**Chapter 182: Boss Tang, Loyal and Patriotic**

**Chapter 182: Boss Tang, Loyal and Patriotic**

A team of Secret Service Agents arrived at the Blair Hotel scene almost simultaneously with General Ross. Leading them was a bald middle-aged man in a black suit and a purple tie.

The weather in Washington wasn't too hot today, but fine sweatdrops covered the middle-aged man's bald head.

"Director Sully!" Ross greeted the bald man. From his tone, it was clear they weren't particularly close.

Mark Sully, Director of the Secret Service.

Established in 1865, the Secret Service was initially founded within the Department of the Treasury, primarily responsible for combating counterfeit currency.

Its main duty was to combat the production of counterfeit currency domestically and prevent the forgery of important documents.

Later, the Secret Service gradually became responsible for protecting the President and their family, other high-ranking officials, and visiting foreign leaders!

Because it concerned their personal safety, every President, upon taking office, would replace the Director of the Secret Service with a trusted confidant.

Mark Sully was an old classmate of Federal President Garrett Walker. He had served in the Federal Rangers, and when Garrett Walker was Governor of Colorado, Mark Sully served as his security minister.

After Garrett Walker became the 45th Federal President, Mark Sully's status rose even higher, and he became the Director of the Secret Service.

It could be said that Mark Sully's position was built on the Federal President's trust. If something happened to Garrett Walker, he would be the first to suffer.

After all, the Secret Service itself is responsible for the Federal President's safety, equivalent to the personal Imperial Bodyguard in ancient The East.

If the President was assassinated, he, as the Director of the Secret Service, would be the first to be investigated.

No wonder his forehead was covered in sweatdrops.

After all, which official holding a key position in the Federation could withstand an investigation?

Even the Federal President, to avoid being held accountable afterward, has Lifetime Immunity after serving two terms.

Of course, it's worth mentioning the unlucky South Korean President here.

It's practically the highest-risk profession in South Korea, with a 90% chance of something going wrong.

Seeing the National Guard soldiers blocking the entrance and refusing entry,

Mark Sully was clearly more anxious than Ross. He signaled to the Secret Service Agents behind him, and several black-suited Agents stepped forward, ready to force their way in.

"Please don't make things difficult for us!"

The Colonel's face was equally stern, and his attitude was very firm. He ordered a dozen soldiers to form a human wall at the hotel entrance!

"Move aside!" If it weren't for those Mysterious Silver Liquids that could Devour Metal, Mark Sully was so angry he wanted to draw his Handgun directly—

The entire team of Secret Service Agents behind him stepped forward, shoving and pushing with the National Guard soldiers!

"Officer, they seem a bit off!" The Young Adjutant who had been standing beside Ross had been carefully observing the National Guard soldiers. Seeing the toughness they displayed, he leaned into Ross's ear and whispered.

Ross also saw it now. Not only were these National Guard soldiers tough, but their stance and the Military Prowess they showed were too professional—so professional they didn't seem like the National Guard.

The National Guard is part of the Federal Army, accounting for about half of its available combat strength or about one-third of its support system.

It currently comprises ten combat Divisions, twenty-two independent Brigades/Regiments, two Special Forces Groups, and one reconnaissance group. The Army National Guard alone has 440,000 personnel.

Its role is roughly equivalent to the reserve forces in The East.

The difference is that after multiple reductions in the Federal Army, some Army Divisions were transferred to the Army National Guard as complete units.

Therefore, some National Guard Divisions are actually small regular units rather than militias. For example, the 24th Division, which performed poorly in the Korean War, was demoted to the National Guard.

Although the National Guard's organizational System, Weapon Equipment, logistics supply, personnel system, and regulations are the same as active-duty forces.

National Guard members also participate in barracks training for forty-eight weekends each year and have one fifteen-day active-duty training session annually, which is joint training with corresponding active-duty units, so that they can quickly supplement active-duty units during wartime.

However, despite this, in terms of Military Prowess and combat Ability, the National Guard is clearly slightly inferior to the Federal regular Army, even the National Guard directly subordinate to the President's Command.

But the group of people General Ross saw before him appeared even more professional than the Air Force Special Forces he led.

"C Company, take them down!"

Ross watched the National Guard soldiers and Secret Service Agents shoving each other. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of armed soldiers behind him swarmed forward!

In groups of four or five, they took Action against the National Guard personnel and Secret Service Agents.

Mark Sully watched Ross order his men to Take Action. The iron-blue Expression on his face had just begun to ease, but unexpectedly, when he came back to his senses, he found that when those soldiers started beating people, they even surrounded his own Secret Service Agents.

