Chapter 526 Intense debate, the mother box moves again(1/2)
A month passed by in a flash.
Two major events happened in the past month.
First, Superman was laid to rest in a very solemn funeral, and many people spontaneously took to the streets to pay their respects.
But what's different from before is that this time Superman's coffin was not covered with a star-spangled flag.
Although the federal government strongly requested it, Superman himself didn't mind at first, but Hong Fei just said one sentence and he firmly refused.
"If you put a flag on your head now, then if you go to other countries to save people from other countries, they can charge you with treason."
The second thing is that the entire appearance and atmosphere of Gotham City has been greatly changed.
Now throughout the city, pairs of police officers can often be seen patrolling the streets. No matter day or night, the police lights on the streets are always on.
The street lamps that had been in disrepair for a long time have also been renovated and replaced, and the streets are full of light.
At least, it is already difficult to find a dark and gloomy alley in Gotham City.
What followed this change was that the police station was suddenly full in a short period of time, and the consumption of bullets was also increasing day by day.
How many people were killed?
Hong Fei didn't know either.
But when he saw Bain, who had taken off his mask and put on his police uniform, still filled with murderous aura, he knew that things were definitely not as peaceful behind the scenes.
Hiding all the chaotic and murderous intentions in the dark will not affect the city's positive reforms.
"Is it difficult to do?" Hong Fei asked.
Bain remained motionless: "It's not difficult."
"That's good."
Bruce glanced sideways at Bain and said, "It's not good at all. Too many people died!"
Bain didn't even look at him: "If you want to do something, people will definitely die."
"But many people would not have to die, they still have families!"
"If they don't die, their families may not be better off."
"Have you ever wanted to live like those orphans?"
"Bruce Wayne, is your orphanage just a decoration?"
"The purpose of building an orphanage is not for you to go around killing the parents of those children!"
"Please understand that not everyone dies, but those who commit crimes first, refuse to cooperate, and resist with guns will be killed. This is the power given to the police by the law."
"Yes, but I suspect you are over-enforcing the law!"
"So you turn into a bat and stalk the police every night?" Bain glanced at Bruce, "Honestly, if you weren't still useful, I would have blasted you to pieces."
When Hong Fei heard this, he immediately asked with interest: "Does the police station have cannons?"
Bain turned back: "No, we only have RPG."
Hong Fei nodded: "That's not bad."
Bruce's expression changed several times when he heard this.
Listen, is this human talk? Why does the police station have something like RPG?! Are you terrorists?
No, Bane was originally a terrorist, but now he took off his mask and turned into a police sergeant!
That’s outrageous!
Seeing this, Hong Fei smiled and said, "Bruce, I think you are biased against Bain and my other men."
Bruce snorted sinisterly.
"Tsk, be it Bane, Deadshot, or Bloodsport, they are all capable people."
Bruce said calmly: "I'm not denying their abilities, but you seem to have erased their past easily."
Hong Fei turned his head and looked out the window.
Gotham during the day no longer has the gloomy atmosphere of the past, nor the gloom that can be seen everywhere.
Why?
First of all, those factories with serious pollution have moved far away, and the ruins of many factories have been bombed into ruins. This is to make some people completely give up. Many of these factories even have
Shares of Wayne Group, so if we really want to get to the bottom of it, Bruce is not completely blameless. He has enjoyed the convenience brought by Wayne Group, so he is naturally jointly and severally responsible for everything in Wayne Group. This is fair. This is how capital is, Bruce
It is also part of capital.
Then, Hong Fei changed the color of the exterior walls of most of the buildings in the city. The previous colors of either gray or black would always subtly make people feel depressed, and replaced them with warm colors such as white, and added cartoon paintings.
Any normal person would find patterns like this much more pleasing to the eye.
At least now, if anyone who doesn't know this is Gotham comes here, they won't immediately associate it with Sin City.
Hong Fei smiled: "Isn't this bad?"
Bruce also followed his gaze and looked out at the city. For a moment, he also felt a little relieved in his eyes.
In just one month, Gotham has changed for all to see.
Although the overall economic development of the city is far inferior to that of the metropolis across the river, Gotham is always filled with an inexplicable vitality no matter day or night. Recently, some people have even dared to set up stalls at night.
Well, this was simply unimaginable in Gotham before.
Of course, the side Hong Fei and Bruce are looking at now is an urban area where countless middle- and low-income families gather.
Below them is a wealthy area, and the wealthy area naturally does not need any changes, because the rich will never live a depressing and dull life.
After thinking about it, Bruce said worriedly: "Many people have already left Gotham."
Hong Fei didn't look back: "You're talking about the rich people."
"Yes, I know you look down on some wealthy people, but the problem is that their capital injection is necessary to create more and more job opportunities in Gotham City and support one family after another."
"Ha! I seem to have heard a joke."
Bruce frowned.
Hong Fei continued: "What you said is correct, but I don't think it is necessary to use the word 'must'. Fund injection, isn't it just about attracting investment? Then find people, some people want to leave, and some people want to leave."
They will also be willing to come, whoever is willing will come."
"The same goes for new people."
"Then set the rules and come again if you meet the conditions. How much of Gotham's downturn and crime is caused by the inability to support your family through normal work? If the newcomers continue to exploit Gotham people in the same way, then forget it.
If they kill them all, some people will still take risks in order to survive. Therefore, it is a good thing for them to leave. If they don't leave now, they will leave in the future. If they don't leave in the future, then they might as well never leave."
Bruce's face darkened.
Then, he suddenly said something completely unrelated: "Amanda died a few days ago."
"Have a good death."
"She suddenly turned into the legendary devil at a press conference, caused innocent casualties and was shot dead on the spot, which then caused an uproar. Now everyone suspects that there are other people in Washington who were turned into devils, and the political situation is in chaos.
confusion."
"oh."
"If I remember correctly, it was you who turned her into a demon on the island, right?"
"Yes."
"She should be obeying your orders. Why did you kill her? And on that occasion?"
Hong Fei was frank and said directly: "I originally thought that if I kept her, she might be able to help me do something, but in fact, after this period of actual experience, I discovered that I don't need such a person to help me at all.
Whatever I do, I can do what she can do. What I can't do directly, there are many people who can do it better than her, so I judge that she has lost the value of continuing to exist."
"Should people who have lost their value should die? Then if one day I am too old to move, will you kill me too?" Bruce was a little excited.
"Don't just pretend. You know why she died. She was already dead that night on the island. What you should ask is why I didn't let her really die until now. As for the occasion, I did it on purpose.
Yes, if we don't put some pressure on the outside world, believe it or not, someone will dare to attack us soon. Although they will not succeed, I don't know how many people will die by then. In other words, I am saving their lives.
"
Bruce laughed angrily.
If he hadn't been defeated, he would have jumped up and hit someone.
After a while, Bruce seemed to finally calm down, and he said again: "Can you please stop killing people? You now control the entire Gotham. The operation of a city cannot be solved without killing people!"
"You are telling me nonsense again. Of course killing people cannot solve all the problems, but don't forget that if you want to solve many complex problems quickly and easily, you must kill people. I didn't hang them on street lights.
It saves some face for you as a capitalist."
"This is America!"
"so what?"
Bruce gasped: "This is a capitalist country."
To be continued...
