"I'm sorry, everyone, but I have bad news. Our councilor McCauley is also a mutant! "When Councilor Abbott, who was presiding over the meeting, revealed the news, Jiang Fei was shocked. All the other senators who participated in the meeting revealed shocked expressions.
"I've received confirmation from the New York City Police Department. After repeated DNA comparisons, they confirmed that the body belonged to Councilor McCauley. At the same time, they confirmed that he was a mutant, "Councilor Abbott reported the news in a slightly cold tone.
Some of the senators couldn't sit still anymore. "This doesn't make sense. If he's a mutant, why would he oppose mutants? Why would he even promote the anti-mutant bill? "
Another senator said, "Maybe it's because he doesn't recognize himself? There are such people among the mutants. They don't recognize themselves as mutants. "
"But this doesn't explain why he went too far."
"Maybe there's another purpose? A mutant infiltrated our team. Maybe it's some other plan. "
"Everyone, everyone. Quiet. " Looking at the noisy meeting room, Senator Abbott gestured for everyone to listen to him. "There's a new twist to the problem now. The fact that Senator McCauley is a mutant is a change. "
"The problem we need to consider now is no longer as simple as whether or not to promote the mutant bill. It's that McCauley was able to avoid the detection of the mutant detector and lurked in the government for more than 20 years without anyone knowing. "Abbott pointed out their most important problem now.
"What's his purpose in hiding? Does he have accomplices? Was his death an accident or a well-planned plan? "Senator Abbott asked many questions in an instant, but no one answered.
"If it's a plan, then what's his purpose? And who's the person behind McCauley? "
These things were fatal questions for the people in power in this country. It wasn't easy to manage a superpower. The slightest mistake could lead to failure.
And in a political struggle, any step wrong would lead to a devastating blow. Now that the direction of the entire discussion had been changed, the bill that Stryker wanted to promote was put aside.
"Do you think there's an organization behind McCauley?"
"It's hard to say. It could be the Mutants Brotherhood, but it could also be our enemy country!"
"Hostile country?!"
"We need to know that the P5 is also scheming against each other. What if someone deliberately makes things difficult for us and uses the issue of mutated humans to fan the flames in our country? "
"Are you saying that someone is deliberately pushing all of this? He might even incite a color revolution in the US! "
"You have to know that this is very possible. Many countries want to pull the US down from the number one position in the world! "
Conspiracy theory, chain of suspicion, cold war mentality. At this moment, it filled the entire conference room. This was the mindset of a seasoned politician. Everything had to be viewed from the worst possible angle. Those who held naive ideas had long been silently capsized in the sea of politics.
Stryker stood in the conference room and listened to the discussion of the old men of Congress. He felt that he was only a little bit away from success. If the assistant hadn't come in to report the news! If the New York Police hadn't found a clue!
"Everyone! I think we're facing a huge problem! " Senator Abbott gestured for everyone to stop the discussion. "We need to find out if there are other mutated humans among our members, and if these bills they are pushing are intended to subvert our government as we all speculate!"
"Before figuring out these things, I hope that everyone will remain calm and restrained! Don't easily fall into any possible traps. This is very critical at this point in time! I will personally go to New York to confirm the true situation of Senator McCauley! "Senator Abbott finally said this.
General Stryker, who was still standing in the conference room, seemed to be completely forgotten. The members began to disperse. They left one by one. This made Stryker a little anxious. "But Senator Abbott! It's a fact that the X-Men destroyed our base! "
Senator Abbott, who was about to turn around and leave, looked back at Stryker as if he was looking at a stray dog. "I know. I will inform the New York Police to deal with this matter."
"The New York Police?!! How can they deal with this kind of thing! Mr. Senator, regardless of whether someone is behind this, it's obvious that the mutated humans are a threat! " Abbott did not agree or disagree with Stryker's words. He just stood there quietly, waiting to see what else Stryker had to say.
"So, Mr. Senator, Project X is the most important means to deal with the mutated humans. Now they have destroyed it. We need to rebuild the entire plan, which requires a lot of money, and I hope Congress can … "Stryker was interrupted by Abbott before he could finish speaking.
"To be honest, General Stryker, I'm not surprised that Professor X would send people to attack your base. From the perspective of a mutated human, you used a large number of their compatriots: mutated humans to experiment. This in itself will provoke their anger, even if Charles is a moderate. "Abbott looked at Stryker and said.
