Chapter 268 - The President Is the One Who Fears (Three Watches) (2000 Monthly Pass)
"Because of the urgency of the situation, after receiving a request from S.H.I.E.L.D., my client, Mr. Strange, used a weapon of mass destruction invented by Mr. Tony Stark, which had been successfully experimented with repeatedly, but had not yet been officially included in the U.S. military procurement list, to eliminate the monster. On behalf of the parties, I apologize for this hasty behavior. ”
Apologize? Why apologize?
This is to eliminate harm for the people!
It's just that the amount of information contained in it is too much.
A single weapon of mass destruction?
Wait, Stark Industries is now a double master, no, one company and two kings?
It was exaggerated enough to think that Stark had a demon Stark father and son, but now it seems that it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!
The following reporters fryed, all kinds of questions.
Mr. Hugo smiled and kept answering the reporter's questions perfectly, but did not reveal any more useful information.
"It's the same reason as the video mosaic, which involves military secrets. ”
At this time, Tony's big, who was admitted to the intensive care department of a hospital because of multiple strains, sprains, and soft tissue contusions, was watching TV and was confused.
Who am I?
What did I do?
When did I invent this tactical nuclear bomb again?
"Tony, what did you do?" next to him, Pepper, who was helping Tony peel the apple, looked at her future husband with suspicion.
"Well, Pepper, maybe you don't believe me. But I swear, I haven't done it before. ”
Suddenly the phone rang, and it was a phone number that Tony definitely didn't want to see.
"Hey, this is Tony. Mr. Mei, it's really rare that you would call me, and I was watching you on TV. ”
"Tony, turn around and ask the government, the so-called [Phoenix Flame] individual flamethrower was invented by you. ”
"......" the clever Tony fully understood what Mei Jiecao meant, "You don't want the world to know that there is a magician?"
"It should be said that it is not yet the time for the magician to officially expose himself to the public eye. ”
"That's all the pressure on me!" As a military expert, Tony knew the power of that move at a glance. If there really is such a weapon of mass destruction that is controlled so accurately and so accurately, the government will not come to Stark Industries to turn it upside down, and then kneel down and beg Grandma to let Stark Industries sell it to the government!
The problem is, Tony didn't invent this thing himself!
"Tony, remember? You owe me a favor. ”
"Okay!" Tony is a simple man.
The day after the destruction of Harlem, big news came one after another, and the White House was made extremely passive.
At this time, the U.S. government can see that Mei Jiecao is putting pressure on them.
First, the media reported the destruction of Manhattan's Harlem district, then the heroes came out to scare it, and finally it ended with Strange.
The mysterious Mr. Strange has already struck first, branding himself as an American hero.
Coupled with that veteran seniority, bottomless financial resources, and influence on the media, even if the government wants to dump the blame, it will definitely not be able to dump the Strange family now.
The government lost its temper completely, and as they expected, that night, Peggy finally got through to May's phone.
"Hello, Mr. Strange, this is President Richard of the United States. ”
"Hello, Mr. President. Mei Jiecao's tone was flat, and he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"In this abomination incident, thank you Mr. Strange for serving the country, I actually want to express the gratitude of the government and the people, thank you, sir, for killing that monster. Now I'm going to give you a medal ......," the president said with a great deal of enthusiasm.
After talking for three minutes, the basic plum festival was quietly listening.
The phone was on the loudspeaker, but the staff next to him, as well as the psychologists, shook their heads. They can easily tell through each other's tone and reaction that the other party is not interested in the olive branch of the government.
Seeing that the aides shook their heads, the president could only change his approach: "Mr. Strange, as the new hero of the United States, you can put forward any reasonable request to the government." ”
If you can't win over, you can only trade openly.
In fact, at the same time as the phone call, the military was also tracking the location of Mei Jiecao's mobile phone signal.
"My organization has been guarding Earth for more than a thousand years, five times the history of the United States, at the hands of aliens and chaotic monsters. This time, I made a move, purely because New York is one of the most important barrier nodes on the planet, and we have a branch in New York. So I hope the government doesn't have bad misunderstandings about us, or excessive ideas. ”
As soon as Mei Jiecao said this, the entire American top brass was a little unhappy. This clearly means that they will never be controlled by the US government.
This is unacceptable to the proud old beauty.
In fact, the civil war broke out in the Avengers later, which was also the inevitable result of the US government's desire for control to ferment to its peak.
Of course, on the surface, Mr. President will not show it: "No, no, no, no, I think your organization has a deep misunderstanding of our government. Anyway, you are all benefactors of the American people. ”
Benefactors can also take revenge.
Mei Jiecao knows that the other party is even more undisciplined than herself.
Of course, he can not intensify the contradiction in advance, but he is unhappy!
Lao Tzu bothered to save a universe that would wipe out half of the population with a snap of his fingers in ten years, why should I work for a mere American government?
Work?
It's impossible to work for a lifetime!
Now the benefactor of the United States wants the government to do a small favor. ”
The president's face was unhappy, but his voice on the phone did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he was still full of enthusiasm: "Please speak!
"Dr. Banner is innocent, cancels his want, and publicly justifies him, declaring him a hero. ”
"This ......" The president was stunned for a moment, and looked at a four-star general next to him, who nodded. The president immediately replied: "No problem. ”
"Never stop probing me and my organization, or Stark Industries, the FBI or otherwise. I repeat, we do not want to be enemies of the United States. Now a powerful alien group has set its sights on Earth, and it will attack in four years, and the first target is the United States. If you still want us to help protect the earth, don't be a hindrance. ”
"How so?" said the president, grimacing, smirking dryly in a still enthusiastic voice. Only they know how angry he and the other governments are in their hearts.
I repeat, the relationship between us and the U.S. government should not be an enemy. I know you won't believe it, but time will tell, but four years from now you're still not president, that's another story. "At the end of the day, the president finally couldn't help himself.
He had just become furious, and Mei Jiecao had already hung up the phone.
