Chapter 142 [Infiltrating the Soviet Union]
"Charles, President John F. Kennedy has promised me to face that the American political axe will join forces with the X-Men against the Black King Sebastian Shaw's brotherhood. We, the X-Men, will have a solid backing from now on. β
Tang Lang's voice was full of surprise.
"Don, did you and Revan meet President Kennedy? - Great! β
Charles was a staunch patriot, and he was pleasantly surprised that his X-Men were able to get the approval of US President John F. Kennedy.
Tang Lang nodded, "We met President Kennedy." It's in Marilyn Monroe's Bay Villa. β
"To be honest, I don't seem to have had close contact with President Kennedy. What do you think of him? Charles asked.
"He's a young president, I think, he's in his 40s. President Kennedy was wise and decisive, had a strong surname, never flinched, and was a man who could take on great things! He was a member of the fine Kennedy family. -- Although the Kennedy family is called the "family of sin" by some, this does not prevent President Kennedy from shining brightly. β
Tang Lang's words can be regarded as coming from his heart, and they are an intuitive feeling for President Kennedy.
"What about you?"
Charles looked at Raven again.
"From a woman's point of view," said Raven, the Demonic Woman, "I think this most powerful man in the world, with fluffy hair, soft eyes, and a gentle smile. As I approached him, I could feel an irrepressible allure to his female surname. No wonder Marilyn Monroe would surrender to his crotch! β
"President Kennedy will be one of the most outstanding presidents in American history." Charles also had a crush on John F. Kennedy, "When Kennedy was young, he was already known as Boston's Adonis (the beautiful boy of Greek mythology). Born into the wealthy Kennedy family, he was well educated from an early age and possessed the virtues to be a leader. The American people follow him, and the future will be bright. β
When Magneto saw Charles praising John F. Kennedy so hard, he couldn't help but say, "Politicians lie and even they believe it." Charles, don't be naΓ―ve. As the president of the United States, would Kennedy really have no wariness of us mutants? β
After listening to Magneto's words, Tang Lang was particularly concerned, he knew that Magneto Eric Lansel had begun to reveal his distrust of US President Kennedy.
"Erik, why do you think so?"
Charles was puzzled to see Magneto say such a thing in a cold manner.
Magneto said, "I just want to remind you not to put too much faith in the promises of politicians. Charles, we also have to watch out for Kennedy. What if one day in the future, he suddenly turns his face on all the mutants? When the time comes, it will be too late for us to regret it. β
"No, I'm sure President Kennedy wouldn't see mutants as aliens."
Charles wishfully believed that President Kennedy, who had a charismatic personality, would never suddenly turn a bad spell on mutants one day in the future.
"John Fitzgerald Kennedy was a strong sick man!"
Tang Lang said suddenly.
"Sick man?" Charles asked in surprise, "You mean President Kennedy was ill?" β
Tang Lang said silently: "I invaded President Kennedy's brain, he had scarlet fever before he was three years old, and he suffered from appendicitis, lymphadenitis, and asthma when he was a teenager. When he was 20 years old, he broke his spine during a soccer game. Since then, the pain in his back has been haunting him. Later, during an operation, he developed a severe staph infection that triggered Addison's disease. He had to swallow the drug 'cortisone' every day to keep himself from getting too tired and emaciated. β
Charles was surprised, "But people didn't know that President Kennedy was sick. β
Tang Lang said: "Kennedy forbade the people around him to divulge these secrets. Because he doesn't want the American people to think that he is vulnerable, someone who can't run the White House. β
"It's just a power-hungry man." Magneto said.
Mora McTagg said, "President Kennedy was still very popular with the American people. -- Okay, we're going to make sure we're going to the Soviet Union. β
Charles said: "You mean, not all of us went to the USSR? β
Mora McTag glanced at all of them, "Now, there are eight of us, and if you add the beasts, that's nine. If nine people went to the USSR together, wouldn't it be too ostentatious. β
"No," Charles said. I suggest that everyone participate in this operation, and take the opportunity to practice everyone's use of superpowers. Besides, nine isn't too many. Sebastian Shaw has been recruiting lately, and he doesn't know how many mutants are working for him. β
"Okay."
Maura McTag nodded.
