Chapter 1060: Aftermath (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Recommend!!!)

"Hannibal!!!" When Hannibal appeared on the yacht, Colonel Rhodes immediately protected the president behind him as if he was facing a great enemy. →

After all, everyone knows that Hannibal has always had a bad relationship with the federal government. In fact, up to now, the federal government still has the power to arrest Hannibal. As for the reason, it is because Hannibal killed people on the surface, but the actual reasons are varied. So even if Hannibal did not deliberately go against the federal government many times, Colonel Rhodes still instinctively protected the president to prevent Hannibal from suddenly hurting people.

Hannibal glanced at Rhodes, and then he had no interest.

"This is a stabilizer." Hannibal handed Kai a few potions. Then he said: "Pepper is in big trouble, but Tony should be able to solve it."

"Thank you." Kai took the potion.

"If it's okay, I'll leave first. After all, I just got a lot of conscious things." Hannibal did not communicate with the president at all.

Benjamin was also very self-aware and kept silent. After all, no one knows better than him what the conflict between Hannibal and the federal government is.

When Hannibal disappeared, Benjamin and Rhodes both breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, with such a dangerous person around, everyone would be nervous. Actually, to be honest, Hannibal never really fought against the federal government. It was just that the government kept fueling the rumors about Hannibal in order to crack down on Hannibal, causing Hannibal's cruelty to be magnified countless times. As a result, public opinion in turn affected the government itself... and also felt that Hannibal was a vicious criminal against the government.

This is also a typical example of lying too much and fooling yourself.

"Huh..." Benjamin did not hide his emotions in front of Kai. He exhaled fiercely and made a "survived" expression: "Kai... Although I don't want to comment on your dating partner, Hannibal... This will make it difficult for me to do so."

This is actually quite rude. You said that you would not comment on Kai's dating partner, but you said it was difficult to do so? You are both a jerk and a jerk!

Besides, who are you to interfere in Kai's dating?

Benjamin is absolutely not so bad at speaking normally. He said this on purpose because he wanted to test him.

The federal government knows that Kai has a good personal relationship with many superheroes. This makes them pay more attention to Kai, but also very wary. After all, once the government and those superheroes conflict, Kai's position is worth being vigilant about.

Although Kai didn't hear the temptation. But Hannibal himself is Kai's clone, and he naturally knows what kind of temptation Hannibal has for those officials.

"Don't feel difficult, anyway, I won't interfere with your affairs with Hannibal. No matter if you are torn apart by Hannibal or you catch Hannibal. I won't interfere. And... with Hannibal's ability, if you can catch him... that would be a ghost. When that time comes, he won't have the face to ask me for help."

Kai didn't lie. When Hannibal didn't go out... this person didn't exist at all!

Can you catch a non-existent person?

In this case, will Kai have the dilemma of choosing between the government and Hannibal?

The answer is... No!

Not only Hannibal, but also Batman.

Every time this happens, Kai's answer is very simple.

You want to catch them?

Go and catch them!

Anyway, my bottom line is that I can't catch them. Others... you can do whatever you want!

"Isn't he your friend?" Rhodes felt very strange, because this did not fit Kai's personality.

In the information Rhodes saw, Kai was a person who cared about his friends. But now his behavior... is very unreasonable.

"Not really." Kai said very honestly. He was telling the truth. Is there anyone who is bored enough to be friends with him? Then he might have a serious illness. It's better to see a psychologist. "It's just what we need." "Everyone may work together for something. But we are not friends."

"So, even you don't know his details?" Benjamin asked curiously.

Although he didn't have an urgent need to pursue rejuvenation, who knows if he will have it in the future? It won't hurt to know more.

"I don't know."

"Then how did you contact him? "Rod noticed the leader's intention, so he stood up. As a pioneer, how could he ask the boss about everything?

"Are you interrogating me?" Kai squinted at Rod.

He was happy to confuse them, but that didn't mean he was willing to be an interrogated person!

