Chapter 272 Unparalleled arguments at the hearing

The next day, at 9:00 am.

Tony Stark appeared on time in the government attended by the Military Commission. He sat in the defendant's seat. Although it was the first time, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he kept looking around, greeting Zhou Yi who was sitting behind him, and winking at Pepe Potz on the other side.

Pepe quickly glanced at Tony with a grudge and signaled him to keep the minimum rules in court. But Tony didn't care about this at all. He did his own thing until the members of the MPs who presided over the hearing could not stand it.

"Mr. Stark, can we make the topic just now, Mr. Stark, please." The MP sitting on it knocked the gavel in his hand several times, and even used extremely earnest request words.

"Of course, my dear. Do you have any instructions?" Tony turned his head and looked serious. His tone immediately caused a chuckle in the serious court.

The MP sitting in the judge's seat pretended not to hear these laughters and continued to say seriously.

"Mr. Stark, can you answer my questions honestly?"

"Of course, my dear. By the way, what question are you asking?" Tony naturally wouldn't be honest just by saying one sentence, but he agreed verbally.

The MP, no matter what his attitude was, could he sit in this position and target Tony Stark, how could he not do some prior research on him? So he ignored this frivolous and unjust attitude and said to him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Stark, do you have a special high-tech weapon?"

"No" Tony answered the question with a firm answer, but the MP immediately shouted out loud.

"You said no"

"Yes, no," Tony expressed earnestly as a week. "I'm very sure. Of course, it depends on what you define as a weapon."

"Iron Man is a weapon, Mr. Stark" replied with a squinted eyes, and the MP laughed. He did not think that such a certain fact could be turned over by Tony's clever mouth.

Hearing this, Tony immediately made his expression a little serious. He pulled the microphone in front of him and said solemnly.

“My invention is not a weapon”

"Not counting a weapon" Mr. Senator sat upright. "Then how did you define it? Mr. Stark?"

"What he is is. His Excellency Senator. If I want to say something, it can only be regarded as a high-tech prosthesis." Tony's words immediately attracted a greater laugh, but he still expressed his expression seriously and said to the Senator. "This is the best adjective I can think of, a technological prosthesis. Yes. That's it."

"It's ridiculous, Mr. Stark. It's a weapon, he's a weapon."

Facing Tony's remarks, the Senator could no longer remain indifferent. He increased the volume, overshadowed Tony's voice, and gave his own definition.

“If you are the welfare of the people first…”

Tony naturally could not tolerate his invention being so defined. He had just thought about compiling a vocabulary to refute the Senator. But the Senator had interrupted him.

"No, I give the weapon of Iron Man to the American people first."

It is obvious that a guy like Tony who can only fight for a while is not good at talking.

However, not being able to take advantage does not mean that he will submit, so immediately, he immediately expressed his opinion righteously.

"Don't think about it. I am Iron Man. My steel armor and I are one. If you want me to hand over it, I will hand over myself. So don't think about it. If you force me to do this, I can understand that you are going to force me to serve labor or go to prostitution, which is definitely illegal. Of course, it depends on which state it is. But I think I can use legal means to protect my own interests here. So, to sum up, I can't give it to you, Your Excellency Senator."

After being so confused by Tony, the scene suddenly seemed to be as lively as a hilarious talk show. In this atmosphere, even the senator who is good at talking had no room for further talk. He could only pull up foreign players to continue his plan.

"Listen, I don't know if what you said is true. I don't know if Iron Man is a weapon. I need a weapon expert to give us some advice. Now, I want to summon Justin Hammer, the current major arms dealer in the Ministry of Defense."

When Tony heard this name, he immediately understood who was targeting him. The Ministry of Defense must be one aspect, but the one who instigated the Ministry of Defense must be the shameless Hammer. Only he has the spirit to target him.

You should know that in the past, when Stark was the leader of arms companies, Hammer Industry had been eyeing Stark Industry. However, at that time, Stark and the Ministry of Defense had a better relationship than Hammer Industry. This also led to Hammer Industry having no way to target Stark. But now it is different.

Stark Industries withdrew from the arms field, which led to the market share he left was destined to be divided by the remaining giants. But during this period, Osborne also fell into trouble with his own. So Hammer Industries seized the opportunity and caught up. It became directly the largest supplier of the Ministry of Defense.

