Chapter 268 General Ross's Mission

"You were posthumously awarded the rank of Major General the day you left, but I still want to call you Colonel..."

"Colonel, maybe you have forgotten me after such a long time, but I believe you will never forget the secret operation to attack the Hydra base. You led the Hydra army away all by yourself for us. Unfortunately... we still failed to live up to your expectations!"

The white-haired man's eyes seemed to be shining with a certain luster, and looked a little sad.

Lin Jue's expression remained unchanged, but he was increasingly shocked. In fact, he recognized the man in front of him, but he did not expect that this guy, in his old age, would actually be Ross...

General Ross entered with a standard military salute, his face solemn. His behavior attracted the attention of the wealthy and politicians around who were secretly observing the situation here.

Except for some politicians who knew the inside story, most businessmen could not hide their shock.

Sure enough, the Grand Duke of Eternal Night has an extraordinary relationship with some top American officials.

They looked at each other, each looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to talk to Lin Jue.

After all, Eternal Night Company has come to America, and the breadth of its business scope will inevitably establish some deep connection with them.

"You're...Rose?"

Lin Jue frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

"Yes! I didn't expect you still remembered me!"

General Ross looked excited, but also a little embarrassed. His former admirer was right in front of him, and his appearance hadn't even changed a bit. It seemed to take him back to his youthful years, that passionate era, that heroic era that belonged to Lin Jue!
Behind them, Stark and Boz looked at each other, both of them were a little shocked. The distinctive shoulder badge of the man in front of them had already revealed his identity: an American major general.

This is a general. My cheap uncle is really a legendary figure...

At this moment, even Stark couldn't help but admire secretly, and at the same time admired his father's vision. As for the problem just raised, he was no longer worried about whether Lin Jue could solve it.

Now, Stark has to "temporarily" rely on his uncle!
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have become a major general."

Lin Jue laughed, walked straight to General Ross and patted his shoulder hard, while Ross endured it with a smile on his face.

"Colonel Lin Jue, you are too kind to me. If it weren't for you, I would have died there long ago. Those Hydra guys didn't punish us arbitrarily because they were afraid of you. I have always remembered your kindness. When I learned that you died together with the enemy in the final battle, my comrades and I cried bitterly. It's a pity... they can't see you again!"

At this point, Ross looked a little sad, but Lin Jue patted him.

"Hey, kid, you're already a general, but you're still so sentimental?"

"No matter what I am like now, I am still your soldier!"

Ross shouted in a deep voice, his face full of determination.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He didn't expect that the Hulk's father-in-law, Ross, was quite grateful.

"It just so happens that my nephew Stark also needs my help with something. Maybe you can solve his problem!"

"Yes!"

Looking at General Ross with a solemn face, Lin Jue quickly smiled and signaled him not to be so serious. It took him a long time to relax the serious guy in front of him.

"I've heard of Stark Industries. Even part of my troops use their weapons. I'm deeply sorry for what happened to your company!"

Ross looked at Stark, not as serious as when he looked at Lin Jue, but still spoke seriously.

"General Ross, we sincerely hope to develop close cooperation with the military. I believe you have experienced our company's products before. We do not ask to restore the previous level of cooperation with the military..."

Stark noticed Lin Jue's gaze and quickly stated the problem, seizing the opportunity in front of him. If he could solve the current cooperation problem between Stark Industries and the United States Department of Defense, his reputation in the company would be greatly improved.

This would shorten his progress towards full control of Stark Industries.

"Well, yes, there is absolutely no problem with Stark Industries' weapons and equipment. Although some guys in the army think that we should cooperate with the more cost-effective Hammer Industries, I don't think so. Their weapons are not as good as Stark Industries. At the same time, since Colonel Lin Jue has recommended it, I will immediately bring up the cooperation between the military region and your company!"

"Thank you!"

Stark's face was full of gratitude, and with Lin Jue's witness, he quickly discussed the subsequent cooperation plan and the list of weapons to be ordered and purchased.

Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Lin Jue greeted with a smile a group of businessmen who had been waiting for a long time and were quite impatient.

"Grand Duke of Yongye, I am the agent of ** Company. This is my business card. Our company's main business is expensive perfume..."