"No, no, no!" Benjamin quickly stood up. His good relationship with Kai was definitely more beneficial than harmful to him. He would not be stupid enough to let the relationship between the two have a rift. "It's just a casual question. Everyone knows that Hannibal is mysterious... But we always thought you would understand him. After all, you have appeared together many times. Curious, just pure curiosity. "

"Humph! "When you need to be angry, you need to be angry. Otherwise, with the nature of those politicians, if you dare to take a step back, they will dare to take more risks.

So Kai was too lazy to continue, after all, it would be a bit deliberate. In short, it is enough to express his attitude.

…

Although what happened today was serious, the news was calm the next day.

The bombing of a port is not a trivial matter, but it is not a big deal either. After all, it is just an abandoned port, and the only people who really care about it are criminals.

As for the brother in the White House, the president was kidnapped and almost sent to heaven by terrorists, but there was no report at all. Likewise, the attack on Air Force One became a top-secret internal document.

Of course, this was a mistake, and Tony Stark and the Stark Group stepped in to solve all the trouble.

The port was bombed, and the Stark Group came forward to say that the port would be rebuilt.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Miami.

Even the problems on Rhodes' side were thanks to Tony.

Rhodes' Iron Patriot... was found. After it was pulled out of the ruins, it was still smoky, short-circuited and scorched. It could be renamed the Beggar Patriot. What makes Rhodes even more sad is that this is the second time that his mecha has been hijacked by a Ministry of Defense contractor...

Originally, the blame should undoubtedly be thrown on Rhodes.

After all, he is the most suitable, right?

But because of Tony, Rhodes not only failed to take responsibility, but also blamed the Pentagon and the military.

After all, not only did you not know how to choose a partner, you also made blind modifications, causing the mecha to be invaded and hijacked time and time again! Can you still do some personnel work?

This time it was to kidnap the president, what about next time?

This time it was sheer luck that Kai happened to be investigating the matter! What if there was no Kai?

Then he will become the most notorious traitor in American history!

Who suffered this?

Colonel Rhodes said that he no longer trusts those bullshit engineers in the Department of Defense and the military.

Yes, so far, Rhodes has figured out that the actual owner of Iron Patriot has never been the Pentagon or the military.

When Rhodes got the Iron Patriot, it was not allocated by the military and the Pentagon, and they didn't spend any money. It was given to Colonel Rhodes by Tony!

If he takes it out to serve the country, he has a high level of consciousness. But you cannot deprive him of his private property.

Gu Fu

So with Tony's support, he encouraged Rhodes to be tough for a while.

Even if it might delay time, he insisted on leaving the repair work to Tony. Otherwise, what should I do if someone else hacks the Patriot Armor again?

For such requirements, the military and the Ministry of National Defense have no good solution.

It is true that the basket was too big this time.

The other is the Vice President.

On the night after the incident ended, he was arrested by the special secret service.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Vice President and terrorists to be made public. But his cooperation with terrorists is something that the top government officials absolutely cannot accept. If this kind of thing is not severely punished, who knows what will be discovered in the future.

Political struggle is political struggle.

There are still fairly clear rules for political struggles in the United States. That means not harming human life.

We are all upper-class people, so there is no need to be so extreme.

Even after retirement, many senior government officials will be protected by unspoken rules and will never be blamed! No matter how much money you are greedy for, as long as you retire, it will be nothing. This is closely related to the political environment in the United States. There is no way, you can't expect in a capitalist country like the United States to let those high-ranking officials and powerful people contribute to this country for free, right?

Moreover, the collusion between politics and business in the United States has reached a new level.

For example, if a company wants to bribe a politician, it will never give money directly. That's too low.

Very beautiful people like to talk about corrupt Chinese officials and say that the United States is clean...

Haha, look at the families of politicians in the United States. Are any of them moneyless? There is not even a middle class, just a wealthy class!

That's because their bribery methods are more advanced.

Often when a politician helps a company in certain places, the company will never give money directly, but will 'sponsor' it in various names, such as campaign funds, various speeches, activities, etc.

