Chapter 19: Hammer and Whiplash?
Agent Hitvel led Rhodes towards the conference room.
"Agent Hitwell, what's going on with Councillor Stern this time?"
Rod asked, a little confused.
"Colonel Rhodes, you'll find out right away."
Seeing that the conference room had arrived, Hitwell did not answer.
Entering the conference room, there are already a few people here.
Rod gave a military salute to Stern and Pierce and Nick Fury, and then stepped aside.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, the glory of the United States."
Seeing that there was Steve beside him, Rod took the lead in greeting.
"I'm honored too, Colonel Rhodes."
Steve responded with a smile, and when he saw Rod, he remembered the military brothers who had broken out of the Hydra base with him, and he unconsciously felt a little kind in his heart.
"Ahem, it's almost over, let's start putting it."
"Let's talk about Colonel Rhodes first, it's been a few days since the last mission, please get your hands on the steel suit as soon as possible."
Pierce was the first to attack Rode.
"Yes, sir, I'll do it as soon as I can."
Although Rhodes was embarrassed, he had promised after all, so he could only grit his teeth and respond.
"You don't have to be too embarrassed, although Stark is ruthless, he is still tolerant of his friends, and he will not embarrass you."
Nick Fury couldn't help but comfort when he saw Rod's embarrassment.
"Speaking of Superman, in order to target Superman, we decided to cooperate with Justin Hammer of Hammer Technology, Hammer said that he had developed the technology of a miniature reactor and made a remote-controlled battle armor that could compete with Superman, and I believe that this time we can deal with Superman with certainty."
Pierce once again made big news.
Micro reactors?
The others didn't react, and Nick Fury was stunned for a moment.
Although Tony's kid is not likeable, but the technology is really decades ahead of the world, to say that Hammer's level can be studied, he doesn't believe it.
But the parliamentarian has already said it, and it is certainly not a lie.
Then someone must have given them the technology, Nick Fury couldn't help but think of the whip lock with the reactor that Superman had killed, and his eyes were thoughtful.
"Great, Hammer did a good job, it looks like we don't have to look at someone's face......"
"Colonel Rhodes, you went over and told Stark that we didn't have to ask for his skills, he didn't give it, naturally someone had it."
"Didn't he still have his own technology that no one could research before, and now it seems that he is also talking big."
Stern knew that there was a big guy on his side, so he suddenly hardened a little, thinking of how angry he had been before, he looked at Rod a few times with some mockery.
Rod's face was a little unpleasant, Tony was also his friend no matter what he said, and they were so sarcastic, he felt a little resentful.
"Alright, Councillor Stern, now that it's decided, there's no need to continue."
Seeing Rod's bad face, Nick Fury stepped forward and interrupted Stern's taunt.
He's not just for Rod, it's mainly because now that Pierce and Stern are on the same page, it's hard for him to object.
It's better to start with Hammer, as long as it is clear that Hammer has a relationship with the whip, Stern and Pierce's proposal will naturally not be established.
Councillor Stern wanted to say something more when he heard this, but when he saw that Pierce shook his head at him, he immediately stopped responding and acquiesced to Nick Fury's proposal.
Seeing that the arena was quiet, Pierce coughed twice and said.
"It's not like Councilor Stern said, we still need the technology on Stark's side, Colonel Rod, you still try it as planned, it's okay if it doesn't work."
"As for Fury, you still continue to investigate Superman's affairs, and you don't have to meddle in Hammer's affairs."
Pierce saw that Hammer had shown value lately, and he deliberately wanted to win Hammer over.
Although Stark's skills are definitely better, it is as difficult as it is to win over such an unruly person.
Hammer is different, he is a pure businessman, who only cares about profits, and whoever can give him benefits, he will serve wholeheartedly, and such an easy-to-control person is what they like the most.
Therefore, Pierce is reluctant to let Nick Fury come into contact with him, and instead intends to secretly win over Hammer for their Hydra's use.
"Okay, Director Pierce, if nothing else, I'll leave first, and I'll take care of it as soon as possible on Tony's side."
Rod gave a military salute and turned to leave, still leaving with a sad face, as if he had thought of some bad scene.
"In that case, Director Pierce, I'll go first if there's nothing else to do."
"Steve, you're with me, I've got some things to take care of for you."
Seeing Pierce nodding, Nick Fury gestured to Steve, and then walked out first.
"Something?"
Steve was a little confused, but didn't say anything, gestured to Pierce and the others, turned around and followed Nick Fury away.
……
"Sir Fury, I don't know what you're looking for me?"
The two went out to find a remote place, and Steve asked with some confusion.
"There's a task for you, Rogers."
Nick Fury said unhurriedly.
He thought about it for a long time, and it was best for Rogers to investigate Hammer.
Although Hammer Tech is not as powerful as Stark, it is also a well-known chaebol, and ordinary agents can't do it if they want to investigate.
But the agents who have been a little more powerful lately have other things, and they are seriously understaffed.
Looking at it this way, a person like Steve, who has the strong physical fitness of a super soldier and a lot of combat experience, is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Okay, sir, is it Superman's mission?"
Steve was a little excited, thinking that Nick Fury was going to delegate himself to Superman's crimes.
"Superman?"
"Uh...... It's not like that. ”
The corners of Nick Fury's mouth twitched, good guy, you still want to find Superman, is this not enough to be beaten?
"What's that?"
Hearing this, Steve was a little disappointed, and he thought about going back to training hard, trying to get a shame and catch Superman.
"This mission is for you to investigate the whereabouts of the whip lock that Superman killed, focusing on the Hammer Tech side."
Hearing Nick Fury's mission, Steve's eyes narrowed.
"Sir, do you mean it's the whip from Hammer's side?"
Steve was a little incredulous.
"I think it's probably going to be a big deal."
Nick Fury nodded, his only eye full of seriousness, obviously not joking.
"Senator Stern and Director Pierce, don't they ...... too?"
Steve suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
Since Hammer has a problem, then Pierce and Stern, who just supported working with Hammer, will not have a problem.
Could it be that the government has been infiltrated, Steve can't imagine in his heart.
