Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

34. A new storm has appeared

War, this is the catalyst for the progress of human civilization. It generally encompasses disputes, disagreements, violence, massacre, destruction, etc. It is almost a collection of all derogatory words. Every time that word appears, there will always be many, many bad things. It’s the same thing, but again, you have to admit that after every war, civilization will be greatly improved in all aspects.

It's really ironic that no species in this world is better at studying how to kill itself than we are. The violent and barbaric nature, after putting on the cloak of civilization, dominates the world grandiosely. It is ironic to put kindness and morality on your lips. !

At this time, outside the borders of the United States and Mexico, 17 armored divisions and hundreds of thousands of armed forces are waiting for the final order. They only need to issue an order from Congress, and they will cross the border. As they did ten years ago, they drove the Mexicans further south. Of course, before that, it is necessary to make a comprehensive, highly executable strategic plan.

Fortunately, the minds of American politicians are still sober, and they did not intend to use tactical nuclear weapons in the first wave of attacks.

However, just as the newly established headquarters was busy making tactical plans and marching plans, an unexpected visitor arrived here.

The roar of the helicopter sounded on the tarmac of the command headquarters, headed by the "Thunderbolt" general Ross, who had just taken the command headquarters, and other commanders came here to greet senior officials from Washington.

Yes, when the war was about to begin, the outstandingly victorious General Ross was once again given command. There is nothing that makes this veteran feel more happy than stepping on the battlefield, but after the observation team filed out, Ross The general saw a person who shouldn't be here. When he saw Professor Charles being pushed out of the cabin by a wheelchair, General Ross's face became ugly:

"How could you allow such a dangerous mutant to enter my headquarters?"

He said in a deep voice to the officer of the observation mission: "I will not allow him to enter this military powerhouse!"

The leader of the observation mission was a high-ranking member of Parliament. He glanced at General Rose, reached out for elegant gold glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and replied in a low voice:

"Professor Charles came with us as a representative of a mutant gentle force. If you don't allow him to enter here, I can only regret to leave with him, General Rose, you have to understand that at this time, such a war is launched. , Congress is under great pressure, and we must come up with a suitable excuse for war."

"So, he is that war excuse? Can you guarantee that he can be trusted?"

General Rose asked, and the Honourable Member nodded: "Yes! Unless he is willing to abandon all prestige and most of his life's efforts, he is trustworthy."

The old general nodded reluctantly: "If this is the case, then come with me."

He turned around and walked into the conference room with the observer group. This old general who has emerged since the Vietnam War is not a person who cares about red tape. In fact, his concept of time is very strong, so there is no When wasting any time, he brought these people into the conference room, where the general’s secretary had already prepared a presentation.

On the clear projection, Mexico’s tactical map was projected very clearly, as well as the preliminary movements of the various legions. General Rose personally took the indicator pole and introduced the battle plan to everyone in front of him.

"This time we are ordered to go to Mexico for intervention operations. If we get instructions to start war, then the initial goal of the operation is to expel the mutant forces entrenched in northwestern Mexico, and then advance south along the Mexican plateau until the Mexican rule is restored. To the government in exile."

The indicator stick in General Rose's hand was standardized on the map. Since few experts came, his description was very concise and clear.

"To achieve this goal, frankly speaking, it is quite difficult with the current military strength!"

The old general said in a deep voice: "According to the data we have collected in the past 7 months, the enemy"

Rose glanced at Professor Charles, and changed his words:

"Well, what I mean is that the combat effectiveness of the radical mutant group is very impressive. From the initial stage of scattered sand, after two months of training, they already have the average combat capability of the South American army, and considering that they have control This battle will only be more difficult. We expect that the first phase of the battle will take 1-2 months. We plan to use excessive firepower projection to destroy + occupy tactics, which will require more air power."

"I have a question, General."

The congressman didn’t seem to care about these strategies. He asked impatiently: “The command given to you by Congress this time is the largest military operation in the past 10 years. You just said that you need more power. I can tell you directly, this is impossible! The international situation is not stable, and there are more and more abnormal events around the world at present, we cannot put our precious force on a border friction. ."

"friction?"

General Rose’s voice sharply increased several times: “You call this border friction? The Mexican Mutant Third Army can break through any part of the border within seven days after only 3 hours of rapid marching. In one or two states, if they send out their damn demon air force, at the speed of those monsters, it only takes half a day for them to throw bombs on the lawn in front of the White House!"

"You still call it border friction! This is war! Mr. Senator, standing in front of you is a veteran who has participated in the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, and the Iraq War. If you want to oppose me in this regard Please tell me how many wars you have participated in, how many soldiers have you seen? From the end of World War II to the present, this is the most terrifying threat to our country in terms of geography!"

