The next day, nine a.m. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Tony. Stark appeared punctually at a government hearing attended by the Military Council. He sat in the defendant's seat, and although it was the first time, he did not panic at all. Instead, he kept looking left and right, greeting Zhou Yi who was sitting behind him on the one hand, and Pepe on the other side. Potts winked his eyebrows.

Pepe gave Tony a strange look and motioned for him to maintain a minimum of rules in the courtroom. But Tony didn't care about that at all, he went his own way, until the councillor who was presiding over the hearing above couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mr. Stark, can we move on to what we just talked about? Mr. Stark, please! The councillor sitting on it tapped the gavel in his hand several times, and even used unusually earnest words of request.

"Of course, my dear. Do you have any instructions? Tony turned his head and made a serious look. And his tone immediately caused a chuckle in the solemn courtroom.

The councillor sitting in the judge's seat pretended not to hear the laughter and continued to speak solemnly.

"Mr. Stark, can you answer my question honestly?"

"Of course, my dear. By the way, what kind of question are you asking? Tony naturally won't be honest because of a word, but he does accept it verbally.

The MP doesn't care what his attitude is, to be able to sit in this position against Tony. Stark's, how could he not have done some prior research on him. So he ignored this frivolous and unorthodox attitude. He said to him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Stark, do you have a special high-tech weapon?"

"Nope!" Tony answered the question categorically, but Mr. Councillor immediately shouted out.

"You said no?"

"Yes and no!" Tony's expression was as earnest as he was in prayer. "I'm pretty sure. Of course, it depends on what you define as a weapon. ”

"Iron Man is a weapon, Mr. Stark!" Squinting in reply, Mr. Councillor laughed. He didn't think that such an established fact could be turned over by Tony's clever mouth.

Hearing this, Tony immediately made his expression a little more serious. He pulled the microphone in front of him and said solemnly.

"My invention isn't a weapon!"

"Not a weapon?" Mr. Senator sat up straight. "So how do you define it? Mr. Stark? ”

"He is what he is, Your Excellency Senator. If I had to say, it would be a high-tech prosthetic!" Tony's words immediately drew an even bigger laugh, but he still said to Mr. Senator with a serious expression. "That's the best adjective I can think of, a tech prosthetic, yes. That's it! ”

"It's ridiculous, Mr. Stark. It's a weapon, he's a weapon! ”

In the face of Tony's rhetoric, the senator could no longer remain indifferent. He raised his voice, drowning out Tony's voice. And gave his own definition.

"If you are a priority for the well-being of the people....."

Tony, of course, could not tolerate his invention being so characterized, and he had just thought of making up a vocabulary to refute the senator. But the senator had already interrupted him.

"No, I'm a priority for handing over the Iron Man weapon to the American people."

It's obvious to fight with the senator's profession, which relies entirely on lip service. A guy like Tony, who can only fight for a while, can't take advantage of it.

However, not being able to take advantage does not mean that he will give in, so immediately, he immediately stated his opinion in righteous words.

"Don't even think about it. I'm Iron Man. I and my steel armor are one. To make me surrender it is to make me surrender myself. So don't even think about it. If you force me to do this, I can understand that you want to force me to do labor or to sell (prostitution) or something, which must be illegal, depending on the state. However, I feel that I can use legal means to protect my interests here. So, to sum up, Your Excellency Senator, I can't give it to you. ”

was so messed around by Tony, and the scene suddenly seemed to be as lively as some hilarious talk show. And in this atmosphere, even senators who are good at talking about it have little room to continue. He could only pull in foreign aid to continue his plan.

"Listen, I'm not an expert in this. I don't know if what you're saying is true or not. Whether Iron Man is a weapon or not, I need a weapons expert to give us some advice. Now I'm going to subpoena Justin. Hammer, the current main arms dealer in the Department of Defense. ”

Hearing the name, Tony immediately understood who was targeting him. The Ministry of Defense is certainly one thing, but it is definitely this shameless Hammer who instigates the Ministry of Defense. And only he will have this spirit to target himself.

You must know that in the past, when Stark was still the leader of arms companies, Hammer Industries has always been eyeing Stark Industries. However, at that time, Stark had a better relationship with the Ministry of Defense than Hammer Industries, which also led to Hammer Industries having little way to target Stark. But now it's different.

Stark Industries withdrew from the arms sector, and as a result, the market share he left behind was destined to be divided among the remaining giants. But it happened to be during this time that Osborne also got into trouble of his own. So Hammer Industries seized the opportunity and caught up. Directly became the largest supplier to the Ministry of Defense now.

