Chapter 234 Protection Umbrella

The East Room is the largest room in the White House, enough to accommodate [-] guests, and is mainly used for large-scale receptions, balls and celebrations of various commemorative ceremonies.It has witnessed many important events in the history of the United States. The remains of seven presidents have been parked here, and the weddings of many presidents’ daughters have been held here. Roosevelt watched Japanese sumo performances here, and Kennedy enjoyed beautiful performances. It condenses the ups and downs of this country.

Sean pushed the professor in the wheelchair. The lecture on the Mutant Registration Act has ended. As the proponent this time, Vice President Underwood has established a rather good cooperative relationship with the Mutant Academy. A good politician who knows how to show his sincerity.

For the government, it is actually not difficult to promote the implementation of the Mutant Registration Act, to give mutants a certain degree of fair treatment, and to reverse people's long-standing discriminatory concepts, but it is just a little troublesome.There is almost no difference in how they treated black people in the first place, and put that set of methods on mutants.

"What should I do next?" the professor asked softly with tired eyes.

As the leader of one of the two camps of mutants, he took the lead in standing up for the registration bill this time, which undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. If the government directly promulgated the bill, it would definitely arouse huge public opinion and resistance, but the mutants If people put it forward by themselves, the effect will be very different.

"I will continue to advocate for the mutants and exaggerate your unfair treatment over the years. The dark history of oppression must first make some people feel sympathetic. Humans like to divide factions and let them quarrel by themselves. Moderates, radicals Factions, racists, Mutant Protection Association... soon a whole bunch of camps will emerge, we just need to watch from the sidelines, fuel the flames from time to time, and guide the situation."

Sean seems to have a plan long ago, as he said before, mutants are an indispensable and important force in his future map, instead of throwing them aside and letting the professor and Magneto continue Love each other and kill each other, causing countless troubles, it is better to integrate and use it to turn it into a good card in your hand.

"However, professor, you have to be mentally prepared. Even after hundreds of years, blacks have not gained real freedom and rights in this land. Similarly, mutants also need to go through a long and bumpy journey." The young man said in advance Inoculate the leader of the Mutant Academy.

"I understand this point. We have been hiding in the dark for too long. As long as we can see a glimmer of hope worth fighting for, that's enough." The professor sighed.

He chose to believe in Sean at the beginning. In fact, this young man did not disappoint Charles. No matter what the purpose was, the other party did make a lot of efforts. Although this step was a bit big, it could be exchanged for the hope of peace. It is worth it, even if you have to endure a lot of suffering and ups and downs along the way.

"Professor, use your reputation and ability to restrain mutants, and I will give enough benefits to let those politicians start to act. There is something I like about this country, regardless of political games or racial struggles. It's a money game, and the power of capital dominates everything."

Pushing the wheelchair, Sean strolled in the blue room full of French royal style. The room was decorated with exquisite antiques and the walls were covered with gold-edged patterns, revealing a luxurious and elegant atmosphere.

"I don't want to use too drastic methods..." the professor hesitated for a long time, then whispered.

For this answer, the young man is not surprised. If the professor is an ambitious man who does everything he can to achieve his goal, or a hypocrite, then there is no such thing as Magneto and the human government. The most powerful mind in the world The biggest weakness of the controller is that he is soft-hearted, and also has the naive color of an idealist. Morality is the only shackles that imprison him.

"Don't worry, this is a peaceful evolution, no one will shed blood." Sean patted the shoulder of the bald old man, and said comfortingly: "I will let the rest of the mutants see the benefits brought to them by the registration act as soon as possible." .”

"Change must first start with the college." The young man threw out his plan.

The professor let go of his worries and listened quietly. He is now the helm of the big ship of mutants, especially after Magneto and the Brotherhood disappeared, he is almost the only leader of mutants.

"Those young children can continue to stay in the academy, so that young people can return to society. They are not birds kept in cages and need a wider world." Sean said. "Umbrella, Osborne Industries will provide a certain number of jobs, and they can live a normal life. Young guys like John and Bobby, I can provide them with a certificate and recommend them to the State University of New York to finish school."

"Secondly, a private security company was established under Umbrella's name. With mutants' innate talent and ability, after receiving a period of training, they will soon become the best among them. The new company has signed a long-term contract with the Ministry of Defense. Security treaty, joining the Umbrella Security Service (Umbrella Security Service), referred to as the USS, is not a mercenary, they conduct joint operations with military units, and the instructor is a former retired soldier Colonel Bronski.”

Sean has planned a lot of positions for the mutants. He has done his homework carefully, and he also understands the thoughts of the young boys in the academy. Those who are eager to return to their families like Iceman Barbie can get a decent job. Work, or go to a prestigious school for further study; and John the Burning Man is impulsive, pursuing power and status, joining the umbrella is the best choice.

When everyone can find their own place, the group concept of mutants will be gradually weakened, and they will assimilate accordingly, becoming a solid cornerstone of human society.

And Sean, who has been planning to promote all this, quietly built a fence and kept the mutants in it. This is the huge gain he got from it.

"Umbrella Security Force?" The professor murmured softly, and finally accepted the arrangement silently.

Sean pushed the bald old man to the balcony of the blue room, looking at the empty lawn, where the lush trees are lush and open, including a magnolia tree planted by President Jackson to commemorate his deceased wife, and now it has grown together with the country It grows into a century-old tree with luxuriant branches and leaves.

"Professor, we are ushering in a brand new era, which is full of changes and opportunities, but also brings chaos and conflicts. The power of science and technology has made human society continue to progress, resulting in the rapid rise of many new forces, and the struggles between countries , the confrontation between various organizations, the collision between various camps... We need to build a new force, so that mutants can firmly occupy a place on this planet."

The bald old man lowered his head, his eyes gleamed with complex lights, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "You said the same to Eric?"

"Slightly different." Sean replied frankly. "Your old friend Magneto pays more attention to practical interests. He will not be willing to let mutants become vassals of humans, so I gave him another choice."

"Go to the remote African continent, where the warlords are divided and the regime is turbulent. There is enough space for the Brotherhood to show its talents. This is also good for the mutants. Magneto can make the human government wake up and understand that you are not lambs to be slaughtered. .”

The young man held the professor's shoulders, and the afternoon sun was shining. He smiled slightly and said, "You are a symbol of peace, a beacon of light, while Magneto is a clenched fist, a manifestation of violence. The former lets humans put down their guard. The latter keeps the government on its toes, and the two sides work hand in hand to seize the future."

"What about you? Sean, what role do you play in it?" the professor raised his head and asked.

The young man pondered for a while, and finally shook his head without answering.

His gaze crossed the empty lawn and the continuous buildings, and he seemed to see in the boundless galaxy, the vicious overlord of the universe leading an army to attack, and that was the real challenge he needed to meet.
