As the senator finished speaking, Tony looked behind him differently and shouted: "Rhode, what?"
Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes slowly walked in from behind under the gaze of everyone.
Charlotte also turned around and looked back, looking at the lieutenant colonel in front of her. Hey, there was no change.
Tony stood up and walked a few steps towards Rhodes, held his hand and said, "Brother, I didn't expect you to come."
"It's me, I'm here, accept the facts."
"continue."
Rhodes then walked to the audience seat at the far end and sat down.
The senator continued: "This is the complete report that Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes has collected regarding Iron Man's weapons."
"Lieutenant Colonel, please read paragraph 4 on page 57."
Rhodes looked into the microphone in front of him and said with some surprise: "You want me to read a specific paragraph in the report?"
"Yes."
Rhodes glanced at Tony next to him, and then said, "I thought I was here to give a complete and detailed report."
The senator sitting on the stage smiled and said: "I understand, but there are many variables today."
Rhodes held the report in his hand and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "If you read it, you should know that reading out that specific paragraph does not represent the integrity of my report."
"I know, please read it out, Lieutenant Colonel, thank you."
Rhodes took a deep breath: "Okay!"
Then he turned the report to a specific page and said: "Iron Man is not affiliated with any government unit and therefore poses a threat to national security and interests."
"But my conclusion is that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the disadvantages..."
Before Rhodes could finish speaking, the senator on the stage interrupted directly: "That's enough."
Rhodes did not listen to the senator's words and continued: "This is why we are interested in letting Mr. Stark join the military command system."
The senator interrupted again: "That's enough!"
Tony said at this time: "I don't like to join any system, but I can consider becoming the Minister of Defense and working less hours."
Tony's words once again caused laughter on the scene, and Rhodes picked up the water glass and took a sip to demonstrate his embarrassment.
The senator continued: "I want to play the video from your report."
Lord declined: "I don't think it's time to release these videos to the public yet."
"I understand, Lieutenant Colonel."
"But we would be very grateful if you could explain these videos."
Hearing what the senator said, Rhodes said helplessly: "Bring up the video."
Soon, the picture began to play on the electronic screen nearby.
"Intelligence information indicates that the devices in these films are actually knock-offs of Mr. Stark's steel armor."
"This has been confirmed by our allies and intelligence units on the ground."
"It's likely that these steel armors are currently functional."
While watching the video being played, Tony took out his mobile phone and after some operations on it, interrupted:
"Wait a minute, show me."
As he spoke, Tony pointed his phone at the electronic screen in front of him, and soon the program code popped up on the screen, and then something was updated quickly.
"I control your screens, I need them."
"It's time for transparency."
"Let's see what's going on?"
The senator on the stage saw the scene in front of him and asked, "What is he doing?"
While controlling his mobile phone, Tony said: "Please look at the screen, I believe that is North Korea."
Soon the screen showed a steel retard being experimented on. It couldn't even walk normally, and it suddenly opened fire after falling, injuring some of the testing personnel.
The senator on the stage turned to Justin Hammer in the audience and quickly said: "Can you turn it off? Turn it off quickly."
Justin Hammer also noticed something was wrong and quickly got up and walked towards the electronic screen.
Tony on the side would not let go of this opportunity to make the other party look embarrassed, and immediately updated another video.
"This is Iran."
"There is no imminent serious danger, is that Justin Hammer?"
"Why is he also making counterfeit goods?"
"Justin, you're on TV, pay attention."
In the video, Justin was inspecting an anti-Iron Man armor, but the robot turned around and broke his waist.
There was laughter at the scene, and Justin came to the electronic screen, grabbed the connected video cable, and shouted: "Where's the plug, where's the plug."
Soon Justin found the plug and turned off the electronic screen completely.
The entire scene was in an uproar, and the hearing became less serious.
At this time, Tony said: "Most countries will take 5 to 10 years, and Hammer Industries will take at least 20 years."
Justin Hammer quickly ran back to his seat and said: "Let me point out that the driver is not dead."
The senator gratefully spoke up and said, "I think we've seen enough. He's proved his point."
"I don't think that explains..."
Tony interrupted, "I guess I'll just have to say it, you're welcome."
"What's the meaning."
"I can prevent nuclear war as a deterrent. Iron Man is very useful. We are safe and the United States is safe."
"If you want my product, don't even think about it."
"But I have helped you a lot. I can maintain world peace by myself."
As he spoke, Tony stood up and turned to the hearing officers behind him.
At this time, everyone also stood up and gave Tony a round of applause.
"What else do you want from me? This is it now."
Gu Lian
Tony then turned around and pointed at the congressmen on the stage: "I tried to cooperate with those clowns."
When the senator saw Tony calling him a clown, he also cursed in public: "Fuck you, Mr. Stark."
Tony picked up the sunglasses on the table and said with a smile: "Well, you are such a pistachio."
"Listen, I'm all for the people, I'm serving the country based on my own pleasure."
"If I've proven anything to the world, it's that you can absolutely count on me to make yourself happy."
"Now, if there is nothing else to do, then this hearing will be adjourned."
Watching Tony's performance, both Charlotte and Rhodes smiled, except for Justin Hammer, whose face was not so good.
At this time, the congressman on the stage picked up a small hammer and struck the table hard several times.
"Dong dong dong!"
The huge sound silenced the scene.
"OK, Mr. Tony Stark's issue about whether Iron Man is a weapon has come to an end for the time being."
"But there is a second hearing today."
