Legendary mage breaks into Marvel

He had no interest in responding to that pitiful and ridiculous joke. Facing competition from many powerful forces at the same level as Osborne, even with Su Zheng's confidence, he was not completely sure that he would have the last laugh.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"Okay Su, don't worry too much." Seeing his ally's silent expression, Norman naturally knew what the other party was worried about, and said with relief: "Things like this have happened twice before."

"Oh" Su Zheng couldn't help but be curious after hearing this.

"Do you think there are only treasures like blood orchids in the world?" He looked at Su Zheng regretfully, with a mysterious look on his face that aroused Su Zheng's curious nerves.

"The first time was in South America in 1962," Norman continued, recalling the great crisis that year: "The United States almost started a war with the Soviet Union that year. You think it was because of missiles."

"Is there any inside story?" As the big brother of China at that time, the Soviet Union did not have much time to gain the upper hand in the Cold War with the United States, and the Cuban Missile Crisis was the most typical representative. Now listening to Norman talking about what happened back then, it seems that there are more inside stories hidden in it, which completely aroused Su Zheng's curiosity.

"I was just a student at the time. I didn't know the details until later." Seeing that Su Zheng loved to listen, Norman also told Su Zheng the story behind this event that shocked the world at the time.

As the only two superpowers after World War II, differences in social forms have caused confrontation between the two countries. Because it is on the other side of the Atlantic, the United States has not been too directly hit. Instead, it has made a lot of war profits through bilateral sales of weapons. As a superpower spanning the two continents of Europe and Asia, the Soviet Union was attacked by more than half of the German fascist military forces at the time. The typical Battle of Stalingrad reduced the entire city to rubble. The one plus and one minus between them makes the comprehensive strength gap between the two countries after the war quite large.

At the turn of autumn and winter in 1961, the Cuban government discovered the remains of an alien spacecraft in the virgin jungle. It was a good time, but the spy who was lurking around Castro reported this important discovery to the US government.

Unable to withstand the pressure from the United States, the Cuban government naturally pulled the Soviet Union out from behind. As a result, the secret forces of the two superpowers launched a desperate struggle in the Cuban jungle. Relying on the information left by Dr. Erkins and its own advantages in precision craftsmanship, the United States, which is close to Cuba, had a great advantage in this battle, and most of the remains of the spacecraft were also transported to the United States. Faced with such a result, the Soviet Union, which had advantages in strategic weapons, naturally refused to give up, so the Cuban Missile Crisis that shocked the world occurred.

"What happened next?" I didn't expect that the story hidden behind history would be so exciting. Su Zheng, who listened with interest, naturally wanted to know the result.

"I didn't know about it after that." Unexpectedly, even the chairman of Osborne Industries didn't know what happened next. I guess the U.S. government must have suffered a bit, so it blocked the news from the outside world.

"What about the second time?" The anticlimactic ending naturally made Su Zheng very unhappy, but even Norman didn't know the secret, and it was even less possible for him to know the answer. He quickly asked Norman about the second incident.

His mouth was a little dry after talking, and Norman got up after pouring himself a glass of water.

"The second time," Norman had no intention of hiding anything from Su Zheng. After all, many people knew about this matter, and as his ally, it was appropriate to share this little information: "About the Cosmic Cube."

噗

Su Zheng couldn't control his expression when he suddenly heard the message from the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and the coffee he just drank splashed out.

Seeing Su Zheng reacting violently, Norman became a little curious. Few people know about the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and most of those who know about the Cosmic Rubik's Cube also know the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube. It's just that the power that keeps the Rubik's Cube is too strong, so people can't think of stealing it.

"It seems you should know about the Rubik's Cube," Norman said, looking at Su Zheng strangely, and then told the second thing.

The Cuban Missile Crisis ended in such an anticlimactic manner that observers around the world could not understand it at the time. After that, the two countries immersed themselves in studying the obtained information and went all out to explore and deploy space.

