Chapter 67: Two or Three Things After the War

On the first day after the Battle of London, Mycroft officially submitted a detailed plan for the wizarding problem.

He named the proposal.

Part of the plan was to restructure Kingsman.

An agent codenamed Arthur was in charge of the selection of ordinary people; The agent, codenamed Merlin, was responsible for recruiting a team of wizards.

He mentions: Using this as an example and template, a new type of combat method in which wizards and ordinary people can fight together is finally achieved.

And, he believes, now is the perfect time to 'accept wizards as legal citizens of the UK'.

"You're playing with fire."

Obviously, not everyone can accept wizards who are different from ordinary people, and one government official directly objected, saying, "No one knows what these wizards are like." They obviously have extraordinary or special abilities that are higher than ordinary people, and if we fail to control and restrain them, it will inevitably bring great danger to society, and who should bear the consequences? ”

McCroft replied calmly: "Guns and ammunition were also dangerous when they first appeared, but they are still used by humans today. What's more, under the premise that the United States has established S.H.I.E.L.D. and has recruited many 'superheroes', Britain itself is already in a backward state in this regard, and if it continues to maintain its previous evasive attitude and does not make preparations in this regard, then what happened in London yesterday will be repeated. ”

He calmly continued: "There is never a saying of absolute security in war. ”

"As for harnessing and restraint, my proposal itself is designed for that purpose. It is reasonable and wise to accept them, to incorporate the danger into the rules we have set in advance, and to make them controllable. It will be even more dangerous and unpredictable if we do not accept shamans and continue to let them wander outside the government and the law in the form of an illegal organization. ”

Everyone was silent, and they couldn't help but bow their heads in contemplation.

"If people are really concerned about that part of the danger, then of course we can keep it as it is."

Mycroft made a smirk-not-not-smile look.

The officials of the British government couldn't help but raise their heads in unison and look at him with inquiring eyes.

However, Mycroft simply smiled and said, "Next time." ”

He repeated: "The next time we encounter an alien event like yesterday, we can call the United States directly, please...... No, beg them to send someone to save us. ”

"Are you joking?" A military official immediately protested, "Britain has never needed the United States to intervene." ”

"Then what are you going to do if you sue me?" McCroft politely asked, "In the face of such an unconventional armed force, do you have to rely on the blood of the people and soldiers to resist?" ”

"But there won't always be aliens attacking Earth, and aliens are inevitably too idle."

The military officer said something funny, and then, with a frown, asked carefully, "Sherlock Holmes, do you think that something like that that is rare in hundreds of years will happen again?" ”

"I don't know." Mycroft raised an eyebrow and laughed.

In a calm tone, he stated a fact: "All I know is that the legend of wizards has always appeared in history since the founding of our country. Although many wizards were born without being registered with the government, they always referred to themselves as 'the British wizarding world'. ”

"So, I don't think it's too difficult to accept a group of 'British wizards' compared to aliens who want to rule the earth."

"Mycroft, you've forgotten what you said most important." For the first time, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has spoken out about his views.

He said mildly, "I haven't said anything about wizards publicly before this. But in fact, I, as well as the former Prime Minister, and our esteemed Majesty the Queen, have all dealt with wizards. ”

Everyone looked at the Prime Minister in surprise, but McCroft looked as usual.

He bowed slightly politely: "I don't think I should mention this matter without your permission and His Majesty's permission." ”

"There's nothing unspeakable about that. I confess that I have been attacked and threatened by wizards. The Prime Minister smiled unexpectedly.

He calmly continued, "Not all wizards are friendly to ordinary people. Some of them are disgusted with the existence of ordinary people, believing that the marriage of wizards and ordinary people will eventually lead to the loss of the sorcerer's bloodline and the extinction of the sorcerer; The other part of the wizards believes that ordinary people have no special abilities and need protection. ”

He paused, "About four or five years ago, an internal war broke out in the wizarding world. At that time, terrorists in the wizarding world tried to assassinate me to cause chaos. Thankfully, their Minister of Magic at the time, a respectable lady, sent someone to protect me. ”

"Subsequently, Her Majesty informed me that around the 17th century, wizards had asked the reigning Queen Mary II and her husband, William III, for legal recognition and protection of wizards. But for some religious reasons at the time, Mary II refused their request. From then on, the wizard went underground and was completely hidden. ”

"After learning this information, I realized that we can no longer ignore the existence of the wizard community."

