$554 A Friend Who Knows How to Protect His Friends

"Hmph, Reed? Then why didn't you go find him right away?"

Tony said with a smile on his face.

Why didn't General Ross and his team go directly to Mr. Fantastic?

This is not a difficult thing to guess. The most obvious reason is that General Ross has no way to contact the Fantastic Four.

If it is just a simple meeting, it is not that difficult. After all, the Fantastic Four will give the military some face.

But you want to cooperate? Or is it a cooperation aimed at obtaining Mr. Fantastic's technological works?

This is not something that can be done with the power of the military.

Even if the first generation of Thunderbolt comes forward, it won't work!

"Tony, let's not talk nonsense. I doubt this thing. I don't think you should use technology that you can't even confirm is safe.

Even the Cyberman technology you used before has proved that you don't have the ability to master those things now.

Unless you can come up with more powerful evidence to prove that you can master it all!"

Banner's tone is much more serious. Perhaps this doctor is the most serious one among these superheroes about technology. At least after personally experiencing how dangerous uncontrolled power is, he is still afraid of all possible risks!

"Proof? How do you want me to prove it? Let me put on this battle suit myself and shove that plunger into your face?

Although I don't know how this thing works, I can guarantee that this thing has energy absorption capabilities beyond your and my understanding.

Whether it's you or the Hulk over there, I don't think you can survive from this technology.

And this is just part of my understanding of this technology!"

Tony's tone also became impolite, which made Colonel Rhodes, who was caught in the middle, a little nervous.

Although he felt that the two technical talents seemed to be just performing, he did not dare to make a rash judgment.

How big is the technical gap between Tony and Banner?

In fact, it is not that big. At most, they are good at different fields.

But their expertise overlaps to a large extent!

Tony is good at mechanical creation, so he naturally has a good achievement in the use of energy.

And Dr. Banner has been studying rays for so long, it is a lie to say that he knows nothing about machinery.

The fundamental conflict between the two is that Tony is more adventurous.

"We told you our purpose at the beginning. We just want to build a team that does not belong to S.H.I.E.L.D. or the military. And this team is good for both you and me.

Although you can take out the iron suit to arm the people around you at any time, this protection is definitely not flawless.

If the enemy is those aliens who can easily lock you in a tin can, then can your suit still be a reliable means of protection!"

General Ross took out his own shelf, and when he spoke, he was full of the pressure of a superior.

However, this approach is of no use to Tony. Tony is one of the superiors, especially his wealth itself is a kind of power.

Iron Man is Tony's personal force, and Stark Group is his political guarantee!

"Ha, although what you said makes some sense, do you think I am the kind of obedient little boy? Although I have a similar temper to a child, I am Stark!"

Tony also became impolite. Colonel Rhodes on the side took a few steps forward and stood in front of Tony, as if he wanted to say something.

But Tony hurriedly pushed back a few steps as if he saw something dirty, and this action made Rhodes a little sad.

"Are you serious about retreating?"

Rhodes' original words to stop this "conflict" were replaced by this complaint.

Tony looked at Colonel Rhodes in front of him with a strange expression.

"If you had put away the plunger when you came over, I wouldn't have retreated. Didn't you hear what we said about the power of this weapon?"

Well, the Dalek weapon is just as dangerous to Tony.

"This thing is not just about absorbing energy. What I really care about is the utilization rate and method of energy used by this weapon!

The question of how much energy a person can generate in his body is not a problem for Dr. Banner over there. Although the energy that can be generated is not small, no matter how we use that power, it cannot show more powerful destructive power than missiles.

But the destructive power that this weapon can convert is enough to destroy my Stark Tower!"

Tony was a little excited as he spoke. This technology was enough to make Tony crazy.

Although the Stark Group is now promoting "clean energy", that is, the Ark reactor he made.

But that is only an improvement in energy supply. If we can master the energy utilization method of the Dalek clan, then human progress can be considered to be changing with each passing day.

For example, when making a spaceship, there is no need to consider issues such as charging. As long as there is enough space on the spaceship to raise some small animals, the energy can be almost endless.

If necessary, if someone is willing to sacrifice, this weapon can be used to give the enemy a hard blow.

"Okay, General. Tony and I have a deal."

Banner looked at Colonel Rhodes, and then said to his father-in-law.

Deal done?

certainly!

Scientists can't solve anything when they meet with disagreements and quarrel. If some strange inspiration bursts out during the quarrel, that's another matter.

They have already decided on the most basic cooperation, which is the formation of an elite team.

Since Tony asked Colonel Rhodes to appear in front of them wearing this powerful suit, it meant that Colonel Rhodes was the team leader he chose.

Tony is a scientist but also a capitalist, so how could he suffer a loss?

"I can trust Tony Stark, but I won't trust anyone else. So I need a guarantee!"

General Ross had no intention of continuing to perform at this time, and made his request seriously.

"I need you to ensure that Colonel Rhodes will not be influenced by anyone other than you and me. I am an Army soldier and cannot influence the thoughts of those gentlemen in the sky.

How do you ensure this? "

General Ross finally regained his straightforward tone when speaking. Perhaps this kind of conversation is what he is good at.

Twists and turns?

It's not that General Ross doesn't understand the complicated political language, otherwise how could he still have command of the army if the Hulk had caused so much trouble?

But when facing the Air Force, the army general really had nothing to say.

