Chapter 1073: The News Scene, The Sacrificial Person
Tony's return was very high-profile. Although it was in the name of finishing his recuperation and returning to normal work, he did not show the weakness and low-keyness after recuperating from a serious illness at all. Instead, he directly used a press conference to show that he had returned.
This made many people wonder which play Tony is going to sing. And only a few people who are very familiar with him know that this is a kind of warning, a special kind of warning.
It can be said that Nick Fury immediately lowered his face when he heard the news. He slammed his fist hard on his car. And Coulson, who has always shown others with a smile, inevitably put on a look of embarrassment on his face.
These two people naturally knew who Tony was doing this for. Apart from warning them, such an action has no other meaning at all. And this directly illustrates a problem, that is, Tony completely distrusts them.
It's normal to think about it, after all, when they were making a decision before, they stood in a completely opposite position to Tony. And such a position is enough to make the narrow-minded Tony hate them for a lifetime.
But, is it necessary to do this? Whether it's Nick Fury or Coulson, in fact, they all think that Tony's move is really a bit of a fuss, and there is no need for it at all. Because they can indeed be regarded as sincerely repenting now. What happened to Steve hit them hard. And under such a blow, it is inevitable that they will have the psychology of revenge. And if you want to take revenge on the current Steve, you are waiting to use it as an enemy of the already powerful Hydra. This is simply not something that one person can do. The only option is to rely on a more powerful force. Tony was the most suitable and firmest among them, so there was only one choice before them.
It's just that Tony's attitude really gave them a headache, and in this case, they had to make a choice. Is it to cater to him in a low voice? Or deliberately raise their social status to be cold. Thinking and thinking, adding up and adding up. After all, the two decided not to provoke Tony on this issue.
Tony is a bomb character. They didn't think they were at fault for the incident at the beginning, but the result was that the two of them were imprisoned in prison and squatted there for almost two years. If this happened again, they were really not sure what kind of means Tony would use to deal with them.
Therefore, the two could only rush to the White House in a hurry. Use this way of meeting for the first time to show your attitude towards Tony.
A statement of attitude can determine many problems in the future. For example, friend or foe. Tony definitely couldn't tolerate a guy who was against him among his subordinates, no matter who he was. Therefore, when two people expressed such an attitude, he was actually relieved.
He could see the meaning of the two men surrendering,
And this kind of surrender now means that they will no longer have any right to fight against themselves in the future. Everything is still in his hands, and it is rare for Tony to become pregnant.
Just like now, in the face of this press conference ordered by him. He immediately showed a very praiseworthy attitude and praised these two guys.
"I think everyone knows that I went to recuperate because of some physical discomfort. When I was recuperating, I was actually worried whether the government's work could continue normally and stably. After all, the current government and The past government is two completely different models. It is more efficient and more centralized. The bombastic politicians who talked and laughed, lingered in receptions and luxurious venues in the past could not adapt to this onerous task. Only those real elites, real Only talented people are qualified for such a job. I am actually not very sure whether the people I temporarily appointed are such elite talents."
"And now, the facts have been proven. They have done a very good job, and I think they are fully capable of continuing in such an important position. So I announce that Mr. Nick Fury, and Phil Coulson The gentlemen will continue to assume their responsibilities in their current positions. In addition, Ms. Maria Hill will also become the new vice president to assist me in completing the work of the American government, thank you everyone!"
Three major positions were appointed in a row, especially the vacancy of vice president. The news given by Tony can be said to be explosive. So all of a sudden, all the reporters rushed forward, asking Tony one after another with an attitude of wanting to put the microphone in his mouth.
"Your Excellency, you are recuperating due to illness. May I ask what kind of illness you have? Is there a fatal risk?"
"It's just some simple physical discomfort. After recuperation, there is no problem."
"Your Excellency, the two gentlemen you appointed have no previous experience in office. Is it really appropriate to put them in this position?"
