The international situation has its inertia.Although Xiao’s influence as one of the promoters no longer exists, the threat of war has not disappeared, and it is still brewing. This is the result of years of confrontation and propaganda during the Cold War. Or to maintain the trust among allies in the same camp, neither side dared to show weakness easily.If the U.S. and Soviet Russia are regarded as two angry giants, they have mobilized all their strengths, staring at each other, and their blood is full, just waiting for the right time to erupt the largest war frenzy.

"The Soviets have shipped their warheads to Cuba, and their ships will land in a week. When their ships arrive, we can deploy the fleet on this line." In the war room of the Pentagon, a general is explaining to the president and senior military officials plan.

According to the vision of the Ministry of National Defense, 68 air force squadrons and 8 aircraft carriers will escort a huge fleet of 90 warships to set off in the near future.From Florida to Puerto Rico to form an arc blockade of Cuban waters.At the same time, all missile units are on high alert, waiting for orders to launch at any time.Not only in Florida and neighboring states in the south, the United States will assemble the largest landing force after the war to prepare for the war, and bases around the world are also on alert, preparing for a global nuclear war.

"If they cross the line," the president said decisively, pointing to the map. "That would be a declaration of war on the United States, at which point we would have no choice but to mount a retaliatory nuclear response. Pass?"

He asked the military and political officials present. At this time, they are the representatives of all Americans.

Not surprisingly, the plan was passed unanimously.

In a circle of arms.On the national emblem, the bald eagle, which symbolizes the spirit of independence and freedom, grasped the sharp arrow determined to defend itself with its left claw, and the sharp arrow shone with a threatening cold light.

In this anxious moment, people are waiting with bated breath for the dialogue between the two superpowers.New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington... The rich in the big cities on the east coast have begun to quietly leave the bustling urban areas and live in remote areas, causing land prices in the outer suburbs to skyrocket.And brave young people use enlistment to express their love for their country.Just like the scene that had appeared during the previous war, there was a long queue in front of the conscription station again.

At this moment, the fate of the world seems to be coming to an end quickly, and citizens of every country understand that nuclear winter is not far away from mankind.Except for the wild and exotic land that is completely isolated from the outside world, almost everyone in the civilized world is paying attention to the archipelago in the northern Caribbean Sea. Only a few people can foresee the trend in advance and can calmly display their own strategies in the chaos.

among them.Eric and Howard were the most prepared.When the outside world was still at a loss about the future of human beings, they had already come to the rooftop of Howard's luxury building, surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, wearing bathrobes and lying on beach chairs under parasols drinking juice.

Different from the Howard that Eric saw when he first arrived in this era, the appearance of this gentleman has undergone subtle changes at this time. Time seems to have paused slightly for him, and then a miraculous reversal occurred. Only a few weeks passed, He had returned to the way he had been in [-].Perhaps a little more mature than then, but the word old can no longer be used to describe it.

The change in appearance caused a change in his mentality.The stereotype of rigidity and indifference disappeared, and the old-fashioned playboy picked up his hobby of flirting again.

But today is obviously not a suitable time. Although the sun is rarely so bright, it is a pity that the girls are not in the state.

"Seeing the sad looks of the girls, my heart is broken. If I tell them that war will not break out and human beings can still live in the world well, do you think they will be moved to me?" Howard Said whimsically.He was venting his grievances. In front of the fragile life, money suddenly lost its magic power. Forced by life, although the girls came, they were not as fawning and flattering as imagined. They all hid listlessly and listened to the radio broadcast. The latest news to come.

The mood is understandable, and no one can blame them for this, so Howard can only complain a few words.

"Good idea, you can try it, maybe they won't regard you as a scared coward." Eric casually sarcastically squinted his eyes to enjoy the warm and dry autumn wind.

Howard rolled his eyes and signaled his housekeeper, Jarvis, to lead the woman far away, so as not to hear the secret conversation between the two.

"Those things have been arranged. In addition, half of the seventeen properties under my name have been disposed of. In the next week, my assets will continue to shrink. This is all to raise enough funds as soon as possible to sell them at a low price. Are you sure? I'm not going to be a pauper, am I?"

