After listening to Griffin's story, Howard couldn't bear it at the time.He thumped the table hard, his eyebrows furrowed together. "That fat bald man, I just warned him to stay away from you, and now he still wants to use you to build a relationship with the Rockefeller family!"

what do you mean?Don't you know Griffin is mine?

You use my niece as your own promotion ladder, have you asked her uncle if she agrees?

The five brothers in their family are outstanding, but the five of them together are not my opponent, Howard Stark.Is Obadiah really crazy about wanting to enter the upper class, even ignoring his own warning?

Howard was angry, outraged at the friend's behavior of ignoring his petty tricks.

If you want to enter the upper class, tell me, isn't my brother playing with you better than yourself?

"According to my guess, this gathering should be a test of the emerging unlimited energy by the old energy group..." Seeing his disdain, Griffin couldn't help reminding: "The five brothers of the Rockefeller family are nothing. Simple characters, especially the second child Nelson, who is also the former Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, and the youngest one named David..."

Before the words fell, the man on the opposite side made a "poof".

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, I remembered something happy." Howard wiped his mouth and waved his hand. "It seems that you also know something about them. Do you know that they are members of the Republican Party?"

The girl nodded in understanding. "But what I value more is their connections."

Some members of the Rockefeller family had served in the navy, and I dare not say that the tree has deep roots, but it has some influence.At present, the relationship between the Navy of the United States and itself is not bad, so the opinion of this family cannot be based on preference alone.

"Listen to you, are you going to participate?"

The girl flicked her long hair on the temples back and forth. "How is it possible? I'm still a minor. I'm not familiar with them at all. Even if we want to talk about cooperation, it's a matter for adults. I'm too busy just extracting energy to develop new products every day. How can I have the time to participate in this kind of high society?" Have money and leisure to entertain?"

"Don't count on me about this. Uncle, I have important things to do and I don't have time to go there. Since Obadiah wants to go, let him go on your behalf." After a pause, he continued: "However, for his behavior, I think some necessary actions should be taken."

It's only been a few days since I beat him, did you forget it so quickly?Conventional means seemed to be useless, and something had to be done to wake him up.But as his old friend for many years, Howard didn't want to go too far.

Griffin agreed deeply, and seeing Howard was still hesitant about how to deal with it, he suggested: "If you really don't want to hurt your friendship for many years, I have a good solution... When you see someone at work When you are unhappy, but rely on his ability and don't want to fire him, the best way is to transfer him to another place, out of sight and out of sight."

Howard immediately understood that this old Yin must have done this kind of thing less than before.A smile appeared on his face. "It seems that you already have an idea? Tell me, where do you plan to transfer him?"

A globe floated over from the table in the distance, Griffin looked thoughtful, and fiddled with it with his fingertips to spin it quickly.After a moment of silence, she finally pressed her hand, and the spinning globe stopped abruptly.And the position of her finger is facing a country.

"How do you like it here?"

Following the direction she pointed, Howard saw the name of this country. "China? I remember this place is at war right now?"

You're going to take advantage of the chaos there to get rid of him?

"Am I that kind of person?" After reading the other person's eyes, Griffin thought to himself that only those who can't afford it would do such a superficial trick.I spent so much time trying to make a fool of myself and finally found such an opportunity to have the best of both worlds, so I didn't want to engage in this little conspiracy.She said casually: "I heard that this country has an ambassador to the United States named Gu Weijun, who is lobbying the United States for assistance to HUA?"

Howard nodded first, then asked curiously: "Your information is very accurate, may I ask how you know?"

The girl replied: "If you don't want me to know the news outside, you can move the radio and TV away."

Do you think I don't care about national affairs and international situation?In this era without consoles, this is one of the few ways I can find a way to pass the time.

Not only that, I also know that KMT Ferra is unbearable, and the bald head will be finished in two years.

"Okay, it's my fault. You go on." Howard raised his hands in surrender.

"I think, since he wants assistance, can the Stark Group take this opportunity to introduce themselves and reach a commercial cooperation relationship with the Chinese government?"