However, even after becoming the largest arms seller, Hammer Industries eventually fell short of Stark Industries. The main gap is in sophisticated weapons. Hammer Industries, a company that made its fortune on small and light individual weapons, was inherently inadequate. In addition, the head of Stark Enterprises is a genius who can develop black technology, which naturally makes the gap between them bigger and bigger.

This gap has made Hammer Industries not very favorable. And Hammer Industries itself has this sense of crisis. He knew that if he wanted to stand in the position of boss, he had to have a truly high-tech, cross-generational weapon. So Tony's Iron Man suit was naturally targeted by him.

It's a recognized cross-generational weapon, and Stark has just moved from the military-industrial complex to the energy industry. This deprived it of its biggest political capital, and if it didn't take advantage of this opportunity to coerce Stark Industries, it wouldn't have that opportunity again.

He talked about this idea with the people of the Ministry of Defense, and the two sides can be said to hit it off. The Department of Defense, which was already overwhelmed by the Battle of the Giants of New York, immediately regarded Hammer's proposal as a change in the image of the military and a reversal of the current decline. At the same time, it is also the best way to fill the large vacuum that has created after the Super Soldier program has been frozen.

Having Iron Man means that they have countless superheroes. Both public opinion and the future trend of the war began to tilt to their side. In the same way, Hammer Industries, as a collaborator, will also successfully take a big step forward and lay the foundation for its own leading military industry. So, why shouldn't they?

In the face of interests, no one can not be offended. This naturally includes Tony. Stark.

Having guessed the cause and effect, Tony became cautious, and he found that it did not seem like a sudden action. It's more like a long-planned conspiracy. Therefore, Tony, who could not let the situation be controlled like this, began to attack first.

"I beg your pardon, gentlemen. I only saw Justin. Mr. Hammer came in without seeing any so-called weapons experts. You mean him, you're kidding. Everyone knows that Hammer is a businessman, not an expert. He doesn't even have to defuse the bomb! ”

's very sharp counterattack even made the surrounding audience talk about it. But the well-dressed and smiling Justin. Hammer wasn't annoyed. He just smiled and said into the microphone in front of him.

"That's right, I'm not an expert. You are, Tony. You've been a genius in this regard! ”

As soon as his words came out, not only Tony, but even Zhou Yi couldn't help but wipe his face. They and Justin. It's not the first time Hammer has been contacted. They knew exactly what kind of guy it was.

This guy is a hundred times better than others in terms of lip service. According to Tony, if half of his rhetorical efforts were given to the weapons developers of Hammer Industries. It is estimated that even he is no opponent. This is an extreme guy who only talks about it. Almost all of what he says is empty and false. But that's it, he was just welcomed by the Ministry of Defense. In this regard, arms dealers have long had a saying, that is, they smell the same.

They look down on this guy's ability, but now. In this hearing that only relies on words, they also have to admit that this guy is the most difficult to deal with.

Like now, Justin. Hammer candidly acknowledges Tony's identification of him. But this view was immediately refuted.

"Compared to a genius like you, Tony. I really admit I'm not much of a weapons expert, indeed. The identity of a businessman is more suitable for me. ”

If you take Tony. Stark is the dividing line, and I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can call it a weapons expert. So when he said that, the audience around him naturally acknowledged the point. Tony's genius became the opponent's weapon at this time.

As it wasn't enough to fend off Tony's onslaught, Hammer began to launch his own counteroffensive. He stood up, walked to the center of the hearing, and looked around.

"Your Excellency, Senator, please allow me to speak. Maybe I'm not an expert, but I know who the real one is. Tony, it's your father. Howard. Stark. It is not only our patriarch, but also the father of our military industry. You're just like him, you're all geniuses. You inherited this from your father, especially your talent for weapon development. ”

"We all know what we're here for. For most of the year, Tony. Stark crafted a sharp sword, but he insisted it was just a shield. He wants us to trust Him and wants us to hide behind Him because it will be safe. I wish I had felt safe, I really thought that at first. But after the monster rage in New York and the huge biological events in Europe, I really can't think so. After all, he didn't show up to us when we thought he could protect us. And that's enough. ”

"I didn't mean to accuse Mr. Stark. After all, we live in a world full of dangers, and Mr. Stark doesn't necessarily have a way to anticipate danger, and he doesn't necessarily have the means to rush to it when it comes. So I can only wonder if it is a different way to let Mr. Stark protect us. Hand over the toy in his hand and give it to those who are more protective of us. This may be the right one. ”

"That's it, guys. That's my personal opinion. God bless America, God bless Iron Man! (To be continued.) )
