Chapter 213: Soul Chains
I have to say that if there was anything good about the United States in the thirties of the twentieth century, it was that this was really an era of "money is everything", as long as you are willing to pay, any problem can be settled, but if you don't want to pay money, then ......
For example, the famous Chicago mob boss, Al? Capone is a prime example.
Al? Born in Brooklyn, New York, to a family of nine Italian immigrants, Capone dropped out at the age of 14 because he couldn't stand the strict school rules and went to social college.
Capone's first means of making a fortune was smuggling alcohol. At that time, the United States was influenced by public opinion and passed the "18th Amendment to the Constitution", which completely banned the brewing, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages. Subsequently, he also got involved in other underground industries in Chicago, including gambling and sex services, with an overall scale of hundreds of millions of dollars, which was an extremely scary figure in those days, and this could not buy a cubic meter of gold......
Capone's style was simple and brutal, accustomed to solving problems with bundles of dollars – and if that didn't work, using a "Chicago typewriter" to bulldoze it.
This kind of famous gang boss, coupled with the fact that he was probably involved in the famous "Valentine's Day Massacre", naturally the US judiciary is highly concerned, and has repeatedly asked Capone for trouble, but because of various interferences, it has not been resolved.
Just when it seemed that Capone was about to get away with it, something unexpected happened, he was sentenced to prison, and it was the tax office that sent him to prison.
Because taxes are the only source of federal revenue, not paying taxes is more provoking the government than any crime, and the income of the gangsters is obviously not able to file taxes.
Investigators from the Inland Revenue Department found. One of Capone's casinos was involved in tax evasion, so he took him and a group of henchmen to court. Capone tried to bribe the judge and intimidate jurors (candidates were forced to move to another hotel the day before the trial), but to no avail. He was eventually convicted and imprisoned in 1931 and sentenced to 11 years.
See, money alone can't do anything, and the gangsters who can't help the law enforcement agencies can't stop the IRS from collecting the debt......
Fortunately, Zheng Zha is not the master of the door. According to Chu Xuan's plan, Overlord and Zero came forward to throw out a lot of dollars and hold a cultural relics tour exhibition in New York, trying to attract the attention of O'Connor and Eve.
In fact, this kind of plan can only say that both Zheng Zhan and Chu Xuan are too ignorant of the information transmission channels of the society in that era, it was an era when there were no mobile phones and televisions, and radios were also tube products, and they couldn't be carried around at all. As a result, there were few ways to exchange information between people, and newspapers as the mainstream media at that time were as important as the Internet and television today.
At that time, if you want to find someone in the crowd, there is no faster way than to publish a message in the newspaper, especially some newspapers with large circulation, which can appear in almost every city in the United States. Correspondingly, people's habit of reading newspapers at that time was also different from now, just like job seekers looking for job postings, reading the information column is a very important content, if O'Connor, who was a little from the bottom, did not have this habit. Eve, who came from an academic family, would never have missed the newspapers, because many academic institutions used this way to contact scholars, especially those who were not well-known.
However, the real target is not O'Connor and others anyway. So let Zheng Zha and them toss it, Li Xiaoyi thought.
As a result, driven by Zheng Zha's large sum of dollars, the situation soon exceeded expectations, and Zheng Zha's puzzled how the original cultural relics tour exhibition became a large-scale cocktail party? Isn't there a charge for this cultural relic? Why is this still upside down!
Saying. It's not because you look stupid and have a lot of money, this kind of fat sheep doesn't slaughter ruthlessly, I'm really sorry for the series of God of Wealth from Hermes to Mr. Zhao Gongming, and other agents must also have professional ethics......
It's just that at this time, Li Xiaoyi, who was assigned to work as a cultural relics bodyguard, looked at the dining table, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Zheng Zha, as the organizer, you can't even decide on a dish, this whole table is full of all kinds of meat, even if you have a cold dinner party, it's not such a way to open it! How much money did this organizer knock you!
Li Xiaoyi, who was forced to be helpless, could only reluctantly pick some fruit from the meat pile to eat, he was not the kind of fighting nation of the overlord, and he could eat cold meat steak directly, but it seems that there is a dish in Russia that is cold lard? It's even more ****** than the sacrificial meat that the braids used to eat for the Ouchi guards.
"I didn't expect things to come to this point, it looks like we're really riding a tiger now, right?" Suddenly, Zheng Zhan's voice came from Li Xiaoyi's mind, this should be Zhan Lan's Mind Chain Skill.
Originally, the Mind Chain skill could only connect 4 people at a time, and one of them was Zhan Lan, but radio communication could only have one channel at a time, and I didn't see only one person in the communication network, and the equipment was not technically available.
Li Xiaoyi asked Zhan Lan to practice the fast addressing technique, after all, not every call has to be with everyone, as long as you specify the call object before speaking, and Zhan Lan can quickly connect, then everyone in the Zhongzhou team can be connected to the psychic chain communication network, after all, this psychic call is very suitable for inconvenient or inaccessible times, and it is much easier to use than radio.
Of course, if Zhan Lan can provide a caching service and forward it, then everyone will be able to receive it quasi-synchronously, but with Zhan Lan's consistent performance......
After a while, Chu Xuan's voice also sounded in Li Xiaoyi's mind, "It's not a difficult to ride a tiger, this is very similar to my expected plan, and it's basically not out of my plan." ”
"Wait a minute, Zheng Zha, were you talking just now?" Hearing Zheng Zha's voice in the chain of his heart, Li Xiaoyi suddenly discovered a problem.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"You're talking in the chain of your mind, why is there still a voice in my radio headset?"
"Oh, I'm used to opening my mouth to talk, and I haven't changed it yet."
"In that case, you can use the radio in the future, don't waste the place of the Soul Chain!"
"Gah!"
Although this suggestion will definitely not be implemented by the mental power controller, it can at least allow the Zhongzhou team to change the problem of the Psychic Chain Communication and the shape of the mouth, and it is not a Lantern Festival party...... (To be continued.) )
