In his previous life, Tom had seen many examples of such paper talk on the Internet. For example, Zhao Kuo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. For example, Ma Su, Yuan IV and Three Dukes during the Han and Three Kingdoms periods. For example, Yang Guang and Fang Guan in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. For example, during the Song and Ming dynasties, civil servants and garrison eunuchs liked to interfere in the army. Another example is, my Qing Dynasty, hey, I still don’t mention my Qing Dynasty.

Without exception, these guys who like to talk on paper have become cold.

Now, Magneto is here to tell Tom about the superiority of troops, weapons, and terrain. Tom is worried that if he is not careful, he will follow in the footsteps of these predecessors.

Moreover, the media's military openly went to war with mutants in New York City. From the perspective of Tom, a time traveler, this is too nonsense. In the previous life, even the same media government would not have been able to do this.

"I know what you are worried about. Think about defeat before thinking about victory. This is a good habit that a leader should have." Long Legs smiled, took Tom's arm with a soft face and said:

"However, you don't have to worry too much this time. Our fight with the media country's military this time is actually an intelligence gap. With Mystique as a sentinel, we can say that we know the situation of the media country's military. It's crystal clear. How many troops they have, when and where they will be, what weapons they will use, etc.

And what about the media country’s military? Their understanding of us is still at an unknown age. They didn't even know that Magneto had already joined the Hellfire Club, and that the former Hellfire members had grown from more than a hundred to more than 300 fraternity members now. Likewise, they don't know that an organization like our Watchmen exists.

Therefore, in our opinion, the Chinese military, which is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, weapons, and terrain, does not think so in this battle. Their outdated intelligence convinced them that they were the one with the upper hand in the upcoming battle.

Judging from their intelligence, the media country's military is confident that it can capture the Hellfire Club instantly with absolute superiority, just like William Stryker captured Professor X's Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters without disturbing the citizens of New York. . This is why they have the confidence to launch this war.

In the words of my mother's hometown, this is called knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, and you will not be in danger in a hundred battles; not knowing the enemy but knowing yourself, you will win and lose every time; not knowing the enemy and not knowing yourself, you will be in danger in every battle. We who have the advantage of intelligence know ourselves and our enemies. And the media country’s military, which has no understanding of us now, just doesn’t know the enemy but knows itself. "

"Victory in a hundred battles versus one win and one loss, right? I know..."

Looking at the long legs showing off, Tom was speechless. As an omnipotent time traveler, he was turned into a loyalist by a native and a crooked nut?

"So smart, Mu..."

"┐(?~?)┌"

·····

Time, two days later. The location is a bar called the Hellfire Club at the intersection of Tenth Avenue and West Forty-seventh Street...

That's right, the Hellfire Club has always told the world clearly where their headquarters is. However, thanks to various reasons, this bar has survived unscathed since it opened at the end of the 18th century.

However, now, this bar may finally face the first war it will eventually face.

In the bar, more than 400 mutants were already ready to go, filling the originally spacious bar. On the dance floor, the enlarged screen that was originally used to play music and MVs is now used to play news from a certain channel:

"...This is an anti-drug raid on Hell's Kitchen. We can see from the picture that for this big raid, the media country's police and military jointly dispatched thousands of troops. They have even begun to blockade The surrounding streets were gone.

Hell's Kitchen is an area on the west shore of Manhattan Island. It is generally a rectangular area bounded by 59th Street and 34th Street to the north and south, Eighth Avenue to the east, and the Hudson River to the west...

This is the first large-scale search conducted by the government in the area since the emergence of this specific chaotic area of ​​​​Hell's Kitchen. "

In the news picture, there is a beautiful reporter talking to the camera and introducing the history of Hell's Kitchen. Behind her was a soldier walking past in an orderly manner with a loaded gun. Farther away, the New York police had begun to use police cars and barriers to block the road.

"Tch, I really don't understand. If you are so cowardly that you dare not directly say that you are going to war against us mutants under the pretext of a search, why do you do it so openly and broadcast it live on the news?"

