Chapter 486: Frustrated Sentinel Plan
When the dust settled, everyone looked around.
The camp had been destroyed by two robots, and the corpses of the American Green Beley and Vietnamese soldiers stationed here were scattered all over the place.
Li Nan tried to find the Major Stryker who was leading the team, but found that this treacherous guy had already taken advantage of the chaos and fled.
Escaping Stryker is definitely bad news for Li Nan who wants to keep his identity, but it is basically an impossible task to find someone in this dense tropical jungle.
Temporarily putting aside the worries in his heart, Li Nan woke up Colonel Bob, who had fainted and survived because of a blessing in disguise.
Colonel Bob couldn't help but look horrified when he saw the miserable scene around him, all his subordinates in the barracks were killed, and this is really a big culpability.
"Mr. Li, this... What's going on? ”
Pointing to the two huge robots that fell to the ground, Li Nan said, "Major Stryker you brought in, he commanded these two monsters to kill all of them. ”
"What?" Colonel Bob asked in disbelief.
Li Nan patted Bob on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, the robot still has the logo of the Trask Group on it, you can just report it to your superiors truthfully." ”
Colonel Bob came to inspect the wreckage of the robot, and sure enough, he found the logo of the Trask Group, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even so, Colonel Bob knew that the soldiers he led were all wiped out, and his military career was almost over.
Thinking of the relationship between Li Nan and General George, Colonel Bob hurriedly grabbed this life-saving straw: "Then Mr. Li, what else do you need me to do?" ”
Seeing that Bob really said as he predicted, Li Nan couldn't help but smile and said, "Well, there is indeed something that you need to do......
There are a lot of things that Li Nan needs Colonel Bob to do, first, to make him hide that he has been here, and secondly, to take the wreckage of a robot while reporting the toad, the tattooed boy, and the hedgehog man as killed.
After getting some promises from Li Nan, Colonel Bob readily agreed.
When Li Nan took Ruiwen and others to start returning on his private plane, Colonel Bob also reported the battle situation to the General Headquarters of the U.S. Army in Vietnam.
The current commander-in-chief of the U.S. Military Assistance Command in Vietnam, Mr. Ryton. General Abrams, furious when he learned of this, immediately lashed out at the politicians in Congress who were close to the Trask group.
General Wrightton, an old fox who fought in World War II, seemed to speak very politely, but after getting the promise of those in Congress to continue to support him, the matter was over.
At this time, Dr. Bolívar, the founder of the Trask Group, was lobbying the president and other senior officials in the White House.
The gods are fair in some ways, so there is a saying in China that 'what is lost in the east, and what is reaped in the West', and in the West there is a saying that 'God will open a window when he closes a door'.
Dr. Bolívar, who was born a dwarf, although he was sneered and discriminated against by many people since he was a child, he studied hard, and held doctoral titles in more than a dozen fields such as applied physics, physical theory, and genetics, and he single-handedly founded the Trask Group.
The Trask Group relied on the development and manufacture of prosthetics, industrial robots, and gradually became one of the top industrial groups in the United States.
Although Trask is a little worse than the military-industrial complex like Stark Industries and the Roxon Group, it is at least stronger than Pym Technologies.
After listening to Dr. Bolívar, who was sitting in the middle of the chamber, a presidential adviser sitting across from him, after receiving a hint from the president, shook his head and said: "Times are different now, and all defense spending has been made public, so we will not allocate funds for weapons that threaten the security of the people." ”
Another advisor also said, "Since mutants like you say are already living between us, it means that we can live in peace, and in fact the past decade has proven that they are not harmful. ”
The Vice President objected: "Please don't forget the events in Cuba in the Caribbean, the mutants that almost caused World War III!" ”
"It's just hearsay, and we don't have any evidence." The previous advisor retorted.
"Alright, alright!" The first president to sit on the throne stopped the two sides from continuing to argue, and he said in a loud voice: "The main enemy we in the United States now are the growing strength of China, and our old adversary, the Soviet Union. As for the few mutants, they are not in our consideration for the time being. ”
Dr. Bolívar looked at the politicians behind the long table, he knew that it was these people who ruled the whole of America and affected the situation in the world, but these stupid politicians could not see the great crisis hidden in the crowd, and he could not help but feel some sadness in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Vietnam War you started is on the verge of failure. And this time you will not face a war in a foreign land, but a war of extermination in our United States, and if you do not sponsor my Sentinel Project, then I can guarantee that you will be defeated twice in your life. ”
Bolívar's heart-wrenching words were very unkind, condemning almost everyone present, and the President of the United States immediately stood up and said unhappily: "I'm sorry Dr. Bolívar, your Sentinel plan will end here, adjourn the meeting!" ”
Not to mention Dr. Bolívar, who returned disappointed, but only Li Nan and his entourage, who had just returned to the United States.
Li Nan didn't have any scientific and technological talents in his hands, and although he had been friends with Howard and Carter for many years, his relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. had become more and more estranged over the years, so he didn't want to risk bothering them.
Regarding the matter of mutants, the only person Li Nan can trust is Professor Charles in New York, although this guy is a little ignorant of the weakness and virgin of the times, but he will never betray his race.
The private jet landed at the New York airport, and Li Nan asked his men to load the wreckage of the robots covered with canvas into several large trucks, and everyone went straight to Xavier's Talent School in the suburbs.
Today's Xavier Talent Junior School is completely different from what Li Nan has seen before, the rusty iron door is hung with a wooden sign that idlers are not allowed to enter, and the front of the door is covered with long weeds, and the original black school sign is lying in the grass.
After entering the school, the lawn was covered with wild grass and unbuilt trees, and the convoy crushed the fallen leaves all over the ground to the front of the main building.
After Li Nan got out of the car, he stood in front of the building with the demon girl and knocked on the antique wooden door.
The door was opened by Hank, who was a little more mature than he was back then, and this scientific genius who could turn into a beast had always been in love with the Demonic Girl, so when he saw the blue woman in front of him, his face was full of surprise.
