Chapter 373 Annoying Emails and Trial of the Century
"Sorry everyone, bad news. Our Senator Macaulay, he is also a mutant!" When the first Senator Ebter, who presided over the meeting, said the news. All the other congressmen who participated in the meeting showed shocked faces.
"I have received a definite notification from the New York City Police Department. After repeated DNA comparisons, they confirmed that the corpse belonged to Senator Macaulay, and at the same time confirmed that he was a mutant." Senator Ebout said slightly sternly. Said the news.
Some congressmen below couldn't sit still: "This is unreasonable. If he is a mutant, why would he oppose mutants? He even introduced an anti-mutant bill?"
Another congressman said: "Maybe it's because they don't identify with themselves? There are such people among mutants. They don't recognize their identity as mutants themselves."
"But that doesn't explain it either, he's gone too far."
"Maybe there is some other purpose? A mutant has mixed into our team. Maybe it's some other plan."
"Everyone, everyone. Be quiet." Looking at the somewhat noisy conference room, Senator Ebout motioned for everyone to listen to him: "Now there is a new twist in the problem. Senator Macaulay is a mutant It's a change."
"The issue we need to consider now is not simply whether to implement the Mutant Act. It is Macaulay who can evade the detection of mutant detectors and has been lurking in the government for more than 20 years without anyone knowing." Ebt Point out their most important problems now.
"What's the purpose of his lurking here? Does he have any accomplices? Is his death an accident or a well-planned plan?" Representative Ebout asked many questions in an instant, but no one answered.
"If it is a plan, then what is his purpose? And who is behind Macaulay?"
These things are fatal problems for those in power in this country. It is not an easy task to manage a superpower, and if you are not careful, the ship will capsize.
And any wrong step in the political struggle will suffer a devastating blow. Now the agenda of the entire parliament has been changed, and the bill that Stryker wants to implement has been put on the other side.
"Do you think there is an organization behind Macaulay?"
"It's hard to say, it may be the Brotherhood of Mutants, but it may also be our hostile country!"
"Hostile country?!"
"We need to know that there are also intrigues within the Wuchang. What if someone deliberately trips us up and uses the issue of mutants to fan the flames in our country?"
"Are you saying that someone is deliberately promoting all this? It may even incite a color revolution in the United States (Note)!"
"You must know that this is very possible. Pulling the United States from the number one position in the world is something that many countries hope to do!"
Conspiracy theories, chains of suspicion, Cold War mentality. At this moment, the entire conference room was filled. This is the way of thinking of a seasoned politician, everything needs to be viewed from the worst angle. Those with naive ideas have already capsized silently in the political sea.
Stryker stood in the conference room, listening to the discussions of these congressmen, and felt that he was only a little away from success. If it wasn't for that assistant who came in to report the news! If it weren't for the New York police to find clues!
"Everyone! I think we are facing a huge problem now!" Councilor Ebbot signaled everyone to stop the discussion: "We need to find out whether there are other mutants among our members, and whether the bills they are promoting are as we all guessed The same is to subvert our government!"
"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 authenticity of Senator Macaulay. Situation!" Ebter finally said.
General Stryker, who was still standing in the conference room, seemed to have been completely forgotten, and the members began to adjourn the meeting. They left one by one. This made Stryker a little anxious: "But Senator Abbott! It is a fact that the X-Men destroyed our base!"
Congressman Ebt, who was about to turn around and leave, glanced back at Stryker, as if looking at a stray dog: "I know, I will notify the New York police to deal with this matter."
"New York police?! How could they handle this kind of thing! Mr. Congressman, no matter whether someone is behind this matter or not, it is obvious that mutants are a threat!" Regarding Stryker's words, Ebt didn't agree or disagree, he just stood there quietly, watching what Stryker had to say.
"So, Mr. Congressman, Project X is the most important means of dealing with mutants. Now they have destroyed it. We need to rebuild the entire plan, which requires a lot of money. I hope Congress can..." Stryker's words continued He was interrupted by Ebt before he finished 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 mutant, you used a lot of their compatriots: mutants for experiments. This in itself It will make them angry, even if Charles is a moderate." Abbott said, looking at Stryker.
