Chapter Seventy-Seven: Hammer's Farce

Two days passed in a flash, and it was time for the scheduled launch event of Hammer Industries.

Justin Hammer stepped on the saxophone dance and walked to the front of the stage with a rather dragging dance step. A silver-gray suit, paired with the striped tie at his neckline, always made him incompatible with the image of the boss of the arms company.

The applause from the audience was clearly a little inflated by the young CEO, who had always aimed to surpass Stark Industries, or that he had always aimed to surpass Tony Stark.

"That's right, everyone is welcome." Justin came to his podium, propped his hands on the podium and said in a tone that didn't sound so sincere, "Ladies and gentlemen, our country has long allowed brave soldiers to risk their battles, and then we have Iron Man, and we thought we would not lose any more lives. But he refuses to disclose advanced technology, and even collaborates with his new girlfriend on a so-called Insight Agency. It's not fair, it's also wrong, and it's a shame. But it's still a great invention that makes headlines around the world. ”

Pepper in the audience raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, and now Tony and Diana didn't see anyone else, although there might be something in the Hammer Industries press conference. But it was a matter of the Iron Suit and the Ark Reactor, and it couldn't just be used by Hammer.

Pepper called Tony directly, "Tony, where are you now?" ”

Pepper is obviously a little anxious, and the main goal of Justin Hammer's press conference today is to target Tony's Iron Man suit.

"Don't rush, Pepper. Let Justin be happy for a while, and he won't be able to laugh for a while. Tony's voice was still full of that frivolity, and he didn't take Hammer's to heart at all. A fool who wears a suit becomes a funny idiot.

"What about Diana? There's no sign of her now, huh? "Pepper really doesn't want to be alone at Hammer Industries' press conference to withstand Hammer's attacks.

"Our heroine will find someone now, and she will be back soon." Tony sat at home talking to Pepper on the phone, with a brand new steel suit beside him.

"Well, I want you to come over quickly, whoever you are. I really don't want to look at Justin's face anymore, at least someone to talk to me, okay? Pepper's grumbling voice passed through the earpiece and into Tony's ears.

"No problem." Tony hung up the phone with that, and across from him was a guy in an American Air Force uniform.

James Rhodes was a little cramped, and before Pepper called, the two men were already talking about something that kept him back on his mind for half a day.

"You don't have a fever, do you? Or maybe that thing in your chest didn't affect your brain, right? Rod couldn't understand why Tony called himself over, and then pointed to a steel suit and said to him, "Now it's yours." ”

That's right, Rhodes also has a steel suit next to him, but the Mark 3 has not been painted at all, and the golden appearance is really not a problem if he doesn't want to attract attention.

"I've thought about it a lot, Rod. If it hadn't been for Diana's reminder to get my dad's stuff, I might have been on a path of self-destruction by now. "Tony knows better than anyone else what stupid things he's going to do when he's dying, and that's when the Insight needs people most.

"So what the hell do you mean." Rod still hasn't figured out Tony's brain circuit, does it have anything to do with the steel suit he gave him?

Tony put his hand on his temple and said, "We need people, Rod." Insight needs people, and you're one of those people I can think of right now. ”

"Me? Join the Insight? Rod pointed to his chest, "Tony, do you see what's here?" ”

Tony glanced at what Rhodes was pointing at, "Your 'sweetheart', isn't it?" ”

"No, Tony, this is the American Air Force badge, okay? You're asking me to take off this uniform and join that private institution of yours? Rod retorted to what Tony said that was unbelievable.

"Do you really think that in the future world, the so-called modern army will be able to protect anyone?" Tony waved his hand, "What was the use of the American army when Diana and that Stallone demolished the Senate and the Washington Monument?" ”

Rhodes suddenly lost his ability to speak, and the battle between the two men in Washington completely shattered all of Rhodes' imagination. That's not the guy that modern armies can resist, really, those two guys show everyone why they can be called gods.

"I can also show you a video." Tony clapped his hands, and what was originally just a clear glass window turned into a giant screen.

Naturally, it was Diana, but this time the environment was Sokovia before.

"Wow!" Rhodes looked at the tank, which was obviously a medium and heavy tank, and it was easily lifted away, or even lifted and thrown out. While watching the video, Rod unconsciously stood up and carefully observed the video.

"Luckily, my private jet wasn't affected at the time, and I was able to see the video." Tony got up from the couch and walked over to Rod's side, "What if I told you that Diana could resist a nuclear explosion?" ”

Rod was completely stunned by Tony's series of messages: "Will our future enemies be such guys?" ”

Tony shrugged: "Who knows?" It may be weaker than Diana, it may be stronger than her, this is something that no one knows. ”

Rodmore rubbed his chin, and finally his eyes steadied, "Remember to leave me a room at your base." ”

After he finished speaking, he left Tony's house without even bringing his suit.

Tony didn't care, after all, his purpose was achieved. The current Insight is no longer the organization of three people held up before, but has become four people.

Back in time when Pepper and Tony were on the phone, the Hammer Industries press conference was at its climax.

"Come on, let's see what I can come up with to replace the so-called Iron Man." Justin clapped his hands, and several staff members walked up to the stage and pushed Justin's podium down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will see the most perfect thing in the world! Today I would like to introduce to you, the new face of the American military! Justin opened his arms and said passionately to everyone in the audience, "Hammer Industries' Iron Soldiers!" ”

Behind him slowly rose four lifting platforms carrying tall and strong steel soldiers.

