Chapter 586: Stabbing in the Back 4000 Words, Please Vote for Me

"We need air support! Air support! Not the fucking ammunition! Fuck!" Lieutenant Colonel Kono screamed as he used the radio to contact the command center. He no longer had the spare time he had half an hour ago. In fact, up to now, he was like dreaming. He had thought about going to the battlefield one day. Although the National Guard is not a federal army, due to the international situation, the US military still dispatches a part of the National Guard to the international battlefield every year.

For example, the Iraq War, there was the National Guard.

But he never thought that he would fight a war in his own country, his hometown!

When he received the governor's order to march into Los Angeles, Lieutenant Colonel Kono thought that at most he would suppress the mob, just like the 1994 riots. But he didn't expect to fight a bunch of monsters that he had only heard of in myths.

What's more unfortunate is that they don't seem to be able to beat them.

As red smoke appeared on the battlefield, the monsters became more violent and fearless. Lieutenant Colonel Kono saw with his own eyes that a Sasquatch had his entire abdomen blown open by a series of bullets, but this guy dragged his intestines and rushed to a soldier, biting the soldier to death with his mouth.

And this kind of situation is everywhere on the battlefield!

The National Guard still has a certain gap with the regular US military in terms of training and combat effectiveness, even in terms of discipline. Lieutenant Colonel Kono wanted to stabilize the situation very much, but the National Guard soldiers gradually retreated.

If it weren't for Kai's support with elite SWAT and SHIELD agents, Lieutenant Colonel Kono felt that his troops would have retreated long ago.

This fact made Lieutenant Colonel Kono feel very embarrassed.

In any case, the National Guard is an army, even if it is a reserve force, it can't be worse than the police, right?

But the fact is that the Los Angeles police are really much better than them!

In order to save his face as a soldier, Lieutenant Colonel Kono could only keep asking for support. Fortunately, this time the governor authorized the entire 40th Mechanized Infantry Division of the California National Guard to enter Los Angeles. For now, they are not short of people.

So although there are more and more monsters, they can still hold on.

Of course, they are not completely without problems. At least they have completely lost air supremacy.

There are too many flying monsters. Even if Wonder Woman is very powerful, it is impossible to block the entire sky. Many monsters still bypass Wonder Woman and attack the soldiers behind the defense line from the air. The attack methods of those monsters are not actually very powerful. At least compared with modern missiles and aircraft cannons, the killing effect they cause is just so-so.

But the panic they bring is much greater than those modern weapons.

The five armed helicopters that originally came with Lieutenant Colonel Kono to support were finished a few minutes ago. In terms of flexibility, helicopters are still much worse than those monsters. So Lieutenant Colonel Kro has been requesting support from the fighter formation.

"Hey baby!!! I heard someone needs air support!!" A deafening rock sound suddenly came from the air. Kono raised his head and a flash of fire whizzed past their heads.

"It's Iron Man!!!"

People began to cheer, and even Lieutenant Colonel Kono breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

Tony Stark's presence has been very weak since the beginning of the war. There is no way, who told him that the mecha he was wearing was not equipped with many weapons, only electromagnetic pulse cannons. Although the pulse cannons were also very powerful, they were still a little thin.

So in order not to embarrass himself, Tony ran home to change his equipment.

In fact, it was not a change of equipment. After all, the update of Iron Man's battle suit was not so fast. He just made a little improvement on the existing basis. He temporarily modified his mecha in Stark Tower and equipped it with a large number of weapon systems, including: 9mm semi-automatic pistol, shotgun, submachine gun, 40mm caliber howitzer 134 machine gun. At the same time, the back of the suit is equipped with a large number of grenades and 3 machine guns to ensure that the muzzle is cooled in time and the bullets are loaded in time, thus accompanied by a large number of grenades.

Tony used to think that adding so many weapons would make him look very unfashionable.

But actual combat makes true knowledge, and now he understands that the weapon system is necessary. Although it looks a bit bloated, it is much more practical.

