Chapter 17 The reasons behind the hearing

"Hello, please introduce yourself, I am Army Colonel William Stryker"

"The great masters like William Stryker and the X-Men are also following the characteristics of mutants. It should be known to everyone in the city by now, right? Why haven't I heard about it?" Zhang Cheng was at a loss for a moment, feeling that something was out of control.

"Hello, Colonel William Stryker, why did you come to see me?" Zhang Cheng decided to explore the truth first.

"As far as we know, Mr. Zhang Cheng is not an ordinary person, right? He is currently working for S.H.I.E.L.D., is he interested in joining the military?" William Stryker asked.

"Can I know what you need me to do?" Zhang Cheng asked tentatively.

"For some unknown reasons, the number of special humans in the world has begun to increase. And the rate of increase is getting faster and faster. The Pentagon believes that this situation will cause serious harm to national security, so it authorized the military to establish a The special department is used for research and control. We hope to recruit some government figures with special abilities to join us to deal with those unstable special abilities," said William Stryker.

"Isn't SHIELD doing these things?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"As you know, S.H.I.E.L.D. is affiliated with the Security Council and is jointly managed by the five permanent members of the United Nations. It is a global department. We cannot rely on others for our safety. In the past, there were only a small number of special humans. Relying on S.H.I.E.L.D. Question. But now that the number of special humans is increasing, we still need a national department to manage it, don’t we?" said William Stryker.

"It seems that Nick Fury kept my identity confidential very well. At least the military didn't find anything wrong," Zhang Cheng thought.

Because if Zhang Cheng's file was not particularly innocent, it would be difficult for him as an Asian to gain the trust of the government or the military.Since William Stryker came to recruit him today, it proved that even the military and government had only found Zhang Cheng's forged files.

"So you didn't just invite me," Zhang Cheng said.

"Yes, we have a lot of personnel lists. But there are not many people we can trust. If Tony could provide his steel armor, we wouldn't have so much trouble. We have a lot of good guys in the military. But I don’t know what kind of illness he has got, but he doesn’t want to sell arms anymore,” William Stryker complained.

"Let me just say, although Tony's steel armor is a high-tech weapon, for the military, such an expensive personal toy is not worth the effort they put into it, even risking a rift with Tony by holding this hearing. . It turns out there is another reason." Zhang Cheng somewhat understood the government's eagerness.

After all, no matter how excellent your steel armor is, it was made with the help of the industry of this era, and it cannot go beyond that.The military has hundreds of ways to deal with you. If nothing else, the simplest way of arranging an anti-aircraft company is enough to make Tony drink.

Taking the Mark [-] as an example, it is not as fast as a fighter plane, its firepower cannot match artillery, and its concealment is not as good as a stealth fighter plane.The only thing worth mentioning is flexibility and armor.As a super expensive piece of equipment, there is no way to form a group-wide scale. For the military, this is a useless piece of equipment.It plays a very small role in group operations. It's better to have it, but it won't have any impact if it doesn't.The money to build a steel armor is not as practical as buying a few more fighter jets.

The equipment the military needs can either play a decisive role in the war or can be mass-produced.So Zhang Cheng never understood why the military was so eager to get Tony's steel armor, but he understood it after hearing William Stryker's words.

Times are changing, and ordinary people may not feel it.But as government personnel, human elites have already discovered it.As more and more special humans appear, the war situation will change in the future, and the role that ordinary people can play will become smaller and smaller.It is no longer the large-scale battles of the past, but a confrontation between a few strong ones.The victory or defeat of the two powerful parties determines the outcome of the war, just like in Avengers 3.No matter how many of Thanos' legions the Earth's forces destroy, as long as Thanos defeats the Avengers, they cannot change the outcome of the war.

This situation is not uncommon, and it is also faced by every cosmic civilization that leaves its home star.Just like in the super seminary, only civilizations with gods have the right to speak.Although the earth is weak, the earth with gods can negotiate with the top civilizations in the universe.Civilizations without gods are destroyed without a chance to express their opinions.

"Can you give me some time to think about it?" Zhang Cheng said.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Cheng. We welcome you to join us at any time," William Stryker said and walked out of the conference room.

Zhang Cheng also knew that today William Stryker was not simply inviting him, but also some routine from the military.It is impossible for them not to know the relationship between Zhang Cheng and Tony. William Stryker and Zhang Cheng talked so much today.It is likely that the military wanted to use this to explain to Tony why the military was so aggressive. After all, no one in the United States wanted to break up with capital.It's like giving a stick to a sweet date, telling Tony that we don't have no way to treat you, but we don't want to see things develop to that point.

"Hey, is this a game among the upper class? I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to participate." Zhang Cheng thought shamelessly, not caring at all that he was just a pawn to spread the word.

"But are there any mutants in this universe?"
