Chapter 207 The Old Enemy of the Stark Family
Arlington on the Potomac River, the highest military command of the United States, the Pentagon.

On the second floor, known as the "Golden Hall", in the banquet hall, soothing music with fast rhythm and melody is flowing quietly. The important members of the military committee are walking back and forth in dresses studded with medals, and the chairman of the committee is among them. Senator Duncan Hunter and the Minister of Defense attended together, and we can know the heavy weight of this banquet.

The eyes of the two dignitaries kept wandering, and after the whispered reminders from their confidantes, they suddenly realized that the real protagonist of the banquet hadn't arrived. The New York genius who hadn't been seen for a while was said to have left all the work in hand, Travel to Eastern Europe.

Senator Hunter and Minister of Defense Ashton Carter looked at each other and smiled, just as they tolerated Tony Stark before, these big men always have great patience for capable and valuable young people, and they will The bohemian, which is regarded as a genius, feels that this is an interesting shining point.

Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining all these preferential treatments is that you have the outstanding ability or high value to win the appreciation of the big shots.

Tony stood at the corner of the banquet, muttering ironically: "They saw me before, but they wanted to lick their faces and come over, but now they are used to ignoring my existence."

Pepper took his hand, covered his mouth and smiled lightly. This was originally a celebration banquet to congratulate Umbrella for winning the order from the Ministry of Defense. All eyes were naturally on Sean who did not appear. As for her and Tony is just a foil.

Originally, Stark Industries was not on the invitation list. On the one hand, it had withdrawn from the military industry field, and on the other hand... the Ministry of Defense didn't like this playboy very much.

Every military official who serves as a procurement official or deals with Tony Stark must have two basic qualities, which are patience and psychological endurance beyond ordinary people.

God knows how mean and vicious that bohemian playboy can be. Maybe he will talk about your attire, your taste in red wine and cigars, and make all of them worthless, and by the way, show a very natural aura of wealth And luxurious style - but the most annoying thing is that this is not intentional, and enjoying the best things has become a way of doing things in Tony's bones.

If you want to do what you like and talk about women with Mr. Stark, who feeds half of the New York paparazzi, it would be even more wrong. He will start with women of different nationalities and skin colors, and talk to you with eloquence , cover models of fashion magazines, popular actresses in Hollywood, and even beauties in academia, and elaborate on their skills and charms.

Then, no doubt, you will start to doubt life - how barren and boring your own life is compared to this favored child who is born with untold wealth and a genius brain with charming charm.

This is Tony's purpose, to make everyone believe that he is a unique existence, that his light cannot be concealed, and he will always be the focus of people.

But obviously after many twists and turns, this situation has changed.The appearance of a new focal point overwhelmed Tony Stark's dazzling halo, so that no one has noticed his arrival until now.

"You beat me without going on stage?" Tony was secretly annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

"Military bosses are waiting to see your joke." Colonel Rhodes came over, and he looked at his aggrieved friend, "You said in the hearing yourself that no one will be able to imitate the Ark reactor in 20 years. .”

Tony couldn't help being silent for a moment, which is why he attended the celebration banquet. Even though Stark Industries withdrew from the military field, the contacts and strength still remained. When Ivan Vanke's energy weapon was successfully developed, Pepper Notified myself immediately.

The reason why energy weapons stay at the conceptual level is that one is energy consumption and the other is miniaturization. These are two problems that restrict the transformation of thermal weapons to energy weapons.

But the big Russian man named Ivan Vanke did it. He first successfully imitated the Ark reactor, solved the energy supply and conversion loss, and secondly achieved miniaturization. Although there are still minor flaws such as recoil and accuracy, he has to admit , this is already the prototype of an energy weapon.

Based on this, laser weapons, ray weapons, and particle beam weapons can be extended to develop various high-tech equipment with powerful attack power, long-distance precision strikes, and targeted large-scale killing, and apply them to individual weapons. It's a matter of time.

The last time I saw Sean, Tony warned in the tone of someone who has experienced it, saying that the military procurement field is very deep, and ordinary people should not get involved. As a result, Ivan Vanke's research results are undoubtedly a wonderful silent ridicule.

"I checked the information of the Russian. His father and my father used to be collaborators. It is not surprising that there is a blueprint for the Ark reactor... It's just that he succeeded in imitating it with only one sketch. I'm surprised."

It is rare for Tony to express his appreciation. He has seen the first generation of energy weapons, and their structural ideas and energy cores can be called works of genius.

"But compared to me, it's still a bit worse." Then he added.

Colonel Rhodes and Pepper turned their heads at the same time. It is more appropriate to keep silent at this time.

Although the real protagonist of this banquet did not appear, Ivan Vanke, as a weapon designer, made his public appearance for the first time under the leadership of Harry and Sean's female secretary Yuriko.

Thinking of decades ago, my father was extremely humiliated by Howard Stark, and then he was deported and sent back to the turbulent Red Empire. To Siberia, spent a lifetime in alcohol and depression.

All this is given by the Bystark family!
He stared at Tony, who was standing on the edge, with a fierce smile on his face. Sooner or later, he would defeat the man with the moustache, and the hatred and shame that Stark and his sons imposed on the Vanke family would be doubled.

The big shots surrounded Ivan, blocking his line of sight. Thinking of the advice of the young boss, this tall and strong Russian man tried to make himself appear a little more amiable, restrain his aggression in his bones, and follow the group of people to exchange greetings.Harry took Yuriko and began chatting and laughing with important military officials, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to its peak.

Tony felt Ivan's hostile gaze, and his heart trembled. Maybe Sean did find a good opponent for him.

"I still have the time to travel to Eastern Europe... It's really enviable." Stark couldn't help laughing at himself.

Since he devoted himself to the promotion of new energy sources, he has rarely had extra time to enjoy life. He is usually not in the underground studio, improving the new generation of Mark series armor, or flying around the world with Pepper.

So much so that Tony was about to forget his previous dissolute life, he left his busy work at hand, and then went abroad for vacation alone.

"Maybe that's what Pepper said maturely."

Tony, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered something, walked quickly to Sean's personal secretary, and said in a low voice: "Tell your boss, be careful of that guy Justin Hammer, although smart people know that at this stage No one can touch Umbrella, but not everyone is smart enough."

After finishing speaking, he walked away, leaving Pepper with an embarrassed smile: "This is Tony's unique way of expressing concern."
