"Having said that... we still have to be wary of this kind of technology!" Old Edward actually doesn't care much about the combat effectiveness of this thing. His real purpose is not to emphasize the dangers of the modified person. What he wants is:
"I think we have to restart the super soldier program!"
This is the typical thinking of the United States. Regardless of whether the other party's technology is of high value or not, I must have it anyway. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing if we, the great American, don't have the corresponding technology? And from the current point of view, the other party's super
Humanity's plan has been used in actual combat, so it is even more intolerable.
When it comes to the super human transformation plan, the United States is really full of tears.
Are there many such projects?
Of course there are many!
Since Captain America, the United States has been working hard to develop a new Captain America. But just like being possessed by an evil spirit, the United States’ super human experiments have never yielded good results. The only thing that stands out at this stage is the green
The giant...that's all, it was created by some strange combination of circumstances. At least so far, military scientists are still confused about how the Hulk was created, and they don't even understand the principle.
This is why the military must capture the Hulk.
The Hulk is not important. As a weapon, he is currently in an unqualified state. How can any weapon confront his own family before dealing with the enemy, but the principle of his production is very important. As long as you know the principle
, they can slowly improve until they reach a level that can be mass-produced and controlled.
Unfortunately, the military screwed up.
Not only did the Hulk cause havoc in Los Angeles, causing thousands of casualties, but an abomination also appeared!
That thing is more destructive than the Hulk.
Therefore, after the Battle of Los Angeles, Benjamin immediately ordered the military to suspend all similar experiments. If it were to happen again, the image of the military and the government would be completely unnecessary.
And there is nothing the military can do if they don't suspend it. It's not that they are really afraid of the president's order. The real reason is that the funding for these projects has been stopped. There is nothing I can do no matter how hard I think about it, there is no money these days and nothing can be done.
Edward is a typical soldier. Although he is not in the same faction as Rose, he has to do this kind of thing to fight for benefits for the military. Who calls him a soldier? To put it bluntly, old Edward
The reason why I came here to talk about rehabilitating people is to defraud the government of funds.
Old Edward's words made Kai look over.
Kai has no inherent prejudice against these so-called super soldier projects. What he really doesn't like is the way these people do things, such as Ross and Stryker.
Look what these guys have done.
"You actually plan to do these things again. Aren't the lessons learned before enough? The ruins in Los Angeles haven't been cleaned up yet!"
Facing Kai's choking, old Edward was as steady as an old dog: "The destruction was not all caused by those two big men. The real culprit is Ares, the God of War, right?"
"Then you should really thank Ares, otherwise, you guys will have to go home and eat yourselves!"
Old Edward smiled. He was not surprised when faced with Kai's accusation. He was familiar with Kai and knew that this guy had a rare sense of justice. Otherwise, he would not have beaten Rose like that and he would have been kicked out.
army.
This kind of character sounds like he has a strong sense of justice, but if he doesn't sound like it... he is just a reckless man.
Old Edward admitted that Kai was an extremely good soldier, even an absolutely good policeman, and a good person. However, Old Edward also felt extremely pity, and even a little contemptuous. Because Kai's untimely sense of justice made him
This is the only future he can have. Even if he had not been forced to retire, he would have been a soldier, not a general, for the rest of his life!
Soldiers only need to be able to fight, but generals need to know politics.
Was Patton able to fight at the beginning? But in the end, it was Eisenhower who was most respected.
this is the truth.
Kai is very good at fighting, yes. But he is just very good at fighting.
So in the face of Kai's accusations, old Edward pretended not to hear them. Firstly, Kai is such a person, a person with a strong sense of justice. This kind of person is destined not to like politicians. Secondly, what Kai said is very important to the government.
It doesn't matter. There are countless people outside who criticize the government every day.
Just look at Benjamin.
He did not object immediately like Kai, but was weighing the pros and cons.
Even the president cannot really act according to his own will. He does want to cut military spending, but that does not mean that he wants the United States to lag behind other countries in terms of military force.
This is the natural position that comes with being president.
