In the top-secret base of the Ten Rings, Zhang Tong was making the final preparations. As he said before, he was going to kill Tony Stark. If his men couldn't do it, he would personally end the playboy's life.
And now, he decided to bring forward his plan. This was because Tony's speech on TV made him feel very, very unhappy. In particular, the sentence "The Lord Man should be displayed in a museum like the Terracotta Army" really hit him where it hurt.
Even if he didn't say it out loud, Zhang Tong knew very well that he was behind the times, and this wasn't something that could be caught up with hard work. Zhang Tong was a stubborn guy, and he wouldn't change his mind once he made up his mind.
And now, he was ready. A 200,000-ton tanker sailing from Central Asia to New York Harbor was ready to set sail. But this was just a disguise on the surface. There was no place to load oil except for the top level of the tanker.
The entire lower deck had been remodeled, turning it into a real troop transport ship. It carried a group of elite soldiers under Zhang Tong's command, 500 wyverns of various colors, and a group of dragon knights specially trained by Zhang Tong.
That's right, Zhang Tong wasn't going to kill Tony on his own. Because killing Tony alone wouldn't completely get him out of his predicament.
As a leader, Zhang Tong was more far-sighted. The chaos that might be caused by the arrival of the new energy era, such as the war in Eastern Europe. These were his best opportunities.
As a guy with huge ambitions, the more chaotic the world was, the more he could fish in troubled waters. If the world was really peaceful, then he wouldn't have any chance at all.
Killing Tony would make the world focus on Latvia, because he would become the only person in the world who still had the ability to mine helium-3 on the moon.
Provoking greater chaos and even war. That was what Zhang Tong wanted to do. For example, creating a huge mess in New York and blaming it on Latveria.
It was a simple and effective idea. Because Latvia did have the motive to attack the P5 countries, because it was the P5 that first started the war in Eastern Europe.
In retaliation, this is possible.
However, what Zhang Tong didn't know was that Doom from Latvia had already held a secret meeting with S.H.E.L.D. and Spear Game. The three parties had reached an agreement.
He was still thinking of muddling up the situation so that the Ten Abstinences Gang would have a chance to rise in the future. They had to seize the last and best opportunity at the beginning of this turbulent era.
Now that they were one step behind in terms of information, it would cause the entire plan to fail.
Of course, Zhang Tong was still unaware of all this. He also did not know that on Venus, which was further away, the members of the Illuminati were having their nth tea party, and the topic of their discussion was about him.
… …
At the Venus base, in the lounge of the Illuminati.
Because Thor had just joined the organization, everyone hoped that the atmosphere wouldn't be too serious. It didn't feel good to have a meeting with a stiff atmosphere. "Hmm? Have Illuminati meetings ever been serious?)
Because Tony was a person who liked to enjoy life, he also integrated his personal preferences into the construction of the Venus base. For example, a lounge was set up on the floor of the conference room.
It included comfortable sofas, a holographic projection theater, and a huge swimming pool. There was even a miniature ecological circulation system. An ecological garden, a soilless vegetable garden, and a water orchard were built in the base.
In the lounge, the sunlight simulated by the dome made people feel as if they were in a park on Earth.
Smoke rose from the kitchen chimney. It was emitted by a high-end outdoor oven. Using applewood and lychee wood as fuel, Li Jie was roasting large pieces of steak and chicken.
The gravy stewed with the leftovers of the steak was mixed with some onions, chickpeas, pepper, salt, and other seasonings. He was repeatedly helping to spread the sauce on the steak and chicken.
"Is the information on the Spear Game accurate?" Li Jie was helping to spread the sauce on the meat and chicken while paying attention to the heat. At the same time, he was discussing the Spear Game and the Lord Man with Captain Rogers.
"There should be no problem." Captain Rogers was not idle either. He was washing a kale, then breaking off the leaves of the kale one by one. He said, "Shang Qi said that they have planted a mole in Ten Rings for many years. Although he has always been on the periphery, he has been responsible for transporting oil and other supplies for a long time."
"I heard that he received news that the Lord Man has mobilized a ship to go to New York. But he doesn't know the specific model. Is it an oil tanker, a cargo ship, or an ordinary yacht? But one thing is for sure, the Lord Man is definitely going to make a move. "
Captain Rogers was not good at cooking. Li Jie was not very satisfied with the kale leaves he broke off.
