Chapter 220 Hearing (Part 2)
Following Tony's answer, laughter broke out again at the hearing. Smith, who was sitting next to him, leaned back in his chair. He was very clear about Tony's response method, and was curious about what difficulties he would face at the hearing.

Tony ignored the laughter and continued:
“That’s the best word I could come up with.”

Senator Hydra retorted:
"It's a weapon, it's a weapon."

Tony said: "If you prioritize the welfare of the people, he is a prosthetic limb."

"No, my priority is to deliver the weapon, Iron Man, to the American people."

Hearing the congressman's words, Tony directly refused:
"Impossible, I am Iron Man, I and the iron armor are one."

"Handing over Iron Man is like handing over myself, which is considered either servitude or selling Y, depending on the state's laws."

"I can't give it to you."

Listening to Tony's words, there was laughter again.

The Senator said:

"Listen, I'm not an expert..."

Tony immediately mocked:
"Of course you're not a Y-selling expert. Come on, you're a senator."

After saying that, Tony slammed the table and made a victory scissors hand gesture to the people behind him.

The laughter behind them became even louder.

The senator quickly explained:
"I'm not a weapons expert, but we've got one."

"I want to subpoena Justin Hammer, the Department of Defense's current main arms dealer."

Hearing the senator's words, Tony also looked to the side and saw Justin Hammer walking in.

"I saw Justin Hammer come in, but I didn't see any weapons experts."

At this time, Justin Hammer walked to the side of the audience and said with a smile:

"Haha, that's right."

"I'm not the expert, you are, Tony, you're a genius!"

"Senator, if you will allow me the floor."

“Maybe I’m not an expert, but you know who is?”

"Your father, Howard Stark!"

"He is not only the head of our family, but also the father of the military industry."

"But please understand, he's not a hippie, he's a lion."

"We all know why we're here. Over the past six months, Tony Stark has forged a sharp sword, but he insists it's just a shield."

"He wants us to trust him, to get behind him."

"I really wish I felt safe, I really do."

"I'd love to not have to lock my door when I go out, but this isn't Canada. We live in a dangerous world."

"And Mr. Stark may not be able to foresee the danger."

"Thank you, God bless Iron Man, God bless America."

"My speech is over!"

As Justin Hammer finished his speech, the senator was the first to applaud.

"Well said, Mr. Hammer."

"We would now like to invite Colonel James Rhodes to attend the meeting."

As the senator finished speaking, Tony looked behind him in surprise and shouted:
"Rod, what?"

Colonel James Rhodes walked in slowly from behind under the gaze of everyone.

Smith also turned around and looked back, looking at the colonel in front of him, a nigger, or a nigger who would be replaced in the future.

Tony stood up and walked a few steps towards Rhodes, shaking his hand.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to come."

"It's me. I'm here. Accept the facts."

"continue."

Then Rhodes walked to the rightmost audience seat and sat down.

The Senator continued, "This is the complete report Colonel Rhodes has collected on Iron Man's weapons."

"Colonel, please read page 57, paragraph 4."

Rhodes said to the microphone in front of him with some surprise:
"You want me to read a specific paragraph from the report?"

"Yes."

Rhodes glanced at Tony next to him, then said:
"I thought I was going to give a full, detailed report."

The senator sitting on the stage smiled and said:

"I understand, but there are a lot of variables today."

Rhodes held the report in his hand and said with a somewhat unhappy look:
"If you had read it, you would have known that reading out that particular paragraph would not have represented the integrity of my report."

The senator didn't care about Rhodes' words and said:
"I know. Please read it aloud, Colonel. Thank you."

Rhodes took a deep breath:
"All right!"

Then he turned the report to a specific page and said:

"Iron Man is not affiliated with any government unit and therefore poses a threat to national security and interests."

"But my conclusion is that Iron Man has far more advantages than disadvantages..."

Before Rhode could finish his words, the senator on the stage interrupted him:

"enough."

Rhodes did not listen to the senator's words and continued:
"That's why we're interested in having Mr. Stark join the military command structure."

The Senator interrupted again:

"enough!"

Tony said at this time:

"I don't like being part of any system, but I could consider being defense secretary and working fewer hours."

Tony's words caused laughter again, and Rhodes picked up the water glass and took a sip to cover up his embarrassment.

The senator continued:
"I'd like to play the film from your report."

Rhodes refused:
"I don't think it's the right time to release these videos to the public."

The senator did not accept Rhodes's suggestion, but said:
"I understand, Colonel."

"But we would really appreciate it if you could explain the films."

Hearing the senator say this, Rhodes said helplessly:

"Please bring up the video."

Soon, the electronic screen next to it began to play the picture.

"Intelligence data indicates that the devices in these videos are actually counterfeits of Mr. Stark's iron armor."

"This has been confirmed by our allies and intelligence on the ground."

"These steel armors are likely to be usable at this time."

Watching the video playing, Tony took out his phone, operated it for a while, and interrupted:

"Wait a minute, let me see."

As he spoke, Tony pointed his phone at the electronic screen in front of him. Soon, program code popped up on the screen, and then something was updated rapidly.

"I control your screens, and I need them."

“It’s time to make everything transparent.”

"Let's see what's going on."

The senator on the stage saw the scene and asked:
"What is he doing?"

Tony said while operating his mobile phone:
"Please look at the screen. I believe that is North Korea."

Soon, the screen showed a steel idiot being tested, unable to even walk normally. After falling, it suddenly opened fire, injuring some testers.