"This is much better than cheerleaders with LED lights!" Justin waved his arms excitedly, as if he had seen the super large order of the U.S. Department of Defense waving at him, and the green dollars were flying towards his pocket.

All the people in the audience applauded wildly after Justin showed off his so-called Iron Soldier, among which the American military elders were the most excited. As long as the price of this thing is not too outrageous, the military will bear it.

I don't know what Anthony will think when he sees this, after all, these can perfectly replace his so-called: Iron Man. Isn't it? Justin put his hand above his eyes and made a gesture to look around, "I'm sure I invited that Iron Man and his little girlfriend, but all I see now is a Stark Industries assistant." ”

"Hey! He can't be scared, right? Don't you dare to show up? Isn't his little girlfriend quite strong? ”

Pepper really can't understand Justin on stage, can anyone really be so stupid that he can still take his own company and become an arms company under Stark Industries?

"Things look pretty good."

As Justin was going wild, a female voice came from behind him.

Diana, dressed in a Wonder Woman suit, appeared on the display stand, her chin propped up and scrutinizing the Iron Soldiers of Hammer Industries. I have to say that in this kind of place, the light shines on Diana, adding a little bit to her original divinity. But the premise is that you can ignore the stout man with tattoos at Diana's feet.

"Hey, hey, little girl, this isn't the place for you to come." Justin said to Diana with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Diana ignored Justin's words and reached out and tapped lightly on the outer armor of the Iron Soldier of Hammer Industries.

"The armor may not be too good." Diana pinched the protrusion of the outer armor with two fingers, and with a slight tear, the outer protective armor in that place had been removed by her.

All this was seen by everyone in the audience.

"Boom"

A loud roar rang out over Hammer Industries' press conference, and a golden and red shadow of steel landed on Hammer's display stand.

When he appeared, the cheers from the audience were incessant, as if their voices were indestructible.

"What does this kind of thing guarantee? Is it a moving target on the battlefield? Tony had already scanned the so-called Iron Soldiers the moment he landed on the display, and the seemingly thick outer armor was actually completely unable to withstand the power of large-caliber firearms. It will only be ruthlessly torn to shreds.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Justin had no idea that the first thing these two men did when they came to power was to come to power and devalue his 151.7 million steel soldiers.

"Oh, it's kind of interesting in the chest, but it's too low." Tony easily removed the reactor from the Iron Soldier's chest, "But let's be honest, where did you get this pirated and inferior stuff?" ”

"From here." Before Justin could answer Tony's question, Diana had already picked up. The stout man at his feet was dragged to Tony's side.

"Jarvis, look it up." Tony had no impression of this man at all, having never met him at any of the scientific seminars.

"Sir, you should be familiar with his father, Anton Vanke, who built the Ark reactor with your father." Jarvis's voice reached Tony.

"The one who was later expelled, was it?" Tony looked down at the big man on the ground, "I really didn't expect that guy to have such a big son, and it's obvious that this guy's friends are not stabilizers." ”

"Stark's history is about thieves and robbers." Yin Fan Vanke, who is covered in tattoos, has been hammered by Diana when he was brought by Diana before, so he can't stand up until now.

Tony ignored this guy's words, and just said to Diana: "Can you start a little lighter next time, this guy's spine bone has been completely broken, and there is no way for a clever neurosurgeon to deal with it." ”

Diana gave Tony a blank look.

Tony had no choice but to stop paying attention to it.

Vanke was lying on the ground and suddenly spoke: "You will lose, you will not win." ”

Before Tony could react, he noticed that the steel soldiers around him suddenly moved, and their target was naturally himself.

Diana, who was on the sidelines, was obviously not counted by Vanke, and he wanted to take revenge on Tony, but he chose the wrong way.

Tony didn't care what that Vanke guy was doing right now, but it was clearly not a good place to fight. There were so many people at this launch that any problem would be a disaster.

"It seems that your press conference is a bit like a farce." Tony even had the leisure to joke about Justin Hammer at this time.

Justin was already frightened by the sudden scene, and crawled to the bottom of the stage.

At this time, a large number of special forces with live guns and ammunition suddenly poured in from around the venue, and high-power sonic weapons were even built around them, directly facing the people on the stage.

"It seems to have been calculated." Tony said to Diana rather relaxedly.

"A fool and a politician with a bad mind are really a perfect match." Diana calmly looked at everything around her, "These guys seem to have coped with this kind of situation. ”

The surrounding troops are obviously highly vigilant against these two people, and are always ready to carry out extreme force suppression against the two people. There is even a surplus of people in the process of evacuation, perhaps there is something that people can't know.

When these people faced this kind of thing, there was no major mistake at all.

"Someone must have put this guy in on purpose." Tony glanced at Yin Fan Vanke, who was lying on the ground, and said, "For the sake of the Ark Reactor, and for the sake of killing me?" What's in it for them to kill me? ”

Diana shook her head: "They don't want to kill you, you're a rich man in America." What they wanted was me, and I've always wondered where they got that courage? ”

"Perhaps, that thing?" Tony looked at the few large men that were slowly emerging behind the men.

Much like the big green guy you have in your base, these new things are a lap smaller than the Hulk, but it's clear that they're the ones that are easier to control.

It's not at all out of control like Hulk and Abomination.

I have to say that this kind of scene is really a bit of a sense of déjà vu to encircle the supervillains.

It's just that this time, Diana herself has become the target of encirclement.

There are also many trumpet Hulks among the encirclement personnel.
