So Griffin rejected the proposal on the grounds that "the headquarters will not make adjustments to the existing plan in the near future, and a sudden increase in transportation volume will also attract the vigilance of others."

Obadiah can only make adjustments based on existing resources, but fortunately, there is relatively large room for fluctuations.

But the real situation is definitely not what she said, and she won't stand idly by in a real fight.

After seeing off the fat and bald man who could still work better than himself, Griffin took a break and met the next person in charge—Amberson Osborne of Infinite Energy's Japanese branch.

Different from the Sino-Soviet relationship mentioned by Obadiah, Dr. Osborn learned about the changes in the situation in East Asia from the local Japanese and the US troops stationed in Japan.He gathered the collected information and handed it over to Griffin.

"...if diplomacy fails, force is the last resort," Amberson said. "Are we going to be involved?"

After reading the assessment report, Griffin did not answer this question directly, but first asked: "Doctor, are you an arms dealer?"

Amberson originally started out in chemistry and biopharmaceuticals. After regaining the support of the Stark Group to make a comeback, Amberson is now more inclined to the construction industry and real estate. If he has the opportunity to be an arms dealer, he doesn't mind making money. Some pocket money.

The reason why he doesn't mind part-time arms deals is mainly because he doesn't want to give up the penetration of Japan's military industry. The foundation left by these Japanese consortiums can be regarded as solid. Even if the majority of the interests are taken by the US government, the rest is enough for him to practice.Anyway, things don't belong to him, so it doesn't hurt to lose them all.

Another point is that that guy Obadiah is always jumping up and down on the mainland, relying on the support of the headquarters to be very high-profile, and he is not so polite to his colleagues.Not only Amberson, but managers of many branch companies are unhappy with him.It is unacceptable for him to let such a thing step on his head.

Amberson thought for a moment and shook his head honestly. "You know, President, I'm not an expert in this field. At best, I'm just a district leader who wants to expand his business and improve himself. Please allow me to boldly make guesses and plans for the company's future. In the future, it should not only be used as a benchmark in the civilian field, and if it develops like this for decades, it will only fall into a situation where it cannot innovate and lives on its own capital in the future.”

"Since the company is still young and in the rising stage of development, we should extend our business to various fields. Don't you always say that new energy will replace old energy? If we don't have enough foundation, what will we do in the future? Stand up to those diehards?"

As expected of a capitalist, if you want to fulfill your own selfishness, you have to use such a beautiful excuse.Griffin does not reject this kind of aggressiveness. It is worth encouraging that some people in the company are unwilling to reconcile with the status quo and want to explore new areas.

New energy contains infinite possibilities. Amberson's advantage lies in his identity as a biotechnologist. He can use unlimited energy for the pharmaceutical industry.If he can make good use of energy technology and develop specific medicines for intractable diseases, his name will go down in history.

Isn't this higher than that of Obadiah, who is devoted to the military industry and develops bigger and stronger weapons?

"You haven't answered me yet, are you an arms dealer?"

Griffin wasn't so easy to fool, she didn't want ambiguous answers, she wanted accurate information.

Sensing the subtle change in the girl's tone, Amberson took a deep breath and said, "Of course not. Compared to this, I am better at the field of science and technology."

She asked again: "Is there any spare equipment in Japan?"

Except for those that were destroyed and sold at a low price after the war, even factories in Japan were dismantled. Where did the inventory come from?

"I know some... entrepreneurs there," Amberson went on to explain. "For socializing, I always have to meet some local people, and they used to do this."

Hmm... In other words, this is the instigation of a group of bankrupts who are unwilling to let their old businesses go to waste and seek a comeback?But Amberson's resurgence is Howard's support and Griffin's needs, which doesn't mean you can do it too.

Though mentally rejecting the offer, Griffin doesn't intend to exclude this group.Once the war starts, MacArthur will eventually choose to rearm Japan. This is a national strategic deployment. She cannot change the views of the United States, at least she can make some changes in Japan.

Griffin is not very worried that this move will reignite militarism. Even Hirohito has been tried and served his sentence. This group of people should understand that repeating the same mistakes is tantamount to a dead end.

What she cares about is the direction in which the production capacity of these mobilized military factories will be used. If the new energy is finally used to launch illegal wars, it is her fault.

