Marvel's Speedster

Not Violin and Ororo's private operations, the main battlefield of the joint forces has always been under the watchful eye of the rear command center, when the general received that his daughter Betty was successfully rescued, one of the main culprits was shot dead on the spot, and the other was also in the process of escaping After the news that he was brought back by Ross's subordinates and all other gangsters were arrested, he finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and embraced everyone in the command center, including George, on the spot.

Amidst the cheers, the general bit his cigar in his mouth, and with a bang, he opened a bottle of authentic California champagne with his own hands, and poured the amber, brass, and golden yellow intertwined liquid into the transparent glass, commanding The room smelled of fresh almonds and harvest time.

Without his ordering, the young people in the staff department have already started to sort out the information automatically, and make a combat report as soon as possible to report to the Pentagon, and then what awaits them will be a warm celebration.

It's no wonder they are so excited, it's really that the federal government has been lackluster in the battle against super abilities, and there is nothing worth mentioning.

According to past experience, if it is a low-level ability, a few policemen may be able to deal with it. In that case, the public will not care whether it is successful or not. But once the confrontation between ordinary people and the strong breaks out, don't even think about winning if you don't use special means, don't make preparations to cause a lot of casualties and even millions of dollars or even more money losses.

Since the loss of the moderate Mutant Academy, there is no check and balance, and the balance that was originally maintained has fallen sharply to the other end. This has become more and more obvious. Magneto and Speed ​​​​have never cared about the government's anger. Victor, the doomsday doctor Doom also dares to openly trample on the laws of the United States "Even this nascent hate organization dares to kidnap the Army for gangsters

belongs to.

Under such circumstances, sober-minded politicians and tycoons have to carefully consider the consequences before making a decision. They will think that even if they win, the subsequent series of reactions may lead to a surge in the federal government's fiscal deficit, or The relationship with the super world has deteriorated, so it is really good to be able to win by conventional means this time. It can be said to be a milestone victory, and its significance is comparable to the Battle of Saratoga in the War of Independence.

It is conceivable that this battle will open a new chapter for human society and superhumans. The military will repeatedly study every fragment of the whole process, learn useful experience from it, and find the right way to improve their combat effectiveness step by step. Those who want to despise the law and laugh at the system no longer have to face up to the existence of the United States and learn to respect the will of the government.

Although this battle is inseparable from the help of the watchers, and the power of the Mutant is unavoidable, the military's first war victory against a super-ability person is of great significance. It only needs to focus on the part that needs to be publicized, and other factors can be completely eliminated. Going out, I believe the mainstream media will be willing to cooperate with this point. After all, political correctness is a very important principle, and the front battle report also shows that ordinary soldiers are the main force in the battle. As long as some guys like the watchmen are properly added, fully armed The best soldiers can beat a powerful opponent~ all over the floor.

The general himself thought so, and when he got the report from the lieutenant colonel's special line, he was even more convinced of this view.

After all, human beings are the protagonists in this world, be it mutants or other superpowers, there may be a few individuals who are very strong in a certain historical period, but as a group

They have too many irreparable shortcomings, and they are far inferior to the prosperity and abundance of human society, let alone unifying opinions with concerted efforts.

Now the general has begun to fantasize about whether he should recruit several Mutant soldiers in the future. It seems that it is a good choice to hire super-ability warriors like Ross' watchman. Through this incident, it seems that Banner's ability is a bit monotonous, even if he finds the mystery of his body , The general feels that some auxiliary forces should also be added, like the guy mentioned by Spar who can search for microelectronic devices is very good.

Ability is not strong or weak, as long as it is easy to use----the general unconsciously formed such a point of view, and was full of interest.

Definitely, it is more important than those Mutant bodyguards, and it is a new drug from a cutting-edge laboratory. Ross is indeed a top-notch biologist. Such an invention is almost comparable to the super-soldier serum that created Captain America, but there is time. It is said that the longest maintenance time is no more than half an hour each time, and the production cost has not yet come down.

But no matter what, the general raised the importance of this young man to another level in his heart. If possible, he would like to have a good talk with Ross about future cooperation.

"It's not that simple." George disagreed.

"How do you say it?" the general asked while holding his glass.

After the previous incidents, their relationship has become more relaxed than before, and it is not as tense as before. At the moment, the two were chatting alone on the balcony, and the officers and police officers in the command center carefully avoided the two superiors.

"Do you know how much Ross spent on Watchmen?" George asked rhetorically.

"How much can there be, 50,000 to 200,000 per year?" The general laughed, guessing casually while drinking.

The previous number is the average annual salary of his commandos, which is not low compared to other troops in the army, and he has also tried every means to obtain benefits for his own people, which is why the general's subordinates are always loyal to him. one of the reasons.

The latter number is the annual salary of an Air Force flight member. The salary varies according to the military rank. The annual salary of an ordinary fighter flight member is about 220,000 to 250,000.

Based on today's income, an annual salary of 50,000 yuan can be said to be the threshold for entering the middle class, and more than 80,000 yuan can be said to be a wealthy class. In the general's mind, those retired non-commissioned officers with average Fighting Ability and desperate mutants are worth nothing. Probably higher than $200,000.

...ask for flowers...

But his views were ridiculed by the chief.

George has known Ross since his high school days, and his daughter is one of his girlfriends. It can be said that he is the outsider who knows the most about the laboratory. When Ross founded the Overwatch Company, he and Will introduced some of the retired military and police officers. His character and ability are all acceptable, and he definitely knows more about the Overwatch than the general.

He casually reported a number, and the general was taken aback.

"One hundred thousand per month?" The general couldn't help but exclaimed. The army has an army system. Even a man as brave as he is, it is impossible to casually increase the salary of his subordinates so much.

No army can afford that except for a billionaire like Ross.

"In addition to these, there are also various task rewards and benefits. Gwen and I have talked about many benefits of the laboratory, but I haven't figured out how many there are. George sighed. He was once scared by the treatment his daughter revealed. I realized that such a condition can only be achieved by a very small number of large profitable companies in North America. However, considering the semi-monopoly nature of the laboratory, it seems normal.

In just one year, the laboratory established by Ross has reached this point, and the Georges are often amazed when they mention it in private. If possible, they very much hope that their two sons can work in the laboratory like their sister in the future.

This number also completely defeated the general. He could not give such a high treatment like Ross in any case. Even if he could, it would be impossible to take care of the emotions of other subordinates.

Maybe he can hire some Mutants with very ordinary abilities... But what's the use of such guys? Reporting to the logistics department, and sending some guns and equipment, wouldn't it be more obedient than them? Salary?

The general smiled wryly, but he could only dispel the unrealistic fantasies in his heart.

Only a billionaire like Ross can afford this kind of extravagance. Anyway, with this cooperation as a basis, we can go through the employment process again when necessary. The general has a deep network in the Army, and Ross also has some connections in the Ministry of Defense. Coupled with Betty's connection, presumably there will be no resistance.

After thinking for a while, the general let go of his worries, and stood on the high balcony facing the bright spring city to drink and talk. Despite the pressure coming, I feel quite happy for a while.

Just when the general and the director were in a good mood, an unexpected guest came from the northwest and had just crossed the Manhattan River via the George Washington Bridge. .
