How did I become a villain

Am I being tricked by this girl again?If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come with me... No, now many people know that we often act together, and even if I don't come, the bill will be sent to my house.

So is that also in your calculations?soy Mujer.

Griffin shook his head. "The navy is now in the most difficult time. Even if the warship is parked in the port area, it costs money every day. How could I make such an embarrassing request at an inopportune time?"

Volume 111.2: [-] Caring for the Elderly Ship Spirits

After hearing this, Howard couldn't help but put his hands on his hips.

Co-author, you also know that your own requirements are difficult to be human!

Forrest glanced at Howard, and said to Griffin: "Son, I don't want to block your mouth with illusory promises, I can only try my best to help you operate. You must know that what you want to keep is not the one you said at the beginning. Instead of three aircraft carriers, we have a complete system and process for the decommissioning of warships, and your proposal is not without precedent. But so far, no one has proposed to pay for the refitting costs of the three aircraft carriers after they are decommissioned. This...is not in line with the rules."

"We don't have any extra expenses to maintain these heroes. This is a difficult decision. Which ships need to be preserved, there are very few places given above, and you will go to three, so I say it is difficult. Because You are not the only one who has feelings for certain ships, but also those generals. They all hope that the warships with their special memories can last forever, and transforming them into museum ships is the best solution.”

The most direct way to fight for interests is to describe a very simple thing very difficult.

How could Griffin not see this?

"Your concerns are not unreasonable, Your Excellency. But please don't tell me that, except for the Mariana, the Enterprise and Saratoga are completely ignored. You know the contribution they made on the Pacific battlefield Well, I am not the only one who wants to save them. Compared with them, I am more concerned about the Mariana that came to North America with me, and the main reason I want to ask you for help is her. As for the other two ships Aircraft carrier, I am willing to make up for the remaining part out of consideration of humanity and the development of a good long-term cooperative relationship with the Navy." Griffin couldn't help laughing, and she spread her hands. "You see, it's so simple and clear that I don't think there's such a thing as 'difficult'."

I only said that I hope these three aircraft carriers will be decommissioned, but I didn't promise to pay all the refitting costs by myself.

I will not shirk what needs my work and effort, and I will not get involved in what is not my responsibility.

Forrest read the meaning between the words.He collected his expression and said, "Let's be honest, you're not the first to propose retiring active-duty ships to save Navy money. Each of the previous decommissioning lists included the Enterprise and the Saratoga. Especially the Enterprise, even Nimitz wants to save it, the crews serving on the ship are trying to find ways to raise funds, but there are still quite a few shortfalls. As for the Saratoga, its funding gap Bigger. Although it is an aircraft carrier, it has fallen far behind in performance compared to the later Essex class. As an old-fashioned warship with constant problems, the Ministry of Defense believes that it has no value of preservation and prefers for other purposes."

The other uses you mentioned, shouldn't it be Operation Crossroads?If not, who knows where this colorful atoll is.

"Is there any way to get the bosses of the Ministry of Defense to take back their orders? During the time I worked with Saratoga, I liked this aircraft carrier very much."

If you have to ask why, it is because this aircraft carrier is called CV-3.

Both Langley and Lexington have been sunk, and Saratoga is the big sister of the US aircraft carrier.

Hearing Griffin's childish voice, Howard couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.

It started, and that familiar feeling came again.

Although the opening remarks are different every time, he can always get them in time, which is considered a wonderful special ability.

But he didn't say anything to stop him, and his money didn't come from a strong wind. If the navy wants to take his money, there must be a justifiable reason.

"You should ask, as a member of the Navy, what can you bring to the Navy first?" The United States is indeed the largest concentration of capital on the earth, and Forrest is an old capitalist from the very beginning. "Fuel additives are indeed useful, but it is not enough to form a stable income. Maybe it will help a lot after everything stabilizes in the future, but its importance is not that high now, and it can only save a small share of expenses. The current embarrassing situation of the Navy. If we want to change the status quo, we must let the Navy rise again. In other words, we should make the United States re-aware of the importance of the sea.”

If the two wars had not been protected by the ocean, how could the United States have stayed out of the battlefield and made great war fortunes between the two warring parties?Isn't the reason why the flames of war did not reach the mainland because of the vast ocean and powerful navy in front?

