Chapter 275:

Racial conflicts in Los Angeles have escalated to the level of riots, and all sectors of American society are paying attention.

From Mayor Tom Bradley to California Governor Pete Wilson, including Reagan.

I don’t know whether it’s due to procrastination or other reasons, but the 2,000 National Guard troops requested by Mayor Tom have not yet arrived.

Reagan was already preparing his speech.

However, no one expected to see such a scene on TV so early in the morning.

Mayor Tom is totally stupid, Umbrella, Sean Rockefeller!

Of course he knew this person, but he never expected that Protective Umbrella would be involved in this riot.

However, it’s not surprising if you think about it carefully.

He also heard that Sean caused a scene in the conference room and forced the seven major companies to agree to make Sean Pictures the eighth largest company.

At times like this, it's not surprising that the eight major companies would seek help from a protective umbrella.

I just didn’t expect that the protective umbrella would be so ruthless!!

"How many people died in conflicts in Los Angeles last night?" Mayor Tom immediately asked the team members.

"It's impossible to estimate, but it's certain that there will be dozens of people. Every day, several people die in various conflicts and shootings in Los Angeles. It was so violent last night."

"Is there any report?"

"Of course not!"

The reality is that many conflicts result in deaths, and both parties have a tacit agreement not to call the police.

Neither party is a clean person, so it would be troublesome for everyone to call the police.

As long as you don't call the police, there will be no records. This is true in every country.

"How to deal with this matter? Will it escalate the conflict?" Tom scratched his head irritably.

After a brief discussion, everyone in the team shook their heads and said, "We don't think so. The umbrella is a private organization and has no political overtones, so there is no way to apply the term 'racial discrimination'."

"Moreover, we doubt whether the rioters have the guts to find trouble with the umbrella. They are not a government organization, and they don't care about reputation or votes. They are really unscrupulous in their actions."

"To be honest, we think the blood can calm down the rioting crowd a lot and play a positive role in stabilizing the situation in Los Angeles."

"Okay, no need to say anything!" Tom interrupted: "As long as it doesn't make the situation in Los Angeles more chaotic, prepare your speech immediately. I want to give a speech to the public."

"OK!"

…

On the other side, Governor Pete Wilson's team came to a similar conclusion.

"Urge the National Guard to move out."

If civil society organizations respond so quickly, it will only appear that the government organizations are procrastinating, and everyone will lose face.

In the governor's view, the Eighth National Congress was expressing dissatisfaction to the outside world.

Yes, dissatisfied with the government's response measures and speed of response.

The Eight are not only the eight world-renowned film companies, but also the eight largest financial backers.

In addition, the Big Eight can influence almost all Hollywood stars, and stars can influence the direction of fans' votes in elections.

There are countless cases where celebrities side with politicians, and they all vote with their feet anyway.

Therefore, the power of the Eighth National Congress to influence public opinion is so powerful that no politician dares to underestimate it, let alone offend it easily.

…

Reagan rubbed his brows in distress, "This Sean can always come up with something new for me."

"It's not bad." Old Bu smiled, "This is a blow to the Donkey Party. Look, look, what kind of trouble they have made. Hollywood actually needs the protection of a private company. It's really, really outrageous.

"

Reagan laughed, no matter whether this statement was correct or not, he would stand up for Sean.

This is not because of previous favors, this is because of Hollywood.

Reagan was a Hollywood actor. During the election campaign, Hollywood put in a lot of effort!

No matter what, he has to stand up for Hollywood.

It was precisely because Reagan came to power that the control over Hollywood media groups began to be gradually relaxed, and Murdoch was just one of them.

Others include Universal, Disney, Paramount, Warner, etc., all of which have formed media groups covering film, television, and music.

The Bada is entertainment, and entertainment is the Bada.

…

With reports from major television stations, news about the Umbrella Company's response to the riots suddenly became abundant.

During this period, the news of the protective umbrella directly suppressed the riot itself, and major TV stations followed each other.

From the scene to the police, from the police to the hospital.

Soon the context of the matter became clear.

In just about 40 minutes, seven waves of people headed toward Hollywood, but all were stopped by Umbrella Company security.

"According to our understanding, because the riots themselves almost paralyzed traffic, in these seven conflicts, the hospital ambulances were unable to arrive in time, resulting in the best treatment time being missed, resulting in a total of more than 160 people losing their lives."

When this number came out, everyone in front of the TV was frightened. This is so fucking crazy!

The chaos in Los Angeles in one day is not as many people died in just 40 minutes in the morning.

Titles such as butcher, executioner, murderer, etc. are all given to the umbrella company.

"So, more than 20 people from our gang died at the hands of Umbrella?" In a villa in southern Los Angeles, a burly Latino man covered with tattoos said with a twisted face.

"Yes, they were all beaten to death!" A man sitting next to him sighed.

"I told you a long time ago, don't get involved, don't get involved, you don't fucking listen, Fake, Fake!" The man cursed loudly and irritably.

No one in the room spoke.

After a while, someone said, "What should we do now?"

"What to do? What to do? What to do?" The man began to roar again: "Organize hundreds or even thousands of people to attack the umbrella position, fight with them, and then see how many people can be killed!?"

"That's a real fucking professional military organization, we're gangsters, gangsters, gangsters."

"I also know that it's impossible to confront them head-on, but we have to do something now, and we can't let our reputation be trampled on like this."

"I don't fucking know!" the man cursed irritably.

After taking a few deep breaths, he asked: "What's the reaction from Florence? Where are the Blood Gang and Crip Gang?"

"They are all keeping silent."

Apparently, several other gangs were also in trouble.

The gang's business is drug trafficking, kidnapping, extortion, and robbery, while the umbrella's business is not only killing, but better killing.

It is impossible to use your own interests to challenge other people's careers.

With other people, gangsters can act violently, but when they encounter a protective umbrella, they think about how to speak nicely.

So as not to look embarrassed.

The gangs in Los Angeles fell silent.

wait,

Wait for the other gangs to speak first!

…

This time, the protective umbrella hit hard, which really poured cold water on the riot, and the restless anger was forcibly cooled down.

Just as the gangs were thinking about how to respond, a Black Hawk helicopter took off from the Los Angeles Airport and headed straight over Hollywood.

Full of Black Hawks, full of rocket nests, full of Hellfire missiles, and a cannon hanging below!

The pilot flew around Hollywood with a gesture of disbelief!

The helicopters of each radio station consciously backed away a hundred meters the moment they saw the Black Hawk.

Through the lens of the TV station, the audience in front of the TV looked horizontally and vertically from all angles, and after repeated viewings, they saw two words from the umbrella logo on the fuselage:

Arrogant!

It wasn't over yet. Not long after, news came that two more armored vehicles had arrived from the airport.

Armored vehicles still have the umbrella logo!

"Um, what." The major gangs became calmer after seeing this on TV.

Those who come out to hang out are all for the joy of swordsmanship, and there is absolutely no need to fight and kill!

"I remember there was a Jonas family over there in New Jersey."
