My last name is Stark after I changed my job to become a female musketeer?

Just when the two were in a dilemma, Leni's cell phone rang in her pocket. When she took it out, she found that it was Tony who was staying at home.

"It's Tony."

Showing the caller ID to Pepper and obtaining the other party's consent, Leni answered the call.

"Tony? Sister Pepper and I are together. What do you want on the phone?"

Leni first hinted to Tony about the situation here and pressed the speakerphone so that Pepper could also hear what was being said over there.

Tony also understood Leni's meaning, and did not mention his own physical problems, but asked about Pepper's situation.

"You called just in time. We have something very important to tell you, and we may need you to make up your mind."

Not wanting to end the conversation with the other party, Leni glanced at Pepper and told Tony straight to the point that Hammer Industries planned to reveal a new weapon system at the Stark Expo.

"I think this matter has something to do with Ivan Vanko. Justin Hammer is not capable of developing any new weapon systems by himself.

And judging from the current information, this so-called weapon system not only involves the US Army, but also the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.

This guy has even considered the Marine Corps. I'm afraid Ivan Vanko has really come up with something terrible! "

Tony over there was also a little surprised when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"That guy Ivan Vanke should not completely hand over his technology to Hammer. They should have a cooperative relationship, otherwise that guy Hammer will definitely kick him out."

"I think so too. With that guy Ivan Vanke's intelligence, he won't do such a thing of digging his own grave.

But if Hammer really gets the limelight at the expo, I'm afraid there will be a lot of pressure on your side. "

"So we want you to make the decision."

Pepper directly told each other their purpose.

Tony touched his chin, weighed it over and over again and finally made a decision.

"Let him drive! Instead of being timid, it's better to make a sudden attack.

Since this guy Hammer wants to use my stage to sing, then I will sing with him and have a great time! "

Leni and Pepper looked at each other, and both saw such an expression on the other's face.

Pepper said concisely: "In this case, I know, I will make preparations with the expo in advance to prevent the people from Hammer Industries from jumping over the wall."

"What do you need me to do?"

Leni looked at her phone and then at Pepper.

So what should I do?

"Hammer's exhibition doesn't start until tomorrow night. Pepper, take Natalie there first. Leni, come back. We need to study this matter first."

"Okay, then I understand."

The matter was finalized, so there was no need to delay any longer. Leni and Pepper said hello and stood up to leave.

But when I walked to the door, I noticed a pile of things piled in the corner.

Only then did Leni remember the purpose of coming here this time.

Walk over and lift up the canvas covering the 1974 Stark Industries Expo, revealing its original appearance.

"Sister Pepper, I also took these things with me. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

After putting this big guy and several boxes containing miscellaneous items into the void warehouse, Leni put on her frosty face again and left the president's office.

…

"I'm back!"

Leni, who returned to the basement of the villa, first found a relatively conspicuous place to put the set of models, and then turned her head to look at Tony, who was frowning.

"I brought your things back by the way, do you have any ideas?"

“Although Justin Hammer’s suit stretches the hips, the basic design and action layout are quite reasonable.

If Ivan Vanko helps him solve the problem of energy sources, he might be able to create a steel suit. "

Leni looked at the various data about Hammer Industries listed by Jarvis on the side screen.

"But after what happened to him before, no one is willing to let him be the test pilot of the armor anymore."

Tony nodded, and he agreed with Leni's statement.

"That Hammer guy can be a jackass sometimes, but Ivan Vanko is not. I think he might give up on using artificial control over the Iron Suit."

"You mean...remotely controlled drone?"

Leni couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

With just this bit of information, I was able to analyze the design of Ivan Vanko's remote-controlled Iron Soldier in the original work. Tony is worthy of being one of the smartest people in Marvel.

"It should be true. Judging from the current news, that idiot Hammer still failed to recruit volunteers. Therefore, remote control is the only way to make the steel suit move.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Ivan Vanko did not personally participate in the battle. "

"Do you need me to go over and protect Pepper? And are our manpower too short?"

Leni knew who among these people Tony was most worried about.

If it comes to that, Pepper must be protected.

Tony was silent, this was indeed the most difficult problem.

If there are too many tourists tomorrow night, and if there is a serious stampede, Stark Industries' stock will have to fall to the limit.

"What do you think?"

Noticing the hesitant expression on Leni's face, Tony signaled him to speak quickly if he had anything to say.

"I wonder if you could ask Colonel Rhodes to join in."

Leni had actually wanted to say this for a long time.

Because of her butterfly, the birthday party Tony originally planned to hold turned into a private gathering.

Roddy also failed to take away the Mark 2 armor from the basement, so the superhero War Machine was stillborn before he could make his debut.

If Tony is allowed to face Ivan Vanko alone by then, I am afraid that he will eventually fall into the trap set by the opponent due to being attacked from both sides.

"Rody?"

Tony frowned, wasn't this a slap in the face?

Seeing that the other party looked unhappy, Leni quickly explained:

“That’s right, I think now that this matter has been revealed, no matter how we deal with it, the leakage of Ark Reactor technology will eventually be exposed to social media.

So instead of letting them criticize us verbally, it is better for us to attack with force.

Colonel Rhodes is actually right, you don't have to carry this pressure alone.

Now that things have come to this, it is better to draw him in directly and let him be the mediator between us and the military.

We are currently short of manpower. If we want to deal with Ivan Vanke and Justin Hammer, just you and me are obviously not enough.

But if Colonel Rhodes also puts on your steel suit, then at least you can let him assist you.

With your tacit understanding, I don't think it's a problem to deal with them, and I can free up my hands and feet to protect Pepper.

At the same time, Colonel Rhodes can help you take the pressure off in the long run.

When facing difficulties from the military, his status as an Air Force colonel can also help us completely silence those guys.

As long as you can lock the authority of this armor system to Colonel Rhodes, no matter how hard they try, they will only get an empty shell in the end.

At worst, add a self-destruct program to the armor so that if any illegal intrusion is discovered, they will be killed directly! "

Hearing this, Tony was silent for a while. In fact, he had indeed considered letting Roddy join before.

If it's like Leni said, it's not completely impossible.

Seeing that the other party was already interested, Leni hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"Jarvis?"

"If Mr. Stark needs to set up a permission lock, I guess that's not a problem."

Looking at Leni's eager face, and then looking at the screen, Jarvis gave the simulation program of the armor entering the self-destruction program after being illegally invaded.

Tony sighed and nodded in agreement.

"You've already said that, what else can I say, but the money for this suit of armor must be borne by you!"

Leni breathed a sigh of relief, it's just money, it's trivial, she is more or less a rich woman now, it's just a suit of armor, it's not a problem.

"The Mark 2 is almost 140 million. I don't want any change. I'll give you 100 million."

"How much?! 140 million? Then you'd better kill me."

…

Asking Jarvis to notify Colonel Rhodes to come to the villa, Tony began to prepare to dismantle the Mark 2.

There is no weapon system installed on this prototype of the armor, and all configurations are still the most primitive.

Now that we have decided to join Larodi, we need to spend some money.

But just when he was about to ask Leni to move the Mark 2 out of the display cabinet, he glanced at the pile of things the other party brought back.

Especially when he saw the exposition model that was deliberately placed in a conspicuous position, Tony was stunned in place.
