Strictly speaking, there is no real leader in a team of heroes like the Fantastic Four.

After all, everyone's status is the same, and no one is said to have a higher status than others.

But as long as it is a team, it is inevitable that there will be issues of voice and leadership.

Mister Fantastic Reed may not have the idea of ​​being a leader, but in the Fantastic Four, his leadership is higher than Jonathan.

It's normal for this to happen.

Because Jonathan is indeed a bit too unreliable.

Before awakening his super powers, Jonathan was not a quiet guy.

Not to mention Mr. Fantastic Reed and the stone man Ben, even his own sister, the invisible Susan, is a headache for him.

In a team of four, three of them felt that he was unreliable.

Then his status in the team can be imagined.

Although Jonathan's personality is a bit unruly, he is not stupid.

Like those reporters, he also immediately understood the meaning of Russell's words.

this…

Jonathan did not expect that Russell would not give him any face.

If it weren't for the cameraman in front of him still frantically taking pictures of them, Jonathan would have been unable to hold a smile on his face.

Although these reporters didn't know what the relationship between Russell and Jonathan was, Russell's answer made them keenly aware of the discord between the two of them.

After answering the reporter's question, Russell ignored Jonathan, who was a bit embarrassed, and shot his tentacles towards the building next to him.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Jonathan and the reporters, he left the scene swinging his tentacles.

Looking at Russell's disappearing back, Jonathan felt like a clown now.

After Russell left, he had no intention of continuing to deal with these reporters. Flames burst out of his body, transformed into a man of fire and soared into the sky, and quickly disappeared.

These little episodes between Russell and Jonathan made the news headlines the next day without any suspense.

After all, this is the first meeting between their two superheroes old and new.

Russell didn't take this episode to heart at all.

Another two days passed.

The first Zaku mass-produced armor was finally born.

No. 3 and Peter did not disappoint Russell, successfully controlling the cost within 20 million US dollars.

After personally testing the shrunken version of the Zaku armor, Russell made a call to the Republican senator.

The product has come out, it's time to meet and chat with these military leaders.

In a manor in the suburbs of New York.

Under the introduction of the senator, Russell successfully met the three US military leaders who were at least major generals.

Among the three military leaders, Russell was pleasantly surprised to find that he knew one of them.

General Ross!

Looking at General Ross in the uniform of the U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General, several names quickly flashed through Russell's mind.

Bruce Banner, Betty Ross, Emil Bronski…

I don't know if the Bruce Banner in this world has mutated. I have to find a chance to investigate after I go back.

Although many names and thoughts flashed through his mind, Russell's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't know who General Ross was, and shook hands with them.

After a while of polite greetings, Russell didn't waste everyone's time, and handed the Zaku battle armor materials that had been prepared to General Ross and the other three.

General Ross is interested in super soldiers though.

But what he is interested in is super soldiers like Captain America, not high-tech individual combat armor like Zaku armor.

But even so, he still carefully browsed the Zaku battle armor information that Russell handed over.

Although General Ross didn't have much interest, the other two generals had a lot of interest in the Zaku armor.

"The price of your battle armor is a bit too high, isn't it?"

One of the major generals named Jack said to Russell.

"General Jack, whether it is expensive or cheap depends on what weapon you compare it with."

"The Jericho missile is also expensive, but the military still likes it, doesn't it?"

The price of 120 million yuan does seem a bit expensive, but Russell is not worried about this problem at all.

In the absence of similar competing products, unless the military can develop its own armor.

Otherwise, even if the price of the Zaku battle armor is a bit inflated, the military can only choose to purchase it from him.

"The power of the Jericho missile has been proven in actual combat, but your armor currently only has data on paper."

General Jack continued.

"General, what you said is a bit wrong. There is no actual combat proof, it's just because the production of the battle armor has just started."

"General, if you are interested, I can provide the armor for actual combat testing at any time."

Russell replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Although he was full of confidence in the Zaku armor, General Jack still didn't believe it before seeing the results of the actual combat test.

He has seen too much data on paper and in theory.

When some military industrial enterprises tried to obtain orders from the military, they even claimed that they could produce Star Destroyer Cannons.

Although no decision was made immediately, General Jack and others still gave Russell a chance to prove the armor.

They want to conduct actual combat tests on the Zaku armor at the military's test site.

For their arrangement, Russell did not refuse.

Military orders are not so easy to get!

If they don't let them see the actual effect, no matter how powerful he says the Zaku armor is, it is impossible to get an order from the military. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

After agreeing on the time for the actual combat test, Russell left the study and planned to return to the laboratory.

However, just as he came to the hall, General Ross, who hadn't spoken much just now, suddenly came in front of him.

"General, do you need something from me?"

"Let's talk in the tasting room."

Although this is the senator's estate, as General Ross, there is no problem at all in borrowing the senator's tasting room.

In the tasting room.

Russell and General Ross sat opposite each other.

"General, why don't you speak up if you have something to say?"

"Your Zaku battle armor, I don't have much interest, but I am very interested in you."

General Ross looked at Russell with a serious expression, and said slowly.

"Uh...General, I don't like men!" Russell said with a frown.

After hearing his topic, General Ross almost spit out the red wine from his mouth.

"you…"

After putting down the wine glass in his hand, General Ross looked at Russell seriously, and said again: "I don't like men either!"

General Ross retorted righteously.

"There are only you and me here, and I won't go around in circles with you anymore."

"Your identity in the underground world, I know very well."

"I have a plan here that requires special people like you to join."

Although General Ross didn't say it clearly, Russell could roughly guess what his so-called special plan was.

Don't you just want a team of super soldiers like Captain America? It's not hard to guess at all!

"General, you may have misunderstood a bit."

"Just because I sell weapons to the military doesn't mean I want to be a weapon for the military. These are two completely different things."
