Rise of an Empire

“Why can’t one-click acceleration happen in reality?”

The Duke lay on the table quite depressed, muttering unconsciously to himself.

I originally thought that I had mastered an undersea shuttle that was several times more powerful than the Atlanteans. I should be able to directly take over the entire ocean kingdom with one push.

It is already somewhat impossible to vigorously develop one's own power on land. With the development of science and technology, we have now fully entered the concept stage of the global village. No matter where you work in the corner, you will always attract the attention of others.

Just like the niggas in Wakanda, when no one paid attention to them, they could naturally hide in the African interior and become local overlords. However, once the news of vibranium was leaked, in just ten days, the entire Wakanda people Almost all the information has been collected by various countries.

Although it is said that he has a large part of the credit for this, it also reflects from the side that the current earth is really dangerous.

After all, according to the Duke's idea, he would build a standing army of about 100,000 people at least, and it would be a fool's errand to completely hide an army of this number.

Even just asking Ito Ichijo to train three thousand dead soldiers in the desert has already attracted the attention of all parties. When Lyndon had a Christmas dinner last year, he vaguely reminded Conrad that there should be no second-guessing soldiers in the United States. An independent armed force is needed.

Unless Conrad is really willing to stand on his own feet and take his men to Africa or South America to establish an independent country, otherwise he will probably not be able to develop his own private armed force.

But if he really pulls his own troops to establish an independent country, he will immediately receive resistance and suppression from all aspects.

Friendship belongs to friendship, and interests belong to interests. In the political confrontation between countries, no matter how good the relationship between individuals is, it will not help.

On the one hand, Conrad wants to use his current identity to plunder resources and build an information network, and on the other hand, he wants to quickly train his own private armed forces, so Atlantis is indeed the best choice.

With the current human technology, it is impossible to detect the conditions at the bottom of the ocean. No matter how he develops there, it will never attract anyone's attention.

And the most important thing is that Atlantis is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If something goes wrong one day, he can hide in it directly.

It's just that even though he had already thought about how to sneak into Atlantis and destroy their city defense system, he forgot one of the most important issues.

That is, although machines can be mass-produced at will, qualified combatants do not fall from the sky.

The dead soldiers trained by Ito Ichijo were originally only trained according to the combat group army. Basically, everyone mastered the use of various hot weapons and combat cooperation, even including tank driving and flight training.

However, driving an undersea shuttle is completely different from all the knowledge those people had learned before. Besides, how to fight in the deep sea is also a completely unfamiliar combat field.

Even though those soldiers have been studying the undersea combat mode day and night, being able to drive the shuttle in a short period of time is already considered the limit. If you want to rely on such driving skills to attack Atlantis, it can be said that you have to send it to Atlantis. Food.

You must know that it takes several years to train a pilot, let alone this latest technology undersea shuttle.

According to Thrawn's budget, without two years of training, his group of people would not be able to go to the battlefield at all.

That's why the Duke kept lamenting that he was really miserable.

Why is it that when other people are fighting for world hegemony, they can command millions of elite soldiers with just a wave of their hand, but why is it so difficult for us to have 3,000 pilots here?

"Why are you so listless?"

Frost and Linda walked in from the door. Seeing his appearance, they immediately asked with curiosity.

Conrad has always given people the impression of being quite sunny. Even though his hobbies and ambitions are not very bright, overall he still has a lot of fighting spirit.

Although it seems that Duke Wetting is not doing his job properly, and his daily hobby is beauties and delicious food, but in any case, he has built his own business empire in just ten years, so even if he does nothing every day, there is no People dare to say that they are not doing the right thing.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little worried." The Duke got up from the table and said, shaking off his decadent posture.

Just two years, it’s not like I can’t afford to wait.

Seeing that he didn't want to tell what was going on, the two women didn't ask any more questions. After all, Conrad had too many secrets, and with his personality, no one would ask for trouble.

"You two come together, what's the matter?" Without thinking about Atlantis's troubles, the Duke asked the two women in confusion.

Because Frost quietly modified Linda's thinking, the relationship between Linda and her was very good, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two were close friends.

But it is really rare for two people to work together to find him.

Because the Duke has a bad taste for being slept with, and both Frost and Linda are more shameless, so they will not come to see Conrad together unless there are special circumstances.

"There is an invitation, and we want to ask you if you want to go." Frost took out a golden invitation from his bag and handed it to him and asked.

"Who is so tacky?"

Conrad looked at the golden invitation in his hand, dumbfounded.

Did the guy who sent the invitation have the money to burn it? He actually made the invitation out of gold, and the English words on it seemed to be plated with vibranium.

Even though the price of vibranium on the international market has dropped sharply due to Wakanda being breached, it can still be sold for thirty dollars per gram.

The cost of this invitation alone is estimated to be worth several thousand US dollars, plus the cost of craftsmanship, it won't cost even RMB 10,000.

Even with his current net worth, he felt that this invitation was indeed a bit over the top.

Although people's living standards have gradually improved due to the increase in world prices and economic development in recent years, ten thousand US dollars is still an amazing number for ordinary people.

Nowadays, the annual salary of elite white-collar workers in Manhattan has only just reached this figure.

One invitation costs a senior elite's entire year's salary. It can only be said that the guy who made the invitation is not only rich, but also loves to show off.

"Your aunt and your cousin, who else could it be?" Linda curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said with jealousy.
