Chapter 470: The "Frank" American Conscription
In 1939, the United States entered a state of war early. However, this time they were completely unprepared and no longer had to use the "Pearl Harbor sea fishing" technique, because the Oriental fish not only took the bait in advance, but even washed ashore, beating them completely. The power to fight back.
For a time, recruitment posters were everywhere in the United States, and the federal government and state governments used all their methods to trick young men into entering military camps.
I just started making movies, publishing comics, and talking about my love for America.
However, this time the battlefield is not in Europe on the other side of the Atlantic, but in the west or even the middle of the country. Everyone deeply feels the atmosphere of war.
Slogans like "Love America" are too vague and far less effective than actual benefits.
As a result, capitalists quickly changed their methods and attacked the weak points of young men.
First, they doubled the previously set war allowances, and then spent a lot of money to organize young beauties from all over the country to take to the streets. When they see strong young men, they enthusiastically pounce on them. As long as they can be dragged into the military camp and registered, they can Got a hefty commission.
Piece rate, pay on the spot, never in arrears!
In this way, practitioners in special industries were the first to respond, because the commission they get from helping the army collect a soldier is higher than the share they earn from each business!
It's all yours, there's no boss to take the big bucks, and you can enjoy unprecedented protection from the government and the military. It's simply the working environment that Jimei people dream of.
With these people as "catfish", one can imagine how "frank" the persuasion methods used are.
Therefore, when most American young people walk into the military camp, their legs are weak, and they are basically dragged in.
Faced with the Japanese invaders who had invaded the country, American capitalists spent a lot of money.
They all knew something about the behavior of the Japanese devils in China. Now that the other party was driven out of China, they obviously needed more blood. They knew with their toes what the Japanese devils would do to them.
The failed art students started a war in Europe again. American capitalists found themselves unable to escape and had no choice but to fight on.
At such a critical moment, what does face mean?
Ever since, young men in America are blessed.
The streets and alleys are full of women in cool clothes, and those young and beautiful girls with good figures are even surrounded by men, all of them hungry.
"Idiot, this is going to the battlefield, it will kill you!"
Some sober people couldn't help but jump out to stop the young man above, but who knew that they were more sober than him.
"Just go ahead. If no one goes to the battlefield, we will still have to face the Japanese devils in a few months. Why not have fun now!"
"Can you usually come across a beauty of this caliber?"
The old man in shabby clothes was speechless. He recalled the bad-tempered yellow-faced woman at home, and then looked at these beautiful girls who were full of youthful atmosphere. The old man was very moved, but he was too old to carry any gun. Can't get up.
By challenging the weaknesses of young men, America's military recruitment work finally progressed smoothly.
In fact, there is another "military draft" in the United States at this time, but it is not targeting ordinary people, but only special talents with super powers.
This is naturally the "mutant recruitment operation" carried out by Nick Fury after accepting Phil Coulson's suggestion.
This "recruitment" did not result in the phenomenon of a bunch of demons dancing around, but the price offered was high rather than low. In addition to a large amount of financial subsidies, it also promised to develop and strengthen superpowers for everyone, and allow themselves and their families to enjoy the future. Medical protection provided by technology.
The temptation of money, the desire for power, and the fetters of family ties, the three-pronged effect is equally amazing, no worse than that of "frank" beauties.
Outskirts of New York, Xavier Manor.
Charles Xavier, who was only ten years old, stood in front of the radio and listened carefully to the "Recruitment" introduction played inside.
"Please, you've been listening to these contents for five days in a row, haven't you heard enough?" Raven turned into a normal little girl, lying on the sofa eating potato chips. "I used to think that we were the only ones special in the world, but now it seems that I was too superficial..." The young Charles sighed, looking old-fashioned.
"So you want to go, right?" Although Raven is not as young and mature as Charles, he is not stupid at all.
If Charles wasn't interested, why would he listen for five days straight?
"I..." Charles hesitated for a moment and nodded solemnly: "I want to understand myself and why we are different from ordinary people."
"Since these guys have summoned people like us with great fanfare, they must know enough about us. After all, they are people from the future."
Charles has no interest in money, his parents are dead, and he has no family ties, but he has a strong thirst for knowledge, especially why he is special.
Unfortunately, at a young age, he still had the filter of "future people" and naively believed that since "future people" have more advanced technology, they must also have a deeper understanding of the world, but he did not know that the two parties are not the same at all. world.
"Go if you want. If they can put ads on the radio, they must be recognized by the government. They are not bad people."
The smart Raven has the innocence brought by age, and he doesn't know that although it can't be said that there are all bad people in that white house, there are absolutely no good people.
Young Charles didn't understand this either, so after careful consideration, he asked the butler to prepare the vehicle.
"I asked Arman to take me there first, and you stay at home!" Charles' tone refused.
"No!" Raven jumped up from the sofa.
"Don't be ridiculous. I will share the information I got with you. You don't need to take risks." Charles said seriously.
Raven knew that this was Charles' concern for her, but being alone and helpless, she was very insecure, so she naturally had a desire for power.
It wasn't just Charles who was listening to the commercials on the radio these days, she was listening too.
So she said to Charles very seriously: "I need to become stronger!"
"You..."
"Even if you don't agree, I will act like an adult and go it alone!"
Charles had no choice but to agree to let her go with him.
The butler Arman drove the two imps to the industrial area in the suburbs of northern New York. Nick Fury directly set up the new headquarters of SHIELD here, which is different from the Avengers headquarters in Manhattan.
After "Captain Black Skull" appeared, Nick Fury was keenly aware of the subtle psychological changes in the Avengers, and they became suspicious of Steve Rogers.
The "Spirit Eagles" do not agree with the judgment of the other Tony Stark, or are unwilling to agree. They prefer to believe that there is something wrong with Steve's heart, which is why he turned dark.
This kind of doubt is fatal and will greatly shake the cohesion of the team.
Unless Steve is kicked out and a new spiritual pillar is found, the team will be broken up.
"Black Braised Egg" knew that no one could replace the former Steve. He was extremely pragmatic and immediately abandoned the team he had formed and put a lot of effort into, and instead devoted all his energy to the "Super Soldier Project".
As long as the plan succeeds, this group of super-strength artificial humans will be more useful and easier to use than the free and loose Avengers.
With the popularity of "recruitment" advertisements, mutants like Charles who were originally hidden in American society gradually gathered.
