The mechanical craze in Marvel

One sentence silenced everyone's faces.

"What are you going to do?"

One of them suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, General Ross spoke:

"It's very simple. Cut off Locke Technology's military development channels, and at the same time suppress Locke Technology's speed in civilian technology. Locke Technology is not one person's territory. Once things start to escalate, things will naturally become simpler."

This is just the first step, and it is an absolutely legal one.

He has used his connections to sever ties between the military and Lockheed Martin.

In terms of civilian technology, there's no need to cut off the supply; just delay it.

The processing speed is a bit slow, isn't that normal?

General Ross's lips curled into a smile.

Soon, the vote was held.

Of the 13 people, 8 agreed to crack down on Locke Technology.

As for the remaining five people, they insisted that the right to freedom is inviolable, but unfortunately, their words had no effect on this matter.

Suppress Lockheed Martin!

Through legal means, let Locke Technology fall into the abyss step by step!

General Ross felt refreshed as he left the conference room.

Compared to the power of the entire nation, the power of an individual is truly insignificant.

However, he will give Nolan Locke another chance.

Although the agreement had been reached at the meeting, they were all well aware of the extent of the problems that would result from doing so.

If Nolan Locke were to be pragmatic, even he wouldn't mind letting Locke Technology continue to exist.

His eyes were filled with fervor.

No one is above the government.

This is his justice!

No, this is the only true justice!

Nolan had no idea what was happening inside the White House.

"In the next quarter, we need to transfer 76% of the resources in the military industry to civilian use, but at the same time, the development of the military industry cannot be stopped. The current problems are only temporary."

During the meeting, Nolan spoke eloquently.

Since the military industry cannot continue, let's just abandon it for now.

Although it is unknown what General Ross did, Locke Technology's intelligent combat weapons have an absolute leading position.

Just like in the main universe—no, in this universe, because his development is so rapid, Justin Hammer is even researching how to give those clumsy behemoths some combat capabilities.

The technological gap between the two sides is at least thirty years.

Can the military hold out for a few months, or even for thirty years without buying?

Moreover, he has enough confidence in civilian applications.

Nolan surveyed the area.

Many people were dissatisfied with his falling out with the military, but no one spoke up.

Nolan chuckled softly.

This is the advantage of absolute control.

He doesn't need someone who can interfere with his command.

"Also, why hasn't the K9 life robot project started yet?"

Nolan looked at the person in charge.

The person in charge stood up helplessly.

"Boss, I submitted my proposal a long time ago, but it still hasn't been approved..."

……

Chapter 207 You're going against the White House!

"Didn't pass?"

Nolan frowned.

What reason did they give?

"There's no reason. We've urged them several times, but the answer is always the same: it's still going through the process."

The person in charge looked helpless.

Following his words, several other responsible persons also spoke up.

"It's not just the K9 life robot project; our virtual film and television project is also still going through the process."

The same applies to the "Mirror" project.

In the blink of an eye, five or six people stood up.

They all have some newly launched projects that are going through the process.

Upon hearing this, how could Nolan not have reacted?

These projects are all lifestyle-related sub-projects. In Nolan's plan, they are sufficient components to build the Locke 'Empire'. They are not dangerous, have low technological content, and some are even just substitutes for products from other companies.

These should have been the projects that were easiest to get approved.

But now, everything is stuck in the process.

"What's going on? If anyone breaks the law, I'll let them know that Locke Technology's legal department isn't just for show!"

Seeing Nolan's gloomy face, a project manager spoke up:

"That's not the issue. In fact, everything is legal."

The approval process for each project involves numerous steps, and the legally stipulated timeframes vary. However, we observed that all these steps were being conducted under strict time constraints by the other party.

As he spoke, he smiled wryly:

“Although this is in accordance with regulations, what should have taken three days for us now takes at least three months.”

At this point, he hesitated for a moment and said:

"Not only that, I've discovered that it seems we're being targeted not only in the approval process, but also in other areas..."

Nolan's expression grew increasingly grim.

What should have taken three days to accomplish, will take three months. If other aspects are delayed, it means that even if he wants to establish a project, it will still take half a year.

What can you do in six months?

In the business world, six months is a whole era!

This two-week delay was enough for him to miss all opportunities.

Moreover, this obvious approach makes it easy for people to perceive the actual situation.

At that time, it won't just be a matter of the project being delayed by six months; various partners and even buyers may abandon Locke Technology for this reason!

This is a killer!

A game-winning shot that should never have happened.

Nolan closed his eyes.

Is this something General Ross could do?

It wasn't that simple. He simply didn't believe that a high-ranking military general could extend his reach into the entire business system.

If that happens, the president will arrest him for treason tomorrow.

So now there's only one possibility.

This was not an action instructed by any single person.

Just thinking about it sends chills down Nolan's spine.

This is a decision made by the White House!

Lockheed Martin is now on the White House's blacklist!

When Nolan opened his eyes, his expression had returned to calm.

"boss……"

The person in charge hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"This matter is probably quite troublesome; perhaps you should try to find some connections."

"I see."

After the meeting ended, Nolan sat alone in the conference room, his expression shifting.

Susan finally came in after a long while.

"Nolan, what's wrong?"

She wasn't in the meeting room earlier because she was dealing with production line issues.

"Someone is trying to get me."

Nolan sighed.

Susan paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Isn't this normal? With the current rate of development of Locke Technology, I'm afraid the entire high-tech industry is dissatisfied with us."

She wasn't worried.

That's how the Doum Group started when she was working for Victor.
