Chapter 104 Gotham Long Zhong vs. (Part 2)

When the staff who reviewed the election candidate saw the name on the first page of the information submitted by Gotham, they almost threw out the information in their hands.

Gotham's old godfather plans to go into politics????

Of course, it is not impossible to calm down. Let me put it this way, although Falcone is a bit old as a gang leader, it is because the gang is renewing quickly. Few gang leaders can hold this position firmly for so many years, so Falcone seems very special.

But when it comes to politics, Vercone is a big catch. Now the average age in Congress is in his 50s, and there are also old politicians in his seventies or eighties. If Falcone plans to go into politics now, it is not too late, because his starting point is much higher than others, and he does not start from scratch.

At the very least, if he wants to be the mayor of Gotham City and then become a state legislator in New Jersey, no one can stop him.

After becoming a state legislator, if Wayne Group is willing to continue to help him run for the election, it is not impossible to enter Congress and even take another step up.

But this mayoral election was originally intended to deal with Roy's gangster mayoral speeches. Now, if Falcone runs for election and becomes the mayor of Gotham City, it would be equivalent to catching a great white shark in order to let go of a loach.

The state government members believe that Falcone would not make such arrogant remarks as his godson, but the problem is that this is better to make some arrogant remarks!

A strong-mouthed king is at most annoying, but the number one in the national server is deadly!

If Falcone really became the mayor, he would hold the entire land and underground world of Gotham City in his hands.

How difficult it is to deal with the old godfather? Countless people have tried it with their lives.

The state government members had to rush to call Falcone's estate, and then they felt that what escaped was that the old godfather seemed to be just showing support for his godson and did not really want to run for election.

The godfather's son, Falcone Jr., told them that his father was old and had now begun to retire and did not intend to enter politics.

This news undoubtedly made everyone feel relieved. After all, Roy mayor may be a small fuss, but if Falcone enters politics, it may be an unconceived path.

With this happening, state lawmakers have to strengthen their scrutiny of Gotham mayoral candidates.

Then they found that it was almost the same as finding someone among these candidates who could really be the mayor.

Anyone with a normal mind knows that being a mayor in Gotham doesn’t last long, so there is no need to say more about what the person who will sign up for.

Among the 23 candidate applications submitted in total, 19 were all famous and surnamed gangsters in Gotham, and 3 of the remaining 4 were submitted by underage, the youngest was 6 years old, and the last one was a cat raised at Gotham Jinbei Bar.

What is even more ridiculous is that among all the information, only this cat has filled out all the information intact. How can most of the others be said? It is less than two bottles of vodka and cannot be written out.

The state legislators are really overwhelmed by the fact that they really find a candidate who can be the mayor in these materials.

First of all, even if they can pick it out, it is a question whether this person can understand the rules of voting.

Secondly, if he really chooses it, it is a bigger question whether he will scold him more ugly than Roy.

The most important thing is that if they choose one of them, and the other gangster families who have a grudge against him, they feel that this election is a fraud, then their fate will definitely be that they will be shot in the back and commit suicide.

As it turns out, Gotham is a completely mud pit. Anyone who has something to do with this city will not have any good ending. The state legislators are now in a complete difficulty.

No one who can choose is willing to come, and no one who can chooses can choose, so what else can I do?

The state legislators thought about it and found that it would be better to let Roy continue to be.

Think about it, Roy did not use more than 10 swear words in his entire speech, but those candidates, in the short 300 words of application, used more than 100 words of swear words. If anyone of them becomes mayor, I am afraid that all members of Congress will lose their own mothers.

In desperation, the election became a formality again. Roy's entire process from stopping the review to becoming a candidate again, to publicizing the voting results, and being re-elected as mayor again, has not been more than a week.

The impact this time is a big deal.

The leaders of these gangs of gangs were so tired that they had long been annoyed by the reporters and critics who stood and spoke without back pain. When it comes to slandering people, these gangs of gangs who have been scattered in the market since childhood have never been afraid of anyone.

The first one was not the coastal cities that were very close to Gotham, but Detroit.

If you want to talk about the worst city in the history of modern industrial development, then we have to mention Detroit.

Between 1960 and 1970, the oil crisis caused heavy losses to the automobile industry. The automobile city of Detroit changed from a prosperous industrial metropolis to a mess with people displaced and gangs rampant.

Because the Detroit economy has declined so quickly that it has not even exceeded a generation, the people who are living now are watching how this prosperous city has perished. They are simply living evidence of Roy's theory.

When Detroit fell, there was no savior. The ordinary people who lost order overnight fell into hell almost instantly. Racial conflicts, riots, gunfires, countless nights in Detroit were lit up, as bright as the lights of the once prosperous factory lights, and never stopped overnight.

