1673 Political Struggle
"Then, can I understand that you are being reckless?" the Vice President said slowly.
"No, we all need such a battle, don't we? I want to show you that we have the ability to contain the mutants, and you also need a battle to show that you are the right one, not the controlled president of the United States. And most importantly, our time is limited now. We have no choice but to fight, "Tang Yu replied.
The Vice President was silent for a moment and said, "Are you sure that Charles Xavier will threaten those ballistic missile launch bases?"
"We don't need to be sure of this, Vice President. Do you think that placing the ballistic missile launch bases directly in the enemy's control area is not a problem worth worrying about? "Tang Yu asked.
"Do you have any plans for this? Attack these ballistic missile launch bases? This work can be done by our army. It's not something your Guardian Group should intervene. "
"Send an army over, and then they will all be controlled by Charles Xavier? Now that New York is the center, hundreds of kilometers are under Charles Xavier's control! "
"… In other words, your people won't be controlled?" the Vice President asked.
"Charles can control humans, of course. But there is a type of people he can't control … robots! "Tang Yu said.
"Robots? You mean like those things in science fiction stories? " The Vice President didn't believe this at all. In fact, in the Marvel World, although the superheroes and supervillains all had all kinds of black technology in their hands, the level of social technology would not exceed the current era by much.
"My assistant, Bolivarian Trask, should have given you the video of the battle that happened at Langley Air Force Base?" Tang Yu asked.
"You mean the black box instrument he sent over? Because it was suspected that there was a bomb in it, it was dismantled by the agents. Now our technical team is trying to repair this thing. "The Vice President's voice sounded a little awkward.
"Uh … That's just a video recorder …" Tang Yu was also depressed. He was already very considerate. He sent a video recorder and a videotape over. Who knew that the agents around the Vice President would take it as a bomb and dismantle it.
"Well … Even so, I can still see the superb technical level of the Guardian Group. I am very happy about this." The Vice President was indeed a politician. He quickly erased the matter with a laugh.
Happy my ass! Tang Yu cursed in his heart. As long as he watched this video, he would have three major policies, five major plans, and thirty-two detailed rules to discuss with the Vice President. Then, he would be able to win the support of the state. In the end, this guy actually used the VCR as a bomb! You deserve to be vice president!
"But … regarding the attack on Langley Air Force Base, you owe me an explanation!" The Vice President changed the topic, his voice carrying some dissatisfaction. It was a classic case of feeding a candy and then giving him a slap …
"The explanation is in the thing that was dismantled by your people as a bomb …" Tang Yu was speechless.
"If this is the case, then before this attack is investigated, we still lack a position of mutual trust and mutual benefit, at least not to the extent that we can tell you the location of the ballistic missile launch base." The Vice President said slowly.
Tang Yu frowned. "Now that Charles Xavier has controlled the political and economic center of the United States, are you just going to sit back and watch all this happen?"
"Mr. Tang Yu, I think you are mistaken about one thing. I am now the interim President of the United States of America, and now the country has entered the highest state of war readiness. I have the final decision on all matters. And the Guardian Group has no position and power to interfere with the defense of our country! In addition, do you really think that only you are doing research related to Mutants? "The Vice President said unquestionably.
Tang Yu's face suddenly became gloomy. There is someone else? Who else? Wait a minute, the Rockefeller Group secretly supported William Stryker and the X-Team before. If there is anyone else, then it can only be the Rockefeller family! A dangerous light flashed in Tang Yu's eyes. If this was the case, then the destruction of the VCR sent by Trask was not an accident, but a deliberate conspiracy!!
"Mr. Vice President, Charles Xavier may occupy the ballistic missile base and even launch missiles at any time. In such a situation, I don't think it is necessary to worry about these small things. It is most important to ensure that these bases are under our control." Tang Yu said in a deep voice.
"I understand your determination to contribute to the country, but this matter needs to be investigated further. The location of the ballistic missile base is our country's most important secret, and it is also the basis of our survival under the threat of the Soviet Union! Now that we are in chaos, the Soviets have begun to move! Therefore, I must be more cautious! "
The Vice President paused and his tone eased a little, "But there is still good news. Before His Excellency the President was controlled, he issued the highest alert order, so the officers and soldiers of the ballistic missile force are hidden in the underground missile silos. At present, all the launch bases are in a normal state and are in contact with us. It should be because the lead-containing concrete layer of the underground base isolated Charles' power. I have ordered all the soldiers at the missile base to seal all the nuclear warheads. In this case, even if they are controlled, it will take a long time to reset the missiles to the launch state. "
It seemed that the Vice President didn't want to offend the Guardian Group, so he didn't say anything. Tang Yu hung up the phone, and Bolivarian Trask also sat in front of him and pondered.
"Things are a bit strange. Does the Rockefeller family really have the ability to isolate Charles' mind control? Or do they also have robot troops? Hmm … they do have the blueprint of the Sentinel MK-3 developed by Edward Bachman before, but this robot is obviously unreliable! "Tang Yu pondered.
"The Rockefeller family is rooted in the United States. It is impossible for them to act recklessly at the risk of the destruction of the United States, so there are only two possibilities left. First, the Rockefeller family is also controlled by Charles. Second, they really have the power and confidence to solve this matter. "Trask said.
"No … we know the progress of William Stryker's research very well. Even the super soldiers produced by the unfinished Deadpool project are not immune to Charles' mind control! The Rockefeller Group was only working with Stryker before! So … what if they really got technical support from other places? "Tang Yu said.
"I will arrange for someone to investigate immediately! But what should we do now? "Trask asked.