Many American politicians write memoirs after retirement.

Okay, so are these memoirs profitable? Of course you make money! But how many people will buy those memoirs?

The answer is that almost no one buys it... who the hell would read something full of lies.

The other thing is the speech. Just giving speeches everywhere.

There is money to be made for these speeches. So where does the money come from? Do major universities really have such budgets to invite politicians to speak to students? Universities invite politicians to speak...what's the point? No one can really learn anything from this thing, right?

But it doesn’t matter, someone is sponsoring it!

In this way, the money that politicians earn from speeches has nothing to do with those sponsors, it is given by the university!

Another way for politicians to make money after retirement is to work as a senior executive in a company. The annual salary is scary. You don’t have to do anything every day, just have a name.

These methods are nothing, there are more, such as setting up an information consulting company, also known as a lobbying company, or setting up a research laboratory, also known as a think tank. These can make money!

In short, there are various ways to make money, and they are all legal.

This method of interest exchange is basically public.

This also makes it easier for American politicians to become spokespersons for capital and interest groups.

In this environment, the battles in the American political arena are actually not fierce, and most of them are just rhetoric.

This time, the Vice President not only elevated it to direct personal safety, but also cooperated with terrorists... This has exceeded the bottom line.

It’s impossible not to catch him.

But the news that someone like the Vice President is colluding with terrorists is so depressing. Once it is revealed, Benjamin and the entire federal government will suffer huge public criticism. After all, it was Benjamin who nominated the Vice President! Both houses of Congress actually agreed...

Everyone adds up.

Forget about it, just arrest him secretly, and then announce to the public that the vice president is unable to hold the position of vice president due to physical reasons, and then... take the initiative to submit his resignation. The two houses of Congress quickly passed it, and then came the news that the Vice President was seriously ill with a brain tumor. Then the White House quickly and regretfully informed that the Vice President had died of a brain tumor.

The whole process is extremely fast!

This is certainly not in line with procedural justice!

But compared with the negative effects it brings, the so-called procedural justice is completely meaningless.

And the vice president's family has nothing to say yet.

say what?

That his father is actually a crazy criminal who colluded with terrorists?

How good it is now, the old man is proud to keep his name both before and after him. More importantly, it does not affect them themselves.

Another thing, the government is also very concerned about.

That's Killian's Extremis virus.

That thing is definitely a technology that would make any country drool!

Although, some of the desperate soldiers who self-destructed and the state they were in when they died showed that this thing was definitely a big problem. But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. The green fat man's terrifying fighting power also has various side effects that are difficult to solve. Now there is a desperate virus that can breathe fire, fly, and even regenerate its limbs. Of course, there is a huge price to pay for gaining superpowers. However, for people without superpowers, the temptation of the Extremis virus is still great.

Especially for people with disabilities.

The ability to regenerate limbs brought about by the Extremis Virus is definitely an irresistible temptation.

Moreover, when life is in danger, it is cost-effective to use the Extremis virus to save one's life. With the help of inhibitors afterwards, the chance of self-destruction is not high, and you also have superpowers, which is much better than dying directly. Secondly, this technology can increase the number of experimental products to make up for the yield rate. I believe that many high-ranking officials will never be stingy with this investment. It is just human life, and the price is clearly marked in this country. For those people, anything that can be solved with money is nothing.

Furthermore, the application prospects of Extremis Virus are not limited to these.

Although Kai can easily deal with desperate soldiers, that's because it's Kai.

But try someone else?

If the Extremis project had a character like Tony or was simply promoted by the government, it would have a completely different meaning.

Killian is actually at the level of a gang leader, and has not really utilized the true potential of the Extremis virus. If those Extremis warriors are equipped with exclusive equipment and technology, the combat effectiveness they can exert will definitely be no less than that of those superheroes.

Even if an organic system appears, it can definitely be called an overwhelming combat effectiveness on the battlefield!

It can change the pattern of the future battlefield!

And that's why Kai would want this technology.