"General Ross, this!?" Mark Sully pointed at his subordinates being beaten in the chaotic crowd, opening his mouth to look at General Ross.

"Director Sully, Time is tight. My soldiers don't have Time to distinguish who is your man. Let's leave it at this for now. Rescuing the President is the priority!"

General Ross waved his hand, interrupting Mark Sully's words—

Mark Sully wanted to say something more, but a figure in gold and red swooped down from High Altitude, brushing past his scalp and flying into the hotel Gate! In the Blair Hotel Hall, more than twenty Big men in National Guard Military Uniforms were surrounding T'Chaka, Natasha Romanoff, and the poor Federal President!

The Old Black Panther, who had just been formidable and incredibly brave while being besieged by a group of Hydra Agents, was now being supported by two Female Guards, his limbs weak, shrinking behind Natasha Romanoff and several Secret Service Agents.

At this moment, T'Chaka's right arm was not only dangling, but his right Foot was also lifted slightly, not daring to touch the Ground. It seemed that after dislocating his arm, his Foot also had problems.

Natasha Romanoff protected the Federal President behind her, looking at the two Strong men approaching her. She tossed her long hair, bit a strand of red hair in her mouth, and assumed a Krav Maga defensive posture.

"Very strong," this was Natasha Romanoff's experience fighting these two Strong men. In terms of Strength, she was no match for them, but these Winter Soldiers were slightly inferior to her in combat skills.

One-on-one, Natasha Romanoff was confident she could defeat and kill them, but two-on-one, and without a handy Weapon, all Natasha Romanoff could do was strategically retreat.

But behind her were her protection targets, including the Federal President. Clearly, she couldn't abandon them.

"Isn't this my personal assistant? Long Time no see, did you miss me?"

Natasha Romanoff clenched her Fists, fully focused, when explosive music suddenly echoed in the Hall, followed by a flippant Voice.

Natasha Romanoff's Expression relaxed when she heard the familiar teasing Voice. She unclenched her Fists and completely relaxed.

A figure in gold and red hovered in the Sky, White Light glowing in its Palm, aimed at the Terrorists surrounding the President.

"Now, everyone, hands up, way up! Otherwise, I won't be polite!" Click, click, as if to emphasize the warning, the various missile pods on Tony Stark's Iron Suit / Armor simultaneously opened—

While speaking, Tony Stark looked around, searching for Pepper Potts' figure. Soon, he saw the familiar figure standing behind Tang Song.

Seeing that Pepper Potts was safe, he finally put his heart at ease.

He had just been chasing the Terrorist piloting that Fighter Jet. The Fighter Jet was very fast and had good performance, only slightly inferior to his Iron Suit / Armor.

If he hadn't been worried about Pepper Potts' safety, he definitely could have caught up to that Fighter Jet (Tony's serious face)! Facing Iron Man hovering in the Sky, the group of Hydra Agents stopped their Actions. Several Strong men who were clearly Leaders exchanged glances and raised their hands.

Under their lead, the group of Hydra Agents disguised as National Guard soldiers also raised their hands.

Tony Stark nodded in satisfaction at their reaction, then controlled his Iron Suit / Armor to slowly descend to the Ground.

"Don't touch the Ground!"

"Tony, fly up quickly!"

Just as Tony Stark was controlling his Iron Suit / Armor to almost touch the Ground, two urgent warning Voices suddenly sounded.

The former was Black Widow Natasha, and the latter was Pepper Potts.

At this moment, Iron Man's Height from the carpet was no more than thirty centimeters. Just as their warnings sounded, two Winter Soldiers lunged towards Tony Stark.

One from the left, one from the right, trying to grab his arms and drag him to the Ground.

"Bang! Bang!"

Tony Stark raised his hands, and the Energy Pulse Cannons in his Palms simultaneously lit up with two White Lights, blasting the two Winter Soldiers away.

At the same Time, the Metal boots of the Iron Suit / Armor touched the Ground.

"It's over!"

This was Natasha Romanoff's first reaction upon seeing Tony Stark land. She knew how terrifying the Mysterious Silver Liquid deployed by these Terrorists was; it could Devour any Metallic Substance.

Natasha Romanoff wasn't sure if Tony Stark's proud Iron Suit / Armor could withstand this Mysterious Liquid.

Seeing that a group of Terrorists were all ready to Take Action, Natasha Romanoff was about to step forward to rescue Tony Stark.

"Bang bang—"

Gunfire suddenly rang out in the crowd. A Bandit who was about to pounce on Tony Stark from behind was shot dead on the spot.

