Chapter 480: You're Not Extreme Enough

New York, like all bustling metropolises, is easily blinded by the hustle and bustle of Times Square when they first arrive.

But if you go elsewhere, you'll find that most of New York's energy is concentrated in those few well-known places.

Outside of those places, New York is not very different from other cities in the United States.

The city has been around for some years, and many of the buildings can be called historic.

Successive mayors of New York rarely choose what kind of development to do on this piece of land in New York, believing that infrastructure construction is time-consuming, laborious and costly.

For New York, where vote politics is held, politicians must ensure that the interests of their constituents are protected.

Not to mention that all the boasts of the cowhide are fulfilled, at least they must not deviate far from the ideas of the voters.

But David was different from those people, he was a political amateur.

He looked at the current New York and felt that the infrastructure here was too backward to deserve the name of the world's largest city.

So, he decided to build a high-speed rail first, which would not only provide proper jobs for homeless people and some minor criminals, but also for gang members, and make New York better.

It's just how to house people who abuse drugs.

David hasn't thought about it yet, he knows that the damage to the body caused by drug abuse is permanently irreversible, and he can only stop the loss in time.

Unless the Lord demonstrates His mercy again.

Otherwise, after those people quit, their bodies will be much weaker than ordinary people, and if you want to prevent them from relapsing, you have to create a bright environment.

It was hard to do those things, but David didn't want to give up.

In his view, the presence of so many drug abusers does not represent the degradation of a certain ethnic group, but rather the inaction of the town hall.

If the town hall does something real and doesn't just talk about it, it won't put so many people in a situation of substance abuse.

He was planning for the future in his head, looking out the car window and seeing the streets clean, which was the first step in building a civilized city.

The vehicle pulls into the African-American community of Brooklyn.

There are no banners to pull here.

David repeatedly stressed that he should not make a big move, not even alarm others.

He chose to go to the grassroots level not to put on a show, but to really want to know if the decisions he made were well received.

David knew in his heart that he was limited in his abilities and that he was a layman in governance, so he had to go to New York to see if his decisions were actually being implemented.

There is no good feedback and improvement on the deficiencies.

Because he is a layman and has no experience in governance, if he does bad things out of good intentions, it is not good.

For example, he stipulates that after the end of work, everyone in each community is encouraged to get together and learn some hobbies, such as playing basketball, watching movies, or learning music.

David dared to let them gather after work, and it was he who raised the New York base wage to forty dollars an hour.

Ensure that these people only need to work eight hours to get the wages that they may not have received for overtime work before, and slash those businesses hard.

The price was that David was assassinated every once in a while.

Some people call themselves religious, some people think he is not extreme enough to treat infidels, and others say they want to kill him to please Satan.

David didn't know whether it was true or not, but he knew that the assassinations had not changed his mind about doing things.

……

The car was parked in the parking lot of the community, and before David got out of the car, the guards opened the door first, holding bulletproof and explosion-proof shields to block the front to avoid a sudden sneak attack somewhere.

David was a strong advocate for a gun ban.

But this is New York, and it's impossible to get everyone's guns away in just a few days.

Moreover, there are always people from other states and cities sneaking in, and guns are completely banned in those places.

Under their protection, David came to the activity center of the community.

It was an oval building, and when he pushed it open, it was bustling inside.

Comedy movies are playing on the big screen, some people look up, others sit in the corner and play with their phones.

Or just pick up a snack on the table and chat, and the kids play with each other.

David glanced at it and found that everyone's demeanor and movements were very natural, it shouldn't be acting, they were really happy.

"Mayor David!"

An African-American man spotted David at the door and immediately shouted, instantly attracting the attention of the people around him.

They left the movie and the matter at hand behind and rushed to this place.

"Please bless my child!" "So are my children." "I will bless it too!"

David had to push aside the guards in front of him, and he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's the power of the Lord to bless people, and I don't have that ability."

What do you think of tonight's Labor Gala? ”

He quickly skipped the topic of religion, disliking the so-called Son, thinking that those people were talking too much.

God loves the world.

The identity of the Son seems to say that God has a special favorite.

David didn't want to turn the Lord's gift into his own arrogance, and there was nothing special about him.

