Marvel Super Venom

Chapter 106: Hearing

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Tony Stark appeared on time at the government hearing attended by the military committee. He sat in the defendant's seat. Although it was the first time, he was not panicked at all.

Instead, he kept looking left and right, greeted the group of friends and relatives attending around him, and winked at Pepper Potts.

Pepper hurriedly glanced at Tony angrily and motioned to him to maintain a minimum order in court, but Tony didn't care about this at all, he did his own way, until the councillors who presided over the hearing were a little unbearable.

"Mr. Stark, can we proceed to the issue just now? Mr. Stark, please!" The congressman sitting on it knocked the gavel in his hand several times, and even used very earnest pleading words. .

"Of course, my dear. Do you have any instructions?" Tony turned his head and made a serious look, and his tone immediately caused a chuckle in the serious court.

The MP sitting in the judge's seat pretended not to hear these laughs, and continued to say seriously: "Mr. Stark, can you answer my question honestly?"

"Of course, my dear. By the way, what is the question you are asking!" Tony wouldn't be honest with just one sentence, but he accepted it verbally.

Regardless of his attitude, the congressman can sit in this position and target Tony Stark, how could he not do some research on him in advance.So he ignored this frivolous and unrighteous attitude and said to him with a smile on his face: "Mr. Stark, do you have a special high-tech weapon?"

"No!" Tony answered categorically on this question.

Hearing Tony's nonsense answer with his eyes open, Mr. Senator couldn't help raising his voice a lot, making his voice very sharp: "Did you say?"

"Yes. No!" Tony's expression was very sincere. If Mr. Senator hadn't been the first to understand Tony Stark's personality, he might have been deceived.

"I'm pretty sure. Of course. It depends on what you define as a weapon."

"Iron Man is a weapon, Mr. Stark!" Mr. Senator was too lazy to mess with Tony, bluntly, he didn't think this established fact could be turned over by Tony's clever mouth.

Hearing this, Tony immediately made his expression serious. He pulled the microphone in front of him and said solemnly: "My invention is not a weapon!"

"Not a weapon?"

Mr. Senator sat upright, staring sharply at Tony, and asked, "Then how do you define it? Mr. Stark?"

"He is what he is, Senator. If I were to say it, it can only be regarded as a high-tech prosthetic!"

Tony's words immediately caused a bigger laughter, and everyone knew that Tony was tugging again.

Despite the endless laughter, Tony still said to Mr. Senator with a serious expression: "This is the best adjective I can think of. A technological prosthetic, yes. That's it!"

"This is ridiculous, Mr. Stark. It is a weapon, he is a weapon!"

Facing Tony's absurd rhetoric, the senator was not calm, he increased the volume, overshadowed Tony's voice, and gave his own definition.

"If you are the people's welfare first..."

Tony naturally can't tolerate his invention being qualitative in this way. He just wanted to compile the vocabulary to refute this Mr. Senator.

The senator directly interrupted what Tony had not finished speaking, and said, "No, I give priority to the American people as the weapon of Iron Man."

When arguing with the senator, a profession that relied on his mouth to eat, it was obvious that Tony, a guy who could only fight for a while, could not get any advantage.

But not taking advantage of it does not mean that he will submit.

Tony declared his opinion righteously, and his voice was excited and high-pitched: "Don't even think about it. I am Iron Man. I and my steel armor are one. Want me to hand it over. Just let me Hand over myself. So don’t even think about it. If you force me to do this, I can understand that you are forcing me to perform labor or prostitution. This is definitely illegal, of course it depends on it. Which state is it. But I think I can use legal means to protect my interests here. So, to sum up, Senator, I can’t give it to you.”

After Tony was so messed up, the scene suddenly seemed to be a hilarious talk show, and in this atmosphere, even the senator who was good at teasing had no room to continue.

He can only pull up foreign aid to continue his plan.

