Chapter 19: William. Stryker, outcast?

This live broadcast, which was watched by more than 100 million people, was broadcast in Tony. Stark's fainting ends.

Just ten minutes after the live broadcast ended, people watching the live broadcast in all parts of country M had spontaneously organized themselves and started a huge demonstration.

The groups that joined the demonstration, including ordinary people and mutants, sincerely put aside their prejudices and came together side by side, becoming flesh and blood compatriots who shouted for a common goal.

Even, many police officers who watched the live broadcast joined the procession, they walked at the front of the procession, shouting hoarsely and loudly;

"Unleash the mutants! Thoroughly investigate the atrocities of the military! ”

"Unleash the mutants! Thoroughly investigate the atrocities of the military! ”

......

At the same time as a super-large-scale march broke out in various parts of country M, the aging defense secretary General Mattis had already gathered all the top military officials to study countermeasures.

This group of generals, who are usually high-minded, have all lost their calm demeanor at this time, and some guys who have ghosts in their hearts are even more obviously impatient.

They all know very well that once the top military officials are thoroughly investigated, those ugly things of corruption and perversion of the law are likely to be exposed, and at that time, no one will be able to save them.

In particular, several generals in charge of mutant-related affairs have blood on their hands, and if they have to be thoroughly investigated, they will definitely be sent to a military court and spend the rest of their lives in prison.

After a noisy shout, a gray-haired general said sharply: "Secretary Mattis, our Ministry of Defense has conscientiously carried out the important task of protecting the family and defending the country for so many years. ”

"Now, Tony. Stark, this stinky boy, is talking nonsense and calling us heinous dictators, this is a blatant slander, this is a deeply irresponsible slander! For this kind of guy who has ruined the reputation of the military of country M, I suggest that serious warnings and punishments must be given! ”

"We want this open-mouthed stinky boy to know that we are the protector of this country, and without us, country M is a lamb to be slaughtered!"

Suddenly, the old general's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

The generals spoke in droves, praising his statement, and proposing;

"Stark's attack on the military of country M is already a public provocation and slander of the military's authority, and he must be arrested immediately in order to deter those ignorant and stupid people."

Admiral Ross sat next to Secretary of Defense Mattis, watching everything in front of him with cold eyes and sneering in his heart.

"These stupid guys have been on top of the crowd for too long; In such a situation, he even wanted to arrest Tony. Stark, you're so ignorant and ignorant! ”

Admiral Rus, who has been on the front line for a long time and directs the battle, certainly does not be as stupid as these bureaucrats.

He deeply knows that it is not these military bigwigs who sit in the Ministry of Defense and talk loudly in the Ministry of Defense who defend country M, but the soldiers of country M who are fighting on the front line.

These soldiers are all from the ordinary people of country M, and now, even the vast number of people of country M are standing up angrily.

It's a fool's dream to go against the will of the people and arrest the boss of Stark Industries.

Sure enough, Secretary of Defense Admiral Mattis slapped the table hard and shouted loudly;

"Tony. Whether Stark is guilty of slandering the military of Country M or not is not up to us, what we need to discuss now is not how to retaliate, but how to get through the current difficulties! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired admiral who spoke first shouted;

"Mr. Minister! We're the top generals of the military of country M, Tony. Stark was lip-smacking during the livestream; He said that he would investigate us thoroughly, and he would investigate it; This is too child's play, when does our military need to obey the command of an ordinary person! ”

"Even if he is the boss of Stark Industries, so what, without our order, who will he sell the weapons he produces!"

"That's, that's it, Secretary Mattis, we must not bow our heads in the face of Stark's threats."

"Minister Mattis, we should strike back and capture Stark."

"Not only should we arrest him, we should also reduce Stark Industries' orders, and let this stinky boy know that our military is the real master of this country!"

......

In the midst of a quarrel, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Bell bell bell, bell bell bell ......"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on this black landline phone.

They all know that this phone number is a special line for Mr. President.

Now, the phone rings, indicating that the White House has made a decision.

Defense Secretary Mattis had a solemn expression, took a deep breath, and slowly lifted the microphone and put it to his ear under the joint gaze of more than a dozen generals.

At this moment, all the noisy generals closed their mouths nervously, they all knew that the moment to decide the fate of the military was coming.

This phone call was not too long, from beginning to end, I saw Secretary of Defense Mattis frowning and constantly nodding and replying;

"Yes...... Mr. President, you are right! ”

"Yes...... Be...... Rest assured, we will do just that! ”

"Yes...... Be...... We will work closely with the joint investigation team and ensure that we will give the people a satisfactory explanation! ”

"Release Tony immediately. Stark's bodyguards and arrested journalists? ”

"Good...... Good! Follow your orders, and I'll do it at once! ”

......

After a while, the phone hung up, Mattis let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples, and said helplessly: "Mr. President has issued an order instructing the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of the Interior to form a joint investigation team to investigate the issue of ultra vires law enforcement and abuse of mutants within the military. ”

Moreover, Mr. President personally called for Tony's immediate release. Stark's bodyguards and the arrested journalists. ”

Hearing such news, the white-haired general was still unconvinced, and as soon as he wanted to argue, Defense Secretary Mattis's sharp eyes glared at him.

In the face of the minister, who was holding back his anger and was about to go berserk, although the white-haired general was unwilling, he had no choice but to close his mouth.

After a pause and adjusting his emotions, Matisse continued: "In the next step, all mutants we have imprisoned who have not violated the law may be acquitted, and we must be prepared in advance. ”

"I order, hurry up and treat these imprisoned mutants, and in addition, temporarily close all mutant labs and research facilities."

"Also, order William, who is in charge of mutant affairs. Brigadier Stryker is reporting to the Ministry of Defense at once, and I want to hear his full report on mutant affairs over the years. ”

Hearing this, at the huge round table in the conference room, a group of military bigwigs who were carrying generals on their shoulders all looked at each other and remained silent.

How could they, who are so calculating, not hear, William. Stryker, the unlucky bastard, is going to be treated as an outcast by Secretary of Defense Mattis and thrown out to resist the thorough investigation of the joint investigation team.

Sacrificing a brigadier general in exchange for everyone's safety, this deal is really a good deal!

It's just that William, who is iron-blooded. Stryker, is he really willing to be an outcast?

The answer is unknown.
