He is like a squirrel who is always preparing for the winter, constantly hoarding all available materials, and like a pangolin who is good at digging holes, exploring various possibilities in the unknown field ahead.

Griffin already had an estimate of where Obadiah would be, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise when that goal comes true.

He has changed the fate of many people, and Obadiah is one of them. Griffin has more patience with this bald man than others.Because she also wanted to see how far this original super villain could go in the future.

"But there is one thing, which I think is the main problem in East Asia at present." Seeing that the communication atmosphere is gradually becoming harmonious with his perfect performance, Obadiah finally expressed his concern. "You may not know that the relationship between China and the Soviet Union has become more and more tense recently."

It may be unbelievable to say that the Soviet Union did not regard ZG as its own at the beginning. They recognized the Nanjing government. The air force and aid that supported the K war during the war were also directly delivered to Chiang.

But recognizing him as the sole leader of the country does not come without a price.

Inheriting the territory of the previous dynasty, the Soviet Union, which pursued the chauvinism of a great power, out of its own consideration of the interests of the Far East, not only required China to abandon its claim to Outer Mongolia and recognize its independence, but also required the Far East Fleet to station in Lushun Port to implement actual military operations on the grounds of protecting the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. control.In order to protect the supply and transportation lines of the Far East Fleet, China must also hand over the management and operation rights of the Middle East and South Manchuria Railways.

Obviously, the Soviet Union did not regard China as an independent and sovereign country. Only the Nanjing government at that time would agree to these actions that seriously damaged the sovereignty of other countries.

However, less than five years after the signing of the agreement, apart from the first article, the new China after its establishment took a firm stance on the issue of the Soviet Union’s garrison in China, the establishment of a joint fleet, and the military area of ​​the railway along the way, forcing the Soviet Union to finally abandon these issues from " The benefits obtained in the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance made Stalin very unhappy at this time.

But it’s okay to be unhappy. At this time, China has changed its appearance, and it is no longer the comprador class that promised in the past.And the United States began to contact the new China out of its own considerations. Truman did not impose sanctions on the independent behavior of Infinity Energy's branch in China, and even tacitly supported it as the most obvious signal.

Obviously, the United States wants to bring East Asia into its sphere of influence. What is this?This is stabbing in the heart of the Soviet Union.

Deeply aware of the crisis, Stalin could only pinch his nose and admit the legitimacy of the new regime even though he was extremely unhappy.Although some assistance has been given since then, this diplomatic setback has always been like a thorn in the heart of the bearded man, which is about to pop out from time to time.

As a big country, Stalin knew too well the background of a big country.The Soviet Union shared an energy core with Europe. He was also very aware of the gains and changes brought about by new energy sources. Of course, China at that time would not be allowed to receive assistance from the United States.Asia must be controlled in its own hands, and even the old continent should be controlled in the future.

In order to ease the pressure on the Far East, and for his own face, he must destroy the self-play between China and the United States and exclude the Soviet Union.

But at this time, the Soviet Union, which defeated fascism, was very weak, and they were unable to end in person. To achieve these goals, they had to support agents everywhere.

Stalin turned his attention back to other parts of the Far East. The Chinese were disobedient, and he desperately needed a new agent.

The result is obvious.

As early as in the Yalta Conference in 1945, the United States and the Soviet Union discussed the occupation of the Korean Peninsula several times regarding the opinions on how the victorious countries should deal with the defeated countries. In the end, the two countries established their own local regimes, with the 38° north latitude line as the boundary .But the proposition of a big country cannot be recognized by the North Korean people. The Koreans of the same language and race have such a strong desire to unify the peninsula. The only difference between them may be the question of who will unify the two regimes.

Especially after learning of the Pacific Defense Circle strategy proposed by the U.S. Secretary of State, Stalin, who believed that the U.S. would not interfere with the reunification of the Korean Peninsula, finally made up his mind and began to instruct the ambassador to North Korea, Shtykov, to meet with Kim R Sung in secret, willing to provide North Korea with all necessary support.While supporting his agent in the Far East, he can also recover the position he lost in China by the way.