Self-destruction of martial arts can happen in Europe, but it absolutely cannot happen in the United States.
"I need a detailed report, and regulation must be strengthened this time. Both Congress and the government need to have regulatory authority over these projects."
In the past, the super soldier project could be said to be in full bloom. Basically every major interest faction in the United States had its own project. The Navy had it, the Air Force had it, the Army had it, the CIA had it, and the Department of Homeland Security had it. In short, basically as long as there were conditions, these bureaucracies
They all do this, and many of them don’t know why.
In short, the government's supervision of these projects is very low, even to the point of getting out of control.
Relying on the major events in Los Angeles, the government finally had an excuse to halt all these projects.
Now if we want to open things up again, the president and the government can't let things go so easily.
Politics is the art of compromise.
Faced with the president's asking price, Edward, who represented the interests of the military, thought about it and decided to accept it.
After all, what was done before was indeed too much. It is impossible for people to want everything but not be willing to pay for anything.
Kai Leng watched the deal between them. He could do nothing about it. He had already expressed his attitude, but others didn't care. What could he do?
Kai is still very self-aware. He is not suitable to fight for power and profit with these political veterans. He does not have the talent.
"Mr. President!" At this time, the door to the ward was suddenly opened, and the president's temporary secretary broke in.
His behavior made everyone present frown.
But the secretary can't control that much.
"Mr. President, urgent news, the mayor of New York has just been assassinated!"
A group of people looked at the secretary in shock.
…
New York, the largest city in the United States and the fifth largest city in the world, is located on the northern east coast of the United States and in southeastern New York State. New York is one of the most famous cities in the world. It is the capital of international economy, finance, art, and media, and the seat of the United Nations headquarters.
New York City is also home to many world-class museums, galleries and performing arts competition venues, making it one of the cultural and entertainment centers of the Western Hemisphere. New York City is located in a metropolitan area with a population of 22 million, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world
——The heart of the greater New York metropolitan area. The city has five boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island. New York's gross regional product in 2003 was estimated to be
At $488.8 billion, it ranks first among all U.S. cities and ranks sixth if compared with U.S. states. If that were the GDP of a country, it would rank sixteenth in the world, surpassing Belgium ($433 billion) and accounting for 10% of U.S. GDP.
Ten percent!
At the same time, New York is also one of the industrial centers in the United States. Clothing, printing, cosmetics and other industries rank first in the country. Machine manufacturing, arms production, oil processing and food processing also occupy an important position. Most rivers in the city lead to the Atlantic Ocean, and the port is huge.
It has excellent equipment and does not freeze all year round. New York is also an important hub for railway transportation. The subway in New York is more than 1,000 kilometers long and is currently the longest and fastest subway transportation system in the world. New York has 3 international airports, among which the famous JFK International Airport
The airport is responsible for 50% of the country's import and export cargo air transport business and 35% of the international passenger transport business.
The Federal Reserve, Wall Street, the United Nations Headquarters, the New York Stock Exchange, and the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, these important institutions in the world's financial community are all in New York!
You can imagine how important this city is!
Therefore, the status of the mayor of New York is extremely important, but such a person was actually assassinated!
That's right, it's an assassination!
This made everyone present look at each other. They all wondered if the United States was cursed this year. First it was Los Angeles, then the White House, and now it’s New York’s turn?
"What happened? Why did William..."
William Worden, a Democrat. He is also a promising political star within the Democratic Party. He is also the Democratic Party's candidate for the next, um, next presidential election. His political stance is the same as Benjamin's, and he hopes to implement centrist economic policies.
and reformative social policies, and believes that the government should play a role in issues such as poverty reduction and social assistance.
"The New York government is in chaos right now, but according to some news... it seems to be related to the recent gang war..."
The secretary obviously knew something about the situation before.
Benjamin was confused...The gang war led to the murder of the New York mayor?
Are you kidding me?!
This is America, there is New York!
Not El Salvador or Colombia!
When did those gangsters dare to assassinate a politician, and the mayor of New York City?
"I don't want to hear these specious news, I want accurate news!"
Under Benjamin's roar, the secretary retreated in fear.
