It has to be said that the community reconstruction plan went smoothly, thanks to him leaving these matters to Fergie and Matt. Other lawyers were only focused on making money, but these two were special. Matt really didn't care about money and thought about it every day. To protect the environment and the people. Fergie's idea has something to do with money, but not directly. His dream is to make the law firm bigger. Generally speaking, if a law firm becomes big, it must make money. You can't expand without making money.
But the direct purpose is, after all, not to make money.
Compared with many lawyers who are completely focused on money when they get started, these two are undoubtedly willing to do more things. Like community reconstruction projects, other firms’ first consideration is definitely how much money they can make. Or expand their reputation. How much profit can it bring in the end? Fergie and Matt have almost no such idea, because they are old residents of Clinton District, and they have complex and deep feelings about this "Hell's Kitchen". They are willing to make efforts to make it possible. It gets a little better.
In fact, strictly speaking, Hell's Kitchen has changed a lot recently. As the Defenders Alliance organized by Matt began to gradually get on the right track, under the circumstances of a large-scale attack by a group of super humans, all the gangsters understood that Hell's Kitchen was no longer in existence. It's their paradise again. For these scum, there is no nostalgia. Since they can't stay here, they will go elsewhere. So these people began to move to other areas, and the security situation in Clinton District improved dramatically. Clinton Although the area is known as Hell's Kitchen, after the Kingpin quietly retreated and the Hand was severely damaged, it has lost its former terror.
But the further south it goes, the closer it is to the NYPD headquarters, where it is difficult to get involved. To the north is Central Park and the Upper East Side and Upper West Side to its left and right. The security in this area is the focus area of the NYPD, and it is not suitable for gangs to conduct business at all. .So these people can only go further north to Harlem and East Harlem. Compared to Hell's Kitchen, where macho men are everywhere and the police are fierce, today's Harlem and East Harlem are definitely a vast world with great potential.
Of course, the ones mentioned here are all sneaky little gangsters. There are still many large gangs entrenched in Hell's Kitchen. There is no way. The location of Hell's Kitchen is great. There are docks for smuggling and transporting goods, and it is on Manhattan Island. On the other side is the most prosperous area in New York, with a huge market and rich profits. How could the gangsters turn a blind eye to this?
However, they also know that it is too dangerous to carry out operations in Hell's Kitchen. If you are not careful, you can easily be blamed by the police. Therefore, the remaining gangs adopt a low-key strategy in Hell's Kitchen. They can use Hell's Kitchen as a springboard. , but we can’t be as rampant as before, we need to be careful.
As the director of the 15th Precinct, Kai was naturally very happy to see Hell's Kitchen getting better. As for those gangsters moving to Harlem... this was not an issue he needed to consider.
…
Kai is still in charge of community reconstruction. He is not good at it either. If he joins in rashly, it will only hinder Matt and the others. It would be better to just do what he is good at from the beginning, such as... Go find trouble with those gangsters still in Hell's Kitchen. These guys are an eyesore in Hell's Kitchen.
In the days that followed, Kai lived a peaceful life, chatting with gang bosses and exercising, nothing surprising, and no one paid much attention. But New York gradually became noisy and noisy.
Something has finally happened to our slutty playboy Tony.
It is said that after Tony moved back to New York from Los Angeles, he was immediately swarmed by groups of financial reporters, news reporters, and paparazzi like flies that smelled the scent, keeping a close eye on this "news making machine." Among them,
The paparazzi were the most excited. They loved Tony's scandals.
It's a pity that the young master has no longer "favored" the cover girl in the past few months. He stays in his own home every day and has become a dead house. This is not in line with the "Stark spirit". Not to mention that the young master is still
The first superhero "Iron Man" to reveal his true identity on television (Although Kai's identity is public, he has never revealed it on television, only Tony is so cool)
Are the cover girls favored by Iron Man and the cover girls favored by Playboy the same thing? That must not be the case.
At least in the minds of gossip readers, they are two different things.
In the past, when people saw news about Tony, the most they would say was that he was a big dog and had money to burn. But now Tony's identity is different. From the rich guy who was envied and jealous before, he suddenly turned into a superhero responsible for justice.
, can the identity be the same?
This was especially obvious after the Los Angeles battle. This was Iron Man's truly world-famous battle. Although it was not as brilliant as Batman and the final appearance of the deity Kai, and the scenes were not even as good as those of the three Chicago heroines, the problem is that people felt that
So kind.
After all, we see scandals about him every now and then. Compared to other superheroes, they are much more mysterious. As for Kai, because he was held back by the federal government, the American people, just like the ancient world, do not like court hawks.
As a result, this top-notch news-making machine has had no interesting news for several months.
Tony without gossip is nothing but Stark, and he is nothing like Iron Man. Everyone is waiting to see who is the first woman to say that she will become Iron Man, and this woman will definitely be treated like a rising star.
, becoming the darling of the media.
To this end, countless women are working hard, including but not limited to celebrities, hosts, socialites, ladies, gays, etc.
It's a pity that paparazzi, beauties, and gays have been disappointed. In recent months, Tony has either been busy researching steel armor, busy with group affairs, or occasionally going out to do justice. Except for a few appearances in public, he has
The only person he flirted with and was flirtatious with was Stark Group CEO Pepper, who rarely went out to hang out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Such Tony makes everyone uncomfortable!
However, just recently, this situation has changed.
The Congressional Armed Services Committee is preparing to summon Tony. Many members of Congress believe that the steel armor is a major threat to the stability of human society and ask him to hand over the steel armor.
This news came out from Congress and immediately aroused public opinion!
In fact, Tony's summons has been planned for a long time. In the final analysis, it is still due to the battle of interests. The battle between new and old energy is much more intense than imagined. After all, before this, the oil and energy group has always been on the political map of the United States.
