Chapter 222: Past Events

"The Ark Reactor... yes, that is Howard's work." Obadiah responded to the military's question, and Yin Fan looked away from Stark and glared at Obadiah.

Obadiah saw his eyes and said: "I know that there is a person here who calls himself the Lord of Suffering and thinks that Howard stole his father's achievements."

Obadiah leaned back in his chair, his voice filled with nostalgia: "Anton Vanko, a scientist from the Soviet Union."

When he said the name Soviet Union, the oldest general on the field looked at Obadiah. A young general seemed to want to stop Obadiah from continuing, but the general looked at his subordinates. For a moment, in the end, no one spoke, only Obadiah's voice echoed in the room.

"Anton is indeed a genius scientist. He is a very orthodox Soviet man. He is extremely talented in industry and machinery, especially in terms of theoretical knowledge."

"He and Howard work together seamlessly...I have to say, Howard is also a genius, but he is more creative and has a flexible mind. Anton is more technical and theoretically rigorous. They used to be very tacit partners."

Yin Fan seemed to want to say something to refute, but Obadiah's tone of recalling the past carried the special imprint of that era, which made people see the somewhat faded Iron Curtain era.

"At that time, it sounded so ridiculous for an American and a Soviet to invent together. Even if Anton said he betrayed the Soviet Union, no one would believe it."

"If you check now, you should still be able to see a lot of lengthy investigative reports in the CIA's files, recording the movements of Anton and Howard."

"Although 90% of them are just illusions that I put in, there is no doubt that Anton is indeed worthy of their energy and attention, because he can really come up with something that changes the world."

"Howard and Anton created the model of the Ark Reactor together. Yes, this was not Howard's invention alone. Anton was also the creator of the Ark Reactor."

There was silence in the room. It seemed that neither Stark nor Yin Fan had any objections to this result. Stark no longer cared much about whether the Ark Reactor was created by Howard alone, but Yin Fan seemed to have expected it. .

Obadiah leaned back in his chair, moved his body, changed his posture, and continued: "Now, I am the only one who knows this story, but maybe you can all guess it."

"Howard and I knew Anton's true position. He was a staunch Bolshevik."

"As a result, as time went by and the situation in his homeland became increasingly dire, conflicts between them broke out."

Obadiah's tone began to become more and more ethereal, as if the story of that year was constantly playing before his eyes.

"Give up, Anton, nothing good will come of it!"

"Why don't you see it yet? You can't save your country with one technology or one person." In the laboratory, Howard pressed Anton's shoulder. Although he was much smaller than Anton, his attitude was Very determined.

"As long as you stay here, the two of us can make more money, we will have food and clothing, and your son will get the best education. There is no need for you to go back to the ice and snow."

"Anton, Obadiah has a way to make your disguise true, as long as you..."

Anton slapped his hand away and said: "This is you, Howard, you don't understand what I am pursuing..."

Howard took a deep breath and looked very helpless. He said, "I don't want to talk about faith with you. I'm just telling you a fact. It's too late now."

"Even if you go back with this technology, what you will face may not be the praise of heroes. You should understand better than me..."

Anton looked back at Howard and said, "So who caused this?!"

"Do you want to take your anger out on me?" Howard was also a little angry. He said, "I'm just kindly advising you. Faced with the bad results that can be expected, why are you unwilling to make a little change?"

"You Americans call this flexibility, yes..." Anton's tone was full of sarcasm. He seemed to not want to talk to Howard any more, so he picked up the model and left.

"You can't take it away!" Howard stopped Anton.

"This is the research result of the two of us! Do you want to monopolize it?" Anton was completely angry. He cursed in Russian. Howard was also very angry. In the laboratory, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two. .

"Finally... Obadiah protracted and said: "Anton took away some of the information and returned to his hometown. "

"I know that your father should have been very resentful of Howard before he died. He thought that Howard was trying to keep the research results for himself, so he stopped him from taking the model back." Obadiah shook his head and said.

"But in fact, if he really wanted to take the model to the Soviet Union, he would not be able to get out of New York without being killed by the CIA."

