Chapter 123 Tony's Performance Moment ([-])
"I'm sorry, don't even think about it. I am Iron Man. I am integrated with the Iron Man. To hand over Iron Man is to hand over myself. That is considered labor or prostitution. It depends on which state you are in. I cannot give you."

Tony said seriously that he would never hand over the steel suit, this is his insistence.

"Well, I'm not an expert..."

Senator Stern needs foreign aid, and he can't speak for Tony.

"Prostitution expert? Of course you're not, you're a senator."

Tony ridiculed Senator Stern and kept Senator Stern's position down, so that he could reduce Senator Stern's influence from another level.

"I'm not a weapons expert, but we have invited a weapons expert. I want to summon Justin Hammer, the current major arms dealer of the Ministry of Defense."

Senator Stern ignored Tony's teasing. He knew that if he responded to Tony's teasing, he would be taken away by Tony and deviated from his direction, so he directly asked his witness, Justin Hammer.

Justin Hammer is the chairman of Hammer Industries and one of the main competitors of Stark Industries before, but since Stark Industries announced the closure of the weapons department, Hammer Industries has become the most important arms dealer of the Ministry of Defense One, this time Senator Stern brought Justin Hammer in, it seems to let the profession deal with the profession.

"Please note that I saw Mr. Hammer come in, and I don't think I saw any weapons specialists."

Tony wouldn't agree that Justin Hammer was a weapon expert. He was just a businessman, a capitalist, and he didn't deserve to be called an expert at all.

When the people below heard what Tony said, they also talked a lot. They were awakened by Tony. This person is just the boss of the arms company and cannot be called an expert. Senator Stern found that the scene was a little out of control, and immediately tapped his Gavel, let the scene Su quiet down.

"Oh, yes, I am not an expert, you are, Tony, you are a genius, Senator, please speak, maybe I am not an expert, but you know who is a real expert, your father, Howard S. Tucker, he is not only our patriarch, but also the father of the military industry, but please understand, he is not a flower seller, he is a lion, we all know why we are here today, during this time , Tony Stark forged a sharp sword, he insisted it was just a shield, it wanted us to trust him, to hide behind him, I wish I felt safe, I really wished, I really wish I didn't have to lock the door when I go out, but this is not Canada, we live in a world full of dangers, Mr. Stark may not be able to foresee all the dangers, thank you, God bless Iron Man, God bless America."

Hammer is worthy of being an excellent businessman. The eloquence that confuses people makes people follow his rhythm, making people feel that they are in danger and need a more powerful weapon to protect themselves, and that weapon It's Tony's Iron Suit.

Justin Hammer's speech made Senator Stern take the lead in applauding, and some applause was also remembered at the scene. Although there were not many applause, it had already changed the situation where Tony dominated here.

"That's right, Mr. Hammer."

Senator Stern said appreciatively.

"Now we invite Colonel James Lord to attend the meeting."

The next witness invited by Senator Stern surprised Tony a little, and everyone at the scene was equally surprised, because as we all know, Colonel Rhodes is a good friend of Tony, how can he stand on the other side's position now, everyone turned their heads Looking at the door, Colonel Rhodes in military uniform entered the venue.

"Hey buddy, didn't expect you to come back."

Tony stood up to welcome Rhodes, but his eyes showed puzzlement. He didn't understand why his good friend appeared here.

"Yes, it's me, I'm here, accept the fact, let's move on."

Rhodes said that he didn't know what expression to use to face Tony. Wang Kai was also watching Rhodes from the audience. In the movie, Rhodes was directly replaced, so what would happen in the real world? Wang Kai obviously found that Rhodes had lost a lot of weight and became stronger, which can be regarded as some changes.

"OK, I just, just..."

"do not talk."

"Okay, I won't say it."

Tony and Rhodes spoke briefly in the aisle, and the two of them took their seats separately.

"This is the complete report on Iron Man's weapons collected by Colonel Rhodes. Colonel, please read the fourth paragraph on page 57."

Senator Stern looked at the report in his hand and said to Rhodes.

"You want me to read specific passages from the report, Congressman?"

Of course, Rhodes knew what he wrote in the report, and he also knew what Senator Stern asked him to read, but if that paragraph was taken out alone, it would be very detrimental to Tony's testimony, and it seemed to be taken out of context.

"Yes."

Senator Stern said proudly that being able to get Tony's good friend to testify is more convincing than anything else.

"I thought I was here to give a full and detailed report."

Rhodes was very upset, because the notice given to him before was not like this, otherwise he would not have attended this hearing.

"I understand, but there are a lot of variables today."

Senator Stern excused himself.

"If you can read it, just reading that paragraph does not represent my complete report."

Rhodes expressed his dissatisfaction, but also explained the situation.

"Please read it, Colonel, I understand what you mean, thank you."

Senator Stern didn't want Rhodes to continue his defense, otherwise it would be very disadvantageous.

"Okay then, 'Since Iron Man is not part of any government agency, Iron Man is a potential security risk to the country and the national interest', but my conclusion is that Iron Man is far more good than bad, and It is in our interest...to have Mr. Stark in the military chain of command, Senator."

Rhodes read his report and made some excuses at the same time, but Senator Stern didn't seem to want him to continue talking.

"Enough, Colonel, I say enough."

Senator Stern tried his best to interrupt Colonel Rhodes.

"I don't like being part of any system, but I could consider being defense minister and I could work fewer hours."

Tony also understood that Rhodes was used by Senator Stern and used out of context methods to slander himself. A detailed report would naturally list both advantages and disadvantages, so what's the use of only reading about the disadvantages.
