Monaco!
A city-state located in Europe, it is a highly developed capitalist country with the second-largest land area in the world, only 2 square kilometers, and a national population of less than 40,000.
As one of the four major gambling cities in the world, Monaco has the world-famous Monte Carlo Casino. Its citizens are wealthy and its per capita income ranks among the top in the world.
In the early days, Monaco was a poor country. It became rich after establishing a casino. However, one thing to note is that the Monte Carlo Casino prohibits its own people from entering.
This is very interesting!
70% of Monaco's income comes from casinos, relying on the contributions of gamblers from all over the world to complete the country's prosperity. The wealth of the people is because casinos drive tourism, thereby promoting local economic development.
Facts have once again proved that you should not take chances and gambling cannot make you rich. It will only turn your assets into other people's assets.
Russell understands the truth, so he hates gambling deeply. It has nothing to do with his personal luck. It is a very pure dislike.
No reason, I just hate it!
Therefore, after arriving in Monaco two days before the start of the 'Formula One Championship', he did not go there and just lay dead in the hotel.
At the same time, he also restrained his subordinates from going out to waste money, especially Natasha and Yelena, who were spendthrift owners, and were ordered to stay in the hotel and lie down with him.
On the opening day of the championship, Russell did not enter the competition venue. Instead, he sat in the hotel living room to watch the live TV broadcast and remotely controlled his robotic equipment.
He excitedly put on the holographic helmet, and the 3D visual effect was stunning. It automatically linked to an NS-3 robot on standby. Also on standby was a steel suit.
Remote control of a robot, and then using the robot to control the steel suit, is something most people would never do.
In the living room, there are two live TVs, one is a normal live broadcast, and the other is a private channel. There are on-site personnel in charge of filming Tony Stark throughout the whole process.
"BOSS, Howard's son...has he offended you?" Yelena hesitated for a moment, couldn't bear her curiosity, and asked.
"Why do you say that?"
Russell was confused and said that he and Tony Stark had no enmity, but they could be considered friends because of some common topics.
During the mission in the Lord God Space, Tony taught him how to effectively attack girls with various personalities, which benefited him a lot and he can be called a good teacher and helpful friend.
Although Russell was limited by his talent, he didn't learn any of Tony's tricks, and he still used the same old trick of knocking girls down with money. However, his love of preaching, learning, and solving doubts cannot be denied. Teacher Tony has always been the greatest being in his mind.
"BOSS, Tony Stark attended a hearing a few days ago about the potential threat of the Iron Suit to the national security and interests of the US empire."
"During the hearing, Tony said that in the next 5-10 years, no country or force other than him will be able to successfully develop a mature steel suit."
Speaking of this, Yelena rolled her eyes at someone who was eager to cause damage, and continued: "And now, if you show off your mature steel suit in public, Tony will have a very difficult life in the future. Under great pressure”
"What, you accepted Howard's favor and want to take care of your nephew?"
"No, it's just...well, Tony's mother Maria asked me to help take care of him." Yelena said truthfully.
"Yelena, you are overthinking. I am not doing this to trick Howard's son. On the contrary, I am helping him, creating difficulties for him, giving him opportunities to shine, so that he can break away from the shackles of his plans and become more mature and more mature. steady."
Russell vowed: "I know about superheroes. Judging from my identity and experience, Tony is undoubtedly unqualified and lacks training. His enemies are not only evil villains, but also himself, and those from Pressure from all aspects of society...such as the hearings you mentioned."
Russell had watched the video of the hearing, and personally thought it was quite funny, as if he was cooperating with Tony's performance.
As far as today's science and technology are concerned, the steel suit is very precious, especially when placed on the battlefield. It has strong tactical and strategic significance. It can be used to carry out beheading tactics against the enemy, which can be said to be invincible.
The biggest advantage of the steel suit is not its speed, firepower, or defense, but that it can be manufactured wholesale.
This is the biggest difference between it and super soldier serum products such as Captain America and the Hulk. The latter ones have become unique products that cannot be copied due to various reasons.
But the steel suit is different. In theory, any country can mass-produce it as long as it obtains technical data.
The performance of steel suits is excellent. Once a country has a large number of steel soldiers, it will leave other countries far behind in the arms race.
Therefore, it is natural for Tony Stark to be targeted by the US military, and the hearing came about because of this.
