Chapter 29: Chapter 29 | Meeting the American Government
Lex Luthor, the notorious billionaire and mastermind, strode confidently into the high-security government facility. With his impeccable suit and trademark bald head, he exuded an air of authority, commanding attention from everyone present.
The tension in the room was palpable as government officials and military personnel awaited his arrival. Luthor's reputation precedes him. A brilliant and cunning individual, known for his immense wealth and shrewd business acumen.
As Lex took his seat at the head of the table, he began to address the room, his voice carrying a mix of confidence and calculated charm. He wasted no time in getting to the crux of the matter.
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Lex began, his gaze sweeping across the room. "I stand before you today not as an adversary, but as a concerned citizen. Our world faces unprecedented challenges, and it is imperative that we set outside our differences and work together for the greater good."
The room remained silent, the skepticism evident on the faces of those in attendance. Lex continued, undeterred.
"I have spent years studying the geopolitical landscape, analyzing the global threats that endanger our security. I have come to the realization that our current approaches are inadequate, and we require a new paradigm. A fresh perspective. That is why I am here today."
Lex's words hung in the air, and murmurs of intrigue filled the room. He had managed to capture the attention of the government officials. Piquing their curiosity about his proposed solution.
"I have propose the establishment of a joint task force, combining the resources and expertise of both the government and private sectors. "Lex continued. "This task force will be dedicated to identifying and neutralizing threats that transcend national borders, such as terrorism, cyber warfare, and emerging technologies."
The room erupted in a flurry of discussion and debate. Some officials voiced concerns over Lex's past. While others acknowledged the potential benefits of such collaboration. Amidst the chaos, Lex maintained his composure, ready to address any doubts thrown his way.
"As an entrepreneur, I have access to cutting-edge technologies, financial resources, and a network of brilliant minds. By working alongside the government, we can leverage these assets to developers innovative solutions to our most pressing problems." Lex explained.
After what felt like an eternity, the room began to quiet down, and the officials turned their attention back to Lex. The gravity of the situation and the weight of Lex's proposition hung heavy in the air.
Ultimately, the decision to trust Lex rested on the belief that his vision for a collaborative task force held the potential for groundbreaking advancements in national security. The American government agreed to further discussions and negotiations, recognizing the need for unconventional approaches in an ever-evolving world. As a way to show you what I said is the truth. I will now show you one of my inventions in this horrific War. This weapon will end all wars and make us, the United States the supreme Empire."
Lex snaps his hands. A person walks into the room pushing an object with a red sheet on it. Lex smiled and saw the anticipation on the leader's faces. The weapons finally arriving, Lex spoke. "Ladies and Gentlemen. This is the Hypersonic Missile Defense System. An intercontinental defense network capable of intercepting missiles with unparalleled precision. This system's speed and accuracy are unmatched, rendering any potential attack futile. Nations now have to reconsider strategies in the face of this impenetrable shield."
The room was silent with trepidation and awe. As Lex presented his weapons to the world leader. The Government immediately had some implications of such power falling into the wrong hands.
Sensing their dread and awe, Lex puts his hands up and another man walks inside pushing something towards them. This time a golden sheet was covering the display.
Lex grabs the golden cloth and another weapons shows. This time three drones appear on the metallic crate. Sensing the growing tension in the air, Lex begins to explain the weapon and it's function.
"This is called the Sentient Combat Drone. (SCD). This autonomous machine is equipped with Lex's advanced artificial intelligence algorithms, enabling it to make split-second decisions in a battle. It's speed, precision, and adaptability surpasses any existing military technology."
The tension in the air crackles, as Lex revealed even more of his weapons. The Government is in a state of shock. This technology and machinery are decades above what they are capable of producing and replicating right now.
If the Axis finds out about this technology. They would for sure kidnap Lex to force him to make weapons for them. Not even Howard Stark has weapons this advanced. After the meeting, Lex's name will begin to spread all over the world, globally.
Making LexCorp into a global megacorporation. Lex smiled and takes his leave from the room leaving his weapons and a bewildered government behind.