"Project X has been going on for many years. This plan can't be exposed. It can't be known to the public. If ordinary people know the nature of this plan, neither mutated humans nor ordinary people will support this crazy plan. In any case, mutated humans still look like humans. This will reduce the approval rating of Congress to an all-time low. "
"And to be honest, Project X has actually failed." Abbott twitched the corner of his mouth at Stryker. It seemed that he wanted to laugh. But in the end, it seemed that he failed.
"As a weapon plan to deal with mutated humans, it was defeated by a group of mutated humans in its own base camp, and it was a complete loss. If this was on the battlefield, you would already need to be court-martialed! General Stryker! "
Senator Abbott's criticism of Stryker was merciless. It seemed that he was completely pessimistic about Project X, "Congress has invested too much in you over the years. But you haven't produced any results that are worthy of praise. General Stryker, it's time to give up on your ideas. Those unrealistic plans, you should return to the ranks of the regular army. I will meet with the generals in the Pentagon later to discuss this matter. Let's stop Project X here! "
Stryker almost couldn't believe his ears. What did he just hear? Congress actually announced that it would completely abandon Project X because of such a failure? It had to be known that this was an accident. If he was there at the time!
But Senator Abbott certainly wouldn't listen to such an explanation. For these old men in Congress, only the victor deserved to be called a general. It was already a great gift that the loser wasn't sent to the military court.
Stryker was still making one last effort, "We still have a chance, Senator! As long as we restart Trisco's Sentinel Project … "
"Impossible! Trisco is a Hydra. The worst decision the US government made back then was to accept a large number of scientists from Nazi Germany without distinguishing between good and bad. This was a huge mistake! That's why we have the current situation of S.H.E.L.D.. "Abbott interrupted Stryker without thinking.
"Well, General Stryker, enjoy your last military career. You are close to retirement. You should think about where you should buy a farm after retirement and enjoy your life. "Abbott patted Stryker on the shoulder.
"I'm going to see General Ross later. At least his Hulk Project has been helped by Dr. Richards once, and it will be more reliable than Project X."
After speaking, only Stryker was left in the same place, silent.
… …
When Captain Rogers came out of S.H.E.L.D. prison, a message came from Li Jie. "Did you find anything? Captain? "
"I think the professor should have found a lot of useful things." It was Professor X who had been following Rogers with the Invisible Launch Field.
Under the cover of the Captain, Professor X successfully entered the prison of S.H.E.L.D. and read the information from the brains of those Hydra agents.
Most of the time, what people know or understand is very limited. Because your perspective is fixed, your thoughts will always be confused by something, which will cause a certain deviation in thinking.
For example, Hydra, a huge organization, has split into many branch organizations since the failure of World War II. Many of Hydra's internal personnel do not know how big their organization is.
Because many organizations are not connected to each other. Only their real leader, Red Skull, knows the existence of these organizations. This is the chess piece left by Red Skull before his defeat, just so that one day he could make a comeback.
Professor X, on the other hand, read the memories of 30 prisoners, with a depth of more than 20 years. Every detail of their lives, where they may be confused, the professor saw it clearly from the perspective of a bystander.
"I did find something interesting, and I think my old friend Magneto will like what I found. About the death of his wife and child. I think I can give him an explanation, and he now has a clear enemy. "The professor passed the message to Li Jie.
Li Jie smiled after receiving the message. That's for the best. Let the Mutants Brotherhood and Hydra fight first. At least he won't have a headache. As for how to pass the information to Magneto, I believe that as an old friend, the professor will have a way.
And Li Jie's email box also received a special email at this time.
It was not from a stranger, but from his assistant at Marvel. But after reading the content of the email, Li Jie felt very confused.
"I'm Wade? Wilson, nicknamed Deadpool. Now a professional Superhero. Willing to sell the copyright of my private portrait to your company. Hope to discuss in detail. "
It was a short email, but the content was really troublesome. Because the sender is none other than the Deadpool who made Hawkeye notorious. Li Jie didn't know what to do for the first time.
To be honest, Li Jie doesn't want to mess with this character who is as difficult as chewing gum. But now that he has come to his door, if he refuses, will he also splash feces at the door of his company and spray red paint on the door?
Just thinking about it makes him feel scared. "Well, he said he is a Superhero? I hope so, just not a Supervillain. " In the end, Li Jie could only reply to the assistant, telling him to arrange for May 15th and let Deadpool meet with him at the company to discuss in detail.
