Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

The enmity inherited from the parents is sometimes worn away by time and disappears naturally with the departure of the person concerned; but sometimes it is inherited by the younger generation and lasts for a longer period of time.

Judging from Ivan Vanke's performance, he belongs to the latter category.

Because this kind of entanglement has a long history, it also means that as long as the person concerned is willing, he has enough time to instill hatred in the younger generation.Over time, the thoughts of hatred will become deeply ingrained in the mind and never die.

Qianqian asked Tony, how should this grievance inherited from his parents be resolved?

Tony did not answer directly, but counted on his fingers: "I just heard from the police station that this attack killed two drivers and seriously injured 12; three of them were seriously injured and not out of danger."

"That is to say, the best result for Ivan Vanke is to sit in prison for the rest of his life—if he is not sentenced to death." Thinking forward, "Is there a death penalty in Monaco?"

Tony shook his head: "No. So, if he stays in prison honestly, I will remember to send him a New Year's card every year."

"I don't think you have the opportunity to send out a New Year's card." Looking ahead, he was very clear, "A person who has mastered the miniaturization technology of the Ark reactor is destined not to be forgotten in prison for a long time."

Of course Tony also understood, he asked: "Who do you think it will be? The United States? The European Union? Or Russia?"

"It's hard to say, anyone is possible. There will inevitably be an off-the-table contest."

Tony didn't care too much, with a meaningless expression on his face: "What is certain is that no matter who took Ivan Vanke away, he will reappear in front of me in the end."

"I see." Xiangqian recalled the arrogance and madness of Ivan Vanke when he was arrested, with a sneer on his face; "At that time, we can kill him reasonably and legally."

Tony made no objection to the "suggestion" going forward.

To put it bluntly, wealth at the level of Tony and Qianqian is an existence that can determine the future and destiny of thousands of people in a single thought; whoever thinks that they are harmless to humans and animals? Little White Rabbit, that's stupid.

In the face of an enemy who expresses outright hostility and actually resorts to violent murder, any extra kindness is an opportunity for the other party to create a greater tragedy.

More than a dozen innocent racers have already been killed or injured. Would it be nice to see him cause even more casualties?

To take a step back, even if Howard Stark was sorry for Anton Vanke, even if you want revenge, can't you use a less drastic method?After all, Howard didn't kill Anton back then.

Technological confrontation, commercial confrontation, public opinion exposure, there are many ways to legally retaliate; no matter how powerful Stark Industries is, it is not impossible to block the sky with one hand, and there are not no people who are willing to stand up and fight Tony.

Even if you take a step back and say, if you insist on violent revenge, you can just target Tony alone, why bother to implicate the innocent?There is a way to build the Ark reactor, there is a way to get Tony's itinerary to participate in the competition, and there is no way to target Tony for precision strikes?

As far as Ivan Vanke's behavior is concerned, among other things, if he is given a chance, he will definitely attack Pepper, Happy, and Qianqian who are close to Tony without hesitation.

Now that this person has been driven mad by hatred, there is no way to reason.Nipping the danger in the bud is the most important thing right now.

In the evening of the same day, Xiangqian and Tony left Monaco one after another, and went back to their respective homes.

This racing trip started from Tony Stark's impromptu nonsense, and finally Ivan Vanke's deliberate attack; in the end, there was only a turbulent discussion in the news media.

No one knew that the two billionaires did not change the story; although they had already returned to their home countries, they were actually staring at Monaco with one eye open.

After a week of calm, Xiangqian received news of a fire in a prison in Monaco; the recent news focus, Ivan Vanke, who made a terrorist attack on a racetrack, died in the fire.

According to unknown prison staff, there was an explosion at the scene of the fire, including Ivan Vanke, and the bodies of several dead prisoners were beyond recognition, and their identities could only be identified by their prison uniform numbers and body shapes.

"Made, it's a fire and an explosion; can it be made more fake?" Xiangqian sneered, "Prison is not a restaurant, and gas pipes are laid at the door of the cell? Burn it if you say it, and blow it up if you say it !"

While cursing, Xiangqian and Tony exchanged messages.

