Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 231 The Chargé d’affaires of the United States in Wakanda

Following Tony to his messy laboratory, Jack couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

Any one of these pieces of equipment could be worth millions of dollars...

But now, they are all reduced to pieces.

However, Tony, the big dog, didn't care about these losses. He directed the big iron box to land in the center of the laboratory, and then took off the iron suit on the dressing table, and then Shi Shiran returned to Jack.

"You just 'scared' me!"

Jack was silent.

Regardless of past and present lives, this should be the first time Jack had the idea of ​​killing someone.

He couldn't help but suspect that the symbiote had affected his consciousness.

Fortunately, Tony only mentioned a little bit, and then changed the subject with a heavy face:
"I have a bigger problem now..."

Jack's attention was drawn by Tony, and he couldn't help asking:

"what?"

"Pepper has a memory problem..."

Tony's incoherent way of speaking made Jack full of doubts, and he tentatively guessed:

"Is it because of the Extremis virus?"

Tony shook his head. He lifted up two stools and signaled Jack to sit down, while he sat opposite Jack.

"I'll start from the beginning... After I revived Pepper, I asked her about the replacement process.

Pepper was kidnapped by a girl while attending an event, and then she was taken to a secret base, where the mysterious girl put Pepper into a weird instrument...

In Pepper's words, she felt a headache at the time, and then she felt something important disappear from her mind!
After that, she was handed over to Killian by the mysterious girl, who injected the Extremis virus into her body, and then she fell into a deep sleep until she woke up this time. "

Jack was confused and couldn't help interjecting:

"What exactly are you trying to explain?"

Tony waved his hand and signaled Jack to stay calm. In order for Jack to understand what he meant, he reorganized the language and said:
"I suspect that the eccentric machine can duplicate the memory of the creature, but in the process some of the memory is lost."

Copy memory?

Jack carefully recalled the memories stored in his mind, no matter the good or the bad, it seems that no such device was invented...

And is copying memory too advanced? You must know that the human brain is the most complicated organ.

"Tony, are you overthinking it? I don't think such an instrument can be made with the current technology."

"No, in fact, I could build such a machine if I wanted to!"

Tony's self-confidence made Jack very impatient, but he wanted to speak, but was stopped by Tony, who continued:

"The reason why I have such doubts is because of the process of the clone Pepper getting along with me. I carefully compared the clone Pepper with other clones. I found that the former is not a simple marionette, otherwise I would have realized Something is wrong, she knows me very well about the things between us...you have to understand that there are some things that only me and Pepper know!"

Tony's explanation left Jack in deep thought.

Jack was already wondering why Tony and Clone Pepper lived together day and night but didn't find out that the other party was a counterfeit.

According to Tony's conjecture, although it is absurd, it is the most reasonable explanation logically.

Jack immediately realized that something was wrong!

A clone has all the memories of the original owner, so is she real or fake?
This is a question of ethics.

This has been discussed by many people without any useful conclusions.

Jack is just an ordinary person, and such advanced and brain-burning questions are not suitable for him.

"Is there anywhere I can help?"

Tony shook his head at first, but then nodded and said:

"I need you to bring back Clone Pepper."

Jack nodded solemnly, maybe this is the only thing he can do!

After the two were silent for a long time, Jack said goodbye and left. I believe that Tony will not be able to leave this laboratory for a long time!

Not long after Jack returned to his office, Paladin came to him.

"Sir, Crowe took a mercenary to East Africa, and he brought a lot of explosives."

Jack nodded, it seems that the story of Crowe stealing vibration gold has finally begun.

"Is there any of us in his team?"

Paladin nodded.

"Order our people not to interfere with any of Claude's actions. You should rush to East Africa now and follow them closely."

Paladin then departed at his command.

After thinking for a while, Jack summoned Blink.

He first went to the Osborne Building and told Norman about the Extremis virus. The latter said that he needed to think about it for a while.

This is what it should have meant.

The smarter people think more.

Although death was about to come to Norman, he still had a little time after all.

Then Jack went to see Barney again...

Although Jack didn't take any coercive measures against Ivan, and didn't even take back the whip lab, there was a big hidden danger in almost killing Ivan after all!

Therefore, Jack must find a guardian for Ivan to ensure that Ivan can make the "correct" decision.

After completing these two things, Jack came to Washington DC, but this time he was not looking for President Benjamin, but for Foreign Minister Thomas Madison.

Thomas was not a victim of the "11 people" incident, but he still received Jack very warmly.

Although the rise of the Skyhammer Bureau is only in its infancy, Thomas, the old fox, has already smelled it.

It is a very wise decision to befriend Jack Murdoch at this time.

In addition, as President Benjamin's hard-core confidantes, the two were originally on one side.

The purpose of Jack's trip is for an identity...

Although Wakanda has always implemented isolationism, this does not mean that it does not need to contact any country.

This time, Jack decides to go to Wakanda himself, so he needs an official identity!
After listening to Jack's appeal, Thomas quickly replied:
"We haven't established diplomatic relations with Wakanda yet, so we don't have an ambassador, but I can give you the status of the interim charge d'affaires of the United States in Wakanda."

Before coming to Washington DC, Jack also picked up a little diplomatic knowledge.

In today's world, there are three levels of diplomacy: ambassador, minister, and charge d'affaires.

Although the charge d'affaires is only the last level, considering that the United States and Watford have not established diplomatic relations, this status is sufficient.

After solving the identity problem, Jack also hopes to obtain certain authorization,

"Mr. Minister, if I can persuade Wakanda to abandon its national policy of isolationism, will the United States consider establishing diplomatic relations with Wakanda?"

Thomas froze for a moment, and said with some doubts:

"Of course, there is no problem. At present, there is no competition and hostility between Wakanda and the United States. I can grant you this right.

It's just, Jack... I don't understand, what attracts you to this small East African country? "

Jack laughed, "Maybe it's because of their mineral resources."

"Minerals? Did you find diamonds there?"

"That is a mineral that is more valuable than diamonds..." Jack concluded.

　I have to go to duty again.
