Chapter 4747: X-Empire: Rebirth (Part 28)

When Shiler walked into Stark's room, he was leaning against the bed, looking at something, and his complexion was not as bad as before. Shiler smiled at him, sat down by the window, and said: "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Stark said. "I saw long ago that it should be the mutants themselves who did it. Most of the weak scenes were just acting, and I was almost better long ago."

"How did you see it?"

"I was suspicious before, remember we discussed why mutants were besieged internally and externally, yet they chose to build hot springs. Charles wouldn't do such a thing that doesn't distinguish between priority and urgency, unless building hot springs has another purpose."

Stark paused and continued: "However, the key evidence was the energy I drew from the engine, that was definitely stuffed in directly by Erik, I'm familiar with this."

"It's a good thing you went down," Shiler said. "If you really let the local Iron Man go to draw energy, he might have found something wrong."

"He wouldn't have found it," Stark hummed lightly and said. "Charles wasn't that careless, the energy he poured into the engine was just enough to destroy the armor of an ordinary Iron Man, and that room would definitely be submerged by lava, and there would be no proof of death."

"However," Stark sighed, "he wasn't worried about Iron Man dying inside, the Avengers going crazy..."

"He naturally wasn't worried. There are too many people who can save Iron Man, such as me," Shiler shook his head and said. "I saw Charles's handwriting from the beginning, so it was impossible to let Iron Man die inside. You and Strange were the same. Charles just knew we would cooperate, so he dared to take a risk."

"It's not a risk for him," Stark thought for a moment and said. "I've heard a lot of gossip when I was going back and forth to the parliament some time ago, mutants are quite powerful. The three major empires have become what they are today, and they have messed with them a lot."

"This proves that mutants still have political potential," Shiler said. "Professor X and Magneto just didn't turn the corner, and lacked opportunities for exercise. As long as Krakoa's situation can stabilize, there is still hope for continued progress."

"This matter should be done," Stark asserted. "Krakoa's situation will improve soon, and construction can finally be put on the agenda."

Stark's prediction was not wrong. The volcanic eruption incident was completely a retreat to advance, not only achieving the expected effect but also having many unexpected joys.

After the Avengers returned to the United States, everyone was holding back anger in their hearts. They had experienced such things too many times, every time they were struggling to fight the enemy on the front line, and the U. S. government was desperately holding them back from behind.

Take this incident as an example, even those who are least willing to think about the bad side can only think that S. H. I. E. L. D. or the U. S. government monitored the Avengers' meeting, obtained the news of building the hot spring bathhouse from them, and formulated such a plan, and then contacted the mutant agents lurking on Krakoa Island to complete the plan.

And the most frustrating part of this matter is that they didn't consider the safety of the Avengers at all when dealing with mutants. You have to know, Krakoa Island originally had restrictions on mutants, what if they couldn't stop it, the volcano erupted, the mutants couldn't save them, and even the Avengers might be buried on the island.

And, it's not good to do it anywhere, but they had to go and move the engine of the water diversion system. Once the volcano really erupted, the mutants were killed or injured, then would the surviving ones let Iron Man go? I'm afraid they would chase him to the ends of the earth. Even if the Avengers didn't die, they definitely couldn't protect him, because the surviving mutants must be very strong and furious, no one could withstand the joint pursuit of so many Omega-level and Alpha-level mutants, Iron Man would definitely die.

Even if it's like this now, there are no casualties, the mutants can never trust them again, and the relationship between them is completely over. Even if this matter spreads, the Avengers' reputation is also over. And with so many ambassadors present, this matter is bound to spread.

That is to say, they worked so hard to deal with so many security cases in New York, and in the end, what they got in exchange was a conspiracy that was completely harming them, and even wanting to bury them together. Who wouldn't be angry?

So the Avengers made a big scene after going back, almost lifting the roof of S. H. I. E. L. D. Nick Fury barely held on, but he couldn't stop the furious Iron Man.

Iron Man went directly to Washington, demanding the revocation of the sanctions decree. Of course, those old men in the White House couldn't listen to him, although they also felt that this matter might have been done by them, they also felt that they were very reasonable. Taking a little risk to wipe out all the mutants, and even almost achieving the goal, this was already the conspiracy with the highest completion and the most harvest they had completed in the past few decades, so what they should do at this time is to pursue the victory, rather than give up, so they directly ignored Iron Man.

But a person like Iron Man can only be stroked along the fur. Originally, he might just be out of guilt and wanted to help the mutants, but Washington was this attitude, so he was furious on the spot and had to wrestle with Congress.

