070 Hearing 3
During the break, the hearing was temporarily suspended, and the commissioners returned to the lounge while other participants were swarmed by reporters for interviews.
"I didn't expect Stryker to admit it so happily. The faces of the guys around him seemed like a ghost. It seems that something must have happened that we don't know about." Senator Bill, the chairman of the committee, sat down on the sofa and took He wiped his face with the hot towel sent by his assistant, then picked up a refreshing drink and drank it. "I have to thank the dwarf for coming out to save the scene, and finally did not let our hearing end in an anticlimactic manner. You know, for us, the greatest cruelty is being forgotten. Fortunately, this cruelty did not happen today."
His words immediately resonated with the committee members. It is not difficult for them to maintain their status at this stage. Maintaining popularity is what they care about the most.And how to maintain popularity, various hearings are the best platform, they are high above, they don't need to go down to the bottom to personally participate in the fight, make a bad sweat, just a calm and fair image is enough.
"I really want to see what the secretary of defense looks like now. That arrogant guy is always looking at people. If I can, I would like to see him fall into a big trouble." , the mood becomes very happy.
"I don't know what assurance Stryker has received. He dares to drag the military down. If the press goes back on it, I'm afraid this time will be another storm like the Watergate incident." Another congressman did not want the movement to become too big. , he is worried that if the impact is too large, it may spread to himself.
At this time, the chairman made a final decision and dispelled their doubts.
"Don't worry," His Excellency the Chairman said with a toast: "Although we don't know the details, the situation is very clear. The military is not monolithic. The President has long wanted to reach out to the top of the military, and now Stryker is just giving him a chance. That's it. As for who the board hits, it's not you or me anyway, it's probably some unfortunate guy who has already passed away. But the point is not here, the point is that no matter who comes to power, the benefits don't lose our share."
He said, the committee members laughed in agreement, and raised their cups to greet the wise old man.
The chairman's brother-in-law, Xiu Ken, also flattered his brother-in-law: "Brother-in-law, what you said is really nice---American is not afraid of challenges, never afraid of war---you are upright when you say this. Awe-inspiring, I seem to have seen your youthful demeanor again."
The chairman smiled and shook his head. Anyway, it was all his own people, so he didn't have any concerns. He put down the cup and took the opportunity to educate the newcomer.
"I was never so beautiful when I was young, and I couldn't say justice at that time. In fact, justice was never my pursuit." He stroked his neatly combed hair and said contentedly.
"A lot of people try to look like a saint, even though they're not, but they instinctively think it's going to put them in an advantageous position, but it often backfires."
"When you act like this, people cheer for you on the surface, as if they see a contemporary role model, but secretly want you to look good. Reporters will also help you build momentum. When you are lucky, it seems to be nowhere to go. Every wonderful performance of yours is recorded, and when your luck disappears, a small scandal or a rhetorical sentence may be caught, and they will suddenly make a noise and become known to the whole country, and then you Your reputation is getting worse and worse, and all the good fame in the early days is now a burden, and they will in turn prove how well you hide a hypocrite---a hypocrite is always ridiculed when exposed. So don't try to show yourself. Holy, you are not a saint, neither are we."
"Then what should I do?" Shuken moved his huge hips and tried to approach the leader to listen to his teaching. The other members of the lounge were also paying attention to the valuable experience of the senator.
"Be yourself," the senator said solemnly, which was indeed his voice. "Be yourself, so you may not stand out quickly, but you can go long enough."
"How do you think I got here in Congress? There's no secret," the senator said indifferently. "When my contemporaries were all-powerful, I was a small parliamentarian sitting in an unremarkable corner; when they gradually lost their aura and became ordinary, I was an ordinary parliamentarian; when they were swayed by scandals I was a good senator when I was there; when they all collapsed, I looked around and saw that there were not many people around me who could be side by side with me. That's how I got here, it's not that my talents are superior Above everyone else, but I always focus on myself.”
"I have never concealed my past, I have smoked marijuana, escaped military service, and talked big, except for being extremely loyal to my beloved, your sister, I have made all the mistakes young people make, but never No one will try to use them to bring me down, because I've been a normal person from the start, and I've been a collection of all the forgivable mistakes a contemporary American can make, but never out of line."
