American Manga: The beginning creates an oasis, and mutants rise

Chapter 57 High-Level Meeting! General Ross’s confidence! (Big chapter asking for subscription)

White House Office.

A high-level meeting was urgently convened late at night.

Those who attended the meeting were all heavyweights in the military and political circles.

The White House side is naturally headed by President Matthew Ellis and Vice President Rodriguez, and in the military seat, the highest rank is Army General Scudder.

This meeting was full of gunpowder from the very beginning.

“What does your military want to do? You actually controlled mutants to assassinate the president and wanted to rebel?!”

“Mr. President, this matter has nothing to do with the military, it is completely the personal behavior of William Stryker, we didn’t know he would be so crazy!”

“Assassinating the president is such a big thing, you say you don’t know? When we are fools?!”

“But this is indeed the case, William Stryker has been arrested, as long as he is strictly interrogated, I believe that the truth will be found out soon!”

“The truth? In order to deal with mutants, you will not hesitate to assassinate the president to get the White House to agree to the truth of your plans?!”

“Every plan we put forward is for the country, for the people, for the survival of mankind!”

“But your plans are miserable, and each one costs a huge budget!”

“I must emphasize that this is a war, and if humanity wants not to be overthrown by mutants, is it not even willing to pay the price of spending money?”

“Ha, it’s nice to say, where those budgets are spent, do you dare to make it public?!”

“You slander! Could it be that someone in our military is full of private pockets?!

“

“Isn’t it? With so much money spent, are there any reliable results today? When you launched the X-Weapon program, you vowed to create a mutant elite that would do our bidding, now what? Served by the X-Men!”

“The X-Weapon program is not a failure, because of our intervention, all the information has been sealed, and as long as there is a chance, it can be restarted again at any time!”

“Still want to restart? Are you afraid you’re dreaming? If there is no experimental subject, will you go outside to arrest again? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us now?!”

“It doesn’t matter, the last thing in this world is mutants, as long as we are willing, we will soon be able to find enough experimental subjects!”

“10 Are you crazy? Don’t forget that the Mutant Registration Bill was not passed, and even if it passed, mutants are not criminals legally!”

These words are from Vice President Rodriguez.

As soon as he spoke, the noisy red-faced crowd suddenly all quieted down.

Who can attend this meeting is not a scheming old fox?

Almost everyone understood the meaning of this sentence, in the final analysis, whether it was the X-Weapon program or other plans against mutants… There is no legal support!

That is, these plans are shady!

The biggest mistake of the military this time is to expose the X-weapon program to the public eye, which is a huge blow to the prestige of the military and the prestige of the White House!

“Everyone, I hope you all understand one thing… Mutants are not pigs to be slaughtered!”

Rodriguez stretched out his finger and tapped the table in front of him heavily, his majestic gaze swept the audience: “Look at the wind direction outside, do you know how many people are scolding you now?” And how many people have changed their attitude towards mutants because of this?!”

With his words, a secretary quickly controlled the computer, and one picture after another appeared on the big screen.

It’s a screenshot of the X Daily.

“This damn app can’t be uninstalled, the installed base has reached a terrible number, plus it can let people post videos, share their lives, love users, and now it is about to sweep the country!”

Rodriguez said in a deep voice: “You must not have imagined that in the short period of time that the X-Weapon program was exposed, how many people posted videos angrily denouncing William Stryker as a butcher, condemning the X-Weapon program, and suspecting that the military was harboring evil intentions… There are even those who demand that the White House severely punish William Stryker and strictly investigate the military conspiracy!”

“Fuck!”

The faces of the high-ranking military officials all became gloomy like water.

“Your Excellency Vice President, this is obviously a mutant behind the scenes!”

Admiral Skadel finally spoke: “They want to manipulate public opinion, change their image, convince the people that they are not a threat… This is a provocation against us!”

“Of course I know, but is there something wrong with that?”

Rodriguez shook his head: “Again, legally speaking, mutants are not criminals, they are also legal citizens with various rights, they seek rights for their own group, what reason do we have to stop it?”

No one believes in such high-sounding nonsense.

But this sentence points to the point of the whole thing… The mutant horde is starting to pursue its own interests! And in a regular way!

This is by no means a good phenomenon!

“These videos must be shut down immediately to stop them from spreading!”

A military general spoke: “And that X-Daily, which company did it?” Let the FBI launch the investigation process immediately!”

The classic can’t solve the problem, just solve the person who made the problem.

“It’s useless, with our existing technology, we can’t make any impact on the X Daily at all…”

Someone on the White House side immediately shook his head: “As for that company, it is owned by a person named Katie Pride who is a reporter from that mutant channel, and other than that, the other information is all false… Obviously, she registered the company just to upload the app, and after success, she disappeared!”

The big guys in the conference room looked at each other.

“So, we, as the number one country in the world, have an inexplicable app… Helpless?!”

I don’t know who said that.

In this level of meeting, there is a sense of dark humor.

“Maybe we can turn to Tony Stark?”

Admiral Scudder frowned and thought of a way: “He can create a technological weapon beyond the times such as a steel suit, and he has also developed an artificial one, there should be a way!”

His face was a little ugly.

Such a little thing, even asking for help from the boss of an arms company, somewhat damaged the face of the White House and the military.

Someone shook his head again: “This method has also been tried, and Mr. Stark’s reply is that he can’t do it either!”

“Can’t do it? I don’t think he wants to do it!”

