The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 148: The Military’s Dilemma

Washington, Pentagon.

Ever since Magneto's doomsday crisis ended, the military has been under tremendous pressure. Various accusations have come one after another, and all the generals are like a powder keg about to explode.

The air was filled with a depressing atmosphere. The staff were concentrating on completing their tasks. They even spoke and walked carefully and lightly, for fear of angering the generals and bringing punishment.

The generals' joint meeting has been going on for several days, and every time it's always so noisy that people are afraid that the people involved will start fighting.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. is becoming more and more powerful, and we must keep it in check! They even dared to interfere in the presidential election!" General Talbert bent his fingers and tapped hard on the table.

"How can we check and balance it? Compared to the super soldiers controlled by SHIELD, the current military's force is not worth mentioning!"

General Ross looked gloomy and said angrily:
"In this era full of super criminals, whoever possesses the strongest extraordinary combat power will have the greatest power! Times have changed! The era of money and power supremacy is over, and the next era is the arrival of the God era! Magneto is the God of the world!"

"What a joke! I will never admit that that kind of murderer is the god of the world!" another general shouted angrily.

"Does it matter whether you admit it or not? In fact, even if Clark Kent really appeared on Earth, he would not be used at will like in the comics! It is basically just a matter of time before he becomes someone like Magneto." Ross judged others by himself and did not trust Superman's self-control ability.

The general was irritated by Ross's words and retorted, "Don't praise him too much. If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have stopped his plan. He was stopped by that alien! Even if there is a god, he is just an evil god!"

"So, you plan to follow Zhan Liu? That's easy, you can just go to a martial arts gym and become his disciple!" Ross said sarcastically.

"Alright, alright! Stop arguing about these meaningless things!" The old general who presided over the meeting hurriedly tried to smooth things over, changed the subject, and asked, "We can't put all our hopes of force on those magnetic field warriors. Doesn't the military have any other forces to use?"

"Originally, there were some studies on super soldiers, but Zhan Liu showed up so suddenly that he raised the force level to an incredible level. The key is that it was completed so quickly! Even if other studies were successfully implemented, they would not be more powerful or more popular than magnetic field warriors."

When Talbert mentioned this matter, he felt his head swelling and could not help but stretch out his fingers and gently rub his forehead.

"What's the situation at Stark Group? Are there any new armors coming out?" the old general asked again.

"Before, there was a new strong magnetic armor 5.0, which can allow magnetic field warriors to reach the combat power of the th level, and it is also equipped with intelligent AI assistance, which greatly increases the combat power. It is said that it can also allow the armor to leave the body and fight independently, but it was destroyed by Magneto before it was tested."

The old general frowned and asked, "Have Tony Stark and Magneto ever fought?"

"I don't know when the fight took place, but Colonel Rhodes saw the remains of the armor. An armor made of ten kilograms of vibranium, no one except Magneto can break it, right?"

Magneto's speed is so fast that even satellites often lose track of his location, so the old general thought about it and put the matter out of his mind.

He extended his hand, motioning for Talbert to continue the introduction.

"However, due to the material problem, we have basically reached the limit of what can be manufactured at this stage. Don't expect the appearance of Strong Magnetic Armor 6.0 in the short term. Even if Mr. Stark designs it, it cannot be produced, let alone mass production."

The old general rubbed his hands on his face, cheered himself up, and ordered:
"Don't stop the mineral exploration team in Wakanda. Ask the major mining companies to send more people. The military can provide security services."

"So, Hammer Military... well, just pretend I didn't ask!" The old general swallowed the question he had asked. Everyone knew what level Hammer Military was at, so they didn't count on him at all. But to his surprise, there was actually a surprise.

One general said:
"Justin Hammer got a genius from somewhere, a guy named Ivan Vanko, who is reverse engineering Tony Stark's magnetic armor. It is said that he has made some progress. It may be difficult to surpass the original, but the low-end cheap version should be popular among the magnetic field warriors in the army."

"Well, finally some good news! What a surprise." Talbert shrugged and said self-deprecatingly.

"What about Trask's research results? Are there any samples?"

"Don't mention that rubbish! Guess what the core of his Sentinel robot needs?" A general sneered, "The genes of Mystique Raven. Yes, the Mystique Raven who is about to become the first queen of the mutant kingdom."

At this point, he slammed the table in anger and shouted, "That bastard! He didn't even say he wanted Magneto's genes! At least we got quite a bit of stock from Stryker!"

"Then give up! We can't provoke Magneto now. Until we have a way to fight Magneto, let's slow down the mutant affairs."

Talbot suddenly interrupted and asked, "How strong are the sentinel robots? Can they fight against the magnetic field warriors who are rotating the magnetic field fifty times?"

"His Sentinel robots were not designed for magnetic field warriors at all, but for mutants. I organized experts to conduct an evaluation. If it can be successful, the Sentinel robots can simulate the abilities of all mutants and can indeed crush all mutants... Of course, the premise is that the mutant is not a strong magnetic field manipulator."

Ross slammed the table and cursed, "Damn it! Mutants shouldn't have been allowed to learn such dangerous things in the first place!"

The general sitting next to him rolled his eyes at him and said sarcastically, "Can you control Zhan Liu? Or can you control the mutants?"

Ross groaned twice and stopped talking.

Talbot thought about it carefully and asked:

"Since the Sentinel robot can simulate the abilities of all mutants, can it also simulate the power of magnetic field rotation? If we add the AI ​​control of Tony Stark mentioned earlier, can we mass-produce Sentinel robots that can rotate magnetic fields?"

The general turned around and asked the staff behind him a few questions, then turned back and said, "No, to simulate all the abilities of mutants, you need the genes of Mystique Raven. But we don't have this gene now."

“No, no, no…” Talbert shook his head repeatedly. “We don’t need to simulate the abilities of all mutants. The new Sentinel robot only needs one ability, which is Magneto’s magnetic field control ability. Then, under the control of AI, it will become a magnetic field rotation robot!”

"This one……"

The general turned back to ask for advice again, then shook his head regretfully and said, "In theory, it should be possible, but there is still the same problem. The material of the robot is not good enough. Even if it becomes a magnetic field rotating robot, it can't withstand a few punches from Magneto."

"Don't we have the formula for Adelmanite?"

"But the cost of that thing is too high and the production volume is small."

"Now is not the time to consider costs. If the output is low, we can first use secondary adamantium alloy to make a sentinel magnetic field rotating robot and see the effect first!"
