Chapter 565: 34. A new storm has appeared

War, which is the catalyst for the progress of human civilization. It generally contains disputes, differences, violence, slaughter, destruction, etc. It is a large collection of almost all derogatory words, and each time it follows this When the words appear, there will always be many, many bad things, but... still that sentence, you have to admit that after every war, civilization will be greatly improved no matter from all aspects.
It's ironic... no species in this world is better than us at studying ourselves. Such a violent and savage nature. After putting on the cloak of civilization, the world is dominated by the majestic and moral kindness. Side... It's ironic!
At this time, outside the borders of the United States and Mexico, 17 armored divisions, hundreds of thousands of troops already ready to go are waiting for the final order, only need to order from the Congress, they will cross the border, like a few Ten years ago, as they did, they drove the Mexicans further south. Of course, before that, it was necessary to make a perfect, highly enforceable strategic plan.
Fortunately, American politicians are still sober, and did not intend to use tactical nuclear weapons in the first wave of attacks.
But just when the newly established headquarters was busy making tactical plans and marching plans, an unexpected visitor arrived here.
The roar of the helicopter rang on the tarmac of the headquarters, led by the general "Thunderbolt" General Ross, who was just in place, and other commanders came here to welcome senior officials from Washington.
Yes, when the war was about to begin, the outstanding General Ross once again commanded, and there was nothing more joyous to the veteran than stepping on the battlefield, but after the observation team that came 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 complexion became ugly:
"How could you allow such a dangerous mutant to enter my headquarters?"
He said to the chief of the observation team, Shen Sheng, "I don't allow him to enter this military power!
The Chief of the Observer Mission was a high-powered member of Parliament. He glanced at General Rose, reached for the elegant gold-colored glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and said in a low voice:
"Professor Charles came with us as a representative of the moderate power of the mutant. If you do not allow him to enter here, I can only regret to leave with him. General Ross, you have to understand that at this time, such a war is waged. The pressure on Congress is great, 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, Your Excellency nodded: "Yes! Unless he is willing to abandon all prestige and most of his hard work, 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 observers. This old general who had emerged since the Vietnam War was not a person who cared about the red tape. In fact, he had a strong concept of time, so there was no What time was wasted, he brought these people into the conference room, where the general secretary had prepared a presentation document.
On a clear projection, Mexico’s tactical map projected very clearly, as well as the preliminary movements of the various legions. General Rose personally took the pointing stick and introduced the battle plan to everyone in front of him.
"This time we were instructed to go to Mexico to intervene. If we were given instructions to start the war, then the initial combat goal was to expel the mutant forces entrenched in northwestern Mexico, and then advance south along the Mexican plateau until the Mexican rule was restored. To the government in exile."
The indicator stick in General Rose's hand had a few points on the map. Since there were few experts, his account was very concise.
"To achieve this goal, frankly speaking, it is quite difficult to use the current military power!"
The old general Shen Sheng said: "According to the data we collected in the past 7 months, the enemy..."
Ross glanced at Professor Charles and changed his saying:
"Well, I mean, the fighting strength of the radical mutant group is very impressive. From the initial stage of scattered sand, after 2 months of training, they already have the average combat capability of the South American army, and considering that they have mastery This strange battle will only be more difficult. We expect that the first stage of the battle will take 1-2 months. We plan to use excessive firepower to destroy + occupy tactics, which requires more air power."
"I have a question, General."
The legislator does not seem to care about these strategies. He asked impatiently: "This time, the command given to you by Congress has been the largest military operation in the last 10 years. You just said that you need more power. I can tell you directly that this is not possible! The international situation is not stable, coupled with the increasing number of abnormal events in the world and more and more frequent, we cannot put our precious power on a border friction ."
"friction?"
General Rose’s voice sharply increased several times:
Do you call this border friction? The 3rd Army of the mutants of Mexico only needs three hours of rapid march to break through any place on the national border and fall within seven days. In one or two states, if they send their demon demon air force at the speed of those monsters, it will only take half a day to throw the bomb on the lawn in front of the White House!"
"You still call it border friction! This is war! Mr. Member, standing in front of you is a veteran who has participated in the Vietnam War, Gulf War, Afghanistan War, Iraq War, if you want to oppose me in this regard , Please tell me, how many soldiers have you seen in several wars? From the end of World War II to the present, this is the most terrible threat to our country in terms of geography!"
