[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The First Mutant

The "Draft of Mutants and Humans Peaceful Coexistence Draft" can be divided into two parts, internal and external. The external part stipulates the norms and guarantees of the responsibilities and obligations of mutants participating in the meeting in the process of contact with human beings regarding their own safety, public safety and other aspects. .During this period, most of the security came from within the mutants.Therefore, it can also be said that internally, the part of mutants and mutants is the most important at this stage.

For the internal part, although there are only 43 mutants present here—including minors, in order to ensure the implementation of the "Draft", it is still necessary to divide powers.Proposed by Russell, with reference to the government's configuration, a top representative is set up to take charge of various administrative affairs.There is tentatively one representative assistant, as its name suggests, to assist the Supreme Representative.

The two institutions at the same level as the highest representative are the committee that formulates the rules and the monitoring group that is responsible for supervising the implementation and ruling of the rules.

The committee represents the interests of all mutants, and members currently include students from schools for gifted youth.Considering their knowledge and experience level, there is now a member quota, which can be increased according to the number and quality of students in the future.Moreover, because of the limited number of members, the members of the committee must also assist the work of the Supreme Representative, and cannot be completely independent.

The monitoring team currently has the X-Men, considering the current quality of personnel, agents sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.When the X-Men composed of pure mutants was formally formed, S.H.I.E.L.D. withdrew from the monitoring team.

Congressman Russell's proposal was supported by the vast majority of mutants, the so-called vast majority, not only the mutants contacted by the Coney family, but nine out of ten of them raised their hands in favor.Even the students on Charles' side, the older Darwin and Angel, also expressed their support, and Alex raised his hand after swaying for a while.

"No," Eric's sharp eyes fixed on the aged Russell, "vote like this, you will undoubtedly get what you want. This organization cannot become the second Skull and Bones."

The father of Eric's almost-married ex-girlfriend was from Skull and Bones, so Eric knew a lot about Skull and Bones himself without asking anyone else.Among the more than 30 mutants contacted by President Kony, at least ten are from Skull and Bones, and among the other twenty, every one has something to do with Skull and Bones!

The kind-faced Senator Russell was over fifty years old, and he looked at everyone with a kind of kindness in his eyes.Before he could speak, Field, the astute speculator, spoke first: "I remember this Mr. Eric, you are not American."

"But I'm a mutant." Also a friend of Charles.

It was precisely because he knew the power of the Skull and Bones that Eric wanted to speak up. He was afraid that he would be fooled by reading, and Charles, who trusted everyone, didn't know.

"Everyone here is of course entitled to raise their concerns." Senator Cardo Brando.

[He is the youngest son of the former chief political officer Louis Bran. Louis is one of the key figures in the Democratic Progressive Movement and is well-known in the country.Cardo is considered to be his successor. In addition, the Bran family has the best reputation among the major Jewish families. 】Zero squeezed Phoenix's fingers and sent him a message.

Since Miller appeared, Phoenix was not easy to use his mind reading skills. In addition to taking care of his daily life, Ling has been collecting information for the past few days.

Although it is necessary to do a good job of keeping it secret, Zero's surname is Kony after all.

Phoenix propped his head on the other hand, listening to these big men compete with each other.

"I think we are all here for the future of mutants. Skull and Bones is Skull and Bones, and mutants are mutants," Congressman Russell smiled. "Should we all be able to tell the difference?"

[Eric, it's okay. 】Charles shook his head unobtrusively at Eric, and said first: "Indeed, I personally agree with this approach."

Congressman Russell said with a smile: "We were discussing it at first. If it is not suitable after the trial, we can actively adjust it. After all, Rome was not built in a day."

Everyone nodded and said "yes".

Eric frowned. In his estimation, Charles, as the "representative" found by the Coney family, contacted Phoenix again.At least one of the three highest institutions will offer him a place.

The supreme representative is too conspicuous, and affairs are too busy.The leader of the monitoring team or the chairman of the committee, these two positions are relatively better, they can hide their edge, and they have the corresponding power to restrain the top representative.

"Then let's elect the supreme representative now," said Russell, who made the suggestion as the interim presiding officer. "The powers, authority and obligations of the supreme representative include presiding over the handling of internal and external affairs of mutants. A representative can be appointed. Assistants to assist in the work. Under the supervision of the committee, the leader of the monitoring team can be appointed. Unless more than two-thirds of the rules formulated by the committee agree, the top representative can veto with one vote. Even if two-thirds pass, the top representative has the right to initiate Larger-scale democratic voting. When the supreme representative is not in office for various reasons, the representative assistant cooperates with the chairman of the committee to perform his duties."

After the discussion just now, even Charles agreed to simulate the government to set up three institutions that check and balance each other, so at this time, almost no one objected.

"Since everyone agrees, we have all introduced ourselves just now, and now we can use a secret ballot to choose the highest representative that everyone trusts. Of course, if anyone wants to run for office, he can also stand up."

No one stood up. After paying attention to everyone's expressions, Charles lowered his eyes slightly.

Congressman Russell waited for a while, and after confirming that no one stood up, he said to Charles: "Professor Xavier, would it be convenient for me to provide a pen and paper?"

"Of course." Charles stood up.

The meeting room is the banquet hall of Charles's family. Before the meeting started, he prepared everything he could think of.

Phoenix took the pen and paper from Charles, turned his face slightly, and saw the young man's calm lake-like eyes, which were still as clean and gentle as when they first met.

"One of the highest representatives," Congressman Russell solemnly said, "The one with the highest votes wins, and there must be no empty votes."

