The mechanical craze in Marvel

We are willing to provide $30 billion in financial assistance, but the price is a 22% stake in Lockheed Martin.

His face radiated confidence.

Prior to this, he had been keeping an eye on Locke Technology's situation.

At first, Locke Technology's resilience alarmed him, but with his patient waiting, he finally realized that Locke Technology had entered a weakened state, and the enormous financial pressure had brought Locke Technology to a near standstill.

He had been waiting for this opportunity for two whole months.

$30 billion is enough to alleviate the current crisis, while a 22% stake can give Nolan Locke the illusion that the company is still under his control.

The presence of military and White House officials here is also putting considerable pressure on Nolan Locke.

With such comprehensive preparations, Nolan Locke had no chance to refuse.

“What are you still thinking about, Mr. Locke?”

I believe this is a win-win collaboration for both of us.

"Want shares in Locke Technology? Looks like you're keeping a close eye on it. Locke Technology's cash flow just ran into trouble, and you already knew about it."

"I'm sorry, but I have no plans to sell my shares in Locke Technology at the moment. I can lend you the money at 30% interest. If you don't agree, let's leave it at that."

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly fell silent.

"Nolan Locke, do you think you can keep going?"

General Ross stared intently at Nolan.

Nolan had a playful look on his face.

"In fact, I think there is absolutely no problem. I always thought we were good allies, but you have let me down."

General Ross, you now have only two choices: convince the White House to allow you to lead troops to attack Lockheed Martin, or get out of here.

Upon hearing Nolan's words, General Ross flew into a rage.

No one dared to criticize him, and no one could criticize him.

"Nolan Locke, you're facing the White House now!"

He spoke angrily:

"If you continue to resist, you will only head down the path to your death. Leave now, and with your abilities, you won't be too badly off. But if you don't want this plan, I can guarantee you're dead!"

Nolan wasn't angry; he just smiled and said:

“You’re wrong. I’m not facing the entire White House…”

His voice carried a hint of deeper meaning.

Two months have passed, and these guys really think he wasn't prepared at all.

That would be underestimating him.

Then Nolan suddenly spoke up:

"General Ross, Lockheed Martin has filed charges against you, accusing you of abusing your power to coerce Bruce Banner and to hunt him down."

The right to freedom is sacred and inviolable. General Ross, you have violated freedom!

I guarantee I'll sue you until you're forced to resign.

"Fake!"

General Ross burst into a tirade.

Accusation?

He really wanted to say that he didn't care at all.

But that won't do.

If Lockheed Martin were to sue him, many of his political enemies would not let the opportunity pass.

General Ross's face grew increasingly grim.

But he quickly calmed down.

"You'll soon find out what happens."

After these people left, Nolan pursed his lips and then made a phone call.

"It's your turn to make your move."

……

Chapter 208: Nolan Locke was killed!

Nolan is not an idiot.

He has a clear understanding of the world.

Now that they know that General Ross's faction has begun to target him.

How could he possibly sit idly by and wait to die?

Although the White House approved the plan against him, the White House has never been a person.

It was a group of people.

Even the president cannot control everyone's will.

In particular, actions against him have absolutely no legitimacy whatsoever.

Most people chose to temporarily abandon the rules.

But there are always some people who believe that once rules are broken, they can never be closed again.

The unspoken rules will be broken, and the future will become uncertain.

It's just that the will of this group of people was suppressed in this matter.

Nolan found them and united with them.

To fight against the world with one's own strength is not only impossible for him, but even if he could, the consequences would not be what he wants.

But he doesn't need to do that.

All he had to do was be one of them and fight against the other.

He needed to solve this problem, while the conservatives, who had been suppressed, also wanted to take power, so the two sides naturally hit it off.

Now that the radicals have taken action, it's time for them to do the same.

Next came the political struggle.

But he didn't care about any of that.

He only needs to step up at crucial moments.

In the following period, the two political forces began to clash fiercely.

General Ross and his men never imagined that Nolan Locke would have secured allies in such a short time.

The situation has changed in a way that has exceeded their expectations.

Nolan Locke, who was directly involved, surprisingly distanced himself from the situation.

Of course, it can't be said that it has been completely removed, but at least through the struggle between conservatives and radicals, the forces targeting Lockheed Martin are no longer so great.

Even though it still has some impact on Locke Technology, this impact is no longer fatal to Locke Technology.

At the same time, even Nolan did not expect the competition between the two sides to go to such an extent.

After a busy day, Nolan sat on the sofa watching TV, where there was a lot of recent news.

Both sides exposed each other's shortcomings, and it's unknown how many politicians resigned as a result.

"Dear viewers, it has been reported that on the evening of the 21st, Councilor Rivera was attacked at his home. The identity of the attacker is currently unknown, and there are traces of a violent explosion at the scene."

The cameras were then moved to the home of Representative Rivera.

The entire villa was charred black, most of the house had collapsed, and police officers had cordoned off the area.

Nolan also remembers that Rivera was a staunch conservative.

Although they had never met, he had heard of the name.

Being attacked at this time...

"Was it the work of the radicals?"

Nolan hesitated.

He knew that political struggles could sometimes be more dangerous than a battlefield, but such an act of directly attacking a member of parliament could easily escalate the conflict between the two sides.

It didn't take long.

Nolan received a phone call from a conservative.

“Mr. Locke, you should already know that Representative Rivera has been killed.”

"of course."

Nolan nodded. This was a major event, and the news would spread through far more than just one news outlet.

“Congressman Rivera is a pillar of our society. He has been fighting against the radicals all this time, and he also has considerable influence in the business world.”

His death has put us in a very passive position.

Nolan's heart stirred.

He could certainly understand what the other person meant. Rivera had a great influence in the business world, and now that he was dead, he, as a businessman at the center of the vortex, was naturally the first to be affected and the one who would suffer the most.

The other person was still talking.

"The most troublesome time is now that we have internal divisions... You should understand that the killing of Senator Rivera means that the impact of this matter is no longer just political."

Those bastards have taken the war from politics to lives, and many are worried that it will escalate further.

Nolan frowned upon hearing this.

"You mean you're planning to give up?"

During this period, he had already prepared countermeasures and began to transfer Locke Technology to other countries.
