Why 42?

Trevor Slater, at the moment, was looking at the two men in front of him with a flattering look, because once he made them unhappy, Slater's life might be in the hands of these two men at any time. superior.

And the two men who control Slater's fate are none other than Tony and Rhodes who have just completed the rendezvous.

"Okay, big star. Now, tell me - where did Killian take Pepper? What conspiracy is he planning?"

Facing the Mark 42's palm cannon and the firearm in Colonel Rhodes' hand, Slater naturally did not dare to refuse to answer Tony's question.

"Well, I don't know who Pepper is, but I know what his plan is. What port was Killian in tonight... Well, I forgot about this -.

"Anyway, there is a big ship there. He mentioned that he would conduct a live broadcast again, and this matter seems to be related to the vice president. As for the other things, I don't know, and he won't tell me. I am on the sidelines. Overheard.

After listening to Slater's unclear explanation, although the two of them still had no way of knowing what Killian's real plan was, they still got some key information from it, such as "Vice President."

"I think we should contact the Vice President now, what do you think, Rod?"

"I agree, Tony."

It was not unusual for Tony and Rhodes to obtain the Vice President's personal phone number.

However, neither of them realized that sometimes defective and incomplete information can be more misleading than when there is no clue.

Although Killian mentioned the vice president, this does not mean that the vice president will be his next target.

In fact, on the contrary, Killian should be the person who most hopes that the vice president's safety will be guaranteed. Because he had reached a private deal with the vice president, the two were already partners.

Killian will use Extremis to help the vice president's daughter with leg disabilities recover; and what the vice president has to do is wait for Killian to get rid of the president and become Killian's puppet in the government.

In this way, the phone call between Tony and Rhodes not only had no effect, but also reminded the enemy that they had begun to investigate all this.

Although the original purpose of the call was not achieved, Tony and Rhodes still received important news from the Vice President, that is, War Machine, as the President's personal bodyguard, boarded "Air Force 1" with the President. "Presidential plane.

In this way, the answer to why Killian wanted to take away the War Machine is readily apparent.

Killian wanted to follow the "Trojan Horse" story, send his men to the president, and then get rid of the president.

"Tony...although I don't really want to say this, but now we have to choose one between Mr. President and Miss Pepper to give priority to rescue."

Tony nodded and said seriously to Rhodes: "Don't worry, Rhodes. I know how to choose. By the way, do you know why my battle suit is numbered 42?

Colonel Rhodes shook his head, wondering what Tony's intention was in asking him this question.

"The reason why this battle suit is named after Mark 42 is not because this is the 42nd steel battle suit I have developed, but because this is the 42nd battle suit project that I have designed and approved."

"It's just that the difficulty of manufacturing this battle suit far exceeded my expectations when I designed it, so it has not made its debut until now, although there are still many functional flaws..."

While talking, Tony suddenly said to J.A.R.V.I.S: "J.A.R.V.I.S, how are the big babies I left in the villa doing now?"

0…Please give me flowers…

[Sir, I have arranged for people from the disaster control company to clean up, and all the battle suits in the basement have not been damaged. ]

"Very good. If that's the case, then let these big babies who have been eating dust in the Warehouse be let out for a good walk tonight!"

After saying that, Tony looked at Rhodes again and said: "Only children need to make choices, adults definitely want them all. I will save both Pepper and the President together!"

As for Tony's choice, as a good brother, Rhodes definitely fully supports: "Go with all your strength, Tony. I just hope everything can be done in time..."

0...

Tony patted Rhodes on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, we won't follow the enemy forever. J.A.R.V.I.S., I asked you to hack into military satellites to investigate where Killian's helicopter went when they left. Is there any news now?"

[Their location has been found, sir. They landed at the dock of the Raux Oil Company, and according to satellite images, Miss Pepper was also taken there. ]

Tony nodded and said excitedly: "Very good! Now, it's our turn to give each other a little technological shock. J.A.R.V.I.S., it's party time."

[Big family gathering, sir?]

"That's right!"

At the same time as Tony gave the order, most of the ruins had been cleared by the disaster control company on the Stark Manor. The armor that Tony had designed and manufactured over the years and stored in the underground Warehouse, at the moment, was just like his mother. Pigs wearing bras usually fly into the sky one after another.
