Chapter 417 Saving Face
Everyone turned their heads subconsciously to look, only to see the Eagle Sauce Super Soldier standing straight on the ground, posture tall and upright, unharmed, not even a single breath out of rhythm!
It was as if it had just experienced a relaxed and comfortable daily training session.
Seeing this, everyone was pleasantly surprised and cheered with joy.
President Biden was full of praise, his eyes filled with appreciation and satisfaction, as he said loudly:
"Strength, speed, and defensive capabilities are all top-tier. This is undoubtedly our Eagle Sauce Super Soldier!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Professor Harry, a smile on his face, and praised him sincerely:
"Professor Harry, you have performed a meritorious service this time, a truly significant one!"
However, before Professor Harry could find the time to be modest, President Biden continued:
"However, I have one more question now. How many such powerful genetic soldiers can we cultivate?"
Professor Harry straightened his back slightly and answered with full confidence:
"Mr. President, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as you give me one month, I can cultivate at least one hundred enhanced soldiers."
"Very good!"
President Biden nodded with satisfaction and said decisively:
"Then I will secure that one month for you! It just so happens that we are preparing for an important matter that requires powerful combat support."
"In addition, let's name our Super Soldier 'Captain Eagle Sauce'. I hope they can be like a captain and lead us to defeat those monsters!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison, their voices loud and firm!
Afterwards, President Biden led the people away with heads held high.
Professor Harry respectfully watched him leave.
After President Biden and his group completely disappeared from view, Professor Harry slowly lowered his head to look at a tablet in his hand, which recorded detailed data on the superhumans.
Suddenly, he frowned, a flash of doubt in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"It seems one piece of data is not very stable…"
He pondered for a moment, then shook his head:
"Forget it, it shouldn't have much impact."
Having said that, he put the tablet away and turned to arrange the subsequent cultivation plan.
A month passed in a flash, like a white horse passing a crack in the wall.
However, the monsters to the north of Eagle Sauce were like a lit powder keg, becoming increasingly restless!
Fierce conflicts broke out from time to time along the border, with smoke filling the air and war raging.
President Biden sat in his spacious but oppressive office, his brows tightly locked, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
Placed before him was a list of fallen soldiers from a recent tragic conflict; each name was like a sharp blade, stinging his heart.
In this large-scale border raid launched by monsters, nearly two thousand Eagle Sauce soldiers fell on the battlefield forever!
Blood stained the earth, lives vanished in an instant, leaving behind only this paper full of sorrow and heaviness.
President Biden was filled with anger and frustration!
Not long ago, he had angrily sought out Mr. L to argue, wanting to demand an explanation!
He questioned why the other party was so ineffective in controlling the border.
However, Mr. L just found some far-fetched excuses to brush him off!
He shirked responsibility by saying that those monsters were brainless creatures, and they really couldn't control them.
Although President Biden was burning with rage, he also knew that the current situation was severe!
Now was not the time to completely break ties with the other party!
He could only swallow his anger and bear it.
The Secretary of State stood by, looking at the list of fallen soldiers, and was also quite angry:
"Mr. President, it is obvious that these guys are doing it on purpose!"
President Biden's eyes were as cold as a viper in winter, and he snorted coldly:
"Do you think I don't know they are doing it on purpose?"
"After our border line was drawn, everything was peaceful, but now, conflicts are frequent."
"It seems these monsters are no longer afraid of our leverage."
The Secretary of State was shocked upon hearing this:
"Are you saying they are no longer afraid of us using Nuclear Weapons?"
"How is that possible?"
President Biden looked heavy-hearted and said slowly:
"They are monsters, unknown aliens, nothing is impossible!"
As he spoke, he looked at the Secretary of State, his tone becoming increasingly serious, his eyes filled with deep anxiety!
"I'm afraid they will become more and more restless in the future. We must have more hole cards to stand firm in this chaotic world!"
Speaking of which, he seemed to suddenly remember something, staring sharply at the Secretary of State, and asked:
"Speaking of which, how did that matter I asked you to handle go?"
The Secretary of State sighed helplessly, his face full of frustration and helplessness!
"Mr. President, times have changed. Our status has been completely taken away by the Dragon Kingdom."
"We can no longer rely on our past glory to form alliances with those guys!"
It turned out that not long ago, facing the increasingly fierce counterattacks of the monsters, President Biden realized that simple nuclear deterrence was gradually losing its effect. In his anxiety, he asked the Secretary of State to contact more countries, especially those with Nuclear Weapons, attempting to assemble the Nuclear Weapons of all countries to create a new trump card for himself!
To maintain the current environment, which seemed stable but was actually tottering.
He thought that if his country's number of Nuclear Weapons was not enough, he would unite all countries except the Dragon Kingdom and use this massive nuclear power to deter the monsters.
As for why the Dragon Kingdom was excluded, it was because the Dragon Kingdom had developed rapidly in recent years and had become a faction of its own, simply not including them in their games.
However, his seemingly perfect plan had fallen through.
The Secretary of State continued:
"Now we have not only lost our say, but we are even labeled as disaster makers by some countries. It's good enough if we aren't hated by them!"
President Biden listened to these words, so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force!
"Don't these guys know that everything should be based on interests?"
"Cooperating with us to fight against the monsters is the most important thing!"
The Secretary of State shook his head helplessly again and said with a wry smile:
"Mr. President, you are overthinking it."
"We are not their best cooperation partner; the Dragon Kingdom is."
"According to our investigation, the Dragon Kingdom has exchanged Individual Mecha for a large amount of resources from various countries. Many countries now possess the Dragon Kingdom's mecha."
"They are no longer interested in cooperating with us."
President Biden widened his eyes, his face full of shock and disbelief, and asked loudly:
"Why don't I know about this?"
The Secretary of State explained softly:
"I only found out about it when I was discussing cooperation with them not long ago, and I was just about to tell you."
President Biden's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, as if he had grasped a straw of hope, and he said urgently:
"If that's the case, we can use our abundant resources to exchange for the Dragon Kingdom's mecha!"
However, soon, the smile that had just risen on his lips froze on his face.
The Secretary of State shrugged and said helplessly:
"Don't dream, Mr. President."
"Have you forgotten?"
"Our resources, in name, already all belong to the Dragon Kingdom."
"We have no choice but to admit it, and besides, they are now mining our resources without any scruples, and we haven't seen them give us any mecha."
President Biden was furious, banging the table with a loud "bang," scattering the files on the table, and his anger filled the entire office.
However, just at this desperate moment, some good news finally arrived.
Professor Harry rushed in, bringing him some exciting news!
"Mr. President, the Super Soldier legion is complete!"
"A full one hundred Captain Eagle Sauce, ready to serve the country at any time!"
Upon hearing this, President Biden was about to show a hint of joy, but before he could be happy, the Secretary of Defense ran over, looking panicked, and shouted loudly:
"It's bad, Mr. President, our border has been attacked by monsters again!"
When President Biden heard this news, he was stunned for a moment!
Then a sinister smile appeared on his face.
That smile carried a sense of madness and determination!:
"Good!"
"Very good, very good!"
"This is truly a god-given opportunity to show off!"
He seemed to have brewed a big plan in his heart.
"However, it would be boring if there were too few viewers."
He immediately ordered:
"Dispatch our Super Soldier legion to support the border and strike the monsters hard!"
"At the same time, start a global broadcast and let those guys who look down on us see how powerful our Eagle Sauce is!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of expectation.
Soon, the broadcast started.
