Tony Stark showed up on time for a government hearing before the Armed Services Commission.He was sitting on the defendant's seat. Although it was the first time, he didn't panic at all.Instead, he kept looking left and right, greeting Zhou Yi who was sitting behind him, and winking at Pepe Poz on the other side.

Pepe quickly gave Tony a reproachful look, signaling him to maintain a minimum rule in court.But Tony didn't care about this at all. He went his own way until the congressmen who presided over the hearing couldn't stand it anymore.

"Mr. Stark, can we proceed with the topic just now? Mr. Stark, please!" The congressman sitting on it knocked the gavel in his hand several times in a row, and even used extremely earnest words of request .

"Of course, my dear. Do you have any instructions?" Tony turned his head, making a serious face.And his tone immediately caused a chuckle in the serious courtroom.

The congressman sitting on the judge's seat pretended not to hear the laughter, and continued to speak seriously.

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

"Of course, my dear. By the way, what's the question you're asking!" Naturally, Tony wouldn't be honest just because of a word, but he agreed verbally.

Regardless of his attitude, 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, unprofessional attitude.He said to him with a smile on his face all the time.

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

"No!" Toni answered this question decisively, but Mr. Senator immediately shouted out loudly.

"You said no?"

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

"Iron Man is the weapon, Mr. Stark!" Replying with squinted eyes, Mr. Congressman laughed.He didn't think this kind of established fact could be turned over by Tony's clever mouth.

Hearing this, Tony immediately made his expression serious.He pulled the microphone in front of him and said solemnly.

"My invention is not a weapon!"

"Not a weapon?" Mr. Senator sat up straight. "And how do you define it, Mr. Stark?"

"He is 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 attracted even bigger laughter, but he still looked at the Senator with a serious expression said Mr. "That's the best adjective I can think of, a technological prosthetic, yes. That's it!"

"It's ridiculous, Mister Stark. It's a weapon, and he's a weapon!"

Facing Tony's rhetoric, the senator could no longer remain indifferent.He turned up the volume, drowning out Tony's voice.And gave his own definition.

"If you prioritize the well-being of the people"

Tony naturally couldn't tolerate his invention being characterized like this. He just thought of making up words to refute the senator.But the senator had already cut him off.

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

It's obvious to argue with a senator, a career that relies entirely on lip service.A guy like Tony who can only talk for a while can't take advantage of it.

But not being able to take advantage of it doesn't mean he will give in, so immediately, he immediately stated his opinion righteously.

"Don't even think about it. I am Iron Man. I am one with my steel armor. Ask me to hand it over, ask me to hand over myself. So don't even think about it. If you make me do this Yes, I can understand that you are trying to force me to do labor or prostitution. This is definitely illegal. Of course it depends on which state it is in. But I think I can use legal means here To protect your own interests. So, in summary, Senator, I can’t give it to you.”

Being pestered by Tony so nonsense, the scene suddenly seemed to be as lively as some hilarious talk show.And in this atmosphere, even the senator who is good at playing tricks has no room to continue talking.He could only pull in foreign aid to continue his plan.

"Listen, I'm not an expert on this. I don't know if what you're saying is true. I need an opinion from a weapons expert on whether Iron Man is a weapon. Now, I'm subpoenaing Justin Hammer, Defense The Ministry's current major arms dealer."

Hearing this name, Tony immediately understood who was targeting him.The Ministry of Defense is definitely on the one hand, but it must be this shameless Hammer who instigates the Ministry of Defense.Only he will have this spirit to target himself.

You must know that in the past, when Stark was still the leader of the arms company, Hammer Industries had been eyeing Stark Industries.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 the fact that the market share he left was destined to be divided by the remaining giants.But at exactly this time, Osborne was also in trouble of his own.So Hammer Industries seized the opportunity and caught up.It has directly become the largest supplier of the Ministry of Defense.

However, even after becoming the largest arms seller, Hammer Industries still has a certain gap with the original Stark Industries.The most important gap is in cutting-edge weapons.Hanmer Industries is a company that made its fortune from light and small individual weapons, and it was originally deficient in this area.Coupled with the fact that the head of Stark Enterprise is a genius who can develop black technology, naturally the gap between them is getting wider and wider.

This gap has made Hanmer Industries not very optimistic.And Hanmer Industry itself also has this sense of crisis.He knew that if he wanted to stand firm as the boss, he had to have a truly high-tech weapon with cross-epoch significance.So Tony's Iron Man suit was naturally targeted by him.

