"Several recent serial killings are suspected to be related to Deadpool, the mob knows some of the inside stories, and the commissioner in Greece believes that Deadpool must be captured before the police can intervene." The secretary gasped, "It's urgent, direct calls for money, it is said that both sides are pulling the trigger and waiting for news, if the money does not come ...... to the other side may consider it fraudulent and will have to start a fight!"

  Manstein here still wants to say something, over there rushed over nervous-looking financial experts.

  "OPEC announced five minutes ago to raise the price of crude oil!"

  "What does the price of crude oil have to do with me?" Manstein glared, "I didn't buy crude oil futures."

  "But the Academy bought ...... a big buy, using over $1.2 billion in reserves, and if we don't dump it in time, we'll have a huge loss."

  "Huge loss is how much loss?" Manstein covered his face.

  "A conservative estimate could reach two hundred million ......," the financial expert wiped the cold sweat from his face.

  Manstein felt that he was close to a mouthful of Lingxiao blood soaring to the ceiling, dragonfly in the female secretary's bill signed his name, turned his head to the financial experts ordered, "throw! Dump it all!"

  He did not care about the Greek $ 70,000, this night he is a word several hundred million up and down people, for the small matter of $ 70,000 need to get angry? Bad to be home for the night, on his sole support. The professor on duty is usually a group of three, tonight it was his turn, Guderian and Executive Secretary Schneider. The offline such as Guderian obviously can not rely on, so Guderian said he was used to going to bed early and did not want to work overtime, Manstein agreed to help him top for the sake of old friends. But Schneider, who has always had a reputation as a "steel executive", also dropped the ball and said he had an important academic paper that needed revision and asked Manstein to help him top it. Manstein knew that although Schneider was a pig killer - Manstein thought that all the people in the executive department were pig killers, a group of rough people who only knew how to handle guns and knives - he always wanted to get a few more papers so as not to fall behind other professors in academics, so he also I promised to help the top.

  But tonight the world is not peaceful, there is no good news to refresh people over.

  "The Equipment Department is testing a new alchemical weapon in the Sahara Desert with great success!" A trainee from the Equipment Department jerked up from his chair and raised his arms in cheer.

  The ecstatic look on his face ignited everyone's emotions. Everyone knew that the Department was preparing a secret weapon experiment in the hinterland of the Sahara Desert, a super weapon that could reverse the balance of power between humans and dragons, and it had succeeded! Everyone raised their arms and cheered, the scene was as warm as the moment NASA announced the success of the moon landing.

  Manstein's spirits lifted and he wanted to run over and take a look at the intern's terminal. At that moment the ear-splitting alarm swept through the control room. It was a high-level warning, and Manstein turned his head to see a flashing red light expanding in the heart of the Sahara desert on the Earth projection, with a tendency to sweep the entire planet!

  "What's going on? Wasn't it a huge success?" Manstein growled at the interns.

"There was a small problem ...... when the Pentagon's spy satellite 'Tungus Tower' was flying over the Sahara desert and observed our weapons test, which it misjudged as a... ...a nuclear explosion. According to sources on the inside, the CIA has reported to the President on this matter, and since the test site is located in Libya, it is expected that soon the Ambassador to Libya will send a stern diplomatic note ...... accusing Libya of secret nuclear testing ......
