Chapter 1073 News Scene The Man Who Died
Tony's return is very high-profile. Although he wanted to return to normal work after recuperation, he did not show the weakness and low-key after recuperating from a serious illness at all, but directly used a press conference to show that he had returned.
This makes many people wonder which play Tony is going to sing. And only so many people who are very familiar with him know that this is a warning, a special kind of warning.
It can be said that the first time he learned the news, Nick. Fury immediately pulled down his face. A hard punch slammed into his car. And Coulson, who has always been smiling, inevitably has an embarrassed look on his face.
These two people naturally knew who Tony's actions were for. Such an action has no other meaning than to warn them. And this directly illustrates the problem that Tony is completely distrustful of them.
It's normal to think about it, after all, when they were making a choice, they stood on a completely opposite position to Tony. And such a position is enough for the cautious Tony to hold a grudge against them for the rest of his life.
Only, is it necessary to do this degree? Whether it's Nick. Fury or Coulson, in fact, think that Tony's move is really a bit of a fuss, and there is no need for that. For they can now be counted as sincerely repentant. Steve's affair hit them hard. And under this kind of blow, they will inevitably have a revenge mentality. And if he wants to take revenge on the current Steve, he is waiting to be the enemy of the already powerful Hydra. This is not something that can be done by one person, and turning to a more powerful force is the only option. Tony was the most suitable and determined of them all, so there was only one choice in front of them.
It's just that Tony's attitude is a real headache for them, and in this case, they have to make a choice. Is it to pander to him in a low voice? or deliberately raise the price to be cold. I thought and thought, and I totaled and totaled. The two men finally decided not to provoke Tony on this issue anymore.
Tony is a bomb character. They didn't think they were at fault for the original incident, but the result was that the two of them were locked up in prison and squatted there for almost two years. If they make such a fuss again, they are really not sure what kind of means Tony will use against them.
Therefore, the two of them could only rush to the White House in a hurry. This way of meeting for the first time shows his attitude towards Tony.
An indication of attitude can determine many problems in the future. For example, friend or foe. Tony certainly couldn't tolerate one of his subordinates working against him, no matter who he was. Therefore, when the two of them showed such an attitude, he was actually relieved in his heart.
He could see the meaning of these two people to give in, and this submission now meant that they would no longer have any right to oppose him in the future. Everything is still in his own hands, and this rarely makes Tony have a big belly.
It's like now, in the face of this press conference that he ordered to convene. He immediately took a very praising attitude and praised the two guys.
"I think you all know that I used to go to recuperate because of some physical discomfort. When I was doing my training, I was actually very worried about whether the government's work could continue normally and stably. After all, the current government and the previous government are two very different models. More efficient and more focused. The bombastic politicians of the past, who were full of laughter, lingering at cocktail parties and lavish venues, were not up to the task. Only those who are truly elite, real people, can do such a job. And whether these people I appointed temporarily are such elite talents, I am actually not very sure. ”
And now, the facts have proven themselves. They've done a really good job, and I think they have the ability to continue in such an important position. So I announced Nick. Mr. Fury, and Phil. Mr. Coulson will continue to assume their responsibilities in his current position. Also, Maria. Ms. Hill will also be the new Vice President to assist me in the work of American government, thank you. ”
Three major appointments were made in a row, notably to fill the vacancy of the vice-president. The news that Tony gave was not without explosion. So for a while, all the reporters rushed up, and with a momentum that they wanted to stuff the microphone in their hands into Tony's mouth, they asked him one by one.
"Your Excellency, you are recuperating due to illness, what kind of illness do you have? Is there a fatal risk? ”
"It's just some simple physical discomfort, and there is no problem after recuperation."
"Your Excellency, neither of the two gentlemen you have appointed has any prior inauguration experience. Is it really appropriate to put them in this position like this? ”
"They had previously served in the secret services, and their decades of experience made them more than capable of doing such a job. So I think they're a great fit! ”
"Your Excellency, is there any special reason for you to remove the current FBI director from his position?"
"The F.B.I. is responsible for security and intelligence in the country. But according to my investigation, one of our bases has been completely overrun by Hydra. Because of the classified nature of the base, I can't tell you exactly how big the damage is. But I think the FBI is fully responsible for this. So, someone has to take responsibility for this mistake! ”
Answering the questions of many reporters, Tony waved his hand and motioned for the guards around him to separate the reporters. Journalists do have the freedom to report on the news, but White House guards also have the right to maintain order on the scene. The two do not conflict, the key is to see whose body is more dominant.
And apparently, the guards who eat on physical fitness are even better. So after they intervened, even these reporters wanted to stick it up like mad dogs, to make a little big news. But little by little, they were helplessly pushed out of the cordon.
In this respect, American journalists are clearly inferior to their counterparts in the UK and Hong Kong. And seeing that Tony was about to return to the White House, at this time, a person quickly approached.
"Look, it's the former FBI Director Phillips!"
The sharp-eyed reporter immediately recognized the identity of the person who came. In any case, this is also the intelligence chief in the United States, even if it was once, it is also an out-and-out big man. And now he appeared here, and he put on a menacing appearance. This immediately made the reporters present feel the breath of big news.
What is he doing here? Almost all the journalists present were speculating on the issue. And they never had to care about their mouths, but they whispered directly in private.
"I guess I'm not convinced. was forced to retire when he was only in his fifties, and he used this excuse, and he knew that he would definitely not be willing to do so. ”
"Maybe it's to beg for mercy. After all, he is an old man who has worked in the FBI for so many years, and it may not be so easy for His Excellency the President to remove him. It's probably just a compromise and a change of place. ”
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed in private? How can you find it like this? ”
Although the physical changes have not stopped, Tony's physical fitness has now reached the realm of superhuman. So these reporters are whispering in private, and he can hear them clearly. And this immediately made him deeply disgusted with the former director who appeared in front of him.
His removal was ordered by Maria, and on the surface he was quite innocent. But if you think about it, you will find that he is not innocent at all.
Not to mention Ultron's escape, just because they were invaded by the biochemical monsters of Hydra to the heart of the country, and almost the entire base was captured without being discovered by them, this can already be regarded as their dereliction of duty.
The loss or something is secondary, the key is that this incident has shown that he is fundamentally unreliable in intelligence. If something like this happens again, and it's in the city. The country that had managed to settle down was immediately plunged into chaos. So, there is no reason for him to keep such a guy in this kind of position.
It can be said that at this time, Tony has already made up his mind. No matter what he says, don't even think about staying. It's just that today, Phillips didn't come to discuss such a matter with him at all.
No one knows what Phillips has suffered during the month. Because no one has gone back to care about the fate of a loser. And only he knows how much he paid for such a decision.
As a spy organization that monitors the country, there is no reason why the FBI should not offend people. Moreover, it will definitely not offend ordinary people, most of them are some fierce and evil characters. In the past, when the United States was a big force as a backer, these people had to be scrupulous and not do something to him. And now, he's been cleaned up all at once. Naturally, those who were rectified by the FBI in the past would have credited him with this account.
For more than a month, various assassinations against him have emerged one after another. Although with his professionalism and the protection of intelligent machinery, he survived several near-deaths. However, his family was not so lucky. His children, his wife, and his two grandsons were all assassinated. And this directly forced him to the border of collapse.
Phillips is now in his fifties and has worked for the FBI for almost three decades. But the result was a ruined family. Who will settle this account with? His own answer was Tony. Stark.
Because of him, he lost everything. Because of him, his family was ruined. Perhaps for the country he was a hero. But for his own family, he is to blame for everything. So, he must make him pay, even if it is at all costs!
