readx;?“ You say those iron lumps? What do you want them to do? ”

As soon as he heard Tony's request, Zhou Yi frowned, and then asked him a little strangely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"How do you say that, fill the strategic gap?"

Scratching his head, even Tony himself was a little embarrassed to explain. The original U.S. government had deep pockets, or rather, built these Titan machines at any cost. The sheer amount of money has even led to a deficit in the Ministry of Defense's spending. They were happy, but for Tony, who took over, it was a bit fatal.

Especially when he now has to operate the Altron system and the smart machinery production line, the economic tension is even more extreme. This is the disadvantage of optimizing the price of smart machinery for sale, and it is so bad that the current Ministry of Defense simply does not have that much money to rebuild its own coastal defense system.

You must know that all along, the Americans have stretched their coastal defense very long, and they can even build the first, second, and third island chain in other people's territorial waters. But now, not to mention causing chaos on other people's doorsteps, even in its own territorial waters, the United States does not have so much energy to maintain it.

And the main reason for this is that the negotiations with mutants have been in a very unfavorable state. Although considering the friendship between Zhou Yi and Tony, the mutants led by Magneto reluctantly accepted the olive branch of peace handed over by the Americans. But this does not mean that they have to cooperate with the Americans in everything. For example, the several major fleets they have collected overseas have not been traced yet.

And because this is the fault caused by the actions of the Americans themselves, even Tony is not so cheeky and goes to negotiate with the mutants to get those fleets back. And this has led to the fact that the current coastal defense line of the United States is really a mess.

You know, Americans have always been accustomed to treating the entire Pacific Ocean as their backyard. This time they can only cower near their own territorial waters, how can they get used to it. Therefore, the protests and complaints of the US Navy have basically not stopped. It's a bit unlikely that Tony just wants to ignore it.

And he didn't want to negotiate with the mutants, so he could only hit the idea of the city property of Radiant City, those Titan machines that had been confiscated by the corona.

As the largest military expenditure since the founding of the United States, the Titan machine itself does not possess the ability of those warships above the 10,000-ton level. As long as these Titan machines can be restarted and remodeled, there is no problem at all in maintaining coastal defense security.

It is even said that as long as the military's latest aerospace aircraft carrier leaves the factory, he can completely rely on the high mobility of the aerospace aircraft carrier to cooperate with the powerful combat effectiveness of the Titan machine to build a more powerful battle group than the US overseas fleet. Of course, the premise of this idea is that he can get the Titan machine back. Otherwise, he would have to wait for the economy to ease back and rebuild a new Titan machine to complete his idea.

For his thoughts, Zhou Yi can also guess a rough idea. He touched his chin and pondered for a while. Then he responded.

"It's not a big problem, but it's not enough for me to agree, you have to say hello to Eric and Charles at the very least. After all, this is the weapon of war that you created to deal with them, and if you can't give them a reasonable explanation, then obviously, it will lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings. I don't think you want mutants to misunderstand the U.S. government at this time. ”

"You have a point." Removing the napkin from his lap, Tony stood up directly. "So, I'll take care of you to make a recommendation. I think if I had come to visit alone, I would have been more likely to be beaten. ”

"It's rare that you can have that kind of self-knowledge." pushed the plate in front of him, and Zhou Yi also stood up. "Okay, anyway, I've been free lately, so I'll leave this referral task to me."

"Man, I knew you could be trusted."

Hehe, with a smile, Tony expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yi in this way. In this regard, Zhou Yi just pouted and explained to his three children. The content is nothing more than asking them to be obedient and take care of their younger brother by the way, and of course, it is inevitable to let them help cover up and say some good things and so on.

didn't let Tony wait much time, and Zhou Yi finished explaining the matter. Then, he drove Tony straight to the City of Steel and went straight to Eric's office.

"I'm a little surprised that you came in person."

