In front of a neat square table, top military officials from all factions in New York gathered here to discuss this matter.
And on the huge command screen, divided into two halves, what is shown is exactly the scene in the war.
One side!
A battlefield located above New York's more suburban areas.
In the military system, a named "special target" has been locked, with Lan Tianyu, the Vongola family, and the much-discussed Black Hand organization as the main force in a group war.
It has reached a fever pitch.
The entire picture, shown in the eyes of the military's top brass, is full of explosion special effects like light pollution.
Those wonderful and incredible powers are like watching a science fiction movie, extremely exciting.
And as soon as I think about it.
These are living realities in New York, above the city now shrouded in darkness.
It's a war, but as the top brass of the military, they have absolutely no strength to intervene.
This makes you old-school generals.
Especially for a big man like General Ross, who has been in a high position all year round, facing this kind of situation that is out of his control, the feeling of urgency and anxiety is really beyond words.
Still the same.
On the other side of the command screen.
The military armed forces belonging to the New York military have once again rushed into this city that originally belonged to humans.
Entering from the city border on the New York side, the target is the center point of New York, located on the dividing line between the old and new cities.
Right there.
There are intelligent creatures different from humans on the rise.
The incredible super rat that has been standing on the throne and has been detected by the military is waiting for the arrival of the soldiers!
This is just a big rat, and it is also the harvest that the military is looking forward to.
As for this war between humans and rats, the military, which has tanks and fighter jets, never thought about the possibility of losing.
on the contrary!
After catching the big rat, many people are already looking forward to the big victory cake they can get.
At this time, they only have one competitor!!
It's that hateful secret service organization, in the name of supporting the military.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rapid response special forces, each agent is equipped with sophisticated personal equipment and enters the battlefield as a small team.
This is not good news.
Last time.
Although the specific details of the operation were kept secret, and even though the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. had a lot of quarrels, the specific details were not clear.
It's real.
The captain of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rapid response special force, Crossbones, who is still very famous in some circles, indeed captured the "Moonlight Moria" who caused the zombie wave!!
pity!
It's all because SHIELD insists on doing some kind of joint research.
As a result, an accident occurred while escorting the experimental subjects to California. If all interrogation and research work had been handed over to the military from the beginning, this kind of thing would never have happened.
And now.
Edwards Air Force Base disappeared entirely from the map.
After such a big thing happened, the military should have continued to take over, or to put it more clearly, General Ross's subordinates, who also belonged to the Air Force, should have continued to take over.
But SHIELD is still wrangling.
This is going to make General Ross angry to death!!
“Bang!!”
A punch hit the command platform directly. Now whenever he thinks of SHIELD, General Ross's liver hurts.
What happened at Edwards Air Force Base has affected General Ross's prestige to a certain extent, which he must make up for.
"This time, no matter what, I will snatch all the loot!!"
"I don't care who that bullshit special team is here to support!!"
"That big rat, I must see."
This is war.
This is an extremely serious war that General Ross has not really commanded for a long time.
He has put all his energy into it.
All the troops that the New York Military District could produce in a short period of time were used, and all possible military forces were deployed.
At the cost of the city of New York, he wants to fight and win everything that should belong to him and that he has been pursuing for so many years.
beat.
All permissions are unlocked, and there is no need to worry about the consequences, as long as the adaptability is suppressed!!
And after this.
The military has already selected candidates to deal with the aftermath.
Not to mention the guy from the New York Police Department, he's going to die. Who cares about such a little person?
But now, there are more important things to do...
That's it!!
Stark Industries was caught in pigtails!!
It will be another delicious cake that the military can bite after this war.
Not so long ago.
Measured with some precision instruments.
Among the enemies faced by the New York military this time, in addition to tens of millions of Rat Nation citizens, there are also millions of mechanical rats.
Through advanced algorithms for surveying, the trajectories of these mechanical rats can be easily detected.
The mechanical rats that exploded from the initial warehouse and then rushed out all belonged to the Stark Group.
As for the one whose name I have never heard of at all, Lan's Machinery Technology Company, the military has not investigated it yet.
On the one hand, the war situation in New York delayed their attention.
On the other hand.
They were all too familiar with Tony Stark. This military partner and his genius brain were really needed and envied by the military.
pity.
This damn rich guy has always been too willful.
Just because he has money, because he has a smart brain, and because he has invented weapons that the military cannot abandon.
Jumping out, being disobedient, or even committing evil acts!!
These are all labels on Tony. This kind of behavior does not look like an attitude of cooperation with the military at all!!
Actually about this.
Many people in the military had complaints about Tony, and now, the opportunity finally came.
There is no need to investigate that Lan's Machinery Technology Company, it will not do them any good at all.
These mechanical rats were manufactured by Stark Industries, and... they must have some evil purpose.
maybe.
It has something to do with these intelligent rats. Stark Industries may have been "invaded" by these intelligent rats.
And in order to protect the interests of mankind.
Stark Industries Group must accept military investigation, and during this investigation...
Regarding the invention patents owned by Tony and the shares within the Stark Group, these must be reallocated.
and!
Because the last chaos in New York was caused by this playboy.
This has made a large number of people dissatisfied with Stark Industries!!
This time.
Because of the problem of the mechanical mouse, the topic once again became entangled with Tony.
Just right.
If Stark Group could be broken up directly!!
Then it will be an extremely good explanation for the people in this city that is about to disappear from history and will be reborn in the newly built New York City with the injection of new capital.
And as for.
The playboy himself.
Of course, the military would not allow him, who has a bright mind, to be sent to a military court.
He will not be severely judged.
But he should use his genius mind to atone for his sins and continue to serve the military, and this time it will be more thorough service.
