Chapter 60 The first stab at the heart: Your father is a thief!
Washington, Capitol.
The Armed Services Committee under the Senate holds dozens of hearings every year, sometimes more than a dozen times a month. It is not considered news, and it is not even a hot search.
This time is different. Since the Military Commission announced three days ago that it would hold a hearing on the nature of the Iron Man suit, it immediately occupied the top of the list of hot searches on the Internet.
Superheroes have their own traffic. Especially after the "White House Showdown Incident" half a month ago, both American officials and the public have a sense of crisis about their own safety.
The top leaders of the United States are eager to increase their own strength. On the one hand, they want to expand the father-in-law's team. They also want to obtain Tony Stark's armor manufacturing technology.
To practice the "Evil Sword Technique", you need to cut a knife, but no man of status is willing to do so. However, Tony Stark's armor is a technological creation and can be widely used.
At that time, the military can organize armor troops, and wealthy consortium executives can also make their own, further improving their own protective power.
Tony Stark was also a playboy before. His ability to be Iron Man depends entirely on his armor. Why can’t I do it now that I have the armor?
Due to Lin Hao's intrusion, Tony Stark faced greater pressure this time than in the original work.
"Mr. Stark, shall we continue the topic we just discussed?" The congressman on the stage was banging the gavel.
"Okay." Tony Stark, with a relaxed expression on his face, turned back and approached the microphone: "No problem."
"Do you have a special weapon?" Hydra Councilman Stern dug a hole when he came up.
"I used to own a lot of weapons, but now the whole world knows that I shut down the weapons manufacturing department of Stark Industries." Tony Stark turned his head and faced the reporter's camera seriously: "Wall Street investors The one who has the most say.”
If Tony Stark can also collect resentment, the investors in front of the TV will definitely contribute a lot.
"The steel armor is a weapon." Stern emphasized loudly: "The latest weapon you made!"
"No, that's not a weapon. That's a..." Tony Stark seemed to be thinking. After a moment, he replied seriously: "Yes, high-tech prosthetics!"
A burst of laughter broke out in the venue.
"The Iron Armor is a powerful weapon. I hope you hand it over for the sake of the people of America..."
"Don't even think about it!" Tony Stark said directly Interrupting Stern: "Iron Man is me, and the armor and I are one. Handing over the Iron Armor means handing over myself."
"This is considered labor or prostitution, depending on which state it is in."
The whole audience burst into laughter again.
Faced with the sharp-tongued Tony Stark, Stern had to clear out his technical advisor Justin Hammer.
Seeing the guy in a suit and glasses walking over, Tony Stark sarcastically said: "You actually walked on two feet today? Where is your collar? Didn't the master take you for a walk?"
Justin Hammer's clone completely ignored these sarcasm. He did not make any boasts, walked directly to Tony Stark, and said very calmly: "You know what? You got off to a very bad start! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and the assistant immediately put the prepared information on the screen.
"The competitors of the United States have been inspired by you and are working hard to develop the same type of armor, setting off a new round of arms race. Do you want to sit back and watch the United States fall behind in this competition?"
This is a fishing trip, just to force the rhetoric out of Tony Stark.
Faced with questioning, Tony Stark operated on his mobile phone, allowing Jarvis to control the computer at the venue.
Soon, blurry satellite photos were replaced by videos.
A series of weird-looking armors staged various ridiculous accidents, including experiments conducted by Justin Hammer before he "volunteered" to become a fire unicorn.
“As you can see, it will take most countries five to ten years to produce usable armor, and Hammer Industries will take at least twenty years!”
Stet En was annoyed, relying on the support behind him: "America is facing a threat, and now the country needs you to hand it over. Do you want the people of the United States to count on you to protect it alone?"
"Yes, I can maintain world peace by myself!" Tony Stark said boldly. Suddenly a bold reporter shouted: "Can you beat Dongfang Bubai?"
Tony Stark was suddenly at a loss for words, but immediately responded firmly: "Of course, as long as you give me a little more time, my armor will be even more powerful!"
As long as we find a stronger material and create one that can limit The opponent's high-speed energy weapons can withstand mental impacts, and are equipped with powerful weapons...
Although there are many problems, as long as he is given time, Tony Stark believes that he can find a solution with his clever mind.
What he lacks most now is time.
The hearing ended unhappily. Although the consortium behind the scenes wanted to obtain Tony Stark's armor, they did not want to set a precedent for the federal government to expropriate the personal property of capitalists for the sake of national justice.
After all, you can use your justice to force Tony Stark today, and you can use your justice to force other capitalists tomorrow.
Just when the reporters thought that today's show was over and needed to go back to write articles, a motorcade suddenly drove up in front of the Capitol.
They came from the Federal Supreme Court in the east.
Every car has a national flag on the front of the car, the national flag of Mao.
The motorcade stopped just in front of the Capitol, stopping the reporters and Tony Stark who were about to leave.
The door of the vehicle in the middle opened, and a few people got out. The reporter's sharp eyes recognized Chekov, the Maoist envoy among them.
“The big one is coming!”
The experienced and intuitive old reporter immediately rushed to seize a good position. The young reporter saw this and quickly followed.
Sure enough, Chekov stood in front of reporters and made a stern announcement.
"Just now, my country's important enterprise Vanke Industry submitted a patent infringement lawsuit against your country's Stark Industries to the U.S. Supreme Court."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The cameras at the scene flashed wildly, and all reporters moved their recording equipment as close as possible.
Tony Stark stopped and turned around to look here. The reporters were very considerate and made way for a passage so that his eyes could be directed towards Chekov and others without any hindrance.
“my country and the United States of America are both members of the Paris Convention and should be bound by the Convention. However, Stark Industries has blatantly infringed on the legal patent rights enjoyed by my country Vanke Industry on the Ark reactor.”
“This is a blasphemy against international justice!”
"Vanke Industry has filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of your country in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Paris Convention. Our government will use all means to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of its own enterprises!"
Chekov solemnly declared, conveying the message to Mao's country will.
After expressing his stance, Chekov took a step back and made way for Ivan Vanko, a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes next to him.
Ten years ago, Lin Hao proposed to Zheng Xian that the director personally come forward to retrieve Ivan Vanke from Damao Prison and return him to the Divine Spear Bureau.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Ivan Vanke has long since learned how to dress up as successful people, and he can no longer look like the gangster in the original novel.
Facing the camera, Ivan Vanke's words were shocking.
“Howard Stark is a liar who deceives the world!”
“He stole the research results of my father Anton Vanke, took the Ark reactor as his own, and shamelessly announced This is your own achievement!"
"Fuck Squid!"
Tony Stark glared, strode over, and shouted: "You know you will publicly slander my father. At what cost? ”