"At that time, the red giant beast was already on the verge of death. No one would allow anyone to give it another dose of cardiotonic. At the final critical stage, if Anton got the model, he would definitely die within three days. "

Obadiah's voice was serious. He looked at Yin Fan and said, "Actually, your father has brought back enough information. If you can make an Ark reactor from scratch, then they can definitely do it too, and they can even make it." 's better.”

"But unfortunately, just as Howard predicted, it didn't work and by then it was too late."

Yin Fan did not hear the condescension of the winner in his tone, nor even the sarcasm. Obadiah's tone was complicated, full of nostalgia and regret. Finally, he said:

"Stark died in a car accident on December 1, 1991. On December 26, 1991, the Soviet Union announced its disintegration."

Yin Fan was silent for a while and said involuntarily: "On December 28, 1991, Anton Vanke died."

The air in the room became quiet, and Tony Stark, Obadiah, and Yin Fan Vanke were silent. They didn't know how to express their feelings in words.

Just like everyone who witnessed the end of that era, the stories that happened during the Iron Curtain Era were both bizarre and ordinary. When hearing such a story, everyone felt ridiculous, but they felt emotion coming from nowhere.

Except for Yin Fan Vanke, everyone here is the owner of the victory. But when this story was told in the room, few people could laugh.

"Your father will resent Howard, maybe because he still has the illusion that if he gets the complete model, he can save everything."

"But maybe, before he died, he already knew that this was impossible, but he just didn't want to tell you. He didn't want to tell you that he didn't realize until the end that he had no comrades anymore."

Obadiah sighed again. He looked at Yin Fan and said, "Your revenge is destined to fail because you are different from your father."

The tone in which Obadiah told the whole story made the young generals who were listening very dissatisfied. They tried to interrupt him several times, but they were all stopped by the old general at the head.

"These grievances and hatreds are in the past, Obadiah." The old general said: "We all know that that era will never come back."

"Let's put aside these past things and let's talk about practical issues."

Obadiah stroked the pen in his hand and said: "As you can see, the Ark Reactor is not the patent of Howard alone. Anton Vanke also enjoys this achievement, and his son has already made the finished product. If If he is willing to hand over this finished product to you, the Stark Group will not stop him."

"If possible, we still want to cooperate with Stark Group."

The old admiral took one look at Yin Fan's face and felt that instead of trying to get the technology from the old Russian in this state, it would be better to suffer the consequences and wait for Obadiah to blackmail them.

Obadiah looked at Justin, and Justin's back went cold.

Schiller drank the last sip of coffee and put the empty cup on the table. At this time, Steve walked in. He took a glass of water from the water dispenser next to him, drank it in several sips, and said, "Hammer Industries was indeed The military is taking the blame. It seems that the situation is about to calm down. "

"Where did that Yin Fan go? He must have been sent back to the country, right?"

Steve shook his head and said, "You may not believe it, but he has legal residency status and is not an illegal immigrant. He should have been handed over to the police, but Nick seemed to be interested in his technical ability and saved him."

"He wants to work for Nick?"

"Of course I don't want to, but Nick is much more patient than Hammer. Now Yin Fan should have found a house to live on the edge of Manhattan. No one knows what he wants to do."

"He's not seeking revenge from Stark?"

"But before taking revenge, we should at least repair his armor." Rhodes also finished his last sip of coffee and said, "His armor and weapons are very damaged, or rather, after enduring such a Being able to move after being destroyed by an attack is already a unique talent of a Russian product.”

"Anyway, with SHIELD agents watching him, there shouldn't be much trouble." Steve moved a chair over and sat down.

Schiller turned another page of the newspaper and said, "So you just ignore Stark's public opinion issues?"

Rhodes sighed and said: "Actually, this can't be considered a public attack, because they just mentioned what Stark has done..."

"Even if Stark is really a bad person, Pepper will probably try to make him look less bad, right?"

"After the negotiations, Stark went to see Pepper immediately. I guess he must have gone to Pepper to discuss the direction of public opinion, right?"

After Rhodes finished speaking, the three of them laughed tacitly.
