The restaurant's TV is still reporting news related to "Mandarin", the president of the country has made the latest speech and introduced a way to deal with terrorist attacks, they have Colonel Rhodes put on a repainted war machine and named it "Iron Patriot", Rhodes is the new "fighter against terrorism".
These remarks may have reassured the public, but some TV presenters began to joke about it and ridicule the childish behavior.
At this time, somewhere in New York in a room The real mastermind of all of this, Aldridge Killian, was watching the news about Mandarin and the Iron Patriots on the television news, as if he were just as disappointed as the hosts.
What he wanted to force out was Iron Man Tony Stark, but he didn't expect that it was Colonel Rhodes, the "Iron Patriot", who showed up.
Colonel Rhodes was already waiting in the cafeteria, ordering a drink and drinking slowly, embarrassed by the mockery of the hosts on TV about the Iron Patriot, knowing that the public was looking forward to Iron Man, not him.
However, this is the decision of the state, the state asked him to stand up, and he has to maintain the positive image of the "Iron Patriot", although this is a little unfair to his old friend Tony Stark, but what else can be done now Tony has locked himself in his home for a few months, and it is impossible to take on the current responsibility.
Tony Stark walked into the restaurant, wearing brown sunglasses, a straight suit, his head held high, and his bearing was extraordinary, as soon as he came in, he attracted a lot of people's attention, these Tony was used to it, he didn't think too much about it, he directly found Rhodes and sat opposite Colonel Rhodes.
"Isn't the effect of YI feedback very good" Rod spread his hands and said, he didn't understand what happened to those TV hosts, why they always had to expose some things that were not good for the country, and he was also worried that Tony would be affected by the TV news and exacerbate his resentment against the Ministry of Defense.
Tony Stark was a little amused when he heard Rod say this.
He never agreed to use this armor as a weapon, and he gave the war machine to Rhodes because he believed in Rhodes, and Rhodes once openly sided with him and resisted the Defense Ministry's use of armor as a military weapon.
But what's going on now Just because of a terrorist attack, once the robot gets out of control, the consequences will be more terrible than these terrorist attacks He is Iron Man to keep the peace, why don't you call him, having him alone is enough to clean up these kongbufènzi And not to use this as an excuse to use his gains for war Rhodes was promoted, maybe it has changed, he went against his previous persistence and beliefs, handed over the war machine to the Ministry of Defense, and also acted as an anti-terrorist fighter and a "steel patriot", unexpectedly, this is really a little funny This is not the time of fake heroes, but the need for real superheroes Tony Stark decided to answer Rod with sarcasm, so he sat up straight and put on a "great and decent" look, wearing brown sunglasses, a straight face, a thick voice, and a loud voice like adults educating children.
"I'm the Iron Patriot Kid" Rhodes knew that he was wrong, but he didn't want Tony to misunderstand him, and he could only act as if he hadn't heard Tony's ridicule, but his expression couldn't deceive himself, and it was a little unnatural.
"The war machine sounds so fierce, and the name feels better."
Rhodes Road.
Tony sighed and tilted his head to the side, not wanting to look at Rod.
Rod was bored, picked up the drink and drank, and the two fell into a brief silence.
Tony didn't want to break off his friendship with Rod, after taunting Rod, seeing that Rod's heart didn't respond, his heart softened, after all, he was a friend of life and death, and Rod might not have to suffer from doing this It's just that, with a bàozhà case, the whole country has declared a state of emergency alert, how terrifying this mandarin is "What the hell is going on with this Mandarin."
Tony turned his head, took off his brown sunglasses, and looked Rhodes in the eye, "Seriously, tell me about him." ” Rod breathed a sigh of relief and put down his drink, but how to say this He was also very embarrassed, sandwiched between the Ministry of Defense and his friends in life and death, saying no, not saying no, what else could he do except shake his head and say nothing.
"It's all kept secret, Tony."
Rhodes sat up straight and rested his hands on the edge of the table, trying to look serious.
"Tony is a little displeased, he has suffered countless injuries for his country, he has given his life for the earth, he once rushed into space with a nuclear bomb zish, and he defeated the Chitari and his father did so much for the country.
And how long has it been Only a few months have passed since the Battle of New York Now tell him that Rhodes can know things, but keep them secret from him It's either a joke or some stupid official's brain is all turned into mush "Okay" Seeing Tony's expression, Rhodes had to get closer and said, "Let me tell you, there have been a total of nine bàozhà incidents. ” "Nine ups" Tony was stunned, as if things were more serious than he imagined.
Rod added seriously: "But the public only knows about three and the bizarre thing about these incidents is that no one has found the equipment they used, and no fragments of the projectile have been found."
Tony took a breath, this matter is indeed not ordinary, it is by no means something that ordinary agents can solve, it is no wonder that the Ministry of Defense is going to launch the Iron Patriot, but the Iron Patriot is too backward, and it is not without results that he has not gone out in the past few months, and he has successfully developed the Mark 42.
"I can help" Tony's eyes lit up, and he said confidently: "Look for me, I have a bunch of new gadgets, such as autopilot armor, etc., and I also have the latest bomb defusator, even in mid-air, I can catch zhàdàn and dismantle them" Tony felt okay with these words, but it was different in Rod's ears, Rod was a little embarrassed to listen to Tony's boast again, how could he not know Tony's personality If it was a general situation, it would be nothing to let Tony be in the limelight, but now this matter is related to the safety of the country, and Mandarin is directly declaring war on the entire country Even if Tony is in full state, the safety of the whole country can't be pinned on a non-military person, not to mention that Tony doesn't look good now, after taking off his sunglasses, he can see the bloodshot in Tony's eyes and the deep sunken black sockets.
Rod touched his chin and considered it for a while, and after looking at Tony a few times, he said undoubtedly: "How long has it been since you had a good night's sleep" "Einstein only sleeps three hours a year" Tony knew that Rod saw it, but hasn't he been like this for the past few months, he also greatly restructured the Mark armor and developed the powerful Mark 42, just ask how many people can surpass him for three days without sleeping, why no one said Einstein "I'm far behind":