Tang Song squeezed out from the crowd, holding a 3D Printed, plastic Handgun in each hand, pointing the Guns at the circle of Terrorists and threatening:

"Nobody move! My Bullets don't have eyes!"

"Tang!?" Tony Stark looked at the "stepping forward" Tang Song with some surprise.

Tang Song shook the Handgun he had picked up from a fallen "Hydra Thug" in his hand: "You don't need to thank me. Ms. Potts asked me to help you. Get out of your Suit quickly—"

"These Terrorists deployed a silver Liquid in the hotel that can Devour Metal!" Boss Tang's concern, revealed through his sarcasm, warmed Tony Stark's heart.

He clearly didn't know how many times Boss Tang had discussed the self-cultivation of actors with numerous Hollywood actresses on the Large Bed in his Sea View Villa. His Acting Skills were good enough to be a featured extra even in star-studded Hollywood.

Tony Stark first glanced at Pepper Potts, who was watching from a distance with concern, then nodded towards Tang Song: "You mean those Nanobots? These Terrorists have a good idea.

However, these Nanobots are also controlled by programs. I've already cut off their remote control system and paralyzed the replication instructions of these Nanobots!"

"So, those silver Liquids, oh, those Nanobots are now harmless!" Tang Song suddenly understood upon hearing this. He pointed his Gun at the group of Hydra Agents who were holding up their hands with very unpleasant Expressions.

"How should we Deal with them, Mr. President!"

The last sentence was directed at the Federal President, who was being protected by Natasha Romanoff behind her.

"Tang!" The Federal President was clearly deeply impressed by Tang Song's talkativeness, but the impression wasn't bad. If it weren't for him, he would have already left with this group of Terrorists disguised as the National Guard.

Thinking about it, our Mr. President felt a lingering fear! "Escort them out first. Find me a Mobile Phone and notify the Federation to enter Level Three Alert—" Mr. President's face was serious and solemn.

Hearing the Federal President's words,

Seeing that the Mission was hopeless, the Brainwashed Winter Soldiers launched a Death Charge. These Winter Soldiers, whose primary objective was the Mission, completely disregarded the threat of the Firearms in Tang Song's hands and lunged towards T'Chaka behind Natasha Romanoff.

"Bang! Bang!"

However, to reach T'Chaka, they first had to get past Tony Stark. Tony Stark fired his Energy Pulse Cannons in his Palms, Spray Firing at the Winter Soldiers lunging towards him.

"Protect the President, bang bang bang—"

Seeing that these Terrorists were fighting desperately, Tang Song yelled in "terror": "Be careful, protect the President, protect the President!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!" Tang Song fired all the Bullets in his Handgun in one go. Tang Song's Marksmanship didn't seem very good; out of more than ten Bullets, only seven or eight hit the Bandits.

Seeing that he was out of Bullets, Tang Song threw away the Handgun in his hand. He shouted hoarsely: "Protect Mr. President and retreat!"

Putting on a show of "loyal and patriotic" "great fearlessness," Tang Song single-handedly blocked four or five Bandits with his bare Fists, engaging in a chaotic fight with them.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Blair House, General Ross led the charge, bringing in dozens of soldiers in Air Force Camouflage Uniforms.

Beside him was the lone Director of the Secret Service, his face covered in sweat.

"Take them down, protect the President!"

General Ross rushed into the Hall, saw the situation before him, and immediately ordered with a wave of his hand.

Based on their experience at the entrance, these soldiers naturally knew who the enemy was.

Dozens of soldiers directly lunged at the group of Bandits wearing National Guard Military Uniforms.

These soldiers were Elites who had been with General Ross for many years, especially in the last two years, constantly sparring with the son-in-law by his side.

They had seen all sorts of major Scenes. For them, Winter Soldiers and Terrorists were nothing to be afraid of compared to a certain big green guy.

(Tomorrow, I'll resume normal updates. Taking care of a Child is too difficult. I went home, my wife desperately needed to catch up on sleep, so I watched the Child. The little thing is too naughty, I can't keep up at all, and I can't just leave him aside.)

(end of chapter )

(trasnlter :"One of the best things about reading a long novel is that you can keep up with the author's life. After a few hundred chapters, you realize that the little kid is now a teenager with dreams. There's even a novel I read that was so long I witnessed the author's marriage, family, deaths, even his son's first day of school and his graduation. I felt proud of the kid, even though I don't know him, have never seen him, and he doesn't know I exist — but I know so much about him, his life, his problems, his fights with his dad. Novels like that are special — maybe just for me, but I love them.")
