Chapter XXIII: The Farce of the Hearing

Washington.

"Mr. Stark, can we pick up on the conversation?"

However, Tony didn't hear it, and still turned his head to talk to Peppard.

"Mr. Stark, are you listening?" The man struck the gavel in dissatisfaction.

"What's the matter, dear?" When Tony heard his name, he immediately turned his head and said.

"Can you please turn your attention to me?"

I have to say that this man is really good-tempered.

"Of course."

"Do you have a special weapon?"

"I didn't." Tony flatly denied it.

"Don't you?"

"I don't, it's up to you how you define the word 'weapon.'"

"Iron Man weapons." That's humane.

"My device doesn't fit that description."

"And how would you describe him?" The man asked rhetorically.

"My description of him is the exact definition of it, Senator." Tony replied unceremoniously.

"What is it?"

"High-tech... Artificial limb? ”

As soon as Tony's words came out, the audience burst into laughter.

Tony continued: "That's what I think best fits the description. ”

"It's a weapon, Mr. Stark." At this time, another senator said.

"Please, if your limited considerations are true to the happiness of American citizens..."

The senator interrupted him, "My priority is to give the Iron Man weapon to the American people. ”

"Then don't think about it," Tony looked directly at the fat senator in front of him, "I'm Iron Man, and I'm one with my armor." ”

"To hand in the Iron Suit is to turn in myself."

"It's equivalent to... Selling yourself or something. ”

"You don't want to get it."

The senator said, "Listen, I'm not an expert..."

"In terms of selling yourself?"

"Don't interrupt me!" The senator shouted.

"I'm not a weapons expert, so we brought in a weapons expert," the senator said, looking into the distance, "I'm now subpoena Justin Hammer." ”

"We are now the main weapons contractor."

Tony looked up when he heard the name, and looked sideways.

A young man walked up behind the reporter and sat down not far from Tony.

"Although the records show Mr. Hammer walking into the room, I wonder if there will be a real weapons expert in attendance."

It's no wonder that Tony looks down on him, Hammer Industries, who has always been crushed by Stark Industries, only became the main weapons contractor in the United States after Tony announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons division.

Sounds more like a nice-to-have spare tire.

Justin Hammer just smiled when he heard this, picked up his glass and took a sip of water.

It wasn't until the senator picked up the gavel and asked the audience to be silent that he chuckled a few times and approached the microphone and said:

"Of course, I'm not an expert, I have to listen to you, Tony, you're the wonder boy."

"Senator, I want to say, I may not be an expert, but do I know who the real expert is?"

Justin Hammer pointed at Tony, "Your father, Howard Stark." ”

"He is the father of all of us here, and the father of the military industrial age."

Tony's face was very ugly.

"Let's be clear, he's not a hippie or anything, he's a lion."

"We are all clear about the reasons for this hearing."

"Over the past six months, Tony Stark has created a sword of infinite possibilities."

"But he insisted it was a shield."

"He told us to hide behind him and trust him, and I hope it reassures me, Tony."

"We live in a world of great coercion, and I don't think Mr. Tony always anticipates them."

"Thank you."

The audience burst into applause.

"Well said, Mr. Hammer." The senator applauded, "The committee will now invite Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes into the room." ”

This was Tony's old acquaintance, and Tony didn't believe he would let him hand over his armor.

Everyone looked behind them.

A black man in military uniform walked slowly, and Tony stood up to meet him.

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

"Admit it." Rod whispered to Tony.

However, despite what Rhodes said to Tony, he said in the report that the senators did not want to hear and that benefited Tony.

Later, Tony also used his own black technology to hack into the screen of the venue and humiliate Hammer fiercely.

The hearings were already chaotic.

Walking out of the venue, Tony suddenly felt refreshed, as if the toxins in his body had temporarily lost their effect at this moment.

Rhodes followed him out, "The senator will not let you go, and even use the army directly." ”

"Don't worry about my safety, there is someone around me who is more terrible than nuclear weapons during this time."

"What are you kidding, and then you can still call people?!" Rod felt ridiculous.

"It's not a good thing to speak ill of people behind your back, Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes."

A voice rang out in front of the two of them.

The person who came was Mo An.

"Are you...," Rod wondered.

"I'll introduce you," Tony walked over and put his arm around Moan, "this is Moan, you can call him Mo, or whatever... Mr. Saboteur? ”

"It's Doom Day." Mo An reminded in a whisper with a faint smile on his face.

"Aha, it's all pretty much the same." Tony smiled awkwardly.

"He's here to pick me up for something big, I can't let you know, Rod."

Tony leaned into Rod's ear and said, "All I can say is that he's horrible, and if the dear senators requisition you, don't mess with him." ”

After saying that, Tony smiled and hugged Rod and followed Moan into the car.

Watching the handsome sports car gallop away, Rod couldn't calm down for a long time.

On the way, Mo An smiled and asked, "What did you say bad things about me before leaving?" ”

Tony sat in the driver's seat and pretended to be heartbroken, "Hey, am I the kind of person I have in your heart?" ”

"It's too late for me to praise you for your might."

"The power of bullshit." Mo An rolled his eyes when he heard this, "I'll give you an address, and after you get there, just find a place to park, and I'll take you up." ”

Tony nodded after listening to Moan's address.

The car eventually stops in front of a nondescript building, and Tony and Moan get out of the car.

When I opened the door and walked in, there were at least ten pistols pointed at the two of them at one time.

Tony was a little nervous, after all, he wasn't wearing a steel suit right now, and he had to send it for two.

Instead, Mo An said lightly: "Take us to see Nick Fury, don't force me to do it." ”

At this time, Coulson walked through the crowd and came to the two, and said with a wry smile: "Why don't you notify me." ”

Mo An smiled: "There is a reason for it, but it didn't have time." ”

Coulson didn't expect Mo Anzhen to say why, he nodded, "Come with me, two of you." ”

Moan and Tony follow Coulson to the elevator.