Those idiots in Congress now think that the Navy can become less important when the war is over, which is obviously wrong.

In the final analysis, the army should not have taken over a complete Japan in the first place. With the existence of this large airport, it is completely possible to cover the airspace of Asia. Now voices advocating the uselessness of aircraft carriers have begun to emerge again.

Sometimes Forrest thinks, why did two atomic bombs make you surrender the [-] million jade fragments that were agreed at the beginning?Keep going.

Griffin slowly raised his hand. "Forgive me, Your Excellency, what is your solution to this situation?"

In this regard, Forrest seems to have a plan.

"I intend to present to Congress a plan to build a supercarrier. We cannot allow the Army and Air Force to bully the Navy. We must fight back."

This is not only what he meant, but also what the admiral faction meant.The other military services cannot be the only ones to develop new equipment, and the navy should follow suit. If they do not fight, the military expenditures that originally belonged to the navy will be assigned to other military services.Before long, the Navy will be completely forgotten.

This is something that Forrest, who is the Minister of the Navy, cannot tolerate. He cannot watch the glorious Great White Fleet be destroyed in his own hands.

I didn't realize that you, Forrest, are so bloody as a civil servant.

This is to go against everyone and stand on the opposite side of everyone. For the president, what is the difference between such an act and a declaration of war?

Your painstaking efforts to maintain the status of the navy may only backfire.

"You mean, when the navy is about to be completely surrounded and denounced, you still have to choose to confront all forces?" Griffin shook his head.You really have been fighting for a long time, don't you know what your surname is?

Hearing this, Forrest was expressionless, but sighed inwardly.

I don't know it's against me, but do I have a choice?The land and air forces are aggressive, and the new rocket service is also eyeing.Backing off would be seen as weakness, and it would only destroy the centripetal force that the generals and I had managed to gather.

Volume 111.3: [-] Sales of Fuel Additives Succeeded

This is an anti-navy coalition headed by the army. It is a test before a full-scale attack launched by the anti-navy alliance that has long occupied the top spot in the United States' military budget. Even Li Mei, the air force general who made Tokyo people BBQ Let it be said that "the navy is our enemy".

Speaking of this, Forrester was very angry.

What kind of grudge does labor have against you?Why do you play with your long-range bomber and even bomb the navy?If you have the ability, don't take off the B25 from the aircraft carrier.

Being bullied to this extent, as the spokesperson of the navy, can Forrester do nothing?

"Do you have a better way?" The Secretary of the Navy asked back. "Even now that the war is over, the generals of the army still can't understand the significance of the aircraft carrier. They even want to separate the HNA from the navy and merge with the army to form a new air force. Little do they know that without the sea base of the aircraft carrier, they Where can we find enough fuel and staging points to cross the Pacific Ocean?"

Are there few examples of a country's decline due to the competition for power among the military services?Why don't these army gray bastards understand?

It's really sunny and the rain has stopped, you think you can do it again, don't you?

Both Griffin and Howard looked a little unnatural.

Speaking of fuel, infinite energy can increase endurance.If the dose is increased, it is not impossible to fly across the Pacific Ocean in a single plane.

But Griffin can raise her hands and swear to the sky, she didn't hand over this technology to Lu Hang, so she must be innocent.

But someone else...

"The generals of Army Aviation have approached me and asked me to provide aircraft engines and special fuel for long-distance voyages." Howard said frankly. "But even if I can satisfy them with both, it's a question of whether the pilots will be able to fly for very long periods of time. Unless they don't want pilots."

With the current voyage, it is ridiculous for the Air Force to think that it can do it alone without the Navy. Even birds will land one day, but where can they land on the ocean?

Griffin slowly expressed her thoughts: "The abolition of the Navy is the need of the development of the times, and it cannot be justified by reason alone. The role of aircraft carriers as mobile fortresses at sea has been practiced over the years. People on Capitol Hill will not Can't see it, but they still choose to weaken the navy. The reason is that our existence threatens the proportion of other services. This is not a single army or air force. We have to face all camps except the navy, including The interest groups behind them. It is obviously unwise to insist on rejecting disarmament at this time."

