The End of the World: Chaos

"Continue!" Lu Yu ordered.

Without stopping, the new assistant reported in detail Ivan Vanko's recent work progress and achievements: "Recently, according to the plan set with Commander Sitwell, Ivan Vanko has developed a streamlined version of the first generation of Iron Man combat suits, and is preparing to publicly display them at the upcoming Stark Technology Expo to win military orders and give Tony Stark a slap in the face!"

This is also part of Lu Yu's promise to give the father and son a chance to fight back.

“How is the performance?”

"As you requested, the performance is less than one-tenth of the original version. The weapons it is equipped with can only cope with conventional warfare. It has built-in hidden entrances and self-destruct devices to ensure that it will not fight against friendly forces and will not be cracked by others!" the female assistant replied.

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction. He was not afraid of such mechanical equipment, but he also did not want his friendly forces to become targets, so he issued such an order.

“What’s the price?”

"One hundred and fifty million each, about twenty times the manufacturing cost!"

"It's really shady. The price is almost as high as that of a general high-end fighter jet. Will the military not raise any objections to such a defective product?" Lu Yu asked.

"We've analyzed it. Currently, only Tony Stark and I own the Iron Man suit. He obviously won't sell it. If the military wants to get it, they can only buy it from us. It's a seller's market now, and they have no choice!" the female assistant responded coldly.

Lu Yu thought about it and agreed!

As long as the military wants the Iron Man suit, they must accept their conditions.

This is the sweetness of monopolizing the market.

Of course, every sweetness comes with a price.

"You must have also been besieged by other arms companies!"

"A number of companies that started out as arms manufacturers, led by Hammer Industries, want a piece of the action!"

"Oh? How did you deal with it?" Lu Yu asked curiously.

"Fight back! With the strength of Hydra, we are fearless!" said the new assistant with a smile.

Lu Yu also laughed.

Indeed, the power Hydra controls is enough to ensure their dominance.

“Later, they settled for our agency.”

"Agency rights? This thing can have agency rights?" Lu Yu couldn't help but marvel at it.

"Yes, they said that as long as we agree, they can help us sell these to the world and make more money. Military orders alone are not enough. Military orders only prove that the weapons are good enough. To sell them at a higher price, more channels are needed. They claim that they happen to have these channels!"

"They really don't know anything about power!"

Just because they control these channels? They probably don't know how many resources Hydra has controlled in the past few decades?

"Yes, the value of existing orders alone exceeds 100 billion, not including orders from the military and Hydra!"

Hydra was also interested in the Iron Man suit. After learning that Ivan Vanko was "one of their own", they expressed great interest and were even willing to buy it at a premium.

“We haven’t accepted all of these orders yet, boss. Should we accept them?”

"Accept it. Why not? Why not make money? However, we still have to have a bottom line. After all, we are pacifists. Forget about Hydra and other terrorist organizations. We only accept those from various countries!"

New Assistant: "..."

Pacifists? Us?

It seems that neither our Hydra in disguise nor the true nature of the mysterious organization are pacifists, right?

Ivan Vanko's new assistant would like to say this.

But she was tactful enough not to say it.

But Lu Yu knew it well.

"Are we going to call ourselves the Great Devil?"

Also!

Ivan Vanko's new assistant thought, indeed. In this day and age, who doesn't want to wear a nice coat? When Tony Stark was selling arms, didn't he call himself a peacekeeper and a defender of America?

Skipping this topic, the new assistant said to Lu Yu: "Everything else is fine, but it seems a bit problematic not to sell it to Hydra. Their power is not small!"

“That’s why we can’t sell it to them!”

The new assistant was confused.

"Selling it to them will make them stronger. This is a great opportunity to increase our power!"

After a pause, Lu Yu continued: "Besides, do you think they can provide us with legal funds for public use?"

All Hydra forces are hidden in the dark, and their funds are inevitably illegal income.

It’s not easy to use this money!

The new assistant couldn't help but think of this.

"But, will this give them a reason to take action?"

"Why would they do that? Will they do that? Besides, they didn't sell us their own research and development products, did they? What reason do they have to do that to us?"

"All right!"

The new assistant had nothing to say. He took note of Lu Yu's plan and planned to deal with it later.

This is not something she can do alone. It requires the joint efforts of Sitwell and Ivan Vanko!

"Boss, any other instructions?" asked the new assistant.

“Not for now!”

"Do you want to see Ivan Vanko again?"

"No need, let him play slowly!"

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, Lu Yu did not stay any longer and left directly.

Returning to his underground space, he planned to divert his attention and kill some time.

However, before he started, he received a communication from Garrett with a message.

"Boss, Lena just had a dream. She dreamed of a hammer and a man falling from the sky in a beam of light!" Garrett said to Lu Yu.

“She dreamed about it, too?”

What does it mean? Is there anyone else who has also dreamed about it?

Garrett was confused.

"I understand. I will handle this matter myself. Keep a close eye on Lena and don't let her disclose anything casually. Don't worry about it either!" Lu Yu said lightly.

“Yes, Boss!”