"Hello, I have long heard of the name of the Grand Duke of Yongye. I heard that your company is going to expand its arms business. I wonder if our company can cooperate with your company. I believe you have also heard of our name..."

"In terms of real estate..."

After symbolically accepting a bunch of business cards from unfamiliar faces, Lin Jue had a brief conversation with them and then returned to Stark.

"Uncle Lin, these people really admire your Evernight Company!"

Stark said with some sour envy.

"Haha, they are just some mundane things, they are not worthy of my attention..." Lin Jue whispered softly, as if talking to himself, but his words were clearly heard by General Stark and Ross.

"Colonel, what do you mean by mundane things?"

Ross's heart was a little excited. This time, it was not just a simple recognition of Lin Jue. Apart from his worship and admiration for Lin Jue, he also had a bigger purpose, which was what the current American top leaders desired.

"Oh, this world is about to undergo a huge change. We must always face possible dangers. These illusory things are nothing but a flash in the pan!"

Lin Jue's eyes swept across the businessmen who were talking to each other and he smiled faintly.

"Colonel, is war going to break out again?"

Ross was a little surprised. He believed that Lin Jue would not say these words for no reason. Regardless of Lin Jue's current status or identity, he must have been exposed to something unusual.

At the same time, the sense of crisis that already existed in his heart intensified, and he became more urgent about a secret experiment he was doing.

"Ha, Ross, you are a general of the United States of America after all. You should know more about the current international situation than I do!"

"…What do you mean?"

Ross asked quickly.

Stark and Boz on the side also pricked up their ears silently, obviously very curious about this secret matter.

"Oh, maybe the war didn't come from Earth?"

After leaving behind such a confusing remark, except for Ross who seemed to be lost in thought, both Stark and Potts looked confused.

Lin Jue looked at the scene in front of him. He naturally knew that the world already knew about the existence of aliens, and even an alien crisis had broken out. A flying knight who had absorbed the energy of the space gem was still traveling in the universe.

As a general, Ross must know such things!
"...I think people should enjoy the present moment. It's not good to have your mind full of future crises, Uncle Lin!"

Stark didn't care much. Now he just wanted to quickly revitalize Stark Industries and then enjoy life. He had no ambition to save the world or anything like that.

"LOL, really?"

Lin Jue chuckled meaningfully.

After a brief greeting, Ross invited Lin Jue to the top floor of the hotel alone.

"Rose, did the people above ask you to come and test my background?"

Lin Jue kept smiling as he looked at Ross who looked a little embarrassed.

"Yes, Colonel. Everyone who knows that period of history is very excited about your return. After investigating your deeds in Great Britain, they are puzzled as to why you have been able to stay young all this time!"

"Oh, I know that everyone wants to live forever, but living forever requires a price that they cannot afford!"

Looking out the window, Lin Jie looked at the vast sea of ​​stars in the sky and said lightly.

"Yes, in fact, compared to them, I am more interested in the super soldier serum. You know, during the time when you passed away, the government vigorously promoted Steve's deeds and repeatedly downplayed your existence. Oh, those guys are really despicable. If it weren't for you leading the American soldiers to turn the tide and smash the Nazi's conspiracy time and time again, how could we have the life we ​​have today!"

Ross said somewhat angrily.

"I don't care about those false reputations, but since you came here with a mission, I will naturally give you a satisfactory answer!"

Lin Jue took out the blood of immortality that he had prepared in advance and handed it to General Ross who was shocked.

"This is……"

"That's right!"

"Thanks for your trust!"

Ross gave a standard military salute, but Lin Jue smiled faintly and put his arm down.

"I'm not giving it to you for nothing, Ross. You know, my company has just become stable in America and needs opportunities for development, which requires dealing with you."

"Colonel, you know, if there's anything you need, I'll do it if I can."

"Oh, maybe in the near future, we will have a chance to cooperate!"

"?"

General Ross thought it was just a joke from Lin Jue and did not take it to heart. Soon, he put the container of the blood of immortality in his briefcase. With Lin Jue's consent, he hurriedly left the hotel, surrounded by a group of men in suits and with solemn faces.

The politicians around looked at each other in bewilderment and then left together.

Stark saw all this behavior, guessing something and sneered.