Except for the sleeping Kurt, everyone has to make a choice.No matter how the mutants from the upper class were chosen, there was no suspense about who they would choose as their representative among the dozen or so young mutants recruited by Charles to be their representative.

Phoenix glanced at Zero beside him, and wrote Andre Kony on the note.

Seemingly seeing his gaze, Ling tilted his head and smiled at him, then wrote his own name on the note in cursive characters that he had written countless times.

"...the final result, Charles Xavier, won by 32 votes."

Whether it's pure trust, probing or using, from this moment on, Charles really shoulders the heavy responsibility of supporting all mutants.

When one day, the mutant really walks into the sun and coexists peacefully with human beings, he will become a great hero recorded in history.

Or, the transformation fails and becomes the biggest monster in the eyes of mankind, and a traitor to the mutant world.

How can I explain all this now?

"For the remaining compatriots, five committee members will be selected according to the ratio, including a student committee member," Russell said.

"Still voting?" a student asked in a low voice.

"Or choose?" Ackerman raised his eyebrows and suggested.

Someone peeked at the newly appointed supreme representative, and seeing that Charles had no intention of interfering, nodded secretly.

Bran also proposed: "The four members other than the student representatives can be elected or voted. If any member is not satisfied, he can raise an objection. According to the previously mentioned rules, the result will be canceled if it is established."

"Yes." Robert Coyne, who had been listening quietly, expressed his support for Bran.

Phoenix's eyes skipped over Robert, and without any surprise, he found that Zero also glanced at Robert, and the two brothers exchanged glances without leaving a trace.

"I recommend Mr. Cardo Bran, a legal expert, chairman of the Bar Association, and Senate Minority Leader," Michelle, who was an athlete, was the first to stand up and said respectfully, "I am convinced by your knowledge and character."

The rich man Hammond also raised his hand in agreement: "Mr. Bran participated in most of the rules we passed before."

"Then I recommend Mr. Luke Russell, a professor of history at Yale University, and a current member of the Federal House of Representatives." Ackerman reread "current" once, as if to imply that Cardo Bran's status is not as good as before.

The Bar Association has stepped down and the Senate Minority Leader has lost re-election.

"Mr. Bran and Mr. Russell got two votes each," Robert clapped his hands to remind, "Everyone act, the committee represents all mutants, quickly find someone you trust."

This time it was not as quiet as before, the banquet hall was in chaos, and the young mutants also gathered in a circle to elect the "squad leader".To be honest, they racked their brains just now to choose the supreme representative. Except for Charles, the others have seen it on TV and newspapers at most, and they don't dare to believe it.So jointly, now that they are electing committee members, they also subconsciously skip over those adults.

Even if they theoretically have two votes, after electing their own student representatives, they can still support another person who looks good.

It's a pity that Charles is inconvenient to remind them at this time, this is only the first election, maybe when they get familiar with it and grow up, they will understand.

Charles paid attention to the dynamics of the audience, and naturally found that Phoenix was not in the state, and even Robert ran to Zero to say something, but the white-haired young man stirred his milk tea with his head propped up, looking like he was watching the excitement.

If Phoenix is ​​also worried, then the problem may be really serious.For some reason, Charles just felt that way.

【don’t worry. 】Phoenix smiled and looked at the young man in the first seat.

The final result was that the slightly older Darwin became the student representative. In terms of adult mutants, Luke Russell won the first seat with a clear advantage, followed by Kado Bran in the approval rating, and after Robert communicated with Zero Mary Taylor, a god-given stunner, was selected together. The newspaper tycoon Rupert Murdoch won the final position without showing any signs of deeds.

Jarvis lured Mark to Phoenix's side, forcibly connected to Phoenix's spirit, and said to him: [Mr. Phoenix, sir, please pay attention to the supporters behind the committee. 】

Mark was very lazy today, but Tony couldn't stay idle. He didn't rest for a moment, and he kept paying attention to all the visitors.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Mark has been unable to raise his spirits today. At the request of Jarvis, he simply dragged the chair and ran to Phoenix to sit down.

Phoenix touched the child's metallic head, [I know, you asked Tony to control himself. 】

The four committee members, in addition to the obvious selection, half of them were elected by secret ballot.And those ballots were all burned after everyone confirmed their validity.Phoenix wants to know who everyone is rooting for, unless he uses mind reading to find out.

"In addition to formulating rules and speaking out for compatriots, committee members also need to assist the work of the supreme representative," said Russell. "Since we all agree with the previous regulations, we must abide by them and improve them in the future for our common goal. .”

Hammond raised his hand.

"Say it, Mr. Hammond."

"I just wanted to say that I support the proposal of Representative Xavier. I will do my best to provide support for the daily operation of the gifted youth school."

Unlike Ackman, who is also a banker, Hammond prefers to call himself an investor.He always selects projects, companies, and even movies that he thinks have business opportunities, invests in them, and after obtaining benefits, sometimes cash them out directly, and sometimes put them there for annual dividends.His funds are completely personal, so he says he will support whatever, give him a checkbook and he will support whatever.

He also said humorously: "I recently got a degree in marine biology from Stanford University. If necessary, I can also be a biology teacher."

"I can be a physical education teacher." Michelle, who was named the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player three times in a row, also raised her hand.

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid we still have an important election to complete," Russell said helplessly, "Our supervisory team leader..."

Charles and Phoenix looked at each other and leaned slightly: "I can recommend the top leader of the monitoring team, right?"

Although he noticed that Charles's wording was different, Russell still had a smile on his face, "That's true, who is Representative Xavier going to recommend?"

"I recommend Phoenix to serve as the supervisory team's arbitration."

……arbitration?

There was a sudden sound of needles falling in the hall.
