Chapter 108: The So-Called Justice
Stark's eyes burned as he stared at the thin card in his hand, only a millimeter thick and weighing no more than twenty grams. The hem of Stark's trench coat in the cold sea breeze kept swinging, but the card in his hand didn't tremble at all.
With a slight movement of his fingers, he rubbed the smooth surface of the card, which was different from any material Stark had ever worked with in terms of feel, and it felt a little warm to the touch in the cold season of late winter and early spring.
Painted on it is a lifelike red red, with teeth and claws, vivid, giving people the feeling that they are about to fly out of the card in the next second.
Si Tan looked at the card in his hand very carefully, and asked without raising his head, "Is this the dragon that appeared in Chinatown four months ago?" Cool, who's that big gray-green monster that you fought so hard with? ”
"Probably the product of military research, when I beat him, the army's helicopter gunship attacked me, obviously in a group."
"So you destroyed two helicopters, three armored vehicles, and a small squad of soldiers, and Rhodes said that the military could blacklist you, and if they hadn't found you, they would have sent tanks to the door." Stark couldn't hide a wamped smile on his face.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of them anyway." Greer pouted, he really doesn't have a cold interest in the military, looking at the nineteen Marvel movies, the military's presence is infinitely close to zero, and even the old driver who drives the school bus shows up more times than the military, so what is there to be afraid of such a military.
"I believe that as long as you don't leave the city, many weapons of mass destruction will not be used, and guns and rockets will definitely not help you." Stark nodded, handing the card to Grell.
But Grell didn't reach out to take it, and the thought in his heart moved, and the card in Stark's hand suddenly disappeared, which made Stark's eyes light up: "Wow, your hand must be very popular in school, and little girls like little boys with superpowers the most." ”
"No, on the contrary, I'm a real weirdo, I don't party, I don't attract fans, I don't play basketball, football, etc., and I probably don't remember my name by now."
"BOY, this is very bad, you must let the public know you and understand you, otherwise, as long as some people want to, they can control public opinion and turn you into a villain, a devil, a murderer and something that will make the public panic, and then they will be able to do something in a public under the guise of eliminating harm for the people, and they will be able to do something only to achieve their goals, and all the mistakes will be passed on to the age."
"Huh?!" Grell was stunned, not understanding the meaning of Stark's words for a moment.
Stark patted Grell on the shoulder, then turned to the wall behind him and shouted, "Jarvis, bring up the news for the week after October 25, 2010." ”
"Yes, sir!"
With Jarvis's voice, the glass curtain wall instantly turned into a large screen, showing the news of the scuffle that happened at the door of Stark Enterprise last time, but it was dominated by Iron Man, and Iron Overlord became a runaway robot, and it was almost impossible to find news about FAIZ, the absolute main force that defeated Iron Overlord.
"See? Obadi's robots are yours to beat, but Stark Enterprise's long-term ties to hundreds of media outlets, and the involvement of a government agency that claims to be homeland, you are simply erased. If we wanted to, we could have turned you into the culprit of that accident, and Stark Enterprise dispatched a large mech and Iron Man to save the citizens, paying a huge price and finally driving away the saboteurs, what can you do? ”
Stark stared at Greer and said this, which made Greer stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, he really didn't think about it that way, many people did see the situation at that time, but Stark Enterprise was able to use money to smash ten times or a hundred times the number of witnesses, confirming that it was Kamen Rider who was sabotaging at that time, and the Iron Overlord was there to stop it.
Just like the entertainment industry, all kinds of rumors, how many of them are true, most of them are released by people with intentions to discredit their opponents so as to benefit themselves, even if they work hard to clarify the rumors, even if they are on the CCTV legal system, there are always people who don't believe it, and they are also known as 'no wind and no waves', 'flies don't bite seamless eggs', that is, they believe that these rumors are true, and what can they do.
What's more, Grell doesn't even know a reporter, and people really want to smear him, but they can't find a channel to clarify, is it possible that wearing this armor, he visited newspapers and TV stations one by one, forced him to ask who the rumor-monger was, and then killed him? But what if this rumor-monger is just collecting money to do things?
Stark saw Greer like this, put his arm around his shoulders, walked towards the house, and said as he walked: "Child, this world is not a world where great power can handle everything, if hundreds of media and one or two thousand celebrities say that you are a villain who is unforgivable, then even if you are good, then you will be a villain. ”
"Hmm!" Grell nodded in agreement, the three of them became tigers, and everyone was golden, even if the truth was passed on, it would be distorted, not to mention that it was false at the beginning.
"Did you watch the movie Superman, which was released at Christmas? Clark helps Earth defeat the evil General Zod, but the destruction and casualties caused during the battle are counted on his head, and with the push of the conspirators, he goes from a hero to a villain who needs to go to court. Child, the world is cruel, and there will always be all kinds of people who will attack your idea and try to usurp what belongs to you. ”
"Did anyone else have the idea of beating you up for the Iron Suit?" Grell couldn't help but think of "Iron Man 2", didn't the Hydra Councilor try his best to nationalize Stark's steel suit? It is also called why it is better to protect US imperialism.
Listening to Greer's words, Stark turned his head to look at him and nodded: "Otherwise, why do you think I went to the desert many times to eliminate terrorists and prevent the outbreak of war there, and let the public relations department of Stark Enterprises make every effort to promote the heroic image of Iron Man's justice, that is, to let everyone know that Iron Man is to help people." ”
Stark pushed open the door and entered the warm room, and said proudly, "Maybe your Kamen Rider is a little stronger than my steel suit now, but dealing with those unruly politicians is my strong point." ”