Iron Man doesn't like to engage in these political means, but he is a big tycoon after all, he has consultants and staff, and these people are all full of bad water, just wanting to show themselves in front of the boss. Under their operation, Washington was turned upside down.

Besides political means, Iron Man himself didn't idle either. He understands best where America's lifeline is, so he directly announced a medical research plan for Stark Industries, mainly focusing on Krakoa flowers, launching a series of new drugs, and will establish his own medical foundation, claiming to rebuild the American medical system.

This is really stabbing the main artery. Stark was originally a military-industrial complex, and now he wants to be a medical complex. It seems all the good things are taken by you, then should America be given to you?

The problem is that Iron Man is not drawing a big cake, his technology and his scientific research ability ensure that as long as he wants to research, he will definitely be able to research it. If the universal miracle drug based on Krakoa flowers is really researched by him and mastered in his hands, then other pharmaceutical companies don't need to play, and even medical insurance companies don't need to play.

Can these various pharmaceutical and medical insurance companies not panic? Hurry up to inquire, who provoked this ancestor again? It's been so long, only knowing how to tinker with his armor, how did he suddenly open his wisdom?

Inquiring around, they knew what was going on, so they collectively applied pressure, and Washington's butt was on fire.

Immediately following was humanitarian aid from various countries, hearing that Krakoa Island had a magnitude 10.0 earthquake, many countries gave aid materials, and the public also donated money spontaneously.

This kind of thing is actually very common. Once a country has a very large disaster, especially that kind of short-term violent disaster, there are still many countries willing to help, basically money for money, strength for strength, and after that, a series of rescue and assistance agreements will be signed. Simply put, after the other party resumes production, they will acquire their agricultural or industrial products to help them restore their economy.

This is not entirely because other countries are kind-hearted. Mainly, every country is both a producer and a market, but some countries are partial, some produce more and consume less, and some consume more and produce less. But no matter what, it has an effect on international trade.

Producers in other countries are reluctant to see the market destroyed, and then let the local economy recover quickly, so they can sell things; while acquirers are worried about the interruption of the supply chain, and also hope that the original production can be restored quickly, so they will aid the disaster-stricken country.

Krakoa is actually like this too. Wakanda counts on monopolizing high-end medical care with Krakoa, and also hopes that Krakoa flowers can help Wakanda's medical care go to the next level, so they definitely want to help, because only when mutants get through the difficulties quickly can cooperation continue. China is the same, besides medical cooperation, they also value the living environment of mutants, so they also extend a helping hand.

There is not no objection in the international community, but the reason for humanitarian rescue is really too sufficient, and whoever puts forward a rebuttal seems to be a bit heartless, which greatly affects international prestige. Especially that group of old white leftists in Europe, who have completely silenced, and other countries have nothing to say.

However, Europe has also changed other ways of playing. They claim that the thick smoke with volcanic ash from the Krakoa Island volcanic eruption has polluted the Earth's environment, especially the air quality in Europe, and they should be compensated, or at least they should first hire environmental protection agencies to conduct testing.

This is naturally a trap, because Europe's environmental protection agencies listen to the government, as long as they are allowed to test, it will definitely be unqualified, and various troubles such as compensation will follow.

But still the same sentence, Krakoa becoming a nature reserve is precisely because ordinary people can play the environmental protection card, and mutants can also play it. Krakoa countered with a "rare protected animal is suffering from earthquake and volcanic eruption", soliciting donations from the public, especially raising funds at various environmental protection conferences in Europe, making European environmentalists furious.

You say they are a nature reserve, not allowing them to operate internationally as a country, they say nature reserves can also accept national aid; you say he is a country, let him be responsible for the Earth's environment, he says he is a rare protected animal, humans should be responsible for them.

Unfortunately, after so many years of government propaganda, the atmosphere in Europe is a big white left, and there are really many uninformed people who think that there is a beautiful small island full of rare animals in the Atlantic Ocean suffering from a severe earthquake and volcanic eruption, and they donated money very enthusiastically.

What's even more outrageous is that some people even took to the streets to demonstrate, demanding that the European government be responsible for the earthquake on Krakoa Island, claiming that human exploration activities in the ocean affected the geological conditions of Krakoa Island, eventually leading to abnormal volcanic activity, and they must pay to help Krakoa Island restore its ecology, otherwise it is not environmentally friendly.

It can only be said that Charles used the cryptocurrency on the mainland to the blade. This really disgusted the European politicians, it was really meeting a ghost when walking at night, even gorillas would play the environmental protection card. ===== CHAPTER 4748 =====
