Chapter 243: Disaster Control Bureau (Three Watches!) )
As Stark speculated, the post-war reconstruction of New York City became the city's biggest problem today.
It's not like you're going to have to start all over again with three or five buildings, and after the Zitari and an alien beast, New York, especially Manhattan, was almost completely filled in, and God knows how many soldiers and civilians died in this disaster.
In the following month, all the relevant personnel basically focused on the word "poor". The New York City government went to the state government to cry poverty, the state government went to the federal government to cry poverty, and then Mr. President went to the capitalists to cry poverty......
If this is a competition, then I am afraid that there will be no suspense about the outcome when the major insurance companies jump out in the end. Because if you want to say who is worse in this disaster, there is really no one who can compare to the insurance company, if you really do things according to the prescribed contract, then the insurance industry will have to compensate for the loss of construction property and human life in most cities. Obviously, that's simply not practical, and if that's the case, insurance executives across the U.S. will probably have to start planning to run away now.
Anyway, everyone pushed and shoved, and in the end, the two words were highlighted, no money! Mr. President lobbied and raised donations all day long, and his leather shoes were rotten and he didn't get a few dollars.
Of course, international friends also have to raise donations, but everyone is very polite to stop at the moment, symbolically donating some money, probably conveying a kind of "we have contributed" meaning and the end of the matter.
In desperation, the White House threw out contracts on a large scale to attract retail investors to help with the work. They offer lucrative terms and sign contracts with individuals and small groups to help clean up the battlefield, and intentionally or unintentionally leave loopholes in the contract that allow them to exploit loopholes to make money. This approach really worked, and a large number of retail investors were attracted to help clean up the battlefield, including the famous villain Vulture in "Spider-Man: Homecoming Season......
But of course, this is only a drop in the bucket. Now New York is a bottomless pit, and a large group of people smashing pots and selling iron cannot fill one percent of this hole, and if you want to rebuild it, it will be a huge project, not an overnight thing.
Mr. President wanted to cry without tears. As we all know, the president of the United States is equivalent to a contract worker, and after his term of office has expired, he cannot continue to sit in this position for the next term. But this Mr. President's face is obviously very bad, everyone sits in this position well, and there are constant moths throughout his tenure, and it is a xenobiotic beast and a human experiment, and this time a group of aliens simply came to blow up New York.
According to this situation, I am afraid that until he expires his term, New York will have no hope of returning to the status quo ante, and he will definitely be detained as the "worst president in history". The enthusiastic masses don't care whether the alien invasion has anything to do with him, anyway, there are so many moths during his tenure, a financial deficit, and no shame to see people, critics are afraid that he will be sprayed so that his own mother will not recognize him.
And then at this moment, the savior of the White House appeared.
Maybe this is the characteristic of the American comic world, every time you fight this kind of devastating battle, there must always be at least one good person who is rich and influential, and happens to have a high ideological consciousness to come out to deal with the aftermath.
Next door was some playboy with a weird fetish for going out in the middle of the night to fly the wall, and here it was the reborn Tony Stark.
Stark showed up at the White House with a large sum of money and a complete plan, and volunteered to take on the role of rebuilding New York. He relied on his resounding reputation to break through the joints and use his influence to attract more entrepreneurs to invest.
Unexpectedly, it was none other than Wilson Fisk, who first responded to the call, but Wilson Fisk, who started his career by committing crimes. Kim and the big guy are more concerned about the construction of New York than anyone else, and he has contributed the most money and effort except Stark.
After all, he is not the underworld emperor of New York, and now that the whole of New York is gone, won't he become the emperor in the refugee slum
Stark Group is the leading boss of the company, and Stark's reputation as Iron Man is skyrocketing, and many people soon responded to the call and joined in. The capitalists, of course, are not convinced by the government's rhetoric and good-looking empty promises, but more people trust the potential of Stark's golden signboard.
The White House was so happy, and Mr. President felt that Stark was simply a reinvented parent of his political career, as if even Stark's arrogant face looked more pleasing to the eye!
The other party took out such a big benefit, and the government naturally couldn't help but express it, so the government temporarily integrated Stark's reconstruction forces to form a new high-level agency, which was later known as the famous Marvel special agency "Disaster Control Bureau", an agency specifically responsible for wiping the ass of superheroes.
The nature of this organization is similar to that of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it is also composed of elite agents and fighters from major intelligence and military departments, and finally forms a large multi-functional and complex organization. As Tony Stark, who contributed the most money and contributed the most, naturally became the director of the Disaster Control Bureau, and he can be regarded as a high-level official.
However, with the advent of the Disaster Control Bureau, the small contracts signed by the previous government will naturally be nullified. A vulture couldn't even wait to sell his pants, threw all his belongings into this prehistoric pit, and was dreaming of making a fortune, when Mr. Stark waved his hand, and the contract was nullified!
The vulture went bankrupt on the spot, and stopped slapping the table on the spot, and took a group of friends to go underground and start trading without capital......
Stark's spirit of stepping up and taking the lead at such a critical juncture is admirable, but Richard is not optimistic about it.
From the history of the original Marvel works, Tony Stark is a qualified businessman, a world-class scientist, and an admirable superhero, but only a politician who has failed to the extreme.
The stains on Stark's life are basically all after he touched politics, and Stark's series of suffocating operations when he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the comics are simply not mentioned. Although Tony in the MCU movie is not so badly stained, from the perspective of his personal character, Richard is still not very optimistic about his running into politics.
But it's just a matter of thinking, and Richard is not too idle to run around and point fingers at others. After all, they haven't gotten acquainted enough to get acquainted with each other, and he doesn't have much position to dictate other people's choices.
What satisfied Richard was that the boiled egg guy was really trustworthy, and the repair cost of his house was compensated, and even a lot more, and I don't know if it was counted as his labor fee in New York. Richard was not pretentious, and accepted it generously. With the money, he could expand the estate or dig a swimming pool in his backyard or something.
And what he didn't expect at all was that Asgard actually had something to say about the deep pit that Thor blew up in his yard.
Just a day after the battle, Thor arrived in his backyard with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