"Listen, I don't know how to be an expert in this area. I don't know if what you are saying is true. If Iron Man is a weapon, I need a weapon expert to give us some advice. Now, I want to summon Justin Han Mo, the main arms dealer of the Ministry of National Defense."

Hearing this name, Tony immediately understood who was targeting him. The Ministry of Defense must be one aspect, but it was this shameless Hanmer who instigated the Ministry of Defense, and only he would have this spirit to target himself.

You must know that in the past, when Stark was still the leader of the arms companies, Hanmer Industries had been eyeing Stark Industries.

However, at that time, the relationship between Stark and the Department of Defense was better than that of Hanmer Industries, which also resulted in Hanmer Industries having no way to target Stark.

But now it is different. Stark Industries has withdrawn from the arms field, and this has led to his remaining market share destined to be divided by the remaining giants.

But during this time, Osborne was also in his own troubles, so Hanmer Industries seized the opportunity to catch up and directly became the largest supplier of the Ministry of Defense.

However, even if it became the largest arms seller, Hanmer Industries was still far from the original Stark Industries.

The most important gap among these is in cutting-edge weapons. Hanmer Industries is a company that made its fortunes with small and light individual weapons, and it was already inadequate in this regard.

Coupled with the fact that the head of Stark is a genius who can develop black technology, naturally the gap between them is getting bigger and bigger.

And Tony looked down on Justin Hammer, thinking that this guy was an incompetent boy. The reason why Hanmer Industries was able to defeat the other giants of arms dealers was entirely because of the government's support behind him.

It is better to say that it is an arms dealer than Justin Hammer is a processing factory that specializes in processing equipment for the first arms dealer in the United States.

Sometimes, the President of the United States does not want his fingerprints to appear on some weapons, so Hanmer Industries of Justin Hammer has become the best agent.

In other words, it's not that Hammer is attacking, but the government is forcing Tony to hand over Iron Man's technology.

Chapter 107: Suppression by the military and government

It stands to reason that Stark Industries has been the leader in the arms industry for so many years, and it should have recruited a lot of red eyes. This time, the government and the military have finally taken the lead and can suppress it. These arms leaders should be very happy and enthusiastic. Participate.

But on the contrary, they are not keen on this matter, and there are even people who oppose it "in private".

Because these arms giants who have operated in a family style for several generations are not short-sighted people who can only see immediate benefits.

They can clearly see that compared with the benefits gained by squeezing a competitor who has already announced its withdrawal from the arms industry and is no longer threatening their own, they may have to pay a higher price in the future for their participation in this matter. .

The United States is a country with a very high private sector. Most of its economic lifeline, including its currency and the U.S. dollar, are not state-owned, but are in the hands of some big family and big chaebols, and these military giants are also one of them. .

These big families and big chaebols all have a unified consensus that the government and the army are used to defend and expand their interests, not to manage them.

Therefore, neither the government nor the army, under any reason or name, can forcefully collect anything from them without their consent.

So this time, they are very unenthusiastic about the government and the army, intending to force Tony to surrender the steel suit, and it can even be said to be a boycott.

Because this matter itself is contrary to the private system of the United States. It is the beginning of the state's administrative order to force private individuals to surrender their core interests.

Today, the country has taken a fancy to Tony’s steel armor and asked him to hand it in. Is that the technology of this fighter tomorrow?The day after tomorrow, did you fancy that cruise missile manufacturer?

After the day after tomorrow, I would like to see this military satellite technology, and the day after tomorrow I would like to see other people’s bomb technology?

Do you pay or not?

Hand in, if your core technology is gone, the military will research it on its own, and still need to buy your product?Then your company will be abolished directly, not far from bankruptcy.

Don't pay it. People like Iron Man with such awesome technology, why don't you?Do you want to treason?

It is estimated that a regiment of the army will surround your company the next day, and if it is handed over, the company will go bankrupt and close down. Failure to hand over is treason. The military will forcibly expropriate your core technology and seal your company.