"Project X has been going on for many years. This plan cannot be exposed. It cannot be known to the public. If ordinary people know the nature of this plan, neither mutants nor ordinary people will support this crazy plan. In any case, mutants People are still human. This will reduce the approval rating of Congress to the freezing point of history."
"And to be honest, Project X has actually failed." Ebt twitched the corner of his mouth at Stryker, as if he wanted to laugh. But in the end it looks like he failed.
"As a weapon plan to deal with mutants, it was defeated by a group of mutants in its base camp, and it still lost a mess. If this was on the frontal battlefield, you would already need to be court-martialed! General Stryker!"
Senator Abbott was relentless in his criticism of Stryker. It seems that he is not optimistic about the Weapon X program at all: "The Congress has invested too much budget in you these years. But you have not produced any tangible results. General Stryker, it is time to let go of your ideas .Those unrealistic plans, you should go back to the regular army sequence. I will talk to the generals in the Pentagon to discuss this later. Plan X stops here!"
Stryker could hardly believe his ears, what did he hear? Congress actually announced that it would completely abandon Plan X because of such a failure? You must know that this was an accident, if you were there at the time!
But Congressman Abbott certainly won't listen to this explanation. For these congressmen, only the victors are worthy of being called generals, and it is already a great gift for the losers not to be sent to military courts.
Stryker is still making the final effort: "We still have a chance, councilor! Just restart Tresker's Sentinel project..."
"Impossible! Triscoe is a Hydra. The worst decision the US government made back then was to accept a large number of scientists from Japan regardless of good or bad. This is a huge mistake! This is how SHIELD is now situation." Ebt interrupted Stryker without thinking.
"Okay, General Stryker, enjoy your last military career. You are nearing the end of retirement, you should think about where you should buy a farm and enjoy your life after retirement." Ebt patted the history Trek's shoulder.
"I'm going to see General Ross in a while. At least his Hulk plan is more reliable than the X plan after being helped by Dr. Richards once."
After speaking, only Stryker remained in place, silent.

When Captain Rogers came out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison, Li Jie just sent a message. "Is there any gain? Captain?"
"I think the professor should have discovered a lot of useful things." It was Professor X who had been following Rogers in the invisible launch position before.
Under the cover of the captain, Professor X successfully entered the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison and read the information from the brains of the Hydra agents.
Many times, what people know or understand is very limited. Because your perspective is fixed, your thinking 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 defeat of World War II. There are many people inside Hydra who don't know how big their organization is.
Because many organizations are not interconnected. Only their true leader, the Red Skull, is aware of the existence of these groups. This is a pawn left by the Red Skull before its defeat, just to make a comeback one day.
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 by others, the professor can see clearly from the perspective of a bystander.
"I did find something interesting, and I think my old friend Magneto would love what I found. About the death of his wife and children. I think I can give him an explanation, and he now has one A definite enemy." The professor passed the information to Li Jie.
Li Jie smiled after receiving the message, this is the best. Let the Brotherhood of Mutants and HYDRA fight first. That way at least I 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.
Li Jie's e-mail also received a special e-mail at this time.
It was not sent by a stranger, but by his assistant at Marvel, but after reading the content of the email, Li Jie felt very, very confused.
"My humble Wade Wilson, nicknamed Deadpool. He is now a professional superhero. I am willing to sell the copyright of my private portrait to your company. I hope to discuss it in detail."
A short email, but the content inside is really troublesome. Because the sender is none other than the Deadpool who made Hawkeye notorious. Li Jie didn't know how to reply at the first moment.
To be honest, Li Jie didn't want to mess with this character who was as difficult as chewing gum. But now that he has come to the door, if he refuses, will he also splash dung, weld the door and spray red paint at the door of his company?
Just thinking about it makes me feel scared. "Okay, he said he is a superhero? I hope, but not a super villain." In the end, Li Jie could only reply a letter to his assistant, telling him to arrange May 15th for Deadpool to be with him The company met and discussed in detail.
And May 15th is also a day of global attention. Not because there is any major holiday today. It's because this day is the day when Captain America Steve Rogers sued the US military and government for infringement!
Note: The Color Revolution refers to a series of coups in Eastern Europe in the late 1920s. As famous as the Arab Spring. For details, you can Baidu.
