Chapter 595: Kennedy
U.S. military base in New York.
When General Wharton, the top military leader of the base, learned the news that all 17 of his fighters had been destroyed, he was still a little confused.
He sent fighter planes for less than half an hour, counting the time to chase the stolen transport plane, the two sides fought for less than ten minutes, but his troops could not even escape, they were all wiped out, and Wharton could not accept anything.
"Did the fighters set up an ambush?" Wharton suspects that it was all a trap that someone hijacked the transport plane to attract the base fighters into the encirclement.
"Was it Soviet warplanes that shot us down?" Wharton asked his subordinates.
"Sir, according to the information that the pilot sent back before he died, was it a person who shot them down?" It took a lot of courage for Captain David to say this.
"Soldier, are you kidding me?" Wharton's eyes widened, his chest heaving like a blower.
"Sir, this is a message from five pilots at the same time, absolutely yes!" Captain David was sure.
"You mean, one person, at an altitude of 1,000 meters, shot down 17 of the latest fighter planes worth millions of dollars by our US military!"
Wharton was almost out of words.
"Yes, sir!" Casey didn't believe it was such an outrageous thing, but he had to believe it.
"Bastard!" Wharton angrily slapped the table and yelled at Davy.
"Captain David, are you talking to me about myths?"
"Could it be that God destroyed my fighter!"
The surrounding soldiers looked at the angry Wharton, and they didn't dare to breathe, they had seen too many myths on this day.
First, the Northern Thunderbolt appeared alone on the roof of the Empire State Building, and then disappeared in plain sight.
At night, Magneto and North Thunder teamed up to make trouble in New York, not only almost overturning the New York police, but even turning the troops sent to support them into a joke.
Then the military base was invaded by unknown persons, and everyone, including General Wharton, lost consciousness as if they were enchanted.
Professor X, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Northern Thunderbolt broke into the strongest garrison military base one after another, as if they were going to a public toilet at will, making Wharton and the American soldiers ashamed of themselves.
Wharton is already one head and two big, so how can he report to his superiors?
Soon a phone call solved his dilemma.
The call came from the Oval Office of the White House, the Supreme Military Commander of the United States, US President John F. Kennedy.
"The matter of the base is classified as top secret, and everyone who knows about it must be tested by psychologists, including you!"
The president's order was clear and clear, but General Wharton listened to it in a fog.
"What to do with those who hijack the plane!"
After two seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, he said again: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will send a commissioner to take care of it!"
"Yes, sir!" After Wharton put down the phone, he gathered the people who had been controlled by Professor ** and waited for the president to send someone to deal with it.
After U.S. President John F. Kennedy hung up the phone, he said to two people in his office.
"Deal with the effects of the mutants in New York now!" Kennedy said solemnly:
"I don't want tomorrow's newspaper headlines to be mutants!"
After Tom, the chief of staff of the president, nodded yes, he left the president's office and contacted the media he was familiar with, wanting to suppress the news of the North Thunder group.
Secretary of State Gerald Ford did not leave the president's office, knowing that the president had something to order.
Kennedy leaned back in his chair and found a comfortable position to close his eyes for a moment before suddenly asking the Secretary of State.
"Is there a way to take over the task of capturing mutants on our own?"
Although he is the supreme commander of the United States, Kennedy is not the emperor of the soil, so he can't cover the sky with one hand, and after S.H.I.E.L.D. took over the task of capturing the Northern Thunder group before, he couldn't interfere.
"Your Excellency the President, this matter shouldn't be difficult, but are you trying to capture this group of mutants?" The Secretary of State's words were strange, but Kennedy knew what he meant.
"I know that I can't fool you, can I put this matter to rest? I don't want this group of mutants to be caught, after all, they are our compatriots!"
According to Kennedy's words, the president and secretary of state of the United States turned out to be mutants, and if this news was revealed, it would be enough to cause an earthquake in American political circles.
"It's hard, but I'll do my best, mainly depending on the attitude of the group!" The Secretary of State said sternly.
"Judging from the incident in New York, these mutants are not the ones who are content with peace!"
The president flipped through the folders on his desk, and there were details of the North Thunderbolt havoc in New York.
"In this incident, the United States lost 165 soldiers, 24 policemen, countless military equipment, and direct economic losses of about 60 million, not counting the losses in the US military base!" Kennedy was speechless.
"These compatriots can really make trouble!"
The secretary of state did not hear the slightest complaint from the president, but a little excitement.
As a mutant president, Kennedy has always hidden his true identity and is eager to declare his mutant identity to the mass media, but unfortunately this is only delusional.
Even in the world fifty years later, no politician would dare to say to the masses that he is a mutant.
"The cause of this incident is the Cuban crisis, and I have ascertained that the initiator of everything is the Hellfire Club, and it is precisely because this group of people wants to stop him that they will suffer from this unjustified disaster, and finally develop into violent resistance."
Kennedy fell silent.
"Our warship has already arrived in the Caribbean!"
The Secretary of State nodded and said, "Yes, the Soviet warships have also arrived, and now they are in a state of confrontation, just waiting for the order of the top military commanders of the two countries!"
"Contact me Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, even if there is a glimmer of hope, we can't let a nuclear war start!"
The Cuban crisis originated in the Cuban People's Revolution in 1959, when the new government overthrew the old dictatorship and led to changes in the diplomacy of Cuba and the United States.
The United States, fearing that the Cuban regime, under the influence of radicals, would shake its rule in Latin America, unilaterally announced the severance of diplomatic relations and imposed an economic blockade.
On April 15, 1961, under the planning of the United States, Cuban exiles flew B-26 bombers to bomb Cuba for two days, and more than 1,000 mercenaries landed in the Bay of Pigs, Cuba, in a vain attempt to invade Cuba and violently overthrow the Castro government.
Under the pressure of the strong military power of the United States, the Cuban government turned to the Soviet Union for help.
Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev wanted to extend the influence of the Soviet Union to Latin America, and immediately decided to support Cuba militarily against the American army.
A large number of Soviet missiles were shipped to Cuba, which completely touched the nerves of the US government, and the incident gradually fermented, turning into a battle between two naval fleets equipped with nuclear bombs between the United States and the Soviet Union.
There seems to be an invisible hand behind the Cuban incident, and in just a few months, it has turned into a game between two great powers, and now the situation is on the verge of eruption.
Although the United States was the first to provoke the incident, this is not what Kennedy wanted to see, and now he is trying to find a way to put an end to the farce.
