Chapter Ninety-Four: The Lobbyist
"What? You guys made it all up? Impossible, impossible! The president invited Steve in, hoping to use his prestige to quell the riots outside, but as soon as Steve sat down, he said straight to the point that this bill exists, and the riots outside have his own plan, and he came to ask the president to go outside to admit the authenticity of this bill and the possibility of passing. All this came so fast that he was a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't believe it and couldn't agree, so he yelled there.
"Calm down, president, it's okay to have a little momentum, listen to me first." Steve frowned.
"How calm down, you are treasonous, come on!" Although Steve only admitted it verbally and had no actual evidence, the president still wanted to ask him out, but he didn't help, and he was quite good at making trouble.
A dozen thick dossiers were smashed directly in front of the president, and the photos and descriptions on them were enough for the president to clearly understand what this meant. "You call someone in, and the next minute, these things will spread all over the United States." Steve's cold voice came. The security guard on duty outside had already heard the inside of the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the president say, "Clear everyone around, including you, this is a confidential conversation." The security personnel answered, closed the door and left.
Steve gave a thumbs up to the witty president and waited for his next step. The president also calmed down at this time, and quietly looked at the file on his desk, every place recorded on it, every piece of oral evidence, every photograph that made him frightened. This is a global attack on the mutant research institutions or organizations that Lie, Magneto, and Charles have been fighting in the past few years. A total of 163 illegal mutant research institutes have been taken out, and there are 100 in their own country alone, distributed in each state.
Moreover, these institutions and organizations all have the shadow of the government or parliamentary members behind them, and some of them have been handled by him. He knows very well that if Steve really spreads these things throughout the United States, he doesn't dare to say anything else, and he, the president, probably won't even be able to end his term, and he will have to step down, and he will be ruined. There will definitely be a great upheaval in the country, this kind of inhumane research is simply a concentration camp during World War II, this kind of thing happens in the country that claims to be the most free in the world, you can imagine how photogenic the turmoil is, mutants will not be sit-in and demonstrate like now, but will start with the government to carry out armed resistance, when I think of this, the president's cold sweat is like rain, crazy falling.
"Do you know what the consequences of doing so are? You're Captain America. The president was shocked.
"Yes, like you said, I'm Captain America, not Captain America. I've only slept for 70 years, and our national government has done so many dirty things, is such a government needed? Do the people need it? Steve asked rhetorically.
Well, the argument of righteousness seems to be untenable, and the president gave up and asked straight to the point: "Then what are you going to do with me?" Speak up at the UN? I can't do that, it's going to be discussed. The president said with difficulty.
"You have to do it, Mr. President, if anybody in Congress thinks it's not right, show them this thing, see if it's their own life that matters, or if it's important to give up some of their interests."
"What the hell are you trying to do, Steve!"
"Give this country a new lease of life!" The president was stunned, and then he listened to Steve: "Look at what you look like now, Mr. President, the separation of powers is supposed to make this country stronger and more stable. No matter how the president says it, he is also the leader of a country, and how he lives depends on the faces of those parliamentarians and capitalists? It's a turbulent time, and you still want to suppress mutants, and these mutants are getting in your way? Don't keep making excuses for yourself, you know why Magneto went against us back then. ”
The president was silent, but Steve continued: "Listen, this is an opportunity, a chance for your first strength. You can take this dossier and talk to the guys who have been pointing fingers at you, and you can either be obedient or get out of the way and die. There is no shortage of high-ranking capitalists in this country. And as you are about to end your term, you will give a good answer to the next term when you leave office, and everyone will remember you as an enlightened president who thinks about the people. ”
Steve's words were like deadly but seductive poison in the president's head, and he retained the most basic sanity and asked, "What's in it for you?" ”
"If anything, the country will become more of a superpower than a rogue."
After saying that, Steve left, he said everything that should be said, and the rest depends on whether the president has the courage or not, if the politicians who will only sit and eat and wait for death do not agree, he really doesn't mind the country being in chaos for a while. You have to be ruthless to cut off a piece of flesh so that the country can be renewed. But he didn't make it difficult for the president, texting him into his phone and leaving, believing he would know what to do.
Sure enough, the president in his office looked at the files, thought about what Steve had told him, and as if he had made a decision, he went out with his secretary directly, and he was ready to do something big in front of the large group of demonstrators sitting quietly in front of the White House. Back at his lodgings, Steve saw a real-time news start on TV, and the president admitted the truth of the bill in front of the White House, and told him that it was not made public because it was a global issue, but because of some impatient mutants, he had to tell now.
This news report has caused a global sensation, and even the leaders of the current world superpowers have spoken, and other countries have to pinch their noses and admit it even if they are reluctant. At the same time, at the meeting of the Congress, the president was rarely tough, and directly smashed the dossier in front of every congressman, and the neutral one watched the excitement, the hostile one looked at the joke, and the face in it was ugly. The president also said that what has happened cannot be covered up, now is the time to make amends, don't keep making a fuss about mutants, the current world pattern, they can't help being arrogant there.
On the other hand, after the US president made this report, the big eastern country also carefully considered Zheng Xian's suggestion, with strong energy technology as a condition, what to do is to implement the national policy guidelines, speak out, be an example, no matter how you look at it, you will not lose. After the decision was made, the news was also reported to Lie over there, and the bigwigs at the top reached a consensus, and the rest of the small fish and shrimp, Lie didn't care very much, all he needed was a voice and an attitude, and there were still people behind him to do this, and there was also a place to stand.
