Marvel’s Speedsters

The affectionate embrace between Ross and the girls was faithfully recorded by nearby cameras and transmitted to tens of millions of TV viewers, and the audience at this moment included not only ordinary citizens and social elites, but also some real big names, such as the owner of the white sandstone building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., who patiently sat in the Oval Office to watch the live broadcast, then operated the remote control to pause the show and turned to look at his cabinet members.

“Very good, guys, this is another blow since I took office, who can tell me where the annual intelligence budget of 40 billion yuan is used by you, there is no informant beforehand, no warning, and the response is slow after the attack, can we only watch similar incidents happen again and again?” The president is a resolute middle-aged white man known for his calm and tough style, but now his words are full of sarcasm in anger, and he slaps his subordinates in the face like an invisible slap, making these ordinary and capable senior bureaucrats faceless.

Among the heads of several intelligence agencies, the CIA is responsible for finding targets around the world that may pose a threat to the United States, which has less responsibility, and S.H.I.E.L.D. and the FBI have overlapping responsibilities, but the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury is abroad, so the FBI director, who is mainly responsible for solving criminal cases and intelligence collection in China, has to come forward and explain.

“Your Excellency,” the head of the FBI coughed and handed over a document that had just been delivered, densely listing the course of the incident and the personal information of the suspect.

“As far as we know, this incident was caused by a normal commercial merger and acquisition activity…”, in his explanation, the details of the Green Goblin were pulled out little by little, physical enhancement potions, gliding wings, probing . The merger and acquisition of Soaerospace, the betrayal of the major shareholder… Everything was presented, even the files of those South American mercenaries were turned up.

“That’s all we know, Norman Osborne was found by New York police while fleeing after dangerously modifying himself to prevent the company from being acquired, murdering competitors and his board members. During the arrest operation, the special service team members led by New York Police Commissioner Stacy risked a huge amount of money. The danger hit the Green Goblin hard, but just when they were about to succeed, a man nicknamed Bullseye took the opportunity to assassinate the suspect, and he didn’t know where he went, and now we have issued a wanted warrant to the whole United States, Bullseye and other people involved. ”

“What is the origin of the bullseye?” The president frowned and flipped through the report, not being able to catch the main culprit made him not very satisfied.

“A killer, Kim and the former chief assassin, we are tracking down Osborne and Kim and their private relationship, but it is clear that he assassinated the Green Goblin for the revenge of his former employer. The preliminary autopsy report has come out and a dagger is stabbed directly through the optic nerve. Into the cranial cavity led to the death of the Green Goblin, and there were similar wounds on the bodies of other perpetrators at the scene, although there were no fingerprint clues, but this was Bullseye’s personal habit, according to the S.H.I.E.L.D. criminal database, Bullseye’s original name was Lester, who had worked for the CIA’s covert operations team in the Americas and had strong anti-detection capabilities. The head of the FBI looked expressionlessly at his colleagues who stood idly by and casually told an embarrassing secret.

The president ignored the open and dark fights below, dropped the materials and sank in.

“Although there are results, how are we going to explain them to the public?”

“The public doesn’t need the truth, they just need entertainment,” said the PR aide lost no time in standing up and making the final conclusion for the incident. “We can make Osborne, the public enemy of the country, give them a vent of anger, and a touching deed like Director Stacy to make them shed tears, which is enough for most of the people…”

“But after that?”

Before the staff could finish speaking, he was unceremoniously interrupted by a slightly chubby officer, a colonel specially designated by the president, a man about to enter old age, thinning hair, a somewhat scruffy appearance, and a pair of sharp eyes under his glasses staring at the White House think tank, making him a little cramped.

“Half a year ago, the Statue of Liberty collapsed, you said you need to be cautious, not long ago, the highway was blocked, you said you needed to investigate, today the super criminals openly stormed the crowd, you want to be perfunctory, you need to be cautious in handling domestic affairs, I can understand this concern, but please tell me, what if there is a similar incident tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and we are passive?”

No one can answer this question, and no one can take on such responsibility.

“Colonel Stryker, what is your opinion?” The president glanced at the faces of the two men and then asked.

