Begin from the original form of torture and become immortal

Chapter 1405: What’s the use of having a powerful background?

General Ross was furious. He strode towards Chang Wei, ready to question his intentions: "Chang Wei, what do you want to do? This is a military operation. You have no right to interfere!"

"I should be the one to say this to you, General."

Chang Wei smiled gently, and slowly opened his helmet, revealing his angular face. The folding storage design of the helmet startled Tony who was present again.

After all, the most he could do with his helmet was to open the visor, but Chang Wei was able to fold his own helmet. If the material wasn't strong enough, doing so would actually make the helmet structure fragile.

This is something that I cannot imitate or surpass.

Tony complained silently in his heart. This technological leap made him both envious and helpless.

Every breakthrough in armor design was accompanied by countless failures and attempts, but Chang Wei always seemed to be able to overcome those seemingly insurmountable technical obstacles in a nearly miraculous way.

This feeling of powerlessness made Tony more determined to continue exploring and innovating.

"Who do you think you are? You can blame the military at will?"

General Ross tried to regain his face, but his voice lacked confidence.

Facing General Ross's questioning, Chang Wei seemed particularly calm: "General, you should be very clear that privately leading a team to conduct military operations at Columbia University not only violates many laws and regulations, but also caused an uproar in the international community. This irresponsible behavior has brought a negative impact on the country, which is far more serious than a Green Hulk."

Chang Wei said this without giving any face.

"Chang Wei, don't forget, we are protecting this country and its people from those monsters!"

General Ross said.

Chang Wei shook his head slightly, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Protect? General, your actions are more like creating panic. Do you know how many innocent students and faculty members this action has put in danger? Do you know how strong the international community's reaction to this is? Our allies are questioning our judgment, and our enemies are secretly gloating, thinking that we have lost our minds."

He continued, with a hint of contempt in his tone: "As for your so-called protection, in my opinion, it is nothing more than a manifestation of your personal heroism. You forget that we are a team, a country, not your own stage. Your unauthorized actions have put unnecessary pressure on the entire military and even the country."

General Ross's face turned even darker, and he could hardly control his anger. But at this moment, Chang Wei changed the subject, and his tone revealed a hint of threat.

"General, you should understand that in this circle, strength is everything. Although you still hold the title of general, you have lost too much support in the military-industrial complex. A small mistake is enough to make you fall into the abyss."

General Ross is nothing. He is now a giant in the military-industrial complex. No one will help him even if he is just a general and is killed.

Although General Ross seemed to have a lot of connections and background, he was not severely punished or even sent to jail after the abominable incident. Instead, he was simply released from the military and even became Secretary of State.

You know, that's Secretary of State, not an ordinary position.

The chief executive of the American State Department, who handles all foreign relations, is equivalent to the Secretary of State, who is the prime minister.

This is the real big shot. After all, there are many generals, but there is only one Secretary of State in the country.

From this we can see that General Ross has a lot of power behind him. The last person to leave the military and enter politics was Eisenhower!

Moreover, you need money to enter the political circle. Without money, how can you promote your political ideas?
If you don't publicize your political views, how can you let the public know you?
This is the truth about the American presidential election. It will never have anything to do with ordinary people because they cannot afford such a huge expense. The only ones who can do it are the representatives of major financial groups. Then, after these financial groups’ representatives come to power, they will naturally serve their financial backers.

As for the political ideas in the propaganda speeches? They were just farts blown away by the wind. General Ross's face was livid. He certainly understood the risks of this operation, but as a general with a deep military background and a strong sense of responsibility, he believed in his own judgment and believed that it was necessary to directly intervene in the potential threat of the Green Hulk.

However, facing Chang Wei, a figure who holds a pivotal position in the military-industrial complex, General Ross's authority seems to become pale and powerless.

"Chang Wei, don't forget, I am also considering the safety of the country. The existence of the Green Hulk is an unstable factor for the entire world."

General Ross attempted to justify his actions in terms of the higher national interest.

"National security? Humph, General, do you really think that you can solve all problems by suppressing them with force?"

Chang Wei's rhetorical question was full of irony. "Ares Industries has always been committed to maintaining peace through technological means, rather than creating more chaos. The problem of the Green Hulk requires a scientific solution, not blind violence."

General Ross took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

He knew that it was not a wise move to confront Chang Wei head-on, after all, the influence of Ares Industries should not be underestimated. More importantly, the resources and technology in Chang Wei's hands were enough to allow him to be superior to the military in some aspects.

"Okay, Chang Wei. You said we broke the rules, so what do you want to do?"

General Ross's tone softened a lot and he began to try to negotiate with Chang Wei.

"It's simple. This operation will be taken over by Ares Industries."

Chang Wei said without hesitation.

"We will be responsible for handling the Green Hulk and any subsequent problems that may arise. At the same time, we will conduct a comprehensive investigation into this incident to ensure that something like this does not happen again."

General Ross frowned when he heard this.

Once he handed over control to Chang Wei, it would mean that he had completely lost the initiative in this game.

However, what can he do in the face of Chang Wei's strong attitude?

"I will explain all this to the military!"

General Ross left angrily with his men.

Temporary retreat does not mean permanent surrender, but waiting for the right opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

Chang Wei did not stop him. General Ross's words meant he was giving in. Even though he had extremely powerful people behind him, did that mean Chang Wei had no power?

With just one thought, all of America belongs to him.

"You really stole the show."

Tony said with a smile.

"Stark Industries could do that before."

Chang Wei shook his head.
