Chapter XXII: Congressional Hearings Break Up
As soon as the congressional hearing began, the Senate turned the conversation to Tony.
"Do you have a special weapon?"
Hearing this, of course, Tony directly said no.
"You don't?"
At this time, the senator's eyes flickered, and he asked with some confusion.
Tony naturally couldn't say it, deliberately pretending not to know, and changed the subject.
"It depends on what you think is a weapon."
The senator was not satisfied with Tony's answer, so he refused to give up.
"Iron Man is a weapon."
Hearing this, Tony naturally wouldn't admit it.
"My invention is not a weapon." Tony said in a firm tone.
"And how would you describe it?"
。。。。。。
At this time, Zhou Yun listened to the question and answer between Tony and the senator, and wanted to laugh a little, but now it seems that the senator has completely fallen into the disadvantage and choked on Tony's words.
I had no choice but to ask for foreign aid, Justin Hammer, the main arms dealer in the Ministry of Defense at present.
Zhou Yun is just a bystander now, and he has no right to speak at all, and the current time is a confrontation between Tony and Justin Hammer, and outsiders can't interject.
"Yes, I'm not a weapons expert, you are, Tony, you're a weapons genius."
"Allow me, Senator, maybe I'm not a real expert, but you know who the real experts are? Your father, Howard Stark, is not only our patriarch, but also the father of the military industry, but please be clear, he is not a flower child, he is a lion. ”
"We all know why we're here today, for half a year, Tony Stark has built a sharp sword, but he insists it's just a shield, he wants us to trust him, he wants us to hide behind him, I really hope I feel safe, I really hope. I wish I didn't have to lock the door when I went out. ”
"But we're not Canada here, we're living in a dangerous country, and Mr. Stark doesn't necessarily have a danger that he could have foreseen."
Justin Hammer said these words and would be in his seat.
At this point, the senator had a clear smile on his face.
"Well said, we're going to invite Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes to this meeting now."
The senator on the rostrum said something that made Tony a little surprised.
"Rod?"
Tony's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect that Rhodes would actually attend this meeting.
This kind of thing was completely unexpected by him.
However, since the other party is here, he has no choice.
"Below is the full report of the data on Iron Man's weapons that Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes searched."
The senator said this with a smile on his face that was in doubt.
"Lieutenant Colonel, please read the fourth paragraph on page 57."
When Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes heard this, his face leaked with consternation, obviously not expecting such a situation.
"You want me to read a particular passage from this report?"
Obviously, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes didn't expect this to be the case, and as Tony's friend, he naturally knew how much trouble Tony would be caused if he only read that paragraph.
"I thought I would make a complete and detailed report."
Therefore, he is not listening to the senator at all now
"Since Iron Man is not affiliated with any unit of the state, Iron Man has potential security risks, for the country, and the interests of the country, but my conclusion is..."
"Iron Man will do more good than bad to our country, so I recommend that Iron Man be added to our system."
At this time, the senator's face turned black when he heard Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes's words, and he quickly interrupted Lt. Colonel Rhodes' next words.
"That's enough, stop."
The senator roared with some rage.
In order to avoid long nights, the senator hurriedly asked the staff to show various data images of Iron Man's weapons on the big screen.
At first, the content played on the screen was normal, but after a while, all kinds of funny images appeared on the big screen.
At this time, Tony is fiddling with a high-tech device, remotely controlling the big screen, and playing some images in his favor on the big screen.
Many of these videos are all kinds of bizarre things that imitate Iron Man's production, but these things are all defective products and cannot be called steel suits at all.
Suddenly, everyone seemed to notice something terrible, and Justin Hammer appeared in one of the videos.
The senator's lungs were about to explode, and he had no idea that such a humiliating thing would appear in the public's field of vision.
Now this congressional hearing, but there are many reporters broadcasting it in real time, and they can't stop it at all.
"Turn it off."
At this time, Tony spoke, and the image just now could be said to be a straw that overwhelmed those senators, no matter how much he tried to stop it, there was no reason.
"Listen to me, this technology I developed, even if those countries or organizations are given five to ten years, they will not be able to crack it, so everyone can rest assured."
In this way, what was supposed to be a very serious congressional hearing ended in a farce.
For this kind of result, the senator obviously can't accept it, but now, what if he can't accept it, he can't reveal his identity right now, directly kidnap and threaten Tony to hand over the technology.
Zhou Yun was quite happy to see that the congressional hearing ended in this way, and from now on, Millikan's top brass had no excuse to ask for Tony's technology.
As for the blatant threat, it's just a matter of thinking, who is Tony Stark, not only the son of Howard Stark, who is known as the father of the military industry of Millican, but also the person in charge of Stark Industry, if he is blatantly threatened, it is very possible that there will be a large-scale march the next day, and they have to be cautious.
Walking out of the scene of the congressional hearing, Tony was instantly surrounded by some reporters, seeing this situation, he was a little glad that he didn't come out with Tony just now, otherwise, he couldn't bear this enthusiasm.
Quietly slipped away, without any journalists knowing.
Zhou Yun's intuition is very accurate, and now, there are many reporters looking for him.
It is big news that the person in charge of Hongyun Energy, who has not participated in various activities for a long time, suddenly appeared on the congressional hearing.
They originally thought that after the congressional hearing was over, they would go to block Zhou Yun and do an interview, but they didn't expect that after the congressional hearing, they didn't even see the other party's figure.
Walking on the bustling streets, Zhou Yun felt a little emotional, compared with the many disasters and hardships of the people of New York City, the people of Washington are really happy.
