On the front line in Afghanistan, a jeep convoy kicked up smoke and dust, and Tony, who had just finished selling his latest product from Baghlan Air Base, sat in the back with a glass of whiskey on the rocks, and the passionate rock music echoed in the carriage, and the young soldiers who sat in the back row with him looked at the legend with curiosity from time to time.

"How do I feel that you are going to take me to court-martial." Tony, who wears sunglasses, uses his sense of humor as always. "That's not going to work, what's wrong with me? I feel like you're going to put me down when you stop the next time. Why, aren't the commanders of the troops allowed you to speak? ”

"You can speak, sir." The young soldier replied shyly.

The silence in the car, as Tony Stark's opening was broken, and the soldiers in his car were no longer as restrained as before, and this playboy had the charm to always make a dull occasion happy or awkward.

"Sir, I have a question." The soldier sitting in the front row turned his head, his seemingly upright face with a gossip look that could not be concealed, "I heard that you slept with every cover girl of Maxim magazine last year?" ”

Talking about the topic of interest, Tony took off his sunglasses and said lightly: "Good question, you are right, I didn't have the cover girl in March, but fortunately, the twins in December." ”

"What else do you want to ask...... "Tony, who looks dashing and uninhibited, turns his head, "Are you kidding me?" This is not a classroom for elementary school students, what a hand! ”

"Can I take a picture with you?" The shy young soldier asked in a whisper.

"Absolutely." Tony leaned close to his little fan brother and continued to use his sense of humor, "But don't post it on your blog, please, what are you doing with a gangster gesture...... I'll just kid, hold it up. ”

"Peace, I love peace the most!" He babbled on and on.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, a fierce fire broke out, and the surging shock wave set off a wave of air, and a jeep driving in the front was hit by artillery, and the sturdy body instantly turned into scrap metal wreckage.

The convoy came to a halt, and Tony struggled to maintain his composure, as the best arms supplier in the United States, he had encountered many dangerous things, and he did not panic and shout like ordinary people.

"The left side is under attack......

There was a fierce exchange of fire on the communication channel, and the soldiers in the car rushed out, but before they could find any trace of the enemy, the fierce bullets rained down like a torrent of bullets!

"Jimmy, stay behind to protect Mr. Stark." The young soldier pulled Tony down and lay him down in the carriage to prevent him from being accidentally injured by a stray bullet.

Before the young soldier who rushed out of the car could shoot, a dense burst of fire burst out, and the fresh life that was still talking and laughing with Tony just now immediately fell, and the cold bullet instantly took everything away from him!

The bulletproof door glass was riddled with holes, like a hornet's nest, and Tony listened to the fierce firefight outside, the enemy's firepower was extremely strong, completely suppressing his own soldiers.

He thought for a few seconds, then reached out and pushed the car door open, unable to sit still and die. At this time, Tony couldn't help but regret a little, he knew that he should go back with Rhodes, and the main forces of the air base were all over there.

Dodging the roaring artillery fire and stray bullets flying across the battlefield, Tony leaned against a large rock and pulled out his phone to send a distress signal. His phone was connected to Jarvis's data terminal, and the trusty smart butler received the message, immediately located his location, and then told Obadiah and Pepper.

As the helm of an arms giant, Tony's upbringing was not all smooth sailing, with threats of kidnapping from Stark Industries' competitors, secret assassinations by other interest groups, and even surprise attacks by terrorists from other countries.

The distress signal was sent, and with a "bang", a grenade flew from the sky and landed in the dirt not far away, Tony looked at the conspicuous "Stark Industrial" on the weapon, and his brain briefly lost the ability to think, and then the explosion wave lifted him away, and in the thick and choking smell of gunsmoke, Stark, who fell to the ground, barely opened his eyes, and the blood stains on his chest fainted.

He ripped off his shirt, and shrapnel was inserted into the body armor he was wearing, and Tony felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his head felt like he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he was extremely drowsy.

It wasn't long before his consciousness went dark, and the world-renowned arms dealer collapsed on the battlefield under fire.

…………

Manhattan, New York.

"Tony Stark was attacked ......"

Sean doesn't seem surprised, his butterfly that has traveled through time and space has not brought much change to this world, and the future Iron Man is still moving forward according to the trajectory of history.

"You gave me a list of things to keep an eye on, and Tony Stark was on the list, and he sent a distress signal on the front lines in Afghanistan a minute ago and I intercepted it."

A cold voice sounded in the headset, compared to another single thread trumpet, Skynet was more like an indifferent and rational mechanical life, it followed Sean's instructions and loaded the Red Queen with a virtual personality, as if creating life, infused with a complete personality and thinking ability, and used to manage Ambrera in his place.

"Let Tony stay in the cave for a while, after all, it's a rare spiritual journey." Sean chuckled, he didn't want the playboy to be rescued so soon.

Moreover, the distress signal was actually sent to Obadistein, and Tony obviously did not realize who had leaked his route, otherwise how could the militants alone know exactly when and where the convoy departed, and even they had sophisticated and powerful weapons - all made by Stark Industries, enough to annihilate the regular troops of the United States.

Those who have access to this confidential information are undoubtedly people close to Tony who he trusts very much, and if you think about who the ultimate beneficiary will be after he is killed, all this can basically come to the answer.

If Obadiah had gotten Tony's distress signal, the playboy who had been building armor in the cave would have lost his life.

"According to you, Tony Stark is a key figure in this world, aren't you going to make sure he's safe?" Skynet asked suspiciously.

"I'm not their babysitter." Sean said lightly. "It's very helpful for Tony to be alive and for me to remain a prophet, but it won't have much effect if he dies, it's not dominoes, knock down one and destroy them all, Iron Man is just an introduction to the future, without Stark, there will still be someone else to replace him."

"All I have to do is make sure that the world moves in the direction I know it to go within a certain range, and as for being like a babysitter, saddle up the superheroes and make sure they grow according to the original trajectory...... I came to this world to gain a place and control my own voice, and under this goal, whether it is S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra, whether it is a hero or a villain, they may be my enemies. ”

Sean's eyes flickered, his tone was indifferent, at this time he was more like a cold mechanical intelligent life like Skynet: "The world is a pyramid structure, the higher you go, the narrower the road, if you want to become the one who reaches the top, you have to pull down one competitor after another." ”

"Skynet, this world is like a huge hunting ground, you don't want to be the prey, not only must you have sharp claws and fierce beastliness, but you also have to hold a shotgun."

The young man looked at the bustling and noisy city, and his deep eyes flashed with the cold light of a hunter: "And the six gems are the best weapons." ”
