Chapter 1687: New X Team (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!)
During the lecture, he suddenly left behind the students who were "waiting for food" and left suddenly... This immediately plunged the scene into chaos... In fact, these students had no interest in listening to a so-called 'successful person' who was thousands of miles away from them. Pretending to be cool in front of yourself... In fact, the reason why I participated in the speech was because of my strong mentality. After all, most of the people who can give speeches in universities are successful people, and everyone will be curious.
Secondly, this can be regarded as participating in social activities, especially for those students who intend to participate in politics. Although such a speech may not necessarily be beneficial, there is no harm in it. If you can have some interaction with the speaker during the speech, It can also be regarded as a road to heaven.
But it’s rare for a speaker to suddenly leave midway without warning, especially when the speaker is the President of the United States!
You know, for politicians, college speeches are actually quite important. Because college students represent the main force in society in the future, it is very important for a politician to get the support of those college students.
So under what circumstances would the president abandon the audience and leave directly?
Then there is only one possibility... a crisis that may endanger the president's life has occurred!
So the students below suddenly started making trouble. After all, if they can threaten the president... then they will definitely be more dangerous!
Fortunately, the president saw the chaos happening below and immediately dispatched his own Secret Service agents and members of his office to help stabilize order and reassure people. Of course, I cannot tell the truth, I can only say that there are important matters that need to be handled by the president immediately.
Although most people were still suspicious, fortunately there were people to comfort them, and they were all college students. Although they were not disciplined, they had some knowledge, so things did not get worse. Under the arrangement of the school, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner. .
But the impact of this incident also spread immediately.
After all, when the president gives a speech, he is not only accompanied by his own people, but also by N multimedia reporters. After all, any speech the President of the United States makes anywhere will be commented upon by those boring analysts and commentators.
If such an accident happens now, the media will naturally not let it go.
Everyone is curious about what happened that caused the president to leave without warning.
Was there a terrorist attack somewhere?
Or something more serious?
In short, there are too many mysteries... However, it is precisely this kind of uncertain secret that is more attractive, and the media has ushered in another carnival. Anyway, the audience just likes to watch those innocent commentators and analysts swearing and cursing on TV... Who cares whether what they say is correct?
So get dry!
…
But Benjamin was no longer in the mood.
He was angry, but more because of fear... Don't do it again!
If there is another Titan War, it is another matter whether the United States insists on it or not. His heart cannot bear it! If millions of people were killed and injured again, he felt that it would be meaningless for this president to be re-elected. God knows how much effort he put into raising money to rebuild Miami and San Francisco? You know, he even abandoned Hawaii... There is no way that there are few people in Hawaii, so votes are not important. In addition, there are mostly locals. When the United States was strong, they didn't care much about those people, let alone now. (As you can see from the fires in Hawaii, the U.S. government really looks down on the indigenous people)
"How bad are things?"
Benjamin got on his special car and asked his chief of staff directly.
"It's not the worst yet... but it's clear that our intelligence agencies have failed in their duties. We didn't receive any notification before, not even a hint of warning, and the base was attacked... Now the general at the base has The current situation is tentatively classified as Level 3... but it is very likely to develop towards Level 4. As for what will happen in the end, no one knows!”
"Contact my generals and those intelligence agencies immediately, I want to have a meeting with them on Air Force One! I need to know, I spend so much money every year, why every time when an attack comes, we are always the last to know!" !”
According to what the chief of staff told him before, it was obvious that this was a premeditated attack... But when the attack happened, you just told me that it was premeditated... Did you tell me? What were you doing before?
Every time those institutions faced him, they would cry for poverty, saying that the situation was terrible and that more budgets were needed... Benjamin gave me the money, but you gave me this kind of report?
"By the way, put me on Kai's phone!"
"Mr. President! I think..."
"What do you think? What do you think? Do you think we can clean up the mess if things get to their worst? We don't have to rely on superheroes! Why don't I be more direct and let my friends go over and take a look, maybe we can reduce the loss to lowest?"
After saying this, Benjamin became even more angry. He actually understood what the chief of staff meant. After all, they were the national government. When a disaster happened, they actually asked superheroes for help. This was almost an admission of the government's incompetence. No one wants this, as it will only increase the authority of superheroes in society and weaken the authority of the government.
Therefore, the chief of staff and those politicians instinctively hate such a proposal. After all, to put it bluntly, even if people die, they will not die. If the assholes die, they will die. At most, when the time comes, they will arrive at the scene, hold candles and pretend to be cool, and let the media publish two land-washing articles, that is What does it have to do with them in the past?
But weakening the government's authority is closely related to them. They can dig into the country's corners, but others can't! Without the government's authority, how can they act arrogantly? How can they be superior to others? How can they collude with officials and businessmen? How can they get so many lobbying fees?
But it is precisely because of this that Benjamin is angry. Damn, is he willing to go to others for help? He is the president! If there is anyone who cares about the government's authority the most, it is him! But Nima, you bastards are not up to the task! The country spends so much money every year, and the result is this?
Just give me this?
"Do you know what do you think the people will think of us if there is another Titan War? Ah! Tell me? Is it better for Kai to solve the problem before it breaks out, or for Kai to solve it after the problem breaks out? As long as you can give me a reasonable solution, I will immediately agree with your point of view!"
Benjamin looked at his chief of staff with a covetous look.
In fact, he was still quite happy to see his chief of staff come up with a solution.
"Then...then...can we let Kai stand by? At least give him a chance, what if the problem is not that serious?" The chief of staff also knew that what Benjamin said was fine...but he still had to fight for it.
Benjamin exhaled.