According to Stalin's idea, if the reunification of the Korean peninsula is completed, then he can gain a better and more obedient vassal, and the Far East interests lost from China can also be made up in North Korea. A complete peninsula can also contain China from the east. The future development of great powers.

If China joins the war, it can also break the gradually easing relationship between China and the United States, isolate China diplomatically, and make it more dependent on itself.

As for failure?For example, what will happen if the peninsula is finally unified by South Korea?The bearded man thinks that this is nothing more than bringing China closer to himself.With the character of their leaders, will they still reach a settlement with the aggressive US emperor to deal with themselves?

So, Rabbit, don't stick with Eagle Sauce, come to the loving father, Papa Xiong.We can give you new energy that you don't have, and we will give more.

As the main battlefield of the game between the United States and the Soviet Union, North Korea at this time is more like an illegitimate child who is suddenly valued by his father. North Korea, on the brink, is flattered.

For more than half a century since Japan took control of North Korea in the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the Koreans have been living under the shadow of colonialism as de facto subjugated slaves. Now is the closest they have come to unification. Hearing that the Soviet Union is willing to support them, all they have to pay is It was just a few ports and included in the sphere of influence, Jin Chudai could no longer sit still.

Compared with South Korea, which was established by feudal and false emperors in the old era, North Korea should be the only political power with the most roots in this peninsula.

navy?North Korea has no navy.Military area?Since the Soviets would station troops in North Korea, they would also fight to protect their own interests.What about the sphere of influence?When did the Soviet Union treat its allies badly?

A big country has the idea of ​​a big country, and the survival rule of a small country is to follow the strong as closely as possible.Originally North Korea was China's sphere of influence, and the Qing court abandoned us unapologetically, and now we are just changing to a tributary suzerain.

Volume 245.3: [-] Oh, I already knew this

Kim Cho-dai, who received accurate information from the Soviet Union, even shouted excitedly in his office, "As long as it can help me unify the entire peninsula, I will give as much as the Soviet Union wants."

As for whether China will be dragged into the battlefield?Kim Chudai felt that as long as I attacked fast enough to occupy South Korea before the United States reacted, then these problems would not be a problem.Besides, this is my country's internal affairs, and China has no reason to interfere.

In terms of blood relationship, North Korea and South Korea are originally a family. You are allowed to unify, but I am not allowed to unify?In terms of production level, North Korea is an industrial zone, while South Korea is an agricultural zone, and industry has technological advantages over agriculture.

What's more, with a full set of Soviet-style equipment, these armed forces are stronger than China's today, how can it be possible to lose this battle?

The unification from north to south is my advantage.

To sum up, the situation on the Korean peninsula is getting more and more explosive under the multiple stimulations of the Soviet Union's conflagration, the United States' ignorance, China's indifference and North Korea's own growing self-confidence.

As a natural arms dealer, Obadiah keenly sensed the smell of war from the deteriorating relationship between the two countries. The reason why he played tricks at this time was that he actually wanted to get more support from the headquarters.

If the headquarters is willing to provide help, then he will not only hoard a large amount of strategic materials in the next few years, but it is expected to make the branch in China bigger and stronger, and it can also curb the development of other branches and further widen the gap.

As long as the headquarters supports my proposition, I can bring more benefits to the company.

After all, conflicts happen right at your doorstep, so you have to prepare for the worst, right?So it is completely reasonable for me to hoard resources.

As for the trade volume that drags down other branches... After all, there is only so much raw material supply, if I earn more here, you will definitely have less, isn't this normal.

Although it has not been confirmed, Obadiah has always believed that Griffin's composition is open to question. If she is not a communist, she is also a sympathizer or supporter of the communist party.

But what does this have to do with him?

Obadiah only wants to make money, to earn money from arms sales, as long as he can prove that his ability is not inferior to Howard and other branch leaders, who is he not to do business with?

Besides, hasn't she already shown similar tendencies?When she was lobbying around the world, her attitude towards the Soviet Union was already very clear.In Asia, why did she want to have trouble with Japan and insist on a public trial of the emperor?Are you still preparing for the later transaction?

