Chapter 42: The First Step
The reason why the military top brass did this was also that Tony's Stark Industries withdrew from the arms ranks and refused to share Iron Man weapons, and Hammer Industries was the best choice for the military top brass to replace Stark Industries, they needed a lot of war machines, Hammer just happened to be able to do this, and from his defeat of Iron Man, it was proved that Hammer was more useful to them than Iron Man.
Because Rhodes is Tony's loyal friend, he was also beaten into the cold palace by the high-level and relieved Rhodes of all substantive powers, if it weren't for the biometrics of this steel armor, the military would not be able to use it for the time being, and I believe that his suit would also be taken away by the high-level.
Now Rhodes can only numb himself with the word hard work, trying to optimize the armor over and over again, he feels that he is going to become Tony, and the knowledge of various mecha is now familiar.
"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, there's a man in a steel suit who wants to see you," a voice outside the door interrupted Rod's thoughts.
"Steel suits?"
"Yes, it's exactly the same as your set, nothing different except for the color"
Rod wondered, who else can use Iron Man's suit now? Could it be Miss Potts, it seems unlikely, so I can only take a look first to see what the other party is looking for him.
On the way to find Rhodes, Jarvis said that after Tony's death, in order to ensure that the suit was not privately owned by the military, with the authorization of Miss Potts, Rhodes's suit had been determined to be his exclusive use, and no one else could use it.
Soon, the motherland flew to Rod's position, and on the way Jarvis also said that Rod's situation in the army is not good, and now he is being targeted everywhere, just because he does not take the initiative to hand over the right to use the Iron Man suit, Rod actually has the right to change the user of the suit, and the military can't force Pepper, so he can only force Rod.
Hearing this, the motherland probably understands what's going on, the front is a military restricted area, although it is a small base that does not enter the stream, but the checkpoint is indispensable, and the motherland can't tear the face of the military now, so it's better to accept the inspection obediently.
As soon as I landed, I found that there were a lot of soldiers at the checkpoint, a small base that was basically unattended, and there were so many guards, which was very abnormal, and everyone looked very serious, and the people of the motherland felt that there was something wrong with things.
After landing, before he could speak, all the soldiers raised their guns and aimed at the motherland, and the motherland was afraid of scratching the original paint of the armor, so he withdrew directly, anyway, the bullet was a tickle for him, so Jarvis was on standby, and he stood in the inspection area with a defenseless look.
"Wow, what's going on so nervously, your sir? Can you explain? ”
"Stand still and don't move, raise your hands, it's better not to act rashly, otherwise we will fire, who are you, explain the intention"
"I'm here to find Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, and I'm good friends with him"
"Wait," a soldier said, and ran inside, reporting to an officer-like officer, who then grabbed the phone and asked.
But the Motherland heard their conversation clearly.
"Sir, another person came to Rhodes in an Iron Man suit" Hearing this, the motherland was very puzzled, what's the matter, he has someone else come before?
"Get him out of his suit, remove the defense mechanism, get checked, and then bring him under control and open fire if he dares to resist"
"Understood, sir"
The Motherland frowned, and things didn't seem to be going in the right direction.
"Hands up, get examined,"
"Soldier, if I heard me right, someone was looking for Rhodes just now, right? Can you tell me who he is?"
"No comment, raise your hands and lie on the ground, get down!!"
At this time, tens of thousands of Cao Nima are jumping in the hearts of the motherland, who is Lao Tzu? Motherland, it has always been me who calculates others, today it is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and he himself was calculated.
A laser slashed through everyone, and those hiding behind cover did not escape the fate of being cut in half.
"Jarvis, stay where you are, report me what's going on"
The Motherland pointed to the headphones on his ears.
"Received"
With a "boom", the figure of the motherland had already flown over the small military base and began to scan.
This is?
There was a mess in a warehouse inside the base, and there were many wounded soldiers, but there was no trace of Rhodes.
It seems that someone got ahead of the crowd and took Rhodes with him, and he used violent means.
Now that this place is not available, then you can only find the location of Rod's suit, and you need to find Roder as soon as possible, otherwise his life may be in danger.
There was a detail in the officer's conversation just now, it was strange that someone came in a suit before the Motherland came, and the suit should only be available to Stark Industries.
No, can Hammer Industries already be able to copy it?
The Motherland quickly flew back to Jarvis and got into the armor.
"Jarvis, help me locate the Rhodes jersey"
"Roger, sir, the Rhodes suit is moving at high speed, shall we go?"
"Boom" the motherland broke through the sound barrier and flew, he now has the protection of the suit, can easily break through the speed of sound several times, in the past when flying always have to control the speed, because the body is not protected, especially the ears, when breaking through the sound barrier, the powerful sonic boom will affect the motherland itself.
After a while, they approached the target, and the motherland could clearly scan the two targets, and the speed of the two was not fast, probably because they were both carrying things, one of the black bags carried by the mecha, which contained Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, the motherland did not rush directly, but quietly followed behind the other party.
"Jarvis, scan the opponent's armor to see if it's Stark Industries"
"Sir, the scan has been completed, and the two armors are very similar to the model that Mr. Stark wore when he died, it seems that they can already imitate it, but the Ark Reactor on the chest is still an old model."
"How did they come up with a copy of Tony's armor?"
"When Mr. Stark died, the military took away the suit for investigation, the reason was to investigate the cause of death, it seems that they have been eyeing Mr. Stark's armor for a long time"
"That's why they took the armor? What about Miss Potts, she didn't stop it? ”
"Sir, Miss Potts she has worked hard, please understand"
"I understand, but since the military took Tony's armor and copied it, why did they capture Rhodes?"
"I don't know why, sir"
After a while, a military base appeared ahead.
"Jarvis, where is this?"
"Sir, there is no mark here on the map, it should be a secret military base of the military,"
"Jarvis, next, you may need to hide in my magical space, because it's time for me to perform next."
The Motherland withdrew from the suit and put it into the magical space, and the voice of Jarvis in the headphones also disappeared, and it seemed that the signal could not leave the magical space.
The motherland used the ability of transparent people and slowly followed.
In a secret military base, two steel soldiers in battle suits walked into a warehouse without the slightest hesitation, and the soldiers around them were on guard.
"Sir, we brought back the man and the suit, and successfully completed the mission"
The two put down the "war machine" in their hands and the black handbag in their hands, and a soldier stepped forward and opened the black bag, which contained Rhodes.
"Well done"
