Chapter 7: A Performance for You (Part II)
Leaning back on the table, Justin continued, "First of all, he is not a sensationalist, on the contrary, he is a lion. Justin straightened up and spread his arms, "Why are we here?" It's because, Tony. Stark had built an incredibly sharp sword for the past six months, and he insisted that it was a shield. Justin shook his head and pouted, "He asks us to trust him, because we need it to protect, I want to be more comfortable, that's what I mean, I hope I can never leave a trail and never close my door, but this is not a paradise, we need to know that we live in a world full of dangers at any time, even Mr. Stark can hardly predict everything." "Justin. Hammer looked at everyone in the room, expressing his opinion to them, Stark holding his chin and looking at Justin, although he was disdainful, but he was quite right. However, to hand over the steel suit, hmph, absolutely impossible. "May God bless America and Iron Man." Before the end, Justin raised his hand in good wishes, winning the applause of everyone present.
Justin sat back on his actions, and the senator was the first to applaud and said, "Well done, Mr. Justin, now we have James. Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes was present at the meeting. The Senate's smile was smug, and Stark gritted his teeth as he watched. Rod! Tony wasn't surprised, because he already knew that Rhodes was coming, and at the same time, he took out his phone, and I wanted to see if you had anything else to say later.
Rod walked into the venue slowly, Stark stood up after seeing Rode, greeted Rode, and shook Rode's hand, "Hey, brother, I really didn't expect to see you here." Stark pretended not to expect, and Rhodes looked at Stark and sighed helplessly, "Yes." I didn't expect it, I'm here, let's face it, okay. Look back. With that, he pulled Stark to his seat. Stark said, "Okay, go back. ”
When the senator saw Rhodes coming, he said to the reporter, "I have in front of me a comprehensive report on the steel suit compiled by Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, Lieutenant Colonel, for the record, please read page 57, paragraph 4." All right. ”
Rhodes pointed to the report and looked at the senator, "You're asking me to read out a specific snippet from the report, right?" The senator smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's right." Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes. Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes explained, "Mr. Senator, I believe that my report needs to be fully integrated. ”
The senator pulled his cuffs and said, "I know, but I think the situation is a bit peculiar. So, you read that paragraph. Rod picked up the report and continued, "But Lightyear has taken this paragraph out of context, which does not fully tell the whole story of my report and fully reflect my opinions. The senator affirmed, "I know." Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, let's get started, thank you. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes nodded helplessly, "Well, since he doesn't operate under the guidance of a specific department. The existence of Iron Man has caused some potential threats to the security of the country and the interests of the country, but I will make it clear that the positive significance of the existence of Iron Man far outweighs the negative significance......"
When the senator heard it, why did he start praising Iron Man again, this is not right, let you read this paragraph, just to make you say that Iron Man is a threat, why are you still fast Iron Man, quickly intercept it, "Hey, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, stop." Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes did not listen to the senator and continued, "And the presence of Iron Man may still meet our needs." ”
Tony knows what Rhodes is going to say next, to let himself join a certain organization of the country, this is just a joke, his company is too lazy to care, and he still goes to participate in a certain organization of the country, isn't it sick? The senator saw that Rhodes still had a tendency to continue, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, it's already okay." ”
Ignoring the senator's obstruction, Rhodes continued, "I request that Mr. Stark be included in any of our systems. Tony pursed his lips and leaned on the table and said, "I'm not fit to be an official, and if you have to ask me, Minister of Defense, I might as well consider it, provided that I change my working hours." ”
Hahaha, the scene made Tony laugh again, the senator glanced at Tony, for Stark, he was completely helpless, so he had to say to Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, "Lieutenant Colonel, I think you should show some of the image content attached to the report next." He put down his glass of water, looked at the senator and said, "I don't think it's time to make these images public." The senator looked indifferent and continued to emphasize, "I understand, but Lieutenant Colonel, if at this time, you can show the image, we will be grateful." ”
The official is not as big as the family, but he is bullied, and Rod reluctantly said to the assistant on the side, "Please show the image." A set of images immediately appeared on the big screen, "Intelligence shows that the devices in these images are actually trying to imitate Mr. Stark's steel suit, and our allies and local intelligence services have recognized and confirmed this, and it is very likely that these suits are ready for use at present." When Rod said this, he seemed very unconfident, and his voice was very weak.
