American comics: Starting from a copycat arms dealer.

Chapter 2 Hive Base
Tony destroyed batch after batch of Jericho missiles, and as a result, the number of Jericho missiles on the battlefield in the Middle East seemed endless, with more new Jericho missiles appearing every day.

In desperation, he could only find S.H.I.E.L.D. and commission them to send elite agents to investigate the source of this batch of unidentified arms.

As a special intelligence organization under the World Security Council, S.H.I.E.L.D. has 300,000 elite agents under its command and has countless secret bases around the world.

Even though it has been infiltrated silently by Hydra, its intelligence capabilities are not to be underestimated.

The first thing he did was to send out the Black Widow Natasha. Even though Carl had completely cleaned up the mess, she still found some clues.

Carl is now in the office of the Hive Base. Looking at the figure of Black Widow on the holographic projection in front of him, he feels a headache.

Black Widow is now inside the Umbrella headquarters building above his head, disguised as an inconspicuous ordinary employee.

Although in her opinion, her infiltration process was flawless, but in the eyes of the artificial intelligence Red Queen, it knew the entire process of Black Widow's infiltration clearly.

There are surveillance cameras throughout the Umbrella headquarters. From the moment Black Widow sneaked in, Red Queen locked onto this sneaky "ordinary" employee.

"Although my strength is not weak now, compared with S.H.I.E.L.D., it is really difficult to take down this Black Widow directly unless we have a falling out."

Carl muttered to himself.

After two years of development, Carl injected himself with a perfect version of the T-virus, which greatly improved his speed, strength, stamina and other aspects.

Even Carl's telekinesis was awakened.

His physique is almost equal to Captain America. In terms of superpowers, in addition to telekinesis, Carl also possesses an uncanny sixth sense that is sharp enough to detect satellite surveillance in outer space.

This sixth sense, which is almost the same as Spider-Man's, allowed Carl to avoid countless dangers when he was developing his power in the early stages.

But now Carl's development has almost reached a bottleneck.

Some more powerful genetic weapon technologies, such as Spider-Man's same genetic modification technology and X genetic modification technology, are so expensive that Carl cannot collect enough US dollars to exchange them in a short period of time.

He spent nearly 200 billion US dollars to develop the Umbrella Group.

Human cloning technology, memory transplantation, T-virus biological weapons, artificial intelligence, and armed satellites.

These five major technologies cost Carl half of his funds.

A lot of money was also spent on some minor technologies, such as the Osprey tilt-rotor transport aircraft manufacturing technology, holographic projection technology, laser net defense technology, etc.

It can be said that he bought almost all kinds of cheap weapons and technologies in Carl’s first-level mall.

The lowest price for the technology in the system's secondary mall is 100 billion.

After considering it, Carl felt that he still had to develop steadily. He should first expand the umbrella to a point where it could influence the world situation to a certain extent, and then slowly purchase the technology in the secondary mall.

This is also because it is now 2010 and the Marvel world has not yet reached its most dangerous time, so Carl implemented the strategy of keeping a low profile in the early stages.

But now, it is probably difficult for him to keep a low profile, as the Black Widow is right above his head in the Umbrella Tower.

With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s all-pervasive capabilities, once they have noticed that there is something wrong with the Umbrella Corporation, they will definitely find ways to get to the bottom of this arms company that appears to be functioning normally.

At that time, confrontation is inevitable, but Carl will have to consider carefully how to fight against the now powerful SHIELD.

Is it radical or temporary compromise?
He began to ponder in his mind.

A holographic projection of a little girl in a red princess dress appeared from Carl's left. This was the artificial intelligence Red Queen. [Boss, should we send out armed guards to control Black Widow?]

[After intelligent simulation calculations, ignoring the consequences of property damage, the probability of successful capture is 79.13%. If Agent Ada Wang is sent in, the success rate will increase to 98%]

Agent Ada Wang was cloned by Carl. Instilled with the memories of various agents, Ada Wang is the most elite beautiful agent in his hands.

Carl was wearing a custom-made suit and sitting on a leather seat with a glass of 1999 red wine from Chateau Botus.

Hearing Red Queen's question, he frowned, his face looked a little hesitant, and he fell silent for a while.

After careful consideration, Carl felt that it was not appropriate to break off relations with SHIELD at this stage. Although he was not afraid, this meaningless confrontation was bound to affect his arms trade.

The US dollar is his lifeline now. If he goes to war with SHIELD, not only will his arms trade continue to develop, but it is hard to say whether he can find buyers who will not give SHIELD face.

SHIELD's influence in this world is still terrifying, and ordinary buyers usually dare not continue to trade arms with Carl and risk being wanted by SHIELD.

Therefore, he couldn't act rashly against the Black Widow right now.

Now she can't find this underground hive base for a while, and this time point is exactly the time point of the movie Iron Man 2.

When Iron Man Tony Stark is about to die from palladium poisoning, he does all kinds of irrational things.

I think Black Widow will still be sent to Stark Industries by that idiot from SHIELD to lurk beside Tony and investigate his mental state.

It is better for the umbrella group to keep a low profile during this period, and it is better to temporarily stop the special arms trade.

Wait until you buy the X-gene modification technology in the secondary mall, transform yourself into a superpower like Apocalypse, and then transform your loyal subordinates into an X-superpower team.

By then, Umbrella's strength will be able to completely crush SHIELD. Even if Umbrella's special arms deal is exposed, Carl will not be afraid of being targeted by the whole world.

"Monitor this 'ordinary' employee for now. As long as she doesn't find out about the existence of the Hive Base, don't take any action."

After Carl thought it over, he gave instructions to Red Queen.

Red Queen said respectfully.

[Understood. Set Black Widow's authority to D3 level ordinary staff and continue monitoring.]

After Red Queen finished speaking, the holographic projection disappeared.

Carl's eyes were still fixed on the Black Widow in the holographic projection in front of him.

"I'll give you another chance to live. I hope you don't really find out anything, otherwise I don't want to be so cruel as to kill one of the protagonists of the Marvel world."

Although the Black Widow looks good, Carl is not the kind of saintly person who would sympathize with women, since he has chosen the path of arms trading.

Kindness has long been out of Karl's reach.

Since 2008, Carr has sold nearly 47 million AK-7.62 rifles and hundreds of billions of bullets.

Most of these cheap and durable rifles were sent to war-torn areas. It can be said that Carl contributed to every person killed by these rifles.