"A powerful military bloc composed of mutants is planning to build a country next to us, and our commander told me that this is just a border friction. Maybe Poland was thinking that way too! What was their result?"
General Ross's hot temper is undoubtedly displayed at this moment. In the face of his powerful aura, His Excellency was suddenly choked out of speech, and finally he could only throw a sentence:
"I will pass on 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 was sitting in a chair, feeling that he was capable of thinking. In a surge of special power, he said his true thoughts without hesitation. He said slowly: "Modern The rhythm of war has already become very fast. We are no longer the barbarians of the Middle Ages wielding swords and spears. In modern society, we have a more advanced decisive battlefield force. Now it is nothing more than whether you are willing to take it out. .. deterrence, or combat!"
"I never think that modern civilization needs victory through hand-to-hand combat. 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 from the land that they never belong to, yes, this is the war mode I imagined!"
The words of General Ross are full of war enthusiasts, but for veterans, such an idea is actually not too wrong. At least in his view, the threat of Mexican mutants has already exceeded theirs. Compatriots who keep their own lives in the country should be cleared as soon as possible.
"So, General Rose, what do you mean by "higher decisive power"?"
Professor Charles, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and General Ross subconsciously answered, but he was shocked and shut his mouth. He almost forgot just now. There is a mutant sitting here, but for the professor... Such measures cannot be kept confidential.
"Nuclear weapons, right?"
The professor shook his head, his face full of bitter smiles:
"Forty years ago, Eric and I stopped the violent 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 life of future generations...but look at us all. What is coming, today, 40 years later, a general proclaiming a free country is in front of me, threatening to wipe out my compatriots with nuclear weapons..."
He raised his head, his eyes sparkling with anger:
"This is the peace you promised to give us..."
"Professor Charles, calm down!"
Senator Sen felt something was wrong, he said loudly: "This is just an idea of ​​General Ross, it will not become a reality!"
"I am calm... Your Excellency, in fact, I am calmer than ever..."
Professor Charles put his hands on the armrests of the wheelchair. He whispered: "Someone once told me that I was too weak. I always dreamed that humans can 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 come."
He looked at General Rose and the soldiers who had drawn out their pistols in front of him. He said in a deep voice:
"But you! It is precisely because of you narrow racists that you have prevented the real arrival of peace time and time again. I can't 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 his psychic power swept across the barracks at this moment. All the people in front of him, including the members of Parliament, stood up like the walking dead with their souls drawn away. At this moment, tens of thousands of soldiers with 17 armored divisions on the entire front completely lost the ability to control their bodies. They could only face the desert behind and step into it step by step.
This scene is enough to numb anyone's scalp, and Professor Charles's power echoes in their hearts:
"Go back and tell you the President who was full of lies. Before I died, anyone who was conscientious about it would never want to enter the country of mutants!"
"It does not need a fence to protect civilians, it does not need war to maintain existence, and people living in it will no longer be expelled from the outside, and every mutant will enjoy his freedom... We welcome every pair Mutants hold people with goodwill into it, but not you!"
"Go back to tell you these militant soldiers, go back to tell the conspirators, this line under my feet is the limit of the last patience...If you think I am kidding, then you come! When the first nuclear weapon falls At that time, I will go to with you scum that wants to see the world burning!"
"Saibo left, then I, Charles Francis Xavier, I'm the next guardian of this mutant utopia! To destroy it, first go over my body... stride over!"
This picture and this announcement were sent back to Washington after 10 minutes, so the heated politicians discussed had to face up to a very embarrassing problem they are facing now. The disappearance of Cyber ​​is not a sign of mutant power. In fact, after Professor Charles finally made his decision, the power that occupied Mexico not only was not weakened, but under the radiation of the professor’s power, it became stronger.
Who can guarantee that the people closest to him will not be manipulated by spiritual forces?
In other words, until they find a way to truly restrain themselves, there is no way they can stop the mutants from continuing to squeeze together.
So on the plateau of Mexico, just before the winter that is not cold, a new storm has spread across this ancient land, new powers are being born, ancient powers are awakening, in this In the chaotic era that slowly opened the curtain, the most brilliant flash of light is coming.
