Chapter 216 Registration Act
readx;?“ In addition to the nickname, a number of high-ranking generals of the military were suspected of illegally detaining mutants and provoking mutant wars14 to be arrested in accordance with the law! ”
S.H.I.E.L.D. did not disappoint Bucky, and in less than a week, General Carol and more than a dozen military generals illegally arrested mutants, carried out illegal experiments on mutants, and intended to provoke a war between ordinary people and mutants were all handed over to Bucky.

In order to make the news spread more rapidly, Bucky not only used the promotion methods of his own Internet company, but also hired such a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenagers to peddle newspapers printed with heavy news in the streets and alleys of New York during the peak period of work.
Who is shaping the enemy for us? 》
Ethnic Groups Subjected to Injustice - Mutants
Mutants, Friends or Foes? 》
……
Almost all the newspapers carried the news about the persecution of mutants by the military top brass on this day, and the overwhelming news caught the US government, which wanted to deal with Admiral Carroll in a low-key manner, and the crowds of demonstrators took to the streets almost immediately, and the entrance to the White House was surrounded by people eager to know the truth at 9 o'clock in the morning.
"We need to know the truth!"
"Come out quickly, you owe us an explanation!"
This is the case in the United States, when an opportunity arises to show personal compassion, as long as it does not involve its own interests, countless people will stand up and show their compassion and sense of justice.
Bang bang bang!
In the White House, Mr. President angrily patted his desk and looked at several military bigwigs with an average age of more than 60 across from him.
"Why, I, the president, am the last to get the news, just like ordinary people!"
Mr. President is very angry, he is only in his early 50s, he has been sitting on the presidential throne for 5 years, it can be described as a spring breeze, before today, he has always thought that he is in control of the direction of this country, even if there is a supernatural existence like the apocalypse, Mr. President is confident that he can resolve this crisis. But when he got up in the morning, everything changed, the military's secret experiment was revealed, which instantly ignited the anger of the people, he, the president and the entire cabinet, may step down at any time, what makes Mr. President even more angry is that even he himself does not know about Admiral Carroll's secret experiment, he took the blame for others.
The anger of the president opposite, the generals of the military are also speechless.
In fact, S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about Admiral Carroll's investigation and arrest, and even after all the incriminating evidence was confirmed, it was these military bigwigs who made a verdict for Admiral Carol and his family, but they didn't expect that after S.H.I.E.L.D. handed over the incriminating evidence to them, it changed hands and gave a backup copy to Bucky, and what they didn't expect was that Bucky would be desperate to make these incriminating evidence public, which caught them off guard.
Looking at the silent generals, Mr. President could only sigh deeply, and asked weakly: "The matter has happened, what solution do you have, don't hide it now, let's discuss it together, if I and my cabinet are finished, don't think about it!" ”
"Mr. President, things have come to this point, we can only apologize publicly, in fact, not only you, but all of us are Carol's scapegoats, what he did, we only know a rough idea, we didn't expect that guy to be crazy to such a point." A shriveled old man with gray hair spoke.
"It's strange to believe you!" The president thought so, but he couldn't say it directly, thought for a moment, and said: "The military is mainly responsible for this matter, and the cabinet can only be said to be ineffective, for the sake of the country's stability, the cabinet must remove itself from this matter, otherwise social turmoil is not something you and I can bear." ”
……
When it was a mess outside, in Xavier's school, Bucky was leisurely enjoying the winter afternoon sun, for most of the year, his life had been in a tense state, the constant fighting made him a little tired, and when the whole world was messed up by the news he made, he relaxed leisurely.
A pair of soft little hands suddenly appeared on Bucky's head, gently massaging him, making Bucky want to hum comfortably.
"Did the scientists get it?"
Anna gently pressed Bucky's temple and said, "Their memories have been cleared, you will really make trouble for the professor, this is close to a thousand people, to clear their memories about the sentry robots without damaging their brains, this delicate operation can only be done by the professor and aunt, after these busy days, it is finally completed." ”
After confirming that Apocalypse had been killed, Nick Fury quickly sent all the researchers involved in the research of the Sentinel Robot to Xavier School, as agreed with Bucky, and these days, Professor X and the White Queen have been brainwashing these people into forgetting everything about the Sentinel Robot.
Bucky chuckled and didn't speak, knowing that Anna was complaining that the brainwashing was taking away time from her time with the White Queen's aunt.
"Bucky, how do you say the government will solve this matter, you just poke those incriminating evidence out and forget it, now it's very chaotic outside, it was just said on TV, the president may step down because of this."
"The president should be fine, and the people outside are just momentary indignation when they feel that they have been fooled, and after a while, this kind of thing that does not concern their vital interests will be left behind, as long as the president shows an apologetic attitude and introduces one or two substitutes, the matter will slowly subside. All I want is a chance for society to re-recognize mutants, and this is the perfect time for mutants to re-establish their image. Bucky doesn't really know much about politics, which Nick Fury analyzed earlier, which is why he is desperate to make a big deal out of it.
The man couldn't stand the words, and at that moment, Katie's voice was heard in the distance: "Teacher Anna, Mr. Barnes, come and watch the TV, the president has come out to speak!" ”
When Bucky took Anna's hand and walked into the house, both the teachers and students of the school cast reverent glances at Bucky, and in the incident between Apocalypse and the Sentinel Robot, whether it was Bucky's great strength or everything he did for mutants, he won the respect of all mutants.
