Washington.

One open and one closed, two Senate Armed Services Committee hearings were in full swing.

Tony Stark, who has once again become a media darling, is participating in a public hearing, while Meng Ao is participating in another hearing from the homeland strategy.

……

“…… It's your ID card, it's the real thing. I couldn't get the identity card of the core researcher, and the Department of Applied Science and Technology was always firmly held in the palm of the hand by the father and son. I'm a shareholder, but I don't have much to do to help you......"

“…… But don't worry, someone inside will give you a hint. But I must warn you that these ID cards can only bring you in, and they are not absolutely safe and secure when you go in. Especially when you're moving, you'd better move quickly, there's not much time for you......"

“…… We have paid a lot this time, whether it is forcibly summoning Meng Ao to participate in the hearing, or supporting your stupid action at any cost......"

“…… Before Meng Ao returns, I hope that you will withdraw as much as possible, whether you succeed or not! Don't leave your hands behind! ……”

A middle-aged man with a bowler hat and a big belly said to a young man next to him in a Humvee with a large space.

"Rest assured, we will succeed. As long as the inside information you give us is credible. Harry Osborne ⊙ with a smile on his face, ww+w.: "As for the loss of you and your partner this time, we at Osborne Industries will compensate you in the future." ”

"That's the best!" The middle-aged man stared at Harry Osborne, puffing on a cigar, "I don't like Meng Ao, although he does have the ability." But he was even more domineering than Mendel. Old Storm doesn't meddle in the company's affairs, but that little guy is now starting to take over us! That little wolf cub! ”

"Anyway, I don't like him or I don't like him, but he makes me money! Let the stock in my hand appreciate! Although those stocks are not all mine. If it weren't for those people's pressure and promises, I wouldn't have helped you this time. ”

The middle-aged man's words were a little sloppy and messy, but the words were enough for Harry Osborne on the side to hear the dissatisfaction inside.

"No matter what happens, don't get into my trouble." The middle-aged man finally said.

……

A remote part of a roof corner within the Storm Enterprise.

"Listen, don't do anything superfluous, and don't go crazy when it counts! It's not a place we can just play. I've heard from the head of the company that since a previous egregious theft at Storm Enterprises, the security level in the core research room has increased by more than a few levels! ”

"We only have one chance! Before the other side reacts and discovers us, we must find what we need to find this time and retreat. ”

"Time is ticking!"

"Rhinoceros, before you act, you have to dress up your profession. You are a member of the internal logistics room, a department member who specializes in providing test materials and logistics support for the core practical room in the basement of Storm. ”

A middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap and Storm's backroom work clothes seriously reminded several people around him one by one.

"I've heard that the security guards at Storm Businesses are equipped with suits." The man named Rhinoceros, who was mentioned by the middle-aged man, touched his bare head and put his hat back on.

"Don't worry about that. Colony is not invincible. The middle-aged man said, "Don't forget what those people gave us." That thing works well as hole cards. ”

……

Senate Armed Services Committee, Suit Defense Plan Hearing.

Full of journalists.

Rows of generals and parliamentarians with medals pin to their seats looked out at the front desk.

"Stark? Stark? Senator Stern, who presided over the hearing on the stage, as the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, looked at Tony Stark, who turned around and talked to Pepper on the opposite corner, and shouted vigorously with helplessness on his face.

"In!" Tony Stark took his eyes off Pepper Pepper Pepper Popes and turned to meet Councilman Stern's gaze with a cynical expression.

"Listen to me!" Councillor Stern put his hands on the stage, a smile on his face, and asked Tony Stark, "Do you have a special weapon in your hand?" ”

"No, I don't." Tony shook his head dryly.

"Didn't you?"

"If a special weapon means 'suit', it's up to you how you define it." Tony put his arm on the table and leaned closer to the microphone, "Iron Man suit? It's not appropriate to say that. Although I like this name, it inevitably makes people think that I am stinky and beautiful. What's more, it doesn't fit in with my definition of a suit. ”

"How do you describe it?" Councillor Stern leaned forward in his seat as if he had grasped Tony's sore foot, repeating solemnly with a sense of aggression: "A factual description!" ”

"I have the answer." Tony said.

"How?" Councillor Stern was in hot pursuit.

"High-tech prosthetics." Tony shrugged, a low laugh behind him. Councillor Stern on the stage looked as if he had been punched, and his face was extremely dark. "This is the most accurate definition that I, as a maker, can give."

"You're lying to Mr. Stark!" Councillor Stern shouted, "That's the weapon!" Everybody knows! ”

"If you insist on that, I can also say that kitchen knives and baseball bats are also weapons! In fact, kitchen knives are used to chop vegetables, while baseballs are used to play balls, and their purpose is not to cut people and hit people. ”

Tony said, "The suit you put in your mouth is a high-tech prosthetic leg in my eyes. Whether you admit it or not, as the maker of it, I think so. ”

"You're kidding yourself, Mr. Stark." Stern retorted, leaning sideways in his seat, one hand on his waist.

"I don't think there's anything to argue about on this issue. If you really put the interests of the American people first, my priority now ......"

"It's to give the Iron Man suit to the people." Councillor Stern interrupted Tony and spoke in an oppressive tone.

"Then you must be dreaming." Tony's face tensed.

"I don't have a lot of research on weapons, but we have weapons experts present." Councillor Stern said, straightening his tie and hooking his hand to signal what he called the weapons expert to play: "I'm going to subpoena Justin Hammer." We are currently the general contractor of arms. ”

The well-dressed Justin Hammer got up from his seat in the back and walked down the aisle to the front of the stage and took a seat on Tony Stark's right.

"Scribe, please, I saw Justin Han silently walking up to the stage, not knowing when the real weapons expert will appear." Tony said sarcastically. Although Hammer is not as incompetent as he sarcastically suggests, and Hammer Military Industry is also a giant that can compete with Stark Industries in terms of capital, but who cares?

Peers are enemies!

Stark has the technology.

Hammer has a background.

Tony looks down on this kind of background.

[ps: I originally wanted to have two more yesterday and today, after all, the recommendation and collection have risen well in the past two days, but the nose always has a runny nose, and the eyes are also sour and tearful, and the screen is blurry. I looked in the mirror, and my nose was red, it seemed to be a cold? 】