The one who spoke was Pyro, the former X-Men and now member of the Brotherhood who needed a lighter to light a fire.

"Being timid is for the people of New York, and being upright is for us. You still have to distinguish the difference, kid."

With a sideways glance at Pyro, the White Queen said calmly. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Tom always felt that the White Queen looked down on this fraternity fireman.

"Yes, the two completely opposite performances are for us mutants and the citizens of New York." Magneto nodded in agreement:

"The reason why they are fair and aboveboard is because the military of the media country feels that they are already 100% sure about this battle. Therefore, under the premise of winning, they must win openly and win completely.

Moreover, through the live broadcast, all mutants can see the powerful combat power of the media country's military, so that our mutant brothers can no longer resist.

As for being timid, that's because the military doesn't want the citizens of New York to know that they're about to launch a war against us mutants. After all, this is New York City, and the military does not care what New York citizens think of the media afterwards. But before going to war against us, the Chinese military was still afraid that the citizens of New York would stop them from going to war against us because they were worried about their own safety. "

"I don't care what the citizens of New York think afterwards? I think it's not impossible that even the president will be ousted from office if he starts a war with us openly in the city. This is New York, the United States, which is known as the freest place in the world. city ​​of."

It's still the same as before. Even now, as a time traveler, Tom still thinks that the media country's military will go to war with mutants in New York City is a bit nonsense. The local government doesn't care if the military does this? Can the president and prime minister just ignore it?

"You overestimated the media country's government and military, and also underestimated Mr. White, a citizen of New York City." Regarding Tom's doubts, Mystique gave an explanation with a disdainful smile:

"You said it yourself, this is just a city that claims to be the freest in the world. How is it actually like? Just look at the current situation of us mutants. The so-called freedom and freedom are just some It's just an excuse people use to fool ordinary people.

As for the fact that a war in New York City can bring down the president of a media country, I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. You know, New Yorkers who live in New York City, where a minor crisis occurs every three days and a major crisis occurs every five days, actually have a very strong tolerance.

In the past, in order to hunt down our mutant compatriots and other so-called super criminals, didn't the media country's military often fight in New York City? Many of them were no less than a small war. Afterwards, didn’t the ordinary citizens of New York say anything?

So a war with us is not enough to make someone step down. What's more, the president of the media country should indeed step down at this time. In this case, what worries does the media country's government and military have?

Moreover, based on my scruples, the media country's military will disguise this war as a deliberate ambush by our mutants against them and an encounter between the media country's military. Then, they can blame everything on us afterwards. Therefore, launching a small war in the urban area is not a problem at all from the perspective of the media country's military. "

"Are there so many twists and turns here?" After hearing Mystique's explanation, Tom nodded suddenly: "It turns out that it was the time traveler's empiricism that harmed me."

Tom Tom, suddenly enlightened, immediately figured out why he couldn't understand before, why the media country's military dared to start a war against mutants in the city casually.

The reason is simple, because Tom has always used the worldview of his previous life to look at the problems of this world. What country did Tom live in in his previous life? Quiet, peaceful, no war.

In this context, if the military goes to war against a certain force in the city, it would definitely be breaking news, even if it goes to war against a neighboring country.

But what kind of New York is Tom living in after time travel? It has been war-torn, advocates violence, and has various superpower events happening every day. The New York citizens here, just like the Afghans and the Yilak people in their previous lives, have become accustomed to the wars happening around them.

If nothing else, let's talk about the previous raid in Westchester by William Stryker on the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. And I don’t know that the New York War will happen a few years later.

Isn't it true that the citizens of New York and even the entire media country, regarding these two matters, are just like Tom in his previous life regarding X-deer milk powder? After heated discussions for a period of time, they naturally let them pass by indifferently?

That's why Mystique said that Tom looked down on the media's government and looked down on the citizens of New York City.

"It seems that I won't be able to speak casually when Long Legs is away from now on. After all, my world view is really incompatible with this strange world."

Looking at the strange-looking mutants looking at him in the bar, Tom shook his head helplessly.
