Agent Phil Coulson looked at Chen Mo with a dumbfounded expression.
Shouldn't Chen Mo refuse with disdain, and then convince him with the righteousness of maintaining world peace and protecting all of humanity?
Who would have thought that Chen Mo would agree so easily? The speech that he had prepared for a long time was now useless. But what did his last words mean? I'm being conscripted?
For Chen Mo, the dictator of Hydra and the core leader of S.H.E.L.D., the title of Major General of the US Army and Special Force Commander of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau was not attractive at all. However, for his next actions, having this identity on the surface would be much more convenient.
After all, although Hydra and S.H.E.L.D. were powerful, they were hidden behind the scenes and were not suitable to appear in front of the public. It was not convenient to use them.
Chen Mo originally joined the US Army with Steve more than seventy years ago, and then joined the strategic scientific reserve team jointly established by various allied countries. Now that he accepted the title of Major General of the US Army and the Special Force Commander of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Bureau, it was just to restore his old identity.
Moreover, although Chen Mo accepted these two appointments, he did not intend to accept their leadership and command.
I accept the rights, but what about the obligations? I'm already maintaining world peace. If anyone dares to criticize me, Chen Mo will let them know what it means to humiliate themselves.
Of course, the military, the government, the International Security Council, and Nick Fury were not naive enough to think that they could command Chen Mo at will.
Flipping through Chen Mo's dusty files, one could see that Chen Mo's style of doing things had always been swift, decisive, arrogant, cold, and unruly.
He was an absolute man of action. To maintain world peace and fight against evil forces, Chen Mo absolutely did his best. However, he had his own principles and way of doing things. He did not have the slightest respect for the rich and powerful. It was simply unrealistic to try to command him like an ordinary soldier.
This was also the reason why Nick Fury felt that Chen Mo's appointment went too smoothly. Chen Mo was so arrogant that he thought his plan would have some resistance. Now, it seemed that these politicians and the military were not stupid enough to see the value of Chen Mo.
They did not expect Chen Mo to absolutely obey their orders. He was more of a strategic force. They could handle normal situations by themselves, but once something major happened, Chen Mo would come in handy. When it came to the interests of mankind, he would naturally do his best.
Chen Mo destroyed the powerful Hydra and changed the situation of World War II. At the last moment, in order to prevent the city from being bombed and causing a large number of casualties, he flew the Hydra super bomber into the sea without hesitation. There was nothing wrong with his thoughts and character. This was also the reason why they dared to give Chen Mo the power.
Chen Mo was a trump card for them. They just needed to treat him well on normal days, and he would show his great value at critical moments. They only needed appropriate supervision. Agent Phil Coulson was a good candidate.
He was steady, experienced, and had strong organizational and operational skills. He could assist Chen Mo very well and play a very good role in supervising him. Therefore, when Nick Fury learned that Chen Mo had recruited Phil Coulson and transferred him to the special forces, he did not object.
Although Chen Mo only intended to enjoy the power after accepting the appointment and did not intend to take command, Chen Mo was already responsible enough. Seventy years ago, he started the Ice Warrior Project to prepare for the future alien invasion.
Because in Chen Mo's view, the whole world belonged to him. It was his responsibility as the Lord of Earth to maintain the safety of his territory. As for now, it was like a king visiting incognito and giving himself the title of an imperial envoy to facilitate his work.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Mo and Agent Phil Coulson returned to Washington by helicopter.
When the helicopter landed on the tarmac on the roof of the headquarters of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Security Bureau, on the other side, Tony Stark was also walking down from his private jet.
This was the UA Baghlan Air Force Base in Afghanistan. Beside the aircraft ramp, more than a dozen senior officers of the UA and Afghan military stood there, ready to welcome Tony Stark.
"Hello, General!"
Tony Stark, in a suit and sunglasses, walked down the ramp briskly with an unruly smile on his face. He extended his hand to a senior UA officer standing at the front.
The base commander smiled and shook hands with Tonny.
"Hello, Mr. Stark, we are looking forward to your weapon display."
…
In a desolate no man's land dozens of kilometers away from the Baghlan Air Force Base.
On a high ground, several military Hummers were parked, and dozens of heavily armed UA soldiers were on guard with guns. On one side of the high ground, more than a dozen senior officers of the two countries were listening attentively to Tony Stark's speech.
"Is it terrifying? Or is it respectable? "
"I wonder if it's possible to do both."
"Next, I would like to introduce to you the best of Stark's' Freedom 'weapon series."
"It is the first missile system equipped with our exclusive thruster technology."
"Some people say that the best weapon is the one that never needs to be used."
"I have reservations."
"I prefer a weapon that only needs to be used once."
"This is the experience of my late father, and also the experience of the military."
"This experience has been proven by history."
"Find an opportunity to try this weapon. I can assure you that those bad guys will never want to come out of the hole again."
After Tonny finished speaking, he waved to the operator on the side. Immediately, a missile vehicle not far from the crowd moved. With the sound of the motor running, the missiles on the weapon rack were lifted and began to adjust their direction, aiming at a mountain a few kilometers away from the crowd.
