Chapter 309 Suddenly Become Calm
After eliminating Sebastian, the CIA quickly dispatched support.
They must have received the news that the biggest enemy has been eliminated. These people rushed over to say that it was a rescue, or it would be more accurate to say that the White Queen was taken away.
At the same time, Mora, as an active agent, also needs to make a detailed report and report everything that happened truthfully.
As for Charles and others, they were ignored.
The CIA also doesn't know how to deal with the Charles group, or there is no consensus within them: deal with it as a threat? They have just solved a big problem for themselves, and looking at their previous performance, it seems that their position is biased towards the super-powerful people of the government.
At the same time, the abilities shown by Charles and Eric have also entangled the senior officials of the CIA. On the one hand, they feel jealous, and on the other hand, they feel that it is a very good thing to have such power on their side. What kind of trouble there is, maybe it will be solved by the ability of these people.
Just like this crisis, if it wasn't for Charles and Eric to help investigate the truth and eliminate the mastermind Sebastian Shaw, the two nuclear-armed powers of the United States and the Soviet Union would have exploded seriously because of the provocation of a small group of people. Conflicts have even involved all mankind in a nuclear war.
But in the end, it's still the same problem. Some people firmly believe that mutants will pose a threat to ordinary people, so they try their best to oppose the "absorption" of Charles and others as their own.
It can be said that the two factions are caught in a tug-of-war. As the upper class, they do not have a unified idea, and their final attitude seems to be ignoring the efforts and efforts of Charles and others.
Young mutants don't understand the twists and turns; Hank, who understands, won't speak out and make his friends fall into anger; Charles, who has enough knowledge and future memory, can think of it. The key does not care.
"Compared to directly targeting us as monsters, the current situation is much better."
There is no indication, which proves that there are still voices supporting them. If they continue to work hard, they may be able to win a better living environment for the mutants.
Even if it is not required to be completely the same as ordinary people, at least not to be the public enemy of ordinary people.
"I personally suggest that your mutant academy should cooperate more with the government. Those politicians are actually very realistic. If you always take mutants outside, they won't care about objective facts and the like. , will only target you as an enemy, because it meets the expectations of many people, and they can gain enough prestige for it."
Ethan shrugged: "Those are the capital for them to keep climbing."
Take a walk with Charles in the extremely large estate and talk about the future by the way.
"I thought that staying away from those things would free the mutants from being a tool for some people's struggles, but it turned out that my thinking was too naive."
Charles didn't have a good way to do this. He originally wanted to keep the mutants away from those struggles, thinking that this would keep the mutants away from right and wrong, but it turns out that even if you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, trouble will come to you.
The growing number of mutants makes it impossible for them to hide themselves, and the social conflicts caused by various superpower crimes are not something they can hide and run a school.
So it is definitely not possible to hide and live, that is a dead end, and 'history' has proved this.
Since there is no way to hide, it is better to go directly to the front desk. Ethan proposed to let Charles form the X-Men and use his strong financial resources to form alliances with some politicians. Special police officers who are capable of committing crimes continue to gain recognition from the general public through just and commendable behavior.
"Don't try to make the X-Men a self-contained vigilante force, that's causing trouble for you and all mutants, Charles."
Sometimes it's just that that decides whether you're a group of righteous people or an extremely dangerous gang of violence.
Many things that Professor Charles did in the previous life are worth complaining. While complaining about the general public's unwillingness to accept mutants, he ran his own small kingdom. Here, the mutants only listen to you, Charles, and don't care about the constitution and criminal law of the United States. , All kinds of laws, I only recognize Professor Charles, no matter what kind of onion the US president is, whoever is on stage will have to die to clean up you.
"Does this really give mutants a better future?"
"At least it can guarantee that mutants will not become the public enemy of all mankind, causing all human beings to find a way to destroy all mutants."
Charles closed his mouth. He could doubt whether this approach would work, but he couldn't deny that his previous ideas did not work.
The two circled the huge mansion, and when they returned to the main entrance, they happened to see Eric reading a book on the lawn.