Benjamin is very angry now because he feels that the United States is losing control! He even lost his temper because of it. Benjamin’s external image has always been perfect, handsome, knowledgeable, and approachable. On social networks, you can often see the president acting like an ordinary person and interacting with the White House.
The clerk was joking. But now he could no longer maintain his image.
Edward and several soldiers looked at each other and decided to remain silent.
This is an internal matter, and the president does not need military personnel to give advice.
After a while, Benjamin calmed down and said apologetically to old Edward: "I'm sorry, everyone, I will wait for your report on the proposal just now. Edward, it looks like we have to work overtime today."
After saying that, Benjamin also said to Kai apologetically: "Excuse me, Kai, please help inform the attaché outside that I need the temporary cabinet to come here for a meeting!"
Edward Sr. is not a member of the cabinet, but now he is Benjamin's temporary cabinet. The other cabinet members are similar, with their deputies temporarily acting as responsibilities. After all, the shock bomb that Kay asked Duke to throw caused most of the cabinet masters to recuperate in the hospital.
.The soft killing ability of that thing is quite strong.
…
In the Donald Building in New York, an old white man with a ridiculous hairstyle jumped up excitedly after hearing that the mayor of New York was killed!
He saw an opportunity!
As his staff member and also his daughter, Eva had a bit of a headache.
"Ahem...Dad, if you really want to run for mayor at this time...you must put away your smile. You must act sad and angry now, so that you can be recognized by others."
"Oh, of course I know, after all, no one knows how to perform better than me! But now it's just you, I don't need to hide my thoughts!" The man with the ridiculous haircut waved his hands to express his excitement.
Donald, although this man is not a household name in the United States, he is definitely a celebrity.
He likes to be noticed, so he makes big news everywhere. Not to mention making him famous, many of his extreme views are praised by extreme right-wing groups who are dissatisfied with the current social situation.
So just over a year ago, he announced his candidacy for mayor of New York City, which he considered the beginning of his political career.
Even though he was already in his sixties at the time.
But the election campaign has begun.
Contrary to many people's expectations, his approval rating is not low.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But what should I say?
People chose him more for fun, no one really thought he could really be elected.
The result was just as everyone expected from the beginning, he failed.
But how to say it?
It's not a loss for him, after all, the attention has really increased.
Even the Republican Party is interested in letting him enter the party, and they are optimistic about his next term.
Although Donald said he would not admit defeat at all and felt that there was something wrong with the election, in fact he and his team were aiming at the next election. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a turn of events!
The mayor of New York City is pissed!
Although according to regulations, the mayor will be replaced by the next person in the order of power until the election starts again.
But this gives Donald the opportunity to contact the Republican Party to start the election early!
This is not difficult, it just needs to create controversy. After all, the person who has the power to take over as mayor does not have a high support rate!
"We are now immediately launching a public opinion offensive to describe the successor of the current mayor as the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, he is the biggest beneficiary! In short, we must make him stink! In addition, we must mobilize the parliament to hold early elections!"
Donald is very excited because no matter how you look at it, his approval rating is the highest.
"This is not enough, Dad." Eva quickly interrupted Donald's ecstasy: "We must come up with a strong governing platform, otherwise voters will not buy it."
Compared with her father, Eva is much more sober. Her father is now a funny character in the political arena. He does not have the political credibility to make voters really buy it. He only relies on the support of fans who just watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.
He cannot let his father really become the mayor of the most important city in the world!
"Yes, yes! We need a governing platform. So what should I do?"
Eva had already thought about it: "Tough! So many things have happened in the United States now, which makes many people feel insecure! So we must create a tough image! Let them know that choosing us means choosing safety!"
"What exactly?" This suggestion fit Donald's personality very well.
"The best excuse is now, the mayor of New York City has been killed!"
"You mean fighting gangs?"
"Not bad!" Eva nodded.
Donald was lost in thought, but shook his head: "Not enough!"
"What?" Eva didn't understand.
"If we want to fight, let's fight the biggest one - Kingpin!" Donald showed a confident smile!
