Hearing this, Zeke's eyes flashed.
This is so arrogant!
Moreover, country J is already at odds with the kingdom, they will not give them any honor.
"This sentence is Country J's response to Phoenix Kingdom's high-level officials. After hearing about this, the elders and ministers were very angry and wanted to negotiate with Country J on this matter, but Country J did not respond at all."
Grace continued, "In a few days, the Foreign Ministry of Country J will officially respond to this matter... I don't think there will be much change in their attitude, so after careful consideration, I plan to let you be the spokesperson for this response."
"The pressure you are facing now is not small."
Zeke finally understood.
No wonder why Grace had become so optimistic about him all of a sudden, and especially gave him an elder position. She wanted to use his current popularity and reputation to ease the emotional problems of the people.
But after thinking about it, it's just right. Besides him, who is the most popular among the people in the Phoenix Kingdom now?
Iron Man, Phoenix Kingdom's savior, Phoenix's richest man, technology giant... With all kinds of identities superimposed, Zeke is destined to be the best candidate.
"Your Majesty, your calculation is really good."
"Okay! Even Her Majesty said so, so of course I'll do my best
Zeke grinned, "But I stated in advance that I can attend the response on behalf of the kingdom, but how will her majesty respond about my freedom... I think Her Majesty the King can agree to this?"
"Since the task has been handed over to you, I will naturally maintain enough trust in you... But I hope you know that every word you say represents the Phoenix Kingdom and our government, please consider carefully before saying anything."
Grace said seriously.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have a sense of discretion in this matter."
Zeke smiled slightly, "By the way, Your Majesty, you came here in person, it wouldn't be just to give me this money and a noble medal, right? This kind of thing can be conveyed by just one person, why bother to come in person?"
"I..."
Hearing this, Grace hesitated.
"Elder Zeke, Her Majesty came here today to take a close look at your Iron Man armor."
Prime Minister Deron said with a smile, "Since the incident with the Royal Duke last time, Her Majesty has talked about it several times, but because of too many affairs, she hasn't had time to come."
Grace also added promptly: "It cost 2.5 billion US dollars anyway."
"Lucy, do you want to also take a look at my steel suit?"
Zeke turned his head and asked Lucy.
"Um."
Lucy's beautiful eyes glowed, and she nodded quickly.
She is now a loyal fan of Zeke, and she is naturally very curious about the Iron Man armor that is legendary to many people. Now she has the opportunity to see it, of course, she is happy.
Grace on the side frowned when she heard Zeke calling out the affectionate name "Lucy", and then looking at Lucy's eyes, something was amiss.
"Okay, let's take a look together."
"Jarvis, open my suit showcase."
Zeke snapped his fingers, and suddenly, one of the walls of the living room cracked and opened to both sides.
When a whole row of steel battle suits with different characteristics and cool shapes were presented in front of everyone, the three of them couldn't help but stare in awe.
"Wow!"
Lucy's eyes were full of surprises.
She has seen the Iron Man in the video countless times, and she has also seen Zeke's Mk 42 with her own eyes, but it is the first time she has seen so many Iron Man displayed in front of her.
"Zeke, can I touch them?"
Lucy asked cautiously.
"Certainly!"
"Jarvis, open the closet."
Zeke gave an order and the cabinet opened automatically.
"Wow!"
Lucy stepped forward and reached out to touch the cool metal casings. It was just the cold touch of steel, but it made Lucy excited.
"It's really good."
Grace came to look up and down. She had seen these steel battle suits with her own eyes in the event of usurping the throne, and she knew very well their power.
Therefore, she saw much more finely than Lucy and wanted to see the parts inside through the gaps between the armor.
"How much does a steel suit cost to manufacture?"
Grace asked.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, this belongs to the category of commercial secrets."
Zeke smiled slightly.
Now that his manufacturing skills are mature, plus the channels for purchasing materials have been fixed, and the discounts for more purchases, the cost of building a set of steel battle suits is now much less than before... A set only costs 2 billion Phoenix coins at most.
If mass production is carried out in the future, the cost may be reduced to 1 billion or even lower. Anyway, it only needs to have the most basic functions.
But that's all for the future. To achieve that, Zeke has to at least acquire a few more powerful technologies.
Grace glanced at Zeke.
"Your Majesty, this is my baby, what do you think?"
Zeke spread his hands.
The Phoenix Kingdom has just been attempted to be usurped, and both the economy and all aspects have been greatly affected. Steel battle suits are not necessary for the kingdom.
Grace wanted to ask how much it cost to create but stopped herself. She knows that even if she asked, Zeke might not reveal it to her.
The three watched for a while, Zeke also activated the steel suits, let them wear them, and then went out to fly around.
However, since neither of them had the physique of pilots, they felt nauseated after flying for a while, and they flew back one after another.
"How about it? Not everyone can be Iron Man."
Zeke looked at Grace who was retching, and said with a smile, "By the way, Your Majesty, I just thought of a question, and I want to ask you for advice."
"What is the problem?"
"I heard that country J is supporting a power-seizing force in the Middle East. Is that true?"
Zeke's eyes flickered.
