Chapter 215: The Moment You''ve Been Waiting For
[You can read 60 chapters in advance and GOT fic on /misterimmortal.]
It was the 21st century, and no matter how much you love freedom and stand for it, in today''s day and age of technology, it was impossible not to have some level of surveince on the people to ensure no crimes ur.
The argument, in the end,es to how the data was being used. Hector had to sanction the use of technology to surveince the people. What they were chatting about, what they were speaking. It was to find domestic abusers, child abusers, paedophiles and r*pists. Heck, many suicidal people also post suggestive things online before doing it.
The people had given up their freedom anyway when they signed into google or bought a new smartphone. The moment one uses the inte, their freedom to remain anonymous and not be tracked is gone.
So, an A.I. based on the code he stole from Kree Supreme Intelligence was behind this surveince, and Hector held its key. As a result, Hector was able to provide help to all these people in time before something terrible happened.
So after tackling the issue of stopping crimes before they happen, he moved to the next big n. America was fat. It was not Hector saying it but math.
He sat in his office with a report on the table. It was from the Food and Drug Administration. It revealed that about 47% of the people are obese in the country.
This was a lot more than it was initially supposed to be. Sadly, Hector was all to be med for this. Since he improved the standard of living of Americans, got more money for the people, reduced poverty, and such. People spend more money on food now. Sadly, the food they eat is not made to be healthy.
So, it was also his responsibility to get them fit. For this reason, he had a meeting with the CEOs of various giant fast-food chains. From KFC to Wendy''s. He told them to start a new program called Fit America.
It was going to be a win-win for everyone. First of all, he forced them to stop advertising their food as healthy because it has some lettuce. Second, they were to inform people about the contents of the food urately.
The third and most significant thing was to be done in part with the government. Hector was going to buy the gym franchise called Anytime Fitness. It had 3000 gyms around the world, and he will pump that number to 10,000 super affordable gyms. Heck, he told the foodpanies also to build gyms, and they will get subsidies for it.
Then the first month was going to be free for all. In that one month, excellent trainers will help the people start and tell them about the special governmental program. It was called the Peak Cheat Program.
ording to this, every person that joins the gym will get free, one serving of fast food from all fast-food outlets in the country on Sunday. But that is if they can prove that they ate healthy for the week and also finished their exercise quota in the gym.
On top of that, every morbidly obese person who brings down their weight to the healthy category will get discounted food from all the fast-food outlets for a year. But if they increase the weight again, it''d stop.
If the n works, then the world will adopt it with the help of the United Nations, the organization that Hector was trying to erect as the new central world government.
"Boss, the Generals are here." Secretary Wick informed him on the phone.
"Send them in... and order five milkshakes."
Hector moved from his main seat to the sofa set. He was going to change the world with today''s decisions. He hated that the United Nations Security Council could not be expanded due to the veto power of China and Russia. He had to do something now.
"Sir!"
There were the top Generals of the Army, Navy, and Airforce. Then there was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and his second-inmand. They took a seat, looking stiff. This was how most meetings between defense high-ranking officers and Hector took ce. Hector was known to be the greatest military man. Even now, he was the highest-ranking officer in the world. They just respected him too much.
"Calm down. What I am about to discuss with you five should not leave this room. Trust me; I''d know if you did that. Now, as we all know. I have cut the US defense budget by 400 Billion dors. But you need not worry about the research and development. We will always have new and better jets, engines, and tech, thanks to our alien friends.
"What I called you here for is to talk about the United Nations. The US is going to involve itself more in it. Specifically, the Peace Keeping branch, because the truth why nobody takes them seriously is because they are useless.
"I will be giving the United Nations 2 Aircraft Carriers with all F-16 jets. Twelverger and medium-sized warships. Along with this, 100 attack and support helicopters, 300 tanks and support armored vehicles.
"They will be used in peacekeeping missions across the world. The deal is that 70% of the crew must be from the US forces, and the remaining can be from the US-allied countries. So I need you folks to start the preparation. Select the smartestds from our forces and send them." he ordered.
"But sir, who will be paying their sry?" the Chairman asked.
"The United Nations, of course. Any more questions?"
"Are we going to give these ships from our own fleets? That will not sit with the public and the opposition, sir." The Navy Admiral warned.
"Oh no, don''t worry about that. We are not giving out any of our equipment. Don''t worry; I got everything covered. There will be no money involved either. I am not using Taxpayer''s money in this unless people agree with it. Go now and start preparing the list of men we will send." He shooed them away at this point.
After saluting, they silently left his office. Hector was going to use the infinity stones to create the ships, so there was no cost involved. And he will also get to control the United Nations better.
The African Region and much of the Middle East were still in a mess, and the UN was needed there. With that, he remembered something. "Ah, why did the Wakandan duo note to meet me again? Are they okay?"
*Knock Knock*
"Strange, I don''t think I had another meeting." He muttered and looked at the wall clock. It was time to head home to his family.
Soon the door opened, and Hector''s secretary walked in, looking down for some reason. She was an old woman in her sixties, Augusta Wick, the daughter of his previous secretary. Yeah, a bit of nepotism was going on here, but since he trusted the mother, he did the same with the daughter.
"Sir, may I have a word with you?" she asked respectfully.
Hector sensed something was wrong, so he gestured for her to sit, "Sure, what is it?"
She lowered her voice, "Sir, I need your help with something. I tried to get it sorted on my own, but things seem to have gone beyond the scope of my abilities. I can not deal with things that are outside this nation."
"What''s the matter? Tell it to me directly."
"It''s my grandson, sir. He''s in trouble, and his life is in danger. He has nobody after his wife died from cancer a few years ago. His mother is also dead, leaving only me. But he won''t ever ask me for help." She exined.
Hector sighed and picked up the phone and called Diana, "Dear, I will bete for dinner, it seems. Some emergency hase up. Yeah... tell Moony not to wait for me and eat with Fenris. Ah... okay, I will bring the veggies; just send me the list on WhatsApp."
*BEEP BEEP*
"Haha, she''s fast. Well, Augusta, let''s go and help your grandson." He got up and took his car keys from the drawer.
Augusta meekly followed behind her tall president. "Thank you for doing this, sir."
"Oh, you hurt me with those words, little one. What''s the name of your grandson?" he asked her, not bothering with the fact that he called the 65-year-old a little one.
Augusta didn''t mind, though. Because when she was 10, he looked the same, and now, too, he looks the same. "His name is Jonathan Wick, sir."
[A/N: Changed things slightly here, John has a real grandma in this one. The rest is the same.]
