Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 53 Confrontation ([-])

Walking out of the White House, Jack looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds were gathering, as if reminding Jack that the future was not bright.

Although Jack had just managed to get the president by bluffing, it didn't give him much sense of accomplishment, and now he is far from the time to relax.

How confident he was when facing the president, how depressed Jack is now.

Dealing with Hardaway is not an easy task.

After all, they want the other party to take the initiative to take the blame!

Perhaps in the past, the American military has been blamed countless times, but Hardaway does not necessarily have to accept the blame arranged by Jack.

So Jack was ready to bleed.

The United States Department of Defense, also known as the Pentagon, was born during World War II.At that time, the American Army needed a new building in order to command the war that was sweeping the whole world, so it was ordered by President Roosevelt. After several years of construction, the building was erected.

Because the architectural form has five corners, it is called the Pentagon.

The Pentagon is located in the Arlington district on the Potomac River in the southwest of Washington, D.C., with a construction area of ​​60.8 square meters and 2.8 people working in it.

Mark drove the car to the Pentagon, and when Jack got out of the car, he found that Rhodes was already waiting here.

"I didn't make it clear on the phone. If you have anything to do, you must see General Hardaway. I must tell you that he is very busy. If it is a general matter, try not to bother him."

Jack's face became a little ugly, and every word in Rhodes' words showed the meaning of evasion.

Although Jack and Rhodes had a successful deal, Rhodes arranged for Frank to temporarily join Jack's team, which was regarded as repaying the favor, so this time the two sides had to go back to the original far point to start a new negotiation.

This is an American characteristic, one size fits all.

Jack considered it for a while, and explained,

"Frank helped me rescue a few friends. Human experiments were going on at the base, and we captured that place."

Rhodes was shocked, but it wasn't because of the mutant human experiments, he yelled out of control,

"You let Frank attack American overseas bases in Canada? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Jack heard this, looked at Rhodes coldly, and responded in a cold tone,
"Major Rhodes, you'd better take back your words!"

"I'm sorry, Jack, I was a little anxious just now, I take back my words and apologize to you."

Rhodes face changed, realizing that he had made a serious mistake.

Jack said with a cold face, "I hope this is the first and last time."

Rhodes nodded, seeing the awkward atmosphere, he quickly explained,
"Jack, you have to understand the tradition of the military. If something is exposed, it will be very bad for you."

"Thank you for your concern, take me to see General Hardaway." Jack sneered.

The American military is a force that cannot be ignored in the United States. Although they are basically used as the background or do not appear at all in the movies, the fact is that the US military is the most powerful violent organization on earth.

But the current situation is that the Pentagon does not take care.

As a person who wants to develop in the political world in the future, Jack does not advise the military, not to mention that he has long been prepared to trade items.

Northern Command Office.

Jack was led by Rhodes outside Hardaway's office.

As the chief of staff of the Northern Command, Hardaway will work at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado most of the time, but today he also has an office in the Pentagon, and he will return to the Pentagon to work for a few days every month.

And Jack's luck is very good, Hardaway happened to be in the Pentagon today.

The secretary who was guarding outside the office opened the door, and Jack finally saw the North American military boss.

This is a tall white old man, he is a little fat, there are few hairs left on his head, and his eyes are a little cloudy because of his age, but Jack will never underestimate this old man.

"Jack, I just received a call from Mr. President. He has told me everything. Now I am waiting for your explanation."

Jack secretly said fuck, Benjamin's movements are so fast, this must make his work more difficult.

But no matter how turbulent his heart was, Jack still maintained his composure on the face. He pulled the chair in front of the desk and sat down on it.

"Actually, I'm here to negotiate a deal."

"Deal?" Hardaway sneered, "What are you going to sell to make me forget your attack on the US military base."

Jack curled his lips secretly. The man in front of him is really an old fox. He only talked about the attack on the US military base, but he didn't talk about Stryker's human experiments. He obviously wanted to divide this matter into two.

"General, is Stryker's research authorized by the Pentagon?"

Hardaway asked in an anti-customer manner, "It doesn't matter if you have it or not. You attacked the US military base. I can arrest you for treason now!"

Seeing that the other party didn't play cards according to the routine and kept pulling on the US military base, Jack decided to go straight in.

"I have a brand-new design for a high-speed fighter. Its fastest speed is Mach 4, it can be lifted vertically, and it can carry 10 people for long-distance combat."

Hardaway's expression remained the same, he had known for a long time that Jack had this document in his hand.

In fact, after the last transaction was completed, military scientists had already analyzed that the vertical lifting technology did not exist independently, and Rhodes was also aware of this.

"The dignity of the American military cannot be replaced by anything," Hardaway said.

"What if we add a holographic simulation combat system?" Jack asked rhetorically.

Before the professor left for Canada, Jack had a secret conversation with him.

Both of them had a clear understanding of the consequences of attacking overseas bases, so the professor left Jack with all the information on the Blackbird fighter and the holographic simulation combat system.

Without these technologies, Jack would not have gone straight to the Pentagon and told the military that I sent people to destroy your base, which is no different from courting death.

The added chips obviously moved Hardaway, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth,
"How realistic can it be?"

"One hundred percent, it is indistinguishable from reality."

Out of curiosity, Jack once used the holographic simulation combat system, which was his real feeling at that time.

Hardaway obviously doesn't believe it. After all, this technology is too advanced, and it simply surpasses the current technology tree of the earth.

"You can ask Rhodes to try it with me." Jack found Hardaway's suspicion, and he continued.

Seeing what Jack said, Hardaway laughed loudly,
"I believe you, Mr. Jack, what do you need me to do for you?"

Jack was speechless for a while, these bosses really turned their heads like turning a book. They thought that the soldiers would be more straightforward, but they didn't expect it to be worse.

"The military has taken the initiative to recognize Stryker, to cooperate with the wave of public opinion that is about to start, and must guarantee that it will not conduct research on mutants in the future."

"I can only guarantee North America."

"Yes, the technical patent of the holographic simulation combat system will not be transferred. The military can only obtain this technology by purchasing it. In fact, it is currently impossible for you to make this technology. I can give you all the blueprints to try."

Hardaway smiled and said loudly, "Jack, you underestimate the military."

Jack shrugged nonchalantly.

The technology tree of the Marvel world is completely unreasonable. It is estimated that ordinary scientists will not be able to match the genius inspiration of Hank the Beast or Tony once in a lifetime.

So, in fact, Hardaway had a high opinion of the military.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