A very huge force. Even the oil and energy group is not limited to the United States. It is a global interest group. The world's major oil companies and major oil-producing countries, especially the few big dogs in the Middle East, are interested in
The campaign against new energy has never stopped.
The United States is known as the world's most powerful country, and its technological level is unquestionable. But looking at the development of new energy and even nuclear energy in the United States, it seems to be very low-key. Some people say that the United States' nuclear energy is currently the world's number one! Why is it so low-key?
?
This is true. The United States ranks first in the world in terms of number of nuclear power units, total installed capacity, and total nuclear power production.
However, currently all reactors with nuclear power production capacity in the United States were built during the large-scale construction period from 1970 to 1989. The construction approval of these nuclear power reactors was all before 1982, and no new nuclear power plants have been approved since then.
What is the reason for the stagnation of nuclear power development in the past thirty years? Isn’t it still obvious?
Currently, 70% of the electricity in the United States is generated by fuel.
It can be said that Stark Group’s new energy projects are tapping the lifeblood of these forces. Can these energy groups not fight back?
But when it comes to market means, Old Energy Group is no match for Stark Group. After all, Stark Group's energy... is cheap! The price advantage of oil is not worth mentioning in the face of new energy. Of course, this also includes
All aspects of the issue will not be clear for a while. In short, the Stark Group is not afraid of business competition. After all, new energy is the future. Everyone knows this. Capital is profit-seeking. The old energy group is very powerful, but
It has never been bigger than the capital market.
With the support of countless capitals, the Old Energy Group wants to use conventional means to restrict the Stark Group's new energy development, which is obviously ineffective. After all, the Old Energy Group cannot prevent everyone from making money.
So you can only use off-board moves.
Their current idea is to link Tony's new technology with national and social security. Once the Stark Group's new technology is linked to these things, it must be controlled. Once controlled, the scale must be limited or even sealed.
In short, the abacus is very good, and the cost is small. Anyway, the public relations expenses spent by energy groups to lobby Congress every year exceed hundreds of millions of dollars. If you don't worry about two things, it is equivalent to spending no money.
However, there is also a problem. That is Tony also has the opportunity to resist.
After all, Tony is not an ordinary person. After all, if he were an ordinary person, it would not be the Senate issuing a summons, but the army coming to encircle and confiscate. At that time, whether he killed the soldiers who came under the order or fled,
It is equivalent to failure.
But the problem is that Tony is not.
He also has his own supporters. It is impossible for the Stark Group to reach today's scale without supporters in Congress and the military. Especially Congress, don't forget that not long ago, the Stark Group was a military-industrial complex.
body!
He does not lack connections. Now it is just that the Stark Group suddenly gave up the arms business, causing the original interest group to go bankrupt and reorganized, which makes it appear a bit weak. But the problem is that with the development of new energy business, new interest chains are being formed, and
As time goes by, this new interest group will become stronger and stronger.
This is why Congress is so impatient.
Before the Battle of Los Angeles, this hearing was supposed to have started, but that disaster happened at that time, and the federal government did not perform well in the disaster. Instead, Tony and a group of superheroes shined, which made
Congress had to pause.
Now that more than half a year has passed since the Battle of Los Angeles, the influence is quietly diminishing. People always have new hot spots to chase, and they are not as crazy about superheroes as before. Holding hearings at that time will make the public think that the federal government is shirking its responsibilities.
, this problem no longer exists.
This time, Congress was definitely prepared. They even found a bunch of so-called experts to prove that Tony's invention was dangerous, unsafe, and would even affect social stability.
All in all, the early public opinion was very good.
Most Americans are stupid, or they always think that they have the ability to think independently, but in fact the vast majority, remember, the vast majority of people's minds are actually controlled.
The most obvious example is that after the United States and the Soviet Union competed for hegemony, the United States has been committed to finding itself an opponent, an opponent that can scare the American people. They set this enemy as North Korea! As for whether North Korea is really capable of destroying the United States
, that’s another thing. Anyway, just hard propaganda, since North Korea is the enemy anyway.
So the American people who generally don’t know anything just start making noises and really think that North Korea is the life and death enemy of the United States. But if you ask them, where is North Korea... 90% of people don’t know at all!
What’s more interesting is that the United States has been using this method. Russia, North Korea, Iran, and now it is China’s turn.
Do these countries really threaten the United States? Maybe, but it is definitely not what they advertise. But those Americans are not just as fooled as to be stunned.
Even now.
A large group of idlers who ran out of nowhere really thought so, so they ran to the downstairs of Stark Group to protest.
The funny thing is that they themselves don’t know what they should oppose at all. In short, they have all kinds of slogans, and there are even people from environmental protection organizations who are making noises... Compared with oil, natural gas and new energy are more environmentally friendly, right? But others
No! They insist on saying that new energy sources have radiation... light bulbs also have radiation!
But they don’t care. These people’s brains are like cement and they only believe in what they believe. The Stark Group gave radiation parameters and safety verification documents, but others just didn’t believe it and thought that the Stark Group had manipulated the government. These things were all
is fake.
Well, these people are just a bunch of idle fools. After all, there are still people who believe that the earth is flat and the birds in the sky are all fake.
However, you can’t defeat everyone with one stroke. Some people are really stupid, while others are not necessarily so. You must know that energy groups also like to fund environmental organizations.
What? Old energy itself is not environmentally friendly, so why do you support environmental organizations?
Haha, the pattern is broken.
Without the chaos caused by these environmental organizations, why would the development of nuclear power plants around the world be so slow?
Two days later, countless people watched live news broadcasts of the ongoing Senate hearings.
Tony said matter-of-factly: "...I think it is a high-tech prosthetic limb. This is the best adjective I can think of..."