When the senator said this, he was calm and hopeful, and no one dared to look him in the eyes. He looked at his wife and brother again, and said meaningfully:
"We still have a long way to go, don't rush to perform, don't make mistakes."
Xiu Ken nodded again and again.
On the other side, Eric finally got rid of the reporters and walked to the other side of the hearing hall.
"What are you going to do?" The security guards followed him vigilantly. After listening to Stryker's statement, they were far less hostile to mutants than they had been at first, but they were still quite cautious out of good work ethic.
"To the bathroom, do you want to go together?" Eric smiled. "Hopefully I won't shame you."
His words made the man's face twitch, he looked at the rostrum subconsciously, and then stopped.
Eric entered the room alone, no one else but Stryker.
"Your performance is admirable, but a little eager, our President may not be happy that you let his hearing end so quickly." He stood in front of the sink and slowly washed his hands.
Stryker looked out, he had some concerns, Eric knew what he was worried about, and dismissed his worries casually.
"No one, and no peeping footage. But don't forget to touch up your makeup, I really didn't know you had such a hand." He pointed to Stryker's gray face and said.
Stryker relaxed and said, "I still have a lot of skills that you don't know, but it's really convenient to have the ability. You don't have to worry about being photographed secretly." Heat it up.
Eric looked at the shiny gadget in his hand, and said, "This thing is not bad, it seems that you have been doing well recently."
"Limited edition, there are only fifty pieces in the world." Stryker picked up the lighter and listened to its crisp sound intoxicated. "As early as 30 years ago, I longed to have such a treasure, but I didn't expect to get it now."
Eric gave him a smile and started drying his hands with a hand dryer.
"Thanks to you, now I have a lot of money and can enjoy the dreams of my youth." Stryker said, although his words were good, his expression was not very happy. "But it won't be long before I'm in jail and won't be able to enjoy it anymore."
"Don't do that, William," Eric advised. "Your life is still long, what is it if you go in for a year or two, as long as they still need you, it won't take long for you to come out---don't tell me you didn't inject yourself with serum." Eric looked at Shi Trek's magnetic field, he had already discovered subtle shifts.
"I got the injection, and I feel better than ever, but I'm not a human anymore." Stryker was a little disappointed.
"Sentimental." Eric scoffed at his disappointment. "Who can say you're not human? A new era is coming, and in your lifetime you'll see a huge explosion of all kinds of people—humans that suck blood, humans with animal ears, humans with wagging tails, and humans with cloaks. Humans with scales and armor, they will appear one by one, and maybe there will be even more bizarre existences, by then you will not be conspicuous at all, and maybe even a representative of pure human beings."
Stryker shook his head, and he began to puff, numbing himself with the scent of cigars.
"Purebred? Humans and vampires?" In the smoke, his expression gradually became confused.
"Don't underestimate yourself." Eric waved his hands and said easily. "The Germans are often proud of their blood, but they turn a blind eye to their origins. The Teutons were created by the mixture of Germans, Baltics and Russians, and the Teutons became Prussia. When Prussia unified Little Germany and defeated France, they became a descendant of noble Aryans. You see, when a man or a group is strong and rich, he can ridicule his neighbors and his poor relatives as much as he likes, and who cares about their past then? ?"
Stryker didn't answer, he took a big mouthful of cigars, and soon the whole cigar was exhausted, then he pressed the ash out, and asked casually: "Is this what you expected, you used me to complete it? This plan."
Eric did not deny this, he said lightly: "The best way to hide a tree is to hide it in the forest, and now we are all safe."
"The forest is not safe," Stryker said solemnly: "Some people won't leave you alone, Trask is not the only force targeting mutants. Don't underestimate those people, as long as they want, they can You're crushed to pieces, they're a forest of intertwined roots, not lone ghosts like me and Trask."
Eric smiled gently, without asking who "they" were.
"Then let them let the horses come over, I'll wait." He said lightly, and then pointed to Stryker's face. "Don't forget to touch up your makeup."
