Why is the military so domineering all over the world, exuding the spirit of a hegemon everywhere?

People too.

Living people.

How many generals in the Pentagon would turn their troops into cold steel machines?

If so, is the army still the army of their generals?

Yes.

Mercer and Hammer's calculations were doomed to fail.

At the Quantiko base, Mark, Tony, and Ross held a frank and expressionless note to each other about the same target.

Hammer Industries did not collapse.

General Mercer did not fall.

But the interests have already been divided between Mark and his party.

Mark asks for money.

Tony wants business.

As for Rose? Well, although Ross didn't say it, it's clear that Ross is targeting the vacant position after Messer stepped down.

Five days later.

Instead of waiting for the Judge Advocate General's Office, which was waiting at the Afghan air base, Madser waited for good news from Congress.

A hearing on the mandatory bill was passed.

A hearing on whether Tony Stark should be required to hand over the Iron Suit data is scheduled for February 15.

It was the day after Stark Meyfair.

Frankly.

Maiser was stunned when he heard the news.

After Mark and Rose came over, Maxer had made all the necessary preparations.

But......

What about the Judge Advocate General's Office?

What about the federal case that was said to be good?

What about people?

After hanging up the call from his allies from Congress, General Mercer, who had been sprayed with hyaluronic acid, walked to his window with a calm face, staring at the scorching sun hanging high in the foreign sky.

There are quirks.

Maiser thought.

That's when it happened.

Boom!

The office door was pushed open from the outside.

Maiser looked back at the visitor and said with a displeased face, "Mr. Hammer, I need to remind you that this is the army. ”

Justin didn't care at all, but hurriedly looked at Mercer and asked, "Has Congress passed the hearing?" ”

Maiser was dissatisfied with his future brother-in-law.

But for now?

Is there still a chance for this ship to get off?

Maiser thought to himself, but nodded without any expression on his face and said, "Yes, Congress passed, and the time is the second day of the Stark Fair." ”

Justin Hammer couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard Maiser's confirmation.

Seeing this, Maiser's evaluation of Justin was once again lowered by a notch.

Justin looked up and said, "That's great, is there any news from the Pentagon about our proposal?" ”

Just to support the soldiers, the annual expenditure of the mainland is enough to exceed 700 billion.

In Justin's opinion, this is simply crazy.

If all these soldiers are replaced by his iron warriors, it will be very economical, as long as a one-time expenditure of 500 billion, the local will have a well-deserved, invincible, and unstoppable steel army......

Justin thinks so, but that doesn't mean Messer thinks so.

Frankly.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't help himself, Maxer's position would probably be the same as Rose's, the Iron Legion theory is good, but it can't be rolled out.

But it can't be helped.

I've said it before.

Maxer is Rockefeller's son-in-law and investor, and Maxer can get to this point today because of Rockefeller's generous donation.

Then the problem is, since it is an investment, then it is expected to receive returns, which is the most basic trading integrity.

Maiser was already a little annoyed at the moment why he had agreed to Justin Hammer to help meet Lucy Rockefeller and Omen Rockefeller.

His original intention was just to help Justin Hammer resolve various patent lawsuits that Lucy had taken over.

But in the process of meeting, the scene somehow turned into Justin Hammer's solo show.

Justin fooled Lucy and Omen with images of the war that were still on paper at the time, as well as at Malibu Beach and bases in the Middle East.

After that.

Rockefeller thought it was a good idea.

So......

Maiser glanced at Justin, whose pupils dilated as if he had just eaten something, and said lightly, "Don't be too happy, what's going on with the Ark reactor." ”

Justin retracted his smile.

Although Justin once owned Vanke father and son, it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

What the?

Didn't Vanke father and son tinker in the laboratory for a while?

That's right.

However, Vanke father and son obviously imprinted the core technology of the small ark reactor in their minds, and relying on the experimental data left behind in the laboratory was useless at all.

But.

Justin looked at Maiser and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the Vanke father and son are being held in the surveillance ward of the New Amsterdam Hospital. ”

Maiser glanced at Justin and sneered in his heart, and said, "I warn you, Mr. Hammer, every move in the whole of New York is in the eyes of that Director Louis, and now that you are here, federal law cannot control you, but as long as you are in New York, ......"

Justin waved his hand impatiently and said directly: "I have already asked the lawyer to meet with Ivan Vanke." ”

Maiser was slightly stunned.

Met?

Max said suspiciously: "That Director Louis would make it so easy for your lawyer to meet with Vanke and his son?" ”

"Of course not."

“……”

Justin looked at Maxer's shrunken eyes, shook his head, and showed a lewd smile: "Of course he doesn't want to, but under public opinion, he can't only pinch his nose and admit it if he doesn't want to." ”

Maiser did not speak.

Justin then sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs and said proudly: "I have won Ivan Vanke's bail hearing tomorrow, and Ivan Vanke has also promised to continue to serve us." ”

“…… Wait a minute. ”

"What's wrong?"

Maiser's eyes suddenly lit up and asked the smug Justin, "Are you sure Ivan Vanke agreed to you so easily?" Don't forget, Igor Vanke is still in someone's hands, don't be by then, Ivan Vanke has already taken refuge in that person. ”

"No, it won't."

“…… You're so sure. ”

"Of course." Justin Hammer said like a monkey laughing at the corners of his mouth: "Igor Vanke passed away yesterday. ”

“…… What the? Maiser rose from his seat at once.

Justin nodded and shrugged, "Obviously, Igor Vanke was already sick, but because of the damn medical policy at home, coupled with some improper operations by the FBI, in this case, do you think Ivan Vanke could still be someone from the FBI?" ”

Maiser didn't speak, just frowned and thought.

Half ringing.

Maiser looked at Justin, who shook his head more and more violently, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure Igor Vanke is really dead." ”

"Absolutely."

“…… Good. ”

"Haha."
