Chapter 463: The Broken Window Theorem

"Right up front is the New York City police department. Martin gestured forward, "Bald Mike, they're all running away there." ”

After several waves of street encounters, the gang team convened by the neighborhood bosses was broken up again and again, and now the number of temporary workers who have risen has reached the size of thousands of people, and even some of the original middle and lower class elements of the gang have begun to turn against the water and join this team to seize power.

Guta asked, "Do you want to call the police and arrest us?"

"How could it be, they just went in and took refuge. "The NYPD has less than 30 staff, so what can it do?"

Guta was surprised, "In such a big city, there are less than 30 policemen, how can we maintain law and order in normal times?"

As soon as his words fell, a neat answer sounded behind him, "Of course it's up to our street gangs!"

"You guys?" Guta was even more confused, "Why does the underworld maintain law and order?"

Ji Aojian said with a smile, "If they have a land, it is equivalent to having an industry, and for the long-term and fixed income, it is the most reasonable way to collect protection fees on a regular basis." Therefore, of course, the street gangs want to maintain order and let everyone operate with peace of mind. ”

"Oh, that's the truth. ”

"Besides, the root cause of the gang's rise is the lack of municipal capacity in New York, which is too few police to provide adequate security. Therefore, the enthusiastic citizens of New York have taken the initiative to maintain the stability of the streets, which is an act of self-government of the people, can it be called the underworld?"

"Sir, you're so right!" a group of people who followed behind couldn't help but burst into tears, "We are indeed the self-government of the community. It's not a triad. ”

Ji Aojian nodded, "You are a dynamic social group. It represents the future and hope of the city. ”

Guta's eyes were dizzy, and he felt that he could not understand it more and more.

Miller, who was exploring his way ahead, ran back. The report said, "Mike, they did go to the police station. ”

Ji Aojian waved his hand, "Rush in and drive them out." ”

Everyone was shocked, "What?"

"I said rush in and chase people!" Ji Aojian said leisurely, "Isn't there only a little bit of police in there, there are so many of you now, are you still afraid of those policemen? ”

"Isn't that okay?" Martin said hesitantly. "Although the police in New York are very incompetent, there has never been a storm on the police station before. ”

"That's right. Ji Aojian waved his hand, "In the past, Mike and they didn't dare to storm the police station, but now you have rushed, which means that their time has passed." ”

Everyone was stunned, and when they thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Besides, why did Mike take refuge in the police station? This shows that they have long been in collusion with the police, and they have an alliance in the local area. Ji Aojian said solemnly. "To really defeat these street bosses, you have to take down their umbrellas together. It's time to tell those cops who the real owners of New York are!"

Guta picked up his rifle and slammed his shot at the gate of the police station.

The people behind him were startled. After half a bang, I didn't hear any movement inside.

"The police are so weak that they don't even dare to fight back!" Martin finally came to his senses. Laughing heartily, he said, "Guys, rush." We will be the masters of New York in no time!"

Then, Guta watched as the mighty stream of people rushed by. The houses in front of it were directly washed down.

"Mr. Governor, the police station has really been flattened!" the young man craned his neck and looked forward, "Mike and they have also been kicked out and fled again. ”

"That's right, we're pretty much done. Ji Ao Kendao, "The next chase will happen automatically, sweeping these old street bosses into the garbage heap of history." ”

The ancient pagoda walked along with the flow of people, and saw that most of the people were chasing after the old boss, and many people were scattered to the streets and alleys, and wondered, "Are they going home?"

Ji Aojian shook his head, "No." ”

"Is that going to chase and intercept?"

"Not really. ”

"And what did they do?"

"It's good to go. ”

"What's the benefit?"

"You can see it on the roof. ”

Guta immediately climbed up to a house on the side of the street, looked around, and was stunned:

"Why, the whole city is smashing and looting?"

"Because, now it's out of order. Ji Aojian was by his side, and he also looked at the scattered fires everywhere.

"Sir, why is there such a sudden disorder now?"

"This is called the broken window theorem. Ji Ao Kendao, "Guta, if there is a window on a street that is broken and no one cares, what do you think will happen next?"

Guta thought for a moment, "His neighbors will help him fix the windows." ”

The contrast between this answer and the expectation was too great, Ji Aojian almost felt unstable under his feet, and asked curiously, "Why do you think like that?"

"Isn't it the proper duty of neighbors and friends to help each other?" Guta said seriously, "In our tribe, if we see any damage from the people next to us, we will help repair it." ”

"You are the point of view of primitive communism. Ji Aojian held his forehead and sighed, "Listen, Guta, if there is a window on a street that is not broken, and no one cares, soon all the windows on this street will be broken." ”

Guta asked blankly, "What's going on?"

