From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"~~~!"

Following a burst of melodious opening music, the picture turned from dark to bright, and the screen showed a live broadcast room of a news program.

The camera first focuses on the dynamic projection of the main entrance of the Kremlin, then gradually zooms out and moves to the right, and you can see a female host in a white suit, sitting on the side of an "L" shaped table. The speed of speaking introduced:

"Hello everyone, welcome to this episode of "See the World in New York." My name is Monica Electra. Three days ago, on July 18, I visited a small town called Mozhaysko on the outskirts of Moscow. A very bad terrorist attack broke out in our town, so who planned and organized this terrorist attack? What impact will this incident have on us? And will it affect the relationship between the United States and Russia? "

Speaking of this, the female host paused deliberately.

The camera zoomed out again until it showed the entire live broadcast room. On the other side of the "L" shaped table, there was an officer guest wearing a US military uniform with white temples.

“On these topics, we are honored to have Lieutenant Colonel Denzel Walton, a U.S. Army expert and expert on the former Soviet Union.”

"Monica, hello." As soon as the female host finished speaking, the officer took over the conversation: "All viewers who follow "New York See the World", hello everyone, I am very happy to be here to help you solve your doubts. ”

"Then Lieutenant Colonel, I'm afraid to believe that you, like the viewers sitting in front of the TV, have seen the video footage and interviews exposed by Russian news. May I ask who you and the military think is most likely to plan this terrorist attack? Woolen cloth?"

"Hmm..." the U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel looked a little thoughtful, as if he was considering his words, and then responded to the female host's question: "Based on the existing information, one thing we can be sure of is that the personnel who launched the attack on Ruf Military Industry were well-trained. The military quality is not inferior to, or even better than, that of some active special forces in various countries.

According to years of research and intelligence analysis we have, the turmoil and chaos during the disintegration of the Soviet Union led many former Soviet military personnel to defect, flee, or become mercenaries, or simply become gang-related killers. .

Therefore, judging from the characteristics of rich combat experience, mutual cooperation, clear goals, and proper division of labor, the combatants who launched terrorist attacks have a high probability of being military personnel from the former Soviet Union.

As for who planned the attack, the military and I cannot give a definite answer because there are too many suspected targets, such as competitors of the Zogorskiy Ruf military industry and extremist organizations that want to return Russia to the Soviet era. , these are all possible. "

"Former special forces participated in terrorist attacks. My God, just listening to Lieutenant Colonel You said, my scalp feels numb. Fortunately, I live in the United States, living in New York..."

Hey!

Before the female host could finish her emotion, the screen was suddenly turned off manually, plunging into darkness again, and the conference room fell into silence again.

The big screen that originally played "See the World in New York" was placed in an extremely spacious conference room with good lighting.

Looking out through the fan-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side, you can enjoy the clear blue sky at noon and the Empire State Building two blocks away.

It can be inferred from this that the high-rise building where this conference room is located is located on Manhattan Island on the east coast of the United States.

And through the ubiquitous words "Vought International", the true "identity" of this high-rise building can be easily revealed. It is the headquarters of the arms company that developed Compound No. 5——

Water Tower.

At this moment, there were three people sitting at the "V" table made according to the Watt International logo.

With his back against the floor-to-ceiling window, sitting at the top of the "V" table, he is also the person with the highest status in a suit and leather shoes. His skin is dark, and his face and expression under his glasses reveal indifference.

On the left side of the "V" table is a male researcher wearing a medical white robe with a Mediterranean hairstyle, and on the right is a female executive dressed in a shirt and short skirt.

These three are Stan Edgar, Vought International's board representative and president, Jonah Wagbaum, chief security officer and director of research, and Madeleine Stillwell, Vought's vice president.

"Ms. Stillwell." At this time, Edgar broke the silence and first asked Madeleine: "The attack on the Ruf Research Center has caused a lot of noise. Presumably, you have already investigated who the organization is. Planned and carried out the attack, didn't he?"

Hearing this, Madeleine glanced at the paper file in front of her, and responded with a somewhat erratic look: "Mr. Edgar, actually we can't pinpoint who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and there are people who know the specific location of the soldier boy. The only person capable of organizing a raid of this scale is the CIA.”

"CIA, of course, I can guess that they are the most likely without you having to tell me, but Ms. Stillwell, are you 100% sure that it is the CIA? Rather than a domestic American arms dealer that competes with Vought International? "

Edgar finished his sentence with an emphasis on "American."

Although Edgar had always maintained an expression of emotion and anger, Madeleine still felt nervous. She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and said quickly:

"I can't be 100% sure. Atlas has been busy with mining in Africa recently and has taken the initiative to withdraw from all arms bidding this year and next year. Invisible Man's intelligence on Seattle also confirmed that although the other party is still very opposed to the "Superhero Law and Order", they are also observing the attitudes of other peers and waiting for an opportunity.

Besides, Atlas just signed a cooperation agreement with us not long ago and created a new-looking uniform and armor for the upcoming seven-member team. After all, the other party's aesthetics has always maintained a high level, which can be excluded from the ranks of suspects.

The second is Lockheed Aerospace Manufacturer. Their entire focus this year and next year is on the acquisition and merger of Martin Marietta. At present..."

"No need to continue. Anyone can investigate these." Edgar interrupted Madeline's report and turned his attention to Vogelbaum. "Dr. Vogelbaum, the Envoy of the Motherland (The Homelander)'s status, can it perfectly surpass the Soldier Boy who has been eliminated by us in all data. "

"In theory, there is no problem at all." Wogbaum was much calmer, "Soldier Boy's physical defense may be a little stronger than John, but in terms of laser power and strength, speed, reaction, etc., it has already broken all records. Even if our competitors have Soldier Boy as a weapon, it will be useless.

Only in terms of status..." Wogbaum looked at Madeline sitting opposite, and said meaningfully: "We need our Vice President Stillwell to help, after all, nothing can really control it."

"I'll try my best." Madeline sighed heavily.
