Mei Man Sword Fairy

Chapter 145 Interpretation and Compromise

"Can't sell!"

"Tony, this is an order."

"This is mine!"

The Stark Building in New York is now the temporary residence of the Federal Weapons Support Department. The top few floors are Tony Stark's private area, and he alone controls everything here, whether it is research or testing.

But the current situation obviously has some surprises.

There was some squabbling between Tony Stark, and his close friend, Air Force Colonel James Lord.

The reason was a resolution regarding the sale of the TS-01 system.

This photocopy document had already been torn into pieces by Tony and scattered all over the place.

Rhodes withdrew his gaze from the shredded paper, and said kindly: "Tony, you signed the agreement, and the Ministry of Defense has the right to decide."

"So, based on the results of this analysis, you decided to cut off contact with the Phoenix Group and set up the Federal Weapons Support Department?"

"First, the mutants became independent. They announced without warning that the state of Maine would secede from the Federation. But before that, the mutants had no obvious influence in Maine. Then, overnight, the buildings of the Phoenix Group, together with the foundation Disappeared from New York together and appeared off the coast of Maine."

Tony frowned and thought for a few seconds, then said, "That unlucky ghost who was killed by Ling Ling?"

"Okay, do you want to explain?" He turned around and took out a stack of heavy documents from the bag he was carrying and slammed them on the bar. "This is the explanation I gave you! Open it!"

Tony didn't say a word, just looked at him indifferently.

Tony shouted loudly, and Jarvis responded quickly.

Rhodes continued: "Pay attention to his words, war! He regards this as a war between mutants and humans!"

"You should know that a fleet suddenly appeared under the name of the Phoenix Legion, and it was a complete aircraft carrier fleet. Can you believe this is true? They just changed their livery, clothes and flags, and everything else followed them The way they have always behaved, and they have occupied three islands and a coast in the Gulf of Maine, and now those four places have basically become official bases."

An hour later, Rhodes left Stark Tower with his briefcase.

He suddenly felt very tired.

Tony said calmly: "Continue with your explanation."

Rhodes shook his head: "No, Tony, calm down first, no one will take away your things, you have complete intellectual property rights and profit sharing, this is actually a good thing..."

Tony looked at a line on the document and read: ""This scene is really not exciting at all. Since you all think this is a war, why don't you kill it? "

He is Tony's friend, yes, but he is also a soldier, and he is a commanding officer among the soldiers. He must always stand firm, and at the same time take into account the thoughts of the soldiers.

"The red flag has been planted on our border!"

Rhodes opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Now, our homeland is directly facing a huge threat. We need to share this time-transcending weapon with our allies, but you can rest assured that the Federation will definitely hold absolute control. Only under the premise of us as the leader Only by building a military network that radiates around the world can we truly guarantee our national security!"

The two faced each other silently.

"Ha, that's why you asked me to be the minister, to help you research weapons, and if you succeed, you can steal my things for yourself?"

"Tony, if there is no TS-01 system, I think some people in Congress may take more extreme measures. At that time, not only the Federation, but the entire human race will pay an unbearable price for it. Now I use the status of a friend and You speak, please believe me, they will definitely do that." Rhodes showed a look of good intentions at this time.

"You know what happened in Cuba. Now, it's happening again. It's just that this time we don't have the ability to counter it head-on. We can only win over more allies."

Tony watched him leave from the top floor, and then he turned and looked at the world map projected in the air and let out a sigh.

"It's him! Teslak's death is definitely related to Ling Ling, at least it is closely related to the blue-skinned mutant next to him. Having said so much, you should have thought that these two elites of the Federation against mutants successively Death, and being connected with him, we have to suspect that everything the mutants do is actually under his control."

A drizzle suddenly fell outside the window, the sun was covered by dark clouds, and the sky suddenly dimmed.

Jarvis silently turned on the light.

After a long silence, a smile burst out on Rhode's face without warning.

"Okay, Tony, I admit that there is something wrong with what I said just now, but we are all members of the Federation, and we all hope that this country will continue to be great. I am a soldier, and this is my job. Although you are not a soldier, you are willing to Joining a brand new department for the safety of the Commonwealth, we are the same people."

"Do you think the Ministry of Defense is only for the benefit of the arms sales?"

The corner of Tony's mouth twitched and said, "Wait, the Teslak you're talking about is the one whose head was hung on the gate of his company?"

Tony thought for a while, didn't say any more, just said: "You continue."

