The Natural Disaster Mixed In Marvel
Chapter 187 Hearing
Chapter 187 Hearing
Angelo and Stark came to the White House, where today's hearing will be held.
The Military Commission is a government agency under the Congress. Naturally, it is fully committed to holding congressional hearings at the White House. Many relevant American politicians will also come here to participate in the hearings.
When Angelo and Stark arrived at the White House, Pepper was already waiting for them in front of the White House. Originally, Pepper didn't need it, and the subpoena for the hearing was only for Angelo and Stark.
But Pepper happened to be in Washington on official business, and she was worried that Stark would cause trouble at the congressional hearing, so she came here early in the morning.
As one of the top chaebols in the United States, the Stark Group has great influence in the upper class of the United States. As the current CEO, it is not difficult for Pepper to obtain a qualification to be an observer.
"Pepper, why are you here?" Stark saw Pepper coming, and immediately went up to him.
Pepper glanced at him worriedly, and couldn't care less about being angry with Stark, "I'm here to listen, Tony, you..."
At this time Angelo came over, interjected indifferently, "Pepper, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Angelo is right, there's no problem, don't worry, Pepper." Stark hugged Pepper and comforted him. "I'm Stark, I can handle it."
Pepper really has nothing to do with Stark's trick. All the words at the moment were blocked by Stark's hug. Originally, she also wanted to say that if the members of the Military Committee were too persuasive in the congressional hearings, the Stark Group would stand by Tony's side and let the Military Committee cast a mouse...
The three walked into the hearing together, because the auditorium and the seats of the parties were not together, so Pepper could only go to the auditorium to take a seat first.
And Angelo and Stark came to the seats of the parties.
At this time, the cameras of the American national television station had already been set up, and they were waiting for the opening of the show to start the live broadcast.
Stark noticed the male reporter from the TV station. He looked familiar. He took out his mobile phone and checked on it, only to find that this male reporter was Eddie who broadcast the whole process when they beat Abomination in the Empire State Building last time!
Seeing the old acquaintance, Stark also reached out to say hello to him.
Seeing that the rich man Stark actually greeted himself, Eddie excitedly greeted Stark as well.
I have been promoted now, thanks to the live broadcast on the Empire State Building last time, in other words, it was Iron Man and Father Hell who promoted me, so this time I heard that the military committee subpoenaed Iron Man Hell and Father Hell, Eddie will immediately ask the station to help him live broadcast.
Maybe, relying on the convenience of this exclusive live broadcast, maybe I can still go up a step? Eddie is dreaming...
"What? You know him, Stark?" Angelo asked Stark after sitting down side by side with Stark.
Stark handed Angelo his mobile phone, "Not only do I know it, but you do too."
Angelo found Stark's mobile phone, and the information displayed on the mobile phone screen was the male reporter's information - Eddie Brock...
Angelo glanced roughly, and also found that this guy was the same TV reporter who broadcast live to them on the top floor of the Empire State Building last time.
Well, and a lawyer girlfriend.
Other than that, there isn't anything worth noting.
Angelo didn't care either, but waved in Eddie's direction to say hello, and then ignored him.
...
In the auditorium, besides Pepper, there is another person, that is Justin Hammer.
The Stark Group can get an auditorium seat, and as Hammer Industries, which is second only to the Stark Group, naturally can also get an auditorium seat.
But Justin Hammer came here today, not to listen in. He was invited by the military committee to attend the hearing as a witness and an expert. At the last moment, he gave Tony Stark a gentle push. Let him never turn over!
Seeing the "arrogant" behavior of Tony Stark and Angelo waving at the camera, Justin Hammer gritted his teeth secretly, thinking how you will die soon!
It's still a live TV broadcast, and it will definitely make you a complete failure in front of people all over the world!
...
Accompanied by the sound of a mallet hitting a wooden board, the hearing was held on time.
Angelo and Stark sat on the parties' seats, their postures were surprisingly consistent, and they all looked like they didn't care at all.
This made the congressmen who presided over the hearing secretly furious.
"Mr. Stark, Mr. Angelo." A fat congressman struck the gavel twice vigorously, "Can you listen to me seriously?"
"Well, I'm here." Stark said perfunctorily, "Okay, no problem."
After all, Stark turned back and gave Pepper a reassuring look.
Angelo also shrugged indifferently, and sat up a little bit to show that he was listening, but the yawn he yawned immediately made his actions look insincere.
Angelo didn't expect that this so-called hearing would be so boring.
Not to mention quarreling or fighting, these councilors didn't even dare to swear, in order to ensure their image, they could only fight over and over again.
Even if he was annoyed by his and Stark's attitude, at most he just took a look at the table with the small wooden hammer in his hand.
An Qiluo couldn't figure it out, these people climbed so high just to make their lives so uncomfortable?
"Tony Stark, do you have a special weapon?" The fat congressman didn't bother to pay attention to Angelo's attitude. He had already learned about Angelo's oil and salt, and directly pointed the contradiction at Tony Stark. Stark.
Stark sat up straight at this time, picked up the microphone and said to the camera, "No, I didn't."
"You didn't?" the fat congressman asked back.
"Yes, I didn't," Stark said.
"However, Iron Man is a weapon." The fat councilor had a smile on his face. Their plan was simple, but also very effective.
Just in front of the camera, use moral justice to kidnap Stark and force Stark to hand over his steel suit technology.
"No, my invention is not considered a weapon." Stark shook his head.
"Then what do you call your invention?"
Stark shrugged, and said with a relaxed face, "Senate, it is what it should be, um... I think it is a new type of high-tech prosthetic."
Suddenly, the people in the auditorium burst into laughter.
This made the fat congressman's face a bit ugly.