Admiral Skard snorted coldly: “Why did he appear this time?” Could it be that there is some kind of connection between him and the mutant that we don’t know about?!”

Once again, the crowd fell silent.

This question cannot be thought about in detail.

“That’s the crux of the matter!”

Rodriguez sighed deeply: “Who is Tony Stark?” The procurement partner that the military has cooperated with for many years has a very close relationship with the official, and he is also a super elite among our ordinary humans, but after this incident, he actually publicly expressed his sympathy for mutants and dissatisfaction with the military in the live broadcast…”

“What does this mean, don’t you understand?!”

Of course everyone understands.

It means that the storm of public opinion in the recent period has had an impact on Iron Man, a human elite who controls a lot of wealth and resources!

Can he be influenced, what about other consortium bosses, human elites, officials at all levels?

Will it also begin to sympathize with mutants?!

Everyone here knows very well that the resources of this society have been in the hands of a few people from ancient times to the present, and the voices of ordinary people can be ignored, but if there are more human elites like Iron Man who change their attitudes…

For them, it will be a huge blow!

“Mutants must be combated!”

Skadel said without the slightest hesitation: “I can’t let it go like this anymore, I think it is necessary to restart the Mutant Registration Act and implement it as quickly as possible!”

One by one, eyes converged on the president.

“Admiral Skard…..”

President Matthew Ellis was expressionless, and finally opened his mouth to respond: “I hope you can understand whether mutants are a threat or not, governments have not reached a conclusion, how to treat and deal with mutants, and the White House has not yet issued a unified order…”

“Imposing the Mutant Registration Act is actively provoking a war!”

The faces of Scudder and even many military generals changed at the same time.

President…… Apparently worried about this 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’s wave.

“I know very well that the large-scale appearance of mutants will have a huge impact on the world of ordinary people, so I signed and agreed to the X-Weapon plan just in case, so as not to cause turmoil caused by mutants, and the official is powerless to suppress!”

“But today, except for Magneto, the other mutants don’t pose much threat to us!”

“Even the X-Men are dedicated to fighting mutant crime!”

“This is undoubtedly a sign of goodwill!”

“It shows that a large part of the mutant group is not a monster, and they love peace as much as ordinary humans!”

“If, because of your active provocation, these mutants are also pushed to our opposite, and finally completely trigger a war between humans and mutants, all of you here…”

“Who can take on this responsibility?!”

Matthew Ellis spoke methodically and his calm gaze scanned the audience.

Seeing that many military generals had different colors on their faces, he slowly added: “The most important thing is, are you ready?”

“If the war starts, your military can assure me of victory, and Vice President Rodriguez and I will not hesitate to support you!”

“So… Can you guarantee it?!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the military rushed to their lips, and they all choked back.

Rodriguez was expressionless and neither echoed nor refuted that the president took his name.

Admiral Scudder was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: “Mr. President…”

There is a saying that Magneto said it in the slightest.

Politics is the dirtiest thing in the world.

The art of compromise everywhere.

It is also because of this that it is obviously impossible to resolve all differences in one meeting.

After the meeting, everyone in the military left the White House, everyone’s faces were ugly, and Scardel’s expression was even more gloomy and could drip water.

“William Stryker that bitch…”

Faintly, there was also such a low scolding from the crowd.

Obviously, this time, although the military decisively abandoned William Stryker at the first time, it still had to be greatly affected, and in many things fell into being moved by 837.

However, it was somewhat strange that one of the people in the crowd had a face that was extremely calm.

It doesn’t seem to be affected at all.

Seeing this, Scudder couldn’t help but lean in and ask, “General Ross, what do you think of the president’s attitude?”

“What do you think? Is he really going to cut our budget and stop dealing with mutants?”

General Ross didn’t care, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes: “He just took this opportunity to suppress the power of the military, and those mutant experiments under the White House are there still less?”

As the head of the military’s super soldier program, he has a lot more power than William Stryker.

There are also more things to know.

Not to mention that in the Worthing laboratory, special weapons against mutants are being developed, and Trask Industries is also undertaking the research and development of sentinel robots!

There are countless other labs! Which one is not a whole bunch of mutant experimental subjects in it?! There are quite a few of them, but they do not belong to the military!

“That being said, but the impact of this incident is too great, and our loss is far from being as simple as William Stryker…”

Of course, Scudder also understood this, but his brows were still furrowed.

General Ross smiled disdainfully: “General, don’t worry, no matter how powerful the mutants are, our preparations over the years are not useless…”

“Oh?”

When Skadel heard this, his spirits lifted: “You have results over there?”

“Soon…”

General Ross lowered his voice, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes: “Soon, I will be able to catch Bruce Banner, and with him, we will soon be able to mass-produce obedient Hulks…”

“General, the power of the Hulk, you have seen it…”

“If we had an army of Hulks, those mutants…”

“What waves can be turned over?”

Scudder never expected to hear a good news on such a day as today’s series of bad news.

A smile immediately appeared on his face: “General Ross, you are worthy of being the mainstay of our military, and I will fully support you in the election of the next secretary of state!”

“Haha…”

General Ross was overjoyed and quite satisfied.

The two were talking about the details of the gamma ray experiment as they walked, and before they reached the door, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind them.

Seeing the president’s secretary coming quickly, he said eagerly: “Everyone, just received the news, X Academy suddenly announced the recruitment of mutant students, and the president invited you to go back to the meeting!”

General Ross and Scudder looked at each other, and the good mood just now disappeared instantly.

“Shit!”
