"Hannibal!!!" When Hannibal appeared on the yacht, Colonel Rhodes immediately protected the president behind him as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
After all, everyone knows that the relationship between Hannibal and the federal government has never been good. In fact, up to now, the federal government still has the power to arrest Hannibal. As for the reason, on the surface it is because Hannibal killed people, but the actual reason is,
Various. So even though Hannibal did not go against the federal government on many occasions, Colonel Rhodes still instinctively protected the president and prevented Hannibal from getting violent and hurting others.
Hannibal glanced at Rhodes, and then lost interest.
"This is a stabilizer." Hannibal handed Kai a few potions. Then he said, "Pepper is in a lot of trouble, but Tony should be able to solve it."
"Thank you." Kai took the potion.
"If it's okay, I'll leave first. After all, I just got a lot of conscious things." Hannibal had no communication with the president during the whole process.
Benjamin was also very self-aware and kept silent. After all, no one knew better than him what the conflict between Hannibal and the federal government was about.
When Hannibal disappeared, both Benjamin and Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, everyone would be nervous when such a dangerous person was around. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Hannibal never seemed to have a real confrontation.
Through the federal government. However, in order to combat Hannibal, the government continued to fuel the rumors about Hannibal, causing Hannibal's ferocity to be magnified almost countless times. As a result, public opinion in turn affected the government itself...
I think Hannibal is a vicious criminal who opposes the government.
This can be regarded as a typical example of lying too much and deceiving oneself.
"Huh..." Benjamin did not hide his emotions in front of Kai. He exhaled hard and made a 'survived' expression: "Kai... Although I don't want to comment on your friends, but
Hannibal...this will make it difficult for me."
This is actually quite rude. You've already said it, but why don't you comment on Kai's friends? How hard is it to do that? It's both right and wrong!
And, who are you to interfere in Kai’s friendship?
Benjamin would never be so taciturn in normal times. The reason why he said this deliberately was just to test.
The federal government knows that Kai has good personal relationships with many superheroes. This makes them pay more attention to Kai and at the same time be very wary of him. After all, once the government conflicts with those superheroes, Kai's position will be worthy of vigilance.
Although Kai didn't hear the temptation in this, Hannibal himself was Kai's clone, so he naturally knew what kind of temptation Hannibal had on those officials.
"Don't find it difficult. Anyway, I won't interfere in your affairs with Hannibal. No matter if you are torn to pieces by Hannibal or if you capture Hannibal, I will not interfere. And...
With Hannibal's ability, if you can catch him... then there will be something wrong. At that time, he won't have the nerve to ask me for help."
Kai didn't lie. When Hannibal didn't take action... this person didn't exist at all!
Can you catch someone who doesn't exist?
If this is the case, will Kay have the dilemma of choosing between the government and Hannibal?
The answer is...no!
Not just Hannibal, but Batman too.
Every time this happens, Kai's answer is simple.
Do you want to arrest them?
Go catch it!
Anyway, my bottom line is that I can’t be caught. The rest... you can do whatever you want!
"Isn't he your friend?" Rhodes felt strange because this was not in line with Kai's personality.
According to the information Rhodes read, Kai is a person who cares about his friends. But his behavior now... is very unreasonable.
"Not really." Kai said honestly. He was also telling the truth. Is anyone boring enough to be friends with me? That might mean he has a serious illness. It would be best to see a psychiatrist. "Everyone takes what they need.
"We may work together for something, but we are not friends."
"So, even you don't know his details?" Benjamin asked curiously.
Although he has no urgent need to pursue rejuvenation, who knows if he will in the future? There is no harm in knowing more things.
"have no idea."
"Then how did you contact him?" Rhodes noticed the leader's intention, so he stepped forward. As a vanguard, how could he ask his boss for everything?
"Are you interrogating me?" Kai narrowed his eyes and looked at Rhodes.
He is willing to confuse them, but that does not mean that he is willing to be a subject of interrogation!
