Chapter 228: Plan Early
It's the Hong Kong affair that is actually quite big. While it is not clear what is happening, the right people within the government are well aware of it.
"I don't agree with the fact that the Brotherhood of Mutants branch is set up in Hong Kong. One commissioner put it this way: "Mutant fraternities are inherently not much different from terrorist organizations. If anyone knows that we are involved with the Brotherhood of Mutants, then it is easy to be caught!
The committee member's impassioned statement was reached. But his words were ridiculed by another big guy: "Hey. Which side are you on?"
Commissioner: "What?"
The big guy continued to sneer: "Let me ask you, which side are you from? You were sent by the Americans?"
The committee member was furious: "What are you talking about! Are you slandering my loyalty to the country?"
The old god of the big man said: "Since you are loyal to the country, then you should understand that what you just said is a dog and a stinky fart! Are you stupid to teach in a school now? Do you really regard dogmatism as the truth every day? Don't think that because you are teaching more students now, you regard yourself as an authority!"
"You are still far from governing the country!" the big man criticized the committee member mercilessly. This committee member is the principal of a certain official training school, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world. So he was able to enter the government's core think tank and give advice on the country's approach.
But as the big guy said before, this committee member is a bit stupid to teach. Of course, some other political considerations are not excluded, after all, since ancient times, the methods used in internal struggles are different from those used in solidarity against external use.
"Can reputation be used as food?" The big man continued to criticize harshly: "Have you forgotten who secretly connived at the Ten Commandments Gang on our western border? Because of the existence of the Manchurians, we have almost given up the development of the western region for a full 30 years! A large number of aborigines in the northwest have been forced to migrate eastward. β
"Now the population of the whole west is seriously out of proportion, and a lot of land is barren. Even some land is neglected and begins to show that in addition to desertification, we need to re-manage it. Do you understand the feelings of those who have been forced to leave their homes because of security concerns and the war?!"
The big man's eyes were fixed on the committee member, and his gaze was like a tiger: "The big exit of the eastern seaboard: the Pacific Ocean! Do you understand where we are?"
"Don't keep looking at what island chains are not island chains, look a little farther, there is not a single strait mouth suitable for international navigation that we can control! At least not now! The Europeans fought for hundreds of years in the Age of Discovery in order to control these straits. β
"And the United States controls the global maritime hegemony because of the two world wars, and it was snatched from other European countries as a condition of interest! Our country is in a state of suffocation and inaccessibility. The Ten Rings Gang is committing crimes on our northwest border, and any supplies transported out of China by land are easy to be looted by them. β
"How can it be peaceful in the Pacific? reputation? Do you really think that anyone really cares?" The big guy really showed no mercy this time, and he reprimanded the committee members in a way that cut his head and covered his face.
Although there are many protΓ©gΓ©s of the committee members, they are not as high as the status of the big guys. Moreover, the big guy is a faction that holds real power, which is completely different from his kind of pure political work system official. Therefore, the committee members who were reprimanded by the bigwigs could only blush, but they couldn't jump up and criticize the bigwigs.
"We can't go through sea transportation, so China has been thinking about developing land transportation. Including high-speed rail programs, which we've actually been working on all along. It's just because the Ten Rings Gang is like a fish in the throat, if there are no people who make trouble behind their backs, even if it is a painful price, we will eradicate the Manchurian people. The big guy continued to clarify his position.
"Now that we were caught off guard by the battle for New York, we were able to join forces with Latvia and the Commonwealth of New Eastern Europe to eradicate this serious problem. Even we are now able to join the HyperSpeed Rail program, allowing our entire national program to be done in a different way. Do you know how long it took us to wait for this day and how many people died?" The big guy's tiger-like gaze finally made the committee member bow his head.
"Put away your thoughts! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The big guy finally said sternly, "What the Mutant Brotherhood has done at least so far is good for us!" β
The big guy called out Zheng Xian, the director of the Divine Spear Bureau, who was also attending the meeting. Zheng Xian was playing with his pen intently at the other end of the conference table, as if he didn't care about the previous discussion. It wasn't until the big guy called him that he turned his head. Before the big guy could ask, Zheng Xian spoke first: "I have already sent a team of gods to deal with it." And ask them to contact Magneto, and I'm sure they'll get a satisfactory answer. β
The big guy nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and finally he looked around the venue: "The tone of this matter in Hong Kong has basically been set." No one is to mention it again. β
After the meeting, Zheng Xian stayed alone, and he needed to discuss some things with the big guy.
"Nebineia and the G-8, I know, are already openly resisting the EU. I can't judge whether they are doing it well or badly. If the EU completely cuts off their external imports, these countries may not survive for long. The big guy touched his chin and said these words.
Just now, Zheng Xian and the big guy have already told the big guy about the fact that Nebineia and other countries came to China to seek help.
The big guy looked at Zheng Xian a little puzzled: "Shouldn't this matter be handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with? Why did they find you?"
Zheng Xian said helplessly: "Speaking of which, they may really need to come to me for this matter." Because they brought some new friends with them. β
The big guy touched his jade ring face: "What friend?"
