My way of beauty

In Washington, D.C., which is 380 kilometers away from New York and takes about an hour to fly by plane, the Senate Armed Services Committee's hearing on the uniform defense plan is currently being held.People from all walks of life gathered together, and of course, this scene would not be without the hordes of media.

"Mr. Stark, do you have any special weapons?" On the stage, a smiling Stern was asking the CEO of Stark Industries, who was also the chairman of the Military Committee.

In the audience, Tony Stark looked energetic and said, "I didn't."

"do not have it?"

"That depends on how you define a suit."

"Iron Man suit."

"It's inappropriate to say that."

"Then what's the right description?"

"A matter-of-fact description."

"How to say?"

"High-tech prosthetics."

Tony Stark's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from everyone present.

"That's, that's the most accurate definition I can give."

"This is the weapon, Mr. Stark."

"Please, if you really put the interests of the American people first, my top priority right now..."

"It's about giving the Iron Man suit to the American people."

"Go ahead and dream!" Tony knew that this was some kind of temptation, and once he showed a flaw, the other party would pounce on him like a bloodthirsty shark, kill him completely, and eat him.

So he will never show weakness, "I am Iron Man, and the suit is with me. Handing over the suit is equivalent to handing over myself. How is this different from enslaving good people or forcing good people into prostitution?"

Tony's metaphor immediately made everyone present smile.

"Don't count on it."

"I don't know much about this."

"Forcing girls into prostitution? Of course you are not good at it. You are a senator."

Tony's sarcasm immediately aroused laughter again. He couldn't help but wave his hands behind him proudly, smiling like a child, while Pepper Pepper, who was sitting not far behind him, stared at him with a serious face.

Tony stopped laughing immediately, curled his lips, coughed dryly, and turned away.

"I don't know much about weapons, but we have weapons experts here. I think the summons replaced Stark Industries and Osborn Industries, defeating Exploration Aerospace, which is our current general contractor for munitions, Hammer Industries CEO Officer, Justin Hammer."

Tony immediately sat up straight. Stark Industries, the original four major suppliers to the U.S. military, decided not to sell weapons anymore. Osborn Industries had been rejected by the military because of the Green Goblin incident, causing the stock price to plummet. , later he supported Jing's funds, and Jing acquired it, and decided to start transforming into the development of bio-augmentation technology and explore aerospace. Currently, Tony is dealing with them and trying to acquire him.Therefore, among the four major suppliers, Hammer Industries, which was originally the weakest, is now regarded by the military as one of its pillars.

A well-dressed middle-aged man wearing glasses and a silver-gray suit walked in.

"Please note, clerk, I saw Hammer walk into the hearing,

Tony's voice sounded, "I'm curious when a real weapons expert will show up." "

Hammer smiled slightly. He sat on the chair in the same row as Tony. He took a glass of water from the table to moisten his throat. Hammer picked up the phone and said, "Of course I'm not an expert. I'm different from you, Anthony. You are a magical boy." Justin Hammer called Tony affectionately in a sweet voice, which made Tony tremble.

"Senator, please allow me to speak. Maybe I'm not an expert, but you know who is?"

Justin Hammer stood up and faced everyone, "Your father, Howard Stark, was a respectable elder who helped defeat the Nazis and participated in the atomic bomb plan. Many people regarded him as Although he is regarded as a hero, of course some people think that he is trying to enrich the country. But there is no doubt that he is the predecessor of all of us and the father of modern military industry."

Justin Hammer has been talking about Tony's father, and there are many words of praise and admiration in it. Tony can't say anything and can only listen quietly.

But then Hammer changed his voice, "But everyone, look at his son, Tony Stark. He is not a peacemaker. Everyone knows that he has a nickname, the Merchant of Death. And the reason for our hearing this time , everyone knows it. In the past period of time, he created a secret weapon, but insisted that it was for peace and defense. He made us, who were trembling, believe his words."

Justin Hammer said a lot more, but in Tony's opinion it was all nonsense, but what happened next was a bit beyond his expectation.

"Lieutenant Colonel James Roddy is hereby summoned to attend a hearing."

Tony couldn't help but his eyes widened, "Rody? How could that be?"

A black officer walked in with firm steps. He was Tony's good friend, Lieutenant Colonel Roddy.

"Man, to be honest, this was really unexpected."

"That's right, it's me. Just accept the reality."

Next, Senator Stern took the quote out of context and asked Lieutenant Colonel Roddy to read out part of the information he had collected, a partial report on the weaponization of Iron Man.

"Senator Stern, are you asking me to read my own report? And it's part of the designation. You have to know that this needs to be contextualized to fully reflect the true meaning of what I said, and it was not drawn by me. Final conclusion." Lieutenant Colonel Rody looked very embarrassed.

Senator Stern smiled slightly and looked very proud, "No, Lieutenant Colonel, how to understand it is our business, you just need to read it out."

Having said all that, Roddy had no choice but to give in. He was a soldier first, and Tony's friend secondly, the country, and orders from superiors were greater than personal feelings.

"Okay." Roddy picked up the information in his hand, "Given that he does not serve in any government agency, Iron Man is a potential threat. He not only endangers national security, but also threatens national interests. But then, I came to the conclusion , the existence of Iron Man has more advantages than disadvantages, and for our own benefit, we should..."

"That's enough, Lieutenant Colonel." Senator Stern interrupted Roddy rudely, and at the same time he was a little dissatisfied. The following words were not what he asked the other party to say.

Tony couldn't stand listening anymore. He also knew Roddy's dilemma, "Senator Stern, I don't have much ability, but if you plead, Senator, I am willing to serve as Secretary of Defense."