"Especially in recent years, they have gradually developed into a large ethnic group, and if they continue to be left unchecked, they will become a potential threat to the United Kingdom. But the threat itself can be avoided......"

"Because, as Mycroft said, they are the British wizarding world."

The Prime Minister deliberately accentuated the word 'Britain', emphatically saying, "They belong to Britain and are part of Britain." ”

"Yes, you guessed right." The Prime Minister continued: "Mycroft's actions were all at my behest. ”

"I hope that he will use his ingenuity to help us find a way for wizards to integrate safely and smoothly into modern society. Of course, he never let me down at this point. ”

"Although this alien incident was a sudden and unprepared attack for us, the rescue of the wizards has also shown that the mainstream thinking of the wizarding society is still positive and friendly. This is also an opportunity for us. ”

Everyone present lowered their heads in contemplation, and behind them, the red, blue and white rice flags fluttered in the wind.

"I'm not against accepting wizards." Finally, a cabinet official hesitated, "But are we really ready?" It's not the same as in the United States. They just need to convince those few superheroes. But the wizards of our country are not so simple as a dozen or twenty people......"

"Yes, gentlemen." "We weren't prepared," McCroft said. And we can never guarantee that we'll be absolutely ready, if we don't do it. ”

"But I just want to say that time waits for no one, guys."

"Before, we didn't believe in aliens, but now aliens have appeared. Before, we thought that wizards belonged to fairy tales, and now, wizards have also appeared. ”

"What's next? Earth-friendly, or hostile? What will be the impact on the UK? ”

Mycroft said slowly, and then he looked around at everyone in the room with a solemn gaze: "I don't dare to bet on this unknown lightly. I did wish I had a little more time to prepare, but I didn't...... In fact, what is before us is that times have changed, the world has changed, and Britain must also change. ”

"So, are we going to rely on a bunch of wizards who don't know if they can be trusted, or if they can't be trusted?" An official interjected.

"Not by dependence." McCroft replied calmly: "Yes, we need them, to protect Britain, to protect the planet, to protect humanity." ”

"America has their Captain America, Iron Man."

"Britain should also have its own strength."

"And the wizard is the best choice right now."

While Mycroft is fighting for the rights of wizards, discussing the role of wizards in future wars, their obligations, how to target hostile wizards, and how to gradually and safely and smoothly transition wizards into a series of measures in normal modern society, Daniel Black is working on a conversation with Captain America.

Due to the fact that London was very badly destroyed by alien mechs.

Therefore, the residence used for the Avengers to stay temporarily was only a temporary requisitioned house, which was very simple.

Nick Fury ran early in the morning to be with a group of government officials, not knowing what to discuss.

Natasha accompanied Hawkeye to the medical center.

Hawkeye has been dizzy in his brain since he was controlled by Loki.

Dr. Banner always subconsciously avoids crowded places, and if no one calls him, he will hide in his room alone and not come out.

So only Team America and Iron Man are left in the living room.

Tony Stark was in the corner, busy banging on his tattered armor.

On the other hand, Moriarty didn't want to meet with McCroft and left before that.

Daniel was left alone here, and he happily had a good time alone with the American team.

He surrounded the blonde man, his eyes full of adoration, and he longed to recite to him a sonnet of Shakespeare: "You are my idol, my spiritual light, my mentor in life...... I've always felt that you're a real man...... Can you teach me how to fight? Teach me how to make my pectoral muscles so big? How to ......"

Seriously, Captain America was a little intimidated by him.

It's not like he hasn't met fans before, such as a certain S.H.I.E.L.D. agent whose hairline is receding every year, but most of the fans still have a little respect for his feelings.

Like Daniel, the outspoken praise and flattery, coupled with a bunch of feverish uncomfortable questions, made the reserved Steve Rogers smile a little awkwardly.

But because he thought of Agent Coulson, who unfortunately died, he subconsciously wanted to have a better attitude towards his 'fans'.

But I still didn't know how to deal with it, and I felt that it would be rude not to answer, so I had to respond to him briefly: "Thank you." ”

Then, he paused for a moment, trying to keep up with the other's train of thought amid Daniel's chattering ramblings.

For this reason, he even tried to think about what he should say, so as not to seem so boring and outdated.