"My opinion is that since disarmament is an unstoppable trend, instead of sealing up and dismantling these redundant warships, it is better to find a way to find a better home for them. Either lease or resell them to other countries in exchange for funds and supplies to reduce the logistical pressure on the navy. And in order not to become a target of public criticism, we should also take the initiative to reduce the excessively high budget in previous years.”

"The closed fist is to fight more powerfully next time, and the facts will prove that our decision is correct. As long as a country has a coastline, it cannot do without a navy. One day, the bigwigs on Capitol Hill will really understand this. reason."

After saying this, the girl once again looked directly into the eyes of the Minister of the Navy across the table. "I don't think you can't think of these methods, Mr. Minister."

The current U.S. Navy is not only a threat to other military services in the United States, but also a threat to the world.What Griffin wants to keep is only the main warships mainly Zeppelin, and she should not worry about other warships without ship spirits.But she will not let go of the opportunity to express her thoughts.

If it is in China's interest to weaken the US Navy, she will certainly do so.

The atmosphere in the room completely quieted down with Griffin's last note.For a long time, no one in the room spoke again.

until……

"Ding—" the landline in front of the desk suddenly rang.

Forrest picked up the phone, and after a few words he put it down. "As soon as General Nimitz comes over, I won't keep you guys."

After the order to evict guests was issued, the uncle and nephew stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving the Pentagon, Howard took out his sunglasses from his coat pocket and put them on, and said casually, "Your statement doesn't seem to have the desired effect?"

Griffin also took out the same style of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on coolly. The outdoor wind blew up the messy hair on his forehead, revealing the girl's broad forehead.

"No, he has listened to it."

It's not a three-year-old child, how can it be possible to do things only based on preferences?Doesn't he understand the truth that even he understands?

He just didn't want to admit it.But in the end it has to be admitted.

Howard asked in a low voice: "Tell me, can you create a storage space as large as a battleship by using the power of the original space stone?"

If it is possible, the Navy can save all ships.If this space is completely still, wouldn't the things in it be preserved for as long as you want?

"If they are willing to pay high royalties." Griffin did not deny this possibility.

She does have this ability, but the question is why do she do it?In order to make the United States forever number one in the world?In order for them to arm themselves and conquer others faster than other countries when necessary?

Come on, I'm not American.

If I did this to the Navy, what about the other services?What about other countries?

"In that case, it's better to dismantle it all." Howard pouted.

Didn't the navy have to decommission warships in large numbers because they didn't have so much money?

"Mr. Stark, please stay." A clerk chasing after him stopped the two who were about to get into the car. "According to the order of Secretary Forrester of the Navy, I will contact the two about the procurement project of the Navy's fuel additives."

The two looked at each other, and the girl stretched out her hand. "Men first."

"Thank you, you only think of me when you pay for it." Howard's resentful tone was full of sweetness.

He invited people to board the car together.

"I have always believed that there are three states in which a man is most handsome: when he is silent, when he is concentrating, and... when he is paying." Griffin said as he sat in the passenger seat, leaving the back seat for the two men .Turning his head, seeing Jarvis looking at him, he said, "I'm already 15 years old, I can sit in the front."

"I was just about to ask if I need a baby chair for you." Jarvis shook his head and started the car.

The girl was amused. "That's not gentlemanly at all."

"So uncle, am I so handsome in your eyes?" Howard, who thought he had all three things, was in a happy mood.Said to the clerk next to him: "Let's talk about business in a 'gentlemanly' way."

Book I: 112.1 Obadiah's Temptation

There is no need to go into details about the specific process. After some discussions, the Navy finally decided to order special fuel additives for a long time, and Griffin's small coffers were enriched a lot.

Another week or so later, towards the end of February, finally came the good news from the Navy.

In response to the current disarmament plan, the last cabinet secretary of the Navy, Forrest, decided to decommission the warships in batches in order to reduce the explosive military expenditure.The list of the first batch of decommissioned warships includes the Saratoga and the Enterprise, while the renamed Earl Zeppelin is temporarily not on the decommissioning list.

Griffin's speech was not useless, at least it made Forrest understand the current embarrassing situation of the Navy, even children know it.What they should do most is not head-on, but low-key behavior.

But it is not easy for the naval generals who are used to publicity to return to the low-browed state before the war, especially when other services are still adding fuel to the fire.