While he was chatting with these people and listening to their opinions, the secretary received a call from the city hall, quickly squeezed through the crowd, leaned into David's ear and said, "Mayor, the police department has received a strange alarm.

Some people say that they saw a red-eyed shadow soldier coming out of the shadow on the ground, holding his mobile phone to search for the name and address of the richest man in New York. ”

"Huh?"

David blinked, his face showed a hint of confusion, and then turned his head and said, "Is there anything wrong with that person?" ”

"The person who called the police didn't have anything wrong, but when the police were checking the apartment next to them, they found three bodies.

Depending on the situation, there is a possibility that improper behavior may have occurred, and it may have been committed by shadow soldiers. ”

"Are they from another world?"

Davy's brow furrowed, realizing that this was a problem that should not be underestimated.

He discerns between the otherworldly and the things that God does, mainly by seeing good and bad.

If something is good, it must have something to do with the Lord.

If something is bad, it could be something from another world or a demon.

Like everyone else, David did not deny the existence of demons in his heart.

Of course, he, unlike those extreme believers, did not consider all infidels to be demons and must be burned to death.

He repeatedly stressed that everyone has the right to believe.

According to the ideas of those extreme believers, David should have gone to the cross a long time ago and let the fire burn to ashes.

Before he was empowered by the Lord, he was a 100% atheist, not believing in God, not believing in hell.

It's just that his gentle voice is always easily overshadowed by more extreme voices on the Internet.

Fanatical believers who revere him as the Son of God and regard New York as the city of miracles, fanned the flames everywhere under his banner and wanted to fight a so-called holy battle to kill all the heretics in the country.

A whole bunch of holy words that he had never heard became his words.

He has to refute rumors every day, and he needs to deal with some people who are making trouble in New York.

is clearly acting in accordance with the law, but because of the identity of the violator, it is also interpreted as a different meaning.

Even if he caused all kinds of misunderstandings, he still did not give up refuting the rumors, let alone change his mind and do things steadfastly.

Keeping New Yorkers safe and reducing crime is David's top priority.

"Inform the people of this news."

"Mayor, this kind of thing is not suitable for disclosure to the outside world."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you explain it clearly, people can understand what's going on in New York.

Tell them not to attack that creature when they encounter it. ”

David didn't want to hide this kind of dangerous things below, he believed that these things were said and made clear, and the people below could understand.

In the past, people didn't understand that it was the city hall that was really inappropriate.

David knew very well that he could have the support of the people, both for miracles and for real things.

Don't look at the Internet scolding him all over the world and frantically lifting him to the altar.

But those who scolded him, those who praised him were always in the minority, and the real majority of believers remained silent and trusted him.

David didn't want to lose that trust by hiding it.

"Okay."

The secretary nodded in agreement.

……

The news soon reached Air Force One.

Nate looked at the report handed by the FBI, he scanned every sentence on it in detail, his brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't get angry.

For someone his age, anger has become a challenge.

Whenever the anger that wants to destroy everything burns in the heart, it quickly subsides due to the weakening of the body.

He rubbed his temples and sighed: "David is really nonsense, what do those people down there know, spreading the news will only cause panic among the people, and let the intelligence agencies of other countries rush into New York like cats that smell fish." ”

The secretary of state stood at his desk and said softly, "Do you want to give him an order to revoke the official announcement?" ”

"It's useless, he won't listen to us."

Nate leaned back, he met with Davy, and promoted David to mayor, in large part to increase his support among the people.

As a result, he got the desired approval rating.

In this year's polls, he defeated his most favorable opponent for the first time, making the Democratic Party firm in its determination to elect him, and he is expected to be re-elected next year.

At this time, he definitely couldn't make a mess with Davy and let that nasty guy grab the handle.

However, the gangsters below and some small and medium-sized cliques often have different ideas from the higher-ups, they are really slashed, and they want to kill David from the bottom of their hearts.

Feeling like he was sitting on a powder keg that didn't know when it would explode, Nate picked up a cup of coffee and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

"The people formed by shadows may be some race from another world, and wearing armor means that there are more advanced people above them, and we should try to make contact with them."

"You're right, call Blaulio from Florida back to New York to see what those guys are looking for him."

Nate made this decision.
