175, Hammer and his ex-wife
At Edward Air Force Base, a transport plane landed on the 22nd tarmac, Sean and the dignitaries of the Department of Defense walked down the elevator, the hunting wind blowing his coat, accompanied by General Ross, Tony's friend Colonel Rhodes, and government officials from the Military Council.
The Energy Weapons Workshop was held at 8 a.m., and Sean handed over Ambrera's cooperation agreement, which fully elaborated on the concept and design of the energy weapons, and then in the afternoon they went to a nearby air base for field testing.
As he stepped into the base, Sean also saw Justin Hammer, the bespectacled, businessman-like military tycoon who had called himself by this name since Hammer Industries had packaged the weapons manufacturing plant sold by Stark Industries, and some newspapers that had taken advantage of it had added fuel to the story in an attempt to portray him as a genius like Tony.
Unfortunately, the public did not buy it, Hammer Industries has long been a second-rate company in the military industry, far from Stark Industries, a giant company that stands at the top, and its helmsman, Justin Hammer, is also mediocre, without Tony's glorious resume worth showing off.
"Hammer Industries has always had a good relationship with the procurement officials at the Department of Defense." General Ross lowered his voice.
Sean smiled faintly, similar to this kind of unchallenging opponent, he couldn't arouse the slightest interest at all, even if he let Ivan make a move, he could easily get the other party.
"I don't remember any new products from Hammer Industries." The young man pursed his lips and said in a teasing tone.
A smile broke out on General Rose's face, as a military dignitary, he naturally knew Justin Hammer's true level, and said with a smile: "We can't always ask everyone to be Tony Stark, at least Hammer Industries' stuff is cheaper than that playboy." ”
"The Ministry of Defense also needs window dressing, Stark is unwilling to hand over his steel armor, so he can only rely on an unlearned guy like Justin Hammer, who is copying steel armor, which is said to cost 120 million sets, and I have seen the original finished product...... I really can't find any adjectives other than a bunch of shit. ”
For the general to burst into foul language, it is enough to see that Hammer Industries' products are indeed inferior enough.
Laughing and talking along the way, Hammer walked into the gate of the base in a way that he thought was very stylish, followed by two soldiers pushing a pile of boxes, presumably the new weapons that Hammer Industries used to demonstrate.
"Hmm, I know you, the famous New York genius, is this your bodyguard?" Hammer greeted him warmly.
It can be seen that he tries his best to imitate Tony Stark's profligate unruly, but it is too clumsy, his expression is contrived, and he is slightly pompous, like a funny clown on stage.
"This is Ivan Vanko, Ambrera's chief weapons expert." Sean smiled politely, "I heard that you are about to sign a twenty-five-year contract with the Department of Defense, congratulations, Hammer Industries is about to rise to the top of the industry." ”
"I like what you say."
Hammer laughed, and before the field test began, he grabbed Sean and said in a low voice: "I know that Ambrera also has plans to enter the arms purchase market, do you want to cooperate with Hammer Industries?" I'm far more generous than Tony, you can get more, and the market will be dominated by us! As long as you are willing to give Ambrera shares, of course I will also pay sincerely......"
The other party almost didn't write "stupid and more money in the next person" on his face, the corners of Sean's mouth twitched, and he replied perfunctorily, Hammer is nothing more than a businessman's habit, and he took a fancy to Ambrera's good prospects, and wanted to get in and get a piece of the pie.
It's just that he didn't know that this was tantamount to touching Sean's scales, a seemingly gentle young man who hated being touched by others the most. The exclusivity of male creatures is especially evident in Sean's body, whether it is Ambrera or something else, whoever dares to move, he will not mind overturning the table at any time.
The cold eyes flashed for a moment, and Hammer was still unaware, thinking that with the sheer size of Hammer Industries, the other party should be grateful to Dade or excited to hand over an olive branch to Ambrera.
"It's your turn, Mr. Hammer." Sean digressed.
In front of the dignitaries of the Department of Defense and the Military Council, Hammer opened the boxes, took out the new weapons inside, and teased: "Claridge semi-automatic pistol, nine-millimeter bullets...... 24 shotguns, manually loaded, five rounds per magazine...... A 40-centimeter howitzer capable of firing tear gas and smoke grenades...... 34 machine guns, six independent barrels, and a metal storm are enough to beat all enemies into ketchup......"
Looking at everyone's indifferent expressions, Hammer couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, although the things he took out were not new, but they had to react a little.
"Looks like I'm going to have to come up with something really good." The helmsman of Hammer Industries opened a black box, "This is a Sidewinder missile, attached to a cyclone explosive, with a cyclocubic methyltrinitroamine explosive, which can directly blow up a three-story underground bunker, this is my Eiffel Tower, my Rachmaninov Symphony No. 3, my most classic!" ”
"Elegant, lethal, holy and beautiful like my Lady Liberty, I named it 'ex-wife.'"
Hammer Tian shamelessly boasted about himself, the dignitaries of the Department of Defense are used to seeing this kind of occasion, they care more about the steel armor imitated by Hammer Industries, these things are not important, a week later at the military weapons seminar, the military will at least come up with what is on display, to explain the huge expenses in the year, where it has been spent.
"This kind of broken copper and iron can also be called a weapon?"
Ivan was a little surprised, he couldn't understand why this kind of junk that should be placed in a second-hand factory could be brought here.
Sean patted the Russian man on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Show them your proud work, this is the first step you want to defeat Tony Stark, and tell those bigwigs in the Ministry of Defense that the Ark reactor, which no one can imitate within twenty years, will be easily solved by you." ”
Ivan nodded silently, he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and the feud between Howard Stark and his father now continues to the next generation.
Who would have known that the glorious and dazzling Empire State Building of Stark Industries hides the bitter blood and tears of two generations of the Vanke family. While Tony Stark was hailed as a genius, he struggled to survive in the cold winds of Siberia.
Ivan opened the black box with the red and white umbrella LG printed on it, and held a rather heavy metal gun in his hand, with the energy core of the Ark reactor installed in the center, and the whole body shimmered with a silvery white cold light.
The Russian man held the weapon in one hand, activated the energy delivery device, aimed at the thick steel plate used not far away, and a dark blue beam erupted, and the strong recoil made Ivan take a few steps back, and the sixty mm steel plate was directly penetrated, and a large hole was opened in the center.
This kind of precision lethality has moved the dignitaries of the Department of Defense, and in Ambrera's report, the cost of an energy weapon is about 60,000 to 120,000 US dollars, which is indeed a good price compared to expensive steel armor.
Hammer stared at the Ark reactor on the energy weapon, his eyes burning, as if he saw a naked and charming beauty, although he tried his best to restrain his greedy expression, he was still like a hungry wolf, eager to snatch the glittering gadget immediately.
Justin Hammer wants to get a long-term order from the Department of Defense by imitating Tony Stark's steel armor, which is a big deal, enough to bring Hammer Industries to the top, but with his current R&D capabilities and manufacturing technology, he can only make a few prototypes.
However, Sean's energy weapon made his eyes shine, especially the energy core, which is simply a replica of the Ark reactor, and if it can be added to Hammer Industries' steel armor, it is a perfect fit.
Throwing aside his proud "ex-wife", this thing no longer works, and his mind is now full of Ambrera's energy weapons.
