The matter in Hong Kong was actually quite big. Although the outside world did not know what happened, the people in power within the government were very clear about everything.
"I don't agree with the establishment of the Mutants Brotherhood's branch in Hong Kong." A committee member said, "The Mutants Brotherhood is essentially no different from a terrorist organization. If people know that we are involved with the Mutants Brotherhood, it will be easy for them to use it against us! Our country's reputation will be ruined! "
The committee member's impassioned platitudes were heard. However, his words were sneered at by another big boss. "Hey. Which side are you on? "
The committee member: "What?"
The big boss continued to sneer. "I ask you, which side are you on? Are you sent by the Americans? "
The committee member was furious. "What did you say! Are you slandering my loyalty to the country? "
The big boss said calmly, "Since you are loyal to the country, then you should understand that what you just said is bullsh * t! Have you become stupid from teaching in school? Do you really think dogmatism is the truth every day?! Don't think that just because you have a lot of students now, you are an authority! "
"You are still far from governing the country!" The big boss mercilessly criticized the committee member. This committee member was the principal of an official training school. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had students all over the world. Therefore, he could enter the core think tank of the government and give opinions on the country's policies.
However, as the big boss said before, this committee member was a bit stupid from teaching. Of course, some other political considerations could not be ruled out. After all, since ancient times, the method used for internal struggle and the method used to unite against external forces were different.
"Can reputation be used to make a living?" The big boss continued to criticize harshly. "Have you forgotten who secretly tolerated the Ten Rings gang on our western border?! Because of the existence of the Lord Man, we almost gave up development in the west for 30 years! A large number of Northwest natives were forced to move east. "
"Now the population ratio of the entire west is seriously out of balance, and a lot of land is barren. Some land has even begun to become desertified due to lack of management. In addition to desertification, we need to manage it again. Do you understand the feelings of those people who were forced to leave their homes because of security issues and war?! "
The big boss stared closely at the committee member. His eyes were like a tiger. "The big exit of the eastern coast: the Pacific Ocean! Do you understand where we stand? "
"Don't just keep looking at the island chains. Look further ahead. There isn't a single strait that is suitable for international navigation that we can control! At least not yet! The Europeans fought for control of these straits for hundreds of years during the Age of Discovery. "
"And the reason why the United States controlled the world's maritime hegemony was because of the two World Wars. They seized it from other European countries as a condition of interest! Our country is in a state of suffocation and suffocation. The Ten Abstinence Gang has committed crimes on our northwestern border. Any goods transported from China by land out of the country are easily robbed by them. "
"When has the Pacific Ocean ever been peaceful? Reputation? Do you really think anyone cares?! "The big boss was merciless this time. He reprimanded the committee member in a harsh manner.
Although the committee member had many students, their combined status was not as high as that of the big boss. Moreover, the big boss was a faction that held real power, completely different from the pure political system officials like him. Therefore, the committee members who were reprimanded by the big boss could only blush, but they could not jump up and criticize the big boss.
"We can't travel by sea, so the country has been considering developing land transportation. Including the high-speed railway plan, we have been doing it all along. It's just that the Ten Abstinence Gang is like a fishbone stuck in our throat. If there are no people playing tricks behind the scenes, we will eradicate the Lord Man even if we have to pay a painful price. "The big boss continued to clarify his position.
"Now, because of the Battle of New York, we can join forces with Latvia and the New Eastern European Union to eradicate this big problem. Even now, we can join the super high-speed railway plan, so that our entire national plan can be completed in a different way. Do you know how long we have waited for this day and how many people have died? "The big boss' tiger-like gaze finally made the committee member lower his head.
"Keep your thoughts to yourself! Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. " The big boss finally said sternly, "At least what the Mutants Brotherhood has done so far is beneficial to us! Zheng Xian. "
The big boss called the director of the Spear Game, Zheng Xian, who was also attending the meeting. Zheng Xian was playing with a pen at the other end of the conference table. He did not seem to care about the previous discussion at all. He did not turn his head until the big boss called him. Without waiting for the big boss to ask, Zheng Xian spoke first, "I have already sent the God Squad to deal with it and let them contact Magneto. And let them contact Magneto, I'm sure they will get a satisfactory answer. "
The big boss nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. Finally, he looked around the room and said, "The tone of the Hong Kong matter is basically set. No one is allowed to mention it in the future. "
After the meeting, Zheng Xian stayed alone. He needed to discuss some things with the big boss.
"Naybineya and the African Union of Eight, I know that they are already openly resisting the European Union. I can't evaluate whether it is good or bad for them to do so. If the European Union completely cuts off their external imports, these countries may not be able to hold on for long. "The big boss touched his chin and said these words.
Just now, Zheng Xian had already told the big boss about Naybineya and other countries coming to China to seek help.
The big boss looked at Zheng Xian a little puzzled. "Shouldn't this matter be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Why did they come to you? "
Zheng Xian said helplessly, "Speaking of which, they may really need to come to me for this matter. Because they brought some new friends with them. "
The big boss touched his emerald ring. "What friends?"