"Everyone lie down, Tony's father's gift is coming!"

In addition to these, Tony also took out the weapons he invented before.

With Iron Man's warning, everyone hid in the bunker and prepared to meet the bombing.

As soon as Iron Man's voice landed, a group of black shadows flew from the direction of Stark Building, like a group of ravens.

With the sound of a propeller, everyone realized that the flying black shadows were all black drones. The shape of these drones is very strange, their propellers are at the tail, and the front is a bird-shaped flying wing.

There are a lot of these drones, as many as hundreds of them.

"The show has begun!"

Accompanied by Iron Man's rock song, the drones rushed towards the monsters in the sky. These drones have automatic tracking functions, and the most amazing thing is that these drones lock on to one target at a time, so there is absolutely no waste of firepower.

After locking on to the target, the drones suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the enemy. Not only that, they can also judge the enemy's counterattack and make evasive actions.

Boom!

After the first drone hit the target, it exploded immediately, and the power of the explosion was quite considerable.

Immediately afterwards, the drones rushed towards their respective targets, and explosions occurred one after another.

Kono stared at the fireworks in the sky with envy.

"Those idiots in the military, why don't you buy me some of this stuff."

Kai just came down from the front line to change ammunition. When he heard this, he said with a joking face: "You are thinking nonsense! If nothing else, just talk about the automatic tracking function of these things. One of them costs a million dollars. You Do you think the big guys above would be so generous?”

Large-scale arms transactions do not only look at performance, but also at cost-effectiveness. This thing is not as powerful as missiles, but it is more flexible than missiles, but the price is not much lower. From the military's point of view, the accuracy is about the same. It doesn't need to be that precise. Anyway, if a missile hits, it will be blown to the ground within a radius of dozens of meters. It doesn't need to be accurate to centimeters at all. That is meaningless.

Kono also knew this, and he just complained casually.

The enemies in the air were cleared, but there were still many drones left. These drones did not just run around, but circled around Tony.

This is kind of cool.

Kai looked at it from below and suddenly felt that this thing was good. It could be designed in the shape of a bat to support Batman.

Tony, of course, had no idea that his best friend was having his own secret. Instead, he brought gifts to his close friends.

A ray of silver light roared from the direction of Stark Tower, and finally stopped next to Tony, and then Tony snapped his fingers.

The silver-white mecha landed next to Kai with a swish.

"A gift for you!" Tony shouted.

Everyone around looked at Kai with envy. Men are obsessed with weapons, robots and the like.

Kai didn't refuse this time. After all, he was a clone now and didn't have much strength. He was already tired after struggling for so long.

Click, click, click, and then there was a sound of mechanical rotation.

Kai put on the silver Iron Man suit.

This suit of armor was Tony's previous work. Since it was experimental, it didn't have any painting, but it had everything it needed, and Tony had done some debugging, and the weapon system had just been installed. The firepower surged.

"Let's start partying!"

"go! go!"

…

As Kai put on his armor and soared into the sky, many people who were paying attention to this battle had countless thoughts in their hearts.

This is the first time that Tony has given his armor to someone else. Previously, Tony planned to give one to Kai, but Kai refused, which made many people beat their chests and beat their chests. But now Tony has given it to Kai again. From this point, we can see how much Tony cares about the leader of the crime team.

Many people began to investigate the relationship between Kai and Tony, hoping to get something useful from it. Even if it was nothing useful, they could also know how to have a good relationship with Tony.

But a group of people far away in Washington began to make more plans.

"Can we ask this little policeman to hand over his steel suit?" A man with a big belly asked the man next to him. This is Senator Stan, a senator on Capitol Hill in Washington and the chairman of the Congressional Armed Services Committee. There are many committees in the U.S. Congress, and the members of each committee are senators. They are responsible for all aspects of the U.S. Congress. For example, the Budget Committee is responsible for the annual budget review of various government departments. Overall, these committees are extremely powerful. And this Senator Stan was the one who advocated for Tony Stark to hand over the Iron Man suit.

