Chapter 16 The so-called self, the so-called country

Not everyone can have the psychological quality of Long Aotian!

When I won my first fight as a student,

When you successfully apply from a large number of candidates,

When you defeat the male god and get the girl's heart,

When I earned the first pot of gold in my life,

When doing business defeats a competitor,

How do you feel?

Will it be natural to smile slightly?

Long Aotian has that psychological quality,

Li Mo didn't!

A middle-aged greasy uncle who gains an ability

VS

Colombian drug lord gangsters

KO!!

The excitement of winning the first battle was not vomiting or unhappy, but it was a pity that Zhang Kai was not there...

Little Lucas? will only follow and shout 666, it doesn't seem to be cool enough!

Turk. Barrett? … Isn't it a bit low to show off in front of your subordinates?!

Jessica. Jones...

Do I need a female companion to go to my birthday dinner? This is the reason Li Mo found for himself.

In fact, every man likes to appear tall in front of women! When you are young, you may be more explicit, but when you mature, you will be quiet, in fact, it will go deep into the bone marrow!

However...

Li Mo, who was sent back to West 32nd Street, had already walked to Jessica with great interest. Downstairs in Jones Apartments.

But I don't know what he suddenly thought, he touched his waist, which was still a little sore, and turned around and walked away...

Psychological quality is not good!

Physical fitness......

As the night passed, many of the watchers quietly retreated, and the Great Master began to spread among the daimyo and became one of the many underground urban legends.

………………

Queens.

Hammer Industries Weapons Laboratory.

Ivan. Vanko was refitting a Hammer Industries' steel armor with a toothpick in his mouth.

The design of these armors made him feel a little ridiculous, and it was a fool's dream to defeat Tony Stark with them...

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the empty hall of the weapons laboratory.

"Bell! Mission accomplished! ”

Justin. Hammer leads his bodyguard, Billy. Russell and the butler came under the bench and confronted Ivan in a gorgeous tone. Vanko said.

A look motioned to the butler, with a modest smile, who opened the cage covered with a white cloth in his hand, and inside was a beautiful white parrot.

God knows why this sloppy guy offered to ask for his own parrot in Moscow! Justin Hammer was a little helpless, his hand could not reach Moscow, so he had to buy a new one.

"It's not my bird!" Ivan. Vanko was a little unhappy, he missed the parrot guy who had been with him for a year in the basement of the Moscow ghetto.

"What's the difference between being the same bird? Look how beautiful its feathers are..."

Explained for a long time and still didn't get Ivan. Vanco responds to Justin. Hammer felt bored. Turning his head to look at the steel armor on the test bench, his eyes immediately turned red.

"What's this TM?!"

He climbed onto the bench regardless of his manners and pulled off the accessories on the head of the steel armor.

"Can you tell me where the driver's location is? I want a steel armor! Not a steel robot! ”

Justin. Hammer trembled with anger. I don't know how much it cost and how many favors I bought to get this sloppy genius out. Give him all the support and unconditional cooperation.

But in exchange for this thing!

He has already made a public announcement that Hammer Industries will hold its own steel armor conference soon. And has already said hello to the military bigwigs, and the orders related to hundreds of billions of dollars are all over!

On top of that, I'll be treated like a clown by Tony again. Stark's Ignorance!

Facing the furious Justin. Hammer, Ivan who still has a delicious expression on his face. Fanko said indifferently: "Why do you have to use steel armor? Remote control can reduce the casualty rate of soldiers! You want to defeat Iron Man with all this? Not everyone is Tony. Stark! ”

"And..."

Ivan. Fanko showed a slightly mocking expression, and said meaningfully.

"Machines are more reliable than people!"

Justin Hammer's anger subsided. Well, well, the reason is barely justified. And reducing the casualty rate of soldiers can also be used as a selling point, after all, the high amount of compensation for bereavement pensions every year has long made the military very troubled! As long as it was a hit at the press conference...

Thinking of this, Justin Hammer's mood improved again, and he asked happily: "So what can these steel robots do now?" Can I fly? Can you fight? ”

Ivan. Vanko had a nonchalant expression on his face: "They can't fly or fight yet." ”

Justin. Hammer was stunned for a moment, and asked with some reluctance, "Then what can they do?" ”

Ivan. Vanko: "They salute!" ”

Justin. Hammer: "......"

…………

Virginia.

On the banks of the Potomac River, on the border with Washington, D.C., in the midst of lush woods, hides a gloomy and sprawling white complex.

