Sentinel

Chapter 80 Surging
Stryker's face remained unchanged, he knew that these vulture-like capitalists would not come to him for no reason, and they must have needs.

The ruthless soldier nodded slightly, agreeing with Marcus's words. His lifelong wish was to send those mutants hidden in human society to the dissection table one by one, and let them end their dirty work in howls and pains. s life.

"Watsonton can help Mr. Colonel." Marcus saw that the fire was almost ready, and threw out the bait.

The laboratory needs more data on mutants for pairing comparisons and screening results, but making this request hastily will undoubtedly be rejected by Stryker.Those important core materials are the painstaking efforts of the other party's life, so how can they get them without paying a huge price.

Stryker smiled lightly, he had nothing to ask Watsonton to do, and when negotiating deals with this kind of hungry wolf-like chaebol group, the benefits always fell to himself in the end.

In addition to being a scientist with forward thinking, his mentor Bolivar Teslak was also a smooth and shrewd businessman. This kind of political investment and illegal mergers won the first pot of gold.

Later, when Teslak was studying the mysteries of human DNA, he discovered the X gene contained in the mutant body. He used this to propose to the government to manufacture military weapons to kill mutants, so as to prevent human beings from being destroyed like Neanderthals. Mutants who went further down the evolutionary path became extinct.

It's a pity that this talented scientist with good political skills and ambitions, with the outbreak of the Watergate incident, Nixon, who was relied on, stepped down, and Teslak was also implicated, accused of being a political prisoner, and imprisoned in a dark prison.

And Stryker took the opportunity to take away all the results of Teslak, took advantage of the opportunity to take over the mutant research of the other party, and developed the subsequent "X weapon" plan.

"As far as I know, Colonel Stryker's X-weapon project seems to have been ineffective and unable to satisfy the military. What they need is a killing machine that can be mass-produced and put on the battlefield, and the humanoids created by mutant genes Weapons are not attractive to them."

Marcus narrowed his eyes. Of course, he knew that Mr. Colonel was in an embarrassing situation recently. The research on mutants had achieved some results, but as time passed, neither the White House nor the military paid any attention to these hidden secrets. The special groups in the human society are therefore difficult to get more investment, and even the upper level vaguely wants to cut funds and close the dam base of Lake Akalia.

Stryker's eyes were gloomy. What Marcus said was indeed true. The military's resources are limited, and it is impossible to invest in a research project that cannot see results for a long time. Moreover, General Ross, who was born in the north recently, has established a separate The research team is preparing to reproduce the "Super Soldier Project" of the last century, and has won the support and consent of many people.

Resources are limited, some people get more, and others are bound to get less.The difficult situation made Stryker even come up with a crazy and bold plan to control mutants to attack the White House, assassinate the president, direct and perform a good show by themselves, and convince the government that the existence of mutants is a huge threat in order to gain military support. Support in terms of strength and win resource tilt.

"General Ross is far more connected than you, and has a deep foundation, with a prominent background from a famous family, to reproduce the Captain America of the last century, to create a super legion... Such a plan undoubtedly requires huge investment. , Is it necessary to continue the study of mutants with no prospects?"

Marcus laughed softly, and Senator Kelly next to him couldn't help being startled. These giant plutocrats, like scavengers, are really like the devil in Faust, dragging human beings into the endless abyss full of temptation bit by bit. .

Stryker's eyes changed. Of course he understands that cooperating with these capitalists often has to pay a heavy price beyond his imagination, and if he is not careful, he may be abandoned by the other party at any time.

"What does Watsonton need from me?" He didn't think that he, as an army colonel, had anything that the other party could value.

The generals of the Department of Defense are happy to have an extra generous friend if they want such a huge giant that dominates the American medical market.

"The gene pool of mutants," Marcus wrote lightly.

He knew that Stryker had taken over Teslak's life-long painstaking efforts. After arresting mutants, the army colonel built a gene bank of mutants, which stored the genetic codes of mutants of all generations, which was of great scientific value.

Hearing Marcus' request, Stryker's eyes suddenly radiated a fierce light, like an enraged lone wolf, showing its sharp fangs.The mutant's gene bank can be said to be the fruit and painstaking efforts of his whole life, and it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to others, even at the cost of his life!
"Watsonton's appetite is too big." Stryker said coldly.

Even though he was faced with the difficult situation of being cut off from research funding by the military, it was a bit whimsical for the other party to want to easily take away the mutant gene pool from him.

"Please don't get me wrong." Marcus, like an experienced hunter, did not immediately push his prey into a dead corner, but said slightly loosely: "I just want Colonel Stryker to open up part of the authority of the mutant gene pool. In return, I also Using some White House connections to make your situation a little easier — isn’t that how trust is built? Watsonton never expected a free lunch.”

"Watsonton is conducting research on mutant inhibitory agents, so more experimental data and materials are needed. You can provide me with these Colonel Strykers. In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, the Ministry of Defense will not cut your funding. , cut your project, and instead you get more."

Marcus has a firm tone, which seems to give people strong confidence. He has participated in countless business negotiations and knows how to defeat the opponent's psychological defense step by step.It's like hunting, slowly tighten the encirclement, but don't force the prey to nowhere all of a sudden, so that they struggle and resist violently, loosen a hole, let them relax their vigilance, and the final blow is fatal!
Many shrewd politicians or profit-seeking businessmen fell under Marcus in this way and became a stepping stone for him to climb to the top.

Stryker groaned and did not speak. He took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and wiped them carefully. He was experiencing a fierce ideological struggle in his heart. This colonel did not want to share his achievements with others, but enjoying the cake alone also means being alone. take risks.

"I hope Watsonton won't let me down." Stryker sighed heavily, his gloomy eyes flickered with an unknown light, and he needed Watsonton's strength to get through this difficulty.

As for the future cooperation?He sneered in his heart, maybe the leader of Watsonton would be interested in witnessing the powerful power of mutants.

After reaching a consensus with each other, Stryker didn't stay any longer, and opened the door to leave after a few quick greetings. Senator Kelly was not like the army colonel who acted vigorously and resolutely. He and Watsonton had more room for communication.

After a pleasant close talk, Senator Kelly got the expected promise and left with a relaxed and happy mood.

The senator got into the car, remembering Marcus' instructions, he couldn't help but smiled slightly: "Hehe, Osborne and Umbrella, two weak opponents."