"You said, would others think that you killed Ivan Vanke?" Qiangqian asked with a malicious smile, "A narrow-minded billionaire paid off the prison to kill the murderer who attacked him—— It's so in line with the way conspiracy theorists think."

Tony also smiled: "The people who took Ivan Vanke may have planned that; they used conspiracy theories related to me to attract attention and cover up the fact that they harbored terrorist suspects."

"Then how are you going to respond to this question?"

"Why respond? Let them think what they want." Tony disagreed, "We have no evidence to prove that Ivan Vanke is still alive, and they also have no evidence to prove that I killed Ivan Vanke. The media likes to talk nonsense and let them say, If it’s too much, I’ll send a lawyer’s letter.”

"Aha..." Qiangqian couldn't help rolling his eyes, "You taught me how to deal with harassment from gossip tabloids back then, it seems to be similar to what you just said."

This method, to put it nicely, is called "a long illness becomes a good doctor", and in a bad way, it is called "there are too many lice and it doesn't itch".

"Isn't it enough that it works?" Tony didn't think there was anything wrong with using old methods to deal with new problems.

"Be careful, Tony. We all know what Ivan Vanke wants to do after leaving prison; from now on, he may appear in front of you at any time." Joking aside, danger must be taken seriously.

Tony on the other end of the phone couldn't help being stunned: "Dude, don't tell me that you didn't arrange someone to monitor Ivan, or lost Ivan Vanke; that would make me despise you."

Xiangqian couldn't help laughing, and he asked back: "Didn't you arrange surveillance?"

"Since I know you will definitely go, why bother?" Tony said confidently, "After all, I prefer purely technical means; but satellite surveillance can't be precise to a specific person, and surveillance cameras are not efficient. At the same time, you know some special people far more than I do."

Qiangqian just laughed out loud; it can only be said that he and Tony deserve to be the people who know each other best.

"Okay, let's talk; show off the results of your surveillance operation to Brother Tony." An eager urging voice came from the other end.

"Okay." Qianqian didn't keep his secrets anymore, "The news just came back that after Ivan Vanke was taken out of prison, he was sent out of Monaco immediately; he is now at a small airport on the outskirts of Marseille. I'm afraid You can never imagine who is the mastermind behind his rescue."

Xiangqian picked up the tablet at hand, and on the screen was a photo of Ivan Vanke meeting and talking with someone; from the shooting angle and the expressions and movements of the subject, it was obvious that the photo was taken secretly without the other party’s knowledge .

Tony on the other end of the phone didn't take it seriously: "Anyone else is nothing more than a certain country's intelligence agency; who else would surprise you?"

"How should I put it? If I were to describe this messenger, it would be a fool who did things that were reasonable but unexpected." Raising his finger forward, he sent the photo to Tony, "You should see for yourself. "

After a few seconds...

"Are you kidding?! Justin Hammer?" Tony yelled, "He deserves it too?"

Qianqian smiled "hehe": "Yeah, I wanted to say that too—is he worthy?"

Ivan Vanke's behavior style is certainly abominable, but only on the technical level, no matter which country he is in, he is an undoubted strategic talent.The two core technologies of Ark Reactor and Iron Armor are enough to make any government in the world salivate.

Xiangqian even dared to say that if there were not too many countries staring at Ivan, and Europe was too far away, I am afraid that even China would not be able to help but intervene.

But now?Justin Hammer, an arms dealer, actually took the core technical talents that all major countries pay attention to into his own hands?

He deserves it?

"Tell me, who is he serving as a white glove for?" Tony asked quietly on the other end of the phone.

Thinking forward: "It depends on where he puts Ivan Vanke in the end. If he finally brings people back to the United States, it will be either the US government or the military."

"He's going to screw things up." Tony didn't hide his disdain. "Justin Hammer's only sure thing is that he's going to screw up everything that matters. This white glove is doomed to stains." .”

Looking forward to Justin's embarrassing performance at the Senate hearing, he nodded sympathetically; a person who can film himself in video evidence and openly broadcast it at the hearing is indeed easy to impress .

