The next evening, on the square outside the large exhibition hall in Queens.
Luxury cars were parked one after another at the entrance of the exhibition hall; most of New York's top businessmen and Military and political dignitaries had come here today.
In addition, reporters from major newspapers did not miss this grand event, and flashes of light did not stop for a moment.
On the square, a large number of ordinary citizens who had been attracted by the flyers also gathered.
They were not qualified to enter the exhibition hall to watch, but they could also learn about what was happening inside the exhibition hall in sync through the large projected screen on the square.
Moreover, due to the large flow of people, many small vendors had gathered here, such as clowns selling balloons, and various food trucks selling ice cream, hamburgers, and drinks, and so on.
So it was also quite lively.
The citizens in the square outside were not particularly interested in Hammer Industries' new products inside the exhibition hall; they were mainly there to join the fun and wait for the fireworks display after the event ended.
And among these flowing people, were Li Chuan, Wanda, Mei, and Xiao Peter.
"Darling, it looks like it's about to start inside!"
Wanda grabbed Li Chuan and pointed at the large screen displayed in front of the exhibition hall.
The large screen that had been playing an advertisement about the development history of Hammer Industries suddenly paused and then switched to the perspective of the main stage in the exhibition hall.
Within the view, Justin Hammer walked to the center of the stage with confident steps, a look of self-assurance on his face.
At this time, the citizens outside were also attracted by the screen and turned their gaze towards it.
Hammer picked up the microphone and began to speak volubly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, for a long time, our country has let brave soldiers risk fighting. Then Iron Man appeared, and we thought we wouldn't need to sacrifice lives anymore, but he selfishly refused to make advanced technology public.
It's truly a pity."
At this point, the camera turned to Tony, who was sitting in the first row below, and Pepper, who was carrying his portable Iron Man Suit.
Tony showed a very friendly smile and gave Hammer on the stage the middle finger.
Hammer's expression changed slightly upon seeing this but immediately smiled again and said:
"It's okay, friends, our Hammer Industries is no worse than Stark Industries.
Today, major newspapers will have a lot of trouble because their ink won't be enough.
Next, I will introduce you to the new face of the United States Military - the Hammer Iron Soldier!"
As Hammer turned around, a large spotlight shone on the right side of the stage, and eight fully metallic iron robots, each three meters tall, immediately rose from below the stage.
"These are the Army Iron Robots, and below are the Navy Iron Robots!"
Hammer directed the spotlight to move to the left, and eight more robots with slightly different appearances rose from below the stage.
"Finally, the Air Force Iron Robots and the Marine Corps Robots!"
In front of the stage, sixteen robots rose simultaneously from both sides.
This scene immediately caused most of the audience below to exclaim in surprise, and even Tony, who had been sitting in the front row with the intention of watching a joke, frowned.
Because Tony knew that with the technical level of Hammer Industries, it was impossible to produce these robots on the stage, which looked quite good in performance.
"Hammer Industries reporting to the nation!"
Justin Hammer stood in front of everyone and gave a not-so-standard Military salute; all the robots behind him also saluted simultaneously.
"Colonel Rhodes isn't here, it seems Tony hasn't sent War Machine out yet."
Outside, Li Chuan looked at the screen where the War Machine suit did not appear, and with a thought, he knew why.
Originally, Tony felt that he was about to die, which was why he pretended to fall out with Rhodes and let him take the War Machine.
But now, because Li Chuan could detoxify him, he didn't have to worry about palladium poisoning, and coupled with the constant pressure from the government and Military, it was naturally impossible for him to send the War Machine suit out now.
"Da da da da da!"
Just as Hammer Industries' robots temporarily pushed the atmosphere to a climax, all thirty-two of those robots actually activated their weapons simultaneously and fired a burst of bullets at the top of the exhibition hall.
The roof of the exhibition hall was built with transparent glass; how could it withstand being swept by thirty-two machine guns? It instantly turned into countless glass shards that smashed downwards.
Seeing this, the rich businessmen, socialites, and Military and political bigwigs below were instantly scared and screamed loudly, scrambling to escape outside the exhibition hall.
"Pepper, it's dangerous here, go find Happy and leave first."
Tony, realizing something was wrong, grabbed the portable Iron Man Suit, quickly put it on while instructing Pepper.
Pepper knew she couldn't be of much help here, so she quickly nodded and followed everyone fleeing outside.
At this moment, seeing Tony had put on the Iron Man Suit, those robots all aimed their weapons at him.
"Justin Hammer, I know you want to kill me, but you don't have to be this stupid, do you!"
Tony's voice, full of mockery, came out from the Iron Man Suit.
And Hammer replied, looking at the robots with a panicked expression:
"No, no, I didn't do this, how could I do such a thing... It's him, it must be Vanko, these robots were all built by him, only he can take control!"
Killing Tony in front of so many people, unless he was crazy.
As long as the robot soldiers' demonstration was successful today, their Hammer Industries could rise because of it, secure a large number of orders, and surpass Stark Industries in one fell swoop.
He had no need to do something that would dig his own grave.
"Looks like I have to escape first!"
After getting useful information from Hammer, Tony immediately activated his suit and quickly rose, dodging the simultaneous volley from the thirty-two robots, and rapidly fled into the air.
Since it was Ivan Vanko operating them, his target must be to seek revenge for his father.
As long as he left here, the people here would be safer.
Of course, the main reason was that this suit of his was portable.
In order to be able to put it on quickly and be easy to carry, the armor's defensive capability was much lower than a normal suit.
Moreover, apart from the repulsor rays in his palms and chest, it was not equipped with any weapons at all.
He definitely couldn't fight head-on and could only escape first and then think of other ways.
"Mei, my friend will get you home safely, don't worry."
Everything that happened inside the exhibition hall was seen by the citizens outside through the large screen.
At this time, everyone no longer wanted to wait for the fireworks display and fled away from here in a panic.
Li Chuan, who had anticipated this, also called Xiao San, who was already waiting in a car by the roadside, and asked him to take Mei and Peter away first.
"Wanda, our practical combat target today will be much stronger than before, be careful not to get hurt."
Seeing Mei and Peter leave, Li Chuan took out his wand and cast magic on his clothes, immediately transforming into the Dark Warlock.
"I'm very strong!"
Wanda spun around confidently on the spot and also changed into the Scarlet Witch look with a red leather suit and a small cloak.