“I think unprecedented risks are brewing! Think about it, Green Goblin, Lizardman, Spider-Man… Who has heard of these things before, but now that they are emerging one after another, can we make a judgment that with the development of technology, the probability of mutation is quietly increasing, and there are mutant organizations that threaten more, through the interrogation of criminals in the Liberty Island incident, we know that there is a mutant school in north-central New York, they recruit superpowers from all over the world, train them, and have advanced jet aircraft, such forces are more dangerous than Osborne, We must take precautions in advance so that we don’t get messed up like today! Stryker waved his hands excitedly and cried out.

“But the annual budget is running out, and we don’t have any extra money.” The financial adviser looked embarrassed.

“It doesn’t take much money.” Stryker said without looking back. “I’ve been researching mutants for decades, and we’ve been sustaining our research with meager grants, and now a little bit of investment can keep us going. Compared to national security, I don’t think this investment is much. ”

“So how are you going to solve it?” The security consultant asked.

“Rest assured, I will not start immediately, it will take some time to prepare before then, I will make plans steadily, confidentially, and resolutely until we achieve the goal we want, and leave no consequences.” Stryker stared at the president tightly, now waiting for his reply.

The president pondered for a moment, and Stryker’s words, though selfish, did tell him what he had to do before the next election to get voters back to him.

“Colonel, do you promise to act cautiously and effectively?” The president asked.

“I won’t let you see the corpse of a mutant child on the news at six in the morning.” Stryker replied.

So the president stood up, leaned forward and pressed his hands on the table, his eyes looking deeply at Stryker.

“What do you want?” He asked.

“Your authorization.” Stryker replied without hesitation.

***

Coming out of the president’s office, Stryker ignored the others and walked straight up to several senior officers who were talking, finding an army lieutenant general among them.

“General Ross?”

This General Ross, of course, has nothing to do with Ross, his name is Thaddeus E. Ross, an active-duty lieutenant general, is independently in charge of the Army’s secret research and development base, and his position in the military is quite detached.

“William Stryker?” The general turned sideways from the conversation with his colleagues and looked at the stocky colonel in a condescending manner, his expression somewhat cold.

“If you don’t fiddle with your dangerous deformed children, how can you care about me?”

The general’s tone was mocking, and Stryker could only choose patience.

“They are indeed deformed, but if they are well mastered, they can also be very sharp knives.”

“Yes?” Seeing that the general was noncommittal, Stryker did not intend to go around in circles with him again.

“I heard that Osborne’s body was taken by your people?”

“That’s right.” The general said nonchalantly. “That was recycling Army assets, and Osborne Industries had been helped by the Army, and now we have the power to demand the recovery of that part of the resources that were misused.”

“Then General, whether this part of the resources can be shared within the army, if we join forces, we can create a more stable and powerful force to deal with enemies at home and abroad.” Stryker suggested hopefully, but was immediately rejected.

“Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are both American companies, so why don’t they share recipes?” The general asked rhetorically that he was not the president of the coming term, and he did not intend to be involved with Stryker, a guy who had been a mercenary and had a stain on history.

“I think your strategic direction is wrong, and the target you want to hit is not the same as what the Army is trying to achieve, which is a fundamental mistake, so no matter what reason you find, as long as you continue to adhere to the wrong strategy and your goals until you unreservedly accept the supervision of the Department of Defense, my people will not cooperate with you.”

After General Ross finished speaking, he turned and left surrounded by his subordinates.

Watching the general’s back disappear into the corridor, Stryker’s eyes gradually cooled. Although he was authorized by the president, he did little to these high-ranking generals from prominent military families in the east. Compared to the lieutenant general with three silver stars on his shoulders, he can only wear a small silver eagle, which symbolizes the rank of colonel. And Stryker is close to 62 years old this year, and in a blink of an eye, he will be at the age of retirement, and his future is even more bleak than that of a general who is already a lieutenant general in his early fifties.

This gave him a sense of urgency to remind him that he had to reach his goals before leaving power.

“Mutants… I will find a way to deal with you. ”

Stryker thought, turning and disappearing at the other end of the hallway.
