Chapter 1323 Stark's Anti-Corruption Operation
In early March 2017, the United States officially recognized Latvinia as a sovereign country, and Dr. Victor von Doom, known as the tyrant of Latvinia by the outside world, visited the United States in person.
The bald man and Doctor Doom shook hands cordially in front of the White House lawn. As the reporter pressed the shutter, this photo spread all over the world and was hailed as a crucial ice-breaking trip. Many people find it unbelievable, but in the face of hard facts, they can only recognize the reality that the US foreign policy has indeed undergone major changes.
…
"Mr. Tony Stark, do you know what you are talking about now? Want to check our accounts? The whereabouts of a huge sum of twelve trillion yuan is unknown? Do you really think that we are behind the scenes to control everything?"
At the Joint Staff meeting at the Pentagon, the Army chief of staff was slapping the table on Stark.
This matter is an issue left over from history. If you have the ability, you can pull Eisenhower out? You ask how much money he has been greedy for! Why should they hang out now as targets? It's not that they are greedy.
The remaining generals expressed their anger without exception, and we will not take the blame for this.
One of the navy's staff officers even sneered: "Mr. Stark, who do you think is paying for the weapons orders of Stark Industries in the past sixty years after the war? Is it Congress? Is it the White House?" ?The Pentagon is paying for it! What is it that makes you what you are today, where you can go to school at MIT instead of begging on the street? You can sit here and talk to us because of the Pentagon's support for Stark Industries for the past 60 years ! It is your so-called corruption that cultivated the behemoth of Stark Industries!"
A black chief of staff even sneered: "You are also responsible for the twelve trillion dollar gap. You are not much cleaner than us."
Stark was robbed for a while, his hands clenched into fists, and he wanted to equip the armor and beat up this group of people, but he knew that this idea was too absurd, and he had to follow the rules.
"Stark Industries will be inspected by the special investigation team, and the Pentagon is the same! This is not a discussion, this is a notice!" Stark completed the first meeting with the military leader after he took office amidst the sneers of the generals. meeting.
The issue of anti-government actually has little to do with him as the Secretary of State, but he was the first to bring it up. No one in the government dared to lift the cover, and the last excuse fell on him.
Anyway, the foreign work of your Secretary of State has been done by the bald man, so you come to punish **, we welcome it.
Isn't Stark ignorant of his family's development history, didn't he know it when he was ten or twenty, and didn't know it when he was thirty?
He knew that once this matter was revealed,
It will damage his reputation and make his parents questioned, but he believes that he is doing a righteous thing, and these sacrifices are worth it.
But he still underestimated the integrity and energy of this group of people, and the counterattack of interest groups began the next day.
Assassination is not enough. Anyway, Stark is also the new Secretary of State. He was beaten to death on the street just two days after he took office? That was too scary, and the counterattack of interest groups was still within the scope allowed by the rules, at least they thought it was allowed by the rules.
Stark Industries ushered in a big wave of turmoil. Thirty-three middle-level managers resigned in one day, and five executives resigned.
When facing many media, they looked righteous, saying that they were ashamed to work in a company like Stark Industries, and some even threw out a lot of evidence, saying that Stark was not for anti-corruption, It was to force the shareholders of Stark Industries to sell their shares.
Pepper is about to give birth, but in order to support Stark, she still forced herself to preside over various tasks and stabilize people's hearts.
Interest groups then came up with new tricks.
Many weapons manufacturers around the world actually have interests in this. Once Stark investigates the inside story, everyone will be affected to a certain extent.
Under the instigation of the Pentagon, major arms suppliers have stepped forward to fight against Taiwan.
The impact of this storm was even greater, and even Daisy, who was hiding in the distance and fishing, was affected.
Her Skye military industry was also involved in the storm, even if she instructed her men to exercise restraint, the effect was still not great. Employees are not Hydra, she can't hold a pistol to shut up those engineers, she can only assign Stark's old friend, Justin Hammer, to shout a few words on behalf of the company.
Seeing that Stark did nothing, various investigation teams successively entered major military bases across the United States to carry out investigations. In mid-March, the military launched a new trump card, and a large amount of secret information was thrown out by the Pentagon.
They are targeting the Avengers, and more precisely, they are preparing to provoke the Avengers to fight Stark.
They're going to muddy the water.
What about the relationship between Captain America and Peggy Carter, and the relationship between Peggy Carter and Howard Stark has been hyped for a while.
Then a bunch of black materials about the Black Widow were revealed. These were all her files when she was an agent. Many things were well-documented and could not be washed away.
What the black widow kidnapped Dr. Ethan and sold the physics Ph.D. to some warlord in the Middle East.
What black widow was ordered to seduce Howard Stark, obtain confidential information, and have photos and written records of a fight with Stark's mother.
There's even black material about good old Falcon, who attacked a village somewhere in the Middle East when he was a paratrooper. In this story, Falcon is a villain who grinned while killing people, and the U.S. military later spent a lot of money to compensate the village, and the money came from the twelve trillion gap.
This is very embarrassing, the Pentagon is undoubtedly trying to send a signal that no one is much cleaner than anyone these days, you Stark is not a saint at all! Even if you are a saint, what about your friends? Are you going to investigate them?
Being tossed about like this made superheroes very awkward when they were in meetings.
"Did Dr. Ethan really be brought to the Middle East by you? Why did you do this?" Stark asked the Black Widow seriously.
Dr. Ethan is of great significance to him. To some extent, it surpasses Captain America and Daisy. He is a key figure encountered at the most important turning point in his life.
Dr. Ethan is very important to Stark.
The black widow's face is also very ugly. In order to submit a nomination certificate to the US government, she left too much black material in the Pentagon. A Dr. Ethan, this is where it is!
Her name as Black Widow was not left behind by being a good person and doing good deeds.
"Tony, I'm sorry, but this was the mission at the time, there was no personal vendetta in it..."
