MTL - American Comic: Create An Oasis at the Beginning, and the Rise of Mutants-Chapter 40
"We've gained a lot, haven't we?"
"Furthermore..."
He turned his head and looked at Magneto seriously: "You don't really think that the rift that has already arisen is still possible to heal?"
Magneto's eyes flickered slightly.
Of course he understood what Lynn meant.
After this incident, even if the White House and the military finally shake hands and make peace, at least in the eyes of the current president and vice president, the military's credibility will be greatly reduced.
The seeds of military and political infighting have already been planted and may grow into towering trees at any time.
And during this time, neither the White House nor the military dared to take any unfavorable actions against the mutants, unless they wanted to be drowned by the people's saliva.
In this way, mutants have an excellent development time!
"That's why you kept William Stryker alive..."
Magneto sighed softly.
Lin En said coldly: "He is already a mortal person, but before he goes to hell, he needs to fully display his value."
Killing is never the only way to solve a problem.
Kill one William Stryker, and soon there will be a second, and a third.
This makes no sense to mutants.
But if he is alive, he will be judged and condemned. During this process, how many people will pay attention to him? How many people would sympathize with mutants because of this?
Magneto obviously thought of this too. When he was at the base before, he didn't get into trouble......
He looked at Lynn, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It seems that the next step is to take advantage of the current momentum and let X Academy open its enrollment?"
This is nonsense.
But when Mystique heard the words, her complexion changed suddenly, and she looked at Magneto in disbelief.
Just as Magneto knows her very well, she also knows the character of this old man very well.
Take the initiative to ask about this matter...
It means accepting Lynn's invitation in disguise!
To be the vice-principal of Academy X!
Obviously, in the whole thing, the strength and means that Lynn showed made the leader of the hawk mutant who was extremely proud in his heart, and he couldn't help but be convinced!
He may not have given up on his ideas, and still feels that only by eradicating all human beings can mutants truly survive...
but!
At least for now!
He is willing to follow Lynn to give it a try!
"Eric..."
Mystique's eyes flickered. Everything that happened during this period was not as good as the scene in front of her, which made her even more excited.
Although this old man is unscrupulous and ruthless...
But he really gave everything for the mutants!
For this reason, it would not hesitate to lower the proud head of a young man!
Although he has no other choice, it is 0.6!
"Riwen, what's wrong with you?"
The White Queen was stupefied, completely unable to understand why Mystique was so excited.
Lin En had expected this, and there was no surprise on his face. It seemed that in his eyes, Magneto accepted the invitation... There was no suspense at all.
"That's right, it's time for Academy X to stand in the sun."
He actually spoke to Magneto naturally, with the posture of a superior: "When the matter is over, I will take you to the X Academy to meet Professor Charles."
Magneto didn't feel angry, so he nodded.
But then he was stunned: "The matter is over? The matter...isn't over yet?"
"certainly!"
Lynn glanced at him inexplicably: "The matter...has just begun!"
Magneto and Mystique looked at each other.
Two faces are dumbfounded.
Chapter 57 High-Level Meeting! The confidence of General Ross! (Dazhang asks for subscription)
White House Office.
A high-level meeting was urgently held in the middle of the night.
Attendees are all heavyweights in the military and political circles.
The White House is naturally headed by President Matthew Ellis and Vice President Rodriguez, while in the military seat, Army General Scudder has the highest rank.
The meeting was full of gunpowder from the beginning.
"What does your military want to do? You want to rebel by controlling mutants to assassinate the president?!"
"Mr. President, this matter has nothing to do with the military. It is completely William Stryker's personal behavior. We never knew he would be so crazy!"
"Assassination of the president is such a big thing, you say you don't know about it? Do you think we are fools?!"
"But the fact is true. William Stryker has been arrested. As long as he is interrogated strictly, I believe the truth will be found out soon!"
"The truth? In order to deal with mutants, did you not hesitate to assassinate the president to get the White House to agree to the truth of your plans?!"
"Every plan we put forward is for the country, for the people, and for the survival of mankind!"
"But your plans are inhumane, and each one costs a huge budget!"
"I must emphasize one point. This is a war. If human beings don't want to be overthrown by mutants, aren't they even willing to pay the price?"
"Ha, to put it nicely, where did those budgets go, do you dare to disclose it?!"
"You are slandering! Could it be that someone in our military is pocketing his own money?!"
"Isn't it? After spending so much money, is there any reliable results today? When the X weapon project was launched, you vowed to create an elite mutant that obeys our orders. Now? The police have taken the blame!"
"The Weapon X program is not considered a failure, because of our intervention, all the information has been sealed, as long as there is a chance, it can be restarted at any time!"
"Do you still want to restart? Are you afraid that you are dreaming? There are no experimental subjects, so go outside and arrest them? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us now?!"