Worries are unavoidable. In order to gain the maximum benefit in this turmoil, Howard made full use of the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Shield Bureau was almost turned into his own private secret service by him.

"Of course." Eric replied lazily. "Peggy's property is also handed over to you as an agent, so there is nothing to worry about. It seems that the hasty sale has suffered losses, but as long as the situation worsens, real estate prices will plummet, and wealthy neighbors will scramble to evacuate to the suburbs, The onlookers may resist the pressure and look for a speculative opportunity, but as soon as that big baby lands, their will will be completely broken, and then you can repossess your property like buying a discounted item at a discount store."

"Those strange children are really reliable?" Howard refers to Charles and Magneto.

"No worse than a belligerent general," Eric reassured him.

"Then you also need to be gentle with your big toy, so as not to scare away all the poor managers." Howard nodded, and then began to plan enthusiastically. "Some buildings can be demolished properly, including the buildings I have bought insurance, and there is no need to keep them. There is also a black gathering place in Harlem. I have also had some unsuccessful investments there. The blacks always hinder the company's further development. Development, Opadry has complained to me about this many times, this time I can get them together, if not satisfied, they can protest against monster tail, and Wall Street, maybe I can take the opportunity to buy back stock to strengthen the company's The right to speak. The most important point--" At this point, he suddenly stopped, and leaned over to stare at the faces of his allies.

"What?" Eric reluctantly let go of the straw.

"By the way, do me a favor and get rid of Roxon Oil and Trask Industries, both of whose headquarters buildings are not far from here, as they are often described in the promotional pages: only a softball throw from the coastline. Honestly, I Would love to sit in my own home and watch these nasty guys go down." Howard was full of malice towards his old and new competitors, and Eric, who had the same interests, naturally had no problem with his ideas.

Needless to say, Roxon, Stark's old enemy.And Trask Industries is Bolivar Trask's company. In the future, disabled scientists will be recruited by Eric after continuous attacks. However, the usefulness of this dwarf has been basically squeezed out, and there will be more in the future. It doesn't matter if it exists.

If he had just been exiled to a strange time and space, Eric would not dare to make too many changes, but after traveling in the long river of time and space, he has accumulated enough knowledge, and the new world is beckoning to him.

Get rid of Strange who exiled himself, then the current Eric should not exist, and he should stay in the original era instead of staying in the past and changing history.

It's a space-time paradox, the logic is wrong, but it's how it happens - Erik is still in this day and age playing conspiracies with Howard, not correcting papers on the top floor of his Manhattan office, which is the best proof .

Now that Eric has seen his influence on the long river of time, he is no longer satisfied with being an insignificant stone that can only splash a string of water when it falls into the river, but wants to become a giant rock and use the main god The power profoundly changes the direction of the river.

No matter how repulsive the new world is, Eric will draw his mark deeply into it.

He squinted his eyes to look at the sky, and the bright lavender galaxy seemed to appear in front of him again, and then he was no longer a passerby.

Biting the straw, Eric tasted the juice slowly, chatting casually with Howard next to him.

Now everything is arranged, just need to wait for this time to pass.

"It would be great if this kind of thing happened several times a year." During the boring waiting, Howard looked forward to it infinitely. Eric didn't make a sound, and the time passed like this, until the long-awaited news on the radio arrived as promised.

"This is Hamilton, Bermuda. Recently, there have been some strange sightings here." The voice with some dialect accents sounded on the radio. "Not long ago, the local miners discovered radioactive ore pockets. They were very excited, thinking they had found a valuable uranium deposit, so they mobilized large-scale machinery here, but the bottom of the valley suddenly collapsed last night, and all the machinery fell into extremely deep underground caves. When we came in the morning, the workers found some huge footprints beside the cave, we don’t know what it was, whether it was a prank by a competitor, or accidentally opened up some prehistoric monster’s lair...”

On the radio, the announcer babbled about news that had nothing to do with the most important Cuban crisis at the moment. It is conceivable that the audience would only regard this as a curious incident to adjust their emotions, but it will not take long before they will Instead of conflict of nations, another nightmare loomed.

Eric and Howard looked at each other and smiled, and raised the cups in each other's hands.