Then, one of the three missiles was activated. A fierce white flame jet ejected from the tail, pushing the missile away from the weapon rack and flying into the air at high speed.
The powerful thruster gave the missile extremely high speed. It soon crossed more than half the distance, flew over the target mountain, and began to descend.
A burst of fire suddenly lit up, and the outer shell of the missile body was thrown away, revealing dozens of small missiles neatly arranged inside.
These small missiles were then ejected from the missile body, and the thruster at the tail was activated at the same time, pushing these missiles to fly quickly toward the mountain below. Under the guidance of the positioning system, the dozens of small missiles were evenly spread out, covering the entire mountain.
"I solemnly recommend the Jericho missile to everyone."
After Tony Stark finished speaking, he slowly raised his hands and stretched them flat on both sides of his body.
Behind him, dozens of missiles fell from the air with flames trailing behind them, hitting the mountain and causing a violent explosion. The soil of the mountain was blown up by the explosion and flew hundreds of meters into the air. The powerful shock wave generated by the explosion also rushed to the surroundings at high speed.
The strong air wave generated by the shock wave, wrapped in a large amount of dust on the ground, violently rushed up from behind Tony Stark, blowing away the crowd who could not react in time. The hats on their heads were blown to god knows where.
Tony Stark, on the other hand, was already mentally prepared. He simply took a few steps forward due to the impact of the shockwave. Then, he elegantly straightened his clothes and walked to a few large metal boxes with the Stark logo on them.
Opening the lid, a burst of cold air came out, and the bottom of the box automatically rose. The wine glasses, ice cubes, and several bottles of wine neatly arranged in the slots rose to the top of the box.
Tony Stark picked up a glass of whiskey with ice and said as he walked.
"If you buy more than 500 million US dollars at once, you get free wine."
"For peace."
… …
The entire weapon demonstration was very successful. The great power of the Jericho missile excited all the soldiers present. Tonny confidently said in a subsequent call with the company's veteran, Obadiah Stang, that he would make a lot of money this time.
However, on their way back to the base by car, they encountered a fierce terrorist attack. All the soldiers who protected Tonny were killed, and he himself was seriously injured by a missile made by Stark Industries launched by the terrorists.
When he woke up, he found that he was locked in a cave and an electromagnet was embedded in his chest, which was connected to a car battery with a wire.
It turned out that after the missile exploded, many shrapnel were shot into his body. Dr. Ethan, who was imprisoned by the terrorists with him, operated on him and removed most of the shrapnel, but there were still a few shrapnel close to the heart that could not be removed. Once they entered the heart, they would slowly tear Tony Stark's heart apart and he would die of heartbreak.
This electromagnet could attract these shrapnel, prevent them from entering the heart, and save his life.
The terrorists who came later asked Tony Stark to make the powerful Jericho missile that he had demonstrated before for them. With his own terrible state and the discovery that the terrorists were all equipped with weapons made by Stark Industries, Tonny was discouraged and had no fighting spirit. He planned to sit and wait for death.
Fortunately, with the encouragement of Dr. Ethan, Tonny finally cheered up.
He knew that even if he made missiles for them, they would not let him go, so he agreed on the surface, but in fact, he was planning to escape.
In a desperate situation, Tonny's mind was very clear. A wonderful idea quickly took shape in his mind, and he quickly completed all the designs.
With the help of Dr. Ethan and the tools and raw materials provided by the terrorists, Tonny quickly created a miniaturized Arc Reactor, replaced the heavy car battery, and installed it directly on his chest.
More than ten days later, Mark 1 was finally completed, and it was time to act.
However, just as the two of them began to assemble the Mark 1 on Tony's body, due to them dodging the surveillance cameras, they aroused the suspicion of the terrorists who had been monitoring outside. They immediately sent several armed terrorists to the cave where Tony and Selina were imprisoned to investigate.
A few people shouted outside the cell door, but no one came over. Seeing this, a few terrorists opened the door of the cell. The bomb that Tony had set up on the door in advance immediately exploded, killing all of them.
But the explosion would soon attract more enemies, and the program of Mark 1 Iron Man Armor had not been transmitted yet, and they were in a very dangerous situation.
Seeing that the situation was critical, in order to buy time for Tonny, Dr. Ethan picked up a terrorist's rifle and rushed out of the cell door, intending to use his life to buy time for Tonny.
Although he had never fought and all the bullets hit the top of the cave, Dr. Ethan still drove out several terrorists who rushed into the cave with his fierce shooting without saving ammunition and an indomitable momentum.
However, when he angrily roared and drove a few terrorists who were afraid of death to the entrance of the cave, he discovered that more than a dozen terrorists were guarding there, and more than a dozen pitch-black gun muzzles were all pointed at him.
Ethan put down the rifle in his hand a little dispirited. He should have bought enough time for Tonny. His family is dead, and I should go to accompany them.
