Chapter 193: Brutal Development
"So, they think we're traitors?" Captain America can't believe his ears, superheroes fight for the survival of the United States in New York, and in the end they are actually regarded as a premeditated rebellion, the culprit of the destruction of New York?
"On the basis of? Is it because they are the government that everyone else believes it? Captain America unwillingly asked, how could superheroes make so many contributions to the United States because of a word from a government spokesperson!
Flickering sighed and explained helplessly, "They intercepted the audio of the communication at the scene as evidence, and your voice confirmed that you who were listed as rebels were all on the battlefield in New York at the time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Of course it's on the spot! But we are assisting the US military in the fight as a friendly force, and no one has thought of it? Of course, he also guessed that the audio of the testimony must have been edited to conceal the most crucial information. But even so, the American people should think that the superheroes fought side by side with the U.S. military rather than hostile battles, so how could it be that the superheroes must have started the rebellion?
For this question, Flicker was about to say something, but looking at Captain America's eager gaze, she had no choice but to hold back her discomfort and say truthfully: "Part of the audio shows that you, as the leader of the rebel army, tricked the American soldiers present to disobey the order to join the traitorous lineup and succeeded, causing a large number of troops to rebel and join the enemy. U.S. Army General Wilder left a testimony on the spot, and you were the one who spearheaded the rebellion・・・・・・"
Captain America immediately understood what was going on, and indeed he disobeyed orders and led a large number of American troops to disobey orders and enter Queens, New York, to start a war. But the reason for disobedience is definitely not to commit treason, as the government spokesman said, but to save the United States on the contrary!
"How could they do such a thing!" Captain America angrily slammed his fist on the bedboard, shattering the wooden bed beneath him. Patriotic enthusiasm is regarded as an act of treason, and no matter what the reason, this practice cannot be tolerated!
"But many people already believe it." Flicker said sadly, informing Captain America of her reason for leaving the academy.
Shortly after that press conference, an anti-superhero march was launched, gathering a large number of enthusiastic people who did not know the truth, and smashed the Fantastic Four's home to rubble. At that time, the American soldiers were watching from the sidelines, and they had no intention of stopping it at all. Then the group ran to our academy and demanded that we hand over all those involved in the rebellion. Captain Cyclops went out to reason with them, but was besieged by an angry populace・・・・・・"
Captain America took a deep breath, he didn't expect things to develop so seriously in such a short period of time, combined with the existence of Magneto that Flicker said before, he felt that the follow-up might be even more terrifying than he had guessed.
"So, what's wrong with Cyclops?"
He was beaten to the brink by a mob but never fought back. His classmates wanted to go up and help him, but he was ordered to stop him as the captain of the X-Men. So he stood there and let the men punch and kick them, and later even used sticks and knives, and finally one of them took out a pistol and aimed it at the forehead of Captain Cyclops・・・・・・"
Hearing this, Captain America clenched his fists to the point that he was bleeding, and as the captain of a superhero group, he understood the decision made by Cyclops at that time. At that time, once he used his mutant ability to subdue everyone on the scene, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to making the X-Men and the U.S. government, no, the entire American people declare war, and the black cauldron of rebellion would be considered a backdrop.
As the captain of the X-Men, Cyclops can only choose to compromise, hoping that the sanity of this group can return. However, this large-scale riot was not organized by the people themselves, but was used by people with good intentions, and the man who took out the pistol was obviously one of the instigators of this demonstration.
"Did he get hit?" Captain America knows that the ability of the laser eye is a typical high attack and low defense, and the ability to carry the blow is estimated to be inferior to his own, if he is really shot directly in the head by the pistol, he will definitely be seriously injured if he does not die.
"Alas・・・・・・" flickered a sad sigh, as if recalling some tragic sight, "Magneto stopped the man and killed everyone present with the metal weapons they had brought with them. As the X-Men, we were supposed to stop them, but ・・・・・・ none of the mutants made a move. ”
Captain America gasped, he had long understood Magneto's vicious methods, but his help at such a critical time would undoubtedly push things into another, even more terrifying abyss.
"So, Cyclops teamed up with him?" Despite understanding that Magneto saved Cyclops' life, Captain America still doesn't think that Magneto will drag all the X-Men to cooperate with Magneto, a madman who is trying to make mutants rule over all of humanity, for this reason.
"No, Cyclops was unconscious at the time, and Magneto left after killing the rioting crowd." Flicker shook her head in denial, it looks like this is not the end of the matter.
"Immediately after Magneto killed all the marchers present, the newspaper ran an urgent news with the headline Mutant Rebellion. Now, the whole of America thinks that the X-Men slaughtered the marchers. The response of Congress was extremely swift, and in less than an hour, the "Superhero Registration and Management Act" was enacted, requiring all superheroes in the United States to report to the government and military departments within 24 hours and accept military control that temporarily restricts personal freedom, otherwise they will be sentenced for treason. ”
Captain America's eyes widened, and even someone as politically dull as him sensed that something was wrong: "All this is premeditated, the government is trying to divert domestic contradictions, and that parade is planned by Congress!" ”
Flicker nodded in agreement, "Yes, Captain Cyclops, after coming to his senses, also told us that the X-Men have been abandoned by the U.S. government. Now the only way out for mutants is to overthrow the U.S. government, which is determined to treat mutants as enemies, otherwise no matter what actions the X-Men take in the future, they will not be able to avoid being hostile to the military. ”
"Damn, the American people must know the truth, and now they have to know!" Captain America impulsively wanted to run out of the room and tell the ignorant people everything he knew, but the moment he opened the door, he was completely stunned by the person who appeared behind the door.
Standing there was the figure of Chen Lu with his hands in his pockets and an indifferent face.
