Chapter 274

2nd day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Tony Stark appeared on time at the government hearing attended by the military committee. He sat in the defendant's seat. Although it was the first time, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he kept looking left and right, greeted Zhou Yi who was sitting behind him, and winked at Pepper Poz on the other side.

Pepper gave Tony a grotesque glance and motioned to him to maintain a minimum order in court. But Tony didn't care about this at all. He went his own way, until the MPs who presided over the hearing could not bear it.

"Mr. Stark, can we proceed to the issue just now? Mr. Stark, please!" The councillor sitting on it knocked the gavel in his hand several times and even used it An unusually earnest request for vocabulary.

"Of course, my dear. Do you have any instructions?" Tony turned his head and made a serious look. And his tone immediately caused a chuckle in the serious court.

The congressman sitting in the judge's seat pretended not to hear these laughs and continued to speak seriously.

"Mr. Stark, can you answer my question obediently and honestly?"

"Of course, my dear. By the way, what is your question? !" Tony would naturally not be obediently and honestly just because of a single sentence, but he accepted it verbally.

No matter what his attitude is, the congressman can sit in this position and target Tony Stark, how could he not do some research on him in advance. So he ignored this frivolous, uncorrect attitude. Said to him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Stark, do you own a special high-tech weapon?"

"No!" Tony resolute and decisive on this question, but Mr. Senator But he yelled out immediately.

"You said no?"

"Yes, no!" Tony's expression was as earnest as praying. "I'm pretty sure. Of course, it depends on what you define as a weapon."

"Iron Man is a weapon, Mr. Stark!" Squinted his eyes and answered, Mr. Senator laughed. He didn't think that this established fact could be turned over by Tony's clever mouth.

Hearing this, Tony immediately made own's expression serious. He pulled the microphone in front of oneself and said solemnly.

"My invention is not a weapon!"

"Not a weapon?" Mr. Senator sat upright. "Then how do you define it? Mr. Stark?"

"What he is, Senator. If you want me to say it, it can only be regarded as a high-tech prosthetic!" Tony's words immediately drew a bigger laughter, but he still said seriously to Mr. Senator. "This is the best adjective I can think of, a technology prosthetic, yes. That's it!"

"This is ridiculous, Mr. Stark. It is a weapon, he is a weapon! "

Faced with Tony's rhetoric, the senator could no longer remain indifferent. He increased the volume to silence Tony's voice. And given the definition of his own.

"If you are the people's welfare first..."

Tony naturally can't tolerate the qualitative nature of own invention. He just wanted to compile the vocabulary. Come to refute this senator. But the senator has interrupted him.

"No, my priority is to hand over the Iron Man weapon to American people."

To quarrel with the senator, a profession that relies on lip service. It is clear. Tony, a guy who can only talk for a while, won't take much advantage.

But not being able to take advantage does not mean that he will submit, so immediately, he immediately stated his own opinion.

"Don’t even think about it. I’m Iron Man. I’m one with my Iron Man Armor. If you want me to hand it over, you just want me to hand over myself. So you don’t want to Think. If you force me to do this, I can understand that you are forcing me to perform labor or go to prostitution. This is definitely illegal. Of course, it depends on which state. But I think here. I can use legal means to protect my own interests. So, to sum up, Senator, I can’t give it to you."

Because of Tony's snarling, the scene suddenly seemed like a certain The hilarious talk show is as lively as it is. And in this atmosphere, even senators who are good at teasing have no room to continue. He could only pull up foreign aid to continue his own plan.

"Listen, I'm not an expert in this area. I don't know if what you are saying is true. Is Iron Man a weapon? I need a weapon expert to give us some advice. Now, I To summon Justin Hammer, the current main arms dealer of the Ministry of Defense."

Hearing this name, Tony immediately understood who was targeting oneself. The Ministry of National Defense must be one aspect, but it must be the Hanmer who instigated the Ministry of National Defense to have no shame. Only he will have this spirit to target oneself.

Be aware that in the past, when Stark was still the leader of the arms companies, Hammer Industries has been watching Stark Industries glare like a tiger watching his prey. However, at that time, the relationship between Stark and the Ministry of Defense was better than that of Hammer Industries, which also caused Hammer Industries to have no way to target Stark. But it's different now.

Stark Industries withdrew from the arms field, and this led to his remaining market share doomed to be divided by the remaining giants. But during this time, Osborn also got into own trouble. So Hammer Industries seized the opportunity to catch up. It has directly become the largest supplier of the Ministry of Defense.

