Chapter 170 Premonition

After Hodge came out of Robert, he wanted to do the people who had made his decisions, but then he thought that doing so would make his future life very difficult.

Because the person who initiated this incident was not the government, nor the military, but the ordinary people.

This is completely different from what Hodge had before, because the targets of his parents were part of the military and government, so even if Hodge took action, the government would be mute and could only follow him and try his best to help him clean up the mess.

After all, if this matter is revealed, the government's credibility will be reduced to a minimum, which will make most of the rich people in the upper class of the country give up their interests in this country and turn to other countries.

Because the government dares to attack people without restraint, these rich people will definitely not live in this country with peace of mind, because it is too dangerous. Who knows when the government will attack them?

Once this wealthy group leaves, it will be a disaster for this capitalist country, because the politicians in this country rely on the funding of a wealthy man to support their political careers.

To be honest, without the support of the rich, a politician's political career will almost end. This kind of thing is also effective even if it is placed on the president, because behind him, there is a bigger network of interests entangled. If this network is disrupted, then a president without money can do nothing.

Therefore, under the government's efforts to hide, Hodge's affairs were gradually forgotten, except for those who were directly hurt.

The reason for this incident was Parker and Tony. What they did had already made the public begin to doubt the need for superheroes, and this incident also allowed some people who had been hiding behind them to find an opportunity.

The incident this time had such a great impact, these people must have pushed them behind their backs. And their purpose... Hodge frowned and pondered for a moment, and his expression suddenly moved.

From beginning to end, Tony watched from the side, and did not take action, and saved many people, but they directly pointed the finger at Tony. Parker was rarely mentioned, which made Hodge feel a vague sense of an unusual aura in his heart.

With this uneasy mood, Hodge returned home, and what Hodge didn't know was that in the White House in Washington, Mr. President and his staff who had just cut off communication with Fury met with a guest alone.

In the spacious office, the floor is covered with precious carpets. The walls are as white as new, and two crossed American flags are placed in front of the brown desk.

A middle-aged man with a sharp-mouthed cheek and a sinister look was standing at the desk with his head held high and his chest held high. He was wearing a pair of thick-rimmed glasses and was short. The man put the folder in his hand at the president's desk and firmly said: "Mr. President, these people with superhuman power have caused too much damage to the city. They have not been professionally trained and are wild and difficult to tame. We should build our own strength."

If the Card King or the White Queen are here, you will definitely be extremely surprised. This man is the short man who held a meeting with them!

The president took the information, slowly opened it, and slowly started reading it.

The staff behind him sat quietly beside him, and they also had the same information. They frowned and sometimes hesitated when they looked at the information in their hands.

In the entire spacious office, except for the middle-aged man standing in the middle with a relaxed face, the others' faces were extremely solemn, because their next decision would change the entire United States!

"Do you have any opinions on restarting that plan?" After a long time, the president closed the file folder, rubbed his eyebrows, raised his eyes and looked at his staff, with a hesitation expression.

Some of them support their own consortiums, some give advice for themselves, and some are close to their faction personnel.

Hearing the president's words, everyone was silent, and the entire office was filled with depression, including the middle-aged man. He still looked relaxed on the surface, but his palms were unknowingly tightly, and his palms were already covered in sweat.

He was already nervous because the opinions of these staff members would determine his future plans!

His eyes passed by the contemplative faces of his aides over and over again, hoping to answer this question for them, but he knew that he could not be anxious, as being anxious would make these politicians confused.

"I object!"

Finally, after a long time, an aide spoke, but his words made the middle-aged man's heart fall into an ice cave. He looked at the aide in disbelief, his face unconsciously twitched and his teeth were clenched.

His words made the president and other staff members turn their attention to him, and the staff member enjoyed the feeling of being watched.

"Can you tell me the reason for your objection?" The president asked calmly with a flash of eyes.

The staff member sorted out his collar and explained without any haste: "First, his plan involves too much money. Second, the plan takes too long, ten or twenty years? I thought about it for so long, we have already come up with other countermeasures."