He saw them, but never pointed them out.

As the cooperation between the two sides deepened, he and Griffin had long been tied up in interests.It's not good for him to betray her, and it's not certain whether he can succeed.

See through but don't tell the truth, since you don't take the initiative to tell the truth, I just pretend to be confused and don't know, let's get what we need in this tacit understanding, why not do it?

If Griffin is really a saint who wants nothing, then Obadiah will be afraid and worried, because that height is too far away from him, and he can't understand it at all.Now that he knows that the other party also has logical thinking that conforms to normal human beings, this somewhat reduces his fear.

Although the girl showed her identity as a human being many times, in Obadiah's view, she did not live like a human being most of the time.

Looking at Obadiah with a mysterious expression, as if revealing some terrible secret to himself, Griffin felt nothing in his heart.

I thought you could come up with some high-level theories, but you don't know as much as I do.Not only is the relationship between China and the Soviet Union delicate, you probably also know that the Soviet Union began to support the reunification of Korea, but do you know when the war will start?Once fighting, how much time do you have to convert these resources into strategic materials?Just rely on the few factories that China has just started?

Instead of sending more raw materials, Griffin prefers to send finished products directly.It is useless to transport from the headquarters alone, and other branches must be connected together to meet this demand.

This bald guy can't catch the point if he pleases himself.

Obadiah thought that Griffin was far away in the United States, and he was not as clear as he was about the situation in Asia. However, the girl did not show the expected reaction to the information he mysteriously provided.Even... pretty bland.

"Have you found out such an important secret?" She glanced at the other party calmly, and the girl was disappointed by his pretentious gesture. "But what's your purpose in mentioning this to me? Now that the relationship between the two countries is deteriorating, can you be sure that there will be no turning point in the future? Or, do you have a way to drive a wedge between the two countries and win over this new ally for the United States?"

Infinity Energy's support for trade with China is only out of my own private thoughts, not for the purpose of making a wedding dress for the United States.

If he hadn't seen Griffin's expressionless face expressing his dissatisfaction with his thoughts, he would have almost nodded and said yes.And her calm reaction also made Obadiah realize that she had her own information channel here in Asia, which made him even more afraid to act rashly.

"As an ordinary manager of Unlimited Energy Company, I don't have the ability to facilitate this." Obadiah, who knew that the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg, quickly shook his head.

It's not that he doesn't want to go further, with his current ability, facing the current situation is already the limit, not to mention that his identity is not suitable to play the role of middleman in it.

He rubbed his hands, and said obediently, "You understand what I mean, I just want to get more support. I can't let Osborne compare me."

Seeing the bald man's flattering expression, Griffin rolled his eyes in his heart.

Although the Japanese region that Osborn is in charge of is only the size of your province, its industrial foundation is much better than yours, and of course it will recover quickly.

"You have so many demands. Even if I invest all my resources in you, can you guarantee that the current production capacity can transform them into actual strength?"

The current state of the country is already at its limit. Instead of entangled in the resource orientation of the headquarters, it is better to train more professionals in professional positions, focus on digesting what is in front of you, and then consider expanding the scale of the industry.

Griffin's refusal made him a little surprised, but after calming down and thinking for a while, Obadiah seemed to understand her intention again.

He realized that he had committed the old problem of insatiable desires again.

He fought a beautiful turnaround from a deadly situation, which shocked everyone who wanted to see a good show. Now he owns the huge market in China, and his foundation is much better than other branches.As long as we concentrate on development, the future potential is huge.

All this is seen by others.Now that I am asking for the full support of the headquarters, this will inevitably arouse the jealousy and hostility of other branches.

Griffin seemed to reject himself, but he was actually protecting him.

Volume 245.4: [-] Conversation with Osborne

However, Griffin didn't have this kind of thought. She just didn't want Obadiah to see her mind and be coerced by her accuracy, so she deliberately showed moodiness.If she knew Obadiah's self-moving, she would definitely sigh that you have a lot of drama.
