Chapter 258 Obadiah’s Narration [Medium Cup]
The destruction of Ned's estate did not cause a ripple on social media. Although Senator Ned, Ned's father - who took over Ned's grandfather's work and became a member of Parliament - is a public figure, he is not a public figure.
It's not particularly famous, and its influence is very limited.
A few decades ago, the Chou Country played ideological politics, that is, it was against the Crisis Federation. As long as you were a socialist of the Crisis Federation, the Chou Country would suppress you, but now the Chou Country's political arena...
Well... it can only be said that with the fall of the behemoth Sulian, Ugly Country has become the de facto global leader. Correspondingly, when there is no huge threat from the external environment, if Ugly Country politicians want to take over, then
Just...
Get attention.
Well, the most typical example...
The mayor of New York and his brother quarreled over who was "Mom's favorite child" on the show. Without conclusive evidence, you can't prove whether they quarreled on purpose, but they did get attention.
The Chou Kingdom, which started to fight internally even if there was no external aggression, gave people the feeling of a continuation of dynastic history.
In short, politicians reacted greatly to the emptying of Ned Manor, but ordinary people...
Then there is nothing more to say. If ordinary people have time to care about this, they might as well think about what to have for dinner today.
The Speaker of Congress in Washington called Nick Fury over again.
"This matter cannot continue. Congressman Ned has become the first Congressman to die. It is impossible for us to accept his continued actions. I will give you all the dispatching rights of the secret service organization. Are you sure you can stop Magneto?"
Nick Fury shook his head decisively: "Your Excellency Speaker, the opponent is Magneto. Conventional means, even bombing him with missiles, will not hurt him at all."
The Speaker frowned: "But he has been stopped many times in the past."
Nick Fury: "Oh, yes, Speaker, he has been stopped many times, but that is because the people who stopped him were mutants, and they were Magneto's friends and only friends - Professor X, Sir Charles.
Magneto is a racist. The number of mutants accounts for less than one thousandth of the global population, so Magneto will not kill mutants indiscriminately.
As for Professor X's ability, Speaker, you also know that he has the ability to control Magneto.
It was because of this that we were able to stop Magneto time and time again in the past."
The Speaker opened his mouth, and then said angrily to Nick Fury: "Professor, he is unwilling to help us this time because of his deal with Magneto?"
Nick Fury had no expression on his face. You politicians have been using your morals to kidnap professors and make them work for you. Now that the professor has been morally kidnapped by Magneto, you have no choice but to be incompetent and furious. In the end, you
That's it for these politicians.
The Speaker sighed, calmed his expression, and then looked at Nick Fury: "Besides the professor, is there anyone who can help us stop Magneto?"
Nick Fury thought for a while and then slowly said: "Devil City..."
The Speaker was stunned for a moment, then looked solemn: "Let's stop this topic, let's talk about SHIELD's space carrier."
Obviously, compared to what Nick Fury said about involving someone from Devil City...
The Speaker still thinks that the hundreds of people on that list should die.
Anyway, you deserve this. You used mutants as political tools and the mutant race was almost wiped out. Now I am looking for you to cause trouble. This is very reasonable.
The store manager in Devil's City finally stopped causing trouble. He agreed to stay in Devil's City, but he couldn't be provoked any more.
——Hmm... The Speaker doesn’t even know that You Qi has followed Brother Xiao Ming and started a wave mode, agreeing to stay in Devil City? I did promise, but who would say what I said to the politicians of your ugly country?
Seriously~——
Obviously, rather than asking for help from a certain store manager, the Speaker still felt that it was better to let these hundreds of people die.
If things go wrong in the future and Magneto continues to settle accounts, it will directly set off a global wave of boycotts of mutants because of the assassination of politicians.
Cia is very comfortable playing this game.
For example, if mutants kill even politicians, wouldn't that mean ordinary people are even less human?
People in Europe and the United States generally hate politicians.
But once it comes to their own safety...
The power these people can unleash is also considerable.
Ordinary people have launched a resistance. If Magneto continues to kill, the professor will definitely not be able to sit still. If ordinary people join in, the professor will definitely not let Magneto continue to kill.
so……
These hundreds of people are just for you, Magneto, to calm down. Once you finish killing them, forget it. If you continue, don't blame us for playing dirty tricks.
————————
There has been no news from Washington. For politicians who know that they are on Magneto's list, or in other words, for politicians who know that they may be on the list...
Not good news.
Yes, Magneto does have a list in his hand, and the intelligence department can confirm the authenticity of the information.
[Maybe this information was leaked by Lao Wan himself~]
But the specific name...
Then no one will know.
This makes many politicians in Ugly Country feel a little embarrassed.
Stand up and admit it...
That would be equivalent to telling other politicians that they are Hydra...
Don't stand up...
What if one day like Ned Manor, the whole house collapses, you die unexpectedly, and the case is closed by accident? Then you are really dead, and no one pays attention to it.
So these people have become more and more frightened recently.
Especially... Two days later, news came that four former politicians and congressmen died at home, and a current politician committed suicide with a gun.
It is worth mentioning that the home of the person who committed suicide was not destroyed like Ned Manor. The place where the former MP lived was completely destroyed like Ned Manor.
Obviously, if he chooses to commit suicide, Magneto's people will not kill everyone and involve his family.
Grandpa Ned in heaven cried to death: If you had said it earlier! If you had said it could be like this, then I would definitely commit suicide...
Ang... Actually, Grandpa Ned and Ned's father, both of their names are on that list.
So judging from the final result, there is actually no difference, only Ned can survive.
And this situation has completely panicked some politicians.
Because their luck was shattered.
Magneto...is here for real this time...
Moreover, there are no X-Men from the past who will jump out to protect them and stop Magneto...
Therefore, some people choose irrational practices.
for example……
Contact private armed forces.
As for the private militia business, one company is doing it here in Manhattan - Hammer Military Industries.
Although Hammer Military Industries cannot be compared with the Stark Group, politicians who usually don't think highly of Hammer are now flocking to them one by one, wanting to buy enough arms and weapons from Hammer.
Teams of retired soldiers.
Hammer's mouth was almost numb from laughter recently, and the money flowed into his pocket.
As for the Stark Group...
Tony Stark asked Jarvis to block all politicians who wanted to contact him recently, but many people contacted Pepper, which left Tony speechless for a while.
"Are there so many Hydras in New York? Huh?"
In the Avengers base, Tony Stark had a drink with Captain America, and then drank the drink in one gulp.
Tony shouted angrily: "Do you know how many people have found me in the past two days? 72 people!"
Tony stretched out a hand and gestured with the numbers: "Seventy-two! Seventy-two people!
Although they came up with a bunch of other high-sounding reasons! But I asked Jarvis to do a little research and confirmed that they had all issued very radical political policies against mutants before!
I don’t understand, Ugly Country is so big! Have all the Hydra gathered in New York?”
Rhodes suddenly said from the side: "Tony, have you ever thought that most of them have retired, and these politicians who have money and leisure, is there a possibility that they come to New York to retire?"
Tony Stark curled his lips: "Retirement? Shouldn't we go to Miami? The beaches there..."
Tony paused suddenly as he spoke, and then looked at Rhodes: "You're talking about... [elderly care]?"
Rhodes shrugged.
Tony held his forehead speechlessly.
Captain America was also speechless: "To be honest, I really can't believe it. Have those people gone to such lengths just to be greedy for money?"
To be continued...
