Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

In the original book, Tony didn't expect Rhodes to come, which surprised him.

However, before this hearing, Karl told him about this possibility. Tony didn't seem so surprised and just said hello to Rhodes.

"You shouldn't have come to this hearing..."

"Yes, I'm here, accept the reality." As a lieutenant colonel of the Eagle Country Air Force, Rhodes behaved very seriously.

"Well, I just..." Tony and Carl looked at each other, then sighed.

Lord would never have agreed to attend the hearing if he had known what would happen next.

"Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, please read aloud the second paragraph on page 57 of your report."

"I thought I came here to give a complete and detailed report." Rhodes frowned.

"I know, but things have changed a lot today." Stern said with a smile on his face, as if he was a successful villain.

"But if you have read the full report, you should know that just reading that paragraph cannot fully express what I mean."

"I know, but please read it out, Lieutenant Colonel, thank you."

Rhodes sighed and began to make a statement: "Iron Man is not affiliated with any official unit and therefore poses a threat to national security and interests...

But my conclusion is that the advantages of Iron Man far outweigh the disadvantages..."

"enough--"

Rhodes didn't stop: "This is why we are interested in having Mr. Stark join the military command structure."

"Okay, I said you can stop!"

When Tony heard this, he already understood that Stern had led him into a trap, so he said decisively: "I will not join any command system, but I am willing to be the Minister of Defense."

Stern smiled slightly: "Next, I will play the video information in the report. Lieutenant Colonel, please explain it."

Although Lord said he didn't think it was time to show the films yet, he was forced to begin explaining them at Stern's insistence.

After all, Stern now represents Congress, and Congress is responsible for approving funding for the Department of Defense.

Instead of letting Stern find a reason to replace him with a greedy guy, he had to force himself to obey orders.

"Okay...play the video."

The video is an aerial photo of a military base. In the photo, there is a huge robot standing in the square.

"Intelligence indicates that the devices in these films are replicas of Mr. Stark's steel armor, as confirmed by our allies and ground forces.

These steel armors are probably available for now..."

Carl gave Tony a wink when he heard this - the rest of the time was their turn to fight back.

Tony was already prepared.

During this time, he didn't party at home every day.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look..." Tony took out his mobile phone and pointed it at the screen where the display was being performed. Then a window appeared on the screen, and various operating instructions kept popping up.

"Great, here's something, I control your screens, I need them."

“It’s time to bring transparency to this.”

The strange behavior of the screen made people on Stern's side feel uneasy - this was not the established process!

"Please look at the screen, I believe this is North Korea."

The picture turned into a video, in which a large robot tremblingly walked out of the warehouse, but fell to the ground within a few steps.

Not only that, but what's even more terrifying is that its weapons fired uncontrollably upon impact!

The Gatling gun mows down the people next to it as easily as it cuts wheat, and the camera is stained with blood...

This bloody scene made people at the hearing cover their mouths.

In fact, not only North Korea on the screen, most countries in the world are trying to imitate it, but the more countries that are in urgent need of war, the more radical their actions will be.

But they all have one thing in common - the attitude of eager for quick success and quick gain has not brought any benefits to the research.

On the contrary, half-finished robots and weapons caused many casualties!

Among them are not only the so-called "enemy countries", but also the allies mentioned by Stern!

Even their largest defense weapons contractor - Hammer Industries!

On the screen, the replica of Hammer Industries made a strange 180-degree rotation after being activated, and the soldiers inside heard miserable screams!

"Turn it off! Turn those things off!" Stern shouted hurriedly, but the person at the console couldn't control the screen at all!

Hammer didn't care about his own face, so he rushed to the screen and fumbled for the wires--

Karl looked at this scene and just adjusted the crystal tower in his hand.

This is a rod-shaped signal tower about 70cm, with the crystal at the top.

"Is it done?" Carl said to Blitzcrank in his mind.

"It's done. There are a lot of electronic devices on site. It's not easy to find the right frequency to transmit power."

Snapped.

As Hammer unplugged the wires and Carl placed the small tower on the table, the crystal began to emit a dazzling blue light.

Then people were surprised to find that the TV was still running!

It’s just that the picture and sound quality are a lot worse, but it’s still running!

"Why! Why is this thing still playing - what have you done!" Stern looked at Karl angrily.

"This is what I used to respond to the hearing - I said that Hex Technology is mainly a civilian enterprise, and this is my latest little invention, a wireless transmission tower.

Imagine if cities didn’t have those annoying and dangerous power lines…”

"It's a good invention, but I have to put down a video." Tony reminded Carl to pay attention to the advertising time.

"Okay - one last thing to add, the volunteer who was tried on in the video is now receiving treatment at my place and can walk normally."

The scene on the TV changed to the unlucky guy being put on a medical exoskeleton in the hospital.

Tony raised his eyebrows, clicked on his phone, and started playing the next video.

"Normal businesses only take 5-10 years, Hammer Industries might take 20 years - and then here's the next video."

Stern stood up from his seat so anxiously that he danced and said, "I think Mr. Hammer has proved his point. This does not mean..."

"What about this?" Tony's face turned cold as he showed a video that would shock the world.

These videos are of the Cerberus team using corpses to sell illegal drugs and torture civilians in Afghanistan.

And in addition to this, he also found more similar things during this time, and the evidence emerged one after another.

Such brutal images made people pale - even though Eagle Country is the country with the strongest force on the planet.

But it doesn't mean that these high-ranking officials and dignitaries will actually experience those things.

"I discovered that our military was conducting illegal activities under some 'mysterious' intelligence organizations, selling illegal drugs, killing civilians and creating panic."

The expressions of everyone in the hearing changed. This is a very serious accusation!

Their army is doing this kind of thing!

Of course Stern knew this: "This is a very serious accusation! Mr. Stark, you are accusing Eagle Country..."

"No, I'm suing some hypocritical guy, and if you think I don't have witnesses - you're wrong."

Carr said to Blitzcrank in his mind: "Get Frank and Garner in."

Then he leaned into the microphone and said: "Obviously, Mr. Stark's one-sided statement is not enough to support this view.

But fortunately, I found two witnesses who were involved in this operation--let me call out my witnesses, Frank Custer and John Garner.

That is, in the video, the soldiers of the Cerberus team, the former Marine Corps captain and lieutenant. "

The guard blocking the door was stunned for a moment when he saw the two men in military uniforms. He wanted to stop them, but was forced back by Frank's murderous eyes.

"At the same time, Mr. Custer is also..." Carl paused and called up the list of Frank's medals in his mind, "The Medal of Honor, Navy Cross, 3 Silver Hearts, 4 Purple Hearts and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. By."

After saying that, the hearing that was bustling just now suddenly became extremely silent, and Stern's face instantly became dim.

I saw two men in military uniforms and decorated with medals slowly walking to the hearing seat.

Seeing people's dumbfounded looks, Carl coughed twice and said: "Frank, can you swear on the Bible and the Eagle Country Constitution that every word you say next is true?"

Frank looked at the congressmen with firm eyes, raised three fingers to the sky and said, "I swear, everything I said is true."

"I did participate in the action in the film."
