Immediately afterwards, he saw Stark taking out a cigarette and throwing it into the air. In an instant, a pair of blue and silver thin mechas were armed on his body. Rhodes swallowed
He swallowed and said, "Give me one, thank you."
On the other side, General Johnson had just climbed back into the cockpit of a huge robot, and what appeared in his field of vision was a fist as big as a sandbag.
Iron Man was about to deal with Johnson with Rhodes, but was stopped by the Iron Monster who stood up again. He heard Obadiah say: "Do you know? The things I told you about your father,
Most of them are not true."
"In fact, he smokes and drinks, hangs out with women, daydreams all day long, is good at sudden ideas, and after messing up a lot of things, he will only let others clean up the mess for him."
"I made up all those heroic stories about him. He is actually a complete bastard."
"But do you know how I stopped him when he opened his mouth to come up with another stupid idea?"
Iron Man had a bad feeling, but before he could answer, a fist as big as a sandbag appeared in his field of vision.
Looking at Iron Man flying upside down, Little Spider rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, now the question is, who should we help?"
Captain America patted his shield and said: "I think Obadiah is right. After all, he is Stark's elder and has more reason to beat him up than I do."
"But it doesn't look good for us to look like this, right?"
"Then let's not look at it and let's go. There are still injured people who need to be carried into the ambulance."
On the other side, Iron Man got up dizzy from a pile of steel bars and said: "Wait! Uncle...well, Howard is a bad person, and so am I! But I think there is a better solution than this method.
, I think we can sit down and talk! Or hold a board of directors or something, don’t always solve problems with your fists..."
"You are even less qualified to say this."
With a roar from the Iron Monster, the huge robot jumped up and landed in front of him. The shadow enveloped Iron Man's armor. Obadiah said: "You will soon understand what this iron shell of yours is about."
It’s useless even if you change its appearance.”
Iron Man was helpless. Obadiah seemed determined to beat him up, and his anger also rose. He said: "You will soon know if it just changed its appearance!"
As he spoke, he dodged the giant steel monster's fist as nimbly as a flying bird. Almost in an instant, he flew behind the steel monster and punched it on the back.
The steel monster waved backhand, and Stark dodged again. Although his current armor was thinner and lighter, the power system was modified to be faster and more flexible.
He stretched out his palm, and the steel bars in the ruins next to him began to tremble slightly, and then flew up in an instant, pointing directly at the steel monster. Jarvis said to Stark: "The magnetic control system is still being upgraded, and high frequencies cannot be used.
is running, and the energy is about to be exhausted..."
Stark clenched his fist and the steel bar flew out towards the steel monster.
Obadiah obviously did not expect this move. After all, Iron Man's original style is that of a warrior. In addition to the palm cannon, he spends most of his time shaking fists with the enemy. But now this silver and blue mecha,
Make him look more like a mage.
As Stark's arms swung, the steel bars quickly shot towards the steel monster. Obadiah only had time to control the mecha and dodge most of the steel bars on the left side, but a few of them still hit his armor.
Right arm.
But he was much more decisive. The moment he was hit, he used the force to jump out and hit Iron Man in the air with an uppercut.
Iron Man's mecha emitted a series of sparks. Not to be outdone, he dived directly in reverse and punched the Iron Monster in the neck. The Iron Monster shook slightly, grabbed one of Iron Man's legs, and pushed him
Throw it out.
Iron Man was shocked again, and it happened that the place where he landed was the battlefield between Rhodes and General Johnson. Rhodes was also at a disadvantage. Iron Man shouted: "Come on! Exchange opponents, let's start the second half!
"
This was a correct decision. Rhodes' mecha was more powerful, but he faced General Johnson. The huge mecha had eight tentacles. If he was not fast enough, he would be violently pulled out. Indeed, Stark's body
A more flexible mecha would be better to deal with.
So, Rhodes stabilized his body, lifted up and dived, flying towards Obadiah's steel monster.
After choosing the right opponent, the battle situation began to become clear. Stark used his high mobility to directly remove more than half of the tentacles on General Johnson's back. Without the tentacles to assist movement, Johnson's mecha became a
The real tin can became Iron Man's punching bag and started to burst into flames after a few punches.
Most of the robots he summoned were quickly dispatched by Stark using his high speed.
On the other side, Rhodes had a head-on confrontation with the steel monster. Although it was uncomfortable, the steel monster's legs had already malfunctioned in the previous explosion. After a few rounds, the steel monster fell to the ground and seemed unable to stand up again.
