Marvel Administrative Officer

Chapter 315 Gambling
Jack was talking... the rhythm slowed down unconsciously.

Many things are like this. When I think about it, I feel that this matter is extremely important, like a hurdle in life, but when I really calm down, it seems that it is the same!
Jack was not in a hurry, so he naturally explained the cause and effect in more detail...

This also allows the US team to understand the current situation more clearly.

After talking for about ten minutes, Jack finally explained the cause and effect clearly...Captain America also understood the reason for Jack and Tony's urgency.

If Professor X and Magneto are ordinary people, then if they want to build a nation, it's really not a big deal...

After all, there are so many islands in this world, as long as the rich are willing to pay, anyone can live the king's addiction.

But Professor X and Magneto are not ordinary people, they not only have the superpowers that change the world, but also the former leaders of mutants!
Whether it is ability or status, the decision of the two cannot be taken lightly.

Captain America only went to high school, but how much he read has nothing to do with wisdom. After he digested the information Jack revealed, he asked a core question:
"How many mutants are there in the world right now?"

If you want to build a country, population is the key!

Regardless of the professor and Magneto, if there are no mutants to follow, then the so-called mutant nation is just a joke.

Jack understands what Captain America's question means, but Captain America obviously thinks the question is too simple!

But before correcting his question, Jack still answered honestly:
"Currently, there are more than 9000 mutants on the North American continent, and this number is still expanding...or it should be said to be expanding rapidly. It is very likely that next month, mutants will exceed the [-] mark."

If you want to say who in this world knows the details of mutants best, it really doesn't have to be Professor X, but the mutant support club...

Thanks to the data provided by the Mutant Support Association, Jack also knows the information about Mutants.

Just looking at Captain America's brows suddenly relaxed, Jack knew what he was thinking without having to think about it. He is only such a small person, so there is nothing to worry about!

It should be said that the US team at this time only understood the dynamics of the matter, but did not know the mystery behind it.

But Jack was tired of talking at this time, he pushed Tony and motioned for him to explain...

Tony was not hypocritical, and then Jack continued to explain:

"Mutants, in a narrow sense, refer to human beings who have undergone genetic mutations since birth and possess superpowers.

Compared with the 70 billion human beings, the number of such people is a very small part.

But in a broad sense, all people with superpowers can actually be called mutants, and this includes you...Captain America.

The most important thing is that with the advancement of science and technology and changes in the environment, the number of people with superpowers is increasing exponentially.

Perhaps it seems that mutants are only a small part now, but what about ten or twenty years from now? "

The US team answered unconsciously: "You mean that mutants will become the mainstream of human society in the future?"

Tony replied: "This is just a guess, but there is a high probability that it will happen."

At this time, Jack explained from another angle: "At present, most mutants are at the bottom of society, belonging to the marginal class of society.

But if Jianguo is taught, their education system must be very different from ours, so will mutants demand a certain political status?

If they really make such a request, will human society meet it?
Don't give... Obviously there will be a conflict. "

Captain America frowned and said, "As a member of Earth, I feel that if mutants really make corresponding political demands, we should respond to them. This is their due right!"

To the American team's answer, Tony couldn't help but snorted coldly:

"Innocent! You give them this and they ask for more!"

Just as Captain America was about to refute, Tony had already continued before he spoke:
"I know you don't know much about politics, so let me tell you from another perspective, why mutants can't be allowed to establish a country.

As we all know, another leader of the mutants, Magneto, was born with the superpower of manipulating magnetism...

At present, the financial system on the earth cannot avoid gold. The reserves of most countries use gold as the unit of measurement, but for Magneto, gold is just a matter of waving!
If the mutants need supplies after the founding of the nation, Magneto can create endless gold bricks for the mutant nation to use,

At that time, the financial system of the earth will completely collapse! "

Jack had to admit that the example Tony gave was very vivid. Looking at it from this direction, one could know the great harm of mutants establishing a nation.

This example also made the US team realize that his thinking was too one-sided, and he didn't think about these aspects at all.

However, the US team is also worthy of being synonymous with sobriety in the world. He immediately asked a core question,
"Can we stop Professor X?"

The answer is naturally: no!

A Professor X who has no bottom line is more terrifying than a nuclear bomb...

Unless there is a 100% sure plan, otherwise...neither Jack nor Tony will agree to use force against the professor.

The US team got the answer he wanted just by looking at the expressions of the two, so he continued to ask:

"You came to me, what do you need me to do?"

After Jack and Tony figured out Professor X's purpose, they came to the US team immediately. Naturally, they had something to ask, otherwise they didn't need to waste so much talk to let the US team know the seriousness of the matter.

Then Jack said:

"I hope you can speak to people all over the world on TV to persuade mutants not to join Professor X's plan."

What is the biggest advantage of the US team?
It's not proficient fighting skills, nor is it an extraordinary physique... To be honest, in terms of the extraordinary people who are emerging in an endless stream on the earth, the combat effectiveness of the US team is at best ranked in the third echelon.

But this does not prevent the US team from becoming the leader of the extraordinary world!
The most important reason for this is that Captain America, as the world's first superhero, has unparalleled credibility!
Whether they are ordinary people or mutants, they all grew up listening to the stories of Captain America...

It's hard to say how many of the superheroes currently in the world were influenced by Captain America, and finally embarked on the road to becoming a superhero.

For example: Iron Man.

This old man probably grew up listening to stories about Captain America!

In the absence of using force against the professor, or even having too much irritating behavior, asking Captain America to say a "fair word" is the best way Jack and Tony can think of at the moment.

After listening to Jack's request, the US team asked a little unconfidently:

"Will they listen to what I say?"

