Under the flashing lights, the first to speak was the White House spokesman.

"The White House deeply regrets the attack on Mr. Tony Stark, which everyone is concerned about. The U.S. government is committed to protecting the safety of every U.S. citizen. His Excellency the President's order to the Department of Homeland Security to send three Hamilton-class gunboats to the area of the accident is the greatest proof of this. ”

He spoke eloquently for a few minutes: "Next, I would like to give the floor to Madam President. ”

Yelena, disguised as President Ivanka, proudly stepped up to the podium and opened with the words: "Our country is in the midst of the greatest crisis in history." ”

This sentence made the hearts of all the people who were watching the live TV broadcast tighten.

Ivanka raised her right fist and slammed it on the podium with a muffled sound!

"Is the war over? No! On the contrary, the war has just begun! According to our intelligence, we have reason to believe that a group of unknown aliens with Zetarians as minions are planning a larger-scale invasion of Earth. It will not be more than 2018 at the latest. ”

"The clouds of war still hang over the heads of every human being, but the enemies within the human race, as well as the traitors who have been bribed by the aliens, are constantly blocking the progress of the human race, trying to disintegrate the efforts of human beings to survive and protect themselves!"

Yelena's voice was deep, powerful, and magnetic, and every word struck the hearts of the people.

"Tony Stark is not an ordinary citizen! He is a great hero who defended New York and even all mankind. ”

As she spoke, the large projection screen behind her was playing scenes from Iron Man's battle in New York. The blue laser pulse killed the Zetari biochemical soldiers one by one......

"Mr. Stark's safety is at stake for the future of humanity!"

"So I hereby declare, in the name of the President, that Mr. Tony Stark shall be granted the highest protective order in the United States. Anyone in the United States who discovers the missing Mr. Stark should report it to the police as soon as possible. The state will dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals to provide personal protection as soon as possible. ”

"Great American people! Remember! The war has just begun, and we must continue to unite against the enemy!"

After speaking in one breath and briefly answering questions from several journalists, President Ivanka left the press conference.

She was led by her assistant to a side hall.

Pepper Pepper Pepper was already waiting there. Before the press conference, after Daredevil rescued her and Maya, other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrived and took them away from the scene and sent them to Washington.

Pepper had groomed herself, but it was clear that she was still in shock.

As a staunch supporter of Tony, Pepper was desperately trying to stabilize the rear and support the day-to-day operations of the entire Stark Industries when Tony was on the waves.

Seeing the president come in, Pepper got up as soon as she could, stretched out her hand, and she was about to give a handshake: "Your Excellency, thank you very much for your support, I ......"

Who knows, the female president directly gave her an unexpected hug.

Ms. Johnson...... I ......"

"Thank you, kid. It's really hard for you to stick to this. ”

The kind female voice came into her ears, Pepper's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the endless grievances in her heart all came up, and she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed out: "I, I, woo-"

It took a moment for Pepper to stop crying.

"Pepper, can I call you Pepper? You can call me Ivanka, too. "Yelena is a perfect portrayal of a kind elder.

"Okay, about...... Ivanka. ”

"Humanity faces the greatest threat ever, and aliens are poised to destroy us. Tony He is humanity's most precious treasure and the hope of humanity. I'll do everything I can to find him and protect him!"

Pepper was moved to death: "President...... Ivanka, is there anything I can do?"

Actually, there are. ”

"Huh?"

"We've also studied Tony, and we've found out that he's actually a collector. So we have reason to believe that in his villa in Malibu, California, there should still be a batch of early models of Iron Man suits. We know Tony should give you pretty high authority......"

Speaking of this, Pepper was stunned.

Yelena continued, "Kid, it's not a deal, it's just a request. The aircraft carriers George Washington and Enterprise sank, and the Carl Vinson and Eisenhower were badly damaged. Our army is half-crippled, and America needs better weapons to protect its population. We don't expect you to give away Tony's latest baby. I only hope to get one or two sets of armor similar to [War Machine] to enrich the combat power of the US Air Force. ”

Pepper is at war with heaven and man in her heart.

If in peacetime, the president makes such a request, it is undoubtedly robbery.

It is also true that the battle of New York has greatly damaged the vitality of the army.

Traditionally, if the president's party is different from the one that controls the Senate and the House of Representatives, he has basically not expected to be able to govern smoothly, but this time, the bill that the president put forward as soon as he took office to issue national bonds and allocate them to an emergency arms budget was passed by a unanimous vote in a flash.

It can be carried in normal times, but it is death to carry it when disaster strikes.

Didn't you see that the Zetarians didn't talk about persuasion to surrender, and they didn't even have a diplomatic notice, so they started fighting directly?

Stark Industries has also secured a large number of government orders for the development of alien weapons. No matter how stupid Pepper is, he won't get in the way of this.

After thinking about it for three seconds, Pepper nodded: "I can call the shots and give three sets of steel armor with indicators no less than [War Machine] to the government for free." ”

"Great, kid. The people of America will thank you. Rest assured, I'm going to give them to S.H.I.E.L.D. for distribution. Like Captain America and Daredevil. I think these comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side with Tony will be recognized by Tony. ”

Tony's first suit was given to his good friend James Rhodes.

said that James robbed it, but in fact, Tony himself was upset. Without his approval, no one can move.

Today, when the relationship between Tony and Pepper is confirmed, Tony really loves Pepper very much, and Pepper has almost all the authority in Tony's lair.

Later that day, Pepper, who came back on the Quint transport plane, took Peggy Carter and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to the ruins of Malibu Villa quickly, and opened the warehouse on the bottom floor of the ruins, and Pepper was also stupid.

How sick is an engineering man who is rich, has strong hands-on ability, and is super brainy?

Well, there are close to 40 Iron Man suits on the scene!

What a blind eye!