.
Rhodes walked up to Iron Man and said: "I once heard my former boss, General Andro, mention that he knew your father when he was young, but I don't know what happened."
"Howard is that damn despicable person! He used orders from the military to win over old Andro! Originally, I wasn't supposed to be a minor major general in the Air Force!"
"That doesn't matter anymore." Stark said, "I'm afraid you can't even become a major general now."
"Everyone knows that only Iron Man can build these mechas. I use the technology you gave to the military. As long as..."
"No, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that although Howard is a bad person, I think there is indeed something worth learning from him. For example, finding the right partner in the military, of course, is not you.
…”
"Aren't you going to shut down Stark's weapons manufacturing department?"
"Where did you hear the rumor?"
Johnson turned to look at Obadiah's mecha.
"Did my uncle tell you?"
"Then did he tell you that every Stark is like this? We are very fickle. Just a few minutes ago, I changed my mind. Not only will I not close Stark's weapons manufacturing department, I also plan to officially
Working with the military, I happen to have a few ideas about individual soldier exoskeletons and auxiliary support systems for medical use..."
"No! You can't do this! Damn it, I have already promised Hammer Military Industry..."
"A fool will always find another fool." Obadiah's voice came from the distance again.
Johnson's mecha exploded with a series of sparks, and it was obvious that he had hammered something inside.
"It seems that these mechas were made for you by the Hanmer military industry, but with all due respect, these gadgets have long been outdated."
"Yeah, you only handed over outdated technology to Rod." Johnson still hasn't forgotten to sow discord.
Rhodes crossed his arms and said, "He just gave me a cigarette, a very fashionable cigarette."
Stark didn't talk nonsense to Johnson anymore. He walked to the side of the collapsed steel monster, and then opened the cockpit. Obadiah was lying inside. He didn't seem to be injured in appearance, but his face was very bad. He looked...
Like dying.
"Doctor! I need a doctor!"
Schiller appeared in response. He spread his hands and said, "I guess you don't need me as a psychiatrist."
"Of course, but stop talking nonsense and send him to the hospital quickly."
The symbiote said to Schiller in his mind: "His heart..."
Schiller felt Obadiah's pulse and found that his heart rate was indeed very wrong. Obadiah coughed and said, "The external energy core is not enough to drive such a behemoth..."
"Have you tampered with your heart?" Schiller asked.
Stark anxiously pulled open Obadiah's shirt and found that there was indeed a scar on his chest. He said anxiously: "Hurry up! Send him back to my laboratory first! ... Damn it, biomachinery.
This road simply doesn’t work! It’s simply overdrafting your life!”
"You are as arbitrary as your father and never listen to other people's opinions..." Obadiah said, but seeing the blood flowing from Stark's forehead, he finally said nothing.
"You send him back first. It just so happens that I know a pretty good neurosurgeon. You will see him in Stark Tower later."
After Schiller and Stark left, only General Johnson and Rhodes were left on the battlefield. Johnson was yelling crazily: "You damn lunatic! Rhodes! Don't you know that a soldier's duty is to obey orders?"
Really? I am your top now! That old Andro has retired and gone away long ago!"
"Yes, I retired honorably as a general, and got a high-paying sinecure in Congress. With a large pension, I went to Hawaii for two months last winter, and my granddaughter just got admitted to Harvard..."
Johnson's mecha let out another violent explosion.
After a while, he said: "You will regret it, Rhodes. Stark has never been trustworthy. You will regret becoming his friend."
"They are selfish, sensitive, suspicious, and will destroy everything sooner or later. They have a genius brain that can save themselves, but they will not save you, nor will they save a watchdog."
Rhodes took off his mecha, walked out of it, and looked around.
The place has been completely reduced to ruins. Not far away, Little Spider and Captain America are loading the wounded into ambulances. Most of the people evacuated in an orderly manner, but many were injured by the aftermath of the explosion during the escape.
Arrived, this meeting has just been rescued.
New York is very big, and the aftermath of this battle only affected a few nearby streets. The roads further away were still bustling with vehicles and pedestrians.
Soon, a purple-red glow lit up at the end of the sky, and dawn was about to arrive.
"You're right, Stark is a bunch of bad people, impulsive, willful, never considering the consequences of doing things, waiting for others to clean up their mess, but Iron Man is different..."
Rhodes looked at the light at the end of the sky. He reached out, took off his epaulette, looked down, pinched it on his fingertips, and then threw it into Johnson's face.
