"Damn, what do those guys want to do?"
In the presidential villa in New York, the current president was furious in the conference room wearing a sweater, and slapped the table with an angry palm.
Surrounded by think tanks that depend on him, as well as the middle forces in interest groups and parties.
"Are they going to go to war with us completely?"
The current president is a middle-aged white man. After the previous president was held responsible for the Malacca Strait incident and was eventually forced to step down, he took office and "worked diligently" and "behaved."
Boosting the domestic economy, exporting wars abroad, and shifting his focus, he originally thought that he had eliminated the influence left by the previous unlucky president, but he didn’t expect such a big incident to pop up now.
In just two or three days, hundreds of influential people, whether they were wealthy, chaebols, or military and political people, died in an extremely miserable way.
The tragic death scene and the shattered bodies showed what kind of torture they had endured before death.
A large part of these dead people were from the United States, and of course there were squids.
The impact and panic caused by this have quickly spread throughout the United States and allied countries. Although the public opinion was quickly suppressed and not many civilians knew about it, those powerful forces got the news.
Their panic caused the huge turmoil today.
For those in power, no matter how many civilians died, the impact would be great, but as long as they were properly operated, most of the people could be in an information cocoon and could not get any news at all.
It is also easy to eliminate the remaining people who know the truth.
To put it bluntly, no matter how many people in the lower class died, it would not shake the foundation of the rule. However, the death of those upper class elites in an abnormal way was enough to stir up waves, not to mention that some of them were squids.
This group of squids has developed very rapidly in recent years, and its influence has spread rapidly throughout the world.
Even in the US top level, they can be found in all aspects of politics.
This group of people is also very united. As the president, he has been under pressure from many aspects.
Everyone knows who is behind these deaths, because those guys have no intention of hiding, but come and go openly.
"Mr. President 233, this is a warning, and it is also a war that may be triggered." A slightly bald middle-aged man in a white suit pushed his glasses and said in a deep voice.
"Fuck, of course I know it, but how we should solve it is the most critical issue. I don’t want to be the last unlucky guy and become a victim of this turmoil."
Mr. President cursed, then sat down in his chair weakly, rubbed his eyebrows, and his face was full of fatigue.
The think tank members sat at the conference table, flipping through the documents in their hands. Another female member of the think tank had a flickering look in her eyes.
"Mr. President, I need to remind you that if this war breaks out, our chances of winning are probably not very high."
"Stina, are you kidding? We are the most powerful country in the world, with the most powerful navy, army and air force, and we are just a bunch of mutants." One of the white men with a resolute face retorted, seeming to be a little unhappy after hearing this.
"Mr. Paul, although this is true, please don’t underestimate these mutants, otherwise, we wouldn’t be so afraid of them and couldn’t kill them all, right?"
After being refuted, Stina didn’t get angry, but calmly stated the facts: "Don’t forget, aren’t we afraid of the two most powerful mutant leaders, Magneto and Professor X?"
"The power of the strongest telepath who can manipulate magnetism, the lethality and destructive power, can anyone of us resist it?"
"In our top-secret data, during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, Magneto controlled hundreds of missiles and artillery shells launched at them, and in 1963, he assassinated President Kennedy, how much damage has the Brotherhood led by Magneto caused over the years. "
"Didn’t we send troops? Of course we did, but there was no way to deal with him. Many times, it was with the help of Professor X and the X-Men that Magneto’s conspiracy and sabotage were thwarted. "
"Now, while facing Magneto and his Brotherhood, Professor X and the X-Men, the world’s strongest telepaths, have also joined them."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the leaders of the two groups of mutants have united. They do not have a strong army or weapons, but their abilities are enough to kill anyone, and even destroy a country easily."
Stina’s words made everyone in the conference room fall silent.
These facts are in front of them. It is still a fact that they think the United States is the strongest country, but there are monsters on this planet that can destroy the strongest country. Not to mention Madripoor Port, these two mutant leaders are already a strong enough threat.
Wage a war?
How many people will they die?
If it was just the loss of soldiers, they would not be afraid of money, nor of massacring civilians. What they feared was the invisible means of killing, which would kill them all at once. This was the most terrifying.
Magneto controlled the magnetic force, and any missiles and bullets fired were ineffective. Instead, they would be manipulated to be thrown back at the United States. X-Men, the strongest telepath, had a powerful and all-pervasive mental power, invading their mental world and tampering with their memories. If even their high-level personnel were invaded and tampered with, their consciousness would be invaded.
It can be said that the direction of victory in this war has already failed.
This terrible ability made everyone gasp in their hearts. Fuck, if that damn old man had a more sinister and decisive mind, and quietly tampered with the thoughts and memories of the most powerful and influential high-level personnel in the United States, then at that time, it could be said that X-MenCan rule the United States.
They are spreading these methods to the whole world in a very formal way.
Just thinking about it makes my spine cold.
That is only X. If it were a bunch of ambitious people like them, they would not care about any rules and regulations.
Fortunately, the old guy is stubborn and stupid enough, otherwise the world might have changed its master long ago, everyone including the president muttered secretly.
Also expressed envy and contempt for X.
What a waste of such a powerful ability.
