Chapter 311: I'm Happy
"Doom has seriously infringed upon the interests of the United States by doing so!" The congressional bigwig was furious: "He is nakedly declaring war on US authority, and he is despising us!"
The big guy's anger is justified. Because Doom's statement is very direct, he makes it clear that he wants to frame the US government. Think about it, the United States has a population of 300 million, and even if the probability of mutant birth is 1 in 1,000, then there are 300,000 mutants in the United States.
For a country of 300 million people, 300,000 people is not a lot, but it is not a lot. There are about 70 percent Delta-class mutants in these 300,000 miles, that is, ordinary mutants like Bob the Submarine and Mr. William Bright Fingers.
This mutant's ability is basically useless, but it won't do them any great harm. There are also 20 percent epsilon levels, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this part of the population is living in dire straits.
The remaining 10 percent are a small number of gamma classes (capable but flawed), even smaller beta classes (capable but not flawed), and a rare alpha class (powerful but not flawed). As for the legendary omega level, the US government has not really mastered the information of these people at present. Professor X keeps his two omega-class mutants (Iceman and Phoenix Girl) very secret.
The work of mutants is also something that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been dealing with. A balanced policy is pursued in accordance with the wishes of the Government. This policy has never changed with the change of leadership of S.H.I.E.L.D. Whether the director is Nick Fury or Maria Hill, there's nothing they can do about it.
This balancing act has always been well executed, and Professor Charles, a moderate leader, has been trying to calm the mood of the mutants. The students who came out of Xavier's School for the Gifted and Talented were also a huge force in Charles's hands.
For so many years, no politician wanted to truly solve the mutant problem once and for all. Because this kind of thing is troublesome. As is the case with many things, it is difficult to stop the car once you drive a bad head, especially if you are a vested interest in this matter, it is even more impossible to jump out and do anything.
In fact, 300,000 mutants, plus their relatives and friends, the size of these people has reached millions. The U.S. government's balancing act has worked for so many years, so no one wants to wipe their ass with mutant things.
Because politics is like this: what you do is not necessarily good, but it is not necessarily bad if you don't do it. People in high positions need to minimize risk, and while maximizing benefits sounds tempting, the risks are just as high. For people in high positions, sometimes the risks are more important than the benefits.
But when a bigger risk comes, some people subconsciously think about how to shirk responsibility, instead of thinking about why they didn't solve the matter sooner and put the matter more and more serious.
For example, this mutant potion incident. Doom's seemingly bland and cold speech actually dropped a bombshell on the whole world.
He took out billions of dollars for free and asked for the exclusive authorization of a new drug. This is something that sends chills down the back of the country's heads after confirming with President Katie of Tuvalu that the information is true.
"Do you know that this is not a good thing for Tuvalu? To cooperate with him is to isolate oneself from the international community!" said the American and British representatives, who came to Tuvalu on behalf of the political forces behind them.
"There's no way around it, we're short of funds. And Doom has shown his sincerity, and he has already started to deliver all kinds of supplies to help us set up the production line. For us, helping mutants comes first, and political considerations come second. In the face of political pressure from the United States and other countries, Katie did not back down at all.
"For me, it's not politics, it's humanity and morality. There is no room for bargaining when it comes to helping my fellow citizens!"
Katie's statement was righteous and in line with Tuvalu's purpose: "As I said a long time ago, this is not a matter of a country or a polity, but a choice of human nature. I made my choice, and I am worthy of conscience and justice. I'm worthy of it!"
The British and American representatives choked on what they wanted to say next. Because at this time, they realized that they were not facing a cunning politician. Politicians analyze gains and losses, and estimate risks.
And Katie, she's just a girl under twenty years old, and she still has the naivety of believing that there is justice in this world. To put it mildly, it's a little second child, you want to analyze the gains and losses with her? I guess it's no fun, people are already standing on the moral high ground to torture you, and you're still talking about a fart!
This is another benefit of being young. If Katie were in her thirties now, she would probably be seen as having ulterior motives for saying these things. But now that she is less than twenty, some people really believe this, and believe that she thinks so in her heart.
And after that, Katie also made a public statement on her personal blog. It's about the Tuvalu and Latville cooperation program. The partnership is not permanent, but a twenty-year underwriting agreement.
In other words, Tuvalu exchanged the right to sell the new drug for the next two decades for billions of financial support from Latvia.
Inside the White House.
The congressional bigwig burst into a rage: "Doom is crazy! He is really crazy! What good is he doing by doing this?
The old god of the president is there: "No, at least he got happiness, this is the biggest gain." ”
Mr. President is right, if Doom knows that the top of the United States can jump up and down and be angry about his actions. Then he should be happy to eat two more baguettes for dinner.
The impact of Doom's remarks on the global side has fluctuated dramatically, for example, in the United States, where there have been real applications for Latvian survivors. And I don't know if Doom deliberately blocked the U.S. government, and he let these people quickly approve their applications.
The first hundred Epsilon class mutants joined Latvia. Doom also held a grand ceremony, and he spared no expense to come to a TV show that was broadcast live around the world.
At the scene, Doom issued resident cards to all mutants who joined Latville, and also issued them with injections of new life potions. The side effects of these epsilon-class mutants are very large, and to put it mildly, some people's side effects make them almost close to death.
Doom had the 100 epsilon-class mutants injected with a new life potion. and held a live presentation that was broadcast live around the world. Including the display screen in Times Square in New York, USA, he had people hack into it, and then the screen was switched to his speech. (Dr. Hank & Tony Stark: We really don't like to do this kind of thing, like we're the villain's minions.) )
"Behold, citizens of the great land of the free, behold the tall buildings around you. Everything that you feel excites and is proud of. Look at how much filth and ugliness is hidden underneath them! Some people don't think of people as adults, they are lowly ants. It seems that everything can be kneaded and trampled by those who are high up and down at will. Life is not respected, and every day I accuse my country of not respecting human rights!" Doom snorted.
"Those people are pointing to my country (Latvia) that there is no freedom, no democracy, no justice, haha, but they don't know to look back at themselves, because at least in my country, my citizens have the right to live!" said Doom, pointing to the Epsilon variants.
"These are the people who have fled from the great land of freedom. The superior does not save the lives of these people, and at the same time does not allow these people to save themselves. Doom pointed to himself: "I am called the world's greatest dictator, and I say bluntly that Latvia is my personal property! But I cherish my personal property, just as you cherish your own handmade carpet or smart TV." ”
Doom pointed in the direction of the TV camera: "And what about the countries that proclaim freedom and justice? Who is in charge? Who is the master of those countries? Is it you in front of the screen, or are you the people who are on high in the sky! My country is said to be very oppressive, with no room to breathe, no free discussion." But beyond that, my people have it all. They have food, they have jobs, they have income, they have the right to survive!"
Dum said in a solemn tone: "And you? You may have freedom, but you probably have nothing but freedom! As for why I am doing this televised speech and invading the United States and other countries for you to see this video, because I know that my speech will make a group of people sit still and jump up and down. I know all this, I love it. I felt more pleasure than ever before in making those in high positions restless!hahahahahahaha!" Doom's laughter was indescribably cheerful.