Soon, the United Nations conference was officially convened a week later, and after everyone had received a share of the oil and water, the main event came. First, Zuma, who had Babwe, spoke out, saying that the mutants on their side had contributed the most in this battle, and proposed that the "Mutant Human Rights Bill" in their own country be implemented around the world for the future. Then the countries that were greeted by the bigwigs of the two sides also seconded the proposal, and finally after the spokespersons of China and the West agreed, the dust was basically settled.
When the news broke, the world was in a sensation. Many mutants shed tears and hugged each other. I can finally stand in the sun. The core of the bill in the meeting is that mutants enjoy all human rights, mutants are a branch of human beings, not aliens and monsters, mutants need to verify their identity when registering their ID cards, but they can choose not to disclose their abilities, and the rest is left to countries to operate according to their national conditions. At the same time, the Mutant Brotherhood, which is the two major factions among the mutants, and Xavier School for Gifted Teens have also become public.
The Mutant Brotherhood has become the Mutant World Watch Organization, specializing in dealing with injustice and repression in various countries with regard to mutants, and Charles's school has also become a base for the education of mutants' abilities, allowing the opening of branch schools in countries around the world, not only for mutants, but also for all superpowers and ordinary people. Of course, these are not the results of fierce manipulation, but the result of negotiations between Charles, Magneto and the American team and many bigwigs.
Charles and Magneto were watching this group of jubilant students at the school at this time, and for many years, they were running around for the future of mutants, and they turned against each other. Up to now, the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, and the piano has been reborn. Gray still thought about what Lie had told her at that time, two years, would give her an answer, and he did it.
"Marx, it's okay, the situation is getting better now, Wanda, I'll find them." The old friend on the side saw Magneto's face looking at these children with a lonely look, and he quickly comforted him after having known each other for many years.
"I know, Charles. I just didn't expect that when he was still a weak child in Gotham, he really made the world turn for him, and I was happy for Wanda. She has a family that never gives up on her. Magneto also sighed at the impermanence of the world, and suddenly thought that if his daughter was found, and his youngest daughter was now also focused on Lie, he would inexplicably become a nameless fire.
If he really wanted to come to something, he was thinking about Lie, so he came over, with Diana by his side. And Lorna was also happy at the moment, and flew over directly, completely ignoring the murderous gaze of Diana next to her and her old father behind her. Lie also knew that his affairs on the earth were over, and he still had to go to the country of light, although this world was a hybrid universe, he also had to go to the country of light to find out the relationship between the globe and the country of light, as well as the status of the country of light in the universe, and there were only some things to explain here.
"Professor, is there a way to find Wanda?" As soon as he came, Lie asked directly, this is what he has to solve now, otherwise he will not be able to leave the earth with peace of mind. Hearing Lie's caring words, Magneto's face also softened a lot.
"Don't be in such a hurry, Lie. You know, I don't have Wanda's brain waves, and now I can only sift through political means one by one, what's wrong? Charles didn't understand why Suddenly Lie was in such a hurry.
It seems that things are not in a hurry, and after reviving the memories of his previous life, he didn't go to Sokovia to find it. In my previous life, I saw Avengers 2, and I also had some impressions of this. It's just that this is a hybrid universe, and the plot of the former movie can only be used as a reference, there is no trace of Wanda and Pete Luo, not even Hydra or anything, so he has to give up.
"Because I'm going to be away from Earth for a while, I want to solve it as soon as possible." Lie also replied truthfully.
"Leave? When? ”
"Now. During my absence, I will trouble you to investigate more, and I will also say hello to the others, and discuss and solve anything together. After speaking, as if thinking of something, he glanced at the piano behind Charles, "Can you work hard during this time on Earth?" ”
Qin snorted coldly and replied. glanced at the people around him, and the group of children who came around. Diana gave him a reassuring look, Lorna was reluctant, never thought that she would have such a good life, I must protect you! In any case, now that he is a living creature in this universe, when he did not recover the memories of his previous life before, he fought to the death for them, and now that he understands it, it is even more impossible to let go. As for his family in his previous life, he can only say that life and death are fateful.
Immediately, he directly incarnated into the Ultraman form, floating in the air, and flew away with a bow to everyone, and the children who were still watching the excitement waved goodbye to the departing spirit. Lie's departure attracted the attention of many parties, Gotham, Batman stood on the stone statue of the gargoyle and watched the departing Lie not know what to think, Natasha was grabbing a criminal on the swing. In Metropolis, Superman is shopping with Hill, and a colleague at work is having a headache because of a coincidence, and then his super vision is staring at the sky, silent.
In the Stark Tower, Tony is working on a new technology, and the mech in front of him is bigger than ever, and this is still a part. Hearing the news of Jarvis's report that Lie had left, he smiled and said, "Are you leaving?" I haven't paid back the favor I owe you, so I'll surprise you when you come back. "The Helicarrier, Seaside, Canterlot, the capital, the heroes of all sides seem to look at the sky with a sense of feeling, offering their blessings.
At this time in the underground base of a concentration camp in Germany. A man with a red skull-shaped face was closing his eyes when suddenly a man with one-sided glasses came in. Seeing the skeleton recuperating on the Iron Throne, Ear whispered in his ear, "Ultraman Geralt has left Earth. ”
When the red skull heard the news, he slowly opened his yin owl eyes. Stand up, press a button, and you're on another level. It's a secret room with his own weapons. A silver phantom youth running around, a young girl radiating red energy around her, and a little giant with gray skin and three steel claws on each hand sleeping and a machine working on it. "Since the patron saint of the earth feels that he has retired, it is time for us to do it." The red skull's eyes glowed with a light called ambition.
The guy next to him, as well as a group of busy scientists and soldiers below, shouted in unison, "Hooray, Hail Hydra."
