Chapter 15: Unexpected Opponents
At this time, public opinion can no longer be described as an uproar, what is it like to pour a scoop of water in a boiling oil pot, and what is the mood of the people of North American Eagle.
They have been tossed by Hydra enough over the years, after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., almost everywhere there are Hydra people, even petty thieves will tattoo an octopus on their necks to show their identity, and there are all kinds of incidents made by these Nazi remnants.
Either today it was bombed, or yesterday it was looted, and the government set up a special unit to deal with these incidents, but the effect was not very satisfactory.
The people have long begun to miss the time when S.H.I.E.L.D. was still there, although everyone was kept in the dark, but the world was still peaceful, but now the days are too dangerous.
The government is not satisfactory either, they always ask for more funding, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has never seen funding, how can it be maintained, the people have long been disappointed in this government, many people say: "Forget it, they even tried the black president, what else can we do, or we choose a yellow man to go up?"
But Hydra really lives up to their slogan, one big boss after another has been caught over the years, and even a few are still taken by superheroes like the Avengers, but there will still be an endless stream of people standing up, trying to complete the cause that the previous generations of Hydra leaders have not completed.
Either exterminate such people, or exterminate such people, or simply exterminate everyone, and under the banner of "stupid earthlings, we are doing this for your good", I don't know what Hydra does with the earth, aren't they all human beings or earth humans?
Therefore, the people have more than hatred and disgust for Hydra, as long as they hear who Hydra is, they would rather kill it by mistake than let it go, since Teslak is so suspicious, then it is necessary to temporarily close the factory, stop all activities, and accept the joint review of the government, the military, and the people's representatives.
Of course, this is only the opinion of ordinary people, and their protests are just protests, but the calls for the government to make the investigation process and progress public are indeed getting stronger, and this kind of noisy public opinion is something that even the military has always been domineering has to pay attention to.
As for Teslak Industries, even if it does not stop working, it will not be able to work normally, and many workers working there have either taken leave or simply quit their jobs and jumped ship, and the leading enterprises have fallen into an embarrassing situation where no one is available in a short period of time.
As for the reasons for the resignation of these workers, an interview aired on the news clarified the thoughts of these ordinary people who were not taken seriously by Teslak: "Why quit? I don't want to work for terrorists, even if it's only a suspected hydra."
Before, I didn't know that Teslak had Hydra blood, so it was forgivable, but now that I know, how can I still work there, my son won't be able to hold his head up at school!"
Fortunately, Teslak Industries is a high-tech manufacturing enterprise, and the demand for workers is not so large.
However, this did not help Teslak's current predicament, as the contracts that had already been agreed were rushing to supply, because if they were not rushed, their deal would probably be dismissed by the public as "financing the Nazis".
At this time, Teslak's stock has plummeted, and it is useless for them to do everything they can, and the only way to break the situation is for the government to announce its support for Bolivar's Weapon X program, but the problem now is that the government does not dare.
The current public opinion is too turbulent, and the government at this time does not dare to openly contradict the public opinion, but there is no problem in doing some dirty transactions in private.
Regarding the X weapon program, the military and Teslak have a tacit understanding, that is, this plan must be carried out, the government cannot be defenseless in the face of the threat of mutants, they must have a lethal weapon in their hands to feel at ease, as long as there is no day, then the tragedy of the X weapon program will not stop for a day - in addition, the government calls this kind of thing a "limited sacrifice", as if these people lying on the experimental bench are great voluntary devotees.
This kind of thing is unreasonably expected, but now this kind of thing is not going well, because although there is no such material as the first two times, some unfavorable information about the government's decision-making is still exposed by the rising tide organization from time to time, which makes everything they do spread out and put it in the sun, and the people are more and more angry about their approach.
In the minutes of these meetings, which were exposed by the Rising Tide organization, the military discussed not investigating and ending these terrorist experiments, but finding ways to cover them up and plans to expand them.
They will rebuild a better large-scale experimental base somewhere else, during which Teslak will be ostensibly subject to government scrutiny, but in fact the purpose of the review is to remove all the experimental materials and "materials", and each part of the removal will be made public for the citizens to visit to prove their innocence.
It will also create some other focus in public opinion to divert attention, so that in about half a year or so, this matter will subside, and at this time the government will declare that Teslak is innocent, that he was framed, that there was never any X weapon program, and then everything will return to the way it was.
To the comfort of the population, there are still recorded disagreements with such a plan, General Thaddeus Ross, who was excluded from decision-making because of his opposition to the plan.
General Ross's resume was also excavated, and what the people didn't expect was that he was actually the founder of the Hulk, but General Ross's approach was accepted by the people, I don't know if it was because Hulk got into a fight, and I like to tear down the house.
The main reason is that there were no human experiments in the weapon program that General Ross was in charge of, the appearance of the Hulk was due to a radiation leak in the laboratory, and Bruce Banner was also unlucky, and judging from the initial state of the Hulk, General Ross did not do anything wrong, the only problem is that he always fails.
But now that Hulk is not only a member of the Avengers, but has also disappeared, his position is slowly recovering, after all, with General Ross's experience, he is the best choice in the military and the government to deal with those supernatural phenomena and creatures.