"It doesn't matter, the most indispensable thing in this world is mutants. As long as we are willing, we will find enough experimental subjects soon!"
"16 Are you crazy? Don't forget that the "Mutant Registration Act" has not been passed. Even if it is passed, legally speaking, mutants are not criminals!"
The words came from Vice President Rodriguez.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the noisy and red-faced people immediately fell silent.
Who can attend this meeting not a scheming old fox?
Almost everyone understands the meaning of this sentence. In the final analysis, whether it is the X weapon plan or other plans against mutants... there is no legal support!
In other words, these plans are shady!
And the military's biggest mistake this time was to expose the Weapon X program to the public's view. This was a huge blow to the prestige of the military and the prestige of the White House!
"Everyone, I hope you all understand one thing... Mutants are not pigs to be slaughtered!"
Rodriguez stretched out his fingers, slammed the table in front of him, and scanned the audience with majestic eyes: "Look at the direction of the wind outside, do you know how many people are scolding you now? And changed his attitude towards mutants?!"
Accompanied by his words, a secretary quickly manipulated the computer, and pictures appeared on the big screen.
It is a screenshot of the X Daily.
"This **** app cannot be uninstalled, and its installed base has reached a terrible number. In addition, it allows people to post videos and share their lives. It is deeply loved by users, and it is about to sweep the country!"
Rodriguez said in a deep voice: "You would never have imagined that within a short period of time when the Weapon X program was exposed, how many people sent videos angrily denouncing William Stryker as a butcher, condemning the X Weapon program, and suspecting that the military has evil intentions. …There are even those who demand that the White House severely punish William Stryker and investigate the military conspiracy!"
"Fuck!"
The faces of all the high-ranking officers in the military turned gloomy.
"Your Excellency, Vice President, this is obviously manipulated by mutants behind the scenes!"
Admiral Scudder finally spoke: "They want to manipulate public opinion, change their image, and convince the public that they are not a threat... This is a challenge to us!"
"Of course I know, but what's wrong with that?"
Rodriguez shook his head: "It's still the same sentence. From a legal point of view, mutants are not criminals. They are also legal citizens with various rights. They seek rights for their own groups. What reason do we have to stop them?"
No one believed such high-sounding nonsense.
But this sentence points out the whole point of the matter...
The group of mutants has begun to seek their own interests!
And it's in the normal way!
This is by no means a good phenomenon!
"These videos must be blocked immediately to prevent them from spreading!"
A military general said, "And that X Daily, which company made it? Let the FBI start the investigation immediately!"
The classic can't solve the problem, just solve the person who created the problem.
"It's useless, with our current technology, we can't have any influence on Daily X..."
Someone from the White House immediately shook their heads: "As for that company, it is owned by a person named Katie Pryde, who is the reporter of the mutant channel. Other than that, other information is all false...Obviously, she Registering a company is just to upload an app, and after success, it disappears!"
All the bigwigs in the meeting room looked at each other in blank dismay.
"So, as the largest country in the world, we are helpless... against an inexplicable app?!"
I don't know who said that.
There is a great sense of dark humor in a meeting of this level.
"Perhaps we can turn to Tony Stark for help?"
Admiral Scudder frowned, and thought of a way: "He can create a technological weapon that transcends the times, such as a steel suit, and he has also developed artificial intelligence. There should be a way!"
His face was rather ugly.
For such a small matter, to ask the boss of an arms company for help is somewhat detrimental to the face of the White House and the military.
Another person shook his head: "I've tried this method too, and Mr. Stark's reply is that he can't do it either!"
"Can't do it? I think he doesn't want to do it!"
Admiral Scudder snorted coldly: "Why did he appear this time? Could it be that there is some kind of connection between him and the mutants that we don't know?!"
Everyone fell silent again.
This question cannot be considered carefully.
"This is the crux of the matter!"
Rodriguez sighed deeply: "Who is Tony Stark? A procurement partner who has cooperated with the military for many years and has a very close relationship with the government. He is also a super elite among us ordinary humans, but after this incident After the incident, he actually publicly expressed his sympathy for the mutants and his dissatisfaction with the military in the live broadcast..."
"What does this mean, don't you understand?!"
Of course everyone understands.
It means that the storm of public opinion in the recent period has had an impact on Iron Man, a human elite who holds a lot of wealth and resources!
He can be influenced, what about other consortium bosses, human elites, and officials at all levels?
Will he start sympathizing with mutants too? !
Everyone here is very clear that the resources of this society have been in the hands of a few people since ancient times, and the voices of ordinary people can be ignored, but if more human elites like Iron Man change their attitudes...
For them, it will be a huge blow!
"Mutants must be attacked!"
Scudder said without the slightest hesitation: "I can't let it go like this anymore, I think it is necessary to restart the "Mutant Registration Act" and implement it as quickly as possible!"