This group of people definitely not only want to restore the military industry and their past power, but also want to tie new energy to a military chariot. After that, what they should do is nothing more than infiltration and parasitism, until it is difficult to give up.Instead of letting these careerists end up cheapening the Five-Star Emperor and the US government behind him, it is better to control them in their own hands.

After all, in some respects, these are talents in the professional field.

But this matter cannot be left to Amberson.Just because Stark and himself owe him a debt of gratitude doesn't mean he'll give him unconditional loyalty.

She has to find another suitable person to take over Japan's military-industrial oligarchy. This person has to trust her, but not betray her.

Obadiah is naturally excluded first, and his current strength is strong enough.Fu Dongbei was willing to help him. His background made him do so, but he was not familiar with Japan.

Then add a Mrs. Gao who is familiar with Japan?Didn't she always want to make Japan a place that only obeys her orders?It just so happens that she still has some keel remains in her hand, so let's take this as a meeting gift.

At least in this war, Japan's military manufacturing industry must fully support China, and what will happen after that depends on Fu Dongbei himself.

On the surface, Obadiah undertakes the training and technical production of new energy talents, and secretly, Fu Dongbei provides basic support with regular delivery of weapons and ammunition. This will not only make China feel its goodwill, but also improve the relationship between China and Japan. Paving the way for future cooperation.

After mastering the two lines of light and darkness, Griffin can feel a little more relieved.

Volume 245.5: [-] Emperor Mai asked me to bring a message

At this time, Amberson was still waiting for Griffin's answer. He was not sure how the other party would react to the company's involvement in the arms trade.

"I'm not particularly suggesting, doctor, that you get involved in areas you are not good at. You have to deal with the company's daily management and research pharmaceuticals. How much time do you have to spend on other things? Who is the final person in charge?" The girl spread her hands, asked rhetorically. "So, why are we involved?"

What she wants to express is very clear. The Japanese have ulterior motives. The water is very deep here. I am worried that you will not be able to grasp it.So listen to my advice, professional things should be handled by professional people.

Amberson, who had already sensed her attitude, after hearing the exact answer, gave up this temporary idea and said: "You are right, then... I will reject them when I go back?"

"This is your business." Unmoved by the doctor's hint, the girl changed to a more comfortable sitting position and turned her attention to the cup in her hand.

"I understand."

Following this attitude, the two entered the discussion on the next topic.

"In addition to this matter, there is another matter I asked you about the Allied Forces Command in Japan..." After paying attention to Griffin's face, he continued: "MacArthur has learned Aware of the unstable situation in North Korea, he asked me bluntly, would Infinite Energy’s branch in Japan be willing to provide the necessary support for all his subsequent actions?”

A question mark gradually appeared on the girl's head.

...Which song is this singing again?

From Lao Mai's tone, is he preparing for intervention?But does it really matter if such an important secret is revealed like this?

Has he swelled to this point?

That's right, he dared to interfere in the peninsula without unlimited energy. With new energy technology, he feels that the advantage lies with me.Walking alone and provoking again and again wears down Truman's patience in all directions. This courage is not ordinary.

But are you mistaken?I started a company in Japan, not to make wedding dresses for you.

It should be said that their cooperative relationship ended after Hirohito was tried, and the opening of a branch in Japan was only the fulfillment of the previous agreement.Why, according to what he means, does this mean that he is relying on me as a permanent ally by default?

"I have made it clear from the very beginning of the establishment of Infinite Energy that we will not support and participate in any military-related industrial investment. This includes providing logistical security for the initiator of the war of aggression. In my opinion, this cannot be done Tolerated." Griffin said word for word, and waved his hand with an unquestionable look. "Just tell him so clearly."

You can say this kind of thing very happily, but can I say it like this?

Amberson hesitated: "Will it offend him if you do this?"

After all, the other party is the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Japan, and the company's business in Japan will be difficult to develop after turning against him.

"Why is he upset?" Griffin looked at him with question marks in his eyes.If you don't do this, you haven't thought about offending me? "Infinity Energy Company is not his vassal. We can stand out from so many competitors and take root in Japan. This achievement comes from our own efforts and practical needs. He just proposed a plan to rebuild Japan's economy after the war It’s just a book, and the content inside is not necessarily written by him.”

