Chapter 187 Maximov Brothers and Sisters
"Director Fury, I need a data analysis team, preferably one that is proficient in computer data and biological knowledge, as well as a psychological analysis team."
Sharon Carter applied for a group of support from Nick Fury after returning home. She heard something about super soldiers on the plane today, but the other party did not say much. She needs more logistics teams.
On the other side of the communication, Nick Fury asked, "Did you find anything?"
"Some useful information. The Pent Group should have more than just military support behind it. Although his biopharmaceutical company has good revenue, it should not be enough for the Pent Group to acquire Berlik Mining and New Delhi Metallurgy. Now it seems that the deal has been reached and they are ready to send someone to take over."
After Sharon Carter finished speaking, she had already retrieved the relevant news of the two companies. There was already news that the Pent Group's merger was successful, but it did not cause too much trouble.
"Someone is suppressing the news about the Pent Group. There is not even a press conference for such a big event. Director, if there is really news about the super soldier serum, then the Biological Research Center and Pent Manor are the most likely ones."
Nick Fury said to Sharon: "Try to track down the news. I will let Coulson form a professional team to help you. We will have everyone you want."
The continuous formation of super soldier teams by the US military has attracted the attention of SHIELD. Only very mature technology can produce so many super soldiers; and what SHIELD cares more about is that this technology is controlled by private hands.
In addition to reaching cooperation with the military, they also developed a recovery potion with some of the effects of the super soldier serum. SHIELD has analyzed a lot internally, but there are too few data and samples. In addition to the research that the recovery potion has the ability to quickly regenerate human tissue, there is nothing else to gain.
The unknown represents potential danger. If the strength or other things behind the Pent Group are fully understood, SHIELD may not be so concerned about the Pent Group.
They need to dig out all the secrets that threaten the earth and mankind.
Sharon Carter reminded: "Director Fury, it's better to send another agent to infiltrate Betty Ross. Everything she does is very important, but she has been doing charity relief in Sokovia for two months."
"Coulson will contact you in a while."
After Nick Fury finished this sentence, he ended the call. Although he didn't say it clearly, Sharon Carter guessed that Nick Fury must have sent someone over, but she didn't know who the other agent was.
The hierarchy of SHIELD is also very confidential internally. Field undercover agents hardly know their colleagues. Although Sharon is a level 5 agent, she is just a rookie who has just climbed up in SHIELD. Only level 8 agents are considered high-level SHIELD agents and can access all level 7 top secrets.
"Okay, in a while,"
Sharon Carter said with a sigh. She now feels that intelligence is very difficult to collect. The opportunity to see Kahn Pent is too rare. She has been with Betty Ross for several months and has only seen him once. She induced Betty Ross to send a plane to pick up Kahn.
After Kahn gave them new weapons technology, the father and son of Vanke began to study and manufacture them. The construction of the underground hive was completely handed over to the Red Queen. She has a stronger ability to coordinate and can perfectly command even a construction team of 100,000 people.
Now the father and son of Vanke are mainly responsible for the upgrade of Umbrella's weapons. The weapons of ordinary soldiers must also be replaced with new individual weapons. As for super soldiers, their equipment is all customized to fully exert their strongest abilities.
Umbrella now has only five super soldiers in the open, but there are 21 in secret. Kahn is ready to stop the next super soldier manufacturing opportunity because the biochemical mechanical warriors are stronger, more cost-effective and more obedient.
When Betty returned from Sokovia, she also brought back the Maximov brothers and sisters.
Since it was dark when Betty arrived in New York, she took them directly to the Pent Manor in Brooklyn.
After Betty came back, she went straight up to him and gave him a hug, then whispered, "It's too late today, so I brought them back."
"I see."
Then, Kahn greeted Pietro and Wanda, "Please take a seat, both of you. I know you have a lot of questions, but since you are here, it means you are interested in joining. I will try my best to answer your questions."
Pietro and Wanda looked at each other after hearing this, and then Pietro spoke first, "Mr. Pent, why did you come to us?"
"Because your abilities are of great research value. Pietro Maximov can run 100 meters in 3.1 seconds at his fastest speed, which is faster than Captain America who has been injected with super soldier serum.
Wanda Maximov can use telekinesis to lift heavy objects and can also affect other people's minds. Fortunately, you didn't attack Betty along the way. It seems that you know how to restrain yourself."