That’s right!!
Seizing this opportunity, the military intends to swallow Tony directly.
"There is no possibility of any negotiation."
"This opportunity will be of great benefit to the military."
"Seize this time and we will gain..."
Right in the military command room.
The war on the front line was being played on the big screen, and at this time, on the huge square table podium in front of them, there were already red-faced and thick-necked arguments.
Factions in the military are complex.
Not only that, Stark Group has close relations with some people in the military.
The same is true for Hammer Industries, Osborne Group, Pioneer Technology, Roxon Petroleum...
etc!!
These large enterprises, which are not inferior to the Stark Group, also have their own close partners in the military.
Now.
Everyone started to work hard.
A carnival feast has begun.
Seize this opportunity and directly tear apart Stark Industries, which holds a huge share of the entire world.
So.
Regardless of the invention patents involved or the business fields they each undertake, everyone will usher in a leap in profits.
And this is the only one that was damaged.
He is nothing more than that playboy who was disobedient in the past and will be very "obedient" in the future!!
There is no need to negotiate at all.
If the Stark Group has any objections, the wait will be... colluding with the smart mice in an attempt to subvert mankind!!
Such a horrific crime against humanity that cannot be tolerated by all mankind!!
"..."
Cold sweat.
Cold sweat unknowingly covered Rod's dark face!!
Sitting in the corner of the conference room, he felt restless all over.
He didn't want to interrupt at all.
And I don’t know how to interrupt at all.
In terms of his position, as a representative of the military, he has always been responsible for liaison with Stark Industries.
Regarding some new weapons projects, some new military bids, and most matters of the Stark Group, he is in charge of it.
Just like the previous batch.
The Jericho missile developed by Tony was first delivered to the military region where Rhodes was located.
This was also the reason why he took Tony to Afghanistan in the first place.
There was originally going to be a missile display, but with Valon taking the lead, all plans were disrupted.
And now.
Something worse happened.
The fangs of the military were not concealed this time, and all the malice was directed at Tony!
Put aside your position in the military and be Tony's good friend!!
At this time...
Rod had no idea what to do!!
From the beginning, he had a commanding status with a say in the command room, to General Ross being fully responsible.
Now.
Huddled in a corner and not participating in any discussion at all.
But even so.
As the military representative with the closest personal relationship with Stark, and as the Colonel Rhodes who participated in the Daily Bugle rescue operation with the most active attitude during the last New York operation!
inevitable.
It was still besieged by some interested people, or in other words, the division ceremony against Stark Industries had already begun with Rhodes.
"..."
All the military factions present gradually focused their attention!
Numb!!
Don't know what to say at all.
Rhodes, who considered himself to have experienced some big scenes, was really confused at this moment when faced with this embarrassing dilemma.
"Colonel Rhodes!"
"As an important member of the military, think about your responsibilities."
"Shouldn't you make some statement?!"
Very sharp attitude.
At this moment, at this tense stage of the war, there was absolutely no possibility of thinking or discussing countermeasures.
Just let Rhodes do it immediately, he should have an attitude.
"I……"
Rhodes had a dark face. He stood up with his support on the table, his brain working rapidly, hoping to come up with a countermeasure.
A strategy that is good for both him and Tony.
"Hey Rod!"
"My good friend, I heard everything!"
"There's no need to be embarrassed, they're just a bunch of idiots from the military. I'm going to worry about this?!"
A familiar voice suddenly came from the contact headset.
This is……
Tony had hacked into the military system long ago!
It can be said that given his technical level, the situation in the military command room is basically transparent.
before devouring the cake feast.
As a cake, you know your fate in advance...what will happen next?!
"Okay, Tony!"
"What do you want?!"
"The world has changed, for me..."
"The worst case scenario is that I'll quit my job!"
Rhodes looked obviously relaxed, and what happened next was none of his business!
And, Tony...
This playboy who has disappeared for a long time since the last battle in New York, where is he now?!
…
And at the same time.
Howling night wind, in the dark sky!
"Jarvis."
"Put me through Pepper!"
"Okay, sir!"
A virtual box for video communication appeared in front of you.
"Dudu!"
After a short busy tone.
Pepper appears in the screen, and it can be seen that she is very excited now!
"Tony!!"
"What happened, where are you?!"
"You should be in recuperation..."
Big chaos breaks out in New York again.
After receiving the news, Pepper was just rejoicing that Tony was not in New York while he was recovering.
result.
When she put down her work and rushed to Tony's place, she was told that this wayward guy had already run away.
"Oh my God!"
"I obviously gave the doctor a large amount of money, and he promised to keep it a secret for me."
"This bastard!!"
Tony curled his lips, but didn't take it to heart.
He knows.
As long as he ran out, Little Pepper would always find that he had disappeared, but he had to stay in that boring white room.
ah!
The previous period almost drove him crazy.
"Please, Tony!"
"Stop messing around, where are you?!"
Pepper had never been able to say this kind of thing before, but...
Since the last time in New York.
The two people were on the rooftop, from the moment Tony was kicked from the Daily Bugle, to the moment the two people confessed their feelings to each other.
The truth of cherishing the people in front of you was understood by both of them at the same time!
Sometimes.
There are some things that you never say if you hide them in your heart, and there are some things that you never do for various reasons.
Just like what happened at the Daily Bugle.
It's like Tony and Pepper don't want to think about that good uncle!!
Some people will be gone if they say no!!
This gave them great excitement.
It's logical.
Playboy's journey to collect cover girls failed halfway, and Tony and Pepper are together!
"Forehead……"
"I don't want to lie to you, Pepper!"
"I'm in New York, I'll be there soon, I've seen it!"
"It was dark, exactly the same as when I left last time..."
