Chapter 41: The Game-Breaker (4,800 words)
Katie and Bobby the Iceman (who mistakenly typed Paul in the previous chapter, confusing the names of the Iceman and the Fire Man), as well as Sunspots, and others have taken a more peaceful and low-key approach to a space where mutants can move. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Taking advantage of Tuvalu's plight, Sunspot Roberto used his farms and mines around the world to relocate the country's more than 10,000 people. Then another sum of money was given to the ex-president.
With a not expensive price, the mutant kingdom was thus established, silently.
Every time I think of this, Professor X Charles, is a little lucky, fortunately, he took Katie as a student before. Thinking of this, Charles felt a little lucky.
Speaking of which, Katie had become friends with Li Jie before becoming her student, which was a very good thing for the two of them.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Jie had a good relationship with Katie in private, even after Katie established herself as a country, she still kept in contact. Let Li Jie be willing to contribute from the mutant incident.
Otherwise, it would not be easy for Professor Charles to stand here as calmly as he is now, and give Katie a reassuring encouragement.
Because he wasn't much sure that he would use this opportunity to clean up the mutant affair at once.
Here Charles has to sigh Li Jie, this young man has a courage far beyond his age, and a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
The combination of these two traits gives him his plans and strategies and ambitions to make a difference in the world. Mutants are part of his plan, and Charles doesn't mind helping him with this.
Because it's a win-win, or even a win-win-win.
Katie pushes Professor Charles' wheelchair and walks along Tuvalu's narrow seawall.
She was a little apprehensive, and opened her mouth several times without speaking, but finally said, "Professor, do you think our plan will succeed?"
Katie is only seventeen years old, the age of a girl. Most children at this age are either worried about schoolwork or love. But this girl who is not strong is preparing to carry the rise and fall of a population with her own strength.
Charles looked at Katie's pretty little face with a hint of unease, smiled and asked in a reassuring voice, "Then why didn't you think that building a mutant nation would not succeed?"
A blush flashed across Katie's face but quickly covered it up, and she shook her head, "Actually, I didn't think about it that much at the time. At the time, my speech was just a whim-brainer. ”
"Yes, how many great decisions are made because of the hot-headedness of young people. Charles patted the back of Katie's hand, who was pushing a wheelchair.
"There's nothing to be worried about, you've grown up. You've done more than you can do at your age. ”
Katie hurriedly said, "I just wanted to build a home for everyone, just like a school. So that we can live in peace. ”
Charles smiled, "By the way, let me retire?" Charles was talking about Katie saying in that emotional speech that the professor and Magneto were old enough to retire. This was later known to Professor Charles.
So Professor Charles said this to Katie, which made Katie a little embarrassed.
"I'm not saying you're old, Professor. Katie struggled to find the right words to say what she meant: "I'm just saying you're too busy, maybe you should take a break and enjoy life when you have time." ”
Charles looked out at the blue ocean and then looked around Tuvalu in the present-day way.
This poor island, which was originally small, has begun to take on a different kind of life, with Katie, Bobby, Roberto, Naughty Little, Riptide, Twinkle, and the best efforts of these people to lobby. There are already quite a few students from Xavier's School for the Gifted and Talented who are willing to join in the construction of this new country.
The biggest problem for Tuvalu is the loss of living space due to rising sea levels. This was a disaster for the already impoverished Tuvalu, who had no technology or money to reclaim land.
But it's not that hard for mutants. With the help of dozens of mutants wielding water and earth abilities, New Tuvalu's land reclamation is almost as big as the United States and the United Kingdom, which have the technology and money.
On top of that, there are mutants with wind and fire abilities that help improve Tuvalu's living conditions.
Mutants who were able to communicate with animals began to try to establish the first animal breeding center on this small island, and some rare and even endangered animals were found by other mutants with extraordinary abilities.
It is here that the most important reproduction is carried out by the mutants who can communicate and appease the animals, ensuring the continuation of the species on earth.
In the immediate vicinity of the original airfield, a new building is being built, which is a research building. Because of the awakening of the X gene, many mutants have awakened the X gene related to language intelligence or memory. This makes them geniuses of the human world.
There are many people who have made achievements in scientific research, but because of the identity of mutants, they have always been embarrassed. Roberto's Costa Group has built a research center here in preparation for a spectacular transformation from the world's largest supplier of raw materials.
This once lifeless island is now full of life.
