Chapter 123: Tony's Acting Moment (3)
"I'm sorry, don't even think about it, I'm Iron Man, I'm one with the Iron Suit, handing over Iron Man is handing over myself, that's considered hard labor or selling myself, it depends on which state you are in, I can't give it to you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Tony said seriously, he would never hand over the steel suit, this is his insistence.
"Well, I'm not an expert......"
Senator Stern needs to ask for outside help, and he can't say Tony.
"Selling an expert? Of course you're not, you're a senator. ”
Tony ridiculed Senator Stern and pulled Senator Stern's position down, so as to reduce Senator Stern's influence on another level.
"I'm not an arms expert, but we've got a weapons expert, and I'm going to subpoena Justin Hammer, the main arms dealer in the Department of Defense right now."
Senator Stern ignores Tony's ridicule, he knows that if he responds to Tony's ridicule, he will be taken away by Tony and deviate from his direction, so he directly calls his witness, Justin Hammer.
Justin Hammer is the chairman of Hammer Industries, and one of the main competitors of Stark Industries before, but since Stark Industries announced the closure of the weapons department, Hammer Industries has become one of the most important arms dealers in the Department of Defense.
"Please note that I saw Mr. Hammer walk in, and I don't think I saw any weapons specialists."
Tony will not recognize this Justin Hammer as an expert in weapons, he is just a businessman, a capitalist, and he does not deserve to be called an expert at all.
The people below heard Tony say this, and they were also talking, they were woken up by Tony, this person is just the owner of an arms company, and he can't be called an expert, Senator Stern found that the scene was a little out of control, and immediately struck his gavel to calm down the scene.
"Hehe, that's right, I'm not an expert, you are, Tony, you're a genius, Senator, please speak, maybe I'm not an expert, but you know who is the real expert, your father, Howard Stark, he is not only our patriarch, but also the father of the military industry, but please make it clear, he is not a child who sells flowers, he is a lion, we all know why we are here today, during this time, Tony Stark has built a sharp sword, but he insists that it is just a shield, It wants us to trust him, it wants us to hide behind him, I really hope I feel safe, I really want to, I wish I didn't have to lock the door when I go out, but this is not Canada, we live in a world full of dangers, Mr. Stark may not be able to foresee all the dangers, thank you, God bless Iron Man, God bless America. ”
Hammer is a brilliant businessman, and his demagogic eloquence makes people feel like they are in danger and need a more powerful weapon to protect them, and that weapon is Tony's steel suit.
Justin Hammer's remarks made Senator Stern take the lead in applauding, and some applause was also remembered at the scene, although not much, but it has changed the situation of Tony being dominated here.
"That's right, Mr. Hammer."
Senator Stern said appreciatively.
"We now invite Colonel James Rhodes to be there."
The next witness that Senator Stern called out surprised Tony a little, and so did the people at the scene, because as we all know, Colonel Rhodes was Tony's good friend, and now he was on the other side's side, and everyone turned their heads to look at the door and watched Colonel Rhodes, who was dressed in military uniform, enter the venue.
"Hey, man, I didn't expect you to come back."
Tony stood up to welcome Rod, but there was confusion in his eyes, he didn't understand why his best friend was here.
"That's right, it's me, I'm here, accept the facts, let's continue."
Rod said, he didn't know what expression to use to face Tony, Wang Kai also looked at Rod in the audience, in the movie, Rod was directly replaced, so what would be the situation in the real world, Wang Kai obviously found that Rod had lost a lot of weight, became stronger, and there were some changes.
"OK, I'm just, just ......"
"Don't talk about it."
"Okay, I'll not say that."
Tony and Rod spoke briefly in the aisle, and the two of them took their seats.
"This is the complete report that Colonel Rhodes has collected about Iron Man's weapons, Colonel, please read the fourth paragraph on page 57."
Senator Stern said to Rhodes as he looked at the report in his hand.
"You want me to read a specific passage from the report? Honourable? ”
Rhodes certainly knew what he had written in the report, and he knew what Senator Stern had made him read, but that passage would be very unfavorable to Tony's testimony if taken out of context.
"Yes."
Senator Stern smugly said that being able to have Tony's best friend testify was more convincing than anything else.
"I thought I was here to do a complete and detailed report."
Rod was very unhappy because he had not been informed that this was the case, otherwise he would not have attended this hearing.
"I know very well, but there are a lot of variables today."
Senator Stern made excuses.
"If you could read it, just reading that passage wouldn't represent my full report."
Rhodes expressed his dissatisfaction, but also wanted to explain the situation.
"Please read it, Colonel, I see what you mean, thank you."
Senator Stern didn't want Rhodes to continue his arguments, or it would be very disadvantageous.
"Well, 'since Iron Man is not affiliated with the government, Iron Man has potential security risks, for the country and the national interest,' but my conclusion is that there are far more benefits to Iron Man than disadvantages, and it is in our interest...... Bring Mr. Stark to the military chain of command, Councillor. ”
Rhodes read his report and made some excuses, but Senator Stern didn't seem to be going to let him continue.
"That's enough, Colonel, I said enough."
Senator Stern did everything he could to interrupt Colonel Rhodes.
"I don't like to be part of any system, but I could consider being defense secretary and I can reduce the number of hours I work."
Tony also understood that Rhodes was used by this Senator Stern to slander himself out of context, and a detailed report naturally had to list the advantages and disadvantages, so what was the use of only reading the disadvantages.
