Chapter 293 Military Probe (2 in 1)(1/2)
As the senator finished speaking, Tony looked behind him differently and shouted: "Rhode, what?"
Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes slowly walked in from behind under the gaze of everyone.
Charlotte also turned around and looked back, looking at the lieutenant colonel in front of her. Hey, there was no change.
Tony stood up and walked a few steps towards Rhodes, held his hand and said, "Brother, I didn't expect you to come."
"It's me, I'm here, accept the facts."
"continue."
Rhodes then walked to the audience seat at the far end and sat down.
The senator continued: "This is the complete report that Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes has collected regarding Iron Man's weapons."
"Lieutenant Colonel, please read paragraph 4 on page 57."
Rhodes looked into the microphone in front of him and said with some surprise: "You want me to read a specific paragraph in the report?"
"Yes."
Rhodes glanced at Tony next to him, and then said, "I thought I was here to give a complete and detailed report."
The senator sitting on the stage smiled and said: "I understand, but there are many variables today."
Rhodes held the report in his hand and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "If you read it, you should know that reading out that specific paragraph does not represent the integrity of my report."
"I know, please read it out, Lieutenant Colonel, thank you."
Rhodes took a deep breath: "Okay!"
Then he turned the report to a specific page and said: "Iron Man is not affiliated with any government unit and therefore poses a threat to national security and interests."
"But my conclusion is that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the disadvantages..."
Before Rhodes could finish speaking, the senator on the stage interrupted directly: "That's enough."
Rhodes did not listen to the senator's words and continued: "This is why we are interested in letting Mr. Stark join the military command system."
The senator interrupted again: "That's enough!"
Tony said at this time: "I don't like to join any system, but I can consider becoming the Minister of Defense and working less hours."
Tony's words once again caused laughter on the scene, and Rhodes picked up the water glass and took a sip to demonstrate his embarrassment.
The senator continued: "I want to play the video from your report."
Lord declined: "I don't think it's time to release these videos to the public yet."
"I understand, Lieutenant Colonel."
"But we would be very grateful if you could explain these videos."
Hearing what the senator said, Rhodes said helplessly: "Bring up the video."
Soon, the picture began to play on the electronic screen nearby.
"Intelligence information indicates that the devices in these films are actually knock-offs of Mr. Stark's steel armor."
"This has been confirmed by our allies and intelligence units on the ground."
"It's likely that these steel armors are currently functional."
While watching the video being played, Tony took out his mobile phone and after some operations on it, interrupted:
"Wait a minute, show me."
As he spoke, Tony pointed his phone at the electronic screen in front of him, and soon the program code popped up on the screen, and then something was updated quickly.
"I control your screens, I need them."
"It's time for transparency."
"Let's see what's going on?"
The senator on the stage saw the scene in front of him and asked, "What is he doing?"
While controlling his mobile phone, Tony said: "Please look at the screen, I believe that is North Korea."
Soon the screen showed a steel retard being experimented on. It couldn't even walk normally, and it suddenly opened fire after falling, injuring some of the testing personnel.
The senator on the stage turned to Justin Hammer in the audience and quickly said: "Can you turn it off? Turn it off quickly."
Justin Hammer also noticed something was wrong and quickly got up and walked towards the electronic screen.
Tony on the side would not let go of this opportunity to make the other party look embarrassed, and immediately updated another video.
"This is Iran."
"There is no imminent serious danger, is that Justin Hammer?"
"Why is he also making counterfeit goods?"
"Justin, you're on TV, pay attention."
In the video, Justin was inspecting an anti-Iron Man armor, but the robot turned around and broke his waist.
There was laughter at the scene, and Justin came to the electronic screen, grabbed the connected video cable, and shouted: "Where's the plug, where's the plug."
Soon Justin found the plug and turned off the electronic screen completely.
The entire scene was in an uproar, and the hearing became less serious.
At this time, Tony said: "Most countries will take 5 to 10 years, and Hammer Industries will take at least 20 years."
Justin Hammer quickly ran back to his seat and said: "Let me point out that the driver is not dead."
The senator gratefully spoke up and said, "I think we've seen enough. He's proved his point."
"I don't think that explains..."
Tony interrupted, "I guess I'll just have to say it, you're welcome."
"What's the meaning."
"I can prevent nuclear war as a deterrent. Iron Man is very useful. We are safe and the United States is safe."
"If you want my product, don't even think about it."
"But I have helped you a lot. I can maintain world peace by myself."
As he spoke, Tony stood up and turned to the hearing officers behind him.
At this time, everyone also stood up and gave Tony a round of applause.
"What else do you want from me? This is it now."
Gu Lian
Tony then turned around and pointed at the congressmen on the stage: "I tried to cooperate with those clowns."
When the senator saw Tony calling him a clown, he also cursed in public: "Fuck you, Mr. Stark."
Tony picked up the sunglasses on the table and said with a smile: "Well, you are such a pistachio."
"Listen, I'm all for the people, I'm serving the country based on my own pleasure."
"If I've proven anything to the world, it's that you can absolutely count on me to make yourself happy."
"Now, if there is nothing else to do, then this hearing will be adjourned."
Watching Tony's performance, both Charlotte and Rhodes smiled, except for Justin Hammer, whose face was not so good.
At this time, the congressman on the stage picked up a small hammer and struck the table hard several times.
"Dong dong dong!"
The huge sound silenced the scene.
"OK, Mr. Tony Stark's issue about whether Iron Man is a weapon has come to an end for the time being."
"But there is a second hearing today."
"Please be quiet now."
When he heard that there was a second hearing, Tony was stunned for a moment. He was about to stand up and leave. He stopped, returned to his seat, and sat down. He wanted to see what these clowns were up to.
At this time, the door to the military committee hearing was opened, and a group of soldiers walked in. They came to stand on both sides of the venue with loaded guns and ammunition, and at the same time asked the media present to turn off the live broadcast.
When all live broadcasts were turned off, General Ross walked in and sat in the front row of the hearing.
"The following is the second hearing concerning Mr Charlotte Doyle"
Charlotte was stunned for a moment when she heard her name being called. She thought she was watching a show, or that she was going to testify, so she didn't read the contents of the court summons. She didn't expect that she was also the protagonist.
Tony also looked at Charlotte in surprise, but when he saw Ross walking in, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Mr. Charlotte Doyle, would you like to ask if Stark Industries is conducting research on super soldier serum?"
Charlotte looked at the senators on the stage, frowned slightly, glanced at General Ross who came in and sat aside, and then said: "I didn't see anything about the super soldier serum in the company's financial report.
Research experiments and related financial expenditures.”
"Of course, I am only an individual shareholder of the company. For this kind of matter, I should contact Stark Industries' chairman, Stark or CEO Pepper Potts for confirmation."
