Chapter 144: Mark's No. 1 Steel Suit is Born
Agent Phil Coulson looked at Chen Mo with some confusion.
Shouldn't he disdainfully refuse, and then convince him with the righteousness of maintaining world peace and protecting all mankind?
Who would have thought that he would agree so simply, and all the words he had prepared for a long time would be useless, but what did he mean by his last words? Am I being drafted?
For Chen Mo, the dictator of Hydra and the core leader of S.H.I.E.L.D., the major general of the US military and the commander of the special operations team of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau do not have any attraction, but for his next actions, it will be much more convenient to have such an obvious identity.
After all, although the strength of Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. is huge, they are hidden behind the scenes, and it is not suitable to appear in public, and it is not too convenient to use them.
Chen Mo originally joined the U.S. military with Steve more than 70 years ago, and immediately joined the Strategic Science Reserve jointly established by the allies, and now accepts the rank of major general of the U.S. Army, and the commander of the special operations team of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, and is just reinstating his former status.
Moreover, although he took over these two appointments, Chen Moke had no intention of accepting their leadership and command.
I have received the right, obligation? Lao Tzu is already maintaining world peace, if anyone dares to point fingers and beep blindly, Chen Mo will let him know what it means to bring humiliation on himself.
Of course, the military, the government, the International Security Council, and Nick Fury and others would not be naïve enough to think that they could command Chen Mo at will.
If you open Chen Mo's dusty files, you can find that Chen Mo has always acted resolutely, decisively, arrogantly and ruthlessly, and unruly.
He is an absolute doer, maintaining world peace and fighting evil forces, Chen Mo is definitely going all out, but he has his own principles and ways of doing things, and he has no fear for the powerful, and it is simply unrealistic to command him like an ordinary soldier.
This is also the reason why Nick Fury feels that the appointment of Chen Mo has passed a little too smoothly, Chen Mo is so reckless, he thought that his plan would have some resistance, but now it seems that these politicians and the military are not stupid enough to see Chen Mo's value clearly.
They don't expect Chen Mo to absolutely obey the arrangement, he exists more as a strategic force, and they can handle the general situation by themselves, once a major incident occurs, Chen Mo will come in handy, and at the critical moment when it comes to the interests of mankind, he will naturally go all out.
Chen Mo destroyed the powerful Hydra at the beginning, changed the tide of World War II, and at the last moment, in order to avoid the city being bombed, causing a large number of casualties, he drove the super bomber of Hydra into the sea without hesitation, and there was no problem with his thoughts and character, which is why they dared to hand over the power to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo is a trump card for them, as long as he pays a good tribute on weekdays, he will show his great value at critical moments, they just need proper supervision, and Agent Phil Coulson is a good candidate.
He is steady, sophisticated, and has strong organizational and action skills, which can not only assist Chen Mo very well, assist him in his work, but also play a good supervisory role, so Nick Fury did not object after learning that Chen Mo recruited Phil Coulson and transferred him to the special combat team.
Although Chen Mo only intended to enjoy the rights after accepting the appointment, and had no intention of accepting the command, in fact, Chen Mo was already responsible enough, and began to start the Ice Warrior Project seventy years ago, preparing to deal with the future alien invasion.
Because in Chen Mo's opinion, the whole world is his, and it is his responsibility as the lord of the earth to maintain the safety of his territory.
That afternoon, Chen Mo and Agent Phil Coulson returned to Washington by helicopter.
As the helicopter landed on the tarmac on the roof of the headquarters building of the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, Tony Stark was also stepping off his private jet on the other side.
This is the U.S. Air Base in Baghlan, Afghanistan, and next to the ramp of the plane, a dozen senior officers of the U.S. and Afghan military are standing there, ready to welcome Tony Stark.
"Hello General!"
Dressed in a crisp suit and wearing sunglasses, Tony Stark walked briskly down the gangway, with an uninhibited smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to a senior U.S. military officer standing at the front.
The base commander smiled and shook Tony's hand.
"Hello Mr. Stark, we're looking forward to your weapons display."
……
A desolate no-man's-land dozens of kilometers away from Baghlan airbase.
On one high ground, several military Humvees were parked, dozens of heavily armed American soldiers were on guard with guns on all sides, and on the high side, a dozen senior military officers of the two countries were listening intently to Tony Stark's speech.
"Is it scary? Or is it respectable? ”
"I wonder if it's possible to do both."
"Now, I'd like to introduce you to the best of Stark Corp.'s 'Freedom' weapon series."
"It is the first missile system to be equipped with our proprietary thruster technology."
"It has been said that the best weapon is the one that never needs to be used."
"I have reservations."
"I prefer weapons that only need to be used once."
"This is the experience of my father, and it is also the experience of the military."
"This experience has been proven by history."
"Give it a chance to try it out, and I can assure you that those scoundrels will never want to get out of their holes again."