"My people will continue to keep an eye on Ivan's whereabouts; you can check Hammer's private jet to see the route he recently applied for." Qianqian said, "Actually, it would be great if Justin really brought him back to the United States , making it easier for you to monitor Ivan's movements."

Tony replied, "I understand."

In the case of prior knowledge, it is of course more convenient to monitor nearby.

At this time, Tony said again: "I have another thing to ask you here."

"what's up?"

"Didn't I arrange a booth for you at the expo? When will you officially start showing?" Tony asked eagerly, "I'm talking about electromagnetic rifles."

Xiangqian immediately figured it out: "Are you in a hurry? Someone put pressure on you again because of Mark's armor?"

"Yeah; remember that senator who presided over the hearing? What was... what was it called?"

A suspicious voice came from the receiver, and Jean Xiangqian seemed to see the picture of Tony shaking his head and tapping his head lightly.

Well, I held a hearing with the boss, but I didn't even remember the name.

"'Prostitution Expert'?" Qianqian tried to remind.

"Oh, yes, it's him...what's his name...forget it, it doesn't matter." Tony simply gave up trying to remember, "it's that senator, on the way back from Monaco, he took the phone Called; we were even over the Atlantic."

Asked forward: "What did he say?"

"He mentioned Ivan Vanko," Tony said. "Ivan Vanko showed off the Ark reactor and Mark Armor-like technology; the senator thought that just proved that I lied at the hearing. He said, Mark Armor The core technology has already been leaked, and there is no reason for Stark Industries to keep it secret."

"He wants to hold a hearing again?" Xiang Qiang was dumbfounded.

"He suggested that I take the initiative to hand over the technology." Tony's voice became eccentric, "In his original words: Considering the good relationship between Stark Industries, the government, and the military, keep a little bit for Mr. Stark. Decent, don't make trouble in the hearing again, so as not to lose face."

Xiangqian sneered and said, "Don't the Senator lose face?"

"Hmph..." Tony also sneered.

After the two of them sneered at the "prostitution expert" at the same time, they stepped forward and reminded: "Tony, don't you think that senator's behavior is a bit strange?"

"Is there any member of Congress who is not surprised? Which side are you talking about?"

"Think about it, they are going to fight for Mark's armor technology, writing reports and holding hearings. It can be said that they are determined to win; but right now, Ivan Vanke, who has mastered the core technology, stands in front of them, but they turn a blind eye."

When he was told forward, Tony immediately recalled it.

Because of the dispute in the previous hearing, Tony was also confused at the beginning, and took the opponent's continued pursuit of the Mark armor for granted.But looking back, it is clear that Ivan Vanke also has the relevant core technology, doesn't he?

Qianqian continued: "More importantly, Ivan Vanke has been arrested and imprisoned before; that is to say, he is already under the control of the government's public power; it is easier to deal with a criminal than with the world's richest man A lot. But why did that 'prostitution expert' choose to be blind, ignore Ivan, and insist on fighting you to the very end? Could it be that the United States can't convince a little Monaco?"

"Cheating? Or, he didn't get the chance to deal with Ivan Vanke?" Tony speculated on the other end of the phone, "After all, the government, the military, and Congress often fight more than cooperate."

"There is this possibility." Xiang Qiang murmured, "But is there another possibility—his purpose from the beginning was not just the Mark armor."

"What else can there be besides the Mark armor?" Tony was puzzled.

"I can't tell..." Qiangqian frowned slightly. At this time, he had too little information to make an accurate judgment; "It's just that the senator feels very wrong to me."

－－－－－－off topic－－－－－

There are actually some plots in "Iron Man 2" that cannot withstand scrutiny. The most serious point is: at the beginning of the film, the US officials went to war for Mark's armor technology, but when Ivan Vanke appeared on the stage, even Hammer understood this Russian People are an excellent opportunity to bypass Tony Stark to obtain armor technology, but the US government is indifferent, as if it has completely disappeared.

We can understand that this is a deliberate simplification in order to promote the plot of the movie, but in the book, Hammer has to be treated as a white glove.Otherwise, it's really hard to explain why the CIA, FBI, and even S.H.I.E.L.D. all disappeared around Ivan Vanke.