He also knew that relying on Kai was not a good idea, but...never mind.
After all, so much money has been spent and so many superpower teams have been formed, it's time for them to play their role.
"Before I board Air Force One...get him! In addition, think of a way to explain to the public, I don't want to cause any unrest."
"Understood! We already have multiple plans."
Benjamin nodded, his staff was still very powerful. After all, he even changed the constitution and could be re-elected for multiple terms. Naturally, ambitious political elites would move closer to him. In order to appease the opposition party, there were even many members of other parties in his staff.
His ability is beyond doubt.
There are actually many ways for the United States to divert attention.
The simplest one is to expose a piece of heavy news...such as the scandals of some celebrities and some politicians.
Politicians' scandals are still relatively sensitive, but they can be released when the time comes.
The most cost-effective is actually celebrity scandals... Koreans are the best at this. Once there is a scandal to cover up, they will use celebrity scandals to cover it up. After all, celebrities have no status, but their influence is enough, and they are the most suitable to be shields.
If that doesn't work, they will stir up the international situation... Americans are the best at this!
In modern wars, you can find Americans in any war.
In short, there are many ways.
They are very experienced in this.
...
"Everyone, the time to test us has come. I just received a notice that an important mission has been issued... Very important, even related to the whole world!"
On the plane of Team X, 'Church', who replaced Frank as the head of Team X, stood in front of all the members and said very seriously.
"Wow! Those congressmen finally thought of us? Instead of leaving us in the base to continue training?" A black man joked. He is Lucas Bishop, a very special mutant. Bishop can absorb most types of energy, including magic, sound, light, psychic energy, spiritual energy, etc., whether it is the energy of the surrounding environment or the energy directed towards him.
In short, he is similar to Sebastian Shaw, the former head of the Hellfire Club, but the only difference from Sebastian Shaw is that Bishop will not release this energy... He can only absorb it, not release it. In the end, it was the US government that helped him come up with a solution and implanted a set of energy release devices in him. That thing is like a big gun... In fact, that thing was modified by the government using the laser weapons of the Chitauri, but Bishop was just used as an energy source.
"In fact, this is for your good!" The church is still very good to his subordinates. "You know, the last X-Team suffered heavy losses because of insufficient training and sudden participation in the action."
The last time Frank led the X-Team to fight the Hellfire Club, it was almost wiped out because of carelessness, and only the 'Beast' Henry Philip McCoy survived.
The beast is also sitting here now. When he heard Church talking about his comrades, he moved his body a little uncomfortably. The last time he dealt with Hellfire... It was a shadow on McCoy. If Kai hadn't come to the rescue in the end, he, Frank, and Church would have to explain.
It was also because of this that after the new team was established, the government was very cautious about the use of the team. They didn't want to give away all the mutants they had recruited with great difficulty in one battle. Even Benjamin was heartbroken after receiving this notice! There were not many mutants, and there were even fewer mutants suitable for fighting. There were even fewer mutants suitable for fighting and strong... All of them were given away in one battle... Benjamin almost thought that Frank and Church were racists who had played a dirty trick when performing the mission.
Finally, he was relieved when the investigation results came out. But the new team, it would be too much to do this again. Don't get any benefits at that time, and let the outside world think that the government deliberately harmed the mutants, that would be a loss!
Therefore, after the new team was established, they have been training in secret. Even if they carry out missions, they will only carry out missions with a higher safety factor to accumulate experience and confidence.
Counting it up, the new team has been established for three years. It's time to experience the real test!
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. This time, the mission we are going to deal with is."
Church waved his hand, and a virtual screen was projected.
There were four pictures on it, which were the murderers.
"Their information is in your personal terminal. I need you to read it carefully. I don't want to be caught off guard at that time."
Several people immediately began to look through the information about the murderers.
"Wow... these people actually escaped from Kai. Tough guy!" The person who spoke was called Bobby Drake, whose real name was Robert Louis Drake, codenamed Iceman! He was very young and had just graduated from high school. He was a New Yorker. When he was young, he had discovered that he could freeze the moisture in the air into ice. However, because he was afraid that it would be disadvantageous to him if others knew about it, only he and his parents knew about Bobby's ability.
Bobby was the kind of person who had a strong control over his abilities, so no one had discovered his specialness. Until one accident, Bobby and his girlfriend were bullied by a bully and his accomplices on their way home after watching a movie. In order to save his girlfriend, Bobby froze the bully.
This incident attracted the attention of the special department, and they originally wanted to take him in. Unfortunately, Bobby had not graduated from high school at that time and was a minor. According to the rules and regulations of the police station, he could not join the police force, and his parents were not very willing to let him join the police force because they did not want Bobby to be exposed.
Although the environment of mutants has improved a lot, the discrimination against mutants cannot be changed immediately.
The police force also respected the wishes of his family and did not force them... As a result, Team X did not follow the rules of martial ethics and directly used means to make Bobby's family agree to let him join the police force... After all, federal agencies are much more powerful than local agencies.
For this reason, Sage scolded the church a lot. Because it was the church who recruited Bobby personally.
Others had similar feelings.
After waiting for a while, the church waited until everyone had finished watching before saying: "Since you have all finished watching, then I will tell you the real mission!"
"The real mission?" A group of people looked at each other, isn't it to deal with the guy in the photo?
"I told you, this mission concerns the whole world, they...are not qualified!" Church sneered, "The mission I am going to talk about next will not be recorded in any file, even in electronic files. At the same time, after the mission is over, whether it is a success or a failure, you must keep it strictly confidential. Those who violate it...will be charged with treason!"
Everyone was shocked.