"No, no, no!" Benjamin stood up quickly. He had a good relationship with Kai, and the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages for him. He would not stupidly let the relationship between the two have a rift. "Just ask casually, everyone knows.
Hannibal is mysterious...but we always thought you would understand him. After all, you have appeared together quite a few times. We are curious, just curious."
"Hmph!" When you should be angry, you need to be angry. Otherwise, with the urinary behavior of those politicians, if you dare to take a step back, they will dare to push forward.
So Kai didn't bother to say any more. After all, if he said any more, it would be a bit deliberate. In short, the expression of attitude is enough.
…
Although what happened today was serious, the next day, the news was quiet.
A port being bombed is not a trivial matter, but it is not a big deal either. After all, it is just an abandoned port, and the only people who really care about that port are criminals.
There was no report at all about the White House Brother, the President was kidnapped and almost sent to heaven by terrorists. Similarly, the attack on Air Force One became a top secret internal file.
Of course, this was a mistake, as Tony Stark and the Stark Group stepped in to solve all the trouble.
The port was bombed, but the Stark Group came forward to say that the port was to be rebuilt.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Miami.
Even the problems on Rhodes' side were thanks to Tony.
Rhodes' Iron Patriot... was found. After it was pulled out of the ruins, it was still smoky, short-circuited and scorched. It could have been renamed the Beggar Patriot. What made Rhodes even more sad was that
, his mecha has been hijacked by a Ministry of Defense contractor for the second time...
Originally, the blame should undoubtedly be thrown on Rhodes.
After all, he is the most suitable, right?
But because of Tony, Rhodes not only failed to take responsibility, but also blamed the Pentagon and the military.
After all, not only do you not know how to choose a partner, but you also blindly modify it, causing the mecha to be invaded and hijacked time and time again! Can you still do some personnel work?
This time it was to kidnap the president, what about next time?
This time it was sheer luck, and I happened to meet Kai investigating the matter! What if there was no Kai?
Then he will become the most notorious traitor in American history!
Who suffered this?
Colonel Rhodes said that he no longer trusts those bullshit engineers from the Ministry of Defense and the military.
Yes, so far, Rhodes has figured out that the actual owner of Iron Patriot has never been the Pentagon or the military.
When Rhodes got the Iron Patriot, it wasn't allocated by the military and the Pentagon, and they didn't spend any money. It was given to Colonel Rhodes by Tony!
If he uses it to serve the country, that is a sign of high consciousness. But you cannot deprive him of his private property.
So with Tony's support, he encouraged Rhodes to be tough for a while.
Even if it might delay time, he insisted on leaving the repair work to Tony. Otherwise, what would happen if someone else hacked the Patriot armor again.
For such requirements, the military and the Ministry of National Defense have no good solution.
It is true that the basket was too big this time.
The other is the Vice President.
On the night after the incident ended, he was arrested by the secret service.
Naturally, it is impossible for the vice president and terrorists to make it public. But his cooperation with terrorists is something that the top government officials absolutely cannot accept. If this kind of thing is not severely punished, who knows what will be discovered in the future.
Political struggle is political struggle.
There are still very clear rules for political struggles in the United States. That is, do not harm human life.
We are all upper class people, there is no need to be so extreme.
Even after retirement, many high-ranking government officials will be protected by unspoken rules, and they will never be blamed! No matter how much money you greed for, as long as you retire, it will be nothing. This has nothing to do with the political environment in the United States.
It's closely related. There is no way. You can't expect those high-ranking officials and powerful people to contribute to this country for free in a capitalist country like the United States, right?
Moreover, the collusion between politics and business in the United States has reached a new level.
For example, if a company wants to bribe a politician, it will never give money directly. That is too low.
Haha, look at the families of politicians in the United States. Are any of them poor? There is not even a middle class, just a wealthy class!
That's because their bribery methods are more advanced.
Often when a politician helps a company in certain places, the company will never give money directly, but will "sponsor" it under various names, such as campaign funds, various speeches, activities, etc.