"I will take care of the local Ministry of Defense. By the way, Rhodes, do you plan to change to another branch of the military? I can guarantee that your salary and status will not decline. As for the pitiful treatment in the Army, I will compensate you privately.

We can even guarantee a sea banquet for you every year. "

Tony said with a smile and the most casual tone.

He avoided the direction that was within reach of Rhodes. To be precise, he avoided the pusher and walked to Rhodes' side.

Then he reached out and patted Rhodes' shoulder, and then put his head close to Rhodes' ear.

"There are not many people in this world that I can trust, but my friend, I believe you will not harm me."

The whisper he made was a bit sensational, and Colonel Rhodes almost nodded directly.

"If the colonel is willing to transfer to the army, I can guarantee that his military rank will be raised. As for the treatment, I can also provide you with a satisfactory treatment."

General Ross said without changing his expression.

"General, I respect you because you are a general, but in terms of treatment, the Army is really not as good as the Air Force!"

The complaint machine went online and started paying attention to some irrelevant places.

The difference in military treatment is actually not small, but that is not the focus now.

"But a general's direct subordinates will not be subject to some boring pressure. Or have you not discovered that your specialness is because of your relationship with Tony?

Although this is a bit unflattering, a large part of your status comes from Tony Stark.

How much say do you have in the military?

In other words, how many troops can you command? "

General Ross seemed a little aggressive at this time.

When it comes to the war between the services, this old general is very tough. He even didn't hesitate to poke at Colonel Rhodes' pain.

A colonel would never be at the bottom, but compared to other colonels, Rhodes' right to speak comes with tremendous pressure.

Even he himself would not deny that there is a Tony element in his right to speak.

"Rhodes is not my friend Tony Stark because he is an Air Force Colonel, nor is he an Air Force Colonel because he is my friend.

Rhodes' own talent is worthy of his treatment. "

Tony was very serious when he said these words, and you don't need to speculate to understand this.

Tony is arrogant, childish, and even a playboy. But even like this, he will still protect everything he thinks should be protected, such as his friends.

"If you still plan to continue on this topic, then I can only see you off.

Know that the only person your Elite Squad program can find who is capable and willing to help is me!

And if I let out the news that I want to cooperate with the military, you won't be the only general who comes to visit!

General Ross, you are not the only general in this country! "

Tony's almost face-breaking gesture made General Ross's expression look unpleasant.

Tony even put away his casual tone and used tough and serious rhetoric. This made it very clear what he meant, this was no joke!

"We also have the option of Wayne Group."

General Ross said seriously.

"Of course, you have met Bruce Wayne anyway, but compared to you, I think I am more trustworthy on his side! Believe me, Wayne Group can certainly provide you with equipment, but the technical content? Ha!"

Tony's words were full of contempt for Wayne Group's technology.

Of course, he still fully recognized Wayne's abilities, but he didn't believe that Wayne would hand over his best skills to Rose with equipment like this.

Wayne and Tony are different. The Batman likes to use his body to solve problems, but Tony's power is entirely technology!

If someone else puts on Wayne's bat suit, he may not become another Batman.

But if someone else puts on the Iron Man suit, he can definitely be regarded as the second Iron Man!

The two people's focus is completely different!

The most important thing is that Tony's equipment is updated very quickly and can be mass-produced!

Mark just means mass production!

In addition to the "Saber" suit containing Cyberman technology, Tony has replaced the suit to more than 30 numbers relying only on his talent and original technology!

During this period, he was not idle!

"Hulk is hungry!"

Hulk on the side made his request at this time.

It must be said that this is a good time, at least he interrupted the tense atmosphere between General Ross and Tony.

"Tony, how can this plunger be put away?"

Colonel Rhodes said in a relaxed tone, it is a very heartwarming thing to be protected by his friends.

And the friendship that can still protect each other in the face of interests is even more precious.

Rhodes didn't intend to let Tony lose an opportunity that he thought was good.

As for the topic of changing military branches, he also put aside his dissatisfaction.

Just as they said before, the Iron Man suit has shown possible problems, so an elite team is indeed a good means of protection.

Even if Rhodes believes that Tony's talent will solve the hidden dangers that have appeared before, it will take time.

And Tony needs to protect more than just himself.

"Tell me to put away your weapons. Rhodes." Tony smiled at Rhodes: "Okay, let's stop talking. Jarvis, help me book the nearest restaurant..."

Tony was talking about it when he suddenly remembered that his Jarvis had disappeared in the previous accident. Thinking of this, Tony showed a little sign of loss.

"Tony, I have arranged it. The restaurant two kilometers away, specifically told them to make the best cheeseburgers."

Pepo's voice interrupted Tony's loss, and his gentle eyes made Tony somewhat relieved.

"Honestly, Tony, I never knew why you favor double-breaded cheese. Although I don't reject it, I still don't quite understand your preference. I thought you would prefer those expensive foods."

Rod interrupted, making the atmosphere a little more harmonious.

"Rod, the cheeseburger I like may not be the same as the one you know."

Although Tony didn't deliberately ask for the grade of the cheeseburger, the cheeseburger he usually refers to is a burger called "Le Burger Extravagant". In addition to selecting white truffle butter, caviar, cheddar cheese and truffles as ingredients, the most domineering thing is the layer of gold foil scattered on the burger.

Colonel Rod showed an embarrassed expression, but the atmosphere on the scene was much better.