"Captain, wait a minute. Don't be too deliberate. Just tear it with your hands. Don't make it too big or too neat. Only in this way will the texture of the food be rich. " Li Jie first taught Captain Rogers the essentials of making salad before turning back to the matter of the Lord Man.
"Then it's up to you, Tony." Li Jie smeared the sauce evenly on the roast meat and chicken and pointed at Tony with the sauce brush.
Tony had just finished swimming in the pool and was sitting by the pool cleaning the water out of his ears. He picked his ears and said, "I've asked Jarvis to set up enough neutrino detectors at the main docks of New York Harbor. Those little things are not much bigger than black beans. If there are enough of them, they can scan all the ships entering and leaving the dock. "
Of course, it was illegal to do so under normal circumstances. But now that they were setting up a trap for the Lord Man, no one cared whether it was legal or not.
Hank was pushing the professor's wheelchair out of the orchard. The professor had picked some tomatoes and cherries. Li Jie motioned for Thor, who was laying the tablecloth, to come forward and help.
"Professor, from that Amudila (a guy Tony found in the headquarters of the Ten Rings Gang in the Middle East), how much did he say?" After Li Jie finished processing the roast meat, he began to prepare the oil and vinegar sauce for the salad.
"A lot. What he said was the truth. He provided a lot of maps about the distribution of the Ten Rings Gang's base. It seemed like he was quite important in the internal department. There's a lot of information that the Spear Game doesn't have, "the professor said as he handed all the fruits on his lap to Thor.
"Then let him sort it out. I'll contact Dum later and give him this information. Let him have a target to target when he launches an all-out attack. " Li Jie mixed Pasa Mick's vinegar, salad oil, pepper, salt, and a small amount of grapefruit pepper and French mustard.
He began to stir the salad. At the same time, he asked Captain Rogers to cut some incense sticks with a knife.
As Li Jie stirred the salad, he said to Dr. Hank without looking up, "I'm still a little concerned about what Shang Qi mentioned about the Lord Man's Wyvern."
"The Spear Game isn't sure if the Wyvern really exists. Even if it does exist, I'm afraid there aren't many of them, maybe only one or two." Captain Rogers reminded Li Jie while fighting with the incense sticks with a sharp knife. "A small number of mutant creatures won't have a decisive impact on the battle."
"Maybe." Li Jie tasted the vinegar sauce. After making sure it was right, he began to stir the salad. "But we can't let our guard down at any time."
"Professor, how many warships can we disguise and hide at one time?" Li Jie asked.
"Right now, there are about 70 warships that can be used in coordination. After mastering the method, the construction speed of the smart factory is much faster than traditional factories. And we have an almost inexhaustible supply of minerals on Venus. "Dr. Hank pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.
"Then get everything ready. If necessary, we'll send them to Earth. At the same time, let our Thor make an appearance. "Li Jie put the salad on the table.
Thor laid a blue and white checkered tablecloth on the table. The colorful food made it look very appetizing.
The steak and roast chicken were almost ready. Li Jie took out the steak and let it sit for a while to conduct heat. This was to prevent the meat from being roasted over the fire until it was too hot.
Two roast chickens were first served on the table. Captain Rogers took out silver cutlery from under the table.
Li Jie pointed at Tony, who had just cleaned himself up, and said, "Mr. Iron Man, can I trouble you to get my bread in the oven? It should be cool by now."
Tony waved his hand. He went to get the bread and a bottle of champagne king from his private wine cellar.
"Okay, guys, I think this is the first dinner of the Illuminati, but it won't be the last." But it won't be the last time. "Li Jie raised his champagne glass and made a simple toast.
"Food, sunlight, air, and water. Let us be thankful for all of these. At the same time, I hope that one day more people can have all of these. "
Rogers raised his glass. "To peace."
Tony: "To freedom."
Thor: "To honor."
Hank and Professor Charles: "To everything."
Li Jie raised his glass. "To us!"
The champagne in the crystal goblet was a charming champagne gold, and the cut beef revealed a tempting pink. The eternal sun shone on Earth, exuding a warm orange.
Interstellar battleships powered by warp engines and micro-warp engines had a flashing blue and white tail flame.
Far away on Earth, oil tankers departing from Central Asia only emitted black exhaust gas after the combustion of their internal gas turbines.
Some things were bound to be eliminated once they left this era. No matter how they struggled, it was futile.
Dum in Latvia received a message from Li Jie with a smile on his face.