There are so many foreign companies doing business in China, isn't it normal for Stark to join them?Don't look at the war that is happening there, but it is not everywhere.No matter which side regains power after the war, economic revitalization is inseparable from restoring production and stimulating consumption.And economic revitalization requires a lot of money and contacts, and there are business opportunities everywhere for purely businessmen.Investing in China is a good thing that can benefit both parties. Of course, it is a matter of opinion who gets more benefits.

As far as Griffin is concerned, it is not normal behavior to watch such a big cake and not eat it.

You know, giving charcoal in the snow and icing on the cake are two different things.

Previously, due to various reasons, this matter could not be facilitated. Now that such a good opportunity is in front of her eyes, if she does not seize it, she will feel sorry for her nationality in her previous life.

What she could think of, Howard could also think of. After listening to Griffin's narration, he thought about it seriously for a full ten minutes, and finally nodded slowly.

"I see what you're thinking. I have to say, it's really attractive," Howard said. "Actually, I had considered overseas investment before the war, but most of them were in the European market. In the end, because of the war, these investments were not resumed until recently. As for Asia, it is more of a supplier of raw materials. And cheap labor. In fact, after the war, General MacArthur also suggested that I invest in the Asian market, but his purpose is to revive the Japanese economy, after all...that is under his control. And your ambition is obviously greater."

China's territory is dozens of times that of Japan, and its resources and products are difficult to measure. If the Stark Group can take root with the support of the government, how big will the market be in three to fifty years?

Volume 116.1: [-] The progress of Stark Industries in Europe

Obviously, he was very excited.What Griffin can see, he can see.Now that Europe's aid and markets are basically saturated, no matter how much it develops in the future, it will not be able to break away from the framework.In Asia, especially China, due to the reopening of the war, many investors are still temporarily on the sidelines because they are worried that their investment will be in vain.But sooner or later they would see the end of the situation, and Howard felt that he had to take advantage of this blank time if he wanted to do something.

Although Griffin was just a sentence, it made him think seriously about the feasibility of doing so.

Watched by Howard's meaningful eyes, the girl's back suddenly burst into a thin layer of sweat.Even though she knew that this man might not know her true purpose, this feeling still made her a little nervous.

The girl blinked and took the opportunity to change the subject. "So have you invested in Japan?"

"Of course, I have an agent there too. In the construction business." There was a "you know" look on his face.

Thanks to General LeMay's tireless efforts, rebuilding Tokyo was much easier.

"So, I won't say too much, so as not to affect your judgment. I'll just say one thing..." Griffin took a deep breath. "China's market is much larger than Japan's. No matter who wins in the end, it cannot be separated from the post-war economic construction. Stark Group has such a good innate advantage in infrastructure, and it will definitely stand out among many peers."

"I will seriously think about this proposal." Howard stood up, aware of the business opportunity, he wished he could write out the plan now.On the bright side, this man still showed a calm look. "I found that being with you can always get unexpected surprises."

"Thank you for the compliment, I just hope you won't leak our conversation today to Uncle Stanislav." Hearing this, Griffin also heaved a sigh of relief, sticking out his tongue cheerfully.

Although I and him are uncles and nephews, there is no blood relationship. With Howard's character, even if he is his own, he can't do what he says.

If I had to explain it, it would be that my ubiquitous charisma played a decisive role.

The man didn't agree on the spot, but he must have been moved in his heart.

This is already the best result I can achieve.

Although Obadiah is keen on making troubles, his talent as a businessman to make money is undeniable. The place in Asia can not only give him a stage for training and development, but also change his character of pretending to be smart.At that time, in the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in China, Griffin did not believe that a single capitalist could fight so many generations.

Even if he was eventually assimilated into the red iron tyrant, holding a sickle and hammer to counterattack the New World, I would not be surprised.

Griffin sincerely hopes that things will develop in the best direction and everyone can get what they want.

"Ha, how is it possible! I will tell him the news as a surprise at the end." Howard's face was filled with a happy smile when he thought of the reaction of this friend who was behind his back to make a show when he heard the decision. .

Other than your fat and bald head, I will also cheat on teammates.

Europe in 1946 was thriving.

The wasteland sprouted new shoots, the bomb craters were filled, and all the countries that had experienced wars built new cities on their own ruins.The Sri Lankan has passed away, and the living will bury the past in the depths of their memory, and will not reveal it easily.