Halfway through, he cautiously said, "Uh...... Your show is good, I mean...... I've seen ...... After reading it, I thought it was very interesting. ”

"What?" Daniel's gushing praise stuck, he blinked his blue eyes, and asked suspiciously, "The show?" ”

"The Daily Life of Wizards - The English Chapter."

The U.S. team honestly replied, "I saw it while watching TV the other day. The British wizarding world is really interesting, and the magic looks interesting too. But most of all, I think the point you make in the documentary is very correct. ”

Then, with a very upright attitude, he repeated Daniel's narration in the documentary very seriously:

"There is no difference between nobles and commoners, what really deserves everyone's respect is never blood, but the size of the responsibility on the shoulders and the amount of contribution to society."

"Oh, boy......" Daniel's expression immediately froze.

He suddenly realized something, after he deliberately refused to answer his agent's call because he was too busy...... Mr. Broker seems to have been a long, long, long time...... I didn't urge him to go on the show anymore, do publicity, and increase exposure.

And for an agent who loves to oppress the artists under him......

The only reason for him to compromise is only one: the exposure is enough!

He began to desperately think back to the pseudo-documentary clips that he had happily edited and produced in his agent's mailbox a long time ago...... Tears were almost falling.

That damn badass agent must have been resentful that he hung up on him......

So, I took it upon myself to send out those documentaries in advance.

'It's over! ’

Daniel thought desperately, 'If Lucius and Sissi had known, they would have hunted me down and broken off my friendship......

"What show, why haven't I watched it?" Tony Stark's voice rang out from behind him.

He seemed to have just finished work, with those big eyes open, a curious look, and while clicking and biting on potato chips, he looked at Daniel curiously: "You still participate in the show, what show?" American Idol? ”

This sentence saved Daniel from tears at once.

He turned around suddenly, almost pounced on Captain America, and asked sincerely with tears in his eyes: "Captain, please tell me, which TV station are you watching?" ”

"Uh......" Captain America was a little panicked by him, but he still tried to think seriously for a while before shaking his head apologetically and said, "Sorry, I don't remember much." It's just that after turning on the TV, I accidentally saw it, is there something wrong? ”

He asked uneasily and with concern, "Or did I say something wrong?" If it's me saying something wrong, don't mind. ”

"Who cares about the elderly? Can you expect a 90-year-old man to know what is popular and what trendy TV station to watch? Tony Stark stood aside casually and complained, and handed over the potato chips by the way, saying, "Just think about it, it's better to know that there are ten TV stations that only broadcast boring documentaries and news reports!" Captain, have you learned to surf the Internet? Do you know Twitter and YouTube?"

"Yes, I'm over 90 years old. I don't know how to surf the internet and I don't know Twitter or YouTube. Steve waved his hand, rejected Tony's potato chips, and replied calmly, "But that doesn't stop me from fighting on the battlefield, Tony." ”

Ignore the disagreement between the two people (in fact, it is much better than when they first met).

Daniel felt like he was alive all at once.

It doesn't look like much, it's not very widespread. He pondered as he comforted himself, "English wizards have only recently learned to watch television. If you look at a TV station so far away in the United States, you know that it is impossible if you think about it. Really, don't scare yourself. ”

However, after such a fuss, he also lost his mind to chase stars for a while.

Just now, the text message prompt from the mobile phone sounded, he took out the phone and looked at the screen:

"Waiting for you to eat, ByJim."

The nervousness subsided, but the feeling of embarrassment, which was a little strange and strange, rose back to my heart.

Daniel was a little at a loss how to reply to Moriarty.

He stared at the phone screen in annoyance, startled.

"Huh~? Taste has picked up again. ”

Tony Stark caught a glimpse of the Stark Manufacturing logo on his phone and immediately casually teased.

"But sometimes the signal in the wizarding world is not very good." Daniel replied with an agreeing text message, and at the same time gave the manufacturer a serious feedback on the product: "Mr. Stark, can you get a signal booster or something?" ”

"Bad signal? No way. Tony glanced over again and said dryly, "You're outdated." Now Starkphone has been updated to the sixth generation, and you are still a second-generation machine. ”

"Impossible! I only bought it a few months ago! Daniel yelled depressedly, "I obviously said it, I want the latest model." ”

"Remember not to run to find a purchasing agent in the future for the sake of being greedy for a small bargain or a small gift or something."

Tony Stark munched on potato chips and patiently admonished him, "Look for the official brick-and-mortar store designated by Stark." ”
