Three days later, a large number of reporters and onlookers gathered in the square outside Washington Pentagon.
They all got the news and knew that Congress was going to hold a medal ceremony for Tony and Superman.
Because Congress concealed the information, they thought that both Tony and Superman would be present, so there were naturally a lot of people coming to watch the award ceremony.
However, when the awarding ceremony began, everyone only saw Tony who came to the scene, and there was no sign of Superman.
"What's going on! Didn't you say that Superman will also appear?"
"I came here specifically to see Superman, but I didn't expect that he didn't show up!"
There was an uproar at the scene, and many people couldn't help but start talking.
Some people even looked up to the sky, trying to find traces of Superman.
The result, of course, was nothing.
At this time, Congress Councilor Stern came to the rostrum and praised Tony and Superman for their previous behavior at the venue.
"Although it is a pity that Mr. Superman was not present, Congress still decided to award him the Heroic Medal. This medal will be accepted by Mr. Stark on his behalf and can be transferred to Mr. Superman in the future."
Stern finally said loudly.
This is the plan of Congress's senior management. Even if Superman chooses to refuse, they will still insist on awarding the medal to Superman.
Judging from the previous battles between Superman and those robots, Superman's strength is too strong, completely beyond the range that conventional weapons can deal with.
Under this situation, Congress could only try his best to find a way to make friends with Superman and establish a relationship with him.
After Stern finished speaking, the awarding ceremony officially began.
A soldier held a tray, followed Stern, and walked in front of Tony.
Amidst the exciting music, Stern first awarded a medal to Tony.
At previous hearings, the two had some conflicts.
But now in public, they can only wear professional fake smiles and shake hands with each other.
Finally, Stern put the medal issued to Superman on Tony's chest and asked him to receive it on his behalf.
"Crack! Click!"
Reporters around them took pictures of the scene and recorded the scene.
Just when Tony completed the medal ceremony and was about to leave directly, he suddenly received a call from Coulson.
"Tony, where are you now?"
Coulson asked in a serious tone.
"I'm at Washington, what happened?
Tony asked immediately.
"U.S. Military was invaded by suspected alien forces at a base of Qatar. After receiving the request for help, Military contacted us S.H.I.E.L.D. to request assistance. The director asked you to go over and check the situation!"
Coulson told Tony.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look now!"
Hearing that it might be related to aliens, Tony's expression became serious.
He ignored the reporters surrounding him and headed to the parking lot under the escort of Happy.
Happy opened the trunk and took out the alloy suitcase inside.
"Kakakaka!"
The suitcase quickly deformed and turned into a golden-red Mecha, which was worn on Tony's body.
"Whoosh!"
Amidst the exclamations of passers-by around him, Tony rose into the air and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
New Mexico state, Qatar military base.
At this time, a humanoid machine with a height of more than ten meters and a head that resembled a giant flying insect was frantically attacking the American soldiers surrounding it from all directions.
Its arms were loaded with two heavy machine guns, with black muzzles exposed on its palms, and it fired continuously at the surroundings.
"Ah!"
Soldiers were shot one by one and fell to the ground screaming.
"Da da da----"
A large number of machine gunners in the base also fired back at the raging humanoid machines.
But when these bullets were fired on the humanoid machine, they only produced sparks and did not cause much damage to the humanoid machine.
"Whoosh whoosh----"
The humanoid machine aimed its forearms at the enemy, and fired out beams of Plasma Pulse light cannons, destroying various facilities in the military base.
"Boom boom boom!"
Ammunition depots, gasoline depots and other facilities exploded one after another, and the soaring flames turned the dark sky completely red.
"Get out! Get out!"
The commander of the base, James, finally realized that such a monster was beyond their ability to deal with, and could only quickly issue an order to retreat.
The surrounding soldiers fled outside the base.
This huge humanoid machine walked with heavy steps, constantly chasing down the escaping soldiers.
When I first approached the general headquarters, the humanoid machine gave up chasing the fleeing ten soldiers.
"Boom!"
It reached out and scratched through the dome of the command center, and reached down to grab the command server.
Inserting his fingertips into the server interface, a large amount of confidential information in the server was immediately downloaded to the storage device located at the humanoid mechanical brain.
"Quick, cut off the main power supply!"
James shouted immediately.
But the entire command headquarters fell into chaos, and no one could hear his orders.
James In desperation, he could only grab the fire ax next to him, rush forward and completely smash the servers in the base.
As the server was destroyed, the humanoid machine's downloading of data came to an abrupt halt.
It let out an angry roar, stretched out its terrifying mechanical claws, and stabbed towards James.
James quickly dodged and avoided the opponent's attack.
Just when he was about to be forced to Extremis, a dazzling "shooting star" suddenly appeared in the night sky and was rapidly approaching the Qatar military base.
Naturally, I wore Tony wearing Mecha.
Still dozens of kilometers away, Tony saw the light of fire rising into the sky in the direction of Qatar. He immediately changed direction and flew quickly in that direction.
"Didi!"
The humanoid machine that was chasing the commander suddenly raised its head and looked at the location of Tony.
As if it felt the threat Tony brought to it, the humanoid Mecha immediately laid its upper body on the ground, and then transformed into an armed helicopter in front of the shocked eyes of everyone in the headquarters.
"Tu tu tu tu!"
The helicopter quickly took off and left the base soon.
And shortly after it left, Tony finally arrived.
He landed from the sky and appeared in the eyes of those who were still alive at the base.
"Iron Man! It's Iron Man here!"
"Great, we are saved!"
Seeing Tony appear, these surviving soldiers cheered excitedly.
"Iron Man, thank you! If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would have died in the hands of that monster."
James also came out and thanked Tony repeatedly.
Just now he was still wondering why the monster left suddenly, but now he understood it after seeing Tony.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Tony glanced at the corpses of the surrounding soldiers and the flames burning everywhere, then looked at James and asked.
