Chapter 153: The Illuminati of the Head
Peaceful, absolutely quiet. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This is the current situation of the new round of meetings of the Illuminati. The five members of the Illuminati sat around the round conference table and said nothing.
Captain Rogers was staring at his shield as if he had seen some incredible work of art from above, keeping him glued intently, as if nothing else could distract him.
And Li Jie is sitting in the chair and gnawing on his index knuckles, as if his index finger is delicious.
Charles and Hank frowned, and they didn't want to say a word. The first to lose his breath in this oppressive atmosphere was Tony Stark.
He couldn't help but say to Professor X and the beast, "Please, two, can you two say something?!" Charles, you woke us up from the middle of the night. And all of a sudden, tell us, one of your students founded a country in the Pacific, what's that country called?"
Li Jie picked up Tony's words: "Tuvalu." ”
"Yes, Tuvalu!" Tony nodded and said, "A truly sovereign country! And now it is inexplicably recognized by the international community, to be honest." This student of yours has really given us a huge [surprise]!"
Charles and Hank were silent, and the two of them didn't know how to respond to this. The closure of Xavier's School for the Gifted and Talented did not expect to cause such a big change.
And Li Jie, who was listening to Tony's complaints, also felt that his toothache hurt. The world is getting more and more out of the realm of his imagination, and a seventeen-year-old girl has actually established a mutant island nation in the Pacific Ocean.
And it is still legal and recognized by the international community. Although it is quite possible that the rest of the international community does not know what country they recognize.
"A mutant country, Charles! not your kind of school, this is a country. Do you know what that means?" said Tony, a little frustrated.
It can be said that the people of the Illuminati are gathered here today because of this unexpected event. No one could have guessed that Katie would build a nation. It can be said that everyone's first reaction was to be scared by what this girl had done.
Charles's lips moved, and finally forced a smile: "It means that the effort I have done in the past fifty years is not as good as that of a seventeen-year-old girl?" he deliberately wanted to change the topic, and said lightly.
"Professor. We probably don't have time for jokes right now. Li Jie exhaled and said seriously: "The establishment of a real mutant country will become a target. ”
Li Jie began to speak his thoughts seriously, and the others listened carefully, and their faces became more and more solemn.
"From a certain point of view, a mutant country will give all mutants a place to yearn for and identify with. It's different from your school, professor. Because not all mutants will go to your school. But as soon as Katie's country is made public, a country that global mutants want is born!"
Li Jie touched his temples and felt that his head was big: "Then this will become a benchmark for all mutants, something that can be predicted." There will be many mutants who have a natural affection for the country, whether they want to join the country or not. Will they openly support Tuvalu, but in their hearts they may have a natural sense of identity with this country. ”
"And how many mutants are scattered around the world?" Li Jie glanced at Charles.
Charles closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "According to what I found from the brainwave booster, it should be close to about eleven million." ”
"Eleven million, that's not a low number. That's more than the entire population of some small countries. "Eleven million is really not much compared to the world's population of more than 7 billion people. The percentage of mutants is less than 1 in 700.
But in terms of the total population, the mutants scattered around the world are still terrifying if they are grouped together. Especially when most of these mutants have extraordinary abilities.
"This country will have a natural appeal. Just like the founding of Israel back then. Although not all Jews will become Israeli citizens, we remember the global Jewish mobilization during the founding of the country. Countless supplies and funds poured into the scene of this newly formed country. "What Li Jie said is actually one thing that everyone is worried about.
That is, the establishment of Israel by the Jews was not a peaceful state, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not been truly resolved to this day. Not to mention the four Middle East wars in the early years of statehood. The countries of the Arab world united to fight four terrible wars against Israel, which earned Israel its current territorial size and status as a regional power.
It was the tens of millions of Jews around the world who supported the newly formed nation of Israel in its resistance to these brutal battles. They draw on their connections and abilities from all over the world.
Countless mothers have sent their children from all over the world to the battlefields of Israel just to win the battle for nationhood. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers rushed to Israel from all over the world, and even though they knew that the battlefield was a meat grinder, countless people never looked back.
And then there were the Jews who had gone bankrupt to support the founding of the nation. These people are not in the minority. Because this people have experienced horrific massacres and discrimination, when a truly own country emerges, it has an unprecedented sense of appeal and belonging.
And the situation of mutants is not much better than that of the Jews back then, and if Katie had announced to the world today that Tuvalu was a mutant country, Tuvalu would probably have received an astronomical amount of foreign aid and immigration applications tomorrow.
Charles's eyes were a little complicated and anxious: "Katie, Katie, she just wants to build a [home] for mutants." She didn't have any rights or ambitions. Tuvalu is also not Israel. ”
Li Jie agrees with what Charles said, because he and Katie are also good friends. The girl is a gentle and kind person.
"Yes, Professor. If it weren't for the fact that this student of yours is still quite sane at the moment, he wouldn't have made all of this public until now. And she doesn't have much ambition, so I'm afraid we're not sitting here in a meeting now. And most likely, it is preparing for a war. Tony said meaningfully.
When everyone fell silent, unable to figure out what to do with this new mutant nation. Captain Rodgers, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke: "I think this is actually a good thing in a way. ”