This is not something Griffin can participate in and worry about.

However, Griffin did not relax. Retirement does not mean peace of mind. If sufficient funds for reconstruction cannot be raised, the two ships will eventually usher in the fate of nuclear explosion or dismantling.

Fortunately, there are enough naval officers and soldiers serving on these two warships, and some of them are veterans who have served on these two ships successively.Hearing that the two ships were decommissioned, they both organized foundations and clubs to raise funds for their former wives.Halsey even took out his salary to save the two boat wives.

Since the funds invested in the early stage have not yet flowed back, Griffin can only verbally pledge a part of the donation, agreeing to remit [-]% of the company's first batch of expected earnings into the fund-raising accounts opened for the two ships.While Obadiah took issue with her money-throwing behavior that saw little return, she ultimately didn't voice her disapproval.

Because soon Griffin took out the samples of the prosthetic limbs. Compared with the previous ones at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, they have improved a lot in terms of appearance and function.

"Let's formally produce it according to this style."

"I will personally send the sample to Dr. Osborn. You have done a great deed, Griffin, and those disabled people will regard you as a goddess." Oba looked at the prosthesis as if seeing countless gold Daya quickly put the previous dissatisfaction behind him.

"Let them live better and create value for themselves and the world is the greatest gratitude to me." The girl's face after hard training is basically immune to general praise. "Compared with the first batch, the feedback speed of bioelectricity has been increased, and some objects that are too heavy can also be picked up. The premise is that it cannot exceed the limit that a person can bear."

"What if the wearer chooses to be a porter or something?" Obadiah asked. "The slogan we promote is to enable all disabled people to live like normal people, and these physical tasks should also be taken into consideration."

It's really strange, as a capitalist, you actually care so much about people's livelihood?

Griffin gave him a slightly surprised look.

However, this possibility does not exist.It is enough for ordinary people as long as they can act as usual, but some people are born with a heart that transcends themselves.

So she explained it patiently. "In principle, I don't agree with them challenging the limit, but if some people really want to do this, I suggest that they can do what they can while protecting themselves."

Obadiah couldn't help asking: "Is it possible to achieve the goal by installing multiple prosthetics?"

What, two hands are not enough?

Griffin slowly explained: "If they can multitask. But not to mention whether the human body can bear so much burden, the more prosthetics are installed, the supply of bioelectricity will also decrease. Even if the power amplifier is added, then Compared with the damage to the human body, the gains outweigh the gains. Especially the nerves and brain. Maintaining the shape of a person is the best solution. What's more, if you just want to lift heavy objects, instead of making yourself like a spider, why not What about directly operating heavy machinery like a crane?"

Thinking of the scene described by the girl, Obadiah couldn't help laughing.But after laughing, the strange gleam in his little eyes still didn't fade away. "You said...with the help of prosthetics, would these people try to challenge a superhero like you?"

Guys, is that what you meant to say?All I can say is that the villain deserves to be the villain.After all, he has the lawless thinking of an arms dealer, and wants to make everything into a weapon.

However, Howard can engage in military supplies is a tacit agreement between himself and the other party, and they both believe that each other can grasp the scale.But Obadiah can't do it. He is a businessman who does anything to make money.If I dare to let it go, the original rules will be completely broken before tomorrow.

"I'm not a superhero." The girl shook her head, denying this at first. "In addition, even if they have more flexible limbs, they will not be able to defeat superpowers who are much stronger than themselves. That is not a gap that can be bridged by transplanting a few arms and legs."

Speaking of this, Griffin couldn't help laughing again. "What's more, what normal person would do that?"

There are many ways for ordinary people to fight against superpowers. They can threaten them with "love", such as family, friendship or love;

Although superpowers are powerful, their weaknesses are also obvious. Their power beyond ordinary people makes them above all living beings, and it is easy to get carried away and become puppets of power.And when they are targeted, even their own advantages will be used.

Or there is a third kind...become their own superpowers on an equal footing, and use super (villains) to defeat super (heroes).

So, which one is Obadiah?

Inside the curved eyelids are a pair of blue pupils hidden by eyelashes.Despite the smile on his face, there was a sense of danger and warning.

It was a look at the prey, like a ferocious predator, there were only two ways to be targeted, to escape early or be torn apart.