"Tuvalu. In fact, this country has completely turned into a mutants country!" Zheng Xian brought an earth-shattering piece of news. "They have already gathered a large number of mutants and established this country. They even provided support to the small countries in Naybineya in Africa. This matter is still going on secretly, but it can't be hidden forever! "
The big boss was stunned by the news brought by Zheng Xian. "What?!"
Zheng Xian smiled and gestured to the big boss not to be too excited. "Don't be too excited. In fact, this group of mutants are moderate. They were organized by Charles' students. They are not as radical as the Mutants Brotherhood. They are now here to seek a consensus. The rise of the mutants seems to have become a formality. "
The big boss was silent. He was playing with his emerald ring. After a long time, he sighed. "Is there any news from Shang Qi and Li Qianhuan?"
"Their work in the Heavenly Sword Bureau is quite good. They have also been in contact with Director Rogers. Rogers is not a politician in the traditional sense. He is more like a politician. He has foresight and revenge, not the kind that comes from personal reasons, but from the height of overall planning. His perspective has begun to break away from a single nation and country. Many of his considerations are for the entire Earth and the future of the entire human race. "
Zheng Xian reminded him. "In fact, they received some information from the research institute supported by the Horizon Foundation about the predictable direction of the world. Our society has developed at a high speed to an inflection point. It is actually very difficult for a single country to exist in the cosmic era. "
"Because humans have discovered extraterrestrial civilizations. The battle of New York let us see the gap between us and them. This matter will continue to ferment and affect our perception and sense of identity with the civilization. More and more people will slowly realize the vulnerability of a single country in the face of a powerful and collective alien civilization. "
The big boss nodded. "This is also why we dealt with the Earth Federation agency at Zero Hour and why the Heavenly Sword Bureau can be established. We have actually foreseen all of this. "
"When humans really enter the cosmic era, whether it is China, the United States, or Russia or France. In fact, the concept of a country will slowly die out. Tony Stark has already begun to build humanity's first spaceport. Perhaps in fantasy novels, the days when spaceports and space battleships become the safest places for humans will really come. At that time, it will be difficult for us to divide humans by region or race, "Zheng Xian said with emotion.
"Because the vastness of the universe is beyond the limits of our imagination, the number of lives in the universe may also exceed the limits of our imagination."
The big boss took out a pack of Peony cigarettes from his coat pocket. He took out a cigarette and started smoking. As he puffed out the smoke, he said, "Perhaps one day, humans will be able to achieve Great Unity, or rather, achieve Great Unity in terms of understanding the attribute of 'human'. But I'm afraid that's a long time coming. We need to go through all kinds of hardships to complete this unprecedented proposition. I don't think I will see that day. "
"Zheng Xian, your and my lives are numbered. We won't be able to see what will happen hundreds of years later. " Hearing this, Zheng Xian wanted to say something, but the big boss waved his hand to stop him and gestured for him to hear him out.
"But this doesn't mean that we don't need to worry about what will happen hundreds of years later. I believe that in these hundreds or even thousands of years, there will still be struggles. We need more friends to help us stand firm before the arrival of the cosmic era. "The big boss took a deep breath of the cigarette and smoked almost one-fifth of the length.
"We once gave up the ocean, and now we can't give up the universe again. Whether humans become Great Unity in the future or not, we have to make our own preparations. Those who don't plan for eternity can't plan for a moment. The United States has Director Rogers, who was a hero of all mankind during World War II. The Battle of New York pushed him to another peak. He was able to boldly promote the Heavenly Sword Bureau, and even the promotion of the Earth Federation has his shadow behind it. We even know that he is thinking of ways to encircle Hydra and plan the construction of the spaceport with Tony Stark. In fact, they are already ahead. "
The big boss smoked, and Zheng Xian couldn't see his expression in the smoke.
"We can't fall behind too much. We can't fall behind anymore. We have to think of a way. " After saying this, the big boss' eyes began to blur. He was thinking about something, and his eyes seemed to be out of focus.
After a long time, the big boss came back to his senses. He flicked the cigarette into the trash can and stood up. He said to Zheng Xian, "Go and contact the Tuvalu Mutants. China has always been a country friendly to Mutants. As long as Tuvalu can guarantee that they are a country based on pacifism and not a country of Mutants who want to start a violent revolution. "
"As long as they can guarantee this, we can talk about everything!" The big boss looked at the lotus pond outside the office window. "The world has changed. I remember there was a book that wrote this sentence: 'When humans step out of Earth and into the universe, when you take the first step, are you still the original you?'." Zheng Xian, maybe we should prepare early. "
The big boss looked at Zheng Xian, and Zheng Xian nodded solemnly.
PS: For reasons that everyone knows, many things in this chapter can't be described in detail. It can only be written in the Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, this chapter is also very painful to write, but it still needs to be written. Because the background situation still needs to be explained.
A group of people led by the protagonist have profoundly changed the world's political environment. It's no longer a situation where you do what you do, and then the world around you doesn't do anything.
Therefore, the political changes in China also need to be explained briefly to pave the way for the later story. Of course, many things that can't be written can only be written in the imagination. Please forgive me. That's all.