The words of this staff member made everyone nod their heads secretly, but what they agreed with was the first point: the funds are too large, who will come out? It is definitely not the President sitting on the chair, but himself!

Seeing that everyone showed their approval because of his words, the aide was happy and continued: "The most important thing is that we don't know whether the things you designed are effective for them. We must be clear that what we have to face is not one or two, but a huge number of superpowers. Without absolutely taking me before, violent means will only increase our losses!"

"So what do you think we should do?" asked an aide.

The spoken staff member smiled, "We control the media, do you know why the police can't catch Spider-Man?"

Looking at the surprised and puzzled faces of everyone, he talked: "Is he strong? No! Our police officers are all trained hard, and they are not bad."

"The most important reason is that Spider-Man is favored by the public. Our police officers are hindered when facing him. Because if Spider-Man is caught, they will be sprayed to death by the people's saliva."

"Our police officers will also be criticized by the public. These are not something police officers can bear, because none of them want to be attacked by strangers when they are on duty."

"And now!"

Suddenly, the voice of the aide became louder. He was passionate and as if he was giving a speech, saying loudly: "Now, we have no worries anymore, because they have ruined their reputation. They are now disgusted and despised by the people. What we have to do..."

"Just add a fire to it!"

The staff member's left hand made a blooming move in the air and ended his remarks. Looking at the thoughtful look of everyone, he smiled slightly, glanced at the short man with a blue face, showed a strange smile, and then quietly retreated to the back.

"I agree."

“I agree too”

“…”

After a while, as one of them spoke, everyone nodded and expressed their opinions. The president saw that his staff agreed and had plans in his heart.

"Sorry, everyone, we are targeting not only superheroes, but also mutants. They are always eyeing each other. We cannot place our own safety on others."

"So, I decided to start this plan." The president's words shocked everyone in an instant, but the man standing in front of him with a gray face gradually showed ecstasy.

He looked at his president with a little excitement and nodded heavily, "Please rest assured, Mr. President, the success of this plan will enable mankind to achieve true peace, because no one will be different from others!" The man's eyes were firm and his tone was strong.

"I will make people prepare the funds and related equipment, and I hope you don't let me down." The president glanced at the man deeply.

As the president finished his words, the rest of the meeting was about how to arrange funds and equipment, and these issues were basically subject to specialized personnel, so the meeting ended soon.

After coming out of the president's office, the short man walked out of the White House with a winning smile, proudly.

As he just walked out of the White House gate, a voice that bored him suddenly remembered, "Mr. Gray, can we talk?"

"Oh? What's wrong with you?" Gray frowned when he saw the visitor, with disgust on his face. If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have wasted so much time.

"Sorry, I'm very busy. If you have something to do, you can ask my secretary to make an appointment." Grey sorted out his suit and prepared to pass by him and leave directly.

"etc."

Just as he passed by this man, he reached out to stop him. Gray looked at the man with disdain and snorted coldly, "This is the White House, it's not a place where you are random. Please pay attention to your behavior. Unknown sir, I'm very busy."

"Of course I know what I'm doing, Mr. Trask." The man bent over slightly and said softly in Gray's ear.

When Gray heard the name, he was shocked. He stared at the man who was smiling at him in horror. He reached out to stroke his eyes and his arms were trembling.

Gray looked directly at the man, feeling a little nervous, and said vigilantly: "What do you... have to say to me?"

Seeing that Gray finally surrendered, the man smiled slightly and then slowly said in his ear with a lighter voice: "Long live Hydra..."

...

On the other hand, when Hodge returned home, Tony had already left. Although he wanted to tell Tony what he had just discovered, he had no clear evidence. After all, Tony's influence among Tony and Parker was already high, and it was understandable that the media looked at Tony, but Hodge felt something was wrong in his heart.

Thinking of this, Hodge shook his head. Don’t think too much about such a brain-damaging thing. When the soldiers come to block the water and soil, the other party will never be able to remove the earth.
