Chapter 399 Roddy's accusation
Tony's genius became the opponent's weapon at this time.
But resisting Tony's offensive was not enough, Justin Hammer began to launch his own counterattack.
He stood up, walked to the center of the hearing, and said to the surroundings: "Your Excellency Senator, please allow me to speak."
"Maybe I'm not an expert, but I know who is the real expert. Tony, it's your father, Howard Stark. He is not only our patriarch, but also the father of our military industry."
"You are the same as him. You are all geniuses. You inherited your father, especially your talent in weapon development."
"We all know what we are here for. Over the years, Tony Stark has forged a sharp sword, but he himself insists that it is only a shield."
"He wants us to trust him, to hide behind him because it's safe."
"I wish I was going to feel safe, I really did at first."
"But after monsters raged in New York, vampires appeared in Europe, and later artificial intelligence Ultron carried out global destruction... After all kinds of events that endanger human society, I really can't think so."
"After all, when we thought he could protect us, he instead created a terrifying artificial intelligence Ultron that is the most threatening to us as a whole, and is completely out of control, which is not a burden for us humans at all."
"Tony Stark's private manipulation and possession of artificial intelligence and robot soldiers is the greatest harm to us, as long as we can recognize this is enough."
"I don't mean to accuse Mr. Stark. After all, we live in a world full of crises. Mr. Stark may not have a way to predict danger. All his original intentions and starting points are good."
"Ao Chuang was just his unintentional mistake. He wanted Ao Chuang to serve us humans better, but it got out of control unexpectedly, just like the unique steel suit he created."
"So I can only think, is there another way to let Mr. Stark protect us, it is best to hand over the toy in his private hands and give it to those who can better protect us, and at the same time prevent the private monopoly of artificial intelligence robot soldiers from getting out of control. This may be the most correct."
"That's it, folks, and the above is my personal opinion. God bless America and God bless Iron Man!"
Things are not right, things are very wrong, and after Justin Hammer's speech, Tony has this bad feeling.
His speech has put Tony in a disadvantageous situation, because in his description, Tony has completely become such a character.
Sitting on the most cutting-edge technology that can protect people's lives and property safety, but only want to enjoy its benefits and all the honors.
Even privately created Ultron, an artificial intelligence villain that is extremely harmful to human society, implements out-of-control hazards, and has the possibility of exterminating human beings around the world. Black technology monopoly, and they don’t even want to hand it over to the country to play its greatest value, or don’t want the intervention and supervision of the country and government security departments.
And even if the lives and properties of the people have been threatened, he is unwilling to compromise with the government.
Of course, from the perspective of the people and the military, Tony's behavior is already a very selfish behavior that endangers human society.
From Tony's point of view, Justin Hammer is the most thorough moral kidnapping.
He put Tony on the opposite side of the people and the country. Although not everyone will support his point of view, it is certain that many people will believe his point of view.
Tony just wanted to say something to restore the current decline, but obviously, his opponent didn't want to give him any chance to recover.
So before he could speak, the senator sitting on the judge's seat took over Justin Hammer's offensive and launched their combined punches.
"Well said, Mr. Hammer, let us now invite Colonel James Roddy to the meeting."
"Roddy?" Hearing this name, Tony turned around in disbelief, and then he immediately saw Roddy walking in with an ugly expression on his face.
Not only did he see Roddy, many people also saw the African-American who walked in.
They also began to discuss almost immediately, because most of the people present knew the relationship between Roddy and Tony, so some strange thoughts began to drill into their minds: Is Stark going to betray his relatives?
This is definitely not a good phenomenon for Tony, but it is definitely a phenomenon that the people in the Ministry of Defense are willing to see.
The senator even had a smile on his face, and even began to say impatiently: "I have a complete report on Iron Man's weapons collected by Colonel Roddy. Colonel, please read the content of the fourth paragraph on page 57."
The expression on Colonel Rody's face was not good either. Although it was his bounden duty to obey orders as a soldier, it was impossible for him to feel comfortable being treated by his superior as a tool to frame his friends.
So he said with a stern face, "You want me to read a specific paragraph in the report? I thought I was here to give a complete and detailed report, instead of taking it out of context and taking a paragraph out of it to represent what I mean."
"I know what you mean, Colonel!" The senator coughed and called out the position of Colonel Roddy.
This is also telling him not to forget his identity: "I understand your thoughts now, but there are many variables today, and we don't have time to listen to you read all the reports. So, you only need to read the paragraph I designated."
Hearing this, Colonel Roddy could only sigh. He gave Tony a sorry look, and then opened the document report in his hand.
"Well, line 57 on page [-]: 'Iron Man is not affiliated with any government agency.'"
He paused here before continuing: "His existence therefore poses a threat to national security and interests. But my conclusion is that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the disadvantages. If Mr. Stark is allowed to join the military command system..."
"Enough, that's enough, Colonel Roddy!" The senator immediately interrupted Roddy's speech.
At this time, Tony couldn't help it: "I don't like to join any system, but I can consider being the Minister of Defense. Of course, the working hours must be shortened. Eight hours a day is too tiring. I think four hours is fine."
The scene was full of laughter.
Regarding this blatant mockery of the Ministry of Defense, the senator had to twitch the corners of his mouth and change the topic: "Colonel, I want to play the video in your report."
