Osborne Megacorp

Carol could tell that Fury was sincerely lamenting the changes taking place on Earth.

This one-eyed man just doesn't believe that politicians will do anything good, so he hopes to secretly protect the earth from these weird aliens and superpowers.

But... now the earth seems to have really changed for the better, and that President Norman Osborne... Obviously, this man is inseparable from the Osborne Group.

"...Sounds like a piece of a desperate novel about corporations taking over the world," commented Carroll.

But as an old antique who had experienced the Cold War, Carroll still had some doubts about this.

Even Carol, who has the ability to travel through the stars, does not feel that he has the ability to solve this problem: pure force cannot bring about real peace-unless genocide is carried out.

She still understands this truth.

"Yes, I think so too, but this politician is not simple -" Fury looked around and leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to whisper something, "I can see that he has a strong desire for power." The desire is extremely strong, but the means are indeed clever.”

Carol's eyes narrowed - is it finally here?Is peace just an illusion?People lost their freedom?Living in a cage created by cameras and monitoring systems, losing the right to think and becoming a walking zombie?

"You know, how he beat other competitors - I mean other countries?

The Osborne Group has carried out large-scale development in countries in Africa and the Middle East, establishing unprecedented giant farms and development zones, distributing food and grain to civilians, helping them develop land, build houses, improve basic education, etc...

By the way, the new international law is establishing that food, housing, education and medical security for the people are all contracted by the Osborne Group. From now on, these things will be free.

This caught everyone off guard - at first some people said this was a big pie, a blank check, and a sugar-coated cannonball. But Africa, the place where the number of people dying of starvation has always been among the highest, has already achieved these things.

They have solved the old problems of energy crisis, food crisis, and land resource scarcity, built an intercontinental orbital transportation system, deployed plasma electric heating wires in the atmosphere to make every inch of land use electrical energy, and built a huge space elevator. Using technology to eliminate language barriers and more...

In the face of this reality, publicity is of no use unless they unplug the network cable, dig holes underground, and live in caves from now on. "

But is this possible?Losing technology means returning to primitive society, and the regression of productivity makes it even less possible to protect civilian life.

How will you explain then, why you abandoned the light and turned to darkness?No need for internal stability?

Besides, drilling holes underground is also the technical field of the Osborne Group. Can you beat them?

Once you can't solve this problem, what happened on Attilan will happen again - Norman Osborn didn't take the disobedient guy seriously at all. Ordinary people thought Norman was a kind and successful politician, but those who died tragically The warlord doesn't think so.

There will always be a few stubborn ones.

Sugar-coated bullets crushed by technology... This is also due to the globalization in the past few decades, which has made people realize that not all the people on the other side of the ocean are evil, at least they are willing to trade and understand each other.

The difficulty of reversing globalization not only refers to trade, but also to a series of aspects of human society such as thought. It is difficult for people to go back to the past.

Eventually, Norman's allies were everywhere.

Carol didn't seem to expect Fury to say that, and it sounded fine - it didn't make any difference to her who was sitting in that seat anyway.

But he still said: "Is this strange? As far as I know, most planets in the universe are like this, and food and other things are free."

Fury glanced at Carol. Although the latter was just complaining, she was not really a fool - this is really rare on earth.

"Okay, so what's the problem? Everything sounds fine."

Fury nodded: "Yes, everything is fine, so good that I think the Osborne Group can be trusted.

You know, the responsibility has always been there. Politicians in the past have always been obsessed with power and avoided responsibility. Everything is military technology in their eyes, but the Osborne Group is the opposite.

They actually take responsibility first, and they sound like idiots, but once they stop doing it, this life will obviously come to nothing. "

"...So you decided to join them and help them maintain their status quo?"

"That's it. In fact, the captain has also joined. He and Osborne are very close. If there were any problems, he should have quit long ago."

At this point, Carroll understood what Fury meant: he wanted to join the Osborn Group's operations.

Unlike what she imagined, this was indeed a story about world domination, but there was no conspiracy in it.

"About those aliens, Osborne is right. They look similar to ordinary people. Some of them do have powerful energy, but they have been thoroughly studied. The Osborne Group has been helping them guide them. I also Involved.

Now these aliens are also engaged in different jobs, and they don't look like any evil killing machines.

Speaking of superpowers, if according to the previous standards of SHIELD, more than 70% of the people in the Osborn Group should be controlled - do you know how difficult it is for me? "

Fury used his terminal to display a list of some aliens. Not only were not all of these aliens engaged in war, but some were even engaged in jobs that were completely unrelated to his abilities.

For example, a young man named Lincoln has the ability to control and generate static electricity, but his job is to be a veterinarian...

The strength plasticity of these old aliens is very poor. At most, the Osborn Group will conduct regular physical examinations on them and will hardly interfere with their personal lives.

In general, there is no difference from ordinary people.

"I understand, so a good company suddenly appeared on the earth, and it helped end the global war. As a result, the earth entered an era of great development, and mankind had no worries about food and clothing...

And all this... took less than 10 years? "

"Sounds a bit like a fairy tale, but that's how it is." Fury shrugged.

"Too fast..." Carol said with a frown.

As she said, there are not many aliens in the universe who live a good life like this, but even if they have full contact with advanced aliens and even receive help, they have evolved over a long period of time. .

The development of Osborne Group is like an abnormal variable in the long history.

She believed that the earth might reach that day, but this development trajectory was beyond her expectations and imagination. Time seemed to have accelerated, and the entire earth society was moving forward at a rapid speed.

And the earth has developed so rapidly, but it still can't find the tail of the Osborne Group...

Fury then asked: "So, will you help? Anyway, the purple-skinned madman sounds more threatening."

Carol retracted her thoughts: "You said so, do I have any other choice? And it is my duty to maintain the peace of the universe. I am Captain Marvel."

"Then, you are welcome to join."

......

Too fast, right?

Nothing on the Enterprise escaped Harry's perception, and he also heard Carol's words.

The growth of the Osborne Group has indeed been rapid.

Looking at the group's development history and its full technology pool, Harry felt a sense of accomplishment.

But... it's developing too fast to be considered a problem, but it's definitely an anomaly.

"Ois, what do you think of the company's development speed? Compared with the history of the earth?"

"Sir, I have always established the corporate management model and the earth society model separately. The gap between the two has been increasing, and the similarity is not high."

Harry was silent for a while and opened the star map.

"Then go faster."