Why does he interfere with the decisions we make for the company's own interests?The current scale of the company is entirely run by ourselves. He doesn't think he can handle us with just a piece of paper, right?

The bases of the Allied Forces stationed in Japan can at most play the role of a backing company for foreign investment, but don’t forget that the backing behind the military bases also includes the country and the economy.So, Infinity Energy has half the power to decide whether to be your parent, not you. Do we understand?

"Besides, our cooperation with him has always been clear on the books, and there is no such thing as who owes whom. We are an equal cooperative relationship, not his vassal. If he wants to confiscate the company's property in Japan through violence, we It will make him unable to stay in Japan first."

Good guy, this president is really not polite to MacArthur at all, he said everything that should be said and should not be said.

"That's not the case." Amberson shook his head. "Our industry in Japan is authorized by the U.S. government."

It can be said that the Stark Group accounted for the bulk of the reconstruction project in Japan, and the Stark Group was a project that was explicitly tendered from the US government. If MacArthur wanted to start a company, he would be slapping Truman in the face, and Truman would be the first to let it go he.

In fact, Amberson didn't like this domineering general either, he was too self-righteous.Didn't you see, when I left Japan, he summoned me with a high-spirited look.

Of course, as a well-educated entrepreneur, Amberson would not speak ill of the other party behind his back, but he saw his self-satisfaction in his eyes.

He is also the young father of the Japanese people after the war and the presidential candidate of the Republican Party. MacArthur is so close to the peak of power. How can a person who likes to talk about ostentation and a frequent visitor to the news media keep a low profile?

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, the act of asking for the support of Infinite Energy Company is more like a support for the former partner, or...a charity?

Whatever it was, Griffin decided to throw some cold water on him.Don't think that killing an elite monster together is an acquaintance, we are not that familiar.

"In addition, you can tell him another sentence for me: If he still wants to challenge the next president, as an ally who buried Japanese fascism together, I sincerely remind him not to interfere in the war situation on the peninsula, so as not to ruin his reputation for a lifetime. "

Amberson took a subconscious breath.

What you said is not persuading, and you even said bluntly that it is a fire. It seems to be admonishing, but every sentence hurts people. It is conceivable how angry MacArthur will be after hearing this. , I'm afraid that the more things he is not allowed to do, the more he will do them.

Amberson didn't really want to touch this kind of thankless spreading of the word.

The doctor said very tactfully: "This... I'm afraid it won't have the desired effect."

Griffin also knew that MacArthur would not listen to what he said now, but all she wanted was a statement.The girl shrugged indifferently, and said nonchalantly, "Never mind him. Anyway, I've persuaded him."

You don't need to face the girl face to face to guess the expression of the five-star emperor when he hears his heartfelt words.Cursing oneself for "betrayal" and viciously cursing oneself is an understatement.But the destructiveness of vulgar language is basically zero, and Griffin doesn't care at all.

Volume 245.6: [-] Take a break

"But why don't you look at him?" Amberson asked curiously.MacArthur's reputation is now in full swing. As a general, soldiers are obviously more willing to accept such a star command.After all, he graduated from a prestigious school and is a veteran with many years of war experience.Besides, he's up against North Korea...and China.

Dr. Osborn did not forget that during the war, the Chinese army's performance in the face of the Japanese army was so hip. Even if MacArthur suffered a certain degree of setbacks, most of the final impact would be whether the triumphant victory was good or not.

But after he said his thoughts, he saw Griffin shaking his head in disapproval.

In the waves of blond hair, the girl said leisurely: "From the past record of his command, those who should win can win, and those who should lose will also lose; those who are sure to win will lose, and those who must lose He can't win either. As a general, how does he compare with other five-star generals? How does he compare with ordinary generals?"

MacArthur is a general, and the only thing worth showing off is his time in the army. It seems untrue to award five stars and tie with other colleagues.His record is so ordinary, why do you think he can perform differently this time?

To be honest, for me, he is no longer useful. If he insists on going his own way, waiting for him is a disastrous defeat and complete retirement from both the military and political circles.This is good news for unlimited energy companies in Japan and even Asia.

The girl's answer caused Amberson to fall silent for a moment, and then he stopped talking.

That being said, it doesn't seem like anything special.

"I don't think he will listen to your advice."

Griffin was not surprised at all. "Of course he won't."

