"Congressman Kelly, you said you wanted to inform me about major events related to the future of the Republican Party, but my intelligence staff told me that nothing major happened today."
In the Garter Hotel in Washington, a group of people were taking the elevator toward the presidential suite on the top floor.
This group of people has a clear hierarchy. There are two people, one fat and one thin, at the front, and behind them are four personal bodyguards.
The fat one is none other than Congressman Kelly, one of the Big Three of the Republican Party, who is controlled by Wang Xu.
The thin one is named Priebus. He is a thin, middle-aged white man. He looks shorter and gives people the illusion that he is always smiling.
But no one dares to look down upon him, because although Priebus does not hold a position in a government agency and only holds the title of a member of Congress, he is 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 have we ever deceived you? Come with me. You will know soon." Congressman Kelly smiled mysteriously, and Priebus shook his head slightly as he smiled.
If he hadn't been a Republican leader and needed Congressman Kelly's efforts in this election, why would he have come here in the middle of the night?
Under the personal escort of security guards, Priebus and Kelly got off the elevator and headed toward the A1 presidential suite.
When he arrived at the door, Congressman Kelly took out the key card and said without raising his head: "Congressman Priebus and I will go in, and you guys will guard the door."
The four guards were all from Priebus, and upon hearing the sound, they all looked at their boss.
Priebus nodded slightly. He did not think Kelly would harm him. The political struggle in the United States was not so cruel that the same parties had to fight against each other.
What's more, in the next presidential election, he will represent the Republican Party. This is a consensus within the party. Strictly speaking, Congressman Kelly, who will not run for election, still needs his ally to solicit interests for himself. Congressman Kelly is crazy.
, and will not dismantle him at this time.
Crunch!!
"Let's go in." The door opened, and Congressman Kelly pointed inside, motioning for Priebus to go in first.
Priebus didn't hesitate, opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he heard Kelly's footsteps and the sound of the door being locked.
"Kelly, what on earth do you want to see me for, and why are you so mysterious?" Priebus was confused by Kelly and whispered: "You're not kidding me, are you?"
"It's not Kelly looking for you, it's me"
Before Kelly could answer, Wang Xu walked out of the bedroom holding a wine glass.
Priebus had doubts in his eyes. He looked Wang Xu up and down for a while, then turned to look at Kelly: "What's going on?"
"Master" Under the surprised gaze of Priebus, Congressman Kelly lay on the ground with his belly bulging, and kissed Wang Xu's shoes.
Seeing this, Priebus knew something was wrong. He stepped back and shouted loudly: "Guard, guard?"
There was no response outside the door, as if the senior agents of the Department of Homeland Security he had brought had become deaf and could not hear what was going on outside the window.
"Damn it!" Seeing that no one came to save him, Priebus turned around quickly and hurriedly opened the door.
After unlocking the door, Priebus tried hard to pull the door, but it could not be opened, as if it had been welded shut 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 while, Priebus finally realized that he couldn't run away. He leaned against the door, raised his hands, and whispered, "Can we talk?"
"unnecessary."
Wang Xu shook his head slightly, drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and said: "Twinkle, the soul-stealing curse!"
five days later
"Major General William Stryker, a representative of the military hawks, is known for his tough stance on mutants. He was responsible for the implementation of the military's plan to absorb mutants with the rank of major in 1978, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1981.
.In 1985, you came into the high-level view of the military for properly solving the terrorist hijacking incident. In the same year, you were promoted to colonel, responsible for presiding over the X weapons program.
The plan was implemented in 1985, but failed with the escape of Wolverine in 1987, leaving you dormant for 13 years. In 2000, because of the mutant threat theory, you were reactivated and promoted to major general in 2001.
Responsible for mutant supervision and administration."
In an unknown military base, two people were sitting opposite each other. One of them, a young Asian government official, was flipping through a report in his hand.
Opposite the Asian young man was a middle-aged general in his fifties wearing camouflage uniforms.
Hearing what the young man said, the middle-aged general nodded slightly and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"General, first of all, I want to congratulate you. Your repeated application has led Congress to approve the idea of restarting the X weapon program after careful consideration. And I, on behalf of Congress, will be your supervisor and assistant. I am very happy to meet you.
, I am a member of the House of Representatives, Wang Xu!”
Wang Xu stood up and reached out to Stryker with a smile on his face.
Stryker did not shake hands with him, but frowned slightly and asked: "Last week, Congress just rejected my application. Are you sure you are not joking?"
"General, times have changed. Last week was last week, and this week is this week. The two are not the same. And let me tell you a secret. I am very powerful in Congress. The reason why the X weapon program can be restarted is
I have made great efforts here. 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 help to continuously bring mutants from outside so that he can use mutant genes to cultivate more super aliens.
However, he didn't want to be the bad guy himself, but needed someone who hated mutants and had the ability to make a knife.
It was obvious that Stryker was such a person. His Eagle origin, rank of major general, and ruthless style were all things that caught Wang Xu's fancy.
If he were a moderate, where could he find mutant test subjects? You know, mutants are hard to find. Those guys are protected by the X-Men.
"Am I the supervisor?" Stryker looked at the appointment letter Wang Xu pushed over 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 others."
"Then you have to get used to it. If you don't pay, there will be no reward. I won't stop you from arresting people, nor will I stop you from sending mutants to the operating table. I can also protect you from wind and rain in Congress. In exchange,
You must tolerate my presence and even my dictation when necessary."
Wang Xu pointed at the appointment letter and walked out without looking back: "If you agree, you owe him. If you don't agree, tear it up. I'll wait for you outside."
Stryker watched his retreating figure, his eyes flickering, finally fixed on the pen on the document.