As time goes by, people gradually come out of the haze of the past, and more and more cities have started reconstruction work.People from all over the world showed a rare enthusiasm almost at the same time, and new buildings were completed every day, and yearning and hope for the future gradually appeared on their originally numb faces.

In every construction site, from time to time, physically disabled workers can be seen working with prosthetic limbs.They can move flexibly and don't think they are disabled, thanks to the new products of Infinite Energy Company far across the ocean, allowing them to live like normal people.

Even if you leave there, you can see their activities on the street, in the city, in the countryside, and in the fields.It took Griffin two years to fulfill some of his promises, allowing the vast majority of physically disabled people to return to their normal life.In addition, all kinds of daily necessities and important resources purchased with the address starting with Unlimited Energy Company were directly or indirectly transported from New York to Germany on the basis of economic assistance.

Among them, a batch of new landmine detectors also arrived along with the aid materials.

During the war, the armies of the belligerent countries set up a large number of landmines and other traps of various types in their own or other countries' territory in order to prevent the opponent from advancing. Only a small part of these were discovered and detonated, but a large number of landmines remained undiscovered.Although the government has only drawn up warning zones based on records that may be minefields, so far there are still people who stray into the minefields and cause casualties.Out of humanitarian considerations, these terrifying killers should naturally be recovered, so this landmine detector produced by Infinite Energy Company came into being.

After the approval, this piece of equipment began to work overtime and put into production. It appeared in European countries a few months later, and became the new favorite of the minesweeping department due to its excellent quality, accuracy and safety far exceeding similar products.

In the working state, it can sense all the metal objects buried in the soil around it, and automatically mark the model, size and depth, and display it on a small palm-sized screen.It can not only detect various types of landmines, but also find ammunition boxes buried deep in the ground, which are also in danger of detonating after the baptism of time.

There are even rumors that this landmine detector can also find buried treasure.

In order to stimulate the recovery of the German economy, the American industrial giant Stark Group has absorbed several former German industrial giants under the consideration of many parties.With companies such as Krupp, Rheinmetall, and Porsche being acquired or invested in by Stark, the United States indirectly mastered Germany's light and heavy industry and the lifeline of the economy, and also inherited most of the property of this once Europe's number one army power.The injection of the German-style military industry has provided Stark Industries with a strong guarantee for the development of military supplies.

Now Germany no longer needs these companies to manufacture weapons of war, but for companies that survive on this, not advancing means regressing. Instead of being unknown in the future, it is better to accept Stark’s invitation, save the fire, and avoid technological faults .

Europe, especially Germany, is recovering as fast as it can.

Located in the port of Kiel in the north, in the nursing home for veterans.

Schneider is bathing in the sun. Since he was sent here, he spends a lot of time in the courtyard every day, doing nothing during the day, just watching.

Volume 116.2: [-] Schneider standing up again

The retired soldiers who are able to move but look dull like gardeners and monks planted trees and flowers, and these flowers and plants took root and sprouted and thrived over time.

But these have nothing to do with him.

The broken limbs of vegetation can be reattached, but people cannot, and the wounded spirit cannot return to the past.

During the time he came here, he thought more than once, if Griffin hadn't saved him, he might be able to escape from the numbness of blood loss. If she hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have left like this Without medical care, he lived on his last breath.

But when I came back, I didn't have the courage to open the window and jump in the face of the sea. Now here, do I have the courage to die?

No.

So he can only think about these in a daze day after day, spending time in struggle, regret and entanglement.

"Schneider, someone is here to see you."

He heard the nurse's voice in his left ear, but he didn't want to turn his head.

With the slightly heavy footsteps from far to near, there was a figure on the side of the wheelchair.

"You are really hard to find."

The voice is very familiar, but Schneider can't remember when and where he heard a similar voice.

A large brown suitcase appeared in the lower left corner of the field of vision.

"The most basic style of prosthetics sent by the Americans, I brought you a pair to try to see if they fit." Richter said with a blank expression as he glanced at the courtyard. "It's a disgrace to Germany for a guy like you who is waiting to die in a nursing home."

Schneider was indifferent, his face was tired, and he was as lifeless as if he didn't wake up often.

