Marvel: I can extract props from the heavens

Stark, who usually ignored these annoying officials, decided to attend the hearing in person this time. He wanted to let those people know that just because he didn't speak out, it didn't mean he was easy to bully.

Washington DC.

A meeting called the 'Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing on the Uniform Defense Plan' is being held.

It's a mouthful, but as soon as you hear this bad name, you can tell that it's for Stark's steel suit.

The high-spirited Stark was not afraid of these well-dressed government officials. Senator Stern, who was sitting in the center of the rostrum, as the main initiator of this hearing and a high-level representative of the government department, was very interested in Stark. Tucker became verbally aggressive.

Shang Wen was very familiar with him. Although he didn't remember his name, Shang Wen was deeply impressed by this man's mean sausage mouth.

Hydra is a chess piece used to infiltrate high-level government officials. He is not only a senator, but also the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. This political position alone is scary enough. He has appeared in several Marvel movies.

The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate have military committees. The House of Representatives is responsible for supervision, and the Senate is responsible for appointments. Even the Secretary of Defense needs to be voted by these people. It can be said that his power is not ordinary.

Stern kept shouting Stark's name, trying to get the arrogant guy's attention back to the scene from the female assistant.

"Mr. Stark, we're all busy, so let's skip the mitigation nonsense and get straight to the point of asking if you have a special weapon at your disposal."

The reason why Stark can't quarrel with Shang Wen is because Shang Wen knows too much, but when it comes to quarreling with other people, Stark has always been the master, and he doesn't take issue with Stern at all.

"What special weapon? Of course I don't have weapons, I'm a law-abiding businessman, you mean steel suit? Is that also called a weapon? Of course it's not a weapon. It depends on how you define a weapon and a steel suit. For me, it's just a high-tech prosthetic limb."

Everyone at the table, including Shang Wen, laughed.

"This is a weapon, Mr. Stark, and you should give it to the American people if you still put their interests first."

Stern has made no secret of it, and Stark has done his part.

"Dream on, don't even think about it. I am Iron Man, and that suit is also Iron Man. Handing over the suit means handing over myself. Do you think I am a man who can do his best, Mr. Congressman?"

Shang Wen sat in the back and felt it more clearly as a bystander. What Stern said was very **. If you like other people's things, you will move them out and ask for it to be handed over to the American people for the sake of justice.

Stern knows that he can't defeat Stark. , and because of his identity, he cannot say too much, so he plans to send someone with a similar identity to the other party.

"I'm not an expert in this area..."

"which aspect? Is it possible for everyone to do their best? Of course you're not, you're a senator"

"I said, I am not an expert in weapons, but I invited a weapons expert, Mr. Justin Hammer, to talk about the details today."

Only then did Stark know that after he stopped producing weapons, Hammer Industries took over his position as the general contractor of weapons for the Ministry of Defense, and this guy also thought about making his own suit.

"who? Justin Hammer? I know him, a lousy weapons dealer, a minor character trembling in my shadow. What about weapons experts? where? I didn't see it."

Hammer came prepared. He was not angry at all when faced with Stark's contempt. Instead, he followed his words.

"Of course, I'm not a weapons expert, but you're not Tony either, and you know who is? Your father, Mr. Howard Stark, is the real weapons expert. He is the predecessor of all of us and the father of the military industry.

But everything Mr. Howard has researched has been used to create peace for the American people. Stark, more than a month ago, you created a secret weapon, but now you insist on saying that it is for defense, and you still want to keep people in the dark. The fearful Americans believe you. The United States is in danger at any time, and the safety of the American people cannot be pinned on your thoughts."

First raise and then suppress, with this kind of verbal confrontation, Stark didn't even take it seriously, but Senator Stern unexpectedly invited Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes, which surprised Stark.

More What Stark didn't expect was that Stern asked Rhodes by name to read out the report he submitted to the Ministry of Defense, and only allowed him to read the fourth paragraph on page 57, which was an aboveboard joke. Quotes out of context.

In the face of such blatant roguery, Stark would have had countless ways to win back the city by being cunning, but as a soldier who acted under orders, Rhodes repeatedly reiterated that what he read out could not represent the complete meaning. After that, I had no choice but to obey.