β¦β¦
Mora McTagg, Professor X Charles, Magneto Eric, Tang Lang, Beast Hank McCoy, Raven Darkholm, Wolverine Logan, Shockwave Alex Sams, and Sonic Cassidy, a total of nine people participated in the operation.
Charles served as commander.
Mora McTag served as assistant to the commander.
The other seven served as team members, always under Charles's command.
They first met William Hillencott at a secret CIA base.
As the director of the CIA's secret research base, William Hillencott is hopeful for Charles' mutant team.
Before leaving, he said a lot of words of encouragement.
After that, a group of nine X-Men took a plane to Islamabad, the capital of Turkey. After that, with the help of agents from the local CIA's Islamabad sub-station, they were smuggled from the Black Sea to the Crimea on the territory of the USSR in one night on a local gang's boat.
Crimea is located on the shores of the Black Sea.
In the middle of a jungle, Mora McTag opened a map and looked at it.
She said to Tang Lang, Charles and his party: "According to the intelligence of the CIA, a few kilometers east from here, there is a beautiful palace called Lihuajiya Palace. It was the summer residence of Nicholas II, the last Tsar of Holy Russia. In the vicinity of the Livagya Palace, there are several villas, such as the Korez Villa and the Vorontsov Villa, which are now the preferred places for the cultivation of high-ranking Soviet military and political officials. β
Charles asked Mora McTagg, "What?" Are we going to Livajia Palace? Didn't Sebastian Shaw want to meet with Soviet Defense Minister Rodion Malinovsky in Moscow? β
"Shaw was indeed going to meet with the Soviet defense minister in Moscow." "However, the KGB officer who spoke with Shaw was prepared to invite him to enjoy the Black Sea." After that, they will leave for Moscow. β
Charles mused, "You mean, they might rest in their villas on the shores of the Black Sea at night. β
"Highly likely!"
"Let's go to Livajia Palace first." β
By this time, it was already dawn.
A group of nine people marched towards the east in the jungle against the rising sun.
They did not dare to walk blatantly on the road, but sneaked through the jungle not far from the main road.
After walking for a while, Tang Lang and Wolverine Logan, who felt keenly, felt the breath of someone moving not far in front of them almost at the same time.
"There's someone up ahead."
Tang Lang and Wolverine Logan whispered together.
Hearing the reminder from the two of them, all of them ducked down and hid in the jungle.
Tang Lang released his True Qi Sword, "That's it, let's wait here first." Wolverine and I went up to find the way. β
Charles and Maura McTag both nodded in agreement.
"Logan, go!"
Tang Lang greeted Wolverine Logan.
"Whew!"
Wolverine Logan also released six diamond spikes on his wrist, and the sharp edges were dazzling.
"Let's go!"
Tang Lang and Wolverine Logan bent their bodies and walked all the way.
True as a qi sword and diamond alloy spike opened the way in front, countless thorny shrubs broke at the touch, and there was no sound. It can be seen that the sharpness of these two weapons is outstanding.
The two of them ran forward for more than a thousand meters in the thorny jungle under the towering ancient trees, and finally saw a checkpoint similar to an outpost.
A room, a car, a few motorcycles, and seven or eight armed Soviet soldiers were patrolling back and forth in front of the barricades.
Wolverine Logan glanced at Tang Lang.
"Kill them!"
"No, Logan, we don't have to go to such trouble as killing."
"And what do you want to do?"
"Bypassing them is. Ahead should be the Livajia Palace. Naturally, it was heavily defended. We just burst in from where their defence was weak. β
Tang Lang looked carefully around the level again, and then dived back again with Wolverine Logan.
When Charles saw Tang Lang coming back, he hurriedly asked, "What's the situation ahead?" β
"It's just a barricade guarded by seven or eight Soviet soldiers." Tang Lang suggested again, "Let's go around next to them." β
Charles nodded, "Try not to startle the snake!" β
Maura McTag agrees.
So, the group of nine walked a few hundred meters deeper into the jungle, preparing to bypass the level in a roundabout way.
In the distance, they saw a three-story palace made of golden stone in the depths of the jungle, nestled in a wooded garden, facing the blue Black Sea.
Naturally, it is the Livagya Palace, located on the shores of the Black Sea.