Mr. President on the TV, I can't see his anger in the White House in the morning at all, at this time, his face is grief, and there seem to be tears in the corners of his eyes, and he is definitely the best actor in the world.
"I'm sorry, really, I need to apologize to all the mutants, the actions of former military general Carol, and the poor supervision of me and the entire cabinet, are inescapable of being responsible, and for this reason, I will formally propose to the Legislative Council that all acts of discrimination against mutants be attributed to the crime of racial discrimination......"
Everything that follows doesn't matter, just including discrimination against mutants as a crime of racial discrimination is enough for these mutants who have been ostracized by society to burst into tears.
At this moment, Bucky's cell phone rang, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Nick Fury.
Picking up the phone, Bucky said in a somewhat teasing tone: "Director Fury, you actually have time to call me, didn't those people who were demonstrating outside cause you any trouble?" ”
"We're S.H.I.E.L.D., not the police." Nick Fury's tone was as flat as ever, and he continued, "Did you read the president's speech?" ”
"Look, it's not bad, it's the result I want, society will give mutants a chance to re-establish their image, and the life of mutants should be much better in the future."
"The president just called me and wanted to ask the representatives of the mutants to attend a hearing through me."
"What hearing?" Bucky asked, frowning.
"Your actions can be said to have offended the entire government, even with mutants are not very popular, someone put forward a proposal for the "Mutant Registration Act", the president is very moved, but I still want to hear the opinions of mutants."
Mutant Registration Act! At this point in time, someone else made this request, Bucky snorted disdainfully and asked: "Politicians are really shameless, while talking about including discrimination against mutants in the crime of racial discrimination, what kind of registration bill is proposed, how cheeky does this need to be!" What do you think about this? ”
"If it had been half a year ago, I would have supported this bill, and our goal for S.H.I.E.L.D. is to nip all threats in the cradle."
"And now?"
"Now I can see that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not omnipotent, our agents are not invincible, S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot strangle all threats in the cradle, and even for many threats, our S.H.I.E.L.D. is simply powerless to resist." Nick Fury's tone was unusually low, and he was silent for a long time, and then said: "We in S.H.I.E.L.D. need superheroes like you to join, those X-Men are a good choice, and I look forward to in-depth cooperation with mutants." So for now, I'll be on the mutants' side. ”
"Good!" Bucky nodded with satisfaction and asked, "When and where is the hearing?" ”
"Two days later, at ten o'clock in the morning, the Capitol."
Hanging up the phone, Bucky smiled coldly, this so-called "Mutant Registration Act" is probably the last struggle of the anti-mutant organization, and now that it has jumped out, it is just right to catch it all.
……
Soon, two days later, Bucky and Jean arrived at the Capitol.
As soon as Bucky, who was wearing a crisp suit, and Jean, who was dressed in an elegant dress, got out of the car, he was surrounded by countless reporters, and countless flashing lights kept flashing.
"Mr. Barnes, are you really a mutant?"
"Mr. Barnes, there are rumors that you are the friend of Captain America's missing friend during World War II, is that true?"
"Mr. Barnes, what do you think of Congressman Kelly's proposed Mutant Registration Act?"
"Mr. Barnes......"
"Mr. Barnes......"
Although he has already become the top billionaire in the United States, this is the first time that Bucky has felt the enthusiasm of a reporter, and they are willing to stop when they want to stuff the microphone into Bucky's mouth.
If it weren't for the fact that now was the perfect time to establish a new image of mutants, and if it weren't for the fact that this group of journalists had a lot of influence over ordinary people, Bucky would never have faced these reporters so calmly. Without using any force beyond the acceptable range of ordinary people, it took more than five minutes for Bucky and Jean to squeeze to the stairs of the Capitol, and with the cooperation of the security personnel, they were able to get rid of the entanglement of reporters.
"I feel that walking this distance of tens of meters is much more laborious than dismantling a sentry robot." Bucky looked back at the reporters who were still trying to reach for him, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You just have to ignore these reporters, and then there will be more difficult things to deal with, who is that Congressman Kelly, and why do you have to get along with us mutants! Barnes, can we stop the registration bill from passing at a hearing? Jean asked nervously.
"Don't worry, Jean, I won't allow the registration bill to pass. This Congressman Kelly should be Carroll's remnants, he is still too anxious, if a year and a half later, and the fact that a few mutants have committed crimes, then there is a real possibility that the registration bill will pass. But now, the whole society is on our side, and even if there is a real case of mutant crime being brought up by this Congressman Kelly, it will not be able to play a good role. ”
In the past two days, Bucky has investigated Congressman Kelly, who proposed the registration bill, and although there is no evidence that he is related to Admiral Carroll, Bucky is still convinced of it.
This Kelly Councilor, Bucky has a little impression that his ending in the movie is not very good, it seems that he was transformed into a mutant by Magneto, but in the end because his physique could not withstand the changes brought about by the X gene, he finally turned into a puddle of water. Although Magneto is dead, and his mutant transformation machine has not yet been built, Bucky doesn't mind completing his unfinished business for Magneto if this Kelly Councilor doesn't know each other.
Bucky pointed to the crowd gathered under the Capitol, holding signs of all sorts of pro-mutants against racial discrimination, and then said to Jean: "With these supporters, I believe that no one will be able to get the Mutant Registration Act passed, not Congressman Kelly, not Mr. President!" ”
Infected by Bucky's confidence, Jean felt that her walking pace was a little brisker, smiled at Bucky, and took the lead into the Capitol.
