MTL - American Comic: Create An Oasis at the Beginning, and the Rise of Mutants-Chapter 41
All eyes focused on the president.
"Admiral Scudder..."
President Matthew Ellis was expressionless, and finally responded: "I hope you can understand whether the mutants are a threat or not, the governments of various countries have not reached a conclusion, and the White House has not yet unified orders on how to treat and deal with the mutants. Release..."
"Forcing the "Mutant Registration Act" is actively provoking war!"
The complexions of Scudder and many generals in the military changed at the same time.
The President... is obviously very upset about the assassination!
He is not entirely convinced that this matter has nothing to do with the military!
Thinking so, Scudder quickly explained.
But before he could speak, he was interrupted by the president waving his hand.
"I am very clear that the large-scale emergence of mutants will have a huge impact on the world of ordinary people. Therefore, I signed and agreed to the X weapon project just in case, so as not to cause turmoil caused by mutants. Officials are powerless Repression!"
"But today, apart from Magneto, other mutants have not posed much threat to us!"
"Even the X-Men are committed to fighting mutant crime!"
"This is undoubtedly a signal of goodwill!"
"It means that a large part of the mutant population is not monsters, and loves peace just like ordinary humans!"
"If because of your active provocation, these mutants are also pushed to the opposite of us, and finally a war between humans and mutants is completely triggered, all of you here..."
"Who can take this responsibility?!"
Matthew Ellis spoke in an orderly manner, and his calm eyes scanned the audience.
Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of many military generals, he added slowly: "The most important thing is, are you ready?"
"If the war starts, your military can guarantee me a certain victory, and Vice President Rodriguez and I will support you without hesitation!"
"So... can you guarantee it?!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the military choked back all the words that came out of their mouths.
Rodriguez was expressionless, and neither agreed nor refuted the president's wearing of his name.
Admiral Scudder was silent for a moment, then spoke again:
"Mr President…"
...
There is a saying that Magneto is right.
Politics is the dirtiest thing in the world.
The art of compromise is everywhere.
Because of this, it is obviously impossible to resolve all differences in one meeting.
After the meeting adjourned, all members of the military left the White House one file at a time. Everyone's face was not good-looking, and Scudder's expression was so gloomy that water could drip out.
"William Stryker that bitch..."
Indistinctly, such whispered curses came from the crowd.
Obviously, this time, although the military resolutely gave up on William Stryker at the first time, it will still be greatly affected, and it will be caught in a 450 move in many things.
However, it was a little strange that one of the people in the crowd had an extremely calm expression on his face.
It doesn't seem to be affected at all.
Seeing him, Scudder couldn't help leaning over and asking, "General Ross, what do you think of the president's attitude?"
"What do you think? Is he really planning to cut our budget and stop dealing with mutants?"
General Ross didn't care, and there was even a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "He just took this opportunity to suppress the power of the military. Are there still fewer mutant experiments under the White House?"
As head of the military's super-soldier program, he has vastly more powers than William Stryker.
Know more things.
Not to mention that special weapons against mutants are being developed in the Worthin laboratory, and Trask Industries is also undertaking the research and development of sentinel robots!
There are countless other laboratories!
Which one is not a large number of mutant test subjects? !
Many of them do not belong to the military!
"That's what I said, but the impact of this incident is too great, and our loss is far from being as simple as a William Stryker..."
Of course Scudder also understood this truth, but his brows were still frowning.
General Ross smiled disdainfully: "Don't worry, General, no matter how powerful the mutants are, our preparations over the years are not useless..."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Scudder was refreshed: "Have you achieved results?"
"Soon…"
General Ross lowered his voice, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Soon, I will be able to catch Bruce Banner. With him, we will soon be able to mass-produce obedient Hulk..."
"General, you have seen Hulk's power before..."
"If we had an army of Hulks, those mutants..."
"What waves can you turn up?"
It never occurred to Scudder to hear good news in this day of bad news.
A smile immediately appeared on his face: "General Ross, you are indeed the mainstay of our military. I will fully support you in the election of the next Secretary of State!"
"Ha ha…"
General Ross beamed with joy, quite complacent.
The two talked about the details of the gamma ray experiment while walking, but before they reached the door, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind them.