"Please be quiet now."
When he heard that there was a second hearing, Tony was stunned for a moment. He was about to stand up and leave. He stopped, returned to his seat, and sat down. He wanted to see what these clowns were up to.
At this time, the door to the military committee hearing was opened, and a group of soldiers walked in. They came to stand on both sides of the venue with loaded guns and ammunition, and at the same time asked the media present to turn off the live broadcast.
When all live broadcasts were turned off, General Ross walked in and sat in the front row of the hearing.
"The following is the second hearing concerning Mr Charlotte Doyle"
Charlotte was stunned for a moment when she heard her name being called. She thought she was watching a show, or that she was going to testify, so she didn't read the contents of the court summons. She didn't expect that she was also the protagonist.
Tony also looked at Charlotte in surprise, but when he saw Ross walking in, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Mr. Charlotte Doyle, would you like to ask if Stark Industries is conducting research on super soldier serum?"
Charlotte looked at the senators on the stage, frowned slightly, glanced at General Ross who came in and sat aside, and then said: "I didn't see anything about the super soldier serum in the company's financial report.
Research experiments and related financial expenditures.”
"Of course, I am only an individual shareholder of the company. For this kind of matter, I should contact Stark Industries' chairman, Stark or CEO Pepper Potts for confirmation."
Tony picked up the microphone in front of him and said, "Stark Industries is not developing a super soldier serum."
The senator didn't pay attention to what the two said, and then said: "General Ross, the military has some videos, please release them."
At this time, the staff in the audience had connected the power supply of the electronic screen. General Ross nodded and then asked his soldiers to play the video.
Ross appeared at this hearing because during this period, SHIELD had not obtained the body of the Abomination and handed it over to him. In order to cover up the losses he caused, Ross asked the Pentagon to focus on Charlotte.
on the body.
After all, this is a more powerful person than the Abomination, and unlike the previous Hulk and the Abomination, which is uncontrollable and whose behavior is like a broken brain.
This is a powerful individual whose mind has not been affected, and Charlotte is not the only one to have such a change. If the military can master such power, it does not even need to be expanded to the entire army, even a combat team can make it happen.
Other countries bowed at the feet of the U.S. Army.
As the video played, the battle video of Charlotte defeating Abomination was played, and it was different from the previous ones in the media. However, the video was post-processed to make it clearer, and it was more certain that the person fighting was Xia.
Lot Doyle.
Everyone at the scene looked at Charlotte Doyle on the video and at herself sitting in the hearing box. They couldn't believe how powerful the physical body was.
"Mr. Charlotte Doyle, may I ask if your strength is due to your participation in Stark Industries' secret experiments?"
"After all, Mr. Howard was also involved in the enhanced serum that created Captain America."
"If your strength does not come from the serum researched by Stark Industries, where does it come from?"
The two sentences of the senator go to the core of the problem. Either your power comes from the serum researched by Stark Industries. If you admit this problem, the military will find a way to get it from Stark Industries.
something you want.
If not, then you have to explain clearly where your strength comes from.
"Please answer my question, Mr. Charlotte Doyle."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Charlotte's face: "I am a shareholder of Stark Industries, which does not mean that Stark Industries created me."
"Stark Industries did not study the super soldier serum. Instead, other personnel studied the super soldier serum and caused a lot of trouble."
"I'm right, General Ross."
Hearing Charlotte's words, everyone present was in an uproar, looking back and forth between Charlotte and Rose.
Rose's expression did not change at all at this time, and he still sat in the hearing seat without saying a word.
The senator on the stage spoke again: "Mr. Charlotte, you haven't answered yet, how did you obtain such powerful power."
At this time, Charlotte stood up, then looked at the senator on the stage and said, "I have no obligation to tell you how I got this power."
"But since you are so interested, I can tell you straightforwardly."
"I have not received any serum injections. This strength is all obtained by me through my own practice."
The senator said: "I don't believe that so-called spiritual practice can obtain such power. I suspect that you obtained such power through illegal experiments and injecting unapproved serum."
"If it turns out that this is not the case, we will need to do a full-body test on you to confirm that you are ready for the experiment."
After hearing the senator's words, Charlotte understood that these people were waiting for him here. They wanted me to undergo the other party's test. It would be interesting to draw some blood for experiments.
If we create some replicas or clones, it will be a big problem.
"There is no state law that requires citizens to get tested by you."
"And your suspicion cannot be a necessary factor for me to accept the examination."
"Mr. Senator, I have reason to suspect that you are a genetically mutated alien. Can you go to the Charlotte office for a physical examination?"
Charlotte's words caused the audience to burst into laughter.
"Citizens' property is sacred and inviolable."
"My strength and my body are all my property. Why do you want to infringe on my property?"
At this time, Tony, who was sitting next to him, also said: "It's just a joke."
"We at Stark Industries have not developed serum. Even if we have, it is not something you can pry into."
"You also have no right to require anyone to undergo your physical examination without reason."
"Shit, I actually attended a bullshit meeting with a bunch of clowns. This is a waste of my time."
After speaking, Tony stood up directly and motioned to Pepper, Ginny and others behind him to leave together.
Seeing Tony stand up and leave, Charlotte also stood up, and then said: "If you think I broke any law, you can come to me with the police and an arrest warrant."
"But don't use this kind of behavior to test other people's intelligence. It will make me wonder whether our taxpayers' money is wasted by idiots like you."
After speaking, Charlotte did not stop and left the hearing directly.