"They were staff members who served in secret agencies before, and decades of work experience make them fully capable of such a job. So I think they are very suitable!"
"Your Excellency, you have revoked the position of the current director of the FBI. Is there any special reason?"
"The FBI is responsible for domestic security and intelligence work. But according to my investigation, one of our bases has been completely captured by Hydra. Because of the confidentiality level of the base, I can't tell you how much the loss is. But I think this The FBI is fully responsible for this matter. Therefore, someone must take responsibility for this mistake!"
After answering many reporters' questions one after another, Tony waved his hand and signaled the surrounding guards to separate these reporters. Journalists do have the freedom to report news, but White House guards also have the right to maintain order on the scene. The two are not in conflict, the key is to see whose body is more dominant.
Obviously, the guards who rely on their physical fitness for food are even better. So after they intervened, even these reporters still wanted to post it like crazy dogs, trying to make some big news. But they were still helplessly pushed beyond the cordon bit by bit.
In this regard, American journalists are clearly inferior to their counterparts in the UK and Hong Kong. Seeing that Tony was about to return to the White House, at this moment, a person quickly approached him.
"Look, it's the former FBI Director Phillips!"
The sharp-eyed reporter immediately saw the identity of the visitor. In any case, this is also an intelligence leader in the United States, even if he used to be, he is an out-and-out big shot. And now that he appeared here, he still put on a menacing look. This immediately made the reporters present feel the breath of big news.
What is he doing? Almost all the reporters present were guessing at this question. And they, who never had to talk about it, started whispering directly in private.
"It should be unconvinced. I was forced to retire when I was only in my fifties, and I still use this kind of excuse. After thinking about it, I know that I will definitely not be reconciled."
"Maybe it's for begging for mercy. After all, he is an old man who has worked in the FBI for so many years. It may not be so easy for His Excellency the President to dismiss him. Most likely, it is just a compromise and a change of position for him."
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed in private? How can you come here in such an open manner?"
Although the physical mutation has not stopped, Tony's current physical fitness has reached the realm of superman. So these reporters were whispering privately, and he could hear them clearly. And this immediately made him deeply disgusted with the former director who appeared in front of him.
His dismissal was Maria's order, and on the surface he was quite innocent. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that he is not innocent at all.
Let’s not talk about Ultron’s escape, just being invaded by Hydra’s biochemical monsters into the heart of the country, almost capturing the entire base without being discovered by them, this can be regarded as their dereliction of duty.
The loss or something is secondary. The key is that this incident has already shown that he is not reliable in intelligence. If something like this happens again, and it happens in the city. Then the country that has finally settled down will immediately fall into chaos. Therefore, he has no reason to keep such a guy in this position.
It can be said that at this time, Tony has made up his mind. No matter what he said, don't even think about staying any longer. It's just that today, Phillips didn't come to discuss such a matter with him at all.
No one knows what happened to Phillips this month. Because no one goes back to pay attention to the fate of a loser. And only he himself knows how much he has paid for such a decision.
As a spy organization that monitors the country, the FBI has no reason not to offend others. Moreover, it will definitely not offend ordinary people, most of them are some vicious characters. In the past, when the great power of the United States was the backer, these people still had to be scrupulous and could not do anything to him. But now, he was wiped clean all of a sudden. Naturally, those who have been punished by the FBI in the past will take this account on him.
For more than a month, various assassinations against him emerged one after another. Although relying on his professional accomplishment and omnic's protection, he managed to survive several times. However, his family was not so lucky. His two sons and daughters, his wife and two grandchildren were all assassinated. And this directly pushed him to the edge of collapse.
Phillips, now in his fifties, has worked for the FBI for almost three decades. But the result was that the family was ruined. Who is going to settle this account with? His own answer was Tony Stark.
Because of him, I lost everything. Because of him, his family was ruined. Maybe he's a hero to this country. But for his own family, he is the culprit of everything. Therefore, he must make him pay the price, even at all costs!