Seeing the president's secretary walking quickly, he said eagerly: "Everyone, I just received the news that Academy X suddenly publicly announced the recruitment of mutant students. The president invites you to go back to the meeting!"
General Ross and Scudder looked at each other, and the good mood just now disappeared without a trace.
"Shit!".
Chapter 58: The Wind Rises... The Waves Are Stormy! (Dazhang asks for subscription)
The fact that the X-Men teamed up with Iron Man to destroy the Alkali Lake base undoubtedly caused a huge sensation.
Of course, it also attracted the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D.
What I have to say is that the response speed of S.H.I.E.L.D. is much faster than that of the White House and the military.
But Nick Fury did not send anyone to the scene, but ordered his men to activate all the satellites that S.H.I.E.L.D. could call.
There is only one purpose:
Find the location of the new X Academy by tracking down the Blackbird that the X-Men flew in!
"Boss, recently, although the mutants have made a lot of noise, they haven't threatened the security of the world..."
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. air base, Commander Maria Hill stood in front of the big screen, frowning slightly: "This doesn't seem to be our scope of authority?"
"So I have no intention of dealing with mutants."
In Nick Fury's one-eyed eyes, a bright light flashed away: "It's just that an X Academy that is out of sight, a group of mutants out of sight... always makes people feel uneasy!"
"Understood."
Hill knew the boss's temperament very well, and nodded in agreement: "We don't have to deal with them, but we must know their situation well, in case in the future..."
She didn't continue to say the following words.
Instead, he quietly looked at the fast-moving red light spot on the big screen.
"SHIELD guards the safety of the earth, and any potential threats should be monitored."
Nick Fury half responded, half whispered.
Hill's eyes trembled slightly.
Just as she was about to speak, her complexion changed slightly: "Where are they flying? The Pacific Ocean is ahead..."
Before he finished speaking, the red dots on the big screen suddenly disappeared.
"Yep?!"
Nick Fury asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?!"
"Boss, the target signal has disappeared!"
A group of agents manipulated the computer skillfully, and quickly came to a conclusion. They looked at each other and reported like a ghost: "The fighter planes have no signs of slowing down, so they must not have landed, but just...disappeared so suddenly!"
"It's... gone again?!"
Nick Fury now has a headache hearing these three words.
Last time, Academy X disappeared from where it was;
This time, the Blackbird fighter is flying at high speed...
Can this go away too?
"Could it be that they also have invisibility technology?"
Hill subconsciously thought of this possibility, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. air base can also be quickly invisible.
But then, she denied herself: "Probably not. It takes at least a little time for such a large fighter to enter the invisible state, and it is impossible to disappear instantly, unless their stealth technology is more advanced than ours..."
Thinking of the X Daily that couldn't be deleted, she felt that it was not impossible.
Nick Fury shook his head.
"Intuition tells me that the direction they are flying in is not the location of X Academy at all..."
He didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes became more and more intense: "Perhaps, the X Academy has some kind of space technology for long-distance movement..."
"Space technology?!"
Hill was shocked, and subconsciously thought of the blue-skinned mutant who could teleport.
"The research on the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is about to speed up!"
Nick Fury's character made his sense of security plummet after making such a guess.
But he still ordered in a deep voice: "Colson has gone to the southwest to perform a mission, Hill, you personally lead the team to the location of the target hour, and see if there are any clues!"
"clear!"
…
On the Blackbird fighter plane.
The hundreds of mutants who escaped from the Weapon X base saw the fighter plane pass through a cloud, and the next moment, the scene outside the glass was completely different.
It's like stepping into another world.
But no one was surprised.
Because when they boarded the fighter plane, they had already experienced this unbelievable magic—
Although the internal space of the fighter is not small, it is definitely not enough to accommodate so many people!
But at this moment, more than a hundred people are staying inside, and it doesn't even feel crowded!
This is obviously not normal!
"Okay, everyone...`ˇ..."
Storm's voice broke the silence: "Welcome to Academy X, from now on, this is your home!"
The crowd became slightly agitated.
Through the window, they saw a huge island suspended in the air, with mountains, water, forests, and even roads, and signs...
From the looks of it, this island seems to have risen directly from the ground!
"Is this... our own academy for mutants?"