Many American politicians write memoirs after retirement.
Okay, so, do these memoirs make money? Of course they make money! But how many people will buy those memoirs?
The answer is that almost no one buys it...who the hell would read something full of lies.
The other thing is giving speeches. I just give speeches everywhere.
These speeches are all profitable. So where does the money come from? Do major universities really have such budgets to invite politicians to speak to students? Universities invite politicians to speak... What is the point? Not really
Can anyone learn anything from this?
But it doesn't matter, someone sponsors it!
In this way, the money that politicians earn from speeches has nothing to do with those sponsors, it is given by the university!
Another way for politicians to make money after retirement is to work as a senior executive in a company. The annual salary is scary, and you don’t have to do anything every day, just have a name.
These methods are nothing, there are more, such as setting up an information consulting company, also known as a lobbying company, or setting up a research laboratory, also known as a think tank. These can all make money!
In short, there are various ways to make money, and they are all legal.
This method of interest exchange is basically public.
This also makes it easier for American politicians to become spokespersons for capital and interest groups.
In this environment, the battles in the American political arena are actually not fierce, and most of them are just rhetoric.
This time, the Vice President not only elevated it to direct personal safety, but also cooperated with terrorists... This has crossed the bottom line.
It's impossible not to catch him.
But people like the Vice President colluded with terrorists... Such news is too crazy. Once it breaks out, Benjamin and the entire federal government will be criticized by huge public opinion. After all, it was Benjamin who nominated the Vice President! Both houses of Congress
I even agreed...
Everyone adds up.
Forget about it, he directly arrested him secretly, and then announced that the vice president was unable to hold the position of vice president due to physical reasons, and then... took the initiative to submit his resignation. The two houses of Congress quickly passed it, and then came the news that the vice president was seriously ill with a brain tumor, and then the White House
I regret to inform you soon that the Vice President passed away due to a brain tumor.
The whole process is extremely fast!
This is certainly not in line with procedural justice!
But compared with the negative effects it brings, the so-called procedural justice is completely meaningless.
And the Vice President's family has not been able to say anything yet.
say what?
That his father is actually a crazy criminal who colluded with terrorists?
How good it is now that the old man is proud to keep his name both before and after him. More importantly, it does not affect them themselves.
Another thing, the government is also very concerned about.
That's Killian's Extremis virus.
That thing is definitely a technology that would make any country drool!
Although some of the desperate soldiers who self-destructed and the state they were in when they died showed that this thing was definitely a big problem. But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Even with such a terrifying combat power as the green fat man, there are still various difficulties to solve.
The sequelae of the disease. Now there is an Extremis virus, which can breathe fire, fly, and even regenerate its limbs. Of course, gaining superpowers comes at a huge price. However, for people without superpowers, the temptation of the Extremis virus is still great.
Especially for people with disabilities.
The ability to regenerate limbs brought by the Extremis Virus is an irresistible temptation.
Moreover, when life is in danger, it is very cost-effective to use the Extremis virus to save one's life. With the help of inhibitors afterwards, the probability of self-destruction is not high, and you also have superpowers, which is much better than dying directly. Secondly, this technology can increase experiments
The quantity of products is used to make up for the yield rate. I believe that many dignitaries will never be stingy with this investment. It is just human life, and the price is clearly marked in this country. For those people, as long as they can be solved with money, it is not a big deal.
Furthermore, the application prospects of Extremis Virus don’t stop there.
Although Kai can easily deal with desperate soldiers, that's because he is Kai.
But try someone else?
If the Extremis Project had a character like Tony or was simply promoted by the government, it would have a completely different meaning.
Killian is actually at the level of a gang leader, and has not really utilized the true potential of the Extremis virus. If those Extremis warriors are equipped with exclusive equipment and technology, the combat effectiveness they can exert will definitely be no less than that of those superheroes.
Even if an organic system appears, it can definitely be called an overwhelming combat effectiveness on the battlefield!
