Chapter 377: Superman Mayor
It is precisely because of this extreme consciousness that George Stacy will make the radical act of using a police squadron to surround the New York City government.
If there is no peaceful evolution and excess, then there will only be bloodshed and sacrifice.
George Stacy has had enough.
He's really fed up with New York now.
He wanted New York to be what it was.
As long as you are a normal person, you want to have a stable and peaceful life.
George Stacy is no exception, and he hopes that when Zhou Ran becomes mayor of New York, he can change the city, just like the great project they created together - Arkham Asylum.
Seeing that George Stacy didn't speak, Scowlow already realized in his heart.
As a qualified politician, he was never stupid, and he already knew that this was something that George Stacy had planned for a long time.
"Hoo ......"
Scowlo took a deep breath and clenched his fists to calm his nerves.
It's crazy!
The next scene is crazy!
And this crazy drama was pulled up by him......
Without a doubt, it will be the biggest bet of his life.
A desperate bet.
Scollow tilted his head slightly, glanced at the calm George Stacy beside him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "George, I hope this is a gamble that I won't regret." ”
"Of course!" George Stacy shrugged.
"Okay......"
Scowlow nodded slightly.
Then, he stood up.
In the conference room, which had been silenced by an inexplicable atmosphere, Scollow stood up, his face serious, and his dark eyes staring at the mayor John Sr. at the head of the meeting.
A smile tugged at the corners of Scollow's mouth, and he leaned his hands on the table.
On the surface, he was very calm.
But the legs, which were hidden by the table, were already shaking involuntarily.
This tremor betrayed him, proving that he was not very calm, and even very nervous.
The gun shoots the first bird.
Scowlow didn't want to be the first bird.
But now the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent.
It's not all bad for him.
Because the budding bird is sometimes the first to eat the crab.
"Ahem...... Please be quiet, I have something very important to say next......" Scowlow coughed lightly, smiled, and said slowly, "Today is an important day for all of us, and it is also an important day for the world. ”
"We witnessed a great birth, yes, it was a great miracle like a god, and I felt like we needed to change a little bit."
"We need to think about our future, we need to think about the future of this city, and we need to think about the future of people around the world."
"I know everybody's worried, they're all scared."
Scowlow paused and continued, "Because, when there is a god in human society, we will have uncomfortable emotions, and fear is inevitable, just like we used to fear those mutants. ”
"I don't think we need to be afraid, though, because this deity's name is Jake, he's one of us, he's the calling card of the city, he's connected to us, he's the light of New York."
"We don't have to worry, Councillor Jake won't fail us, the city won't fail, and the world won't fail."
"Gentlemen, we have witnessed his past, we have witnessed everything he has done in the past, and we know very well what kind of person he was."
"He resists war, he advocates peace, he cares about the people, he has high morals, he has a good character, he develops wealth, he loves ecology, he leads freedom, he supports dreams, he creates science and technology...... He was, so to speak, a perfect man, a perfect god-like man. ”
"Every single one of us here, and everybody living in this city, high and low, has given him a thumbs up, so we don't need to be afraid of him at this time."
"Whew......" Scowlow took a deep breath, the smile on his face grew more and more, and his voice grew louder and louder, and he said in a deep voice, "If we don't need to be afraid of him, where does this fear come from?" ”
"Have any of you ever thought about this?"
"And who is invisibly creating this prejudice?"
Listening to Scowlow's question, the councillors all frowned tightly.
What exactly does Scollow mean?
He must have something to say.
There is absolutely no doubt that what comes out of the mouth of a politician can never be the same meaning.
These questions are just a primer.
These questions are just one of Scowlow's opening words......
The expressions of the parliamentarians began to become serious, and they sat up one by one.
Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Scowlo's gourd, I think it's definitely not a medicine that can make people worry.
Scollow glanced around, nodded, and pointed his finger at Mayor John Sr., and then, like an exploding powder keg, began to perform an extremely crazy output.
"Gentlemen, it is none other than our mayor, Mr. John Sr., who creates this prejudice and causes this fear."
"Oh, let's think about it, think about Old John's twenty years of mayoral experience, think about what he has done over the years, and think about his governing plan......"
"He is the one who seals off Hell's Kitchen, who turns the people there from a little bit of a gangster into criminals, who creates a barrier and barrier that affects communication, he doesn't let the people in Hell's Kitchen speak out, he deprives them of their power."
"It is precisely because of this discrimination and contempt that there is an indelible darkness in New York, hey, our most civilized city in the world actually contains the ultimate evil land, what a funny joke!"
"It is these terrible operations of Old John that have created deformed criminals like the Joker, and have made everyone live in invisible fear......"
"Do you remember the first public report of the government's boycott of mutants? This is also what John Sr. did, because he followed the orders of the adults in the White House in Washington to carry out this political expansion in New York, which led to a growing barrier between mutants and normal people. ”
"People also started to fear mutants and started to resist mutants...... Hey, gentlemen, I remember when I was a kid, people weren't as afraid of mutants as they are now, and they weren't as many mutants as they are now......"
"It is precisely because of the boycott that all kinds of fears are created, and it is precisely because of all kinds of fears that more and more mutant criminals are ......"
Scowlo chuckled, looked at Mayor John Sr., and said coldly: "Mayor John, because of your various prejudices, the Empire State Building has been at risk of collapsing 15 times, the Statue of Liberty has been blown up 5 times, the Golden Gate Bridge has been blown up 10 times, the Broadway Grand Theater has been bombed 33 times, and Wall Street has been bombed 26 times......"