After Tony finished speaking, he waved his hand to the operator on the side, and immediately, a missile truck located not far from everyone moved, and with the sound of a motor running, the missile on the weapon rack was raised, and began to adjust its direction, aiming at a mountain range a few kilometers away from everyone.
Then, one of the three missiles was activated, and a violent stream of white flame erupted from its tail, pushing the missile away from the weapon rack and flying into the air at great speed.
The powerful thrusters gave the missile extremely high speed, and it quickly crossed most of the distance, flew over the target mountain, and began to descend from a height.
A burst of fire suddenly lit up, and the shell of the missile's body was thrown out, revealing dozens of small missiles neatly arranged inside.
These small missiles were immediately ejected from the missile body, and the tail thruster was activated at the same time, pushing these missiles to fly quickly towards the mountain range below, and under the guidance of the positioning system, dozens of small missiles were evenly dispersed, covering the entire mountain.
"I solemnly recommend to everyone, Jericho missiles."
After Tony Stark finished speaking, he slowly raised his hands and stretched them out at his sides.
Behind him, dozens of missiles fell from the sky with tail flames and hit the mountain range, producing a violent explosion, the soil of the mountain was lifted by the explosion, and it flew into the air, hundreds of meters high, and the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion immediately rushed towards the surrounding area at high speed.
The powerful wave of air generated by the shockwave carried a large amount of dust on the ground and swooped up from behind Tony Stark, turning the people who were unable to react on their backs, and the hats on their heads were blown without knowing where they were blown.
However, Tony Stark was mentally prepared, but he took a few steps forward with the momentum of the shock wave, and then sorted out his clothes in a dashing manner, and walked to several large metal boxes with Stark's logo on the side.
When the lid of the box was opened, a burst of cold air came out, and the bottom of the box automatically rose, and the wine glasses neatly arranged in the card slot, ice cubes, and several bottles of fine wine were raised to the top of the box.
Tony Stark casually picked up a glass of whiskey with ice and said as he walked.
"Buy more than $500 million at once and get free wine."
"For peace."
……
The display was a success, and all the soldiers present were thrilled by the sheer power of the Jericho missile, and Tony confidently said in a subsequent call with company veteran Obadiah Stein that he was going to make a big profit this time.
However, on their way back to the base, they are attacked by terrorists, killing all the soldiers who were protecting Tony, and seriously wounding himself by a missile made by Stark Industries.
When he woke up, he found himself locked in a cave with an electromagnet embedded in his chest and a car battery connected to it with a wire.
It turned out that after the missile exploded, a lot of shrapnel was shot into his body, and Dr. Ethan, who was imprisoned by terrorists with him, operated on him and removed most of the shrapnel, but there were still a few shrapnel close to the heart that could not be removed, and once they entered the heart of the heart, Tony Stark's heart would be slowly torn apart, and his heart would be broken.
The electromagnet was able to absorb the shrapnel and prevent it from entering the heart, saving his life.
The terrorists who arrived later asked Tony Stark to build the powerful Jericho missile he had demonstrated earlier, and his poor state and the discovery that the terrorists were all equipped with Stark Industries' weapons, Tony was disheartened and discouraged, and planned to sit idly by.
Thankfully, with Dr. Ethan's encouragement, Tony eventually got his spirits up.
He knew in his heart that even if he made a missile for them, they would not let him go, so he agreed on the surface, but in fact he was planning to escape.
In desperation, Tony's mind is unusually clear, and a brilliant idea quickly takes shape in his mind, and he quickly completes all of them.
With the help of Dr. Ethan, and using the tools and raw materials provided by the terrorists, Tony quickly built a miniaturized Ark reactor, replacing the heavy car battery, and sitting it directly on his chest.
Ten days later, the Mark 1 was finally finished and it was time to act.
But just as the two began to assemble the Mark One on Tony's body, they avoided the surveillance cameras, which aroused the suspicion of the terrorists who had been monitoring them outside, and they immediately sent several terrorists with guns to the cave where Tony and the two were imprisoned.
Several people shouted outside the cell door but no one came, and several terrorists opened the door of the cell directly, and the bomb that Tony had planted on the door in advance exploded immediately, killing them all.
But the explosions will soon attract more enemies, and the program of the Mark I Iron Suit has not yet been transmitted, and they are in a very dangerous situation.
Seeing that the situation is critical, in order to buy Tony time, Dr. Ethan picks up a terrorist's rifle and rushes out of the prison door, intending to buy Tony time with his own life.
Although he had never fought and all the bullets hit the roof of the cave, Dr. Ethan was able to drive out several of the terrorists who had rushed into the cave with a frantic ferocity of ammunition and an indomitable momentum.
It's just that when he roared angrily and drove a few terrorists who were afraid of death to rush to the mouth of the cave, he found that more than a dozen terrorists were waiting there, and the muzzles of more than a dozen black holes were all pointed at him.
Ethan put down the rifle in his hand a little dejectedly, he should have bought Tony enough time, his family is dead, and I should go with them.
At this moment, a fierce burst of gunfire suddenly came from outside the cave.