If Stark really implements the category of high-tech prosthetics, there will be no reason for the military to force Stark to hand over the steel suit.
"Iron Man is a weapon, a weapon." The fat congressman said quickly, pointing to the camera again, "I propose to give this weapon to the American people."
"Don't even think about it!" Stark flatly refused, staring at the fat congressman and said, "I said, Iron Man is not a weapon, I am Iron Man, I and Iron Man are one, handing over Iron Man is handing over Myself, maybe this congressman wants me to do servitude or prostitution? It's not legal in Washington state or New York state."
Immediately, even louder laughter erupted in the auditorium, and the reporters in the auditorium excitedly took out their flashlights and started shooting non-stop.
Listening to the smell of gunpowder in Tony Stark's tone, Tony Stark is going to make a big deal! Although they didn't get the right to live broadcast, but it's not too bad now, tomorrow's headlines will come soon!
Angelo also almost laughed out loud, Stark's mouth was still so poisonous, seeing the expression on the face of the congressman on stage, Angelo was worried that the other party would be overwhelmed with anger.
President Ellis, who was watching live TV upstairs, saw this scene and put a smile on his face. He was very happy to see these congressmen being attacked by Stark. These congressmen were not in the same faction as him, so in the past, What these congressmen did more was to unite faction members and put pressure on him to sign some orders that he didn't like.
Seeing that the fat congressman couldn't speak to Stark, Stark could just say things like prostitution without caring about his image, but he couldn't.
"Listen, I'm not an expert..."
Stark didn't save any face for the fat senator, "Prostitution expert? Of course you're not, you're a senator."
Suddenly louder laughter broke out from the audience.
"So, I'm going to subpoena our witnesses to prove that the Iron Man that Tony Stark said is a weapon, not a high-tech prosthetic."
The fat congressman stared into Stark's eyes and said, this was rehearsed by the military committee before. Obviously, they had realized that Stark could not obediently hand over the steel armor.
"Justin Hammer, a weapons supplier to the Ministry of Defense, and the CEO of Hammer Industries."
A man with glasses and a gloomy expression stood out from the crowd.
"Hi everyone, I'm Justin..."
Before Justin Hammer finished speaking, Stark also stood up and interrupted the other party, and said to the reporters present, "Please record that I saw Mr. Hammer stand up, and I was thinking, I didn't see any Weapons expert."
Having said that, Stark's heart is still sinking.
Of course he knew Justin Hammer. Although he looked down on Hammer Industries, the arrival of the other party can already explain some problems.
After Stark sat down, he began to fiddle with the phone.
Justin Hammer thought he could finally stand in front of Stark as a winner, but he was interrupted by Stark again.
He couldn't help but twitched his face twice, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief, adjusted his mentality and walked to the rostrum to sit down again.
"Do you need me to kill him?" Angelo approached Angelo and said, and he was ready to throw a curse of aging at Justin Hammer at any time. Against such an ordinary person, a curse of aging is enough to make him unclear on the spot Bai died suddenly.
Stark looked at the content he had just found on his phone, and looked up at Justin Hammer again, as if he was looking at a clown.
"No, let him talk." Stark smiled and shook his head at Angelo.
"Senate, please let me speak." Justin Hammer stood up gracefully, "I am not a weapon expert, everyone knows who is the real weapon expert, that is Tony Stark... father, Howard Stark .”
Both Stark and Angelo looked at Justin Hammer's boring nonsense with blank faces.
"...Tony Stark's Iron Man is a sword, but he insists it's a shield..."
"...so we need a stronger force to protect the safety of the people..."
"God bless Iron Man! God bless America!" Justin Hammer's eloquent speech reminded Angelo of a certain group in his previous life.
Angelo stood up, "Excuse me, Mr. Hammer, do you know Amway?"
Justin Hammer paused in a daze, thinking about it carefully, he really didn't know anyone or anything named Amway.
"What is that? Can Mr. Hell Priest explain it to me?"
Angelo smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing, it's a great career, I think Hammer is more suitable for Amway than the arms industry."
"Thank you for your proposal, I will consider it." Justin Hammer bowed slightly, smiled and sat back in his seat.
Compared to this kind of smiling tiger, thinking how to kill you in his heart, he can still salute you politely on his face. Although Stark's mouth is stinky, it is far less annoying than this guy.
"Mr. Angelo Li, please sit down first, you haven't arrived yet." The fat councilor nodded approvingly at Justin Hammer, and then said, "Well said, Mr. Hammer, we're going to , to invite Colonel James Lord to attend this hearing."
Angelo shrugged, and then sat down. He wanted to see what tricks the other party could play. If there was no other way in the end, he didn't mind blowing up the White House with a corpse explosion to help Stark solve this problem. .
"What? Rhodes?" Stark finally had a look of astonishment on his face.
Colonel Rhodes walked into the hearing under the light of flashing lights. These reporters knew that Stark and Rody had a good relationship, but they didn't expect to be backstabbed by Colonel Rhodes at this time!
"Rhode, I didn't expect you to come." Stark stood up to meet Colonel Rhodes.
"It's me, I'm here, accept the facts." Colonel Rhodes patted Stark's arm.
Stark still had an incredulous expression on his face, "I just, I..."
"do not talk."
"Okay, I won't talk." Stark shrugged and sat back in his seat.
Angelo watched Colonel Rhodes sit down with cold eyes. He naturally knew that Colonel Rhodes came here purely for his duty.
But this does not mean that he will agree with the other party's approach. If he was asked to testify against his friend, for whatever reason, he couldn't do it.
The only good feeling he had for Colonel Rhodes disappeared in an instant.
"This is the information collected by Colonel Rhodes about Iron Man. Colonel Rhodes, please read the fourth paragraph on page 57..."
Thanks for the 100-point reward from the immature pony~
