In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 104: Gotham Longzhong vs. (middle)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
When the staff reviewing the election candidates saw the name on the first page of the materials submitted by Gotham, they almost threw out the materials in their hands.
Gotham's old godfather plans to go into politics? ? ? ?
Of course, calm down. It is rare for a gang leader to hold this position for so many years, so it seems that Falcone is very special.
But when it comes to politics, there are a lot of people of Falcone's age. Now the average age in Congress is over 50 years old, and there are many old politicians in their 70s and 80s, Falcone If you plan to enter politics now, it is not too late, because his starting point is already much higher than others, not starting from scratch.
At the very least, if he wants to become the mayor of Gotham City and then the state legislator of New Jersey, no one can stop him.
After becoming a state legislator, if the Wayne Group is willing to continue to help him run for election, it is not impossible to enter Congress and even take a step up.
But this mayoral election was originally intended to clean up Roy's speech in the style of a gangster mayor. Long, it is equivalent to catching a great white shark in order to let go of a loach.
The members of the state government believe that Falcone will not make such arrogant remarks like his godson, but the problem is that this is not as good as making some arrogant remarks!
A king with a strong mouth is annoying at best, but number one in the national server is terrible!
If Falcone really becomes the mayor, then the entire above and below ground world of Gotham City will be in his hands.
How difficult the old godfather is to deal with, countless people have tested it with their lives.
The state legislators had to scramble to call Falcone's estate, and then they felt dodged that the old godfather seemed to be showing support for his godson, not really wanting to run for election.
The godfather's own son, Falcone Jr. told them that his father was old and had started to retire now and did not plan to enter politics.
This news undoubtedly made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. After all, Roy's mayor may be a small matter, but if Falcone enters the political arena, it may be an unimaginable path.
With such an announcement, state legislators had to intensify their scrutiny of Gotham mayor candidates.
Then they discovered that finding a real mayor among these candidates is almost as difficult as panning for gold in shit.
Anyone with a normal mind knows that being the mayor of Gotham does not last long, so there is no need to say more about the composition of the people who will apply.
Among the 23 candidate applications that were submitted, 19 were gang bosses with names and surnames in Gotham, and 3 of the remaining 4 were submitted by minors, the youngest of which was 6 years old, and the last That one is a cat that lives in the Gold Cup bar in Gotham.
What's even more dumbfounding is that among all the information, only this cat has filled in all the information completely. How about most of the others, they can't write anything less than two bottles of vodka.
To really find out a candidate who can be the mayor in these materials, the state legislators really have a big head.
First of all, even if they can pick it out, it is a question of whether this person can understand the rules of voting.
Secondly, if he is really elected, whether he will scold Roy worse than Roy is a bigger problem.
The most important thing is that if they choose one of them, and the other gangster families who have enemies with him feel that this election is fraudulent, then they will definitely end up being shot eight times in the back and commit suicide.
Facts have proved that Gotham is completely a mud pit. Anyone who has a little bit of contact with this city will not end well. The state legislators are now completely stuck.
Anyone who can choose is unwilling to come, and anyone who is willing to come cannot be chosen, so what else can we do?
The state legislators thought about it, and they found that it would be better to let Roy continue to be in office.
Think about it, Roy didn't use more than 10 swear words in the whole speech, but those candidates, in the short 300-word application reason, all used more than 100 swear words conservatively, If one of them becomes the mayor, I am afraid that all members of Congress will lose their mothers.
In desperation, this election turned into a formality again. Roy stopped the review, became a candidate again, announced the voting results, and was re-elected mayor again. The whole process did not exceed a week.
This will have a huge impact.
The leaders of this gangster city are suffocated. They have long been tired of the reporters and critics who stand and talk without back pain. I have never been afraid of anyone.
It wasn't these coastal cities that were close to Gotham that started spraying, but Detroit.
If you want to say that the worst city in the history of modern industrial development, you have to mention Detroit.
Between 1960 and 1970, the oil crisis led to heavy losses in the auto industry. Detroit, the auto city, transformed from a prosperous industrial metropolis into a mess where people were displaced and gangsters ran rampant almost overnight.
Because Detroit's economic decline is too fast, even within a generation, the group of people who are alive now are watching how this prosperous city is going to perish. They are simply living evidence of Roy's theory .
When Detroit fell, there was no savior. The ordinary people who lost order overnight fell into **** almost instantly. Race conflicts, riots, shootings, countless nights of Detroit erupted with the light of gunfire, just like The lights of the once-prosperous factory were as bright as ever, all night long.
In short, among them, the official department staff, gang leaders, and civil representatives all stood up and denounced each other, and then joined forces to scold those critics who were standing without back pain, and pointed the finger at Congress.
