Chapter 75 Public Opinion, Choice (please read it!)
Time is really something that catches people off guard.
In just half a month, the superhero Sangwhip has become a new news darling and has a large number of supporters.
To say that there was no one behind it, Weller would not believe it!
In addition to following Tony's example in fighting terrorists, this guy has also been showing up frequently in crowded places in recent days.
Rough character, kind-hearted, and mechanical genius...
Ivan Vanko, codenamed Deathwhip, has been labeled by various labels, and has even been compared with Tony Stark by many people.
But what followed was that a few days later, Ivan Vanke's 'life experience' was exposed.
Ivan Vanko's father, Anton Vanko, was a former employee of Stark Industries and a scientist who studied with Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark.
The Ark Reactor is the research result of Anton Vanke, and Howard Stark is a despicable plagiarist!
Not only did he steal Anton Vanke's experimental results, he also framed Anton Vanke as a spy and drove Anton Vanke out of Country M. As a result, Ivan Vanke was depressed for half his life and died tragically in Russia.
In other words, Tony Stark's current achievements are based on despicable technical plagiarism!
Ivan Vanke, the mourning whip, appeared in front of everyone with his research results in order to reveal the true face of the Stark family to the world.
When Weller saw the news, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Good guy!
While framing the Stark family, he also established the character of a bullied weakling who bravely fights evil forces for justice and an indomitable genius scientist.
All of a sudden, Ivan Vanke stood on the moral high ground and fired a fatal public opinion bomb at Tony.
So, not surprisingly, the revelation of Ivan Vanke's life experience caused a news storm. Especially after the news interviewed Ivan Vanke and got a positive answer, all the pressure was put on him. Over to Tony.
And Tony was also angry because of Ivan Vanke's frame-up, because it not only involved him, but also involved the reputation of his father, an old man who had been dead for twenty years.
As a result, Tony threw out a pile of evidence to prove Anton Vanke's identity as a spy who betrayed national interests by trading with the Soviet Union. He also produced a lot of research information to prove the problem of the creator of the Ark reactor.
But in the face of these evidences, Ivan Vanke just stood from the perspective of the weak and said with a sad expression: "These evidences are all fake! They were forged by Tony Stark!" "Although I can't prove
these so-called evidences. True or false, but the government must have a way to prove it!"
When things progressed to this point, Weller, who had been paying attention to the progress of Stark and Vanke's incident, felt his heart sink.
Since Ivan Vanke dares to say this, it means that the two parties have reached a deal on the steel suit, at least a tacit understanding.
Sure enough, the government clearly had evidence, and as long as it stood up and issued an official announcement, the Stark and Vanke incidents could be settled, but they chose to remain silent.
And silence is also an attitude.
As a result, public opinion began to turn towards Ivan Vanko, but Tony was accused of being a thief. Stark Industries was also affected, and the two were under increasing pressure.
"The government of country M has already received Ivan Vanke's 'offer', so is it waiting for Tony to bid?"
Weller murmured, then shook his head.
It seems that the M government still prefers Tony's steel suit, but if the M government thinks this is an opportunity for Tony to hand over the steel suit, then they are wrong.
Tony would never hand over the Iron Suit.
Looking at Stark's stock, which started to fall again amid this public opinion storm, Weller was already ready to invest the spare money he had received from previous missions.
Meanwhile, Tony's house.
Tony looked at the news reports with a gloomy face, feeling extremely angry at Ivan Vanke and the M government.
Of course he knows what the M government's silence at this time represents.
But handing over the steel suit...
he would never do that.
Never thought about it.
"Tony, tell me, what are you going to do?"
Rhodes was as anxious as a top, walking back and forth in front of Tony, and said irritably: "As far as I know, Ivan Vanke has already contacted the military and The government has reached a preliminary agreement to help the military of Country M manufacture steel suits, or sell the finished steel suits to the military." "It
should be sales." Tony said slowly: "The technology of steel suits can only be mastered if you master it. It is in your own hands to maximize your interests."
Rhodes paused, looked at Tony seriously, and said, "Are you really not thinking about it? As long as you are willing to sell the steel suit, that bastard will be kicked out directly. If you are out, the current public opinion and situation will be completely reversed."
"Then what? I become a businessman selling weapons again?"
Tony said leisurely, and then his voice became louder and louder, slowly becoming infected with the feeling that he could control Unstoppable anger.
"This is not what I want! You want to use Ivan Vanke to put pressure on me to start selling steel suits? They should stop daydreaming!" On the contrary, Rhodes quickly calmed down and said coldly: "
Tony, They are not dreaming, but choosing. If you don't regress, they can still choose Ivan Vanke and still get the steel suit!" "
Then let them trade with that bastard!"
Tony yelled angrily, He got up and left the living room.
Rhodes sighed.
The temptation of the steel suit is not ordinary. This is a weapon that can change the pattern of war. As long as there is such a steel legion, the military power of M country will reach an unprecedented level.
Therefore, the government and military will never give up this opportunity.
As a soldier, Rhodes certainly hopes to see Tony reach new cooperation with the military, but as Tony's friend, he respects Tony's decision not to sell weapons.
"But Tony, you're not the only one."
Rhodes murmured, turned and left with a heavy heart.
Tony rushed into the laboratory angrily. When he sat on the tool table and held a wrench, he calmed down quickly.
Stop Ivan Vanko's deal with the government?
He can't do that now unless he also sells steel suits.
Let SHIELD help stop this collaboration?
Ha, Captain Black Jack can't stop the government's decision, and he might even want a piece of the pie.
But Tony had an intuition that people like Ivan Vanke, or the people behind him, definitely didn't just want to defeat him and reach long-term cooperation and deals with the M government.
"They definitely have a conspiracy!"
Tony murmured. Although he had no proof, he felt this way.
"If he has any conspiracy, I have to take precautions. After all, the Steel Suit and the Ark Reactor are all related to Stark..."
Tony murmured and looked at the Steel Suit in the laboratory, with a flash in his eyes. The color of determination.
