Chapter 473: General Stryker
"Congressman Kelly, you said you wanted to inform me about the future of the Republican Party, but my intelligence agent told me that nothing major happened today."
At the Washington Galte Hotel, a group of people are taking the elevator to the presidential suite on the top floor.
This group of people is clearly hierarchical, with two people, one fat and one thin, walking in the front, and four personal bodyguards behind them.
The fat one is none other than Congressman Kelly, who is controlled by Wang Xu, one of the three Republican parties.
The skinny one was called Priebas, and he was a thin middle-aged white man who looked relatively short, giving the illusion that he was always laughing.
But no one dared to despise him, because although Priebus did not hold a position in the government and only held the title of a member of Congress, he was one of the top leaders of the Republican Party and a strong contender for the next federal president.
"Priebus, we have been working together for so many years, when did we lie to you, come with me, you will know soon." Councillor Kelly smiled mysteriously, and the smiling Priebus shook his head slightly.
If it weren't for the fact that he is also a Republican bigwig, this election still needs Congressman Kelly's help, how could he come here in the middle of the night.
Escorted by the guards, Priebus and Kelly got off the elevator and headed all the way to the A1 Presidential Suite.
When he arrived at the door, Councilor Kelly took out his room card and said without raising his head: "I'll go in with Councilor Priebas, and you guys will stay at the door." ”
The four guards were all from Priebas, and they all looked at their boss in unison.
Priebus nodded slightly, he didn't think that Kelly would harm him, the political struggle in Meiguo was not cruel to the point that the same party had to fight in the same room.
What's more, in the next presidential election, he will represent the Republican Party in the election, which is a consensus formed within the party, strictly speaking, Congressman Kelly, who will not run, still needs his ally to seek benefits for himself, Congressman Kelly is crazy, and he will not dismantle his position at this time.
Crunch!!
"Let's go inside." The door opened, and Councillor Kelly pointed inside, motioning for Pribus to go in.
Priebus didn't hesitate, pushed open the door and walked in, and as soon as he entered, he heard Kelly's footsteps and the sound of the door locking.
"Kelly, what the hell are you looking for me, how did you make it mysterious?" Priebus was bewildered by Kelly and whispered, "You're not going to be kidding me, are you?" ”
"It's not Kelly looking for you, it's me..."
Without waiting for Kelly to answer, Wang Xu walked out of the bedroom with a wine glass.
With doubts in his eyes, Priebus looked Wang Xu up and down for a while, then turned his head to look at Kelly: "What's the matter?" ”
"Master..."In the astonished gaze of Prebas, Councilor Kelly stood on the ground with a big belly, and kissed Wang Xu's shoes.
Seeing this, Priebus knew that something was wrong, and while retreating again and again, he said in a loud voice: "Guard, guard? ”
There was no reaction outside the door, as if the senior DHS agents he had brought with him had become deaf and deaf with no ears to what was going on outside the window.
"Damn it!" Seeing that no one had come to save him, Priebus quickly turned around and hurriedly opened the door.
Pulling the door lock, Priebus pulled the door hard, but it couldn't be opened, as if someone had welded it to death from the outside.
"Help, help, come and protect me, you bastards!" Priebus slammed the door frantically, but he was still calm in response.
After a long while, Priebus finally understood that he couldn't run away, and he leaned against the door, raised his hands, and whispered, "Can we talk?" ”
"No, I don't."
Wang Xu shook his head slightly, drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp, and said, "Flash, Soul Snatcher Curse!" ”
Five days later...
Major General William Stryker, a prominent figure in the military's hawks, is known for his toughness on mutants, having held the rank of major in 1978 and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1981. In 1985, you came to the forefront of the military's top brass for handling terrorist hijackings, and in the same year you were promoted to colonel, where you were responsible for the X-Weapon program.
The plan was executed in 1985 and failed in 1987 with Wolverine's escape and left you silent for 13 years. In 2000, you were reactivated because of the mutant threat theory, and in 2001 you were promoted to Major General, responsible for the Mutant Supervision and Authority. ”
Two men sit opposite each other at an unnamed military base, and one of them, a young Asian government official, is flipping through the report in his hand.
Opposite the Asian youth was a middle-aged general in his fifties wearing a camouflage uniform.
Hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged general nodded slightly and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"First of all, General, I would like to congratulate you on your repeated requests, which have led Congress to approve the idea of reopening the X-weapon program after careful consideration. And I, on behalf of the Congress, will be your supervisor and assistant, and I am glad to meet you, I am a member of the House of Representatives, Wang Xu! ”
Wang Xu stood up and stretched out his hand to Stryker with a smile on his face.
Stryker didn't shake his hand, but frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Last week, Congress just rejected my application, are you sure you're not kidding?" ”
"General, times are different, last week is last week, this week is this week, the two are not the same. I'll also tell you a secret, I'm very energetic in Congress, and I've been instrumental in the relaunch of the Weapon X program. General, I think there will be a pleasant cooperation between us, and I appreciate your attitude towards mutants. ”
Wang Xu wants to use Stryker's hand to continuously bring mutants from the outside, so that he can use the mutants' genes to cultivate more super aliens.
However, he doesn't want to be the bad guy himself, but needs someone who hates mutants and has the ability to make knives.
Obviously, Stryker is such a person, his hawkish background, the rank of major general, and his ruthless style are all things that make Wang Xu take a fancy to him.
If you change to a moderate, where can you find a mutant test subject for him, you must know that mutants are not easy to find, and those guys are protected by X-Men.
"Am I the Director?" Stryker looked at the letter of appointment pushed by Wang Xu and did not sign it immediately.
Wang Xu nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Of course, but your actions must be supervised by the government, and the representative of the government is me." ”
"As a soldier, I don't like to be controlled by people."
"Then you have to get used to it, there is no reward without paying, I will not prevent you from arresting people, nor will I prevent you from sending mutants to the operating table, and it can protect you from the wind and rain in Congress. In exchange, you must tolerate my presence and, if necessary, even when necessary, tolerate me pointing fingers. ”
Wang Xu pointed to the letter of appointment, and walked out without looking back: "If you agree, you owe him, and if you don't agree, tear it up, I'll wait for you outside." ”
Stryker watched his back flicker, his gaze flickering, and finally fixed on the pen on the paper.