Behold, Marx. You're too radical, I'm too conservative. We always can't really get what we want, but today my students have chosen a compromise from you and me to see the anger of this country, which you and I don't have in all our plans. Maybe you and I are wrong, the world really belongs to young people!
Charles sighed inwardly, and after a while he turned his head to look at Katie and said, "I believe we can succeed, a corner of the world has been torn apart." The tide of change is about to be set off, and all we have to do is to be a game-breaker who rides the wind and waves!"
Speaking of this, Charles thought of Li Jie again. And now Lee Kit has negotiated with Dr. Bruce Banner.
He stretched out his hand to Dr. Banner and said, "Welcome to Dr. Banner." Let's turn the world into a plane, and distance is no longer a shackle that limits everything. ”
Bruce Banner's eyes were a little complicated, and he was finally convinced, not because of coercion and temptation, but because he was really impressed by Li Jie's plan, turning the earth into a piece of paper, and space is no longer an obstacle. It was an ideal he could not refuse.
"Hopefully I won't regret my choice today. Banner reached out and shook Li Jie heavily.
"Don't worry, doctor. This world is too solidified, let's be a group of game-breakers!" Li Jie said with a smile.
……………………
(Note: The African countries mentioned in this article are my own original and do not exist in the real world.) Just like Latvia and Wakanda, they are countries unique to the Marvel world. )
Africa, Nebinea. A poor agrarian country.
The country doesn't have any coveted resources, no minerals, no gems, no oil, coal, anything like that.
It's a barren country, so barren that it has no resources other than land.
Oh, by the way, the country still has resources, and that is land.
Nebineia is a country that is very suitable for cultivation and agriculture, with abundant water resources and endless large plains. As long as cultivation is carried out, the country of 500,000 square kilometers can grow enough food rations to feed tens of millions of people. The country has an arable area of nearly four million hectares and is an excellent plain with fertile land.
But the country has been suffering from perennial famine, with 3.5 million people struggling to survive on the aid of the United Nations.
The capital of Nebinea, Nemaha.
The president or king of the country is more suitable, and the king of the country is a young man (in terms of politicians). He was only thirty-five years old, and although his face did not look old, his hair was already completely white.
His name was Mahadou, the only son of the previous king and the only heir of Nebinea.
Compared to his parents, Mahatdou was a bold young man who went abroad to study at the age of fifteen. Travel throughout Eurasia. Do you think he's going out to gild? No, this young man is going to learn farming.
He has left his footprints in all the countries of the world that are agriculturally advanced, and he understands that his country is suitable for farming, but it has always been poor, and he has not even eaten.
He went to the countryside to see the cultivation of those peasants, which was very primitive and backward.
"I want to learn from agriculture to save the country!" said fifteen-year-old Mahadou.
But after 20 years, he finally understood one thing: if you learn agriculture, you can't go to Nebinea.
This white-haired and grim-faced man was standing in front of a portrait of his father in his office, and although he had learned to hide his feelings after years in power, the corners of his eyes were still moist.
"Father, why has our country fallen to such a point?" Mahadu murmured.
As he whispered, his office was pushed open, and Mahadou didn't need to look to know who it was. There was only one person who was able to open the door of his office in this way, and he assisted two generations of Nebinean kings, his absolute confidant, Home Secretary Netchel.
Netchel was almost sixty years old, but he did not have the fatigue of an old man, but seemed angry.
"The king, they do not agree to our conditions. Netchel said with some irritation: "The Italian grain group has made the same demand, 55 percent of our arable land in the country, and the lease period is 99 years! Otherwise, this year's aid and grain will not arrive on time." But then we will have a lot of landless peasants. What should they do?"" (Note: This is a 08-year land lease in Madagascar, where South Korea's Daewoo Group leased 50 percent of Madagascar's arable land for a period of 99 years. As soon as the news was announced, the then government of Madagascar was overthrown by the rebels, and the whole process took only three days. )
Bang~!The fist slammed into the wall, and blood flowed down the scars on the fist, but Mahadou didn't feel it.
"Our dairy is no longer viable. "What do they want? Our dairy farm, the chicken farm, the pig farm, and the sugar plantation," said Netchel, sadly. Why are they destroying everything we have! Our country has nothing left!"
