Chapter 237: Prelude to chaos
Regardless of whether Jack's gorilla-style courtship was successful or not, what Strange wanted to tell Jack was not the first to tell him. In fact, Strange brought a very good news, that is, the current layout of Green Light Energy has been very, very successful.
Although Norman has mobilized almost all of his forces to find out where the Green Lantern Ring came from, he has not been able to find the correct source of the Green Lantern Ring so far. The whole of the United States, no, I think the whole world is talking about one thing, that is, where is the source of the green light energy? Is this the new energy that people dream of?!
The world is now in shambles, and the entire earth's oil and gas resources are on the verge of depletion. The world is already on the brink of the end times, and anyone with even the slightest bit of foresight understands how terrible the Earth's predicament is right now. Therefore, countless people hope that new energy will appear. Even for many people, it doesn't matter where the new energy comes from. The important thing is that it is enough to have new energy.
Because it's very simple to think that no one wants to face the great famine and riots that will come from the depletion of energy, which means that countless people will die. And it is likely that these dead people include a large number of ordinary people.
So when the Green Light Ring appeared, everyone was curious about where this thing came from. But for the general population, it doesn't matter anymore. The important thing is that they have access to a new energy source, one that does not need to be exploited by Norman Osborne!
That's the most important thing, because in this day and age, the need for energy is just for everyone. No one has easy access to energy.
Norman even had to start a large-scale seizure of green light rings across the United States, because he deeply felt the threat of this green light ring to his rule. It doesn't matter if the ring was made by anti-Norman-Osborne, or if it was made by other national organizations. In short, most of the people who make this energy source may not deal with themselves.
But then again, how many people in this world can deal with Norman Osborn?
The public eye began a massive confiscation of the Green Lantern Ring across the United States, which greatly influenced Norman's domination of the world. In particular, it appeared in Norman's home base of the United States, which he regarded as his back garden! In order to find out who was behind this incident, a green light ring seizure operation that swept the United States began.
Public Eye security guards knocked on door after door and searched them, and anyone who kept the green light ring and didn't hand it over was convicted of a felony and thrown into jail. But even so, there are still many families who have green light rings in their own homes.
Because no one is stupid, energy now accounts for almost half of the household expenses of American households. Who in modern society can live without energy? Can you go without lights at night? Cook without convenient energy (gas, gas, electricity, etc.), or do you not have access to the Internet, don't watch TV, and have no entertainment at all?
If you want to enjoy all modern life, then you can't do without energy supply. So some people refused to hand over the green light ring they received, and this caused a lot of conflict. You must know that the United States is a country where guns can be legally owned, and when the public eye forcibly takes away the green light ring, some Americans take out their shotguns directly from the closet of their homes and fight with the people in the public eye.
At the end of the day, the public eye has been able to squeeze out the police over the years and become a law enforcement force that is completely controlled by private individuals. Except for the constant operation of Norman Osborne in the back. There is also a way of enforcing the law like boiling a frog in warm water. A lot of law enforcement and the formulation of laws and regulations are done slowly and step by step. It didn't happen overnight.
In many cases, after the people reacted, some laws have been implemented, and they have reached a point where it is difficult to return. This time is different, this time the sudden and forcible removal of the green light ring is too impatient, and it can be said that it directly touches the core interests of many people.
Although Norman Osborne controlled the United States for many years, he changed many American laws. But there is one law that he has never changed and does not dare to amend. That is, "private property is sacred and inviolable". Since Norman himself was a beneficiary of this law, how could he possibly change it?
And going directly to the door to snatch the green light ring, which is already the private property of citizens, is a clear violation of the core interests of many people. The world has not collapsed yet, and that is because the most basic order is still maintained. Norman was also well aware that order was fundamental to his rule over everything. Who can he manage in a world without order?
And directly snatching the green light ring is obviously destroying the order of this world. But Norman can't do that much anymore, because the presence of the Green Lantern Ring already threatens the basics of his rule.
And this snatching of the green light ring also caused a lot of riots in the United States, which was a real violent confrontation.
And in the public eye, there are actually people who are a little dissatisfied with what they and others are doing now. After all, the fact that the public eye is Norman's minions does not mean that they are without ideas. They are not the kind of NPCs in movies, television, or games and anime who are loyal to the final boss until they die, and can go forward and launch a suicidal charge against the protagonist team.
After all, they are still living people, and as long as they are human, they will have their own ideas. Unless Norman can brainwash all the members of the public eye of the millions. But that's not possible, he's not Professor X, and he doesn't have a brainwave booster.
During the mission to collect the Green Lantern Ring, many members of the public eye were also unhappy, as they also received the Green Lantern Ring on Christmas Day. You know, even if they join the public eye, they still have to pay for energy.
At the end of the day, joining the public eye and being part of the security team is a job in itself. It's just that this job has a high risk factor, and the corresponding salary is also a little higher. But don't think that the salary for joining the public eye is particularly high, it's impossible. Their income is 19 percent higher than the average New York City citizen's income.
But things are contrasting, as long as they can be a little better than others, even if it is just a little better, then there will be a sense of superiority. Be able to work better, feel that the work is meaningful and rewarded.
However, this does not mean that members of the Public Eye do not need the energy of the Green Lantern Ring. But the seizure of the Green Lantern Ring began with the members of the Public Eye, and a riot from within the members of the Public Eye has begun its prelude!
