Sure enough, the next day, public opinion turned upside down. But there are really many bullies in the United States, so it was not only the Hammer Group that was scolded, but also Tony and the Expo. Anyway, if you really want to find a reason, there are a lot of them.
, such as irresponsible security, such as problems with the organization of the conference. In short, the media in New York are the most difficult group in the world to serve. They are always willing to show others their uniqueness. They call this thing '
Journalistic independence'.
Stark Group immediately stood up for public relations. Unlike the general shirk of responsibility, they stood up very responsibly and took responsibility for their mistakes. They also provided reasonable humanitarian assistance to the individuals who were harmed that day. It cannot be compensation, otherwise it would be
It was the Hammer Group that took the blame. But this attitude still made many people feel the sincerity of the Stark Group. After all, strictly speaking, this matter was the responsibility of the Hammer Group from beginning to end, and so was the Stark Group itself.
The party whose interests are harmed.
The public is not really stupid. They can still tell the difference between good and bad when no one is leading the rhythm. As for setting the pace for the Stark Group... who is full of food? There is no benefit in leading the rhythm at this time.
Not to mention, do you really think that the Stark Group is a vegetarian?
On the expo side, Stark Group also came forward to carry out repairs. Anyway, as long as you have money, everything is easy. What's more, the bill for this repair will also be sent to Hammer Group.
What? You said that the Hammer Group is going to be destroyed. Who will pay?
Don't be stupid, Justin Hammer will be finished, that's for sure, but the Hammer Group will be finished? Impossible. The Hammer Group does not belong to Justin Hammer, he is just one of the shareholders, and he is not the majority shareholder.
With too many interests involved, how could a company with a market value of tens of billions collapse easily? Of course, the price must be paid. But it is absolutely impossible for those stakeholders to give up on the Hammer Group. After all, if
If the Hammer Group is really finished, it means that they are at a pure loss, but if the Hammer Group can continue to exist, it means that they still have the possibility of making money back.
And the possibility is not small. After all, this company is backed by the military-industrial complex. It is really not easy to get orders from the military. It is not difficult to get back up again.
So despite the lively scolding outside, the big bosses who are really behind the scenes have not suffered much harm.
For example, there are several names mentioned by the White House spokesperson this morning.
The White House suddenly held a press conference this morning about this expo. The White House spokesperson emphasized that this time the role played by the Hammer Group in this incident and its violations will be thoroughly investigated, and several
name, and directly told reporters that these people had committed serious violations of laws and regulations.
This is the first time in the entire history of the United States!
It’s not that he was investigated for corruption, but he was so vigorous and resolute!
In fact, the administrative efficiency of the United States is not high. Regardless of what the United States has been saying about neoliberalism and weakening the government, in fact, the United States has always been a big government, and those federal agencies are behemoths, which has caused conflicts among all parties.
The entanglement of interests is extremely deep, coupled with the continuous deepening of voting politics, resulting in extremely low overall administrative efficiency.
Let’s use an analogy.
For example, two roads in Boston needed to be rerouted because they were not suitable for development. It was such a simple matter, but the Boston Council delayed for ten years without making a decision.
With this kind of efficiency, it is normal to handle such a big case over a long period of time, and even wait until people have almost forgotten about it, before there will be any results. Unexpectedly, the White House actually threw out several names in one night
.
More importantly, among these people are senators, federal officials, and senior military generals.
This is indeed rare in American history.
The Pentagon and the federal prosecutor's office also acted responsibly. The Pentagon announced the name of the investigation team almost in the afternoon, and a joint investigation team from the Pentagon and the federal prosecutor's office immediately went to the Hammer Group!
Investigate the incident.
The next day, the investigation team interviewed Justin Hammer.
Then the New York City Prosecutor's Office issued an arrest warrant to arrest Justin Hammer without bail!
Justin Hammer's lawyer did not protest. His lawyer even issued a statement for Justin Hammer, expressing that he regretted it very much and was willing to take responsibility for it. He was very cooperative.
"Huh, who are you showing it to?" Tony commented disdainfully on the show.
In fact, the people who can be thrown out at this time are not important people. They are clearly scapegoats!