Magneto, who was in the office, looked up and saw Zhou Yi and Tony coming in, and his face immediately showed some irrepressible consternation. All along, his attitude towards Zhou Yi has been changing. The most obvious thing is that he went from the beginning of the confrontation to directly switch to Zhou Yi's command. And after seeing Zhou Yi's strong strength in the war, his attitude changed again. That is, from the respect for the strong, to the reverence for the gods.

He already regarded Zhou Yi as a person of a completely different class from himself, and a person who was completely higher than his own level. So, his attitude was really a little too respectful. Respectful to the point that even Tony was a little surprised.

"I think it's great that you brought me here."

He inevitably muttered, but this muttering immediately caught Eric's attention. If Magneto's attitude towards Zhou Yi is respectful, then his attitude towards Tony, Mr. President, who is now hugely popular in the whole of the United States, is inevitably a little strange.

"Look who's coming, isn't this the famous President Tony Stark? Please forgive me for the offense, I really didn't get the notice that you would come to me. If I had known in advance, I promise that my compatriots outside today would have been very welcoming. ”

"Can I take this as a compliment?"

As a connoisseur of mocking people, Tony naturally heard his words. If it was usual, he would definitely have shelled it back. But now, as a person who has a demand for the other side, he has to suppress his temper and show a good attitude.

With Zhou Yi here, Magneto naturally can't be too obvious. Especially when he knows that the relationship between Tony and Zhou Yi is still very good. So he could only nod his head and respond.

"Of course, I definitely mean a compliment. Can you explain your intentions? President Stark, I think your time should be precious, and so should mine. So there's no need for us to waste time on such polite words. Are you right? ”

"Quite right, I agree." Nodding, Tony wasn't too interested in playing with Magneto. So he directly stated his purpose. "Because there are some holes in the U.S. defense right now, I hope to get back some of the things we've lost from here. Take, for example, the Titan machine. ”

"Titan machines?" Hearing the name, Magneto's eyes immediately narrowed. "You mean the machine that was built to kill us."

"I'm sorry, but I know that thing can easily touch your nerves. However, you should know that technology is just technology and does not contain anything else. We need these machines, not to deal with you, but to protect the country's defenses. If you have any concerns, I can sign the agreement. ”

He raised his hand and expressed his innocence at Magneto's warning. Tony assured him. And this made Magneto pull a very disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Agreements? Sorry, this is something that I can't believe at all. Since World War II, I've seen Americans sign countless agreements, and I've seen them tear up their own countless times. We all know what it's all about. So, I'm not going to put my trust in these things at all. ”

"Please, sir. What you're talking about has nothing to do with me. If you're really worried about this, I can vouch for this on a private basis. If you have any other questions. Then, I can find more people to vouch for. ”

Speaking of this, Tony quietly gave Zhou Yi a look. And for this kind of help-seeking behavior, Zhou Yi could only smile bitterly and said.

"Okay. Eric, if you have anything else to worry about. Then add me a copy. I promise that if something goes wrong with these Titan machines, I'll take matters into account myself. Is that okay? ”

"Of course, that's fine." Seeing Zhou Yi involved, Magneto immediately nodded. Said. "With your assurance, of course things are different. I can doubt the politicians, but I can't doubt the gods. ”

"Very well, then I think, we've come to an agreement. Is it? ”

With a sigh of relief, Tony was really glad that Magneto was relieved. Seriously, if this guy really doesn't want to nod his head, then he really doesn't know what to do. Forcibly pulling things back is an option. But the consequences of that are very serious.

He had to calm the mutants' emotions, because if one was not right, the waves caused by the mutants would be no less than anything Hydra had caused. And that's absolutely something that the current United States can't afford. So, no matter what, Zhou Yi did him a great favor.

He won't thank Magneto, but he will thank Zhou Yi. Because he knew exactly what had changed that. At the same time, he knows better what kind of treatment he will get without Zhou Yizai. Don't look at him as the president now, there are still many people in this world who are not willing to give face to the president.

Therefore, when he embarked on the return journey with Zhou Yi, he immediately said to Zhou Yi.

"Man, I really want to thank you this time. You've done me another great favor? ”

"Small meaning. Besides, I just need your help. (To be continued.) )
