Chapter 103 Tony's Hearing
Compared to the three-day battle between the pros and cons on the Internet.
In reality, the official media has a unified attitude and is full of praise.
For example, the news that Leon is watching now on KNKV TV in Los Angeles.
A month ago, this TV station was indirectly saying that Superman was a dictator who would persecute people all over the world.
Now on TV, there is still that familiar female host, and still that familiar smile.
But she was saying it.
"The emergence of Superman is a shot in the arm. He eliminated the evil Hydra's plan to destroy the world and saved tens of millions of people. He is the light of human civilization!"
"There is no doubt that he will be a beacon of the new era and the closest friend of us, the Eagle Sauce people!"
"We have invited a famous sociologist, who will conduct a more detailed analysis next."
Then a professor with a "Francis" sign in front of him appeared.
He coughed lightly and began to speak.
The content starts with Superman's kindness in the comics and extends to Superman facing the nuclear explosion alone three days ago in reality.
Analysis suggests that this real-life Superman must have parents as kind as the Kents.
Finally, we come to the conclusion that Superman is absolutely just and kind.
Lyon looked at it in amazement.
Same people, same scene.
How can these guys have the nerve to say something completely contrary to what they said a month ago?
Wouldn't you feel ashamed if a boomerang hit you in the face?
I didn't expect that the joke I made with Tony at that time would actually come true.
Unless he really shows his kind and soft side later.
Otherwise, these media would probably continue to blow his cover and portray him as the most kind and compassionate person possible.
"Superman is the embodiment of justice?" Shirley walked into the living room and read the news headline. She was going home from school.
"Um...are you watching the news again?"
"A lot of news has been saying this these days, including at school and on the streets."
She trotted a few steps and sat next to Leon.
"Although they said good things, I always felt something was wrong..."
Shirley frowned: "It's like... I want to put you, brother Leon, in a very high position and make it impossible for you to come down."
"Hey, you're right." Leon rubbed Shirley's head in surprise.
“Although they say nice things, they don’t mean it out of the kindness of their heart.”
Even Shirley could notice the problem, which shows how exaggerated the media reports have been in recent days.
Media all over the world are trying to raise Superman's psychological expectations through hype.
The purpose is to make him change his position.
Really think of yourself as a good person.
It is best to think about whether taking the left foot first is in line with your new personality before going out on weekdays.
If Superman is not strong enough, this would be a form of flattery.
But he can withstand nuclear bombs, so this is another form of moral kidnapping.
However, Leon felt that he did not accept this kind of morality, so he would not be kidnapped.
Maybe Tony would like this feeling.
After all, Tony called several times in the past three days, repeatedly expressing his envy and jealousy of Superman's popularity.
"I knew that was the case!"
Little Shirley was happy to hear Leon's words of agreement and felt that she had grown up a little more today.
But she was a little confused: "Then why do you still watch the news every day?"
Of course, Leon couldn't say that he was just watching for fun.
He coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I didn't watch the news. I was just waiting for your Uncle Tony's live broadcast. Well, it has already started. Let's watch it together."
Tony is attending a Senate hearing today regarding the illegal private ownership of armor.
Lyon knew that the hearing would not end in a bad outcome, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, it is on the Hydra list released by the Rising Tide Organization.
Many people in the Senate are on the list, and the evidence is solid.
The top brass were so busy catching the traitor and stabilizing the situation that they had no time to bother with Tony.
In addition, Tony Iron Man’s name is now known all over the world.
This hearing was just a formality to give Tony a legal identity to manufacture armor.
Leon waved his hand and switched the projection to the live broadcast of the hearing.
In the picture, the podium and the gallery are full of people.
"Mr. Tony Stark, do you want to explain the accusation that you illegally possessed weapons and armor?"
The Member of Parliament asked the key question.
Tony held his forehead and said, "Weapon? Is that a weapon? How can you think so?"
"Actually, it's just a high-tech prosthetic I developed."
"You all know that I was half-crippled in the attack in Afghanistan."
"So, it's normal that I need a prosthesis to assist with daily activities, right? I don't see any problem with that."
There was a burst of laughter.
Tony was wearing a woolen short-sleeved sweater today, and a slim-fitting shirt that highlighted the contours of his muscular chest.
Even if you say he is a contestant in this year's USA bodybuilding contest, some people will believe it.
As a result, he actually said that he was a disabled person. How could this not make people laugh and cry?
The congressman couldn't help but laugh, but didn't ask any further questions and turned to the really important issues.
“Nick Fury, former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Before being imprisoned, he strongly requested a postponement of the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D.
And proposed that you take over and reorganize S.H.I.E.L.D.
What do you think about this?
Is his recommendation to you based on a secret deal or because you have the Armored Armor?"
Tony was silent for a moment: "I don't know, maybe it's because my father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he recommended me."
"But I want to emphasize again that what you call battle armor is really just a high-tech prosthesis that assists me in my movements."
The congressman frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer.
He wanted to ask more questions, but the person next to him coughed lightly to remind him, so he had to move on to the next question.
"There is an organization in the world that calls itself the Men in Black. They have used the same armor as yours in public many times. What do you want to say about this? Can we suspect that the Stark Group is still selling weapons to terrorists?"
"Ridiculous, this is ridiculous." Tony sneered.
"From what I understand, the Men in Black are affiliated with Superman."
"Everyone knows that I crossed paths with Superman in Sokovia."
"Since you said the Man in Black used the same suit as me, then maybe Superman stole my technology."
"As a taxpayer of the country, can I ask you to help me find Superman to investigate the copyright issue?"
"And since you think the Men in Black are a terrorist organization, you can also order him to disband it."
Tony finished his words, leaned back in his chair, turned around and winked at Pepper in the audience.
The scene was completely silent.
Even the few people who occasionally whispered kept silent.
Even several senators on the stage showed visibly panicked expressions.
They just heard something.
The Man in Black is Superman's subordinate?
Even though some people had suspected this issue before, it had never been confirmed and no one dared to confirm it.
But now that Iron Man has brought it up with certainty, he's even asking the country to help question Superman?
The congressman who had just asked the question felt dizzy and felt dizzy when he heard this.
Isn't it just a few questions about Warframe?
How can this matter be related to Superman?
This is just great.
He suspected that in order not to offend Superman, he would be forced to commit suicide by shooting himself in the back when he went out.
There is no doubt that among the military lunatics who are well aware of the horror of Superman, there are quite a few who would actually do this!
"We don't have such an idea!" he explained immediately.
"Please, please understand that the question just now was just a normal procedure. We have never doubted your position."
The congressman picked up the hammer on the table with trembling hands and knocked it down.
"It's over! The hearing ends now, right here! Okay, stop the live broadcast!"
The live broadcast was cut off and advertisements began to play on the projection.
Leon and Shirley looked at each other.
"Just now...did Uncle Tony expose your relationship with your sisters?" Shirley blinked her big eyes.
Leon tilted his head and thought about it.
Although he had agreed to Tony's leak in advance.
But he still warned Shirley: "Now you know how much your uncle Tony can't keep his mouth shut."
"His mouth is like a bus."
"A message is sent to one station and then it is sent to the next station."
"Don't expect him to keep a secret."
"Remember, never trust his stinky mouth in the future!"
Shirley put her hands in front of her mouth and made a zipper gesture: "I know! The secret must not be told to Uncle Tony!"