"Be content. It would be nice if, with the previous virtues of those gentlemen, they could throw out a few temporary workers and retire a few unimportant old guys. This time, those guys suffered heavy losses." Kai lay on the sofa,
He said angrily.
Not only is he a scapegoat, but he is also a high-level scapegoat! And many people will step down sadly because of this incident. For the interest groups behind the Hammer Group, it will definitely be a heavy loss. And they will not only lose these,
The Stark Group has also gained a lot. The first is the intuitive economic benefit. In this matter, no matter which party it is, it is necessary to appease the Stark Group, so the Stark Group has received a lot of compensation for its losses. The second is
Tony's own patents were preserved, and the military promised that they would not start similar projects without Tony's authorization.
Of course, if the other party is willing to pay such a high price, there are conditions.
That is, Tony must provide a set of mecha for the military to use. They may not be able to manufacture it, but they must not have it. This is also a kind of containment for Tony.
Balance is everywhere.
After much consideration, Tony agreed to the request, but the driver must be designated by him.
So the second 'War Machine' fell on James Lord.
This is a no-brainer.
In addition, the police were also sprayed this time, and it was Kai who was sprayed.
As a representative figure of the New York police, Kay's approval rate in New York City has always been high. After all, he has participated in various major events and performed well. What's more, he has also improved the appearance of Hell's Kitchen and is considered the most proud of New Yorkers.
One of the superheroes.
But in this operation, he was still sprayed.
It is said that he was soy sauce throughout the whole process and did not play his due role.
Please, those "nuclear bombs" were placed in front of him! They would explode as soon as he moved. How dare he move? He himself was not afraid, but the problem was that the audience who was there at the time couldn't bear it.
But the media doesn't care, they just spray.
Kay is also helpless about this, and those media are all small media, not mainstream at all, and their fans are also a bunch of guys with abnormal brains. The United States is so colorful, even veterinary medicine and disinfectant are dared to eat randomly.
Everyone has it, what can you do?
"Are you very free?" Tony didn't want to continue the topic because he always felt that he had lost. After all, he had lowered his head. Although he had to lower his head, he was still reluctant to talk about it. So he quickly changed the subject and asked Kai
Why don't you work at the police station?
Generally speaking, he is busiest after a big event like this.
"Too lazy to deal with the media." Kai lay on the sofa and waved his hand casually.
There were no casualties this time, except for those unlucky ones from the Hammer Group, but the police didn't need to worry about that thing at all. It was all blown to pieces. Just help them collect the bodies. The murderer was obvious.
There is no investigation.
Reporters have been going crazy these days, arresting people everywhere for interviews.
As the central figure in the incident (?), Kai was in a good position even though he was watching the whole show. He had a VIP seat and was directly standing in the admiration position.
"Since you are so free, you might as well go investigate this case." Tony looked at Kai and suddenly thought of something, and then Jarvis projected a piece of information.
"What?" Kai was startled by what was in the photo.
When I looked carefully, I saw that it was a person. I thought it was an avocado that had been burnt with sulfuric acid.
"Who is this? The new perverted murderer? The one who can harm himself?"
"Uh... no." Tony was speechless for a while, then clicked on the projector, and a video appeared.
In the video, an inexplicable guy wearing an ugly tight-fitting uniform that he found somewhere was fighting with a group of armed men on a viaduct.
"This..." Kai said seriously.
The guy's fighting style was unexpectedly reckless. When he appeared, he caused a car accident and was beaten into a sieve with a gun. However, as if nothing happened, the guy actually took two Japanese swords and held them against the bullets.
The enemy was almost killed.
If the Green Arrow of SHIELD hadn't suddenly appeared and hindered him, he might have really killed all those people.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"How's it going? Are you interested? It looks like a mutant." Tony said.
Kai shook his head. Now that SHIELD has intervened, he is not willing to intervene. Although Kai likes to cause trouble for SHIELD, this guy is obviously different from the Punisher or Blood Mint. Whether this grandson is causing car accidents
At that time, or during the battle, he never took care of ordinary people from beginning to end. Because of his nonsense, at least a dozen ordinary people were implicated in the car accident. This kind of person... From Kai's point of view, he is a bad guy.