However, even if it became the largest arms seller, Hammer Industries was still far from the original Stark Industries. The most important gap is in the cutting-edge weapons. Hammer Industries is a company that made its fortune with small and light individual weapons, and it was already inadequate in this regard. In addition, Stark Industries' Sect Master is a genius who can develop black technology, and naturally, the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

This kind of gap makes Hammer Industries not much favored. And Hammer Industries oneself also has this sense of crisis. He knew that if oneself wanted to be able to stand in the position of Boss, it must have a truly high-tech weapon with cross-age significance. So Tony's Iron Man battle clothes was naturally targeted by him.

This is a recognized cross-age weapon, and Stark has just switched from a military industry company to an energy company. This makes it lose its greatest political capital. If it does not take this opportunity to intimidate Stark Industries, then there will be no such opportunity in the future.

He talked about this idea with the people of the Ministry of Defense, and the two sides can be said to hit it off. The Department of Defense, which had been overwhelmed by the Battle of the Giants in New York, immediately regarded Hammer's proposal as a change in the image of the military and to reverse the current decline. At the same time, it is also the best way to fill in the massive vacuum zone that appeared after the Super Soldier project was frozen.

Owning Iron Man armaments means that they have countless Superheros. Both public opinion and the future direction of war are beginning to lean towards them. In the same way, Hammer Industries as a partner will also successfully take a big step and lay the foundation for oneself as a leading military industry enterprise. So, why should they not do this?

In the face of interests, no one can not offend. This naturally also includes Tony Stark.

Tony, who had guessed the entire process of development, became cautious. He realized that this did not seem to be a sudden action. And more like a long-planned conspiracy. Therefore, Tony, who couldn't let the situation be controlled like this, started to attack first.

"Please forgive me, gentlemen. I only saw Mr. Justin. Hammer come in, but did not see any so-called weapon experts. You mean him, you are cracking a joke. Everyone I know that Hanmer is just a businessman, not an expert. He can't even deal with bombing!"

The counterattack was so sharp that even the audience around him started talking. But the well-dressed, smiling Justin. Hanmer was not at all angry. He was just laughed and said into the microphone in front of oneself.

"Yes, I am not an expert. You are, Tony. You have always been a genius in this regard!"

His words just came out, not just Tony, even Zhou Yi couldn't help but wipe his face. It's not the first time that they have contacted Justin Hammer. They know what kind of guy this is.

This is a guy whose ability is a hundred times better than others. According to Tony, if half of his lip service is divided among the weapon developers of Hammer Industries. It is estimated that even he is not an opponent. This is an extreme guy who can only talk about it. Almost everything he said is it's empty and false. But that's it, he was welcomed by the Ministry of Defense. In this regard, arms dealers had a saying for a long time, that is, birds of a feather.

They look down on this guy's ability, but now. In this hearing that only relied on the mouth, they also had to admit that this guy was the most difficult to deal with.

Just like now, Justin Hammer honestly admitted Tony's identification of him. But immediately refuted this view.

"Compared with a genius like you, Tony. I really admit that I am not a weapon expert, indeed. The identity of a businessman is more suitable for me."

Stark is the dividing line, I am afraid that few people in the world can call it a weapon expert. So when he said that, the surrounding audience naturally admitted this point of view. Tony's genius, at this time became the opponent's weapon.

While resisting Tony's offensive was not enough, Hammer started his own counterattack. He stood up, walked to the center of the hearing, and said to all around.

"Senator, please allow me to speak. Maybe I am not an expert, but I know who is the real expert. Tony, your father. Howard Stark. It is not only our patriarch, You are also the father of our military industry. You are like him, you are all geniuses. At this point, you inherited your father, especially your talent in weapon development."

"We all know us Why are you here? Over the past six months, Tony Stark has built a sharp sword, but he himself insists that it is just a shield. He wants us to trust him and hide behind him because it will be safe . I wish I would feel safe. I really thought so at first. But after the New York monster ravaged and the huge biological incidents in Europe, I really can’t think about it. After all, when we think of him When he could protect us, he didn’t show up in front of us. And that’s enough."

"I didn’t mean to accuse Mr. Stark. After all, we live in a dangerous world, Mr. Stark does not necessarily have a way to predict the danger, nor may he be able to come over when the danger comes. So I can only wonder if there is another way to let Mr. Stark protect us. Hand over the toys in his hand, Give it to those who can protect us better. This may be the right one."

"That's it, everyone. The above is my personal opinion. God bless United States, God bless Iron Man! "