Next to him is his assistant, who is considered a confidential secretary and is responsible for many confidential matters.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Unexpectedly, his assistant disagreed with Stan Shen's idea.

"Why? Stark is a troublesome character. If possible, I don't want to be related to this guy. And this policeman is obviously easier to deal with."

"No, in fact the identity of this Officer Wayne is more complicated than you think." As he said, the assistant took out a pile of documents and handed them to Senator Stan. "He is not only a policeman, but also a shareholder of a huge multinational group. In addition, he also has his own connections in the military. According to the investigation, he has a very good relationship with the Special Operations Command. The current Commander of the Special Operations Command, Cole General Don has a very good personal relationship, so even if you don’t consider his personal relationship with Tony Stark, he is not easy to deal with. In addition, he also has an extraordinary personal relationship with the President.”

After the assistant finished speaking, he pointed to the TV and said: "After this war, his identity will be more complicated. In view of his identity, he will be the only face of the government in this war. We must take into account the face of the government." ”

Stan Shen is an old politician, and he knows very well how bad the government is in this war.

For example, until now, California has been fighting alone. The federal government has done nothing!

So far, neither the President nor the Secretary of Defense has happened, and federal support has not arrived. What's worse is that it was the military that started this incident, and it was S.H.I.E.L.D. that brought things to a climax! Damn it, you're such a good guy, everyone is gone when you wipe your ass.

After this, public opinion will never give up until the government is scolded and vomited blood.

There are three major centers of American public opinion.

New York, Washington and Los Angeles.

New York and Washington are relatively the centers of traditional serious media. The difference is that New York is more inclined to economics and finance, while Washington is more political. But this does not mean that the influence of Los Angeles as a public opinion platform is low. On the contrary, in this era of entertainment to death, the influence of Los Angeles media is not only not low, but even higher.

In addition, the media has always been fond of finding faults with the government. It would be strange if the media in other places would let the government go.

In order to ensure that it is not scolded to death, the government must do something.

What to do?

Of course, set up a model!

Kai is the best model.

He is a policeman, a government official in a sense, and has military experience. He is also a good candidate for the military.

So in order to pull up the last fig leaf, Kai must be set up as a model.

Not only should it be established, but it should also be written about.

In short, the whole people should create stars to deflect public opinion.

Not only Kai, but also Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Tony Stark need to be promoted.

It's not that these politicians like these superheroes so much, but there is no way. Compared with the public criticism, they can only hold their noses and praise these superheroes.

This is nothing.

Anyway, for politicians and the media, it is normal to praise you today and turn against you tomorrow, and there is no pressure to do it.

Now the government needs superheroes to divert the public's attention, so it is naturally willing to praise these superheroes. When they are no longer needed, they can start to step on them.

But Kai is different. He is not a superhero. He is a policeman, a solid policeman. For the sake of the government's face, they do not allow others to step on him.

The same is true for Stanham.

After all, he is a member of the government. Of course, the Senate and the government are two teams in name and belong to different groups. But are there really so many things in it?

In short, from the government's standpoint, Stanham cannot touch Kai.

Of course, he can also give orders to Kai directly in the name of the government.

But the problem is that he is a Los Angeles policeman and is not under the jurisdiction of the federal government.

And Kai is a hero in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles government and the California government treat him as a treasure. Others also need votes.

California is a thorn in the side of the states in the United States. The fact that California wants to be independent is not a recent thing.

California has a good economy and has always looked down on those poor brothers in China.

California and Texas have always been the core of American separatism.

Texas is unhappy with the northern states because of the remnants of the Civil War. California is simply too rich.

In short, it's very troublesome.

"Then we have no other way?"

"Not yet. After all, Tony gave the things to Kai. With his relationship with Kai, Kai can return the mecha at any time and borrow it out when he needs it... In short, there are many ways. Unless we can deal with Tony Stark, there is no point."

"Okay, okay." Senator Stan suddenly felt a headache.
