Chapter 864
(Because everyone understands relationships, this book will not write any names unless necessary when describing any political figures, and will only use titles to refer to them.)
"The mutants in Tuvalu want white wolves with empty hands!" In a private gathering, one of the three big bosses in the US Congress said this.
In addition to the bigwigs in Congress, the deputy secretary of state participated in this private party. He represented the secretary of state to attend the party, as well as agents from the White House.
The president doesn't want to come here in person, because he will be resigning at the end of the year, and it is better to have one thing less than one more thing. Unlike politicians such as Congress and the Secretary of State, the president is the pinnacle of American political power but also the end of political life.
But unless you can create a political family when you are in office, otherwise, when you abdicate, it is also the time when all political life ends. Congress may be re-elected, Secretary of State may be changed.
But these politicians can still rise and fall in the political arena, while the president cannot. If you retire, you will retire, and you can go to the farm to write books and raise horses with peace of mind. No new president likes the various influences left by the previous president.
Therefore, other politicians in Congress are more concerned about Tuvalu than Mr. President, who has already started to buy a farm in Kansas and prepare for his retirement plan in advance.
Because the president only needs to get through the last few months, and everything in the future has nothing to do with him. And these people can't, as long as they can hold power, they don't want to retire.
The potion launched by Tuvalu seems to be a boon for mutants alone, but it has a great impact on the politics of the United States. The boss of Congress said with itchy teeth: "They sent a few medicines, and I asked the Food and Drug Administration to concentrate their efforts on testing. I also found two willing experimenters. Both of them are of Ipsilon grade. Mutants, and the side effects of mutant damage are very serious. They started to get better within three days after injecting the medicine."
"We are currently doing follow-up and observation in the drug department, and no harm has been found yet. And as the young female president said, their x-gene activity is fading, and it will soon be undetectable." The congressman said dryly with.
The Deputy Secretary of State nodded: "This is a good thing. If this drug is really useful, it is indeed possible to purchase a batch. It is not just about considering the needs of the people, but there are also many political factors in it. This is It can be seen."
The representative of the White House didn't bring his mouth out this time. The president made it very clear, just listen and watch, don't talk too much. If there is any problem, the president will discuss it with Congress in private.
"But this is empty hands. They neither want to provide the technology nor disclose the method. They just want us to use crowdfunding to purchase this drug. Do you know the risks involved?" The attitude of the big boss in Congress In fact, it is the attitude of a group of members of Congress.
"What you said makes sense, but have you read the current news? Ever since the news of Tuvalu's new potion spread, the mutant side has been unstable. Ipsilon-class mutants, or some del The mutants at the tower level (without major flaws, but at the same time have no abilities) can't sit still. These people account for nearly sixty to seventy percent of the entire mutant population!" The Deputy Secretary of State frowned.
"I have always been against using mutants as a political topic to attack opponents or self-promotion. This is a double-edged sword that can hurt others as well as ourselves. We have made a huge political mistake in our mutant policy!"
Regarding the words of the Deputy Secretary of State, the congressman just took a deep look at him and said: "That's just because Tuvalu has appeared now, if there is no Tuvalu as a crap stick, I don't think there is anything wrong with our policy. It was just an accident."
"The problem is that this shit-stirring stick has really stirred up the situation in our country. Now I heard the news below that many mutants have already started to find a way to travel across the ocean to Tuvalu." Mr. Deputy Secretary of State is a little nervous.
The attitude of the United States and a group of allied countries headed by the United States towards mutants has always been unfavorable, but they maintain a delicate balance. This made the mutants' lives uncomfortable, but not to the point where they couldn't live at all.
Everyone is suffering silently, because there is no hope, and there is no difference between struggling and not struggling. Unless you want a violent revolution like Magneto, but how many people have such determination and courage? After all, such people are rare.
More people are moderates who like the path of Professor Charles, hoping to subtly change their living environment through time. There is no way to do this. To put it bluntly, I am not proactive at all, and I live a bit negatively.
But now a turning point and a new hope appeared, the news of the x new life potion suddenly exploded in this world. Countless journalists waiting for news in New Zealand have accepted President Katie's invitation.
"Yes, we have indeed developed such new drugs. They can alleviate various ailments caused by the awakening of the X gene. We do not deny that the awakening of the X gene has certain side effects, but we should treat this matter correctly and find a solution Instead of simply yelling and killing, this is not a good thing for mutants and ordinary people." Katie said to the reporters.
