Rise of an Empire

It was a pleasure meeting with Anton Vanke.

Everyone in the Mao Xiong people can drink. Even though Anton Vanke is a top nuclear physics and kinetic energy scientist, his drinking capacity has not diminished at all.

Although Anton Vanke and Howard are still in the honeymoon period, he is just a high-end wage earner. It is okay to drink alcohol every day, but it is completely wishful thinking to drink top-notch wine every day.

So when a bottle of top-quality Polish distilled vodka costing several hundred yuan was served, the old boy's smile was never heard at all.

"Duke Weting, you are so polite." Holding the hostess in his arms, Anton Vanke smiled broadly and raised his glass to Conrad.

It's true that he is a top nuclear physicist, but Soviet scientists are really not worth a lot of money these days.

Otherwise, Anton Vanke would not have smuggled himself into the United States at the risk of being shot.

I remember that when he was in Moscow, his job was just enough to put food on the table, and drinking rum mixed with water was a luxury.

But now, sitting in a luxurious box, with a pink girl in his arms, and a bottle of top-notch spirits worth several hundred dollars in his hand, Anton Vanke is extremely lucky. He made the decision to smuggle himself to the United States back then. That's so true.

"I personally admire Mr. Vanke's knowledge very much. Your contribution to nuclear physics and kinetic energy is definitely among the best in the world. A talent like you certainly deserves such treatment." Conrad shook the red wine glass in his hand , said after clinking glasses with Anton Vanke.

That kind of top-grade Polish distilled vodka is not for people to drink at all. Conrad felt that even drinking industrial alcohol would be much better than that thing, but it was a shame that the bear in front of him could drink it.

Now Anton Vanke is less than forty years old, which is when he is strong and strong. With a physique of nearly two meters and his majestic body, anyone who sees him at first glance will think that he is practicing training. Fighting and fighting.

"It's ridiculous, my little ability is really not worth mentioning in front of you, Lord Duke." Although he is as famous as Howard as the world's top black technology master, but compared to Howard's arrogance, Anton Vanke's character is better Much more

This guy is simply stubborn. He probably put all his talents into research and invention. After a drink, he almost revealed the color of his underwear.

"Your Majesty the Duke, he's just a Soviet guy, is it necessary to do this?" Thrawn asked strangely as he watched the drunken Anton Vanke being carried down by several girls.

There is no way, national discrimination is everywhere. Although the Soviets are quite talented in fighting and drinking, in terms of economy and culture, they are completely crushed by others.

Anton Vanke is obviously a super-power nuclear physics dynamicist who is almost as powerful as Howard, but he is just a handyman in the Stark Group. Not to mention Howard himself, even the butler Jarvis can assign him at will. Work.

So Thrawn felt a little puzzled that Conrad came to entertain the other party in person.

The other party was just a technician sent by the Stark Group to help solve the energy problem of the nickel-cadmium battery pack. This level of reception was enough for McCoy and Hedy Lamarr, and even Thrawn, the great butler, came to receive it. It’s all over the standard.

But now, Conrad has condescended to come to accompany and entertain him in person. Isn't it too shameful for him?

"Thrawn, do you still remember the table I drew for you?" Conrad patted Thrawn on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

"You mean, that list of scientists?" Thrawn thought for a while and then remembered.

That was three years ago. At that time, Conrad had just traveled through time. For his own plan, he drew a list of world-famous black technology masters at this time, and Anton Vanke's name was prominently on the list.

"If he is really a top scientist as you said, Lord Duke, how can we keep him here?" Thrawn asked with a frown.

Now he and Gudrun have completely believed Conrad's lies. Although predicting the future sounds like nonsense, haven't they encountered many strange things in the past three years?

Conrad led them to develop crazily in just three years, from just three or two kittens to the current large scale. Not only have their assets and manpower increased dozens of times, but more importantly, they have not yet grown. This ability to attract the attention of any hostile force is truly embarrassing.

You must know that when the Führer was eighteen years old, he was just a wage earner wandering around in Vienna.

So now they will only obey Conrad's decision unconditionally and will not ask any questions at all.

Even the Third Reich at that time attached great importance to these top scientists. Thrawn naturally knew how much help a top scientist would bring to the big plan, so he immediately began to figure out how to give Anton Vanke to Cut off the beard.

Based on Anton Vanke's performance just now, Thrawn thought that it would not be difficult to keep the other party. Anyway, it was nothing more than money and fame. Since the other party was willing to run away from the Soviet Union, it was obvious that he was not an idealist at all. It would definitely be better to talk to him about money. Talking about ideals is much more reliable.

But what we need to worry about now is that the other party is seconded from the Stark Group. If he is intercepted directly, it will mean a full-scale falling out with the Stark Group.

As we all know, Howard Stark is not a generous person, and he is famous all over the world for his pettiness.

With their current soft power, if they confront the Stark Group, it will really cause some headaches.

"Don't think too much, just let him enjoy these days. If you have time, express our goodwill to him, but don't be too deliberate." Conrad smiled.

He had just heard from Anton Vanke that he was currently working with Howard on a big project. Of course, he was basically doing the work, and Howard was just providing ideas and general direction.

The Ark Reactor is definitely not something that can be built with current technology, but that doesn't stop him from pocketing it first.

After all, he is still very young. Even if he survives to the age of Iron Man, he will still be in his sixties, so he can definitely afford it.

What's more, now he has gathered a group of top scientists who can be regarded as elites. It shouldn't be a big problem if he had built the steel suit thirty or forty years earlier.