"New York City government revenues are not being invested in construction, and taxpayer money is not being used to create a happy and peaceful life...... New York, once called free, is no longer free. ”
"Mayor John, you don't deserve to be mayor anymore!!"
Scowlo slapped the table hard and said in a loud voice, "Gentlemen, I propose once again that Mayor John Sr. step down, and that Councilor Jake become the new mayor, creating a New York that we all love!" ”
"Who's in favor, who's against!"
Skolotu saw that his voice resounded like thunder in the conference room.
Calm.
The conference room fell silent.
There were shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
Mayor John's face turned pale, his hands were bruised, and he grabbed the armrests on both sides of the chair like eagle talons, and there seemed to be anger burning in his eyes.
After the silence, the clamor rang out.
"This ...... This ......"
"How dare Scowlow say such a thing?"
"Oh my God, how dare he! He was openly opposed to the Mayor...... Could it be that this guy Scowlow has someone in the White House? ”
"Oh, that's amazing news...... Ahem, this is a naked act of forcing the uterus......"
"However, I think Scowlo is right about one thing, and Mayor John Sr. continues to step down."
"There have been too many things in New York lately, do you have to find someone to take the blame on, someone to take the blame? It must be the old John who has the biggest official position! God has said, "The sky is falling, and there are tall men bearing ......"
"Hey, who made Old John the tallest?"
Having said that, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the twilight lion is still a lion, and Scowlow's political career is over...... Old John will take revenge on him, Old John is not as kind as he looks, he is a bald eagle who will repay him! ”
"Hey, friend, did you pay attention to all Scowlow's words? He's proposing the next mayor! ”
Councillor Jake...... Tsk, that's a hard thing to make up my mind! ”
"I really didn't expect him to have such terrifying power...... Are we really going to make an inhuman guy our leader? ”
"Judging by Councillor Jake's past, he is indeed a good candidate, but now ......"
"I can't accept a nuclear bomb on my head."
"I don't want to have a Dacromoth sword hanging from my head all the time......"
"Aside from that power, I'm behind him."
"God should stay in the divine realm, why should he come to the mortal world? It's a creepy thing! ”
"Actually, if Congressman Jake can still be like before, it's not that he can't be the mayor of New York."
"It's not unacceptable to have a Superman mayor, it's just that we want to make sure he's always on our side and keep us safe."
"Makes sense, actually, if we really had a Superman mayor, a guy like the Joker would be hiding in a dirty gutter."
“……”
“……”
Scollow looked at the boiling conference room, pouted, and sat down in his chair.
He tilted his head slightly, glanced at George Stacy, and said with a smile: "George, my business is done, I have done everything I have to do." ”
"But I want everyone to accept Congressman Jake...... Hey, that's not an easy thing to do. ”
"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain that can never be climbed, people only want to see what they want to see, people only want to think what they want to think, and people only believe what they want to believe......"
"People are always like this, believing in their own minds and believing in other people's ...... George, this is not an easy thing to solve, you can suppress it once, but it doesn't mean that you can suppress it countless times. ”
"Today's events are not necessarily a good thing...... Human tolerance is limited, and no matter how kind things are, they can't withstand the insults and hatred of people's hearts! ”
Scowlow's voice was very low, and he seemed to see the moment when the building was destroyed, and he seemed to see a mountain collapsing.
When a snow-capped mountain collapses, not a single snowflake is innocent......
Superman Mayor, it seems like a future full of unknowns......
Hearing this, George Stacy was silent for a moment, breathed a long sigh of relief, and smiled: "I believe he ......"
Then he stood up from the crowd, puffed out his chest, raised his neck, looked at Mayor John Sr., and shouted in a loud voice: "I support Councilman Scowlow's proposal, and all the police in New York support it, we need a new mayor!" ”
"Mayor John, please step down! You don't deserve to be the master of this city anymore! This is not only the opinion of the police system, but also the voice of all the people of the city! ”
"There can only be one new mayor of New York, and that is the New York Light – Jake !!"
George Stacy narrowed her eyes and crossed her hands on her waist, inadvertently revealing the police pistol she was wearing at her waist.
He asked in a cold voice, "Who is in favor?" Who is against? ”
"Yes!"
The boss of the daily Clarion newspaper, the leader of the media world, the chief captain of the paparazzi, James raised his hand.
"Yes!"
Dr. Kaysen, president of New York University, a leader in education, and a former mentor to Mr. Jake, raised his hand.
"Yes!"
Norman Osborne, an old rival of Stark Industries and one of the spokesmen of the New York business community and chairman of Osborne Industries, raised his hand.
"Yes!"
The owner of the Broadway theater and the leader of the film and television industry, Allen raised his hand.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
“……”
“……”
Human beings have the nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
When the majority of people choose to be in favor, it will evolve into a total number of people choosing to be in favor.
It's a herd mentality.
The parliamentarians look high, but in fact they are also part of the rabble.
Of course.
To have such a great occasion at this moment is also inseparable from Zhou Ran's communication in the past ten years.
He played himself very well.
In the past ten years, he has never done anything wrong.
At all times, he was on the side of the crowds.
Even Norman Osborne, who is his rival, is deeply fond of Jake.
What he hates is not Zhou Ran, but that he can't have subordinates like Zhou Ran.
Interests aside, Norman Osborne really respects Zhou Ran in his heart.
