Chapter 68: Excessive stress and need to relax
"Ah? That one hundred billion! I will declare bankruptcy to the public in the near future. That's it. I have something to do, so let's die first!"
Nick Fury listened to the busy voice coming from the other end of the phone, slowly put down his cell phone and fell into contemplation about this absurd world.
A day later, all social software in Umbrella's software development subsidiary started bombardment for a whole day.
Netizens who were originally looking forward to a new day had just opened their familiar software and a gray-white photo popped up, with the incident written on the side: Gilmohodge, the founder of Umbrella, passed away at noon yesterday.
What! Mr. Gilmore is dead!
Netizens around the world are ignited by this incident. Since the founding of Umbrella, Hodge has been working hard to promote the harmony and progress of the world. Many people in the world have received funding from Umbrella.
When others hear the name Guilmohodge, they will give him a thumbs up and say: Great charity!
After leaving people's vision seven or eight years ago, I finally announced my death today.
There was no sign of precedent, and since this sudden news, people all over the world were about to explode.
The American people who claim to be the center of the world also share a deep feeling. Umbrella's social welfare institutions are open to every city and every town in every state.
Many poor people, many who have been in difficult times, have received more or less help from Umbrella, or to be precise, they have received help from Old Hodge.
They learned about the death of Old Hodge. Because they could not suppress the sadness in their hearts, they all wore pure black clothes and marched on the streets.
I want to influence transportation on this sad day and burn several capitalist shops to promote peace.
The social response caused by the death of Old Hodge was very great, and it also caused a lot of shock to the Englishmen.
Those people will care about the death of Old Hodge? They only care about one thing, and that is who the heir of Umbrella will be!
Mike Jim Eugene Dobby?
Who will it be?
Soon, they learned through government channels that the heir was not any of the above!
The heir is actually a legendary hero who has survived from World War II to the present, Lieutenant Colonel Hawkeye. They also learned that Captain America is still alive.
When the two were dug out of the ice, the first person they knew was the United Nations, then the Washington side, and finally S.H.E.L.D.
In the middle of this process, there are quite a few people who know William Evans and Steve Rogers. Those capital tycoons control politicians to some extent. It is actually very simple to learn some news through them.
Those who learned about this shocking news also Tony was preparing for a birthday party.
"William inherited Umbrella? Sorry, can you say it again?" Tony was stunned and could understand all the words, but why did it become so strange after it was combined?
Pepper sat on the sofa a little tired, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "William has become Umbrella's director and arbitrator. Now Umbrella seems to be William's."
After taking over as the executive president of Stark Industries, although only a small part of the work needed to be handled, Pepper still felt tired.
It is indeed very tired to manage such a large company... Spiritually, every decision she makes needs to be carefully considered and considered. This is no longer a matter of herself, and she cannot be as casual as Tony.
It would be good to get used to it for a while, but the news that William suddenly took over Umbrella still caught her off guard. This was actually a good thing, because William and Tony had a good relationship with her.
As long as she thinks about the cooperation projects that Stark Industries can reach with Umbrella in the future, she will inevitably be a little excited.
After thinking for a while, Tony shrugged, opened a bottle of champagne, and poured himself and Pepper a glass.
"It's very sudden, but it's not our business!" He handed the champagne to Pepper, Tony and him flirted with him gently and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "The position of the president should be heavier than you think. I was not always playing at that time!"
Pepper took the champagne, sniffed a bit, chuckled, and said softly: "So you know you were playing at that time!"
“Occasional relaxation is very helpful in handling busy work, what do you think?”
Looking at Tony's frivolous face, Pepper's body temperature is gradually rising...
"Alcohol!"
...
On the other hand, William got off a classic black SUV and entered Umbrella's military weapon development base with McHodge.
After skimming through the huge factory buildings, McHodge took William directly into the deepest place and took the elevator. After a dazzling button operation, the elevator finally went down a hundred meters and arrived at the place William was going to visit today.
When the elevator opened, the first thing William saw was a huge and bright space.
When you walk out of the elevator, there is a circle of guardrails in front of you. The left side of the guardrail leads to the control room, and the right side is the downward stairs.
Below the guardrail is a scene that can make everyone dumbfounded.
Below the huge cube space, more than 20 huge rocket-shaped cylinders are arranged. From the appearance, it can be basically confirmed that it is an intercontinental missile.
The next moment, McHodge's words confirmed William's conjecture.
"These are intercontinental missiles we have been secretly built with government funding over the past 30 years. At the same time, there is also a fully automatic launch program here. As long as we lock the target, we can cover half of the planet."
McHodge's tone was full of pride, which was actually no secret. The missiles here were just one of the many secret bases built in the history of Umbrella's development.
Although it seems to be an excellent private enterprise, Umbrella is actually the second largest terrorist organization in the world...the first is the American government.
Umbrella once gathered a large number of outstanding German scientists and Soviet scientists, while maintaining the appearance of a good enterprise, while studying nuclear bombs on the grounds of studying nuclear power technology.
When Umbrella successfully developed the nuclear bomb, the American government realized something was wrong and led a large number of agents to enter Umbrella's headquarters building that year, hoping to force Old Hodge to hand over the nuclear bomb.
No one can find the secretly transferred nuclear bomb except Old Hodge. In that era when cameras were underdeveloped, there was no good way to lock the position of the nuclear bomb.
The American government finally chose to compromise and signed a series of py agreements with Umbrella, and defaulted to the growth of Umbrella's private armed forces.
These missiles actually belong to the American government to some extent and will be given to the US military when necessary.
Looking at the dozens of intercontinental missiles with a cold breath below, William nodded with satisfaction. With these armed forces on earth, there is really no need to be afraid of anyone.
But it's not enough!
"I should have written in my notebook that our enemies are from space?" William turned around and looked at Mike, who was full of pride.
When McHodg heard this, he immediately lowered his head in shame: "Sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, the space weapon development strategy had stopped five years ago. At present, we have not mastered the attack methods from Earth to outside space... However, yesterday! We have restarted the space development plan and invested 5% of the... "
William waved his hand, interrupted Mike's explanation in a panic, nodded and said, "It's already good, by the way, I need a batch of living creatures."
Mike, who was interrupted, dared not be angry. After hearing William's orders clearly, he thought about it with a strange expression, but asked carefully: "Woman?"
