"Bang Bang!" A round of applause rang out in the hearing hall, and Stein applauded and praised: "Well said, Mr. Hammer, now we have to invite Colonel James Roddy to the meeting. ”

"Roddy?" Tony's face was full of shock, he couldn't believe that the person he trusted the most had stabbed him in the back at this time.

Looking back, Colonel James Roddy, dressed in a formal suit, walked in from the gate, and the reporters present took photos one after another, the relationship between Tony Stark and Colonel James Roddy, few of the reporters present did not know, everyone knew that the show was about to be staged!

"Brother, I didn't expect you to come." Stark took a deep breath and stood up and walked over to Colonel James Roddy.

Looking at Tony Stark, whose face was a little heavy, Colonel James Roddy shook his hand vigorously, and said helplessly: "It's me, I'm here, accept the facts, then let's continue." ”

Tony could hear the helplessness in his friend's tone, as a soldier, it was his duty to obey orders, and he couldn't complain about it: "I'm just ......"

"Alright, don't talk about it." Colonel Roddy interrupted what Tony was about to say and walked straight to the speaker's seat.

Seeing James Roddy sitting down on the podium, Stein took out a document and said to everyone: "This is the complete report on Iron Man's weapons collected by Colonel Roddy. Colonel Roddy, please read it, page 57, paragraph 4. ”

"You want me to read a particular passage from the report, do you, Senator?" It sounded like Colonel Roddy was a little unhappy with Stein's out-of-context quote.

"Yes." Stein, of course, knew about Colonel Roddy's relationship with Stark, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"I thought I was here to testify to a complete and detailed report......"

"I understand." Stein directly interrupted Colonel Roddy's speech, loosened his tie, and said, "But there are a lot of variables today, so you just need to read ......"

"You know that just reading that paragraph out doesn't represent my full report." James Roddy couldn't help but feel a touch of absurdity.

"Please read it, Colonel, thank you." It's clear that Stein wants to crucify Tony Stark with this one-paragraph report.

Ling Xiao, who was in front of the TV, knew that Tony and Pepper had been prepared, but he couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Okay." Colonel Roddy sighed helplessly, flipped to page 57 of the report, and began to read: "Iron Man is not affiliated with any unit of the government, so it poses a danger to national security and interests. Although I wrote so, my conclusion is that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the disadvantages, and that having Mr. Stark in the military chain of command would be ...... to the U.S. government"

"That's enough, Colonel." Stein's face sank, and he directly interrupted Colonel Roddy's words, if he was allowed to continue, the result would be far from his expectations.

Listening to the atmosphere in the hall a little stiff, at this time, Tony suddenly said: "I don't like to join any command system, but I can consider becoming the Minister of Defense and working fewer hours!" ”

Tony's joke made everyone present chuckle, and the stagnant atmosphere was somewhat relaxed.

Stein glanced at Tony and Colonel Roddy, sneered slightly, and continued, "I want to play an image from your report, Colonel?" ”

Colonel Roddy immediately refused: "I don't think it's time to make these images available to the public......"

"With all due respect," Stein interrupted Colonel Roddy again, and said meaningfully, "I understand your concerns, Major. But if you could describe these images, we would be very grateful. ”

In a word, he once again questioned Colonel Roddy's position, so that he had no choice but to say helplessly: "Call up the image." ”

Accompanied by some satellite imagery, Colonel Roddy explained: "Intelligence data shows that the devices in these images are replicas of Mr. Stark's Iron Man, which has been confirmed by our allies and ground intelligence units, and it is likely that these steel armors can be used at this time......"

"Huh!" Ling Xiao, who was standing in front of the TV, suddenly saw Tony Stark cocking Erlang's legs at some point, and his expression was full of lightness, not knowing what was going on, but the look of determination on Tony's face could only show one thing, Senator Stein fell into his trap.

Stark suddenly interrupted Colonel Roddy's speech, picked up his phone and operated on the TV screen for a while, and then the screen began to distort.

"Wait a minute, let me see, there's something, you see I'm amazing, I'm in control of your TV screen."

Tony spoke into the TV screen as he spoke, "I need them, it's time to make this transparent." Let's see what's going on, ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the TV screen, I believe it should be North Korea. ”

As Tony Stark's voice fell, a huge warehouse appeared on the TV screen, and a huge robot walked out of it, and after a few steps, the robot suddenly fell to the ground as if it had tripped and fell, and the weapons mounted on it suddenly sounded.

Looking at the time and place on the image, some people seem to have understood something, which is too similar to the image that Stein asked Colonel Roddy to explain before.

"Turn it off, turn it off quickly." Stein couldn't help but growl, and Justin Hammer, who was sitting on the other side of the podium, quickly stood up and walked over to turn off the TV, but he couldn't find the button.

"Iran, Syria, there is no urgent and serious threat! Hey, is that Justin Hammer, and how did he show up where? With Tony's exclamation, all eyes fell on the screen, and yes, it was Justin Hammer standing next to a replica steel armor.

"Hey, Justin, you're on TV." Stark deliberately reminded Justin Hammer, everyone present could see his embarrassment, and the TV broadcast screen also gave a big feature.

At the same time, Justin on the TV screen was manipulating the replica steel armor: "Good, turn left, good, turn right." ......"

As Justin Hammer operated, the replica steel armor on the TV screen suddenly sparked, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

At this time, Justin pulled off the TV cable, and the screen immediately went black, but at this moment, Justin's scolding voice in the screen was still echoing in the hall: "Hell, hell......"

"Wow......" Everything couldn't be more obvious, the so-called video image is Justin Hammer secretly copying the steel armor, and the place is the hostile countries of the United States, some of which are even at war.

Ninety percent of the people who appeared in the hearing hall were the elite of the U.S. government, how could they not have imagined that many people had their eyes on Senator Stein on the podium, and now they don't know how much he was involved.

Facing everyone's gaze, even Stein could only cover his face and not say a word, and in his heart he had already scolded Justin Hammer to the bottom.

Tony still refused to let Justin go, and said in a down-to-earth manner: "I have to say that most countries will take 5 to 10 years, and Hammer Industries will take at least 20 years. ”

Unable to respond to Stark's taunts, Justin Hammer quickly remedied, "I must point out that the driver didn't have an accident. ”

Hearing Justin Hammer say this, Stein couldn't help but cover his face again: Hammer, you idiot, you don't open your mouth, you can still use image forgery to prevaricate the past, as soon as you say this, don't you admit it all.
