Osborne Megacorp
Chapter 67: The hearing did not conform to the procedures
Since World War II, Hydra has been lurking in the shadows, stirring up chaos, especially wars, around the world for their greater goals.
With the equipment provided by Osborne, the military is even more powerful.
Imagine if the US military in Vietnam had power armor...
This obviously goes against Hydra's purpose of causing chaos.
The balance of the war has tilted, and they obviously don't want the war to stop.
"Hello, Colonel Rhodes."
"Hello, Mr. Osborn."
Harry shook hands with the Minister of Arms Development, who was not wearing a war machine today.
Due to Rhodes' status, Osborne and Rhodes often interacted with each other.
It's just that the relationship between Rod and Harry is not like that with Tony. The relationship between the two is more business-like.
Harry quickly saw the exoskeletons and power armor captured by the US military.
The US military has strict control over power armor, and every mission is recorded, but this batch is obviously not in the US military's records.
The control of powered exoskeletons is looser than that of powered armors, but whether it is powered exoskeletons or powered armors, the US military guarantees that they will not be stolen at fault.
"We compared the exoskeletons used by the enemy with the powered exoskeletons of the Osborne Group and found that the technology is indeed very similar."
Rhodes took out a piece of information.
As a developer, Harry could see that the design ideas of these equipment were very similar and they were imitations.
"Even their energy source is the same technology as the Osborne Group, strontium-90, thermoelectric battery." Rhodes handed over a box.
Harry already knew what was inside and there was no need to open it.
Although the technology is very similar, it is still a little more advanced than Osborne. The battery efficiency is not high, and the quality of the peripheral protective wall is very poor. Those who use imitation products are prone to radiation sickness.
"But it really has nothing to do with Osborn." Harry spread his hands, "But there was indeed a theft before this."
The so-called theft refers to Kingpin stealing it once and then giving 50 sets of the original version of the power armor to the Hand and the Society, but they were all blamed on Kingpin.
"Stolen? Why wasn't it reported to the Military Commission?" Rhodes frowned. This thing is a controlled product.
"I did. To be precise, I reported it to the local National Security Bureau. Do you remember that time when the New York Police Department raided the Hell's Kitchen gang? Maybe you should ask the National Security Bureau agents?"
There are indeed a lot of strange things about this matter.
For example, on the night of the accident, the New York Police Department suddenly became silent. However, after Norman came to power, he checked the New York Police Department and found that there were indeed no illegal operations, or it was impossible to continue the investigation.
If you think about it carefully, there is a high possibility that Hydra is involved in this matter.
As for the Hand and the Society... Looking back, those powered armors were, as expected, traded to Hydra. Otherwise, 50 powered armors wouldn't change anything. After all, the Rand Group has nothing to do with the military industry. If they want to copy They don't have the ability to use power armor technology.
Thinking back on these things, Harry suddenly felt that Hydra was indeed an insidious opponent - if he were a local aborigine, he might still be in the dark about it now.
However, when ctOS is fully rolled out in New York, Hydra’s activities in New York will be significantly restricted.
After hearing Harry's words, Rhodes immediately called Congress.
"Hello, Colonel Rhodes...are you talking about Osborne's stolen powered exoskeleton and powered armor? The National Security Agency is tracing it, but because the mastermind behind it is dead, there is no progress on many things for the time being."
Harry spread his hands.
"Look, Colonel Rhodes, it's really not my fault. I'm just a good businessman."
The information at hand made Rhodes very uneasy, and he was keenly aware that the things behind this might not be that simple.
Harry patted his shoulder: "But you don't have to worry too much. Osborne's new power armor will be on the market soon. This time it uses plutonium-235, and the armor has also been upgraded."
After hearing this, Rhodes turned sideways and looked over: "How much is it?"
Harry spread his hands and said, "Anyway, you can definitely afford it. The battery is the same as before, so don't worry."
After talking about this, a group of soldiers appeared, menacingly, as if they were here to arrest people.
"Uh, Colonel, is there anything else the military wants me to do? Today is the day when ctOS goes online in Manhattan, and I want to go back and participate in the silhouette ceremony."
Rhodes shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Mr. Osborne, you are requested to appear immediately before the Senate Armed Services Committee."
"now?"
The soldier nodded expressionlessly.
Harry also wanted to ask for some detailed information, but the other party was obviously not well-intentioned. None of the participants could comment on the content of the meeting.
"I'll escort Mr. Osborne." Rhodes also felt that something was wrong and suggested.
"I'm sorry, Colonel, but the committee assigned us the escort."
It seemed that he had no choice but to go. Harry touched his chin. He didn't know what tricks Hydra wanted to play.
Do you want to accuse yourself of treason?
Under the escort of the soldiers, Harry got into the truck heading to the White House.
The atmosphere in the car was so dull that one even thought they were trying to kidnap Harry.
He couldn't understand. The hearing didn't work for Tony, so how could they think it would work for them?
Soon, Harry arrived at the door of the White House. The place was not as lively as the last time Harry came, and he didn't know how many people were invited by Hydra.
Harry sat where Tony had sat, and the person in charge of presiding over the hearing was still the same Senator Stern.
"We meet again, Mr. Osborne."
Harry ignored him and controlled Leinen to enter the surrounding broadcast equipment from the ground.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Osborne, that this hearing was held suddenly and did not give you much time to prepare."
Although he said he was sorry, the fat-headed and big-eared Senator Stern was obviously very proud, and his smile was like a wrinkled chrysanthemum.
"You should indeed be sorry. I must remind you that your job is to serve taxpayers, especially good law-abiding citizens like me, not to waste their time and pull them over for any hearing."
Harry turned on his cell phone, but there was no signal. It seemed like they had done something.
"My job is to keep American citizens safe at all times, but the Osborne Group appears to have made some very serious mistakes."
Harry ignored his words, and soon Lenin found the source of the interference, which was a small signal jammer hidden on the roof.
Lenin disabled the device with ease, and Harry now knew what they were doing.
The signal jammer caused a delay in the live broadcast. The reporters on the scene were all their own, and during the delay, the team behind the scenes played a trick of cutting one line from three rounds.
For example, in the first sentence, Harry's words were shortened to "I don't have time for any hearings."
Stern's line "I didn't give you much time to prepare" was also cut.
As soon as the mobile phone had signal, Harry called Norman.
Seeing Harry take out the phone, the expression on Stern's face became wonderful - how come these Osborn Starks each have tricks they don't know about?
"Sir, as much as I would like to continue, the holding of this hearing does not seem to be in accordance with the process, and I believe that other members will soon notice this issue."
"Until then, please allow me to remain silent for the time being."
Harry leaned back and crossed his legs.
As for the so-called process...in fact, everyone is not following the process.
With the equipment provided by Osborne, the military is even more powerful.
Imagine if the US military in Vietnam had power armor...
This obviously goes against Hydra's purpose of causing chaos.