This hearing is a standard example of someone who is greedy for others' bodies, unwilling to admit that he is lowly, wanting to make money in the sea, but cherishing his feathers and reputation.
It can be done secretly, but it must be carried out under the banner of serving the country and the people and erecting a great and upright image.
Of course, this is also related to the national conditions of the American empire. After all, the Stark Group has money!
"Yelena, you only saw that I deliberately dug a hole for Tony to jump into, but you didn't see the deeper meaning. This is not a simple hole, maybe it is a bit deep, but as long as Tony can climb out, the road of superheroes will be smooth in the future. a lot of……"
Russell was still chattering, and he was also despicable. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was bored and looking for something to kill his time, but he refused to admit it and insisted on mechanically explaining some big principles.
"BOSS, the game is about to begin."
"OK, let's stop talking about it now. I'll teach you a lesson after I finish this game."
Russell decisively stopped speaking and remotely activated the robot and steel suit, preparing for justice to come from the sky and let Tony feel the deep love of his elders.
But soon, he wordlessly took off his helmet, pointed at the TV that broadcast the private channel, and asked Natasha: "What's going on? Is that your cousin's aunt?"
In the camera, Tony Stark looks like a dog, looking energetic and far away from death.
There are two beauties beside him, one is a business wizard who turned from assistant to manager, then to president and finally to the chairman's wife - Pepper Potts.
There is also a red-haired beauty with big waves, whose appearance is 70% similar to Natasha's. At a glance, it reminds people of words such as vixen.
Looking at her, she doesn't look like a woman from a good family.
Russell thought with his toes and could guess that this was Natasha's clone, but he didn't know the clone's current identity.
"BOSS, she works for SHIELD and is your clone's order." Natasha explained.
"Have it?"
Russell blinked and remembered the file given to him by the shadow clone two days ago, recording major and minor events over the past fifteen years. It seemed that there was such a thing.
A guy with a bad personality doesn't know what he's trying to do!
Russell shook his head secretly. The clone must have suffered from heat stroke. He actually made such a boring arrangement. Isn't this a stab at Nick Fury?
Speaking of Nick Fury, this person is the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
When the former director Alexander Pierce resigned, he presented several backup heirs to the clone. With a wave of his hand, the clone picked out black coal from countless gold and appointed him to become the new director.
Something doesn't sound right, but it's normal for higher-level departments to make personnel arrangements and transfers to lower-level departments, all for the orderly development of the company.
Nick Fury lived up to his clone's high regard. Within a few years of taking office, he brought in a large sum of money for SHIELD. He took part of it, and most of the rest was used for the economic construction of the higher-level departments, and he trained a large number of nine-year-olds. The head snake is the middle and grassroots cadres.
Great credit for hard work!
Nick Fury is indispensable for the development and growth of Hydra in the past ten years.
He was a very capable person. Russell was thinking about chatting with him one day and whether he would be willing to work in the higher-level department. After all, he had put in so much effort and it would not be a problem to keep it a secret.
Not willing?
If you don't want this director, don't do it!
Putting on the helmet, Russell activated the steel suit.
Due to historical changes, the Ark Reactor similar to the cold nuclear reactor was completed independently by Howard, downplaying the role of Anton Vanko. This deviation directly led to the fact that there was no hatred between the fathers of 'Whiplash' Ivan Vanko and Tony, and also There will be no revenge incident at the racing track.
Without an important villain to appear on the stage, Russell can only do it by himself. Although he is seriously lacking in experience, if he just controls the armor and fights, he can still do the job.
…
At the competition venue, Tony looked at the terrible number of blood toxicity exceeding 50% on the detector, and spent a lot of money after being silent for a long time.
He bought a team and temporarily replaced the driver as the owner and entered as a competitor.
"Sir, I don't think it's appropriate for you to do this."
A bloated NS-3 model robot stood next to Tony, persuading him slowly and slowly.
This is a modified NS-3, which was personally operated by Tony. In addition to redesigning the surface armor, the internal program was also replaced with a subroutine of the computer butler Jarvis, who is always with him every day.
Tony put on his helmet: "I promise, it's just this once and I won't do it again!"
"No, I am saying that you should not continue to hide the matter of your poisoning from Ms. Potts."
"I know, another day... I'm looking for an opportunity."