It's not that Kai can't understand that the aftermath of the battle affects innocent people. Although it's a pity, there is really no way to completely avoid this kind of thing.
But being unable to avoid it and consciously keeping the fight away from ordinary people are two different things!
But what about that guy? He had no such idea at all. He didn’t care about the many vehicles on the viaduct and just went up to start a fight.
"Why are you so idle?" Although I don't know where the viaduct is specifically, it must not be New York, otherwise Kai would not know about it.
"Because I found out that this guy appeared in New York." Tony operated the projection again and played a video.
What appeared this time was the shockingly ugly guy just now. He was wearing a hoodie and stalking a woman.
"You said the guy in the ridiculous tights and the avocado are the same person?"
"That's right! This was analyzed by Jarvis based on motion capture." Tony said with certainty: "This guy seems to be plotting something against that girl. As a New York police officer, don't you care about the safety of citizens?"
Kai thought for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong and he could take a look.
…
At night, Wade stood in a dark corner, letting the chilly raindrops fall on his body, but his eyes just stared blankly at the balcony on the third floor. His current mood was exactly the same as the current weather, with cold wind and rain.
The words are desolate.
He used to be a handsome young man. Although others said that he was arrogant, he thought that they were jealous of others. He always thought that it was his humor, otherwise how could he possibly pursue his girlfriend.
Wade used to be a soldier, and even formed a team with a group of mutants. I really miss those days, when you didn’t have to think about anything, you just did what you were ordered to do!
Later, the team disbanded and he became unemployed. His immediate superior felt that he was not suitable for the army and asked him to fend for himself.
Although Wade was a little melancholy about this, he could accept it, so he returned to New York and started his old business.
Become a mercenary.
He accepts any job, ranging from killing people and setting fires to battlefields to stalking cats to do homework. After all, no matter how chaotic the United States is, there is not that much business to accept. If you really want to kill someone, others will find him.
Companies, such as high-end tables, such as mutual aid associations. In short, these people who run orders and help are actually at the bottom.
Sometimes I take orders from gangsters and act as temporary thugs, just to scare people.
Life was hard, but Wade felt that those days were his happiest times.
Because he met his girlfriend - Vanessa.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A barmaid.
After that, they quickly fell in love and lived together for two years. But then bad news came one after another.
He has cancer.
So he had to leave Vanessa.
In response to this, Wade felt comforted with bitterness: Fortunately, he left all the money to her.
Since his disappearance, Vanessa quit her job and became a homeless person from a barmaid. Every day she posted missing person notices with her photo printed on them everywhere and asked passers-by about their appearance.
Seeing Vanessa like that, he felt a kind of happiness, and then even greater despair.
How could he go see her when he looked like this? The two of them lay together. If she wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and saw his face, there was no need to go. She could just wait until the sheets were changed the next day.
After learning that he was not going to die soon, Wade looked around for a way, whether it was a way to save himself or a way that Vanessa could rely on for the rest of her life.
In the end he found a job... that he regrets to this day.
Be an experiment volunteer.
Of course, this is illegal. Otherwise it wouldn't be so expensive.
Two million!
No matter life or death!
At first he thought it was some undisclosed experimental treatment for cancer.
But you won’t know until you arrive.
Those guys deceived him, they were studying mutants!
Then those people tortured him in every possible way!
He wanted to die several times, but was saved by these people.
He didn't know how he survived those days. Maybe it was because of Vanessa? Or maybe... he wanted to tear those bastards into pieces with hatred!
In short, he survived, but the price was that his handsome appearance left him forever.
This also deepened his hatred for those who experimented on him!
"Hey, do you need help?" Just when Wade was feeling sad, a voice sounded behind him.
Wade's voice stiffened, and he immediately turned to look over.
The other party was obviously taken aback!
"Ow! Fuck! Wait, are you okay? Do you need a doctor? Really, man, your face is scarier than the one in the photo!" The person who came was none other than Kai. To be honest, Kai had seen the photo before,
I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect that the photo was actually edited!
It’s definitely skin resurfacing and beauty!
This guy's real appearance is ten times more disgusting than the photos!!! You don't even need makeup to shoot a horror movie.