"When the White House fell, he briefly appeared on live footage across the country, killing a federal employee in front of everyone, and then he only said one thing, but we You don't need to analyze it to know that he is on the side of the mutants."

Tony snorted, "This is the problem. They have dealt with mutants a long time ago, and they should have realized this, but they didn't stop. Why?"

"Jarvis!"

"That's right, it's him. There was another scientist before. His name was Bolivar Teslak. They were in charge of researching ways to fight mutants, and they were very effective."

Tony picked up the document and flipped through it, while Rhodes continued his explanation.

After a while, he said, "Jarvis, send a letter of resignation to the Ministry of National Defense, and ask the people from the Weapons Support Department in the building to withdraw as soon as possible, refuse any incoming calls, and don't allow anyone to go upstairs."

"The TS-01 system has perfectly passed various tests day and night, and all existing weapons, including electromagnetic interference, will not affect its operation. This is a truly epoch-making achievement. We are still the world's number one power. Anyone can take away this great honor!"

Rhodes nodded, and continued: "His words let everyone understand one thing, mutants and humans... the conflicts between the federations are irreconcilable, the war has come, but the most frustrating thing is that we have not Any chance of winning, the mutant nicknamed Magneto, he can easily control our bullets, artillery shells and even nuclear bombs, and can easily dismantle your armor. If war really breaks out, then our former president will become the first A president killed on live TV, and then we're still going to lose."

Hearing this, Rhode's face suddenly became ugly.

"That's right, that's the sentence."

There was a smile on his face.

"Colonel Stryker." Rhodes suddenly said a name.

A few seconds later, Jarvis said: "Sir, Colonel Rhodes is right. The Ministry of National Defense does have the right to decide whether the research results of the Weapons Support Department can be sold to the outside world. At present, their decision has been announced to the public and they have begun to accept orders. .”

"Rhode, you know, the reason why I am willing to cooperate with those people who once coveted my armor is entirely for the safety of the Federation. I don't want to care about your relationship with the Phoenix Group. The reason why the mutants matter Every one of you is responsible for getting where we are today! Now, I, Tony Stark, are paying for your mistakes!"

"Rod, I need an explanation, otherwise I can guarantee that none of you will be able to successfully activate any TS-01 system."

Tony continued: "I never expected that they would be grateful to me, but I definitely did not expect that they would be ready to seize power before the establishment of the department!"

"This! That's my explanation!"

Rhodes complexion darkened a few degrees.

Hearing this, Rhodes sighed heavily.

"The weapons and equipment of the Phoenix Group are indeed good, but if its actual controller intends to target the Federation, then if it continues to cooperate, it will be irresponsible to all Federation citizens. The establishment of the Federal Weapons Support Department is very necessary, and you Almost single-handedly accomplished our original goal, Tony, you are our hero!"

"Enough is enough, I don't think it's good, if I really cared about money, I wouldn't have shut down the company's weapons department before!"

With a bang, Tony slammed the wine glass down on the table, and the wine splashed a lot.

Hearing this, Tony suddenly realized.

Tony suddenly sneered when he heard the words, "Rhod, you should also pay attention to your own words, it is a war between mutants and the Federation, not all human beings, why don't mutants split those countries on other continents? If you don’t, you’d better save it and talk to your soldiers!”

Rhodes said solemnly: "The reason why we decided to sell the TS-01 system is not only to protect the rights and interests of allies, but also for the safety of the Federation."

Tony finally hesitated.

Rhodeben should have been unhappy when he interrupted, but Tony's words also made him blush secretly, but his face was too dark to be seen.

"You are wrong!"

Rhodes nodded.

Tony's face turned cold instantly.

He leaned on the bar with both hands, leaned forward with his upper body, and his eyes suddenly became extremely oppressive.

Tony looked at the stack of satellite images in front of him. The four places drawn with red dotted lines changed rapidly. By the time of the last image, houses, docks, battleships, and airstrips had all been formed.

The last sentence, Rhodes said loudly.

"Yes sir, including Miss Pepper?"

"...She can call, but don't let her come up, just tell her I fell asleep drunk."

Jarvis hesitated for a moment. Since he could make a phone call, why did he say he was asleep?It's just that after seeing Tony's dejected appearance, the intelligent program judged that it still didn't have the heart to continue asking.

At the same time, Ling Ling was watching TV at home while stroking the cat, the rocking chair under him was shaking slightly, Zou Wu on his lap closed his eyes and rested, sticking out his pink tongue to lick Ling Ling's fingers from time to time, feeling very comfortable.
