(Because everyone understands relationships, this book does not write any names when describing any political figure unless necessary, and only uses a position as a pronoun.) ）

"The mutants in Tuvalu want white wolves with empty gloves!" said the big man of one of the three major in the U.S. Congress at a private party.

In addition to congressional bigwigs, the deputy secretary of state, who came to the party on behalf of the secretary of state, and agents from the White House attended the private gathering.

The president doesn't want to come in person, because he will be stepping down at the end of the year, and more is better than less. Unlike politicians like Congress and the Secretary of State, the president is the pinnacle of political power in the United States, but it is also the end of political life.

But unless you can create a political family while you're in office, abdication is also the end of your political life. Congress may be re-elected, and the secretary of state may be replaced.

But these politicians can still rise and fall in the political arena, but the president cannot. If you retreat, you will retreat, and go to the farm to write books and raise horses with peace of mind. No new president will like the various forces left behind by the previous president.

So other politicians in Congress are more concerned about Tuvalu than Mr. President, who has already started to buy a farm in Kansas and prepare for his retirement plan in advance.

Because as long as the president gets through these last few months, everything after that has nothing to do with him. And these people can't, as long as they can still hold on to their rights, they don't want to retire.

The drug introduced by Tuvalu seems to be a boon for mutants alone, but it has a great impact on domestic politics in the United States. The congressional boss said with some itchy teeth: "They sent a few pills, and I asked the Food and Drug Administration to concentrate its efforts on testing." And also found two willing experimenters. Both are Epsilon mutants, and the mutant damage side effects are great. They started to get better within three days of the injections. ”

"At present, we are doing follow-up observation in the drug department, and no harm has been found yet. And, as one young female president said, their X-gene activity is fading and will soon be undetectable. The congressional boss said a little dryly.

The deputy secretary of state nodded: "This is a good thing, if this medicine is really useful, it can indeed be purchased in batches." It is not only a matter of considering the needs of the people, but also a lot of politically beneficial factors, which can be seen. ”

The representative of the White House did not go out with his mouth this time, and the president made it very clear, it is enough to listen and watch, and not to talk too much. If there is any problem, the president will discuss it privately with Congress.

"But this is an empty glove white wolf, who neither wants to provide the technology nor can disclose the method. Just let us use crowdfunding to buy this potion. Do you know the risks involved?" The attitude of the congressional bigwigs is actually the attitude of a group of congressional members.

"There's a bit of truth to what you're saying, but have you read the news now? Since the news of Tuvalu's new potion spread, the mutant side has been unstable. Epsilon-class mutants, or some Delta-class mutants (with no major flaws, but at the same time incompetent) can't sit still. These people make up nearly sixty or seventy percent of the entire mutant population!" the Deputy Secretary frowned.

"I've always been against using mutants as a political topic to attack opponents or promote themselves. It's a double-edged sword that can hurt others as well as yourself. We have a huge political blunder in the policy of mutants!"

Regarding the deputy secretary of state's words, the congressional bigwig just looked at him deeply and said: "That's just because Tuvalu is here now, and if Tuvalu is not a-stirring stick, I don't think there is anything wrong with our policy." It was just an accident. ”

"The problem is that this-stirring stick has really stirred up the situation in our country. Now, I've heard that many mutants have begun to figure out how to cross the ocean to Tuvalu. "Mr. Deputy Secretary of State is a bit of a headache.

The United States, and a group of allies led by the United States, have always been less than good in their treatment of mutants, but they have maintained a delicate balance. This makes the mutants not very comfortable, but it is not to the point where they can't live at all.

Everyone is suffering in silence, because there is no hope, and there is no difference between struggling and not struggling. Unless you want to revolutionize as violently as Magneto, how many people have the determination and courage to do so?

More people are moderates who like Professor Charles's way, hoping to subtly change their living environment through time. There is no way to do this, to put it mildly, it is not active at all, and it is a bit negative.

But now that there is a turnaround and a new hope, the news of the X's new potion suddenly explodes in this world. Countless journalists waiting for news in New Zealand have accepted President Katie's invitation.

"Yes, we do develop such new drugs. They are able to alleviate all kinds of ailments caused by the awakening of the X gene. We don't deny that the awakening has some side effects, but we should treat it correctly and find the antidote. Instead of simply shouting and shouting to kill, this is not a good thing for mutants as well as ordinary people. Katie said to reporters.

