The next day, nine in the morning.
Tony Stark appeared on time at the government hearing attended by the Military Commission. He sat in the defendant's seat for the first time, but he didn't panic at all.
Instead, he kept looking around, greeting the group of friends and relatives around him and winking at pepper Potts.
Pepper gives Tony a quick, angry look, indicating that he should keep a minimum rule in court, but Tony doesn't care about it at all. He goes his own way until the members who preside over the hearing can't stand it.
"Mr. stark, can we move on to the subject just now? Mr. stark, please The member sitting on it knocked the mallet in his hand several times in a row, and even used the words of extremely sincere request.
"Of course, my dear. Do you have any instructions? " Tony turned his head and made a serious appearance, and his tone immediately caused a light laugh in the serious court.
The congressman sitting in the bench pretended not to hear the laughter and went on to say, "Mr. stark, can you answer my question honestly?"
"Of course, my dear. By the way, what kind of question are you asking? " Tony would not be honest just because of one word, but he did.
No matter what his attitude is, how can a congressman sit in this position to study Tony Stark without doing some prior research on him. So he ignored this frivolous, unruly attitude and said to him with a smile on his face: "Mr. stark, do you have a special high-tech weapon?"
"No!" Tony's answer to this question was firm.
Hearing Tony's answer of telling lies with his eyes open, Mr. congressman's voice could not help rising a lot. It seemed that his voice was very sharp: "did you say no?"
"Yes. No! " Tony's expression is very sincere. If Mr. congressman didn't know Tony Stark first, he might have been cheated.
"I'm quite sure. of course. It depends on what you define as a weapon. "
"Iron man is a weapon, Mr. stark!" Mr. congressman didn't bother to make a fuss with Tony. He said frankly that he didn't think this kind of established fact could be turned over by Tony's clever mouth.
Hearing this, Tony immediately made his face a little more serious. He pulled the microphone in front of him and said solemnly, "my invention is not a weapon!"
"Not a weapon?"
The senator sat up straight, looked at Tony fiercely, and asked, "how do you define it? Mr. stark? "
"He is what he is, your excellency. If you want me to say that, it can only be regarded as a high-tech prosthesis! "
Tony's words immediately attracted a bigger laugh, everyone knows that Tony is pulling the calf again.
In spite of all the laughter, Tony said to the senator seriously, "this is the best adjective I can think of. A tech prosthesis, yes. That's it
"It's ridiculous, Mr. stark. It's a weapon, he's a weapon! "
In the face of Tony's absurd remarks, the senator is not calm, he increased the volume, overshadowed Tony's voice, and gave his own definition.
"If you give priority to the well-being of the people..." Tony naturally can't tolerate his invention being defined like this. He just wanted to make up words to refute the senator.
The senator interrupted Tony and said, "no, I give iron man to the American people first."
It's obvious that Tony, who can only fight for a while, can't take advantage of the fight with senators who rely on their mouths.
But not taking advantage doesn't mean he will submit.
Tony declared his opinion in a straight voice, excited and high: "don't even think about it. I'm iron man. I am one with my steel armor. You want me to hand it over. It's about me giving myself up. So don't even think about it. If you force me to do so, I can understand that you want to force me to do servitude or sell (prostitution) or something. It must be illegal, of course, it depends on which state. However, I think I can use legal means to safeguard my own interests here. So, to sum up, Senator, I can't give it to you. "
When Tony made such a fuss, the scene suddenly seemed to be as lively as some hilarious talk show, and in this atmosphere, even the senators who are good at talking have no room to continue.
He can only pull up foreign aid to continue his plan.
"Look, I'm not an expert on this. I don't know if what you said is true or not. Whether iron man is a weapon or not, I need a weapon expert to give us some advice. Now, I'm going to call Justin hammer, the main arms dealer at the Department of defense. "
When he heard this name, Tony understood who was targeting himself. The defense department must be one side, but it was this shameless hammer who instigated the defense department. Only he could have this spirit to target himself.
You know, in the past, when stark was still the leader of the arms industry, hammer industry had been eyeing stark industry.
However, at that time, the relationship between stark and the Department of defense was better than that of hammer industry, which also led to that hammer industry had no way to target stark.
But now it's not the same. Stark industries has withdrawn from the field of arms, which leads to the fact that the market share he left is destined to be shared by the remaining giants.
But during this period of time, Osborne was also in trouble, so hammer industry seized the opportunity to catch up and became the largest supplier of the Department of defense.
However, even if it became the largest arms seller, there was a certain gap between hammer industry and the original stark industry.
The most important gap is in sophisticated weapons. Hammer industries is a company that relies on small and light individual weapons, and it is not enough in this respect.
In addition, the leader of stark enterprise is a genius who can develop black technology, which naturally makes the gap between them bigger and bigger.
Moreover, Tony looks down on Justin hammer and thinks that this guy is an imbecile. The reason why hammer industry is able to defeat several other arms dealers is because of the support from the government.
Justin hammer is a processing plant, specialized in processing equipment for the first arms dealer in the United States.
Sometimes, the president of the United States does not want his fingerprints on some weapons, so Justin hammer's hammer industry has become the best agent.
In other words, it's not hammer who's in trouble, it's the government who's forcing Tony to hand over iron man technology( End of this chapter)
