Chapter 317 Miscalculation
Tony and Sean split up. The former went to the Mandarin's lair in Tennessee alone, while the latter planned to rush to Air Force One to prevent the president from being hijacked and prevent accidents.

Sean seemingly casually suggested that Tony tell S.H.I.E.L.D., but he seemed very wary and didn't trust Nick Fury.

Thinking of Stark who was determined to be a lone hero, the corner of Sean's mouth curled up slightly while sitting on the private jet, and he dialed Francis Underwood's private phone number. The Vice President had already Become a solid ally of Umbrella, the two sides have inseparable interests.

"Are you interested in talking about entering the White House, Mr. Vice President?" The young man threw out a chip that could not be refused.

Killian wants to cleanse the upper-level forces of this country, and then rely on the internal penetration of Hydra to ascend to a high position and take power. This is a good idea. One hand holds the most powerful leader in Western countries, and the other With one hand controlling the most feared terrorist organization, relying on Extremis, AIM will develop into a behemoth and a monopoly giant.

But in order to accomplish all of this, the president and the cabinet must be dealt with, and choosing to start on Air Force One is the perfect time. As for the vice president and Congress, they will naturally be handed over to Hydra.

It's a pity that Killian didn't expect that in this game, there would be a cheating player who was above the rules, so his plan was doomed to be nothing but a fantasy.

After talking with Vice President Underwood for about half an hour, the ambitious veteran politician readily accepted all the conditions.

No one would pass up the opportunity to sit in the White House and become one of the most powerful men in the United States.

In the complicated and dirty political game, there has always been only one rule, interests first.

"Let me once again express my heartfelt excitement and sincere thanks, Mr. Seapers."

Underwood, who was in the official residence, changed his name inadvertently. The founder of Umbrella was no longer a small person who needed shelter before. Strength.

Underwood, who has always paid attention to details, has gradually adapted to the changing status of the two parties. He is a mature politician without any dignity or face.

"What do I need to do?" the Vice President asked in a low voice.

Even in his city, he couldn't help being extremely excited at the thought of actually entering the White House, sitting in the Oval Office, and ascending to the pinnacle of power in this country.

"Stay at home and prepare a eulogy." Sean replied.

He exchanged some pleasantries, and then hung up the phone. According to Skynet's positioning, Colonel Rhodes' Iron Patriot arrived in Pakistan half an hour ago. Presumably, according to Killian's work efficiency, he should start that item " "Trojan horse" plan - obtained the Patriot uniform, used it to pretend to board Air Force One, and successfully hijacked the president.

Then Killian will use Mandarin's puppet status to publicly execute President Ellis in front of the whole world, creating a huge panic, and then Hydra will make its debut and stir up trouble.

"Bon voyage, Tony." Sean smiled slightly.

As Killian said, he will soon become the power behind the scenes of this country, and Umbrella's grand territory can begin to expand one after another.

…………

"I don't know if that guy Sean can handle it?"

With a stack of gadgets he invented, Tony sneaked into the lair of the Ten Rings Gang, which was defenseless. Thanks to Killian taking away a large number of people, the security force inside the manor was reduced by two-thirds, leaving only some fierce A strong mercenary.

With the help of small electromagnetic pulse weapons, electric shock gloves, and homemade grenades, even without steel armor, Tony still entered the manor smoothly.

"It would be great if Jarvis was here. I really should have filmed the scene just now to let everyone know that I actually have the potential to be an agent."

Tony praised himself without hesitation. He opened the door carefully, and the living room was in a mess, just like the scene after a carnival party. What came into view were wine bottles, pizza boxes, women's clothes scattered on the ground, And a stripper (tuo) lying on a table.

Unexpectedly, he overturned several security guards. Holding a pistol, Tony broke into the wide hall that was arranged like a studio. The screens were full of threatening videos of Mandarin, and the walls were painted with the Ten Rings gang. pattern, the table is full of imitation firearms.

Compared with the lair of a terrorist organization, this place is more like a movie shooting scene.

Tony, who sneaked deep into the bedroom, found the culprit who made America plunged into a tense atmosphere, a chattering old man.

The other party didn't have the gloomy and majestic terrifying aura in the video at all. This mandarin had a hippie smile, as if he was on drugs, and his words didn't match the beginning and the end of the sentence. He didn't look like the leader of a terrorist organization at all.

It looks like a third-rate comedian, which makes people feel ridiculous.

"Enough! You're not a Mandarin, where are you really?"

Tony pointed the gun at the old man. He couldn't believe that the man in front of him was the leader of the Ten Rings Gang. Although they all looked the same, their temperaments were too different.

If all of this is the other party's disguise, then Mandarin's acting skills are too good.

"He's here, but he's not here anymore. It's complicated... Wait, don't shoot! My name is Trevor Slattery. I'm not a bait or a stand-in. I'm just an actor." With an innocent expression, he directly confessed all the information he knew, "This is just a character, 'Mandarin' is not a real character."

"You know, as an actor, it's normal to be on drugs once in a while, and then when I'm out of my mind, I do something bad... They came to me and said they would give me more drugs, and other things s things……"

"Killian created you? He also planned the bomb attack?" Tony asked coldly.

He had guessed before that Killian might be the mastermind behind all the incidents, and he had only a cooperative relationship with the Mandarin and the Ten Rings Gang, but he never thought that in fact, this terrorist organization and its leader were all fictional. .

"He needed someone to take responsibility for these terrorist attacks, so he created an image of an evil leader ... Of course, it was mainly because of my wonderful performance that the character of Mandarin was fleshed out."

"Your performance? Killing is also one of the performances?"

Tony looked at the other party speechlessly. Thinking that this thing is a Mandarin, he felt ashamed. The evil leader he wanted to eliminate with all his heart turned out to be this kind of virtue.

"Look around, costumes, green screens, fake guns, I won't kill people, I'm just a dedicated actor." The old man opened a can of Coke.

"Where's Killian? And his super legion?" Tony asked the key question.

He originally thought that the Mandarin lair was the most dangerous place, so he asked Sean to rush to rescue the president, but it didn't seem to be the case, and Killian aimed at Air Force One.

"They are going to carry out the final plan." The old man rolled his eyes and replied crisply.

"Damn it!" Tony called Jarvis quickly, "It's time to activate the Iron Legion."
