He raised his arm with a grin, and the arm armor opened directly, and a miniature missile appeared from it.
"Be my ex-wife!"
"Huh? Are you married?" Tony knew when he saw that missile. It was a weapon recently promoted by the Hammer Group in addition to the Iron Warriors, the 'Ex-Wife' missile, which is said to be as terrifying as a man's ex-wife. , this is a tracking missile with powerful power. Although he has never seen the actual combat data of this weapon, he still knows a little about its design parameters and knows how much damage this thing will cause if it can really meet the design requirements. "Hey, we can talk! We don't have to..."
Tony knew that Ivan was going to fight for his life!
"Go to hell!!!" Ivan didn't respond to him at all and directly activated the missile.
Seeing that his ex-wife's missile was about to be launched, Tony didn't care to persuade him to surrender and activated the Red Queen again!
Buzz!
A crimson laser shot at Ivan. Ivan had already made an evasive action when the laser was about to be activated, but at the same time his arm was still locked on Tony! Tony gritted his teeth and had no choice but to move the laser and cut across to Ivan!
Ivan's system prompted that he had locked onto Tony, so he was not moving.
He didn't intend to move, he just wanted to die with Tony!
Anyway, he only had a few days to live, so he made the profit!
The laser scratched Ivan's mecha and cut him open from the abdomen! And the ex-wife’s missile also hit Tony!
Ivan could see Tony's horrified expression!
He smiled with satisfaction! Even the severe pain in his body was forgotten by him.
But his smile froze immediately.
Ding!
The ex-wife's missile hit Tony in the chest, and then... it just bounced... away.
It bounced twice on the ground.
The scene was very embarrassing.
Tony lowered his head and looked at the mini missiles that fell to the ground, and then asked Ivan a little uncertainly: "A product of the Hammer Group?"
Ivan's face showed a trace of bitterness, shame, shock, and embarrassment, which was extremely rich.
"Sukabu! Profiteer!!!"
Then Ivan fell to the ground helplessly, looking at the night sky, bitterly recalling his life with a feeling that even he could not describe.
What a failure...
Kai also flew over there, and when he saw Ivan falling to the ground, he flew to Ivan's side.
Ivan is dead.
"Dead." Kai raised his head and looked at Tony.
The expression on Tony's face was very strange. It didn't look like the joy of defeating a powerful enemy, nor did it look like the luck of surviving a catastrophe. Instead, it felt like... he couldn't laugh or cry.
"What's going on?" Kai asked curiously.
Tony hesitated and told Kai what had just happened.
Kai was stunned. How could he still be like this?
Is that Hammer... just here to make fun of you?
Who would have thought that a disaster originally caused by Hammer would end because of Hammer's two knife products.
…
As the news of Tony's defeat of Ivan spread back to the venue, the originally noisy scene in the venue was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly became noisy again with a roar. Screaming, whistling, shouting, jumping, hugging, everyone was excited. Among them, the audience who brought professional camera equipment or captured cherished scenes were even more ecstatic, because they knew that the scenes they shot would definitely attract huge attention, and may even be purchased by TV stations. They are both famous and obtainable. A hefty reward!
It was also in this atmosphere that Kai returned to the venue and led the police to arrest Hammer directly. Now there is no longer a need for the police to laboriously maintain order.
After all, according to federal records, Ivan should be in prison now awaiting trial, but the fact is that Ivan was not only taken out of prison by Hammer! He also helped Hammer create the Iron Warriors, which is no small matter. Let alone the crime of assisting in prison escape, Hammer would not be able to escape.
Of course, this actually doesn't matter. After Ivan said those Iron Warriors were small nuclear bombs, Hammer was finished.
Don't look at the audience who are all ecstatic now and don't care about the 'nuclear bomb' at all, but when they calm down... they will understand how close they are to death. And Kai can imagine that the hospitals in New York will be very busy tomorrow. It is estimated that many people will go for a physical examination to see if they have been affected by radiation.