An Al Jazeera reporter in the audience asked: "If this potion is so good, why not mass production? Let more mutants be helped? Undoubtedly offensive, I don't discriminate against mutants." But there was a couple next door to me who had a mutant child, he was an Ipsilon-class child, and he was originally a healthy child. But the X-gene awakening paralyzed the lower half of his body. Because his legs merge together, like a mermaid in a movie. But life won't be as rosy as the movies. As a side effect, he could no longer run and play, and his parents were in tears all day long. ”

Katie sighed: "I want to help more people, but it's hard. We have financial difficulties, and Tuvalu is a small country and we don't have that much funding to do that. For various reasons, the international community may not be willing to finance us. ”

Katie said it very vaguely, but everyone vaguely guessed what she was talking about. This political factor is always not publicly stated.

As Katie's press conference and what she said, as well as more details about the X-rebirth agent were revealed, those suffering from the mutant lesion couldn't sit still.

I don't have it, but we can raise money! Led by some well-intentioned people (members of the mutant fraternity who act underground), mutants in the United States and other countries suddenly unite in order to have a chance to cure their diseases.

In many cases, this group of people is scattered, but in fact people are like this. If there is no serious persecution, or if there is no common goal under the great temptation, everyone is fighting on their own. After all, it is difficult to manage yourself, how can you manage others?

Magneto's original anti-X plan was like this, allowing the government to oppress mutants excessively, all the way to forcing them all into rebellion. It's a means of uniting everyone.

The other is to let everyone have common demands and common interests. In this way, everyone can also come together. There is no doubt that the X Birth Plan and the Tuvalu Founding Plan are exactly that.

In particular, how attractive the nascent potion is to the Ipsilon class mutants. Many people may be reluctant to join Tuvalu because of various considerations, but they are willing to break the bank for the sake of a new drug.

Not only these Ipsilon-class mutants, but also the family, relatives and friends around these mutants. Not all mutants don't have friends and family.

This is a powerful force, and this unifying force has begun to burn more and more. There is no money? Crowdfunding! There is no suitable platform? We build ourselves! The bill does not allow it? We find a way to promote it! Demonstrations, marches, sit-ins!

This time, the people's demands are very simple, we have endured the rejection of mutants and not working for mutants, and many mutants have to endure the torture of various side effects, and we have endured the inconvenience in life. But now that hope has emerged, we can become ordinary people, we can stay away from the torment of these diseases, and if there is still someone who wants to jump out and stop it?

"We want to live!" This slogan and slogan are not known from where, when, and by whom.

But it soon spread everywhere, not just in the United States. Ipsilon-class and Delta-class mutants in many countries, as well as a small number of beta-class mutants, joined the protest march.

They are protesting against the government's inaction. At the same time, they are complaining that they want to crowdfund Tuvalu's pharmaceutical production line through cross-border fundraising, but they are blocked by the Ministry of Finance (billions or more of dollars flow overseas in this way, and there is no value creation, and the financial department of any country will block it).

You don't save us, and you don't let us save ourselves?!

The Secretary of State and the Congressional bigwigs are really in the brains! Katie of Tuvalu: What do you think she did wrong in this matter? At least not on a moral level. As for the political level? Well, it's not the same political system that doesn't matter if it's right or wrong.

And now the demonstrations and marches are really starting to unite mutants. Originally scattered mutants didn't have much influence on the country, but when a group began to unite and coalesce from a scattered group of hundreds of thousands of individuals into a whole of millions of people, then its energy was immeasurable.

"What a-stirring stick!" the congressional boss couldn't sleep at night thinking about the recent situation. Tuvalu is already the biggest-stirring stick in his opinion, but is that really the case?

Someone has advanced a huge profit for the next twenty years, and the super-stirring stick that he bought has not yet worked. Once this super-stirring stick is activated, then the congressional bigwigs will not be able to sleep, and it is estimated that they will want to die.

And someone's super--stirring stick has now returned to its own turf: Latvia. Dom, wearing an iron mask, said to his chancellor of the exchequer: "If I spend some money on good deeds, will it make Latvia and my reputation better?"

At the beginning of the month, what about the monthly pass? Vote for it! Everyone!
