Chapter 37: The Turning Point Has Arrived

Above the aircraft carrier of S.H.I.E.L.D., several figures on the screen were watching the broadcast intently, it was a one-sided battle, four warriors in steel armor were besieging a monster with the characteristics of spiders, toads, and silkworms, indestructible armor, all kinds of advanced equipment, and endless strength, in just a few rounds, the four ironclad warriors cooperated to tear apart the monster that didn't seem weak.

The short-haired, heroic Hill stood in front of the screen and was explaining, she pointed her finger at the monster, "The target is the genetic monster that appeared in New York City a few days ago, the specific source is unknown, but it brought great damage to New York City in just a few minutes, half a block was destroyed, we call it Monster One, this is a monster that combines the characteristics of spiders, toads, and silkworms, and can also spray fire and frost, and its body contains highly poisonous, According to our estimates, the strength of Monster One is still above the Spider-Man who disappeared before, and it is not inferior to any superhero outside. But as such a formidable enemy, Monster One itself is not famous, not even an official name, because it was wiped out by Osborne and Stark Industries, who implemented new weapons in an hour. ”

The pointer pointed to the four Iron Warriors, and Hill continued: "These warriors are wearing the latest steel suits developed by Stark Industries, the prototype of which is Iron Man's armament, with the latest nuclear fusion energy as the driving force, with the neural chip as the hub, with a variety of simple weapons and equipment powerful, we initially expect that the combat power of this Iron Warrior can reach seventy percent of Iron Man, and most importantly - this kind of warrior can be mass-produced." ”

Took a deep breath. Looking at the top figures in the United States in front of him, Hill slowly spoke: "As far as I know, this kind of armor has produced nearly two hundred model machines in Stark Industries. If we can provide a commensurate amount of fighters and nuclear fuel, it will be a decisive force that can turn the tide of the war at hand. ”

"Really?" Hearing this news, several high-ranking officials were stunned, and then whispered, if they could, they didn't want to drop nuclear weapons on their own land, it would definitely be a big stain on their political career. And according to Hill, as long as they can provide enough manpower, they can get the help of nearly two hundred Iron Man. Even if they only have seventy percent of their combat power, it will be enough to keep the Zetarians in New York, allowing them to slowly find a way to close the portal, no matter which way you look at it. This is definitely a better note than dropping an atomic bomb.

But after all, he is a veteran of the political struggle. These people didn't trust others lightly, but one of them asked, "Ms. Hill, are there any hidden dangers in this kind of armor, or are there any restrictions?" ”

Hill silently raised three fingers, "At present, there are three shortcomings, the first is expensive, and the core drive energy of these nearly two hundred battle armors has not yet been installed. The cost of each unit has reached 100 million US dollars, and if the purchase of nuclear fuel and the manufacture of power units are added. The cost of one could soar to $200 million; Second, due to the simplification of many electronic drive systems to carry weapons, these armors are extremely burdensome to the human body, and it is almost impossible to maintain long-term combat ability without injecting Osben's physique enhancers, and due to the obstruction of the previous bill, physique enhancers have not been used in the army; Finally, after the development is completed, although these armors have also been tested in actual combat, after all, it has not been for a long time, and there is no guarantee that there will be no other accidents. ”

"Is that so?" The people on the other side fell silent, looked at each other, but made a decision, if Hill said that there was no problem at all, they would not believe it, they would be suspicious, but Hill pointed out the shortcomings, and it was not an insurmountable shortcoming, which made them excited.

Costly? It's just $200 million, and the US defense budget is more than $500 billion a year, and if this kind of equipment can be popularized, it will be much cheaper than building aircraft carriers, and maybe it will be able to reduce defense spending!

Blocked motion? Under the conditions of this kind of war, the president can pass the mandatory bill, and the physique enhancer is not adopted, to put it bluntly, it is only because of the distrust of the identity of the inventor mutant, and now that the aliens have called, who still has the matter of air control mutants, and as far as they know, it is a question of whether the mutants will survive after a while, which is not a problem at all now.

As for the last point, they won't care about it anymore, anyway, it was not their group of politicians who died in an accident, but the group of soldiers, and if the atomic bomb was dropped according to the original plan, it would be theirs who would be the one who carried the blame, in this case, there is no need to think carefully, they all know each other's choices.

I saw one of them slowly speak: "Then Ms. Hill, if we provide enough manpower, how long will it take for these fighters to arrive at the scene?" ”

Hill lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally said affirmatively: "One hour is enough, from the nearest military port, it only takes fifteen minutes to arrive in New York, the injection of physique enhancers can be completed in half an hour, and the driving core of the two hundred steel suits has been completed, and only nuclear fuel needs to be injected into it to be put into use, and the fuel required for the steel suits is not much, and the two hundred units together are only about the same amount as one atomic bomb, if a few people authorize it, We can disassemble the nuclear weapons on board the aircraft carrier in half an hour, take out the fuel and send it to Stark Industries. - Of course, if Mr. Tony and Mr. Mo Wen are willing to develop their warehouses and provide us with armor and constitution enhancers. ”

"An hour?" The sight of several high-ranking officials was lowered into the battlefield over New York, and although the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable, it was no problem to support it for an hour.

"Okay, Miss Hill, you have convinced us, we will send three hundred soldiers from the First Air Force over, and we can also authorize you to dismantle the nuclear weapons on the carrier, but you must ensure that these soldiers can be on the battlefield within an hour, - Fury's job of persuading Tony and that Mo Wen is up to you, and we must let them support our operation, whether or not we can defend the United States is here, we must not fail!"

"I see!" Gently turning off the projection in front of him, Fury breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Hill with some confusion, "Hill, this time thanks to you, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened, but when did you come up with this idea, why haven't I seen the information about this suit before?" ”

At this time, Hill was unusually silent, her expression was a little stiff, listening to Fury's question, she said lightly: "The information was shown to me by Mo Wen before leaving, he and Johnny have long planned to use this equipment, but they have never had the right opportunity, you also know that Mo Wen's identity as a mutant is too sensitive, and many times it is not a good way to be adopted, not to be cornered, those politicians will not use anything related to mutants!" ”

"Don't you hear it?"

Listening to this name, Fury's expression was extremely complicated, his right-hand man Hawkeye died in the hands of Mo Wen, although he couldn't blame the other party all, but he still couldn't let go, and he also knew that he was afraid of Mo Wen above, not long ago he handed over that thing to Natasha with his own hands, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, I'm afraid that the mutant 'Mo Wen' will no longer exist.

"Forget it, let's do our best!" Fury sighed and said no more.

He didn't doubt the source of Hill's news, after all, it was an indisputable fact that Mo Wen had been pestering Hill for a while, and many people saw Hill being asked out by him alone, presumably at that time.

The most hero, Mo Wen is undoubtedly outstanding, but he wants to watch this hero being destroyed, Fury can't tell the discomfort in his heart, but he looks a little dazed, but he doesn't notice the faint red light in Hill's eyes, and the strange expression-

A punch over New York knocked the Zetarians into the air, and Iron Man frowned as he listened to the call, "You're going to use the armor I developed?" But that thing still has a lot of shortcomings, and the neural control chip is very easy under high temperature control - forget it! ”

Dodging a few laser rays, Tony looked at the Zetari army that was pouring out of the portal in the sky, and finally could only grit his teeth and say: "You must add money to Lao Tzu in the future, this time I will sell it to you at cost price, let those bastards come up, I don't have much energy here!" ”

At the same time, Mo Wen, who heard the same request, agreed without hesitation, and looked at the automatic device not far away, and he showed a triumphant smile. (To be continued......)