In short, Kai would have no problem arresting Hammer on any charge now, even if he said Hammer was spitting.
Hammer himself, far from resisting, would be elated.
Because he knew that it was the best outcome for him to be captured by Kai, otherwise he would very likely not see the sun tomorrow. So many people wanted him dead.
Among them, those who wanted him dead the most were his 'friends' who once thought they were his backers.
At the same time, when Stark flew back to the venue, the atmosphere reached its climax!
Tony Stark fulfills all the fantasies the general public has about the "human" side of superheroes! There is a saying that goes like this: Drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, wake up and seize the power of the world. Although the poor cultural background of the old and Americans cannot speak such beautiful sentences, the general things are common.
That man doesn't want to be Stark?
rich! Surrounded by beauties, he is a big capitalist. He can yell at senators at congressional hearings and act unscrupulously, but everyone needs to give in to him. The key is that he also plays with mechas!
What man can resist a robot?
That's a man's romance! ! !
In short, this 'live broadcast' made Tony's fame and support skyrocket!
…
While people are immersed in the 'entertainment' atmosphere, the big guys in Washington, D.C. are not having it so easy.
New York again, nuclear bomb again!
Even though it was not too late, the president and the cabinet officials were not resting, but after hearing these two words, the president and the cabinet felt extremely irritable.
"Tell me how to solve this matter!" The president looked at the Minister of Defense and Deputy Minister with an unkind expression.
Defense Minister Ruth Macmillan and Deputy Minister General Edward Clegg are directly responsible for this matter. After all, it was the contract they signed with Hammer Group!
Of course, the Minister of Defense, Ms. MacMillan, is not too panicked, because she has only been the Minister of Defense for a few years? The people who really promoted cooperation with the Hammer Group were those in the military. She was a civilian and was not involved.
She is a confidant of the president, and the president has been committed to fighting the military-industrial complex. At this point, her and Hammer Group's positions are opposite.
As early as the 1950s, the then US President Dwight David Eisenhower warned the American people in his famous "Farewell Address" to be wary of the harm caused by the "monster" of the "military-industrial complex." However, as time goes by, the United States and Europe, especially the military-industrial complex of the United States, not only have not been restricted, but have been controlling the politics, diplomacy, military and military strategies of the United States and European countries from behind.
Many foreign military operations of the United States are largely influenced by this huge interest group.
The most obvious examples are the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The military expenditures for these two wars are astronomical. But in fact, no one knows how much of this military expenditure is spent on the war, but one thing is certain, that is, the military-industrial complex interest groups eat up a large part of it.
I won’t go into details about these things, otherwise I could definitely write tens of thousands of words and just look them up online, especially the various data on Afghanistan, it’s just amazing. (There are always people licking the United States, saying that domestic corruption is serious and Americans are so incorruptible. Haha, take a look at the expenditure data of the US military in the Afghanistan war. Their food appearance can subvert all three views. Only you dare not think about it. Without them, it would be impossible. Dare to do it)
President Benjamin has been committed to attacking the military-industrial complex. Of course, it is impossible to eliminate this interest group. It can only be suppressed and don't let them lead the US government by the nose.
So McMillan didn't panic at all. Even though the president was scolding him fiercely, she knew exactly who he was targeting.
General Edward Clegg sat on wax.
He is a person who strongly promotes cooperation with the Hammer Group. There is no way. His personal ethics are pretty good, but the problem is a matter of stance, which cannot be measured by personal ethics. He represents some people in the military. If you want to protect your interests, you must stand up and speak out.
After all, this is how they played after World War II.
If something goes wrong now, if the president and the government don’t look for him, who will they look for?
There are also a group of bigwigs in Congress who will also be questioned.