People are counting on making another glories in this war. How could he listen to him being told that he will fail at this time?In order to achieve his goal, do you believe that he will take the initiative to ask the South Korean side to intensify the conflict?

It was afternoon when the meeting ended.

"If that's the case, I won't bother you." Seeing the girl's sleepiness, Amberson took the initiative to leave in a very gentlemanly manner.

He already has the support he wants from headquarters.

But before leaving, the doctor inadvertently mentioned: "It will be my family's anniversary in a few days. I wonder if the Osborne family will be honored to invite you? Of course, I have invited other friends too. Howard will be there too."

So, this is just a high society social dinner?

Griffin didn't think much, and nodded casually.

As soon as she returned to the office, she slumped on the boss chair, as if her body had been hollowed out.Skadi made a cup of restorative tea and brought it to the table silently.

"Well, thank you." Holding the teacup, he took a sip, maybe it was brewed by the beautiful girl herself, and the tiredness disappeared in an instant. "It's just ordinary tea, but it always has a magical effect from your hands. Is this magic from Jotunheim?"

The ice girl blushed and shook her head with a smile.

Griffin continued on his own: "There are actually many things about human beings. As far as I have come into contact, most of them are mundane things, such as the company's operations, the future of S.H.I.E.L.D. Policing and interspecies animosity and massacres, but just the mundane stuff is draining me."

The girl didn't have any special thoughts when she said this, but Skadi still walked around the boss's table very thoughtfully, and came to her to reach out.The slightly cool fingertips pressed against Griffin's temples and gently kneaded them.

Griffin couldn't help but let out a trembling sound from the comfort of pressing from her head. She squinted her eyes like a cat, and retracted the hand that was supposed to be raised to stop it.With Skadi's massage, the toes hidden in the high heels also curled up a little bit.

The girl let out a comfortable hum, and along with the refreshing sound of purring, some dreamy words also blurted out.

"But there is no way, I am already in this position, and I have to make some achievements to meet this status. Who let me get the Cosmic Rubik's Cube? If I don't do something for this world, I feel like I'm eating for nothing So much suffering."

"Human beings are divided into regions and gathered together by countries to safeguard the interests of the group. They manipulate public opinion to create conflicts for their own purposes, just as some elderly people always like to occupy the status of elders and point fingers at young people. I It’s not that this idea is bad, it’s just that they can definitely raise it to a higher level.”

Scotty tilted his head.

"Tell me, are they really willing to listen to me?"

"If I don't catch them with visible benefits, are they willing to follow me unconditionally for an untouchable ideal?"

"Human beings, there are too many short-sighted people, and too few long-sighted people."

"If I got the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and voted for the Soviet Union, would the situation be different now? Maybe we are still fighting? In order to fight for the ownership of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, the two sides will definitely fight to the last breath. In that way, we But the sin is serious, how many people will die because of me?"

"The key is not the number of people, but this kind of behavior, which is not worth advocating."

"I love peace so much, and I don't want to see others showing embarrassment. It has nothing to do with race, it's just pure sympathy for the weak and empathy."

"So I always feel that my empathy ability is too strong, and I can't get rid of this problem even if I want to. There is no way. The only advantage of me is that my heart is too soft. The only shortcoming is also my heart is too soft."

"Will anyone like this kind of powerful, but sensitive and fragile person? Will this love change because of identity, gender, race and skin color?"

Skadi didn't say a word, but used gentle movements to relieve the blond girl from the accumulation in her head.Griffin didn't expect her to answer either. In addition to telling himself and Skadi, he also told another non-human creature.

They weren't the only two in this room.

Massage is a technical job, and Skadi is self-taught. It may also be because Griffin is not very picky about the professionalism of massage.In short, the girl felt that the troubles that were squeezed in her head disappeared.

If at this time the wife pinches herself from the inside with her soul, it will be double the joy.

However, Zeppelin did not intend to do as she wished, and even raised question marks, not only doubts about Griffin's sudden confession, but also doubts about this kind of internal and external attack.

"Thank you, it's ok, I feel much better." The girl finally stopped Skadi's behavior in time before she was urgent to urinate.When he left the seat and went to the bathroom, he said to the silver-haired girl, "I'm going to take a rest in the afternoon. Let them talk about something tomorrow."
