Chapter 40 Reconstruction Plan

With the activity of Mann's team, Steve quickly figured out the situation in Hell's Kitchen.

Although it feels a bit tricky, this situation doesn't seem to be a problem for Captain America.

Relying on the high prestige and huge public support of Captain America, Steve quickly won over the New York City government and made them agree to the Hell's Kitchen renovation plan he submitted.

In fact, for the New York City government, the existence of Hell's Kitchen is also a headache for them.

After all, the United States in the Marvel world is not so bad compared to the United States in the real world, or in a world where super criminals are raging and superheroes are active, even if the New York City government wants to be bad, facing

Neighborhoods and cities that have to be rebuilt almost every once in a while cannot really be completely flat.

If nothing is done, then it won't be long before the entire New York is torn to pieces by those super criminals and superheroes.

By that time, there is no question whether New York City will exist, let alone maintain its status as one of the world's financial centers.

And once this happens, the New York City government will inevitably be torn into pieces by those behind it.

You must know that Wall Street is on Manhattan Island, where all the top capital in the world is gathered. If their interests are harmed, the New York City government will inevitably become the first sacrifice to heaven.

Therefore, if a stubborn municipal problem like Hell's Kitchen can be solved, the New York City government is still willing to show support and provide all help except help.

As for the reason, it's simple, because the New York City government really can't come up with money to support Steve's plan.

At this time, New York had just come out of the shock and pain of the previous Battle of New York, and several damaged neighborhoods were being rebuilt.

Although there were financial allocations from the federal government, several large consortiums also donated generously, especially Stark Industries, which provided the most money. After all, the center of the battlefield at that time was Stark Tower, although the building was not destroyed.

But almost everything around it was reduced to rubble.

You must know that the location where Stark Tower is located is not a corner. It can basically be regarded as an elite location in New York's commercial district, surrounded by top-notch corporate and consortium assets.

This place was beaten to a pulp, and the ones who suffered the worst compensation were the insurance companies. After all, these buildings were all insured.

At this time, if the insurance company dares to say that it will not pay compensation, these consortiums can directly tear the insurance company apart.

But even though several insurance companies have gone bankrupt due to compensation, there is still a huge gap in funds to rebuild New York. The New York City government does have a lot of money in their pockets at this time, and the amount is not small, but they can only use a small amount.

A small part.

Steve, who knew this situation, did not intend to rely on the New York City government's financial resources. He only asked the mayor for project approval and the full authority of the Clinton neighborhood where Hell's Kitchen is located, and planned to solve the Hell's Kitchen problem on his own.

Of course, Steve is not planning to close the door and let the Hulk dismantle Hell's Kitchen, raze everything and then rebuild.

Although this is indeed the simplest, least troublesome, most convenient and quickest way to solve the problem, Steve's own moral values ​​and the limitations brought about by his status as a superhero make it impossible for him to choose such a path.

Even among the countless parallel universes in the comic book line, Steve has never done such a thing.

He just bought the key plots in several blocks of Hell's Kitchen through Stark Industries and the full authority of the Hell's Kitchen renovation project that he controlled, and then let Stark Industries start the demolition and renovation.

All of this is undoubtedly legal. After all, Steve identified the owners of the key plots in Hell's Kitchen by consulting original New York City municipal documents, and relied on Tony's help to find these people one by one, and then obtained them through persuasion.

With their permission, the property rights to the purchased land were obtained.

All of this is legal and in line with the procedures, which makes Stark Industries confident when it starts work.

Naturally, the local gangs who occupied these industries or land could not just watch Stark Industries demolish their homes, so they began to rise up to resist and obstruct the construction of Stark Industries.

For advancing this.

As for Steve, who works on the project, he is really not afraid of these people resisting, but rather afraid that they will not resist.

After all, this is the United States, and in New York, if this group of people really engages in non-violent disobedience and holds a *** protest, Steve may have to numb his claws.

But now that they are standing up to resist, they are still using the gang's usual methods to obstruct Stark Industries construction. It can only be said that they are playing into Steve's hands. ​​Update without error@

Although Steve is a righteous man with perfect moral integrity, after experiencing the cyber world and fighting World War II again, some of his concepts and opinions have also changed to a certain extent.

Although even in the past, Steve has never been soft on gangsters and enemies, and he did not have the idiosyncrasy of a rich bat guy not to kill people, but now Steve handles this aspect of the problem better than in the past.

More decisive and a bit more ruthless.

Almost as soon as these local gangs jumped out, Stark Industries Security, headed by the Mann Team and whose main members were all former disabled US military personnel, entered Hell's Kitchen.

They didn't use lethal weapons, but even so, how could the gang members, who could only be described as a ragtag group, stand up to the Mann Squad, a professional killing machine and ex-professional soldiers equipped with prosthetics?

The fighting scene between the two sides can only be described as very cruel. When the NCPD came to clean up the area, they had to mobilize all the prison vans in New York, and then brought in dozens of buses to clear out all the defeated gang members.

Pull away.

Because Steve was able to open up the joints, the NCPD's prosecution of these people and the trial process in the New York court were very fast. Almost those arrested in the morning were sentenced in the afternoon.

However, these people were not thrown into prison. Instead, under the arrangement of Steve, who already understood the virtues of private prisons in the United States, they became laborers for the reconstruction of Hell's Kitchen. They applied the labor reform of a large Eastern country next door and transformed these people into prisoners.

The scum in the original literal sense has been put to a new use.

Of course, those who can be sent as laborers to undergo reform through labor are only some of the gang's gang members or peripheral members. For example, gang leaders or core members will decide whether they want to be in prison based on the thickness of their NCPD files.