"This... was just an accident." What could General Edward Clegg say? It is impossible to excuse. There were so many people at the scene, and it was broadcast live across the United States! You can't rely on it even if you want to! As long as there was some way, they would have worked hard to suppress the matter. Anyway, it was not that they had never done it before, but this time... it really couldn't work.
"Accident?" Benjamin's face looked ugly. In fact, the president's heart has not been well since the vampire incident. Last time, Kai and the others handled it very well and covered up the fact that there was a nuclear bomb underground in New York. It didn't cause any adverse effects, but it was enough to scare the president. This time is great, live broadcast across the United States! "Go ahead and talk to the New York government! You know, just now, the New York state government and city government called me, and their mayor even scolded me like hell!"
Thinking of the fierce words of New York Mayor Anthony Garcia, Benjamin, a president known for his grace, became a little bit angry. He felt embarrassed to think that he, the president of the United States, was actually being scolded by a mayor under his command, pointing his nose at him like he was scolding his grandson.
Maybe he may be the only president in the United States who has such treatment. I was called and scolded by a mayor.
But what can he say?
The last nuclear bomb incident could be said to be SHIELD's problem.
What about this time?
What's the matter, New York City charges so much federal taxes every year, and this is how the federal government protects them?
They are not as effective as the New York police!
Two such incidents occurred in a short period of time. If it were Benjamin himself, he felt that he would not be more elegant and easy-going than the mayor of New York...
"This time, the military must shoulder its due responsibilities!" The president took the general trend and fired directly at the military!
General Edward Clegg looked gloomy. What could he say?
Of course he doesn't want to see the president take advantage of the military, but the problem is that they have no choice!
The rules of the game are like this. If some things can be covered up, then they will be fine, and the president can't do anything to them, but now... they can't be covered up. If you were just abroad, doing some small tricks to make money, it would be fine even if you couldn't cover it up, but that was in New York.
Unless the military intends to break away from the existing rules of the game, directly control the government, and come to power with a military government!
But doing that will only destroy the entire United States. That is not in the interests of the military. If there is no world hegemony, where will the US military... make money?
So now they have to play by the rules of the game.
If you lose, don't blame the president for taking action.
Such is the nature of the political game that, unless one reaches the end of a dynasty, the cost of breaking the rules is simply too high.
General Edward Clegg nodded: "The Pentagon will investigate this matter."
MacMillan glanced at his partner and knew that General Edward Clegg was ready to swallow the bitter pill.
"Hurry! I need a list for the press conference tomorrow morning." Benjamin couldn't give them time to deal with the aftermath. He needed to take this opportunity to catch them off guard! The military cannot be separated from the government's control, otherwise the United States will be finished sooner or later!
Of course, he didn't intend to kill the military personnel with a single blow. The reason why he gave them one night was to give the military a chance.
It's almost like asking the military to offer corresponding political benefits in exchange for the president's hand in this incident. One night is definitely not enough for the military bosses to launch a scapegoat of sufficient weight. After all, no one wants to be sacrificed. This involves a very complicated exchange of interests and struggle of interests. But if they're willing to pay the price, that's another story.
They are all veterans, so they naturally know what the president means.
General Edward Clegg left the conference room without delay.
After he left, the president said to McMillan: "This investigation into the military will be led by you... You know what to do, right?"
After more than two years of experience, Benjamin has matured a lot and knows what to do to achieve the greatest benefit. Moreover, according to polls, Benjamin's satisfaction in his two years in power is very high. There is no one else who can compete with him. His re-election is basically done. There is no lameness. He has enough prestige and time to implement his own policies.
McMillan has more experience than Mr. President. In fact, because of the character she displayed during the previous terrorist attack on the White House, she has prestige second only to the President. She is likely to become Secretary of State directly after the next election. , as long as you accumulate enough political reputation, it will not be a dream to become the first female president of the United States in the next election!
She naturally knows what to do.
"Yes Mr. President."
"That's good……"
For politicians, all big things are tools that can be used to make profits.
This is politics!
