Chapter 574 The Master of Lost City
Salomon ignored the Avengers' pursuit of Hydra. He completely regarded that incident as a joke. He was counting on this joke now. Under the big bourgeois compradors supported by the United States, Hydra, entrenched in Sokovia, became a conscience organization and the light of the nation. The Maximov brothers told Salomon more than once about the brutality of the comprador class, and even the terrorist organizations and feudal systems were more advanced than compradors. As for how poor Sokovia was, the information Sallomon consulted told him that this was a country that even Leonid Ilyic Brezhnev could not help Suxunzong.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, one armed regime after another broke out in the local area. The pro-US regime came to power, and the president became the comprador of the United States, trying to build Sokovia into the back garden of the United States. However, facts proved that Sokovia's industrial strength could not be Ukraine. There was more stones in China than soil, and agriculture only had tobacco, and no wealth could be sold. Sokovia was unsurprisingly reduced to the toilet paper of the United States, and even the only international news page was separated by neighboring Ukraine. If Wanda Maximov had not been with the Chaos Magic, Salomon would have to see her in the recruit training camp of the Sisters of the Immortal City.
But there is no benefit of valuelessness, that is, no one looks down on this country, so that the people's livelihood in Sokovia is barely able to pass through the civil war. The countryside where Maximov and his brothers live is even more valuable. Apart from the civil war initiated by the opposition, the place has never been subjected to war, and at least it has not fallen to the point where the poor in the Philippines are sucked.
Therefore, the Avengers won absolutely not welcome in Sokovia. On some level, they represent Western invaders and violent groups that are in love with the local compradors. However, neither Tony Stark nor Steve Rogers have ever recognized this problem. One is a big capitalist, and the other is a super soldier who has never seen the result of the United States exporting "democracy". Although the latter is already on the road to learning, he still needs time. Steve Rogers already had an idea in his mind after seeing the tragic situation of Latin American countries, but he is still busy chasing his past companions and has no time to think about these. As for Tony Stark, he is completely insulated from this idea. Although he no longer sells weapons and equipment to the US government, lobbies the US military to withdraw its troops, and uses a simpler and more direct way to combat terrorist organizations.
He dealt with the terrorist organization himself.
Since the smuggling channels of Stark Group's high-tech equipment were interrupted, those terrorist organizations that were once trained by the United States did not have high-tech missiles (even if they were there), and there was no air force. Tony Stark was wearing a steel suit and felt as if he had entered a no-man's realm. This situation was completely feasible when S.H.E.L.D., but now there is no S.H.E.L.D., and Stark's attack on extremist religious organizations has been forced to stop. This big capitalist who could not hold back could only devote himself to the pursuit of Hydra.
Salomon took the Immortal City to watch coldly.
Agent Natasha Romanoff will regularly report to him the Avengers operations, Agent Victoria Hand was also looking for traces of Colson's squad, and Stephanie Malik was like a huge spider lying on the Hydra intelligence network, selecting people to eat. Apart from Stephanie, no one knows how much power and power Salomon has in the secular world, and how much assets he controls under his name.
He never hoarded wealth, and he would invest every banknote in industrial development and scientific experiments. He dared to say that no one in the world can pay more attention to the development brought by science and technology to mankind than himself, and no one can master so many advanced technologies. In addition, the regular sweeps and rescue operations of the Sisters brought a steady stream of troops. Small foundries operated day and night, making the Immortal City's arms warehouse full of high-tech equipment. According to Stephanie's estimate, after completely eating Hydra and S.H.I.E.D., the power at hand of Salomon can not only launch an armed coup in Africa with per capita prenatal education, but it should be no problem to conquer half of Latin America or Central America.
Perhaps he can win a Falkland War, with the opponent being Britain.
But Salomon still focused on farming and accumulated strength. The thick construction plan filled Stephanie's data cabinet.
What he wants is construction rather than war.
Just under Wakanda's nose, Stephanie is recruiting scientists and researchers around the world, intending to implement Salomon's Mars Foundry Plan, completely freeing the Immortal City from Wakanda's industrial foundation and building it into a future industrial product output site, a high-tech R&D center and an arsenal. In addition to the automated construction equipment that followed the group of scientists, the bodies of the Tianshen Group that will be excavated from under the thick ice layer of Antarctica.
That would be the highest level of research program.
No matter how Su Rui protested, Salomon firmly forbids anyone outside the list of Mars foundries to conduct this research. The reasons he gave were also quite powerful and irrefutable: there are many unsolved mysteries and biochemical hazards in the corpse of the God Group, which require a large number of spell casters to deal with. As a professional, Salomon is the only one.
The king of Wakanda Techaka was not unaware of Salomon's small moves, but he could only cooperate. Because Wakanda is a bulk tribal regime with a strong religious atmosphere, the country's leaders are also the leaders of the divine power, and the tribe chiefs are the same. Unless the country is about to perish, unity will never happen. Even if Techaka wants to take action against Salomon, the agreement between the Black Panther God Basther and the Secret Mage will stop him.
This is the power that Salomon developed in a few years. Except for a very few people, no one knew that this young man who reads books in the Oxford University Library was a standard warlord, and no one knew that his armed power had surpassed many small countries. Stephanie arranged everything in an orderly manner. She was like a left-handed hand to Salomon and was an inseparable part of it. The cunning Gideon Malik wanted to make suggestions on this, but he was ruthlessly rejected by Stephanie. Stephanie knew how long Salomon's lifespan was, and Salomon also arranged for her a hundred years. In this ambitious daughter of Hydra, she saw the future, and the Malik family was not as important as Salomon's career. In Stephanie's eyes, only people like Salomon can lead humans to fight against aliens.
However, fighting against aliens is just the most inconspicuous part of Salomon's future plan.
Such a busy Salomon naturally refused the invitation from the Avengers who finally found him to be an adult (19 years old), and he still has something to do. After the work of the engineering team, the combat team and the locals, Kit City was finally dug out of the thick ice and the mountains - but the construction process was a bit rough. In order to speed up the construction period, the naturally optimistic artificial man Katherine ordered the blast of the frozen soil buried in the Lost City. She used her own authority to fire several large-scale ground-boring missiles, which also triggered a large avalanche.
But cleaning up snow is much easier than cleaning up frozen soil, which directly shortens the construction period by three-fifths.
At the same time, this also allowed Sophia to see the strength of the Immortal City. The sky aircraft carrier was too far away and not intuitive enough. The ground-boring bombs and shelling arrays were enough to make the stubborn locals think carefully about whether to stick to their beliefs. Of course, Salomon's naturalization policy was not that tough, and Jacob's identity as the Immortal Prophet played a big role in it.
The Lost City welcomed its master for the first time.