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

When he shared this idea with the Ministry of National Defense, the two sides hit it off.The Ministry of Defense, which had been overwhelmed by the Battle of the New York Giants, immediately regarded Hammer's proposal as changing the image of the military and reversing the current decline.At the same time, it is also the best way to fill the large vacuum that has been created after the super soldier project was frozen.

Having Iron Man armed means that they have countless superheroes.Whether it is public opinion or the direction of future wars, they are beginning to lean towards them.In the same way, Hanmer Industries, as a partner, will also successfully take a big step to lay the foundation of its own leading military enterprise.So why should they not?

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

Tony, who had guessed the cause and effect, became cautious, and he found that this did not seem like a sudden action.It's more like a long-planned conspiracy.Therefore, Tony, who couldn't let the situation be controlled like this, started to attack first.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I only saw Mr. Justin Hammer coming in, not any so-called weapons expert. You mean him, are you kidding me. Everyone knows that Hammer is just a businessman, not a What an expert. He might not even be able to dismantle a bomb!"

The sharp counterattack even caused the surrounding audience to discuss it.But Justin Hammer, who was well-dressed and smiling, did not become angry from embarrassment.He just smiled and spoke into the microphone in front of him.

"Yeah, I'm not an expert. You are, Tony. You've always been a genius at this!"

As soon as he spoke, not only Tony, but even Zhou Yi couldn't help wiping his face.This isn't the first time they've had contact with Justin Hammer.They know exactly what kind of guy this is.

This is a guy whose verbal ability is a hundred times better than other abilities.According to Tony, if half of his lip service is allocated to the weapon developers of Hammer Industries.It is estimated that even he is not an opponent.This is a guy who can only talk to the extreme.Almost everything he said was empty and false.But just like that, he was welcomed by the Ministry of Defense.In this regard, the arms dealers have long had a saying that they are like-minded.

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

Just like now, Justin Hammer candidly admits Tony's identification with him.But this point of view was immediately refuted.

"Compared to 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."

If Tony Stark is used as the dividing line, I am afraid that few people in the world can be called weapons experts.So when he said that, it was natural for the audience around him to acknowledge the point.Tony's genius became the opponent's weapon at this time.

But resisting Tony's offensive was not enough, Hammer began to launch his own counterattack.He stood up, walked to the center of the hearing, and said to the surroundings.

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

"We all know what we are here for. For the past six months, Tony Stark has forged a sharp sword, but he himself insists that it is only a shield. He wants us to trust him and hide behind him. because it would be safe. I wish I would feel safe, I really did at first. But after the monsters in New York and the huge creature events in Europe, I really can't. .After all, he didn't show up for us when we thought he could protect us. And that's enough."

"I don't mean to accuse Mr. Stark. After all, we live in a world full of dangers. Mr. Stark may not have a way to predict danger, and he may not be able to rush over when danger comes. So I I can only wonder if there is another way to let Mr. Stark protect us. Hand over the toy in his hand and give it to those who can better protect us. Maybe this is the right thing to do."

"That's it, folks. The above is my personal opinion. God bless America and God bless Iron Man!"

Chapter 273 Combination Routine Final Counterattack

The situation is not right, the situation is very wrong.After Justin Hammer's speech, Tony had this bad feeling.His speech has put Tony into a disadvantageous position.Because in his description, Tony has completely become such a character.

Sitting on the most cutting-edge technology that can protect people's lives and property safety, but only want to enjoy its benefits and all the honors.I don't even want to hand it over to the hands of the country to maximize its value.And even if the lives and properties of the people have been threatened, he is unwilling to compromise with the government.

From the people's point of view, Tony's behavior is already a very selfish behavior.From Tony's point of view, Justin Hammer is the most thorough moral kidnapping.He put him on the opposite side of the people.Although not everyone will support his point of view, but it is certain that there will definitely be many people who will believe his point of view.

Tony just wanted to say something more to restore the current decline, but it was obvious.Her opponent didn't want to give him any respite.So before he could speak, the senator sitting on the judge's seat followed Justin Hammer's offensive and launched their combined punches.

"Well said, Mr. Hammer. Let us now invite Colonel James Rodney to the meeting."

"Roddy?" Hearing this name, Tony turned around in disbelief, and then he immediately saw Roddy walking in with an ugly expression on his face.

Not only did he see Roddy, many people also saw the American soldier who walked in.They also started discussing almost immediately, because most of the people present knew the relationship between Roddy and Tony as friends, so at this time a somewhat strange idea began to creep into their minds.Is Stark going to betray his relatives?

This is definitely not a good phenomenon for Tony, but it is definitely a phenomenon that the people in the Ministry of Defense are willing to see.The senator even had a smile on his face, and even began to speak impatiently.
