Chapter 50: Stryker's New Plan
While the people of X Academy were rejoicing that the college had been rebuilt, Washington, on the far other side, welcomed an uninvited guest.
Washington, D.C., White House, Office of the President.
A short and fat man was sitting opposite the president, he was wearing a military uniform, but his expression was extremely solemn at the moment.
"Mr. President, I guarantee the feasibility of this plan, and I believe that this plan will solve the mutant crisis once and for all." The stocky man said that his tone trembled with excitement when he reached the key point.
This short and fat man is the American Colonel Stryker who was rescued by the magician in the dam base that day!
But the president opposite Stryker didn't buy it, and he said coldly: "Colonel Stryker, do you want me to remind you?" What did you promise me the last time I was attacked? ”
Stryker heard the president's provocative questioning and was silent for a moment.
The last time he attacked the president, he was originally a nightkin who was brainwashed by him, and that attack was all arranged by him, with the purpose of attacking X Academy in a straightforward manner.
However, the night he attacked X Academy, he found no trace of the Nightcrawler, and the mutant who could change shapes did not know where he went. But none of this matters, as long as he can control Professor X, then all the crises about mutants can be cleared, no matter the ends of the world, the Nightcrawler will be killed by Professor **.
But at the most critical moment when the plan was underway, the mutant named Lin Qi and Magneto appeared to change the original plan, and he not only lost the opportunity to destroy all the mutants, but also lost almost all of his cronies.
"Mr. President, please believe me, regarding the attacker, I only came close to catching him, but the mutants of the X Academy appeared and disrupted my plans, they are all those damn mutants, they don't have the interests of this country in their hearts at all, they only care about their own race, the existence of these mutants is an absolute outlier for us humans, and I propose to control them as soon as possible." Stryker sues first and gives a big hat to X Academy.
The president scoffed at his words, and he would not give a good look at such a person who could not do things.
The secretary of the White House brought two cups of coffee between them, and the president glanced at Stryker, who was sitting precariously, and his good mood suddenly vanished.
"Colonel Stryker, I gave you a chance and gave you special permission to attack a school, but you didn't take advantage of it, and instead you were beaten by the mutants in that school. Is this what we American servicemen are like? If war breaks out in the future, how can I trust you with the command of the war? The president was sarcastic, but in fact, it was Stryker who concealed what was going on inside the dam base, including the fact that his cronies had been wiped out, and the president didn't know about it.
When Stryker saw the president's face, he angrily wanted to slap the table and hit someone. He has lost so much, and he is still so cynical!
However, Stryker finally held back, after all, it was the president of the United States who stood in front of him.
After gathering some emotion, Stryker said again, "Mr. President, I really found a plan to eliminate the mutant crisis. If you have time to listen, I'm sure you'll be the first and only president who can peacefully resolve the mutant crisis and the American people will keep you in their hearts. ”
Stryker has a way to deal with these presidents who care about their approval ratings.
The president thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, picked up his coffee and asked, "Let's talk about your plan first, I won't let you take the army to any mutant school again." ”
"Yes, yes," Stryker said quickly, "My plan this time is to make mutants disappear from this world in the most peaceful way. ”
"Disappear? Do you want a secret massacre? Colonel Stryker, I'm not a three-year-old, and there's no such thing as a bloodless war. ”
"Of course I know that, but this time my plan is not to use force, but to use a very gentle approach. As you said, there is no bloodless war, but this time it is not war, but salvation. ”
The President of the United States glanced at Stryker playfully, and he knew that the man in front of him was the most advocating of force, and he was never a person who would save others.
Still, out of curiosity, the president motioned for Stryker to continue.
"I came up with a great idea to convert all mutants into humans, so there would be no mutant crisis." Stryker said seriously, but the president across from him almost sprayed the coffee he had just drunk on Stryker's face.
Convert all mutants into humans?
Isn't that a fantasy!
Studies have long shown that mutants are mutations in the X gene in humans, resulting in random variations. This kind of change in the genes of living organisms, judging from the current level of science and technology, is completely irreversible. Even in the future, hundreds of years from now, there are few possibilities.
"Are you kidding me? Colonel Stryker, you're a mutant expert, don't you know that the mutated X gene is irreversible? Isn't it a joke to turn mutants back into humans! The president was a little skeptical that the Stryker in front of him was a little insane after being defeated by a group of mutant students.
Stryker had expected the president to ask this question, so he took out a photo and put it in front of the president and said: "Mr. President, it's not impossible to make mutants turn back into humans, the child you are looking at now has the ability to suppress other mutants, and it is suppressed at the genetic level, that is, as long as his ability is used, mutants will also become ordinary people." ”
Use mutants against mutants, suppress abilities with abilities?
The president never imagined that Stryker would come up with such a seemingly very unreliable plan.
"Mr. President, please listen to me, as long as we can catch this child, then everything I just said will no longer be a dream." Stryker said.
The president looked at the picture for a long time, then asked, "Is it really possible?" ”
"Feasible."
The president put down the picture and walked a few steps around the Oval Office before saying, "Colonel Stryker, I can give you a second chance, but you have to let me assure me that it works." I want to see the conclusions and evaluations of the research, otherwise I wouldn't have given you this opportunity. ”
Findings and assessments?
That's so easy!
Stryker hurriedly said: "No problem president, I will definitely give you an assessment report." ”
Just as Stryker was about to turn around and leave the president's office, the president sitting on the sofa suddenly said, "I won't let you use any soldiers until you have an assessment report, do you understand?" ”
Stryker's face turned red, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand." ”
