X-Weapon Project!
William Stryker was taken aback upon hearing this, but then overjoyed. He had only intended to have Chen Mo and the other two Mutants join his newly formed X-Force, but General Munson had actually obtained the entire First Special Operations Team directly from General Paul Hudgens. Although William Stryker was surprised, he was also very happy.
The Mutants research department he led belonged to the military, and these special forces soldiers, once transferred there, became his subordinates and would obey his orders. He didn't need to worry about being out of control, so William Stryker naturally wanted as many and stronger soldiers as possible under his command.
He was also aware of the strength of this Special Operations Squad. Although their amazing achievements were mainly due to the power of Chen Mo, Victor, and James, the three "Mutants," these soldiers themselves were also extremely strong, absolutely among the top of all US Army soldiers.
"While these soldiers may not be as strong Mutants, they are still the most elite warriors with extensive combat experience. They have completed many special missions in Vietnam, including infiltration, assassination, raids, and sabotage. They can greatly strengthen the base's defenses, and some less difficult tasks can also be assigned to them."
General Munson's words made William Stryker nod secretly, inwardly agreeing with them.
However, General Munson's next words made him feel some pressure.
"The military fully supports all your requests, but we also hope you can speed things up and produce results as soon as possible!"
At this time, the Mutants research department was still in its infancy. Apart from the support of the military, the only real core force was the X-Force, composed of a few Mutants recruited by William Stryker. Although the military also dispatched a team of over a hundred soldiers to guard the base, these soldiers could only be considered relatively elite, but were far less powerful than the special forces soldiers of the MACV-SOG unit.
William Stryker has been focusing most of his energy on finding and recruiting Mutants and forming the X-Force during this period, so development in other areas has lagged behind. In fact, the Mutants research department is now just an empty shell, with very few researchers studying Mutants.
However, William Stryker was not worried, as he already had a suitable candidate to lead the research.
"General Munson, please rest assured!"
"With the addition of these three Mutants, the formation of X-Force is basically complete. I will soon expand the research department according to plan and use X-Force to ensure the smooth progress of the research. X-Plan will officially begin!"
After hanging up the phone, William Stryker looked at the distant military camp with a triumphant expression, a slightly sinister smile playing on his lips.
That evening, an Iroquois military helicopter slowly landed on the parade ground of the MACV-SOG unit of the US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. As soon as the helicopter came to a stop, a group of fully armed and imposing soldiers filed out of the open cabin door, quickly passing under the still-spinning rotor blades and arriving at the perimeter of the helicopter.
However, they soon stopped, because right there on the edge of the parade ground, General Paul Huggins, the head of the US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, was waiting for them, and next to him was a cold-looking middle-aged man in Major's uniform and wearing sunglasses.
The First Special Operations Team had just returned from completing its mission, immediately ran towards General Paul Hudgens.
The group of sixteen men quickly arrived in front of General Paul Huggins, stood in a neat row, and saluted him in unison.
"General!"
General Paul Huggins looked at the First Special Operations Team, who exuded a strong aura of fierceness and was clearly much stronger than other Special Operations Squad, and nodded approvingly. However, a hint of reluctance quickly appeared in his eyes. He didn't say anything more, but turned to look at the middle-aged Major beside him.
The Major appeared next to General Paul Hudgens was none other than William Stryker.
Sensing General Paul Hudgens' gaze, William Stryker stepped forward, his eyes slowly sweeping over the row of imposing special forces soldiers standing before him, finally settling on the three tall, strong figures at the very edge of the line, a flicker of excitement flashing in his eyes.
With his eyes fixed on Chen Mo and the other two, William Stryker slowly began to speak.
"Soldiers, this is Major William Stryker. From today onwards, you will no longer be under the command of the US Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, MACV-SOG. Instead, you have been transferred to the secret military research department under my command. In one hour, we will be leaving Vietnam by military aircraft. You can pack your bags now and get ready to depart!"
If it were any other Special Operations Squad from MACV-SOG, they would be incredibly excited to hear this news, because it means they can finally leave this damned place that could kill them at any moment. To date, due to the extremely dangerous missions they have been carrying out, MACV-SOG has suffered more than 50% casualties. Most of the veteran team members who arrived with Chen Mo have been killed, and all the remaining Special Operations Team are prepared to be killed at any time. The only difference is when.
If it weren't for military law, where deserters are sent to a military court or even executed, few would be willing to stay here and die. Now, with the opportunity to leave, every special forces soldier would cherish it.
However, the members of the First Special Operations Team did not show much surprise upon hearing this. Everyone stood quietly in place without any reaction. Victor and James looked particularly unwilling. If Chen Mo hadn't been there, the two of them might have already pointed at William Stryker's face and started cursing.
I finally found a place where I can carry out all sorts of dangerous missions and fight to my heart's content, but you want to transfer me to some damn secret research institute. Just by hearing the name, I know it's not a good place, at least not as many opportunities to fight as here.
Go with you? Get the hell out of my way!
The other members of the Special Operations Team didn't care. As long as Chen Mo and the other two were there, their safety wouldn't be a problem, so it didn't matter where they went.
Moreover, as elite special forces personnel, they are willing to go to the battlefield and carry out various difficult missions when there is no risk of certain death, in order to realize their value.
Those who can become elite special forces are all combat maniacs. The battlefield is the place they truly love. They enjoy the process of fighting, except, of course, when it comes to dying!