Ever since he told the young Magneto that he needs to read more if he wants to become stronger, Eric has started a daily life of holding a book wherever he goes. Even though Eric, who has not used magnetic field energy to strengthen himself, is still far superior to ordinary people in his learning ability. He has reviewed his previous high school courses through self-study, and is currently self-studying university knowledge. The subjects involved are mainly physics, and some miscellaneous Read some books on astronomy, etc.
"I'm just worried that mutants are going to be a tool for some people, and we've done everything we've done and we haven't gotten the results we wanted."
Charles's worries are not unreasonable, after all, what kind of guys those people are, everyone knows well: they have no integrity and credibility.
"So you can't just flatter yourself, you should also show your muscles when appropriate."
Charles did this very badly. He clearly has the ability to destroy all mankind in an instant. As a result, everyone can pinch him as a weak chicken. Every time Charles chooses to settle down, this also encourages some people. Human arrogance.
"Not everyone can be reasonable, and there are many people who are under the banner of uprightness, but behind the scenes to achieve filthy goals. Do you think it is useful to be reasonable for such people?"
Like the X-weapon development plan, that group of people talk about the mutant threat all day long, and provoke public hostility to mutants over and over again, is it really because they want to protect all mankind? Don't be kidding, they just want to have a fair reason to arrest mutants unscrupulously, and then carry out all kinds of shady experiments.
For this kind of guy, it's useless for you to put out a hundred reasons. People don't reason with you at all. The easiest way to deal with this kind of guy is to kill him directly.
"But will this in turn cause some people's fear?"
"It's also a good thing to be afraid of you. At least you know that you can't provoke you. You have memories of the future, and those memories should tell you something."
"what?"
"Are there more arrests of young mutants under your protection...or more mutants arresting the Brotherhood of Mutants formed by Magneto?"
Charles had nothing to say again, it was obvious that he had been arrested more times, and even if the other party was sure of the person who had caught him, he could do nothing, at most he would send the X-Men to rescue him. As for revenge? Never thought about it.
But if you stab the powder keg of Magneto, it will kill your whole family in minutes.
"Now that Eric is standing with you, I'm sure he'll be more than willing to do something you don't want but have to do."
Charles nodded helplessly. Perhaps Eric agreed to stay after thinking of this?
He thought about what would happen in the next few decades, as well as several important helpers in the future.
The year is 1960. Phoenix Girl-Grey will not be born in a few years. As for the awakening of abilities, it will be even further away. Cyclops and Storm will also be born in the next few years. Some initial preparations, always pay attention to the situation of these children, lest any accidents happen before they grow up.
Ethan is also thinking about similar things. The background of the old trilogy is about two thousand years old, but that time line was later covered by Reverse Future, so it can be ignored directly.
He is now in the world of a new trilogy, the first of which has a clear background clue, which is the Missile Crisis. The corresponding time is 1960, which is the era he lives in now.
The second part of the new trilogy, Back to the Future, involves two timelines. The future line can be ignored, and the age of young Professor X is clear: 1973.
Although the third Apocalypse did not give a specific time on the surface, there is one detail that reminds the real time of the story: a few young mutants ran out to watch the newly released Star Wars Part III, and the movie's The release date is 1983.
Ethan calculates this because he is considering whether he can benefit from drawing here. It is completely impossible to experience the plot quietly and gain some benefits. The time span of more than 20 years before and after has made him only Can stare.
His control over the time-space pointer is indeed getting stronger and stronger, and he can break through that time limit sooner or later. But at this time, there is no breakthrough, and he still can't stay for more than a year.
After counting, it seems that all he can do is to release Apocalypse in advance, but what is the use of releasing that guy? Apocalypse can enhance the abilities of mutants, but Ethan is not a mutant.
Coupled with the extreme ego of Tianqi, it is obviously a patient with severe middle and secondary diseases, not someone who can communicate normally.
"Apocalypse, let's leave it to Charles or the future Dark Phoenix to solve it."
After ignoring the apocalypse, some familiar X-Men have not been born yet. Even if he wants to kidnap a few mutants, there is no goal. Ethan doesn't know what to do?
In addition to chatting with Charles every day and thinking about the future, he is trying to digest the group of spiritual power that old Charles gave him to further improve his strength.