"Ahem~~Okay." Fortunately, the president reacted quickly. He interrupted everyone’s association with a dry cough and praised Stina from the think tank: "Thank you, Ms. Stina, you did a good job and you are right."
"We should have enough awareness of defense and should not underestimate those mutants."
"But now, we need to solve the current crisis."
"Tell me what you think."
"Mr. President, according to our investigation, the mutants killed people and were involved in some human experiments. They were either the host or the financial sponsors who provided funds. They were caught in the large-scale capture of mutant experiments, so they ushered in the revenge of the mutants."
"From the scene of death, their way of death should be exactly the same as those mutants who were experimented."
"This is revenge."
A think tank said in a deep voice.
"What a bunch of damn idiots." The president covered his forehead with a helpless look. Although he had known that these people had no bottom line, knowing the source of the matter still made him feel a little incredible.
Can a bunch of idiots be more cruel (afbe)?
But thinking about the history of the squids, he could only laugh. It would be better to expect pigs to speak than to expect these people to have some humanity.
"So now we are all paying for the bloody crimes committed by those guys?" An old white man, a congressman in the interest group, said dissatisfiedly. He didn’t know about this matter yet. It turned out that such idiots were looking for death themselves, and now they were implicated.
You know, if this matter is not handled well, the president they have invested huge costs to support will also step down at the speed of light, and their efforts will be completely wasted.
"Mr. President, do you know the Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency?" Stina suddenly spoke, attracting everyone’s attention.
The president was a little surprised, and nodded after thinking for a while: "I remember it seems to be a top-secret department. Before, it submitted a plan bill to the World Security Council and it was passed. Congress has to approve a large amount of funds every year, which also caused dissatisfaction in the military."
"Damn, this name is really long." (To read the exciting novel, just go to Faloo Novel Network!)
The president complained.
Stina’s mouth curved, as if she was laughing, but it only took a moment to become serious: "It seems that they abbreviated the name not long ago. Now it should be called S.H.I.E.L.D."
"It’s a very smart decision,So Stina, what does this department have to do with what we are talking about now? "
The president was a little confused.
"Mr. President, SHIELD was established during World War II. Its purpose is to combat supernatural events and monitor some dangerous things and people. According to some information I found, SHIELD is very good at intelligence. I think we should meet the director of SHIELD. In this crisis, I think he should be able to give us some help."
Stina said seriously.
The president pondered, the interest groups don’t care about those, as long as they can quickly resolve this crisis.
So they all expressed their agreement.
"Okay, I need to meet this director, Mr. immediately." The president said to his assistant for national security affairs, also known as the president’s national security adviser, who is a senior assistant in the president’s executive office and his most trusted confidant.
This person is dressed in a crystal and wears glasses: "Okay, Mr. President, I will contact this director now. ”
After that, he left the meeting room.
During the waiting period, everyone was still discussing some feasible plans, but the results were not very good. Fortunately, in less than an hour, a black man with a black coat, a tall figure and an eye mask walked in.
It was Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD.
"Mr. President."
"Director Fury, I think you should know what happened recently." The president’s tone was very gentle and not tough. After all, although he was the president, he was now asking for help, so he was naturally a little kind. After all, it was impossible to get to this position without brains. []
"Yes, Mr. President, SHIELD’s responsibility is to be responsible for supernatural events. So far, a total of 1,383 people have been killed. Some of these dead people are powerful and have brought very bad effects. "
Of course Fury knew that he was here because someone who mentioned him was also an agent.
Although this was not in line with the code of conduct of SHIELD, he could not care about it in the current situation, not to mention that he has never been a person who fully abides by the code of conduct.
As long as the goal can be achieved, any means can be used.
"It is indeed very bad. In the one hour between my assistant contacting you and you coming to the conference room, thirteen calls came to me. They only had one request, to arrest all those who caused this tragedy. "The president sat on the chair with his legs crossed, his hands on his legs, and spoke in a calm tone.
He looked calm and relaxed.
Fury had a look of admiration on his face, as if he admired the president’s character. In fact, he had known that the president had been very anxious these past two days.
He would not expose the president now, but followed his words and said solemnly and seriously: "The large-scale killing of the top class will cause the situation in the whole world to be unbalanced. We need to stop those mutants from continuing."
"That’s very true.Okay, Director Fury, do you have any way to help me solve this problem? "
After the president finished speaking very straightforwardly, he added: "If you can solve it, then I think S.H.I.E.L.D.’s ability should not stop here."
In fact, the words have been said clearly, it is a deal.
Fury said without nonsense: "I can be a spokesperson to negotiate with the mutants."
He knew that the so-called "big guys" in the negotiation would not end at all. As for the heaven-defying ability of X, they had no doubt that they would be manipulated as long as they appeared. This killing had already scared them out of their wits.
"I believe their demands are simple, but they need some people to sacrifice."
"They will not agree. "The president shook his head and rejected it.
Those people just want the mutant group to disappear, no matter how much it costs, the war won’t affect these big guys anyway.
"Then tell them that Professor X has a mind amplifier that can make his mind power spread all over the earth. If the war starts, they will be the first to die."
"Watfake?"
The president widened his eyes..