After Kahn finished talking about the intelligence information of the two, he felt that the twins immediately became nervous and their bodies were slightly stiff. Then Kahn waved his hand and continued to persuade them,
"Don't be nervous. If I didn't know your intelligence, why would I spend the effort to invite you? Your abilities are of great value. If we can study the principles and replicate them, it will be a great fortune."
Wanda suddenly asked, "You want to study us?" "After obtaining your consent." Kahn emphasized this point and said, "Your abilities are still very weak. I can help you develop your abilities, and I can also pay you to help you solve some of your worries."
Pietro said, "Do you know what we want?"
"It should be revenge, right? Because of the Stark missile, you hate Tony Stark. In fact, there are many people like you in my company, including biological experts and Soviet physicists. With Tony Stark's personality, there are definitely more people who hate him than like him."
Kahn said indifferently, "If you want to seek revenge on Tony Stark, I can give you some help, such as a legal team or strategic support. Whether you can succeed depends on you."
At this time, a tea tray in the distance slowly floated towards Kahn and Maximov's siblings. It was not really floating, because there was a snake tail swimming under the tea tray.
Climbing to the table in front of the sofa, the green snake steadily placed the tea tray on the table with its tail, and then hooked the teapot with its tail, pouring a cup of black tea for Kahn, Betty and others.
Betty looked at the red tea in front of her, wondering if she was too busy recently; Maximov and his sister also looked suspicious, wondering if they had come to the zoo, as if even Indians could not do this.
Kahn said, "Thank you, no dessert, you can go and rest first, or go to the next house." He felt that the green snake wanted to watch TV, so he asked him while pouring tea.
After the green snake slowly crawled away, the atmosphere of the discussion was interrupted, and Pietro asked, "Mr. Pent, can we consider it?"
"Of course, there are many houses nearby, you can choose one to live in. By the way, don't go to the beach."
Kahn agreed very readily, he could feel the softening of the attitude of Maximov and his sister; they wanted to achieve their goals, and there were not many people they could rely on, who were not afraid of Stark Industries and understood their value at the same time. There were really not many people in this world, Kahn was one, and the other should be Hydra.
Pietro and Wanda don't even have a high school diploma now. If they don't join Kahn, they can only use their own abilities to make money after leaving. Sooner or later, they will be discovered and go on the road of fighting against the government or going to prison. With a little thought, they will know what to choose.
After the Maximov brothers and sisters left, Betty hugged Kahn with some emotion. After such a long time, she had long missed that feeling.
The next day,
Kahn and Betty took a private plane to the military base in Los Angeles to find Betty's father. If there was nothing else, Thaddeus Ross would usually stay here.
This time, they came with a lot of people, in addition to Betty's assistant and bodyguard, there were also some weapons testers; this time, Kahn brought the finished product of the new weapon. Video and performance analysis alone could not move the military.
After a demonstration, almost all the senior military officials in the Falling Sand Machine Military Base took a fancy to the new military weapons of the Pent Group.
Powerful and convenient, coupled with the supporting auxiliary exoskeleton armor, it can make an ordinary soldier have the combat power and destructive level of a super soldier, and can also form a rear support counter-force to give soldiers on the battlefield more help.
The price is not too expensive. It only costs 120,000 US dollars to arm a soldier. Even if the subsequent space satellites and customized systems are added, it will only add an extra 500 million US dollars.
With the annual budget of the military, paying such a sum of money is simply a piece of cake; with these equipment, the strength of the US military will be upgraded to a higher level.
While others were meeting to discuss, Ross called Kahn out. His opinion had been made clear. The rest was to let those people discuss the results and submit them to the White House budget.
"Kahn, what are you going to do? You're even selling new weapons to the military."
"Why do you think I have other intentions, General Ross?"
Kahn said with a smile, "It's just to make money. After all, the weapons department of the Osborne Group is developing well. Now that I've taken over, I won't let it decline."
General Ross looked at Kahn for a while, then slowly said, "I hope so. It's best not to hurt Betty. She doesn't like this kind of thing?"
"What is it?"
Ross snorted coldly, then said, "Besides war, what else can the update of weapons and equipment bring?"
Kahn smiled and said, "Of course I know, but there is one premise that Betty will not violate even if she hates war, and that is that she likes me."
First update, please vote!