Before Jack spoke, a voice came from the corridor:
"Captain, if you don't try... how will you know the answer?"

The three of them looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Falcon turning his wheelchair and sliding out of the aisle...

Captain America was the first to feel something was wrong. He lived under the same roof as Falcon, and he was very familiar with his partner's way of speaking.

"who are you?"

Captain America stood up with a cane on his face, with a wary expression on his face.

On the sofa, Jack and Tony were there, unmoved.

Falcon showed a smile:
"Hello, Captain! Sorry to start a conversation with you in this way... I should introduce myself, I am Professor X! But I would prefer you to call me Charles."

Captain America looked back at Jack and Tony, who spread their hands together with helplessness on their faces.

And Professor X controlled the Falcon and continued:

"I have just listened to all your conversations... To be honest, I am very disappointed, because you are considered the elite of the human world, but you still have stubborn prejudices against mutants! I can't change your thoughts with words, But the truth will tell you... how wrong you were!"

Jack's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in a deep voice:

"What do you want to do?"

Falcon showed a weird smile: "Eric and I are going to transform "Utopia". After half a year, we will announce the news of the founding of mutants around the world. During this half year, you can do it in the normal way." Propaganda... but half a year later, the results will tell you how determined the idea of ​​mutants to build a nation is."

It was so!
Jack already understood what the professor was thinking, and he immediately said along the lines:

"Is this a gamble? But you can cheat!"

Falcon smiled again: "I will not use mind control to deal with my compatriots. On this point, Mr. Murdoch can rest assured."

That was all Jack wanted, and he went on to ask:

"So what's the prize of the game?"

Falcon: "If the mutants can't establish a country, it means that the mutants don't need me and Eric. At that time, the two of us will find a place to retire."

"No, it's not enough. If you lose, you must return the spiritual scepter and the cosmic cube to us."

Falcon: "Mr. Murdoch seems very confident. Now that I've made the bet, what about you?"

Jack replied in a deep voice: "If I lose, I will help you get the political status that the mutant nation deserves."

"A word is settled!"

After Falcon finished his last sentence, he fell asleep directly.

And Tony couldn't help exclaiming: "Jack, you are crazy! How could you make such a bet with him?"

Jack didn't answer Tony's question right away, but checked Falcon's condition, made sure that the professor's mind had left his body, and then signaled Tony to open the mind shielding device...

When everything was finished, Jack seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the sofa.

Tony stood in front of Jack and asked:
"What the hell are you up to?"

Jack replied angrily: "I'm trying to maintain world peace!"

Tony was at a loss for words for a while, but he quickly realized and asked:
"You mean to let the professor hear all of our conversations?"

Jack nodded and replied:

"Since you can't hide it from him, it's better to let him listen directly..."

"So what you just said was all lies?"

Jack shook his head and said:
"No, that's all the truth, I really want to gamble with him...

Tony, haven't you taken over reality yet?There is nothing we can do to stop him!This is already the best result I can get!At least, we don't need another war! "

Of course Tony understood what Jack meant, but his heart couldn't be calm,
"At the last minute, he will cheat and we will lose!"

The US team, who had been silent all this time, also interjected at this time: "I agree with Tony's point of view; although I am not familiar with him, the professor will not give up easily... In fact, as long as he shows his ability just now, we will Only lose."

Whatever Tony and Captain America can think of, Jack has already thought of it!

As long as a person breaks through the bottom line once, then there is no bottom line for the rest.

When the professor no longer sets up a moral cage by himself, then there is really nothing in this world that can restrict him!
Therefore, a fair game does not exist at all!

Jack is not naive enough to use this gamble to defeat the professor...

"Tony, Captain, I have an alternate plan!"

Tony and Captain America looked at each other, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts, especially Tony... He couldn't help asking:

"Isn't the big guy your backup plan?"

Jack shook his head and said, "No, that's not an alternative plan, that's death with jade and stone."

"Then what other tricks do you have?"

Jack explained: "The professor's ability is incomprehensible to human beings, and we have no way to install a mind shielding device on the whole world!
But the professor's ability can only work on humans, what if his opponent is not human? "

Tony had vaguely understood what Jack meant, and in order to confirm his conjecture, he asked:
"What do you want to do?"

Jack showed his cards:
"I want you to help Dr. Zola do an optimization!"

Tony instantly rebuffed, "Impossible!"

Then he paused, walked from one end of the sofa to the other, and then continued:

"Dr. Zola's level of danger is not lower than that of the professor. You are using one mistake to solve another mistake. Once you fail, do you know the consequences?"

"World ruins? Come on, Tony, if we do nothing, the world could still be ruined!"

Tony was very dissatisfied with Jack's "sophistry", he mocked:
"At the beginning, you kept instilling in me the dangers of artificial intelligence to the world, but now, you want me to create a dangerous artificial intelligence with my own hands!"

"This time, that time, or can you offer a better way?"

Jack had no choice but to act foolishly!
In fact, Jack certainly knew that his idea would take a lot of risk. The reason why he proposed it was because of the conversation he had with Dr. Zola during the Battle of New York...

From that conversation, Jack had a vague feeling that Dr. Zola was not as heinous as the rumors said.

More importantly... the memory of the previous life told Jack that superheroes can defeat artificial intelligence, but they may not be able to defeat the blackened professor.

However, these things obviously cannot be used as a basis to persuade Tony, so the two fell silent at the same time.

After a long time, Captain America broke the silence and said loudly:
"Maybe there are many difficulties we have to face, but we can take it step by step, maybe things are not as bad as we imagined!"

It has to be said that Captain America deserves to be the political commissar of Marvel. After eating this bowl of chicken soup, Jack and Tony, who are at loggerheads, can only temporarily die down.