Stark took out his phone and said, "Wait a minute, brother, let me take a look." Holding the phone screen and taking a picture of the big screen, then the system hacked into Rod's computer and opened Rod's video file, "Very good, I have control of your image, it's time to improve the transparency, I need them, now, let's see, what kind of imitation can make the United States of America afraid." ”
The video opened, and Tony commented while watching, "I think, this is Beihan." "There was a very bloated one on the video, like a team of 'robots' made of broken barrels and pots, with machine guns in their hands and a large number of weapons on their backs, and before they could take two steps, one did not stand firmly, fell forward, and the machine gun in his hand instantly began to shoot, toot toot, and the people around him died. There was chaos in the venue in an instant, this is really cruel, the senator looked at the video and caused a panic, and hurriedly ordered the people in front of him to turn off the video, justin. Hammer couldn't sit still, and got up to find a way to turn off the video.
Stark changed a video, frowned and said, this is Yi Lang, the steel suit in the video seems to be more advanced, at least the early love is no longer so strange, very close to a person, I saw that the rocket thruster under this person's feet ignited, and the real person began to rise slowly, suddenly, the whole person suddenly fell from a classified high altitude, and then the pride was running around, like a balloon flying wildly, and the surrounding onlookers killed a lot.
The senator shouted, "Turn it off." The people at the back of the venue were all very concerned, standing up and jumping to look at the big screen. Stark changed the video again, "Whoa, isn't this Hammer?" Hammer. Stark said to Justin Hammer, who was looking for a plug, "Hammer, look, you're on TV, you're going to be famous." ”
I saw that Hammer in the video commanded a 'robot' in the back to move his body, raise his left leg, right leg, turn left, click, and click, only to see the robot that turned to the left suddenly turned a 180-degree turn, and then, a spark came out of his waist, crackling and exploding, Justin. Hammer was so frightened that he hurriedly fled, and at this time, Justin . . . Hammer finally found the screen plug and pulled it out at once, and the screen went black. Justin looked extremely ugly, sat back in his seat, then picked up the microphone and said, "I have to make it clear that the driver in the video is not dead. ”
Tony looked at the senator's ugly face, stood up, and smiled, "Wow, in my opinion, the gap between other countries is five to ten years, and it will take decades for them to surpass me in technology, and it will take at least twenty years for Hammer to build a steel suit." ”
The senator covered his eyes, rubbed it twice, then stood up and pointed at Stark and said, "I think his actions have proven his point, and there is no need for this meeting to continue." ”
Stark waved his hand and said to the senator, "I think you should thank me." The senator was full of doubts, "Why?" ”
"Because I can prevent the intimidation of nuclear war, I'm useful, Iron Man is useful." Speaking of which, he took a special look at Justin. Hammer, "We're safe, America is safe, you want my product, don't think about it, but I've done you a great favor." Stark turned around, faced the reporter's camera, and said proudly, "I succeeded in maintaining world peace alone." After saying that, he waved his arms and put on a wicked rabbit hand. Click, click, flash, reporters, to record this historic moment, a man who defends the planet.
"What do you think of me?" Stark shouted to the crowd, but his voice was still so small in the thunderous applause. Stark turned to look at the frustrated senators, pointed at them, and said, "I'm trying to work with these clowns." ”
The senator, who couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't keep his composure any longer, and opened his mouth to say, "you, Mr. Stark." The Senate members on the side were all stunned, Stark hehe, picked up his sunglasses, "Haha, the meeting is adjourned, this is the end of today's meeting." Senator, you're such a pistachio. ”
Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes looked at Stark helplessly and smiled, he is always like this, you can never imagine what he is thinking, what he will do in the next second, just like today.
Stark shook hands with the people around him and beckoned Pepper to leave with him, and as he left, Stark said to the camera, "Listen, I'm serving this country for the people, for my own pleasure, and if I prove anything to the world, believe me." With that, Stark took off his sunglasses and showed his sincere gaze.
