Chapter 398 The Opponent's Complaint
"If you want me to hand it over, you want me to hand over myself, so don't even think about it. If you force me to do this, I can understand that you want to force me to serve labor, or sell my assets, which is definitely illegal. Of course, it depends on which state it is, but I think I can use legal means to protect my own interests here. So, in summary, Senator, I can't give it to you."
Being pestered by Tony so much, the scene suddenly seemed to be as lively as some hilarious talk show.
And in this atmosphere, even the senators who are good at grinding their mouths have no room to continue talking.
He could only pull in foreign aid to continue his plan: "Listen, I'm not an expert in this area. I don't know if what you said is true. Whether Iron Man is a weapon, I need a weapon expert to give us some advice. Now, I want to summon Justin Hammer, the current major arms partner of the Ministry of Defense."
Hearing this name, Tony immediately understood who was targeting him.
The Ministry of National Defense must be on the one hand, but it must be this insidious and shameless Justin Hammer who instigated the Ministry of National Defense to submit obediently, and only he has the spirit to target himself.
You must know that in the past, when Stark was still the leader of the arms company, Hammer Industries had been eyeing Stark Industries.
However, at that time, the relationship between Stark and the Ministry of Defense was better than that of Hammer Industries, which also caused Hammer Industries to have no way to target Stark.
But it's different now, Stark Industries has withdrawn from the arms field, and this has led to the market share he left behind being destined to be divided by the remaining giants.
However, during this period of time, Osborne also got into his own troubles, so Hammer Industries seized the opportunity to catch up and directly became the largest supplier of the current Ministry of Defense.
However, even after becoming the largest arms seller, Hammer Industries still has a certain gap with the original Stark Industries.
The main gap is in cutting-edge weapons. Hammer Industries is a company that made its fortune from light and small individual weapons, and it was originally deficient in this area.
Coupled with the fact that the head of the Stark Enterprise is a genius who can develop black technology, the gap between them naturally widens.
This gap has made Hammer Industry not very optimistic, and Hammer Industry itself has this sense of crisis. He knows that if he wants to stand in the position of boss, he must have a truly high-tech weapon with cross-epoch significance.
So Tony's Iron Man suit was naturally targeted by him. This is a recognized cross-age weapon.
Moreover, Stark has just switched from a military enterprise to an energy enterprise, which has caused it to lose its greatest political capital. If it does not take advantage of this opportunity to coerce Stark Industries, then there will be no such opportunity in the future.
When he shared this idea with the Ministry of National Defense, the two sides hit it off.
The Ministry of Defense, which had been overwhelmed by the Battle of New York, the Avengers and Ultron, immediately regarded Justin Hammer's proposal as the best opportunity to change the image of the military and reverse the current decline.
At the same time, it is also the best way to fill the large vacuum that has emerged after the super soldier project was shelved and frozen.
In particular, the artificial intelligence Ultron developed and manufactured by Stark without authorization has endangered many parts of the world, brought major disasters and harm to mankind, completely out of control, and may bring disaster to mankind. This is also an excuse for the Military Commission and the Supreme Court to investigate and judge Stark.
Of course, this is also the highest black technology that the military covets. Having Iron Man armed and advanced artificial intelligence to build robot soldiers means that they have countless superheroes. Whether it is public opinion or the direction of future wars, they are all beginning to lean on their side.
In the same way, Hanmer Industries, as a partner, will also fully obtain this technology through cooperation with the military, and carry out large-scale mass production for the military. It will successfully take a big step forward and lay the foundation for its own leading military enterprise.
So, why should they not cooperate in this way?With current interests, no one is jealous, and this naturally includes Hanmer Military Industry.
After guessing the cause and effect, Tony became more cautious. He found that this was not a sudden action, but more like a long-planned conspiracy.
Therefore, Tony, who couldn't let the situation be controlled like this, started to attack first.
"Please forgive me, gentlemen, I only saw Mr. Justin Hammer coming in, but not any so-called weapons expert. Are you joking when you say he is a weapons expert? Everyone knows that Hammer is just a businessman, not an expert. He may not even be able to dismantle bombs!"
Tony Stark's sharp counterattack even made the surrounding audience whisper.
But Justin Hammer, who was well-dressed and smiling, did not become angry. He just smiled and said to the microphone in front of him:
"Yeah, I'm not an expert, you are, Tony, and you've always been a genius at this!"
As soon as he spoke, not only Tony, but even Qiao Ke couldn't help wiping his face.
It wasn't the first time they had contact with Justin Hammer, and they knew exactly what kind of guy he was.
This is a guy whose verbal skills are hundreds of times better than other skills. According to Tony, if half of his verbal skills are given to the weapon developers of Hammer Industries, he probably won't even be an opponent.
This is an extreme guy who can only talk about it, and almost everything he says is empty words and lies.
But just like that, he was welcomed by the Ministry of Defense.
In this regard, the arms dealers have long had a saying that they are like-minded.
They look down on this guy's ability, but now, in this court hearing that only relies on words, they have to admit that this guy is the most difficult to deal with.
Just like now, Justin Hammer frankly admitted Tony's identification of him, but immediately refuted this point of view.
"Compared to a genius like you, Tony, I really admit that I am not a weapon expert. Indeed, the identity of a businessman is more suitable for me."
If Tony Stark is used as the dividing line, I am afraid that few people in the world can be called weapons experts, so when he said this, the audience around him naturally admitted this point of view.