However, even though he became the largest arms seller, Hammer Industry finally had a certain gap with Stark Industry. The main gap among them is in cutting-edge weapons. Hammer Industry is a company that made a fortune by light and small individual weapons, and it was originally insufficient in this regard. In addition, the head of Stark Enterprise is a genius who can develop black technology. Naturally, the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

This gap has never been favored by Hanmo Industry. Hanmo Industry itself also has this sense of crisis. He knew that if he wanted to be strong in the position of the boss, he had to have a truly high-tech weapon with cross-generational significance. So Tony's Iron Man suit was naturally targeted by him.

This is a recognized cross-age weapon, and Stark has just shifted from a military-industrial enterprise to an energy enterprise. This has caused it to lose its greatest political capital. If it does not take this opportunity to coerce Stark Industry, there will be no such opportunity in the future.

When he talked about this idea with the people of the Ministry of Defense, both sides could be said to be hit by the way. The Ministry of Defense, which was already unable to get up and down by the Battle of the New York Giants, immediately regarded Hammer's proposal as a change of the military image and reverse the current decline. At the same time, it was also the best way to fill the large number of vacuum areas that appeared after the plan was frozen.

Having the Iron Man armed means that they have countless superheroes. Whether it is public opinion or future war trends, they will begin to tilt towards them. Similarly, as collaborators, Hammer Industry will also successfully take a big step to lay the foundation for its leading military-industry enterprise. So, what reason do they have not to do this?

In the face of interests, no one cannot offend them. Of course, this also includes Tony Stark.

Tony, who guessed the cause and effect, became cautious. He found that this was not a sudden action, but more like a long-planned conspiracy. Therefore, Tony, who could not let the situation be controlled, began to launch the attack first.

"Please forgive me, gentlemen. I only saw Mr. Justin Hammer coming in, but not any so-called weapons expert. You mean, you are joking. Everyone knows that Hammer is just a businessman, not an expert. He may not even be able to dismantle bombs."

The sharp counterattack even made the audience around him talk. However, Justin Hammer, who was well-dressed and smiling, was not angry. He just smiled and said to the microphone in front of him.

"Yes, I'm not an expert. You are, Tony. You've always been a genius in this regard."

As soon as he spoke, not only Tony, but even Zhou Yi couldn't help but wipe his face. It was not the first time they had come into contact with Justin Hammer. They knew very well what kind of guy this was.

This is a guy who has a hundred times better than other abilities. According to Tony, if he has half his lip skills to the weapon developers of Hammer Industry, he probably won't even be an opponent. This is an extreme guy who can only talk big. What he says is almost empty and fake. But that's it, he was welcomed by the Ministry of Defense. For this reason, arms dealers have had a long time ago, that is, they are like alike.

They looked down on this guy's ability, but now at this hearing that only relies on his mouth, they have to admit that this guy is the hardest to deal with.

Justin Hammer frankly acknowledged Tony's identification with him, but immediately refuted this view.

"Compared with a talented person like you, Tony. I really admit that I am not a weapon expert. Indeed, the identity of a businessman is more suitable for me."

If Tony Stark is used as the dividing line, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can call him weapons experts. So when he said this, the audience around him naturally admitted this view. Tony's genius became the other party's weapon at this time.

It was not enough to resist Tony's offensive, and Hanmer began to launch his own counterattack. He stood up, walked to the center of the hearing, and said to the surroundings.

"Senator, please allow me to speak. Maybe I am not an expert, but I know who is the real expert. Tony is your father. Howard Stark. It is not only our parents, but also our father of military industry. You are like him, you are all geniuses. You inherited your father, especially your talent in weapon development."

"We all know what we are here for. For more than half a year, Tony Stark has built a sharp sword, but he insists that it is just a shield. He wants us to trust him and ask us to hide behind him because it will be safe. I really wish I would feel safe, and I really thought so at first. But after the rampant monsters in New York and the huge biological events in Europe, I really can't think so. After all, when we think he can protect us, he didn't show up in front of us. And that's enough."

"I don't mean to blame Mr. Stark. After all, we live in a world full of dangers. Mr. Stark does not necessarily have a way to predict danger, and he may not be able to come over when danger comes. So I can only wonder if it is a different way to let Mr. Stark protect us. Hand over the toys in his hand and give it to those who can protect us more. This may be the right thing to do."

"That's it, everyone. The above is my personal opinion. God bless the United States, God bless Iron Man" to be continued.