"Tuvalu, in fact, this country has been completely transformed into a mutant country!" Zheng Xian brought an earth-shattering news: "They have gathered a large number of mutants and established this country. Even supporting the small countries of Nabinea in Africa is still going on in secret, but it is impossible to hide it forever!"
The big guy was stunned by the news brought by Zheng Xian: "What?!"
Zheng Xian smiled and signaled the big guy not to be too excited: "Don't be too excited, in fact, this batch of mutants is moderate." It was organized by Charles's students. They weren't radical like the Mutant Brotherhood. And now they are here to find a consensus. Rise of the Mutants looks like it's going to be a formality. β
The big guy was silent, he was playing with his jade ring. After a long time, he sighed: "What news is there for Shang Qi and Li Qianhuan?" β
"Their work in the Heavenly Sword Bureau is still good. And I also had contact with Director Rogers. Rogers is not a politician in the traditional sense, he is more of a politician. Having vision and revenge is not out of personal kindness, but a kind of overall situation. He has begun to move away from a single nation and a state. Many of his considerations are based on the future of the entire planet, the entire human race. β
Zheng Xian reminded: "Actually, they got some information from the research institute supported by the Horizon Foundation, about the predictable direction of the world. Our society has reached an inflection point in rapid development, and it is practically difficult for a single state to exist in the cosmic era. β
"Because humanity has discovered extraterrestrial civilizations, the Battle of New York has shown us the gap between us and them. This will continue to affect our senses and sense of identity with civilized polity. More and more people will slowly realize the fragility of a single nation in the face of powerful and bloc alien civilizations. β
The big guy nodded: "This is also the reason why we will deal with the Zero Hour Earth Federation Agency, and it is also the reason why the Heavenly Sword Bureau can be established." We've seen it all. β
"When mankind really enters the age of the universe, whether it is China, the United States, Russia or France. In fact, the concept of the state will slowly die out. Tony Stark has begun preparations for the construction of humanity's first starport. Perhaps in the fantasy, the day when starports and space battleships will become the safest places for human beings to live will really appear. At that time, it will be difficult for us to divide human beings by region or race. Zheng Xian said with emotion.
"Because the universe is beyond the limits of what we can imagine, and the number of life in the universe may be beyond the limits of our imagination. β
The big guy took out a pack of peony cigarettes from his jacket pocket, he took out one and smoked it, and said in a cloud of smoke: "Maybe one day human beings can achieve great harmony, or in the cognition of the attribute of [human]. But that's probably a long time later. We need to go through all kinds of trials and tribulations to accomplish this unprecedented proposition. I don't think I can see that day anymore. β
"Zheng Xian, my life and you are counted. We won't see what will happen hundreds of years from now. Hearing this, Zheng Xian wanted to say something, but the big guy waved his hand to stop him and motioned for him to listen to him.
But that doesn't mean we don't have to worry about what will happen hundreds of years from now. I believe that the struggle will continue to exist for hundreds or even millennia. We need more friends to get us on our feet before the advent of the cosmic age. The big guy took a deep puff of his cigarette, almost one-fifth of its length.
"We once gave up on the ocean, and now we can't give up the universe anymore. Regardless of whether mankind will be the same in the future, we must make our own preparations. Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment. The United States has Director Rogers, who was a hero to all mankind during World War II. The battle of New York propelled him to another peak. There is also his shadow behind his bold promotion of the Heavenly Sword Bureau and even the Earth Federation, and even we know that he is trying to find a way to encircle and suppress Hydra, and plan the construction of Starport with Tony Stark. In fact, they are already ahead of the curve. β
The big guy was smoking, and Zheng Xian couldn't see his expression clearly in the smoke.
"We can't be too far behind. We can't afford to lag behind any longer. Think of a way. After saying this, the big guy's eyes began to be a little confused, he was thinking about something, and his eyes appeared out of focus.
It took a long time for the big guy to come to his senses, he flicked the cigarette that burned to the end of the cigarette into the trash can and stood up, he said to Jung Hyun, "Go and get in touch with the mutants in Tuvalu." China has always been a mutant-friendly country. As long as Tuvalu can guarantee that they are a pacifist country, not a mutant nation that wants to start a violent revolution. β
"As long as they can guarantee this, we have everything to talk about!" The big guy looked at the lotus pond outside the office window: "The world has changed, I remember that there is a sentence written in a book [When human beings step out of the earth and into the universe, when you take the first step, are you still the same you?] Zheng Xian, maybe we should have prepared early. β
The big guy looked at Zheng Xian, and Zheng Xian nodded solemnly.
PS: For reasons that everyone knows, there are a lot of things in this chapter that cannot be described in detail. I can only write it with Spring and Autumn penmanship. So I'm also very painful to write this chapter, but I still have to write it. Because the background situation still has to be explained.
A group of people, led by the protagonist, have profoundly changed the political environment of this world. It's no longer a situation where you do it, and then there's nothing in the world around you.
Therefore, the changes in China's political situation in this regard also need to be briefly explained to pave the way for the rest of the story. Of course, there are many places that can't be written, so you can only hit the brain. Thank you for your understanding.
Also ask for a ticket.
