The Washington Pentagon Special Military Court, this place is rarely used. Although this is also a military court, the military generally does not use this military court in the Pentagon. Because this military court is actually only for high-ranking generals within the military.
The United States has not dealt with generals of the rank of Brigadier General for a long time. After all, it is not the age of war. In the war years, generals sometimes need to stand in court to accept sanctions for their own arbitrariness or certain misconduct.
But by the time of peace, many things have been relaxed. As long as there is no irreparable error, the general senior general will not be sent back to the military court. Because this is too ugly for the military.
Admiral Ross, who presided over this military court trial, still remembers that it has been almost ten years since no senior officials above the Brigadier General were sent to the military court.
This time, the US government and the military called several generals with sufficient prestige within the army to form a review team. And used the military court in the Pentagon. Because some people have made mistakes that the entire government and military are not allowed to make.
It can even be said that in any dynasty, this person's mistakes were enough to send him to the guillotine. Because he did not mobilize a batch of troops without authorization from Congress and the military.
Nearly three hundred fully armed troops with weapons of mass destruction were sent to New York to carry out their missions. Their goal is to destroy the mutant school. The person who sent this unit was Major Stryker.
Everyone was thankful that Charles disbanded Xavier School of Genius early. This struck Stryker, and when he arrived, he faced an empty school. Everything inside has been evacuated, and all the information has been destroyed.
Stricker couldn't even find any information about the students in the school, which made him angry.
But other people felt very happy. If the mutant school was still running at the time, it is conceivable that Stryker would violently conflict with the X-Men.
No one can predict the consequences and aftermath of this conflict. If you think about it, 300 elite soldiers who are well-equipped and armed with big killers meet the same well-trained X-Men.
It is almost conceivable that there will be a fierce conflict between the two gangs. The intensity of the conflict may be equivalent to a low-intensity war!
A low-intensity war broke out in New York? ! Thinking about it makes people feel scared. The people will not care about the whole story, they will only know. A general attacked a mutant school with a group of soldiers.
How violent will this lead to? How does Congress and the White House want people to explain all this? Could you just tell everyone that this was done by a soldier privately!
Haha! If you really say this, the entire United States will panic. I am afraid that everyone will feel that Congress and the White House can no longer control the army. Being caught was enough to force the entire Congress to reorganize the president to step down.
And the reason why the general attacked the mutant school cannot be made public. Because his mutant experimental base was destroyed, he came to retaliate. How can this excuse come out? If the reason for this **** is disclosed, I am afraid that the situation facing the military and the government will be worse.
So, if the mutant school was not disbanded at the time, Charles and others were still inside the school. The last two gangs exploded in war. Then the US government and military responsible for the end have only one way to choose.
That is to do everything possible to cover everything Stryker did, and to save him! It has nothing to do with right or wrong, maybe you like it or not. Perhaps the government will settle accounts in the future, but there is no other choice at the moment, and this is the complexity of politics. Stryker had taken this into account, so he dared to arbitrarily adjust his troops without fear.
It is a pity that he did not count on Charles' decisiveness. Professor x thinks more deeply than he does. He wants to avoid the conflict between mutants and ordinary people from expanding. Once Magneto's plan begins, the mutant school is a target.
Without joining Magneto's team, Charles actually has only one way to go. That is to give up everything he did before, and put his years of hard work to the utmost.
And all this is in the calculation of Eric Magneto. The first thing he needs to do to remove Professor X's influence among mutants is to unplug the school!
It can be said that the whole incident can be said to be one link after another, in the scheming calculation of this complex event. Stryker, as an American general, may be very good, but it is far inferior to both Magneto and Professor X.
So all his plans failed, everything. It doesn't matter whether it's a bill promotion, or a subsequent attack on the mutant school. He lost, and now he still has to stand trial in this military court.
"The defendant, Major Stryker, was accused of mobilizing the army without permission on the evening of May 10. Is the defendant denying the crime?" General Ross read the crime briefly.
Privately dispatching soldiers is a felony, Congress, the White House, and the Pentagon. All three parties were determined to kill Stryker completely, and no one was pleading. This is an event related to the fundamental rights and dominance of this country.
So this court trial was just a walk through, it was for other generals. This is telling them what should be done and what cannot be done.
Stricker hung his head down, and he did not answer or refute. He knew that everything he said was useless, I am afraid that his crimes would have been settled internally.
Sure enough, General Ross did not care about Stryker's silence. He said arbitrarily: "Since the accused has committed a default crime, I will impose the following penalties on Stryker on behalf of the Pentagon and Congress."
"The accused Stryker, the crime of treason, terrorism, instigation and inhuman experimentation ..." General Ross read this, and Stryker didn't care what he was talking about, because everything was not important now.
"I am here to convict, former Major General Stryker is guilty. If you commit multiple crimes, Stryker will be sentenced to death. The death sentence is limited to 3 pm today at the Pentagon Military Court! Injection death!"
General Ross finished reading this paragraph and glanced at his watch. It was 2:45 in the afternoon. Only fifteen minutes to prepare for the death penalty. Regarding this Stryker's mistake, the White House and the military of the Congress did not show any sentiment at all. All they wanted was to be strict and strict.
He waved his hand and signaled that those who were already ready were ready to work.
"Is it true?" Stryker murmured in his heart, which in itself was the worst plan he had prepared. As a soldier, Stryker is not afraid of death, but he does not want to die like a prisoner.
When he was tied to the injection bed, his former colleagues looked quietly not far away. Watching the executioner take out the injection from the suitcase.
Prepare everything until injection of the injection into Stryker's vein. Then watched him stop his heartbeat. Everything went smoothly. Until the person responsible for transporting the body pulled Stryker's body away. General Rose looked at Stryker's body and shook his head before sighing.
……………………
Death by injection is not a painful thing, it is like giving you a tranquilizer. You will soon fall into a lethargic state, and your heartbeat and breathing will stop. You will not feel pain in this process.
Like Stryker, he didn't feel any pain of death at all. He felt like he was asleep, and then he woke up! Stricker opened his eyes suddenly, and a man in a white coat like a professor or doctor stood in front of him.
The doctor smiled and said, "You woke up earlier than I expected." The doctor stretched out his hand and seemed to shake hands with Stricker.
Stricker frowned at the doctor and said, "Who are you? Where is this place. I should be dead!"
"Ah!" The doctor suddenly realized that he only realized that he didn't introduce himself. There was still a smile on his lips: "General Stryker, don't panic too much. My father and you are old friends. If you haven't forgotten your old superior, the words of Prof. Tresco who like you!"