Until 1976, bursts of powerful energy fluctuations coming from the Arctic Ocean were detected by satellites of several major powers at the time. How could the major powers that were so envious of the extraterrestrial technology obtained by the United States and the Soviet Union give up this opportunity? For a time, the area was filled with energy surges and clouds of war. In order to ease the simmering tension at that time, the United States and the Soviet Union took the lead in formulating a plan to regulate the behavior of all parties: for unowned precious materials and technology, all parties competed in small teams with a bottom line, and the winner took the Take away the spoils, and the loser shall not be entitled to any recourse. Any losses caused during the competition will be borne by you.

"What was the method of competition at that time?" Knowing that the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was currently being kept and studied by SHIELD, Su Zheng was naturally not very interested in which side won, but was instead very interested in the method of competition at that time.

"Do you think the competition between countries is more important than art or history?" He glanced at the enthusiastic Su Zheng with a mocking look. Norman, who had a more thorough understanding of the essence of the world, naturally understood more than a young man like Su Zheng.

"The comparison at that time was the cost-effectiveness between the maximum lethality of conventional weapons and their cost."

Although there have been speculations, it is obviously not thought that conventional weapons are cost-effective.

"The United States and the Soviet Union, which have obtained alien technology, have a technology and price-performance ratio that is significantly higher than that of other powerful countries." He seemed a little proud of his country's victory, but Norman was still unhappy when he thought of the biggest contributor to that incident. .

The Soviet Union was worthy of being a lunatic who believed in Ivan the Great’s ideas. Conventional weapons, regardless of cost, pushed American equipment far away.

In the end, it was Howard Stark who improved some settings on the spot and improved the hit rate of the weapon, and he narrowly defeated the Soviet Union.

The United States did not dare to boldly take the Cube into its possession. In the end, Howard Stark sent the Cube to the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, an international organization with a strong American background.

After all, it happened decades ago. And the result is something that I have already accepted. Counting these two things, in Su Zheng's opinion, they were just two interesting stories. However, Su Zheng still understood what Norman meant: "You mean, we compete for the Blood Orchid through the team mode."

"That's definitely the case." Norman Osborne answered Su Zheng's question affirmatively, having already prepared for this. "However, the scale should not be large. After all, it is just a blood orchid. And an organization like the military should They won’t participate, they just need to sit back and reap the results.”

"Yeah~ I understand." Su Zheng nodded and asked Norman: "Then go and find out which force will be the referee this time, um, referee."

"Ok."

"Also, go find out which forces will participate, and prepare all the information."

"understood"

Seeing Penny waiting for him to have lunch with her, Su Zheng quickly calmed down his worried expression.

"Dear Penny," the sweet-talking person always couldn't help but want to tease the girl next to her, "Did you miss me?"

With a roll of her eyes, Penny didn't want to pay attention to the rude look, "Go out early in the morning."

"It's not because you're still sleeping. I have something urgent to do so I went to the company first."

"What's the emergency?" It's a bit strange that there is something urgent and I need to find this guy who is not doing his job properly. "I'll find you."

"Specially hired security consultant," I felt like I was being underestimated by the girl, so I had to say it properly: "Specially hired, do you understand? Specially hired."

"Okay, then, dear Mr. Special Security Consultant," especially the word "special appointment," "what matters do you need to come forward for?"

I don’t want Penny to worry, but this trip to Borneo to find Blood Orchid cannot be solved in a day or two. It's obviously impossible to completely hide this from a smart girl.

"We need scientists from my good company to go to Asia to find a precious medicinal material. It may take several days. Of course, it will be very fast if everything goes well."

“Are there dangers anywhere in Asia?”

"You have to believe in the strength of your men. Of course there is no danger, uh~ there is no danger," Su Zheng was a little uneasy at the girl's bright eyes, and his voice gradually became lower.

"The jungles of Indonesia," he finally realized that he had been pinned by Panike. He just had to answer obediently, but he still had to hide what should be concealed: "There are local people as tour guides, and I am only ensuring the safety of a few scientists in the company. ."

"You have to believe me, your dad is so awesome, why don't you let me fuck him down, hehe." Su Zheng, who was really speechless, finally brought up the embarrassing things of his future father-in-law for comparison.

Nakedly seeking death.

"go to hell"
