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

Because this is a bad boat. It is already a very difficult task for it to sail in the sea without restraint. In order to prevent this broken boat from sinking on this stormy journey, Tony, as the captain, could only fill every vacant on the ship as much as possible 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 has taken his achievements into consideration. Being able to hold the United States to this day with the increasingly decadent national conditions, even the most outstanding American presidents may not be able to do better than Tony in this case.

But Tony was not satisfied with his current results, because it was different from what he expected.

Originally, he had a complete plan for his career. According to the rule that the US president was not allowed to be re-elected for two terms, he made a detailed plan for his eight-year presidential career. The first four years were used to restore national strength. With the strong foundation of the United States, it was actually not difficult to do this seriously. The next four years were to arrange a way out for the United States. Just like Clinton's main force in building network information channels and creating a new era of information. He also found a bright future for the United States to develop safely.

That is the path of space development. As long as they can complete the journey of space exploration first, they will not have to live in this small planet, and compete for such a little bit of thin resources. There are inexhaustible resources in the endless universe waiting for human development, and what he has to do is to get the qualification to develop the universe first than everyone else.

At this point, he had already made arrangements. The legacy left by the Kerry Stars was enough to give him enough advantage at the starting line. He also spared no effort to invest huge resources in this project just to expand this advantage to the limit.

But I didn't expect that man's calculations were worse than God's calculations. All his plans ended up falling into space. And naturally it was impossible for him to feel willing.

No matter who invests huge resources, he will not be willing to get such a reward. What's more, this is related to his future plan, so he will take all of this back no matter what. But how should he get it back? Whether it is Tony or the arrogant soldiers and generals under him, they have no clue at all.

The data from the undersea research base was completely stolen, and the Kerry Star warship was completely gone. As for the three responsible persons in charge of this project, only two corpses and a crazy guy were found. Such clues could not allow them to find the stolen important information.

But Tony was unwilling to give up. He put all his hopes on Dr. Laura, who had serious psychological problems. This should have been a waste of effort, but with Tony's insistence, it was this thing that had no great hope, which made all of this turnaround.

With the help of the special medical institution of the Skyhammer Bureau, Dr. Laura has recovered a controllable range and can have conversations like a normal person. Upon hearing this news, Tony immediately put down his work and came to the hospital without even taking the bodyguard.

Seeing the US president who was rushing over, the staff in the hospital were very surprised. The dean who heard the news ran over and asked Tony in anger.

"Your Excellency President, I'm so sorry. I don't know you're coming here. Is there anything you're going to do here?"

"Preparing for me, I'm going to have a conversation with Dr. Laura."

The hospital director naturally had no way to refuse Tony's request, so he immediately started to work hard. With his strong cooperation, Tony soon met Dr. Laura, who was gloomy in a ward.

It can be seen that everything that happened before had a very profound impact on this fragile woman. She was still a little unstable now, and even Tony walked in and didn't notice it.

"Her condition is not very good. If possible, please control the time of the questioning, and try not to stimulate her nerves."

The doctor in charge of Dr. Laura's mental illness reminded him and left the ward at the dean's request. Tony stared at the fragile woman in front of him for a while, then moved a chair and placed it in front of her, and then sat down.

The distance between the two was brought to a very close point. Looking at the woman with a pale face like a lilac flower, Tony opened his mouth first.

"Dr. Laura? Dr. Laura!"

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

This is a good thing, which means that she recognizes Tony's identity. Since she can recognize him, it means that she can be a partner for communication. This made Tony feel 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, the current President of the United States."

Dr. Laura's answer was a bit weak, but there was no major problem in terms of organization. This provided the possibility of continuing the conversation between them. After hearing her answer, Tony immediately asked.

"Very good. Dr. Laura, I'll tell you a long story. Can you tell me what happened in the underwater base at that time? Why was the research base broken? Who stole our research data? And, how did you survive?"

Tony, who was anxious, asked all the questions he wanted to know. Faced with these questions, extraordinary changes began to appear on Dr. Laura's face.

First, her pale face turned pale, then her brows frowned, and even her pupils began to shrink desperately. This change made her look terrified, making Tony afraid that she would lose her mind due to this horror in the next moment.

But the situation has finally not changed to such a bad point. Perhaps because Tony is right next to her, she feels like she can have a safe support, so after just taking a few deep breaths, she controls her emotions. Then, she begins to tell what happened that day.

"Hydra, it's Hydra's people. I remember it was Captain America who led the people to attack us. They killed all the security guards and researchers. Only Professor Stevenson and I, and that traitor Jones!"

"Jones? Are you talking about Dr. Jones. He is Hydra? Where is he now?" Hearing a sensitive word, Tony couldn't help but grab Dr. Laura's shoulder and roared at her. Tony's tolerance for this traitor lurking beside him was almost zero. So his tone became very bad in an instant, making Dr. Laura, who was originally a delicate flower, look as if she was about to wither.

Fortunately, he soon realized what was wrong with him. After seeing Dr. Laura's face turned pale a little, he quickly let go of his hand and apologized to her.

"Sorry, Doctor. I was just a little unexpected. I thought I had already reviewed the spy strictly enough, but I didn't expect that these damn bastards would take advantage of the loopholes. This is my fault, I brought danger to you."

"No, you. This has nothing to do with you. I'm afraid no one can think that the guy with a human face and a beast heart would be a spy lurking in by Hydra. And I think he should have received his due retribution!"

When he said this, Dr. Laura's face rarely appeared on her face that was not consistent with her temperament. This made Tony realize something was wrong immediately. He looked at the woman in front of him, looked straight into her eyes, and then asked her word by word.

"Dr. Laura, what do you know? What exactly happened in the undersea research base? Are there anything else we don't know?"

As if she thought of something terrible, Dr. Laura's expression became more and more frightened. This made her unable to help but stretch out her hands and grabbed Tony's arm with force.

Under her subconscious movements, her sharp nails had already made Tony feel a burst of stinging pain. But Tony had no intention of stopping her. Instead, he stretched out his hand, stroked Dr. Laura's hair, and comforted her.

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

Perhaps his comfort had an effect, perhaps his existence did give Dr. Laura an extraordinary sense of security. Under his movements, Dr. Laura gradually recovered control and stopped the damage he had done to Tony in his hands.

She smiled apologetically at Tony, and the expression on her face gradually returned to the soft appearance of lilac. Then, in Tony's encouraging eyes, she finally plucked up her courage to tell an unknown truth.

"Smart Machinery! It was the Smart Machinery that saved me, and the Smart Machinery also attacked the Hydra there. They will not let anyone escape from there, anyone!" (To be continued...)
