Chapter 45

"Long time no see, Howard."

Luke finally got out of the admiration and applause and returned to the temporary base of the strategic science Corps.

Walking into the gate, I saw Howard stark, as the chief scientific research consultant, busy all the time.

He has several positions and multiple identities.

He is not only the biggest weapon sponsor of the allies, but also a smart and famous scientist.

It not only has strong financial resources, but also has strong practical ability. It has invented many novel things for the allies.

Many big men in the Ministry of defense have a good impression of this arms tycoon.

Talents like this will not be ignored by the strategic science Corps.

In the name of a research consultant, Colonel Phillips enlisted Howard - even though the old soldier didn't like each other.

"Luke - do I need to call you brigadier general?"

Howard turned his head and said with a smile.

"Congratulations on becoming a hero of the Allied forces again! To tell you the truth, I really envy you. I just need to report my name to make countless women throw themselves into the arms. I have to show my car keys, book a seat in a high-end restaurant, and show my humor and charm by the way. Only those beautiful girls are willing to sleep with me."

These days when he came to the strategic science corps, Luke also had a clear understanding of Howard.

Different from the later mature, steady and serious founder of the Divine Shield Bureau.

Now, the arms tycoon who led Stark's industry to the rise is no different from his son.

He likes to prove his strong charm as a male creature by hooking up with beautiful women.

That mouth will never spit out appreciation and affirmation for others - it is said that this is the consistent arrogance and poison tongue of the stark family.

Compared with Tony Stark, who has not yet become an iron man, he has only machinery and women in his eyes.

Howard has only one more hobby than his son, making money.

In just a few decades, stark industries can catch up with old giants such as Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and general dynamics, and try to catch up with them.

Among them, Howard's long sleeved communicative ability and his genius brain account for a large part of the credit.

"I don't think you're trying all your tricks, are you?"

Luke made a light mockery.

Within the strategic science corps, many people say that this unruly Playboy risked the front line entirely for the cold and gorgeous female agent, Peggy Carter.

The other party wants to pick this charming and thorny red rose and kiss it.

Unfortunately, Carter ignored him and refused to date many times.

"After that flight, Carter and I went to eat cheese hotpot once."

Howard was elated, like a victorious soldier.

"Mr. stark, you don't think that I don't know that the so-called 'cheese hot pot' is cheese and bread. If you eat bread together, even if you capture your heart, isn't it that half a woman in New York has had sex with you?"

Luke sneered deliberately.

"What do you know? Be patient with women."

Howard was not angry, but put on a senior posture and taught: "You should be like Don Quixote who charged against the windmill and start over again. At the same time, don't lose the bottom line too much and act extremely eager, which will make the other party feel that your feelings are cheap and don't pay attention to them, but you should boo the cold and ask the warm at any time - if the woman's heart is a solid castle, then I must be the best at attacking in the world General of the city war! "

"Since Carter promised to have dinner with me, it won't be too far away."

Luke smiled faintly when he saw Howard boasting about himself.

The other party's appearance is quite similar to his son.

It seems that narcissism is also one of the traditions of the stark family.

However, in Luke's view, Howard is not only a successful businessman, but also the world's top scientist.

Compared with his son, the iron man father is actually better in all aspects.

The first is Tony Stark's high-tech battle armor, which uses the core technology ark reactor.

Howard developed it as early as a century ago, but due to the material conditions at that time and the limitations of the times, he could not meet the requirements of miniaturization.

Otherwise, no matter how smart Tony is, he wants to knock out a suit of armor with a hammer in the dark and humid cave and design an unprecedented cold nuclear fusion energy, which is tantamount to a fantasy.

His father has already paved the way to become a superhero!

Later, Tony, who incarnated as iron man, was troubled by palladium poisoning, and the new element to solve the problem was first discovered by Howard and left to his son.

In other words, his father's mind is ahead of the whole era!

Tony's future achievements are not only supported by Stark industry as a strong financial support and solid technical support.

More importantly, he inherited the knowledge left by his father!

That is the most precious legacy!

"I heard that you stole the fighter order contract of Lockheed Martin company before, and recently won another aircraft order contract that should have been for them. Someone in the Ministry of defense has expressed dissatisfaction with you."

Luke said casually.

Howard, who was busy studying Hydra energy weapons, looked a little ugly and said unkindly, "I told the secretary about this problem. There is fierce competition among peers, which is inevitable. If Lockheed Martin is dissatisfied, let their researchers work harder and try to keep up with my talented brain!"

It can turn Howard, who was still elegant and taught his experience of flirting with his sister, into a poisonous tongue in an instant.

It can be seen that Lockheed Martin has indeed caused some pressure on stark industry.

"Why, brigadier general, are you going to lend a helping hand to help stark industries through the difficulties?"

As a smart man, Howard quickly read other meanings from Luke's words.

"With all due respect, you may not be able to get involved in such a thing."

At the helm of stark industries, he said tactfully that Luke's current position might not help.

After all, the rank of epaulets is one thing, but the actual power is another.

Unless Luke can sit in Eisenhower's position, he may be able to speak.

"The future, no one can say, right, Howard?"

Luke looked at the new weapons of the strategic science corps and caught a glimpse of a glittering round shield below.

"Can I have this? Steve will love it."

Thinking, Howard waved his hand and motioned Luke to take it.

Anyway, in terms of military rank, the other party should be the leader of the strategic science Corps.

"But are you sure Rogers will use this thing? It's just an unfinished product."

Aware of Luke's faint intention of cooperation, Howard's attitude changed a little.

He is a pure businessman, far from noble sentiment and good quality.

An arms dealer who hopes to make a fortune in war cannot attach great importance to moral conscience.

As for patriotism, they will wake up only after they stand at the peak of their career.

Just like only successful entrepreneurs will be keen on charity and show their love.

"Believe me, Steve will definitely fall in love with it at first sight! I really don't want to see him go to war with a dustbin lid."

Luke said with a smile.

Perhaps it was because he was beaten as a child and often used the garbage can cover on the side of the road as a weapon. As a result, the captain of the United States liked to fight with a shield.

"The material of this shield is very special. It is called 'vibration gold'. It has a special effect of absorbing kinetic energy, and hardly transmits heat and kinetic energy. To some extent, it is indestructible!"

Howard explained.

"Unfortunately, this material is too rare! It can't be equipped by the whole army!"

Seeing Howard's regretful expression, Luke's eyes flashed. He knew that there was a huge amount of vibrating gold veins somewhere.

Vacanda.

A seemingly backward third world country with advanced science and technology but extremely backward performance.

Hidden among the mountains of the African continent, few people know its existence so far.

"You can go for a stroll when you have time."

Luke looked at the shield in his hand, reflecting his young face.