A reporter from Al Jazeera in the audience asked: "Since this drug is so good, why not mass-produce it? Let more mutants get help? No doubt offensive, I don't discriminate against mutants. But there is a couple who live next door. The child is a mutant. He is an Ipsilon class. He was originally a healthy child. But the awakening of the x gene paralyzed his lower body. Because his legs merged together, just like a mermaid in a movie. But life is not It will be as good as the movie. The side effect is that he can no longer run and play, and his parents are in tears all day long."
Katie sighed: "I hope to help more people, but it is difficult. We have financial difficulties. Tuvalu is only a small country, and we don't have so many sources of funds to do this. And Due to various considerations, the international community may not be willing to finance us.”
Katie spoke very cryptically, but everyone vaguely guessed what she was talking about. Such political factors cannot always be publicly explained.
As Katie's press conference and what she said, as well as more details of the x-rebirth potion were revealed, those who suffered from mutant lesions couldn't sit still.
No money? ! How much do you need? Billions of dollars! I don't have one, but we can raise funds! Under the leadership of some caring people (members of the fraternity of mutants who acted underground), mutants in the United States and other countries suddenly united in order to have a chance to cure their diseases.
In many cases, this group of people is a mess, in fact, all people are like this. If we didn't suffer severe persecution, or if we didn't have a unified goal under the huge temptation, everyone would fight on their own. After all, it is difficult to take care of yourself, how can you take care of others?
Magneto's earliest anti-x plan was like this, allowing the government to oppress mutants excessively until they were all forced to rebel. It's a means of uniting everyone.
The other is to let everyone have a common appeal and a common interest goal. This way everyone can be united. Undoubtedly, the X Freshman Project and Tuvalu Statehood are of this kind.
Especially how attractive the new medicine is to the Ipsilon-level mutants. Many people may not be willing to join Tuvalu due to various considerations, but they are willing to lose everything for the new medicine.
Not only these Ipsilon-level mutants, but also the family, relatives and friends around these mutants. Not all mutants have friends and family.
This is a powerful force, and this united force has begun to burn more and more. No money? Crowdfunding! Don't have the right platform? We build it ourselves! Bill doesn't allow it? We try to push it! Demonstration, march, sit-in!
This time, the appeal of the people is very simple. We have tolerated the exclusion of mutants and not working for mutants. Many mutants have to suffer from various side effects and inconvenience us in life. But now hope has appeared, we can become ordinary people, and we can stay away from the torment of these diseases, if there are still people who want to jump out to stop it? So sorry, we can't take it anymore!
[We want to live! 】I don’t know where, when and whoever made this catchphrase and slogan.
But it quickly spread everywhere, not just in the US. The Ypsilon class and Delta class and a small number of Beta class mutants from many countries joined the protest march.
They are protesting the inaction of the government. At the same time, they are also complaining that they want to crowdfund Tuvalu's pharmaceutical production line through cross-border fundraising, but they are blocked by the Ministry of Finance (billions or more dollars just flow overseas in this way, and there is no way to create value, any country's financial department will obstruct).
If you don't save us, don't you let us save ourselves? ! This is unbearable!
The Secretary of State and the bigwigs in Congress really have a headache! Katie from Tuvalu what do you say she really did wrong in this matter? At least not on a moral level. As for the political level? Well, there is no right or wrong in the same political system.
And now the successive demonstrations and parades have really begun to unite the mutants. The originally scattered mutants didn't have much impact on this country, but when a group starts to unite, from scattered hundreds of thousands to millions of individuals to a whole of tens of millions of people, then its energy It is immeasurable.
"It's really a shit-stirring stick!" The Congress boss couldn't sleep at night thinking about the recent situation. In his opinion, Tuvalu is already the biggest shit-stirring stick, but is it really the case?
The super shit-scrambler bought by someone who has paid for the huge profits in the next two decades has not yet worked. Once this super shit-stirring stick works, then the big boss of the Congress will not be able to sleep, and he probably wants to die.
And the super shit-stirring stick prepared by someone has returned to its own territory: Latvia. Doom, wearing an iron mask, said to his chancellor: "If I spend some money to do good things, will it make Latvia and my reputation better?"
At the beginning of the month! What about the monthly pass? Just vote if you should vote! Everyone!
