Chapter 1005: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 550
He is not an elected president, but a procedural president, so if he wants to sit firmly in this position, he must fight for the votes of the people.
How did the former president come to power.
Let's put it this way.
It was by using the most severe terms to restrict mutants within the Federation after taking office that he won the votes to come to power.
So if Barron Turner wants to sit firmly in the position, the best way is also to use 'mutants' to make an article to fight for votes.
Especially the Pentagon's this time.
Barron Turner, who was participating in the video conference in the safe house, swept his gaze over the generals of the Pentagon who were attending the meeting on the big screen, and was a little moved.
Just...
"That Hawk Phoenix."
Barron Turner's mind flashed with the image of Hawk, who was like a god or a demon, breaking through the white building, and the image of him killing the predecessor like a dog on the side of the road. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "How much do we know about him."
"He is a mutant."
"But he has no reaction to the X-gene suppressor."
"Yes."
The African-American general met Barron Turner's gaze and said in a deep voice: "He is different from conventional mutants. He should be a physical-type Omega-level mutant. His body is his mutant ability. Because of this, our X-gene suppressor failed. As for what was said about coming from another universe, this may just be to deceive us."
As everyone knows.
People cannot understand and describe things outside of cognition.
African-Americans are even more so.
Barron Turner frowned upon hearing this: "But if this Hawk Phoenix comes again, what way do we have to deal with him?"
He knows what he is saying.
Barron Turner also knows very well what he promised Hawk.
But come on.
He is a politician, and an old-school politician at that. How does that saying go, when you stand in front of a door that you don't know what's going on, and there is a politician and a demon standing there.
You should believe the demon.
After all—
Compared with the promises of politicians, demons seem so honest and trustworthy.
The most important point.
Even if he didn't want to be enemies with Hawk, for the sake of votes, he had to make a gesture that he could not live in peace with mutants.
Obviously.
Compared to offending Hawk, Barron Turner was more afraid of offending votes.
So!
"Do we have any countermeasures?"
"Yes!"
"What?"
"Trask!"
"Who?"
Barron Turner frowned subconsciously when he heard this name, but he felt like he had heard it somewhere.
The next second.
He remembered who this person was.
"You mean Bolivar Trask?"
"Yes, Mr. President!"
The African-American general nodded and said in a deep voice: "Sir, it's time for us to restart the Sentinel Program."
Ten years ago, because Magneto Erik made a scene at the White House, the Sentinel Program was shelved, but Trask did not die. Instead, he had been living in a secret prison for the past ten years.
After all, although the President at the time announced reconciliation with mutants, the military always felt that maybe one day they would be able to use the 'Sentinel Program', so they secretly protected Trask.
Sure enough!
Now it's time to restart the 'Sentinel Program'.
Barron Turner was also stunned when he heard the Pentagon people say that Trask did not die. After all, he, like everyone else, thought Trask had died ten years ago.
However, besides being shocked that Trask did not die, he was more shocked by the 'Sentinel Program'.
"Arrest mutants."
"Analyze mutants."
"Eliminate mutants."
"Hiss!"
Barron Turner took a deep breath when he heard the Pentagon general talk about the 'Sentinel Program', and frowned slightly: "Generals, what we need is something that can protect us."
The African-American general said in a deep voice: "This is the weapon used to protect us."
Barron Turner frowned.
"But we have signed a memorandum of understanding with Professor X."
"The content of the memorandum is that mutants cannot attack humans for no reason. Now they have attacked us, not only destroyed all our nuclear weapons, but also paralyzed our military bases and the Pentagon."
The African-American slammed the table: "Mr. President, we can no longer sit and wait for death."
Although that memorandum of understanding not only had mutants not attacking humans for no reason, but also humans not attacking mutants for no reason.
But it's still that sentence.
The agreement signed by politicians is not as good as the mouths of politicians.
Barron Turner's expression was tangled.
Although he also felt that once the Sentinel Program was started, the next time mutants came to attack them, he would be able to get massive votes by relying on the Sentinel Program.
But...
Thinking is thinking, doing is doing. Acting is also the basic skill of a qualified politician.
He must show his entanglement with this plan. In case the plan fails, he can also blame the military, because this plan was forced to be agreed upon by him under the strong request of the military.
Barron Turner's expression was tangled, his gaze swept over the other generals on the big screen: "So, gentlemen, is this what you think too?"
The other generals responded one after another.
Barron Turner, seeing this, sighed helplessly, and then signed his name on the restart memorandum of the 'Sentinel Program' that the general who seemed to be prepared had placed in front of him.
Soon.
From the moment he signed his name, it meant that the 'Sentinel Program' that had been shelved ten years ago was announced to be restarted again.
At the same time.
In the underground prison of a military base in Texas.
Bolivar Trask, who was not tall but had a high heart, had been in this secret prison for ten years.
In these ten years, he didn't make noise, nor did he make trouble, but stayed in his small room, relying on pen and paper to continue to perfect his Sentinel Program.
Although his Sentinel was shelved, Bolivar Trask believed that as long as he didn't die, this plan would be restarted sooner or later.
Obviously.
It's today.
Bolivar Trask heard the footsteps that were different from usual. After jumping off the bed, his gaze met a soldier who walked to the door.
Four eyes met.
Bolivar Trask spoke first.
"Are you here to kill me?"
"No."
The soldier at the door said in a deep voice: "The general asked me to ask you, is your Sentinel Program sure that it can make us occupy an absolute upper hand in the war with mutants?"
Bolivar Trask laughed.
His gaze shifted and landed on the Sentinel drawing he had drawn with a pencil and pasted on the wall.
Bolivar Trask looked at the soldier at the door again.
"My Sentinel!"
"Is invincible!!"
