It was precisely because of this extreme awareness that George Stacy took the extreme action of using a police squadron to surround the New York City Government.
If there cannot be peaceful evolution and transition, then there will only be bloodshed and sacrifice.
George Stacey had had enough.
He's really fed up with New York now.
He wishes New York could be what it once was.
Anyone who is a normal person hopes to have a stable and peaceful life.
George Stacy is no exception. He hopes that after Zhou Ran becomes the mayor of New York, he can change the city, just like the great project they created together before - Arkham Asylum.
Seeing that George Stacey didn't speak, Scorow had already understood in his heart.
As a qualified politician, he has never been a fool. He already knew that this was something that George Stacey had planned for a long time.
"call……"
Scolo took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and calmed down his nervousness.
too crazy!
What happens next is so crazy!
And it was he who started this crazy drama...
There is no doubt that this will be the biggest bet in his life.
A desperate bet.
Scorow turned his head slightly and glanced at the calm George Stacey beside him. He couldn't help but reveal a wry smile and whispered: "George, I hope this is a gamble that I won't regret."
"Of course!" George Stacey shrugged.
"All right……"
Scolo nodded slightly.
Then he stood up.
In the conference room that became quiet due to an inexplicable atmosphere, Scorow stood up. His face was serious, and he stared at the mayor, Old John, at the head of the conference with a pair of dark eyes.
A smile appeared on Scoolow's lips, and he held his hands on the table.
On the outside, he appears calm.
But the legs, which were covered by the table, were trembling involuntarily.
This tremor betrayed him, proving that he was not very calm and even nervous.
Shoot the first bird.
Scolo didn't want to be the one who stood out.
But now the arrow is on the string and must be fired.
This is actually not all a bad thing for him.
Because the first bird is sometimes the first to eat crabs.
"Ahem...please be quiet, I have something very important to say next..." Scoolow coughed lightly, and said slowly with a smile: "Today is an important day for all of us. The day is also an important day for the world.”
"We witnessed a great birth, yes, it was a great miracle like a god, and I think it's time for us 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 the entire world.”
"I know everyone is worried and fearful."
Scorow paused and continued: "Because, when a god really appears in human society, we will have uncomfortable emotions and fear is inevitable. This fear is just like the fear we once had of those mutants. .”
"However, I think we don't need to be afraid, because the name of this god is Jake. He is one of us. He is the business card of this city. He is closely connected with us. He is the heart of New York. Light."
"We don't have to worry, Congressman Jake will not let us down, he will not let down this city, and he will not let down the world."
"Gentlemen, we have witnessed his past, witnessed everything he has done in the past, and we know deeply what kind of person he is."
"He resisted war, he advocated peace, he cared about the people, he was morally high, he was kind, he developed wealth, he loved ecology, he led freedom, he supported dreams, he created technology... It can be said that he is a perfect A perfect, god-like person."
"Every one of us here and everyone 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. .”
"Huh..." Scoolow took a deep breath, the smile on his face became more and more, and his voice became louder and louder. He said in a deep voice: "Since we don't need to be afraid of him, then this fear Where did it come from?”
"Have any of you here thought about this question?"
"Who is it that creates this prejudice invisibly?"
Listening to Scorow's question, the congressmen frowned tightly.
What does Scolo mean?
There must be something in his words.
There is absolutely no doubt that something coming out of a politician’s mouth cannot mean the same thing.
These questions are just an introduction.
These questions are just Scoolow's opening remarks...
The expressions of the congressmen began to become serious, and they all sat upright.
Although I still don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Scoolow's gourd, I think it is definitely not a medicine that can relieve people's worries.
After glancing around, Scorow nodded, suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed at the mayor, Old John, and then, like an exploded powder keg, he began to carry out extremely crazy output.
"Gentlemen, the person who created this prejudice and caused this fear is none other than our mayor, Mr. John Sr."
"Oh, think about it, everyone, think about old John's twenty years of experience as mayor, think about what he has done over the years, think about his governance plan..."
"It was he who blocked Hell's Kitchen and turned the people there from little gangsters into criminals. It was he who created a barrier and barrier that affected communication. He did not let the people of Hell's Kitchen speak out. He deprived them of their rights. that power."
"It is precisely because of this kind of discrimination and contempt that there is an indelible darkness in New York. Hey, our most civilized city in the world actually contains the ultimate bad soil. What a funny joke. ah!"
"It is these terrible operations of Old John that create deformed criminals like the Joker and make everyone live in invisible fear..."
"Do you still remember the first public report against mutants issued by the government? This is also what John Sr. did, because he followed the orders of the adults in the White House in Washington and carried out this political expansion campaign in New York, which led to mutants The barriers to normal people are getting bigger and bigger.”
"People also began to fear mutants and began to resist mutants... Hey, gentlemen, I still remember when I was a child, people were not as afraid of mutants as they are now, and there were not as many mutants at that time as they are now... "
"It is precisely because of resistance that various fears are created, and it is precisely because of various fears that more and more mutant criminals are produced..."