Mahadou looked at the blood stains on his fists: "The EU gives their dairy farmers a subsidy of 175 euros a day for a cow, which is more than the vast majority of people in our country can earn in a day. ”
"They subsidize their own chicken farms, pig farms. Subsidize the cultivation of wheat and barley, and subsidize the cultivation of sugar beet, the main source of sugar in Europe. Grain products from the EU, even if you count the freight, are lower than the cost of our own production!"
Mahadou whispered, and the more he said Netchel, the more sad he felt.
"They have a well-established industry, and the scissors gap can feed back from the industry to agriculture, so that the agricultural products are incredibly low. I finally mastered the technology to reduce the cost of sugar production, and I thought that our country could finally rely on sugar to slowly become rich. Nechel let out a wail when he heard this.
"But the farmers of the EU protested all this, thinking that Nebineia was dumping the EU! hahahahaha!
(The sugar case is based on the dumping of sugar in South Africa against the United Kingdom.) The milk and chicken farming case is based on the Liberian v. French case. All of them have been appropriately adapted, so don't delve into them. )
"The King. Nechel pulled Mahadou. This is what brought the king, who had just fallen into madness, to his senses.
"I've studied agriculture all my life, and I've been learning about it. I only hope that one day our country will be able to feed itself with the agricultural products grown by its own farmers. But I failed it all. Whether it's raising pigs or chickens, or dairy farming, all of this fails. All failed. There was some sadness in Mahadou's tone.
Of course he can do whatever it takes and go on like this. Just like those other countries, with the aid of food, he can always live as a king anyway.
It would not hurt him personally to give half of the country's arable land to the Italian Grain Group, and he might even make a fortune. But...... But I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! Why did my country end up here?!
Why are people being pressed like this? Why can't you ask for stability? Why?
Mahadou clenched his fists: "Today I finally understand, Nechel. Learning from agriculture can't save our country, even if we work hard. ”
Netchel chuckled inwardly, he had a bad premonition.
"Remember the call from Tuvalu earlier?" Mahadou said.
Netchel hurriedly said, "But those mutants!"
"What?" Mahadou began to harden in his heart, "I've heard that some mutants survive by eating grass. ”
"If necessary, let all my citizens live on grazing. At least, we still have grass. Mahadou said firmly: "Contact Tuvalu and I want to meet with their president." If they can help Nebineia, I am willing to give my full strength to support the establishment of a mutant state! As for my reputation, leave it to history, even if I am nailed to the pillar of shame and spit on for a thousand years! At least for now, I and my people have had enough!"
This is one of the plans that Li Jie has made for the mutant nation, to unite everything that can be united. In this way, there will be one more game-breaker.
The Africa of this world is not as simple as it was in Li Jie's previous life. Apart from the fact that some of the interests of black Africa were carved up by the great powers, Africa is not completely powerless to fight back. Li Jie also has a very important force here. African Tigers: Wakanda!
Both Britain and the United States have been frustrated in the face of this small country. Because the country is small, it is not lagging behind in technology, and there is one of the world's most powerful troops: the White Tigers.
At the airport of Wakanda's capital, the old president of Wakanda is preparing to step on a plane to the United States, accompanied by his only son, the only heir of Wakanda, the Black Panther, who is not famous now but will become famous in the future.
Prince: "Do we have to go to the United States?"
King: "Yes, the battle of New York has given us a wake-up call, and Wakanda cannot survive on its own. To unite all the forces that can be united, we need to do what we can do, for Wakanda, for the sake of the planet. ”
The prince nodded.
Another game-breaker has also stepped into the game.
………………
Shenzhen, Huaqiangbei.
The world's largest electronics market. Xiao Zhang is soliciting customers as usual, and now the competition is fierce, and when he sees customers who are likely to do business, he has to find a way to pull business.
Just like he is now, he pulled a middle-aged man to make an introduction: "Don't worry, boss, as long as you ask for it, there is nothing we can't do." As long as you want, we will assemble the starship communicator for you!" Xiao Zhang bragged as always, to make people laugh.
The middle-aged man tilted his head: "You can do an interstellar-level communicator?"
Xiao Zhang smiled: "Bragging, big guy." What is the name of the boss? ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Extraordinary, well, Liang - extraordinary." ”
Another game-breaker who was unplanned by Li Kit also stepped into the game.
The solidified world has been torn apart, and what seemed impossible has been revealed as an active air strike, should you throw yourself into the torrent and be a game-breaker, or be a wall-watcher?
Ready? Old World vs. New World.
