Faced with the fact that several countries that provoked wars switched from offensive to defensive, Western countries, especially the United States, fell into a tangle.

Although the U.S. military had been anxious to mobilize a large number of troops to prepare for the war, it was mainly worried about the other side's continuous advance, after all, Europe was the most important strategic radiation area of the United States, and he could not sit idly by and watch Europe fall.

But after Ukraine switched from offensive to defensive after Ukraine captured Poland, the US military began to hesitate, and even the belligerent cowboy president did not dare to give the order to attack casually.

The fiasco of the NATO Air Force and the devastating blows on a number of military bases have cast a shadow on all the military operations of the US military.

However, this situation has caused one person to suffer, and that is Tony Stark......

In the previous firefight, the steel soldiers were not without losses, after all, this thing is not a steel suit, but a mass-produced product, although the energy is the same, but the material structure, the steel suit is completely out of the grade, especially now Stark is in full swing after discovering the new elements left by his father.

Therefore, European and American countries have also obtained a lot of steel soldier remains.

So trouble found Tony Stark's head, because the energy source of the Iron Soldier was obviously the Ark Reactor, and Tostark was recognized as the inventor of the Ark Reactor.

"Mr. Stark, I think you know what I'm here for," said General Ross, sitting across from Stark, in Stark's office building.

"Yes, I know" How could Tony Stark not know that there was an advanced robot corps on the European battlefield that used the Ark reactor as an energy source, and the NATO forces could not find the north, and the whole world knew about it.

"In fact, the Senate Armed Services Committee was going to send you a hearing directly, but because of our long-standing relationship with Osben, we cut it off," General Ross said.

"Uh, should I thank you?" Stark didn't have a good breath when he heard this.

"Of course not, but Tony, you should know the consequences of your non-cooperation with us, you have spoken publicly in the media, at least for five to ten years, there will be no similar technology in the world, but how long? In Europe, hundreds of thousands of robotic soldiers with similar technology have appeared, not one or two, but hundreds of thousands!!

And in the war provoked by the other side, they have caused us huge losses, and now the whole of Europe is in a panic, and we don't even know if they will hit our own soil next," General Ross snapped.

"But that's not my fault! I didn't sell them anything, it was done by the Russian scientists Anton Vanke and Ivanko, and Anton Vanke and his son were also once the research institute of the Ark reactor, you should go to them" Tony Stark also said irritablely, at first he was also confused about the emergence of the Ark reactor as an energy source in Europe, and only later did he find out the information about the Vanke father and son.

"Yes, but so what? The whole world only knows that you Iron Man invented this thing, but does not know any Vanke father and son, and the entire NATO allies will put everything on your head, or is it that you absolutely you, Iron Man, can deal with hundreds of thousands of such Iron soldiers alone? General Ross said angrily.

Tony Stark slumped limply in his chair, knowing that he really couldn't escape this time.

In the past, he had the confidence to stand up to the government and not hand over the steel suit and reactor technology because of his technological monopoly, and because he had the support of the people as a superhero and had a legal basis.

But with the outbreak of war, the other side put into use a large number of Ark reactors as energy for steel soldiers, and the NATO troops did not dare to take the lead, Stark knew that he was in big trouble.

Whether it is the United States or European countries, they are in urgent need of weapons and equipment that can fight each other's steel soldiers, if Osborne was still conducting weapons research before, perhaps the military's attention would be prioritized on Osborne, but now Osborne has closed all weapons departments, which makes the military lose the ability to confront each other.

As for Hammer Industries, which received all of Osborne's weapons technology and factories?

Come on, Hammer Industries is going to build the weapons that Osborne originally had, and you're going to let him develop more powerful weapons? Don't be funny.

Of course, this is not to say that Osben's previous weapons cannot be used, in fact, there are still many weapons that can fight the other side, and can even be used as the hole card of the US military.

For example, those flexible new fighters, powerful electromagnetic cannon technology, and a super number of nano suits can be used as the U.S. military's hole cards, but the key is that the price of these things is too high to be installed on a large scale, especially after the manufacturing technology of these products was sold to Hammer, the cost has increased a lot.

Of course, this is not Hammer's heart, the problem is still with Osborne.

Although Osborne sold many weapons technology to Hammer, some key things were not *** such as material technology, chip technology, and energy technology.

Although these technologies are indispensable in the manufacture of weapons, they obviously do not belong to the category of the military industry, because these technologies can be applied to any industry, and their value far exceeds that of those that are sold, and Osben cannot sell them, nor can Hammer afford them.

So when it comes to using these products, Hammer has no choice but to buy them and then use them in their own weapons.

This also means that Hammer is still somewhat at the mercy of Osborne.

To put it bluntly, Osben does not make guns anymore, but I produce important basic materials such as metals and springs for making guns, what guns do you make without these things? Wooden guns?

And this has invisibly increased the economic burden on the military.

But the Iron Soldier is different, because according to the research of American scientists on the wreckage of the Iron Soldier, except for an Ark reactor, the cost of those Iron Soldiers is not much higher than that of power armor, and it can be installed on a large scale.

In this case, everyone naturally set their eyes on our Iron Man.

"You have three days to think about it and choose whether or not to hand over the reactor technology, otherwise you know the outcome," General Ross said in a deep voice, and then prepared to leave.

"I handed it over, but instead of handing over the technology directly, it was a normal commercial sale of the finished reactor, or authorized production" Without waiting for General Ross to walk out of the office, Stark stopped General Ross, and the current situation has forced him to make changes, in this case, it is better for Stark to manufacture and sell the Ark reactor himself, anyway, now he has created a new element, a new generation of Ark reactor, which is not comparable to the old version at all, besides, the reactor is energy, not a weapon, isn't it? Now Stark can only comfort himself so much, otherwise he will really have to face the condemnation of the whole world.

"Very sensible choice," General Ross said with a smile on his back, the military didn't really mind how to get the reactor, whether it was made by Stark Corporation or Hammer Corporation, as long as he got the product.

"Sir, I think you need to take a look at this" Just as General Rose was about to turn back to talk to Stark in detail, Jarvis's voice rang out in the office.

"What happened?" Hearing Jarvis's words, Stark was a little puzzled.

Jarvis automatically turned on the holographic screen in front of Stark, and Chris and a chubby man in a white coat appeared on the screen, along with a strange device behind them.

Seeing this picture, Stark felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Half an hour ago, Mr. Chris Osborne, Chairman of Oss, and Dr. Otto Octavis, a scientist of the company, jointly announced that Ossben has successfully developed a safe and polluting controllable nuclear fusion reaction device, which represents the birth of a new clean energy after Stark, and compared with Stark's broom, Chairman Chris announced that he will fully sell nuclear fusion reactors, which also represents that the human energy industry will enter a new era. This is also the most exciting news since the recent turmoil in the international situation! ”

"Buschet!" Accompanied by the newscaster's commentary, Tony Stark and General Ross burst into foul language in unison.