Scorow chuckled lightly, looked at Mayor John, and said coldly: "Mayor John, because of your various prejudices, the Empire State Building has faced the risk of collapse 15 times, the Statue of Liberty has been bombed 5 times, and the Golden Gate Bridge It was bombed 10 times, the Broadway Theater was bombed 33 times, Wall Street was bombed 26 times..."
"The New York City government's fiscal revenue has not been invested in construction, and taxpayers' money has not been used to create a happy and peaceful life... New York, once called freedom, is no longer free."
"Mayor John, you are no longer worthy of being mayor!!!"
Scorow slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Gentlemen, I once again propose that Mayor John Sr. step down and make Councilor Jake the new mayor to create a New York that we all like!"
"Who is in favor and who is against!"
Scolotto was stunned, and his voice resounded like thunder in the conference room.
calm.
The conference room in Nuoda fell into silence.
Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces.
Mayor John's face turned pale, veins popped out in his hands, and he gripped the armrests on both sides of the chair like eagle talons. There seemed to be anger burning in his eyes.
After silence, there was a din.
"This this……"
"How dare Scolo say such a thing?"
"Oh, my God, how dare he! He is openly opposing the mayor...Does this guy Scorow have someone in the White House?"
"Oh, this is really shocking news... Ahem, this is a naked act of forcing the uterus..."
"However, I think Scorow's words are right. Mayor John Sr. continues to step down."
"There have been too many things going on in New York recently. We must find someone to take the blame. Is there anyone who can take the blame? It must be Old John, the man with the highest official position! God said that if the sky falls, there will be tall people who will bear it..."
"Hey, who makes old John the tallest?"
"Having said that, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and a late lion is still a lion. Scolo'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 that will take revenge!"
"Hey, friends, did you pay attention to everything Scorow said? He proposed the candidate for the next mayor!"
"Congressman Jake... Tsk, this is really a difficult thing for me to make up my mind about!"
"I really didn't expect that he would have such terrifying power... Do we really want an inhuman guy to become our leader?"
"Judging from Congressman Jake's past, he is indeed a good candidate, but now..."
"I can't accept a nuclear bomb being placed on my head."
"I don't want to have the Sword of Darkmos hanging over my head all the time..."
"Apart from that power, I support him."
"God should stay in the divine world, why did he come to the mortal world? This is really a creepy thing!"
"Actually, if Congressman Jake can still be like before, it doesn't mean he can't be the mayor of New York."
"A superhuman mayor is not unacceptable, but we have to make sure he is always on our side and protecting our safety."
"That makes sense. In fact, if we really had a superhuman mayor, guys like the Joker would definitely hide in the dirty ditches."
"..."
"..."
Scolo looked at the bustling conference room, curled his lips, and sat on the chair.
He turned his head slightly, glanced at George Stacey, and said with a smile: "George, my work is done. I have done everything I should do."
"But if you want everyone to accept Senator Jake...hey, this is not an easy thing."
"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. They believe in their own thoughts before trusting others'... George, this is not an easy thing to solve. You can suppress it once, but that doesn't mean you can suppress it countless times."
"What happened today is not necessarily a good thing... Human beings' tolerance is limited, and no matter how kind things are, they cannot withstand the insult and hatred of the human heart!"
Scorow's voice was very low. He seemed to have seen the moment when the building was destroyed. He seemed to have seen a mountain collapsing.
When a snow mountain collapses, no snowflake is innocent...
Mayor Superman, this seems to be a future full of unknowns...
Hearing this, George Stacey was silent for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I believe him..."
Then, he stood up from the noisy crowd, puffed out his chest, raised his neck, stared at Mayor John Old, and shouted extremely loudly: "I support Councilor Scorow's suggestion, and all the police in New York support this." We need a new mayor!"
"Mayor John, please step down! You are no longer worthy of being the master of this city! This is not only the opinion of the police system, but also the voice of all people in this city!"
“There can only be one candidate for the new mayor of New York, and that is the light of New York—Jake!!!”
George Stacy narrowed his eyes and put his hands on his hips, inadvertently revealing the police standard pistol worn on his waist.
He asked in a cold voice: "Who agrees? Who opposes?"
"Agree!"
James, the owner of the Daily Bugle, a leader in the media world, and the commander-in-chief of the paparazzi brigade, raised his hand.
"Agree!"
Dr. Kayson, the president of New York University, a leader in the education industry, and Mr. Jake’s former mentor, raised his hand.
"Agree!"
Norman Osborn, Stark Industries' old rival, one of the talkers in the New York business community and chairman of Osborn Industries, raised his hand.
"Agree!"
Allen, the owner of Broadway theaters and a leader in the film and television industry, raised his hand.
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
"..."
"..."
Human beings have the nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
When the majority of people choose to agree, it will evolve into everyone choosing to agree.
This is a herd mentality.
The congressmen looked superior, but in fact they were just part of the rabble.
certainly.
Such a great occasion is inseparable from Zhou Ran's communication over the past ten years.
He played himself very well.
In these ten years, he has never done anything wrong.
At all times, he stood on the side with more people.
Even Norman Osborn, his enemy, deeply likes Jake.
What he hates is not Zhou Ran, but that he cannot have subordinates like Zhou Ran.
Putting aside interests, Norman Osborne really respected Zhou Ran in his heart.