I heard him say in a dry voice: "Your mouth smells as bad as your body."

"This is the sweat of struggle, and it smells much better than your body being rotten."

After parting with Goethe, Richter moved around in central Germany. He was so proud that he didn't want to be supported by others, so he made a living by doing odd jobs.Passing through one after another withered city, and finally back to northern Germany.Here he found a job as a construction worker. According to Griffin, he is rebuilding the country with his own hands.

Although Richter possessed the abilities of a super soldier, he did not choose to become a warrior because he already hated using force to solve problems. On the contrary, he used his strength and physique to support the heavy burden on his shoulders.

Indeed, as Griffin said, they are not pure killing machines, and the world can always find a place to play their value.

From selling his physical strength at the beginning to learning to use technological products, Richter has grown a lot in the past two years, and has also integrated into the post-war social environment.

"Don't just sit here like a dead man eating food for nothing, put on your hands and feet, and go to work like a normal person, isn't it good?" If it wasn't for Griffin, he wouldn't bother to care about this guy.A person like him who is always very serious in character, what he despises the most is these capable guys who don't want to create value.

You are in your 20s, and your performance is not as good as that of a 16-year-old boy like me. What were you doing all those years when you were older than me?Are you breastfeeding?

In fact, Richter is not the kind of single-minded stupefied young man. While he despises such people, he is not incapable of understanding what they do.But understanding is understanding after all, he doesn't like Schneider's current appearance no matter how he looks at it.

After taking Griffin's technological achievements, he should do something worthy of her.Richter would not want to deal with a person like Schneider who is just waiting to die, if he didn't know him, and if he didn't want to waste the resources she worked so hard to create.

Even those who are not relatives are fighting for themselves and for the future of Germany. You, an acquaintance of Griffin, do not lead by example. Is this justified?

It's all the more because you're someone we know.

"Listen, I don't care if you have war wounds or anything else, I don't know and I don't care. Now that you have a chance to get back on your feet and live again, don't hide behind the trenches like a coward Charge." Richter looked at the suitcase at his feet, and then at Schneider's profile, boredom was written all over his face. "This is the last time I will be here and there will be no next time. If you enjoy staying here for the next few decades, I wish you happiness in your later years in advance. I will write to Griffin and ask her to stop specifically I ordered a prosthetic for you, you are not worth her time."

After all, he took one last look at Schneider, turned and left without looking back.

Hearing the name Griffin, Schneider's unresponsive face finally wavered.Looking at the suitcase again, his mood was quite complicated.

That girl has never forgotten the original promise?

She said that she would win the reconstruction capital for Germany, and she also said that she would give herself an explanation.

She did it all.

As the sincerity of Germany's surrender, she was sent to the United States, and she may never be able to return to the land of Germany in this life. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for her to think about her former comrades-in-arms.

Peace in Germany was not achieved by her alone, but she must have played a significant role in it.

I just fought together as her superior at that time, and it was just a normal word of caring for her subordinates. What I did the most for her was to block the fragments of the shells for her.It is the protection of the officers for the soldiers, the protection of men for women, and the protection of the strong for the weak.I was ready to die at that time, but I didn't expect to live until after the war.

I saved her, and she saved herself, and they were already even.

I thought that there would be no more interaction with the other party... Is it worth it for her?

Looking at the suitcase left by Richter, Schneider's brain went blank for a moment.He didn't fully figure it out, but he still figured out some things.

The only remaining hand picked up the box, and the nurse sent him back to the ward. Looking at the leather-smelling box, Schneider opened the buttons.

The right forearm and left calf are placed on the silk cushion, and Schneider can tell that this is not a common general model.The metal skeleton and silicone make them have the same weight and thickness as the real torso. The interface can be applied directly without any surgery. Only weak bioelectricity and the energy drive of the prosthetic can complete fine movements.Grab, punch, swing, walk, run, jump without any hindrance, even more flexible than the original.If it wasn't for the cold metal, it would be living hands and feet.

she really did...

The brilliance in Schneider's eyes became brighter, and the emotions that had been ashamed were once again ignited.

He is only 21 this year, and he can stand up again and live like a normal person. Who wants to spend his life paralyzed in a wheelchair and bed, eating and waiting to die?
