Tony didn't believe that the Motherland had any solution at all, because he had already tried all the elements known, he smiled and didn't take the Motherland's words seriously at all, he was already ready to die.

"Look what this is? The latest car. Harpy looked at the unhappy boss and pointed to the car that had been prepared on the side of the road to change the subject.

"Did she come with the car?" Tony asked, looking at the beautiful woman next to the car.

"I hope so."

"Hi, hello" Tony opened the car door and sat inside, the beauty didn't mean to leave yet, then there must be something.

"Hello, I'm Marshal Marsiel, nice to meet you, Tony"

"What are you doing here?"

"Tony, here's a subpoena, you have to appear at the Senate's Armed Services Commissar hearing at 9 a.m. tomorrow morning."

Harpy took the summons, he knew that the boss had a quirk and he wasn't used to being given something to him.

"Can I read the papers?" Tony asked.

The beauty smiled, then took out the police badge and shook it in her hand.

Tony angrily asked Harpy, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "How far is Washington here?" ”

"250 miles"

The next day, the conference hall in Washington, D.C., was already full of people, and many high-ranking political officials and military commanders were sitting in precarious positions, all of whom had come to attend the Senate Armed Services Committee hearings, but in such a serious place, there was still a discordant voice that kept talking.

"Come here, Pepper, sit here, the seat next to me is empty,"

"My seat is here, I can't go anywhere, stop talking, look ahead, don't look at me"

Pepper can't stand Tony's behavior of not caring about the occasion at all, such a serious occasion, only Tony can be so unscrupulous, there are only three seats in the front, Tony one, on the other side is sitting Hammer Industries, and one is empty, she knows that it is not her seat, but Tony keeps calling her over.

"Mr. Stark, can you continue the conversation?" On the rostrum, the councillor was already very impatient and talked to himself for a long time, but Tony ignored him at all, and flirted there by himself, he really couldn't help it.

"Mr. Stark, please pay attention,"

"What's the matter, dear," Tony teased the Councillor.

"Can you turn your head and listen?"

"Of course," Tony sat down.

"Do you have a special weapon? Mr. Stark"

"My device clearly doesn't fit this description. Mr. Parliamentarian"

"Oh, how do you describe it? Can you tell me about it? ”

"My description of him is his exact definition. Mr. Senator, my definition of it is a high-tech prosthetic".

The audience burst into laughter.

"It's a weapon, I repeat, Mr. Stark, I'm considering handing over the Iron Man weapon to the American people"

"Don't even think about it, I'm Iron Man, I and my suit are one, handing over the Iron Man suit is handing over my body, which is equivalent to selling my body or prostitution, it depends on which state you are in, I repeat, you don't want to get it."

"Listen like I'm not an expert on this, Stark"

"An expert in prostitution? Of course, you're a senator, don't pretend you don't know this? ”

"I'm not an arms expert, so we brought in a weapons expert, Justin Hammer, our current main weapons contractor"

Hammer stood up, picked up the microphone, and cleared his throat.

"I may not be an expert, but I know who the biggest expert is, your dad Howard Stark, who is the father of all of us and the father of the military industrial era, and we all know that he is not a hippie, but a lion. We all know what this hearing is for, and in the last six months, you Stark has created a sword with infinite possibilities, but insisted that it was a shield, and he told us to hide behind him, trust him, and I wish I was relieved to know, but this is not Canada, we live in a world full of major threats, and these threats Mr. Stark did not always anticipate smoothly. God bless us"

There was a round of applause from the audience, and many people advocated taking the initiative to the outside world, rather than being passively defensive.

"Well said, Mr. Hammer, that's right."

The councillors on the rostrum saw that the atmosphere was finally good.

"The committee has now invited Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes into the room."

"What? Rhodes is also here? Tony instantly understood who the empty seat next to him was for.

The media and reporters who entered the venue got up one after another, clicking, and the shutter sounded a large sound.

Tony turned his head and saw that it was his good friend Rhodes, and got up and walked towards him. He wondered what Rhodes was doing here?

"Hi buddy, I didn't expect to see you here."

"It's me, here. Let's go."

"I am"

"Come on, needless to say, let's go"

The councillor didn't give Rod and Tony time to catch up, and said directly.

"I have a complete Iron Man weapons report in front of me, compiled by Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes by the Senate Armed Services Committee, and I would now like to ask Lt. Col. Rhodes to read the fourth paragraph on page 57."

"Mr. Councillor, do you want me to read a passage from my report? I also thought I was going to testify in the most comprehensive, meticulous way possible"

"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, a lot has changed today. Please read it. ”

"Mr. Councillor, if I take this paragraph out of context and read only this paragraph, it will not reflect what my final summary is?"

"Just read that paragraph, hurry!"

"I see." Rod knew he had to read it.

"Iron Man poses a potential threat to the United States and its interests, but I also concluded afterwards that the benefits of Iron Man outweigh the disadvantages, and what is good for us, for example, is to have Iron Man join our existing chain of command,"

"Stop, that's enough, stop, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes" The Senate was a little angry, he didn't let Rhodes say anything else.

Tony understood that this was their use of their good friend Rhodes to use their power to achieve their own goals, and I Stark was not afraid of anyone, and then he said.

"I don't like teamwork at all, Mr. Senator, if you put it mildly, I can consider the Minister of Defense, and we may be able to discuss the working hours."

The audience burst into laughter, the only one who dared to engage in such a councillor was Tony Stark, and everyone else was very submissive when they saw the councillor, but Stark had never been a councillor today.

The councillor ignored Stark's words and said to Rhodes to himself.

"We'd also like to show you some of the images related to your report,"

"I think it's too early to show these images to the public." Rhodes knew it was live on TV, but the top brass clearly wanted to keep the pressure on Stark.

"With all due respect, please explain it to us, we will be grateful," the councillor continued, repeating that to play those.

The big screen on the wall of the conference room starts playing.

"These are the images we've collected of various nations trying to replicate this human-piloted mech, Mr. Stark's mech, and the intelligence is corroborated by our allies and local intelligence services, and the intelligence also shows that the suits are likely to be operational."

At some point, Tony pulled out a phone-like thing and began to operate it, when he clicked a few times on the screen that was playing, the screen that was playing the information suddenly lost control, leaving only a big "Welcome Mr. Stark" on the screen.

"Brother, I'm so powerful, I requisitioned your screen, I need them, it's time to make it public, let everyone know what this group of guys are talking about, please pay attention to the screen, this is North Korea,"

A large mecha on the screen was moving heavily, but the height seemed to be a little problematic, and it was knocked from above, and it fell heavily to the ground, and the weapons on its arms also fired indiscriminately uncontrollably, and there were casualties around it.

"Can someone turn it off? Quickly turn it off. The councillor didn't expect Stark to make such a move, and the panicked command was turned off, and he stood up and wished he could get off the rostrum now and unplug the machine.

Hammer couldn't sit still, got up and went to the big screen to unplug the power supply, because he knew that there were also mechanical experiments in his Hammer industry in these videos, unfortunately the experiment failed, he didn't want to be seen by everyone, but it was still a step too late, on the huge screen, Hammer appeared in the camera, introducing the latest experiment of the mecha, looking full of confidence, but the next moment, there was a problem with the mecha turning device, the driver was twisted, and a gasping sound sounded at the scene, Hammer was anxious, He just wanted these damn screens to turn off quickly.
