Rise of an Empire

"This is a national-level meeting. Anyone who is not interested should leave immediately."

Seeing that Howard and Conrad were sitting at the conference table leisurely, General Kukoff suddenly said angrily.

They are dividing the profits now. What do you two bourgeois want to do sitting here?

Four of the eighteen-nation coalition were allies of the Soviet Union, and the remaining thirteen were all allies of NATO.

If it weren't for the heavy losses caused by attacking Wakanda, it would be impossible for these two groups to come together to discuss cooperation.

"We are here to discuss business," the Duke said with a slight smile and rubbed his hands.

"How you allocate your share of vibranium has nothing to do with us, but you will always have to sell those vibranium."

It turns out that vibranium is a very rare super metal. All countries need this metal for experiments and for use in some high-precision engineering equipment. Moreover, vibranium has no output at all on the earth. If you want to get vibranium We can only rely on luck and see if God will drop two meteorites.

This is also the main reason why the price of vibranium remains high.

But once there are too many tasks, the price will collapse.

The same goes for vibranium

If you are facing ignorant people from the outside world who don't know what's going on, you can also block the news to deceive them, but since the other party has already sat at the negotiating table, I think the news must have been leaked.

After all, this is a joint operation of multinational forces. If you want to keep it secret, it is nonsense.

"You want to buy vibranium?" General Kukoff relaxed his brows and asked in a calmer tone.

After exploration by the joint forces, Wakanda's vibranium reserves even exceeded 500,000 tons. Even after thousands of years of development by those black people, less than 1% has been mined until now.

There is so much vibranium that no one can use up.

After all, no one can be so wasteful as those African natives, using vibranium to make swords and spears, right?

"Of course, otherwise General Kukoff thinks we are here for something." Although the other party's attitude was a bit arrogant, Conrad would not argue with the other party.

He is here to do business. If he can't even accept such rude words, wouldn't he become one of those noobs who is said to kill other people's whole families just by looking at him?

"Very good, very good." After General Kukoff learned that the other party was not here to share profits but to give money, his old face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum smile.

Although vibranium is good, it cannot be used as food. Although the Soviet Union currently lags NATO in terms of military strength, its domestic economic system is really in a mess.

Anyone who has eaten from a big pot or worked in a state-owned enterprise knows that economic development under collectivism is simply a mess and can never be calculated clearly.

The Soviet Union actually wanted to do business with the outside world, but unfortunately, NATO was not willing to do business with them at all.

After all, if you can't beat the other side in terms of military strength, then you should drag the other side down economically. This has also been the political benchmark of the United States since its founding.

If it were other businessmen, they would naturally not dare to risk offending the government by doing business with the Soviets. Even if they did trade, they would definitely be done privately and on a small scale.

But Howard and Conrad?

Howard dared to turn the Strategic Bureau under the US government into an international organization more than ten years ago. Now it is just doing some business with the Soviets. What's the big deal?

As for Conrad?

Anyway, as long as he did not openly provide some key technologies and core equipment to the Soviet Union, no one would dare to propose impeaching him in Congress.

The subsequent negotiation was simple. The two of them successfully purchased 10,000 tons of vibranium from the coalition at a price of 10,000 US dollars per kilogram.

The Soviets directly snatched 35% of this 10 billion US dollar order. General Kukoff instantly regarded the two of them as money-splitting boys. Their enthusiasm and diligence were completely different from before.

If you have money, you are a master. This saying is indeed true everywhere.

After negotiating the price and confirming the delivery time, Conrad followed Howard and left the coalition command headquarters.

How to divide the spoils inside has nothing to do with them. With 10,000 tons of vibranium, even Zaku Yamato can build an army.

Those niggas in Wakanda are obsessed with vibranium. Even through N'Job's channels, they can only get up to ten or eight tons of vibranium in a year, and the price will be astronomical.

Now, although it seems that the two of them did spend a lot of money, in fact, the money was all obtained from selling vibranium in the past two months.

It was just a matter of switching from left hand to right hand, and the two of them actually made a fortune.

Those who are really losing money should be those countries and scientific research institutions that have purchased vibranium some time ago. I think next month, there will definitely be a bunch of people crying and jumping off the building.

Of course, that kind of thing has nothing to do with the Duke. What he has to do now is to go back and quickly establish the shuttle production line, and strive to defeat Atlantis as soon as possible.

After all, time waits for no one, it’s already 1980, that brat Tony is already eleven years old, and God knows when Marvel’s main plot line will start.

I fully calculated that I only have twenty or thirty years left at most, so I really need to hurry up.

Especially since Conrad is planning to rely on several major events to improve his strength.

Time flies, time flies.

Soon, half a year passed.

"The production line of the submarine shuttle has been fully constructed. It can now produce forty finished products every day. And after testing, the performance of this batch of products all meets the standards and is more robust than the shuttles made by the Atlantis people. Four times stronger”

Thrawn took the report and reported to Conrad.

He is now responsible for all related businesses in the entire Weiting Industrial Park, and he is also in charge of the shuttle production line this time.

After all, this thing is relatively advanced compared to the current earth technology, so it must be done by someone you trust.

"It's four times as strong as them. Doesn't that mean we can push straight away now?" After hearing Thrawn's report, the Duke was immediately overjoyed.

Although the Heidi shuttle is actually the technology of the Atlanteans, Howard's IQ is indeed far higher than that of the ocean people who are resting on their laurels.

Especially now that the price of vibranium has dropped sharply, the shuttles produced are all coated with a layer of vibranium directly on the outside, making the shuttles produced even better than Atlantis.

"Well, I'm afraid there's still something wrong with this," Thrawn looked embarrassed and muttered in a low voice.