"A powerful military group composed of mutants is planning to establish a country next to us, but our commander told me that this is just a border friction. Maybe Poland thought the same way back then! What was their result?"

General Rose’s fiery temper was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. In the face of his powerful aura, your congressman was choked to speak. In the end, he could only throw a word hard:

"I will convey your opinion to Congress, but I still insist on my opinion. You can't get more military support."

"I don't need so many soldiers!"

General Rose took a breath. After all, he was old. He sat in a chair and felt that his thoughts were well understood. In the surge of some special force, he spoke out his true inner thoughts without thinking. He said slowly: "Modern The pace of war has already become so fast. We are no longer the barbarians wielding swords and spears in the Middle Ages. In modern society, we have a more advanced decisive battlefield force. Now it is nothing more than whether you are willing to use it as a deterrent. , Or fighting!"

"I never think that modern civilization needs to win hand-to-hand combat. The times are advancing and civilization is developing. We can solve all this in a more relaxed way, before those dangerous mutants really make offensive moves. , Completely wipe them out of the land that does not belong to them, yes, this is the mode of war in my imagination!"

General Rose’s words are full of the meaning of a war fanatic, but for the veterans, this idea is not too big a mistake. At least in his opinion, the threat of the Mexican mutants has already exceeded theirs. The compatriots who are safe in the country should be eliminated as soon as possible.

"So, General Ross, what do you mean by "a higher decisive force"?"

Professor Charles, who had not spoken all the time, suddenly spoke. General Ross wanted to answer subconsciously, but he closed his mouth tightly. He almost forgot that there was still a mutant sitting here, but for the professor, such a measure There is no way to keep it secret.

"Nuclear, right?"

The professor shook his head with a wry smile on his face:

"Forty years ago, Eric and I prevented the immediate nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States in Cuba. We thought that we would be able to return to world peace and continue the stable lives of future generations. But look at what we have gotten. Today, 40 years later, a general who claimed to be a free country threatened to wipe out my countrymen with nuclear weapons in front of me.”

He raised his head, his eyes sparkling with anger:

"This is the peace you promised us"

"Professor Charles, calm down!"

Your Excellency Senator felt something was wrong, and he said loudly: "This is just an idea of ​​General Ross, and it will not become a reality!"

"I'm calm sir. Actually, I'm calmer than ever."

Professor Charles put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair, and he whispered: "Someone once told me that I was too weak. I always imagined that humans could sit down with mutants and have a good talk. We have the same appearance. We have the same soul. I always feel that there is nothing that cannot be resolved through peace talks. I have also seen scenes where ordinary people accept mutants. I stubbornly believe that peace will eventually come."

He looked at General Ross and the soldiers who had already pulled out the pistol in front of him. He said in a deep voice:

"But you! It is precisely because of you narrow racists that have prevented the true arrival of peace again and again. I cannot interfere with everyone's choice, but at least today I can stop you!"

"Go back! Go back to your country!"

Professor Charles raised his left hand, and the tyrannical psychic power swept across the entire barracks at this moment. Everyone in front of him, including the congressmen, stood up like a walking corpse whose soul had been taken away. , And the tens of thousands of soldiers with 17 armored divisions on the entire front completely lost the ability to control their bodies at this moment, and could only face the desert behind them and step into it step by step.

This scene is enough to make anyone's scalp numb, and Professor Charles's power echoes in their hearts:

"Go back and tell you the president who is full of lies. Before I die, anyone who is deliberately trying to test will never want to enter the country of mutants!"

"It doesn't need walls to protect civilians, it doesn't need wars to maintain its existence, and people living in it will no longer be expelled from appearances. Every mutant will enjoy the freedom of himself. We welcome everyone to embrace mutants. People with good intentions enter it, but not you!"

"Go back and tell you militant soldiers. Go back and tell the conspirators that this line under my feet is the limit of the last patience. If you think I'm joking, then you come! When the first nuclear weapon fell, I I will take all of you who want to see the world burn to hell!"

"Syber has left, then I, Charles Francis Xavier, I am the next guardian of this mutant utopia! If you want to destroy it, you must step over my corpse first!"

This picture and this announcement were sent back to Washington after 10 minutes, so the heated politicians in discussion had to face up to an embarrassing problem they are currently facing. The disappearance of Cyber ​​does not represent the power of mutants. In fact, after Professor Charles finally made his own decision, the power that occupies Mexico not only has not been weakened, but under the radiation of the professor's power, it has become even stronger.

Who can guarantee that the people closest to him will not be manipulated by spiritual power?

In other words, they couldn't stop the mutants from continuing to form a force until they found a way to truly restrain themselves.

Therefore, on the plateau of Mexico, just before the cold winter, a new storm has spread over this ancient land, new forces are being born, and ancient forces are awakening. In the chaotic era when the curtain is slowly opened, the most brilliant flash is coming.