In short, the official department staff, gang leaders, and civil representatives among them all stood up and scolded each other, and then joined forces to scold those critics who stood without back pain, pointing the finger at Congress.

Schiller was also a little surprised that it would cause such a fierce reaction. In the manuscript he gave to Roy, he had deleted some radical debates as much as possible and avoided certain sensitive topics.

The purpose of this speech is actually just to pave the way for the subsequent urban alliance and industrial transformation and upgrading. Simply put, if you want to fight, you should raise the flag first.

It is to allow these crime capitals with the same situation to have a reasonable excuse to unite together.

Since our bad things are not our fault, what's wrong with us joining together to make money?

But Schiller did not expect that this actually pointed out the biggest dilemma of economic development in the eastern United States in this era.

The economic crisis cycle brought about by fundamental institutional contradictions will lead to rounds of unemployment waves, and unemployed people cannot be strongly controlled and dealt with, and will spontaneously form associations and become organizations like gangs.

The existence of gangs seriously threatens local security, which in turn causes investors to be unable to develop in a safe environment, and then withdraw funds will come. New investors are also unwilling to come because of the city's bad reputation, resulting in an increasingly recession, more and more unemployed people, and more rampant gangs.

The prosperous maritime trade on the east coast naturally provides the soil for the development of illegal industries. Once the gangsters prosper, they will naturally be various illegal industries.

The prosperity of illegal industries will instinctively exclude normal industries, which will lead to further inability to develop normal industries, and thus the city will fall into an endless cycle of darkness.

Most cities do not have a strong man from heaven like Falcone. He can find a path in the increasingly harsh vicious cycle to bring evil orders with extreme violence, and then bring profits through this order and feed back to the entire social structure itself.

Therefore, most of these cities cannot do the same as Gotham. Although they are evil but rich, most of them are messy and poor, and they are crazy and tempted on the verge of bankruptcy.

The resentment of these cities is definitely much greater than that of Gotham. After all, Gotham can actually rank among the top in terms of infrastructure, population density, and living conditions. In addition to the strange weather and ecosystem here, it is actually a very modern and prosperous metropolis.

But this is not the case in the post-industrial era cities like Detroit. The rapid development of the automobile industry is the imbalance of the industry and the backwardness of other urban infrastructure and humanistic environment.

People find that it was not a big deal to have money in the past, but now that they have no money, this backwardness will bring all kinds of troubles and make their lives worse.

The so-called lack of comparison and superiority is more than inferiority. Schiller's speech from Gotham and Chicago as the perspectives actually still has the taste of Versailles.

Chicago and Gotham are already the best in this type of city, and even Detroit is pretty good. At least it was once glorious, and most people still have some foundation in their hands. Those smaller cities are even more sad.

Almost overnight, the situation in major cities on the East Coast became a little turbulent. They felt that what the gang mayor said was very reasonable. If no one came to save us, we would find a way to save ourselves.

What Schiller did not expect was that the initial cooperation between Gotham and Chicago in the trinity system of Gotham, Chicago and Miami was quite effective, but before the next step was started, that is, the connection between Miami, the gangsters of another city came to the door first, that is, Imperial City.

The Imperial City is also a unique city in the DC comics. It is the hometown of superhero hunter Paul and a megacity on the east coast.

Of course, the situation in Imperial City is definitely much better than Gotham. There is still a basic order here, and gangs are part of the city, but not all.

But just like all other East Coast cities, the black industry is also the main source of income here, but the most famous ones here are tourism and casinos.

Imperial City is a city with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. The gambling industry here has a long history, and casinos of all sizes have also become part of the tourism industry. The economic development has been very good in recent years. Even when most cities are doing things against the road, they still make steady progress.

The mayor of Emperor City also has an indescribable relationship with the largest gang here. After all, it is almost impossible for a casino to not have sex with a gangster.

On the second day after Roy resumed his post, he received a call from the Imperial City Mayor.

They exchanged opinions on the process of friendly exchanges between Gotham and Chicago on the phone. The two sides put forward their own views on the future development of their respective cities and reached a preliminary agreement.

While the two mayors who care about citizens reflected on the painful history of the East Coast port city, they also looked forward to the future prosperity and prosperity. Both sides expressed their wishes for the bright prospects of win-win cooperation.

Roy will also go to the Imperial City for inspection and visit next month to see if there is anything that Gotham can learn from.

After hearing the news, the twelve families said that everyone is responsible for the development of Gotham, and that they are willing to do their best during this inspection.
