As the captain who controls the crumbling ship of the United States. Tony's day is not easy.

Because it's a rotten ship. Sailing in the sea with impunity is already a very difficult thing for it. And in order to keep this broken ship from sinking on this stormy journey, Tony, as the captain, can only do his best to fill every gap in this ship, so that it can always maintain such a sailing state.

As the captain, Tony can already be said to have done the best. No one can deny this, because everyone is looking at his results. Being able to hold the United States up to now in an increasingly decadent national situation, even the most outstanding of all American presidents, in this case, may not be able to do a better job than Tony.

But Tony is not satisfied with his current results. Because it wasn't what he expected.

Originally, he had a complete plan for his career. According to the rule that the president of the United States cannot serve two consecutive terms, he made a detailed plan for his eight-year presidential career. The first four years were used to restore the country's strength, and with the strong foundation of the United States, it is not difficult to do this as long as it is done seriously. The next four years were to lay out a way back for the United States. Just like when Clinton was the main force building network information channels, he ushered in a new era of information. He also found a bright future for the United States that could develop steadily.

That is the path of space development. As long as they can complete the journey of space exploration first, then they don't have to live on this small planet and fight for such a small resource. There are inexhaustible resources waiting to be developed by humans in the endless universe, and all he has to do is to get qualified to develop the universe one step ahead of all others.

At this point, he had already made arrangements. The Krees' legacy is enough to give him enough of an edge at the starting line. And he spared no effort to invest huge resources in this project, just to be able to expand this advantage to the most extreme extent.

It's just that I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven. All his plans ended up in vain. And this naturally could not make him feel willing.

Anyone who has invested huge resources and only gets such a return will not be reconciled. What's more, it's also about his future plans, so he's going to get it all back no matter what. It's just that how do you get it back? This point, whether it is Tony or the proud soldiers under him, there is no clue.

The materials of the undersea research base have been completely stolen, and the Kree warships have disappeared. As for the three principals in charge of the project, only two bodies were found, as well as a crazy guy. Such clues would not allow them to retrieve the important information that had been stolen.

But Tony is unwilling to give up, and he puts all his hopes on Dr. Laura, who has serious psychological problems. It was supposed to be a futile thing, but at Tony's insistence, it was this hopeless thing that turned all around.

Dr. Laura, with the help of the Celestial Hammer Bureau's special medical facility, has regained a manageable range and is now able to conduct conversations like a normal person. Hearing the news, Tony immediately put down his work, and came to the hospital directly in the Iron Man armor without even bringing a bodyguard.

Seeing the President of the United States rushing over, the staff in the hospital were very surprised. And the dean, who heard the news, ran over directly, and asked Tony angrily.

"Your Excellency, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were here. Is there anything you have to do here? ”

"Help me prepare, I'm going to have a conversation with Dr. Laura."

Naturally, the director of the hospital had no way to refuse Tony's request, so he immediately began to get busy. With his best cooperation, Tony soon meets Dr. Laura, who has a gloomy face, in a hospital room.

It can be seen that everything that happened before still has a very deep impact on this fragile woman. So much so that she is still a little dazed, and she didn't even notice that Tony walked in.

"She's not doing very well. If you can, keep the time of the questioning and try not to irritate her nerves. ”

The doctor in charge of Dr. Laura's mental illness gave a word of advice, and left the room at the request of the director. Tony, on the other hand, stared at the fragile woman in front of him for a while, and then moved a chair and put it in front of her, and then sat down.

The distance between the two people was drawn to a very close point. And looking at the pale lilac-like woman, Tony opened his mouth first.

"Dr. Laura? Dr. Laura! ”

The gradually louder voice brought the woman back to her senses, and when she saw Tony in front of her, she immediately showed a look of surprise.

It's a good thing, it means she recognizes Tony's identity. And since she can recognize him, it means that she can be an object of communication. This made Tony's heart a little more surprised, but on the surface he still asked her with a serious face.

"Dr. Laura, can you recognize who I am?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. I know you, Tony. Stark, Iron Man, is the current president of the United States. ”

Dr. Laura's answer was a little weak, but there was nothing wrong with the organization. This makes it possible for the dialogue between them to continue. After hearing her answer, Tony immediately asked.

"Good. Dr. Laura, I'll cut you short. Can you tell me what really happened at the undersea base at that time? Why was the research base breached? Who stole our research materials? Also, how the hell did you survive? ”

Tony, who was anxious, asked all the questions he wanted to know. Faced with these questions, Dr. Laura's face began to change unusually.

At first, his pale face turned pale, and then his brows furrowed, and even his pupils began to shrink desperately. This change made her whole person look terrified, and Tony was afraid that she would lose her mind the next moment because of this panic.

But the situation has not changed to this bad point. Maybe it was because Tony was by her side that she felt like she could have a safe place to lean on, so she was able to control her emotions with just a few deep breaths. Then she began to tell the story of what had happened that day.

"Hydra, it's the people of Hydra. As I remember, it was Captain America who attacked us with people. They killed all the security guards and researchers. It's just me and Professor Stevenson, and that traitor Jones! ”

"Jones? You mean Dr. Jones. Is he a Hydra man? Where is he now? Hearing a sensitive word, Tony immediately grabbed Dr. Laura by the shoulder and yelled at her. Tony's tolerance for this kind of traitor lurking around him is almost zero. As a result, his tone became very bad in an instant, making Dr. Laura, who was already a delicate flower, look like he was about to wither.

Fortunately, he quickly realized that he was wrong. After seeing Dr. Laura's face turn a little pale, he quickly let go of his hand and apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, doctor. I was just a little surprised. I thought I was scrutinizing enough when it came to spying, but I didn't expect to let these damn bastards get into the loophole. It is my fault that I have brought danger to you. ”

"No, Your Excellency. It has nothing to do with you. I'm afraid no one could have imagined that the human-faced beast-hearted guy would actually be a spy that Hydra had lurked in. And I think he should have reached the retribution he deserves! ”

At this point, Dr. Laura's face showed a rare bit of ruthlessness that did not match her temperament. And this is what made Tony immediately realize that something was wrong. He looked at the woman in front of him, looked her in the eye, and then asked her word by word.

"Dr. Laura, what do you know? What the hell is going on at the undersea research base, is there anything we don't know? ”

As if thinking of something terrible, Dr. Laura's expression became more and more frightened. And this made her can't help but stretch out her hands and grab Tony's arms hard.

Under her knee-jerk movements, her sharp nails already made Tony feel bursts of tingling. But Tony didn't have any intention of stopping her. Instead, he reached out and stroked Dr. Laura's hair, reassuring her.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With me here, you are absolutely safe. Don't be afraid, come, tell me everything you know! ”

Maybe it was his relief, maybe his presence did give Dr. Laura an extraordinary sense of security. With his actions, Dr. Laura gradually regained control and stopped the damage she was doing to Tony.

She smiled apologetically at Tony, and the look on her face gradually returned to the lilac-like and delicate appearance. Then, under Tony's encouraging gaze, she finally mustered up her courage and told an unknown truth.

"Wisdom! It was the Wisdom Machine that saved me, and the Wisdom Machine attacked the Hydra there. They won't let anyone get out of there, anyone! ”