Schiller was a little surprised that such a fierce reaction would be caused. In the manuscript he gave to Roy, some radical debates were deleted as much as possible, and some sensitive topics were also avoided.
The purpose of this speech is actually just to pave the way for the subsequent urban union and industrial transformation and upgrading. Simply put, if you want to fight, you must first raise the flag.
It is to allow these crime capitals in the same situation to have a reasonable excuse to unite together.
Since none of our rot is our fault, what's wrong with us joining forces to make money?
But Schiller did not expect that this actually pointed out the biggest dilemma in the economic development of the eastern United States in this era.
The cycle of economic crisis brought about by fundamental contradictions in the system will lead to rounds of unemployment waves, and if the unemployed cannot be effectively controlled and dealt with, they will spontaneously form associations and then become organizations like gangsters .
The existence of gangsters seriously threatens local security, which prevents investors from developing in a safe environment, and then they will usher in divestment. New investors are also reluctant because of the city's bad reputation. Come, leading to more economic recession, more and more unemployed people, more and more rampant gangs.
The prosperous maritime trade on the east coast naturally provides the soil for the development of illegal industries. Once gangsters prosper, they will naturally be followed by various illegal industries.
The prosperity of the illegal industry will instinctively reject those normal industries, which will lead to the further inability of the normal industries to develop, so the city will fall into an endless cycle of darkness.
Most cities don't have a man born from heaven like Falcone, who can find a way to rule with extreme violence to bring about an evil order in an increasingly vicious circle, and then bring profits through this order to feed back the entire society. The path of the social structure itself.
Therefore, most of these cities cannot be like Gotham. Although they are evil but rich, most of them are chaotic and poor, and they are frantically tempting on the verge of bankruptcy.
The resentment of these city people is definitely much greater than that of Gotham. After all, Gotham is actually ranked among the top few in the United States in terms of infrastructure, population density, and living conditions. The weather and ecosystem are a bit weird, but it is actually a very modern and prosperous metropolis.
But this is not the case in post-industrial cities like Detroit. The rapid development of the automobile industry has brought about an imbalance in the industry, as well as a backwardness in other infrastructures and cultural environments in the city.
People found that it was not a problem to have money before, but now that they have no money, this kind of backwardness will bring all kinds of troubles and make their lives worse.
The so-called lack of comparison with the top is more than the bottom. Schiller's speech written from the perspective of Gotham and Chicago still has a taste of Versailles.
Chicago and Gotham can already be regarded as the best in this type of city, and even Detroit can be regarded as not bad, at least once brilliant, and most people still have it. With a little foundation, those smaller cities are even more sad.
Almost overnight, the situation in major cities on the east coast became a little turbulent. They felt that what the mayor of the gangster said made sense. If no one came to save us, then we would find a way to save ourselves.
What Schiller did not expect was that in the trinity system of Gotham, Chicago and Miami, the initial cooperation between Gotham and Chicago was quite effective, but the next step was not started yet. , that is, in connection with Miami, the gangsters in another city came to the door first, and that was Imperial City.
Imperial City is also a unique city in DC comics. It is the hometown of the superhero Hunter Paul, and it is also a megacity on the east coast~IndoMTL.com~Of course, the situation in Imperial City is definitely much better than Gotham , There is still a basic order here, gangsters are part of the city, but not all.
But like all other east coast cities, the black industry is also the main source of income here, but the most famous ones here are tourism and casinos.
Imperial City is a city with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. The gambling industry here has a long history, and large and small casinos have also become part of the tourism industry. In recent years, the economy has developed very well, even in most cities. When it is reversed, there is still steady progress.
The mayor of Emperor City also has an inexplicable relationship with the largest gangster here. After all, it is almost impossible for something like a casino not to have a relationship with a gangster.
On the second day of his reinstatement, Roy received a call from the mayor of Imperial City.
They exchanged views on the process of friendly exchanges between Gotham and Chicago on the phone. The two sides put forward their own views on the future development of their respective cities and reached a preliminary agreement.
The two mayors who cared about the citizens jointly reflected on the painful history of the port city on the east coast, and at the same time looked forward to a prosperous future. Both sides expressed their wishes for the bright future of win-win cooperation.
Roy will also go to the Imperial City for investigation and visit next month to see if there is anything Gotham can learn from.
After hearing the news, the Twelve Families expressed that everyone is responsible for the development of Gotham, and they are willing to do their part in this inspection.
The potential of the gambling industry is unlimited, and there is also a foundation for the development of tourism. Once the complete black industry does not work, gambling and tourism are the best directions for urban transformation.
