Sometimes, prediction is painful.
It is also a kind of torture.
Or can't say it.
Or if you say it, others won't believe it and treat you as a lunatic.
General Rugg, who does not know that the world is facing the crisis of destruction, still regards himself as Patriot, is short-sighted, but feels at ease.
Not only did he come, he also brought someone with him: Victor·von·Doom.
This person's nickname is "Doctor Doom".
After knowing that Susan is Invisible Woman and Doctor Doom is her enemy, out of a very, very pure friendship, Mike got to know this version of Doctor Doom a little and came to a conclusion:
Weak!
Although this version of Doctor Doom gained superpowers by irradiating cosmic radiation, Doctor Doom and Mr. Fantastic are most powerful beyond the minds of ordinary people. The so-called superpowers are just the icing on the cake.
In Mike's impression, a certain version of Doctor Doom himself does not have superpowers, but is a physics genius.
Doctor Doom is proficient in various high-tech technologies such as robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapons technology, biochemistry, and time travel, and has created armor that is no weaker than Iron Man.
At the same time, he collected and studied various ancient magic books, and became a magician with great magical attainments Doctor Strange.
Known as the "Double Cultivation of Magic and Technology", it is simply a combination of Iron Man and Doctor Strange.
Such Doctor Doom often single-handedly challenges the entire Avengers without falling behind.
Just one word stands out: strong.
There is no harm without comparison. Mike understands that Doctor Doom in this world was once caught by Fantastic Four, using the reason of thermal expansion and contraction.
Thermal expansion and contraction?
Mike almost laughed out loud. The destructive power and difficulty of this guy is about the same as a Doctor Octopus or Green Goblin. I stopped paying attention to it after that.
"Victor!"
Seeing the appearance of Reed base oil, the most exciting one is of course Susan.
In order to distance himself from the base oil and not make his girlfriend, no, wife angry, Reed asked with a stern face, "General Rugg, why are Doom here?!"
"I came looking for him." Rugg also had a sullen face.
Damn it!
General of labor and management United States, who are you to question me like this? If you are not still needed, believe it or not, I will turn against you immediately!
Reed suppressed his anger and said, "He is a criminal!"
"Of course I know." Rugg calmed down instead, "In the face of crisis, we must adapt. This is all for the sake of the overall situation. Don't destroy the overall situation for personal grudges."
Reed was speechless, but always felt that something was wrong.
As worthy of being a general, he always speaks out against the enemy and puts himself in a high position of the overall situation and righteousness.
People who don't know the truth may accuse Reed.
The problem is, if it was for the sake of the overall situation, why couldn't Rugg cooperate with Fury before? To put it bluntly, it was because he didn't want to agree to Fury's conditions, he wanted to have sex for free, and he wanted to be in a position of power, um... he wanted to take the lead.
To put it simply, it is double standards, and it means bullying a good old guy like Reed.
"General Rugg, what kind of wind has brought you here..." Fury smiled brightly and sincerely, showing his white and neat teeth.
Behind him is Coulson dressed as a bodyguard.
When Rugg saw Fury, he immediately felt bad and said directly, "According to the tip, the criminal who caused many climate anomalies around the world was caught and is being held in Stark Tower. It is a matter of national security and the criminal must be handed over to the military for detention."
National security... United States is one of the sharp weapons of the military. If it is an ordinary enterprise, it really can't stop this sharp weapon. Fortunately, Stark Industries also has people with the military, so they are not afraid of Rugg at all.
"Oh~" Fury asked with a smile, "Who provided the information? Stark Tower contains a large number of commercial secrets worth tens of billions. I can't just let you do whatever you want just because you said "it's related to national security"."
As he said that, Fury glanced at Reed dissatisfied.
Unexpectedly, Reed actually became the second and fifth child.
Reed is very uncomfortable.
He didn't intend to betray him, he just mentioned it casually when communicating with General Rugg. His original intention was to say that Silver Surfer has been caught, but there is still someone behind the scenes. This matter is not over yet, and he should cooperate with Stark.
Rugg's understanding is that the staged results have been achieved and he can take the credit. He cannot let Stark and Fury take the majority.
The only one to blame is that Reed pattern Tucson is broken.
"Hmph!"
Rugg is also experienced in struggle. He did not answer the question, but sneered, "When did the dignified Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. become the Watchdogs of Stark Industries?"
Fury smiled softly and said, "It's better than eating an ugly evil dog."
Rugg took a step forward. "Fury, you dare to go against the military?! Believe it or not, I will dispatch a team of soldiers and blockade Stark Tower immediately."
Fury was "scared", shrank back, and said in horror, "Don't be like this, I'm so scared..."
"Ha~" The frightened look on Fury's face suddenly turned to sarcasm, and he sneered:
"First of all, the entire United States military is not your turn as a brigadier general representative. Don't flatter yourself by saying something to scare civilians."
"Secondly, I believe you can mobilize a team of soldiers. But are you ready to bear the consequences?"
Mobilizing soldiers to blockade multinational companies without actual evidence will definitely cause an uproar in United States, where capital is king. Regardless of whether it is justified or not, in order to calm the public anger afterwards, the military must throw out a scapegoat.
The position of this scapegoat cannot be too low. A brigadier general Rugg is quite suitable.
The question is, is Rugg really, as he says, a pure Patriot at all costs?
I don't know if Rugg is Patriot or Fury.
Maybe.
Maybe just think of the responsibility as a job.
But being able to sit in the position of a general is definitely not pure. Just like there is no real White Lotus in the entertainment industry.
Rugg is thinking and weighing the pros and cons.
At this time Fury said, "Actually, I can let you go up and let you pass through the whole Stark Tower without hindrance, but you will never get what you want."
Rugg knows that what Fury said is right.
Stark Tower is too big. It will take him and the three losers he brought to search the entire building. In other words, without the cooperation of the owner of the building, his actions will be of little significance.
Of course, it is not meaningless. At least when writing a report, you can focus on describing the matter of "trying your best" and put yourself in a position of "hard work but no credit".
A "mediocre" evaluation is enough to cut off his promotion path.
Rugg looks very bad.
Whether he takes the blame or is "mediocre", it is very detrimental to him.
At this time, Fury's voice sounded in his ears again, "General Rugg, I think our goals are the same, but our positions are slightly different. There is no need for confrontation. As long as each takes a step back, we can win-win."
Fury took out a document.
This was the cooperation condition that Fury proposed to Rugg at the beginning. At that time, General Rugg was angry and disdainful: What does this mean for the military? A subordinate unit of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Looking at it now, doesn't it seem unacceptable?
"I need to think about it."
Rugg feels that it cannot be agreed too easily.
You don't want to lose face!
"This way, please, General Rugg."
Fury said with a smile.
He smiled like an old fox who had successfully stolen a chicken.