Here is the CIA, the headquarters of the CIA.

In a calm, retro office, William Rawlings, a senior executive and consultant, is standing in front of a tall floor-to-ceiling window answering the phone.

This is a middle-aged white man in his 40s, who has lost his top and is still in good shape. A chilling prosthetic eye combined with a hooked nose makes him look particularly gloomy.

"Okay, I see, you keep following up! … Also, don't forget who you are! You're just one of my dogs, Billy. Russell! ”

Hanging up the phone, William Rawlings looked thoughtful. After thinking about it, he dialed another call.

"Victor, things aren't going well on Hammer Industries' side, we've gone to great lengths to get a piece of waste back! …… Okay, I know it's urgent, and it looks like you're still going to have to open a breakthrough from that Colonel Rhodes under you! …… No, but! What is at stake for us! …… Hooray, Hydra! ”

…………

Brooklyn, New York.

Outside the gates of a private nursing home.

Changed out of combat uniform, suit leather shoes Billy. Russell appeared well-dressed and personable.

Hung up the phone, a scornful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, a dog?

Gently stroked the black and shiny back, a gentle and friendly smile appeared on the handsome face, and walked briskly into the nursing home.

Along the way, all the nursing staff he met greeted him happily. His suave way of doing things has long won the favor of everyone here.

Walking outside a ward, a little nurse with obsession in her eyes and a pounding heart said to him, "She's doing well today!" ”

"Excuse me, Kelly!" Billy Russell responded by giving the female nurse a warm smile and pushed open the door to the ward and walked in.

On the bed in the hospital room, an old white woman was lying. She has long since lost any conscious thinking, and only simple physiological reflexes remain, which she medically calls vegetative.

Billy. Russell closed the door and took off his coat and moved a chair to sit in front of the bed. He kissed the patient's forehead, then clasped one of the patient's hands with both hands and said with a warm smile.

"I've been okay lately, everything is going well with the company, and everything else is fine. All in all, very happy! How have you been? ”

He used his hands gently and delicately to smooth the dry and messy white hair on the old woman's forehead. Leaning back and looking at it, he seemed very satisfied.

After taking out a needle filled with green liquid from his bosom and slowly pushing it into the old woman's infusion set, Billy. Russell's eyes became more tender.

"Did you think of this day when you left my newborn me at the gates of the Albani Fire Department?"

"I am very happy! I was very successful! I have my own security company and I am very rich! ”

"Have you ever regretted it?"

"Why didn't you die sooner?"

"No, you can't die yet!"

"I want you to watch me become more successful step by step!"

"I want you to live in hell on earth and regret it!"

"My dear... Mother! ”

……

After another full hour in the ward, Billy. Russell closed the door and walked out. Gently said to Nurse Kelly who had just come over, "I'm very busy with work, please take care of my mother!" Also, you have to pay attention to your body! ”

In Kelly's obsessive eye, Billy. Russell left the sanatorium with brisk steps.

His friend Curtis, a military doctor, once lamented that everything is changing, and everyone is changing with it.

But he didn't answer, because he knew he hadn't changed at all. From the moment he was abandoned by the whole world, he lived only for himself!

None of them!

Only himself!

For his own sake, he can lose any sense of right and wrong, and he can know that his best friend, Frank. Cassel will be indifferent when his entire family is killed for the actions of "Operation Greyhound"...

Billy. Russell turned his head to look at the nursing home, with a warm smile but a cold look in his eyes, no one! No one to rely on!

I live only for myself!

………………

Tevez, North Carolina.

U.S. Air Force Base.

"I'm against it! Sir! ”

Colonel Rhodes stood upright in his office, his eyes fixed on his superior, General Victor.

"We can't forcibly snatch Tony with military action. Stark's Iron Warframe! This is a trampling on the property and human rights of citizens! ”

General Victor smiled contemptuously, "Civil human rights?!" Since Tony. After Stark drove his armor around to show off, almost all countries are now secretly developing it! ”

"He said that in ten years no one could develop the technology of the Steel Warframe, but what is that in Morocco?!"

"He said he'd protect us, but look what he's doing now!"

"America's interests are under threat!"

"Remember who you are, soldier!"

"The interests of the country are above all else!"

Colonel Rod's eyes were cloudy, he gritted his teeth, and said almost pleadingly: "That will cause a huge conflict!" Let me convince Tony one more time! ”

General Victor's face was expressionless, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You only get one chance! Captain! ”
