Tony said seriously, he would never hand over the Iron Man Armor, this is his insistence.
"Well, I'm not an expert …"
Senator Stern needs to ask for foreign aid, and he can't say anything to Tony.
"Selling your body?
Of course you're not, you're a Senator. "
Tony ridiculed Senator Stern and continued to pull down Senator Stern's status, so that he could reduce Senator Stern's influence from another level.
"I'm not a weapons expert, but we've invited a weapons expert. I want to summon Justin Hammer, the main arms dealer of the Department of Defense at present."
Senator Stern ignored Tony's ridicule. He knew that if he responded to Tony's ridicule, he would be led away by Tony and deviate from his own direction, so he directly asked his witness, Justin Hammer.
Justin Hammer is the chairman of Hammer Industries and one of the main competitors of Stark Industries before, but since Stark Industries announced the closure of the weapons department, Hammer Industries has become one of the most important arms dealers of the Department of Defense. This time, Senator Stern called Justin Hammer as if to let professionals deal with professionals.
"Please record that I saw Mr. Hammer come in, and I don't think I saw any weapons expert."
Tony won't recognize Justin Hammer as a weapons expert. He's just a businessman and a capitalist. He doesn't deserve to be called an expert at all.
When the people below heard Tony say this, they also talked about it. They were awakened by Tony. This person is just the boss of an arms company and can't be called an expert. Senator Stern found that the scene was a little out of control and immediately knocked his gavel to calm the scene.
We all know why we are here today. During this time, Tony Stark has forged a sharp sword, but he insists that it is just a shield. He wants us to trust him and hide behind him. I really hope that I feel safe. I really hope that I don't have to lock the door when I go out, but this isn't Canada. We live in a world full of danger. Mr. Stark may not be able to foresee all the dangers. Thank you, everyone. God bless Iron Man, God bless America. "
Hammer is worthy of being an excellent businessman. His eloquence makes people unable to help but follow his rhythm. People can't help but feel that they are in danger and need a more powerful weapon to protect themselves, and that weapon is Tony's Iron Man Armor.
Justin Hammer's speech made Senator Stern take the lead in applauding, and there was some applause at the scene. Although it was not much, it has changed the situation where Tony dominated here.
"Well said, Mr. Hammer."
Senator Stern said appreciatively.
"Now we invite Colonel James Rhodes to attend the meeting."
The next witness invited by Senator Stern surprised Tony a little, and so did the people at the scene, because as everyone knows, Colonel Rhodes is a good friend of Tony. Why is he standing in the other party's position now? Everyone turned to look at the door and watched Colonel Rhodes in a military uniform enter the venue.
"Hey, man, I didn't expect you to come back."
Tony stood up to welcome Rhodes, but his eyes were puzzled. He didn't understand why his good friend appeared here.
"Yes, it's me, I'm here, accept the fact, let's continue."
Rhodes said, he didn't know what expression to use to face Tony. Wang Kai also looked at Rhodes in the audience. In the movie, Rhodes was directly replaced. What would it be like in the real world? Wang Kai obviously found that Rhodes had lost a lot of weight and was more robust.
"Ok, I'm just, just …"
"Don't say it."
"Well, I won't say it."
Tony and Rhodes briefly said a few words in the aisle, and the two men took their seats.
"This is the complete report collected by Colonel Rhodes about the Iron Man weapons. Colonel, please read the fourth paragraph on page 57."
Senator Stern looked at the report in his hand and said to Rhodes.
"You want me to read a specific paragraph in the report?
Senator? "
Rhodes certainly knew what he wrote in the report and what Senator Stern asked him to read, but if that paragraph was singled out, it would be very unfavorable to Tony's testimony. It would be a bit out of context.
"Yes."
Senator Stern said proudly, being able to have Tony's good friend testify is more persuasive than anything else.
"I thought I was here to give a complete and detailed report."
Rhodes was very unhappy because this was not the case in the notice given to him before, otherwise he would not have attended this hearing.
"I understand very well, but there are many variables today."
Senator Stern said with an excuse.
"If you can read it, just reading that paragraph does not represent my complete report."
Rhodes expressed his dissatisfaction and explained the situation at the same time.
"Please read it, Colonel, I understand what you mean, thank you."
Senator Stern didn't want Rhodes to continue to argue, otherwise, it would be very unfavorable.
"Well, 'because Iron Man is not affiliated with any government unit, Iron Man has potential security risks for the country and national interests', but my conclusion is that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the disadvantages, and what is in our interest is … to let Mr. Stark join the military command system, Senator."
Rhodes read his report and made some excuses, but Senator Stern didn't seem to want him to continue.
"Enough, Colonel, I said enough."
Senator Stern tried his best to interrupt Colonel Rhodes.
"I don't like to join any system, but I can consider being the Secretary of Defense. I can reduce my working hours."