Squatting in there until you die, you still have to pick up soap after a few years to get out.

Without the leadership and organization of the gang leader, these gangsters and peripheral members naturally had nothing to do and were almost in a state of disarray. They began to work obediently under the supervision and management of Stark Industrial Security.

The reason why they work obediently is that those who dare to explode will be dragged to have a physical chat with Dorio, a member of Mann's team who used to work in the Animal Gang in Night City, a gang full of big muscles.

In addition, the main reason is that Stark Industries promised that as long as they perform well, they will be the first to enjoy job placement rights after the reconstruction of Hell's Kitchen is completed.

The experience in Night City made Steve understand that no one is born to join a gang, and the emergence of the gang itself is more of a helplessness that cannot survive.

In the beginning, I just signed up for a group to keep warm. When I couldn't protect myself with formal means, I had a way to protect myself and my family from threats to my life and property.

Only when interest groups began to form and vested interests began to appear, gangs began to slide into the abyss of depravity and crime, even though they were illegal from the beginning.

Even the worst gangster on the streets of Night City once had an innocent childhood and looked up at the stars and had dreams.

Don’t they want to be good people, have a decent job, and live a stable, if not generous, life?

It's the environment that leaves them with no choice.

However, now, when Steve gives them a choice through Stark Industries, most of them are willing to choose to return to the right path instead of continuing to be a gangster.

In order to enable these people to complete their work according to quality and quantity, Steve specially arranged night training courses for them, teaching simple literacy classes and vocational skills training, so that these people can make a living after the end of this labor reform.

craftsmanship.

This initiative has received great support and support. In addition to the huge investment cost and basically no direct benefit return, this method of teaching people to fish has no direct benefits.

What shortcomings.

Many of these original gang members are just forced by life. After all, in a place like Hell's Kitchen, it is often impossible to survive without being part of a gang.

If they could find a way to make a living and get back on the right track after this, the enthusiasm for learning that these people burst out would be enough to scare everyone.

And such a righteous act quickly received a strong response after Tony used his connections to get the TV station to report it.

Newspapers and media published lengthy reports on Steve's move, praising his kindness and kindness and the effectiveness of this policy.

The unprecedented huge praise not only brought Steve praise that could not be heard from other voices, but also greatly enhanced his influence. Those giants and capital who originally didn't like to pay much attention to him now

They all extended an olive branch to him, expressing their desire to join the project and providing all kinds of substantial help.

A large number of cheap, well-trained workers who are not contaminated by scabs are extremely high-quality labor for every capital.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the attitude of these giants and capital has changed now, and they are no longer indifferent to Steve's requests when he came to solicit sponsorship.

At this time, Steve did not have any grudges because of the previous attitudes of these giants and capital. Instead, he readily agreed to cooperate and provided very professional cooperation specifications and frameworks.

Providing cheap labor to these giants and capital? Yes, no problem.

But the premise is that these giants and capital must also invest and sponsor the Hell's Kitchen reconstruction plan, and commit to a certain proportion of job placements, while ensuring their minimum treatment and corresponding legal rights and interests, and providing corresponding vocational skills training to these people.

.

Of course, these are the proper meanings. The giants and capitals do not have the idea that others have worked hard to make the cake and eat it themselves.

Even if there is, when facing Stark Industries, a military-industrial complex giant that has now expanded to the point where it is difficult for them to compete, they still have to consider whether they are qualified to become Stark Industries' opponent.

So everyone works together to make the cake bigger, and then everyone eats more, which has become the consensus of these giants and capital.

Several technical companies sent professional engineers and technicians to participate in night vocational skills training; almost all industrial giants opened their doors and provided jobs for all qualified workers who passed the training, even if it was just

The job of a convenience store cashier.

For these people who have gone through labor reform and can only be called ex-gang gangsters, even if they are just cashiers or clerks in convenience stores, this was a decent job that they could only dream of in the past.

Although the income may not be high, at least it is a stable job that can bring them a stable income and life, allowing them to change their way of life. ​​Update without error@

You must know that in the past, because they had gang backgrounds, it was difficult for them to leave the gang or find a job.

Not only will gangs not let you get away so easily, but shops and factories will not hire someone with a gang background to work. Talents with a clean background are more favored, because no one wants a shooting incident in their own industry.

Or violence, even though this is America.

But this time, Steve and Tony open a life-changing door for them, and these former gang bangers get a chance they have always dreamed of, a chance to start a new life.

Except for a few hopeless ones who have been screened out and thrown into prison during the labor reform process, the vast majority of gangsters still hope to change their minds and seize the opportunity to start a new life.

Therefore, there were few obstacles to the implementation of the entire plan, and everything went as smoothly as expected.

Except for the two gangsters behind the gangs in Hell's Kitchen who wanted to fight Steve and were crushed by the Mann team at full strength, nothing happened.

Although the Hand, one of the two behind-the-scenes forces, has some extraordinary power, they just feel that they can't kneel fast enough in front of Steve, who has now mastered the power of magic and evolved from Captain America to the Supreme Soldier.

.

As for the underground emperor Jin Bin on the other side, although he had the idea of ​​​​cooperating with Stark Industries, this underworld boss who could no longer turn back was eventually crushed in the face of Huanghuang's trend, even though he himself and some of his close men were able to

He escaped, but his gang and power had disappeared.

At this point, Hell's Kitchen, which had plagued New York for hundreds of years, completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Steve, who implemented the Hell's Kitchen renovation plan, also gained countless prestige and political capital. Now he can step into Capitol Hill and consider running for president with the support of Stark Industries, which has already made enough money.

Something happened...