"There is an impulse to do evil in human nature. If we see examples of evil, but there is a lack of external supervision and management, we will follow suit. ”

"Lack of management?"

"Guta, for the city, what does it rely on to maintain order?"

"Police...... And the underworld. ”

"Yes, what's the situation with the police now?"

"They can't count on it, the police station has been shut down. ”

"What about the underworld?"

"The previous boss is being hunted down, and the new boss has not yet been created, so no one can come forward to maintain order. ”

"So. Now is the blank period of order collapse, and don't do it at this time. When?" Ji Aojian sighed, "Even if it was a demonstration that had been planned normally. In the process of marching, it is easy to evolve into smashing and looting, not to mention the violent action of gangs to seize power, how can these people have any sense of order?"

Guta still had questions, "But at this time, there is not much profit from robbing on the streets, and the most important thing for these people at the moment is not to quickly defeat Mike and them?"

"There are only a few new boss positions, and most people know they don't have a chance. "Ji Ao Kendo. "Who do you think is most likely to be the street boss of the future?"

"It's Martin Miller, these people are the first to oppose the water, the most appealing. ”

"yes, so Martin will aggressively chase after Mike and take them down completely. But for others, taking advantage of the chaos is the most affordable way to get a ticket. In the future, the bigwigs will still have to maintain order and collect protection fees for a long time, and then they will not be able to reap benefits for themselves. ”

Guta looked left and right, and said abruptly. "It turns out that the whole city is out of control, it's such an easy thing to happen. ”

"It's nothing, let alone New York, the chaotic capital of immigrants, the most heavily guarded imperial city in the world. The same goes for the broken window theorem. ”

Ji Aojian patted him on the shoulder, "We're pretty much done, it's time to catch the boat." ”

The two had just gotten off the street. I saw Martin coming panting.

"Two gentlemen, two gentlemen!" said the bakery owner anxiously, "Mike, they've fled into the Five Point Zone." We're making the last last stand, let's go and take them down!"

"You can just go and knock them down. Ji Aojian said. "We're leaving now. ”

Martin was shocked, and said with a look of disbelief, "Didn't you come from Mexico to grab the territory, why are you leaving? New York will be yours soon!"

"That's Mike talking nonsense to knock people down. Ji Aojian said with a relaxed face, "The two of us are just passing by, and the tickets have already been bought." ”

"Sir, please don't leave us. Seeing that what he said seemed to be true, Martin quickly pleaded, "We are all willing to serve you, is it not enough to control the streets of New York?"

"Martin, you should be a little more confident. ”

Ji Aojian looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "What are you worried about, the police station has been trampled under your feet, and Mike has been chased by you all over the city, how many people can gather around them at this time? As long as you work harder and kill them, New York will be yours." ”

"However, if you are not present, sir, many people's positions will change, and I think Mike and they may turn over again at any time......"

"You're wrong, Martin. Ji Aojian Zhengse said, "Fate must be in your own hands." ”

"I ......"

"Even if I go and kill Mike and hand over New York to you, do you think you will be able to convince the people? Only those who get rid of the old king with their own hands will be entitled to wear the new crown. ”

Ji Aojian took out a pistol from his arms, put it in Martin's hand, and said earnestly, "Although this road is full of risks and difficulties, since you have come to this point, you should complete the last journey by yourself." ”

Martin took a few heavy breaths, his eyes gradually becoming firm, "Sir, I understand. ”

Ji Aojian nodded and stretched out his hand towards the block in front of him, "Go, the five-point area is your Tianwang Mountain, you must conquer it." ”

"Sir!"

Martin saw that they had turned away, and suddenly shouted again.

Ji Aojian turned around, "What's wrong?"

"Can you tell me your names, if I survive this night, I will remember you two forever in my heart. ”

"Oh. Ji Aojian replied, "My name is Tom, and this one's name is Jirui." ”

"I made a note of it. Martin said solemnly, "Now I'm going to be the king of New York." ”

......

Night had already fallen, and the cruise ship that departed at 5 p.m. had already left.

Guta sighed on the docks, "Sir, the Lucky is gone, we missed the ship!"

"Don't worry, there's a ship here in the harbor. ”

"The passenger ship will not depart until tomorrow, do you mean these fishing boats?"

"yes. Ji Aojian touched his body and took out the money that someone had returned, "There are two hundred dollars here, I think no one wants to buy a boat." ”

"Wait!" Guta's eyes widened, "sir, are you planning to use a fishing boat to go to Europe?"

"The Atlantic is not covered, and I don't think it's a big problem. ”

"That's crazy, isn't it?"

"Don't be so nervous, as long as we catch up with the Lucky and climb up, our first-class tickets will continue to be used. ”

"That's impossible to catch!"
