Biological and chemical weapons have always been taboo, but it doesn't mean that they cannot be played. Of course it is okay for the state to use them. The five gangsters are the countries with the most biological and chemical weapons in the world. But for private players... that is too much. Of course, this is okay, as long as this kind of thing is not
If it is exposed, nothing will happen.
The key is the mechanical corps!
This thing is a big killer. If it is extended to the entire US military, it will increase the strength of the US military...
So the US military began to put pressure on Congress, hoping to obtain the technology of the Mechanical Corps! This thing can definitely be mastered. As for biological and chemical weapons... that thing is just a gimmick, a tool they use to put pressure on Tony.
So a heavyweight lobbyist showed up at Tony's house
Tony shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Colonel Rhodes who was sitting not far away: "Well, can we talk about something else? Can you stop coming to me for this kind of thing?"
Colonel Rhodes, formerly known as James Rhodes, is a colonel in the U.S. Air Force. He is also Tony's good friend. It is hard to imagine that a soldier would become friends with someone like Tony, but the fate is so wonderful. Colonel Rhodes and Tony were students at Tony University.
We knew each other at that time.
Once, Rhodes and some of his comrades went to a bar near Tony's university to drink together. Tony was also there. Everyone knew what kind of person Tony was. He had a bad mouth, so in the bar, he asked for a
The girl had a conflict with a group of bikers. His words caused the bikers to go berserk and almost sent him to see God. It was Rhodes who saved him. Then a wonderful fate unfolded.
They became friends. At that time, Rhodes didn't know that Tony was the Stark heir. So their friendship was pure.
Colonel Rhodes also had a look of helplessness on his dark face, and spread his hands: "What do you think? I am a soldier, not a politician. I am willing to come? But why don't I stand here now?"
Tony was equally helpless. He grabbed a bottle of wine, carried it over and poured a drink for the two of them: "To be honest, I don't want to talk to you about these things. Can we be more simple between us? Don't ruin the scenery for those idiots.
.”
Rhodes took the wine glass and took a big sip: "I want to kick the butts of those stupid pigs, but there's no other way. They are the boss and they don't need to ask for my permission. I have to come even if I don't come."
Tony looked sympathetic and took a sip of wine: "And now you have to wipe their butts. Maybe you, the colonel, have become toilet paper."
Rhodes was speechless: Aren't he just like toilet paper now?
And it's from both sides, Tony and those politicians. Both sides want him to wipe their butts. Damn it, even if it's just a piece of toilet paper, he can't use it like this, right?
Tony put his arm around his shoulder and patted him: "Don't think about it, just say you can't control it. Otherwise, will you be able to live an easy life in the future? Those politicians will annoy you to death."
Rhodes was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. He couldn't have a decisive influence on Tony Stark, and seemed incompetent. But it saved him trouble in the future, but if he succeeded, who would want to deal with Tony in the future? The best
The way is to figure it out from him. This is what those big guys are best at. The easiest way to control someone is to control the things he cares about, such as family, career, money, and friends. Tony is not disgusted with this,
He is a member of this rule and a beneficiary, but he doesn't have many friends. He doesn't want his few friends to get involved. That would not only complicate their friendship, but also get Rhode into trouble.
.If possible, he would be more like Batman.
Why does Batman make many big bosses feel troubled and helpless? Because he doesn't care about anything, or what he cares about is not a specific one - such as the citizens of New York. What Batman cares about is the "people" as a whole.
And no one of them is treated specially. This is what scares the big guys.
Just like some people who care about "peace", what they do is completely different from normal people. Although Batman has always appeared as a protector of the people, rather than those who love "peace", for the big guys
In other words, this is more terrifying than "peaceful" elements. Because "peaceful" elements can also be exploited, even by the United States. And Batman has nothing to exploit at all. How can we let the people use their votes to elect Batman?
president?
On the other hand, if those big guys stand on the opposite side of Batman... they are not sure whether Batman will fight back. Once Batman fights back, that big guy will immediately become a villain in the eyes of the people. For those big guys,
It's definitely an unbearable burden. They can do things in private, but once it comes out... then they must be unlucky. This is the rule of the game. What's worse is that Batman doesn't need to come up with anything like the police or prosecutors.
Evidence, because people believe him.
There is no way to distort what is freely realized. This is what they are afraid of.
In the past, they treated others the same way, but with Batman, it's the other way around.
How can they be willing to do this? What's even more frightening is that everyone has different class positions, and no one thinks that Batman wouldn't do this. At least except for Tony, Batman never seems to take care of the rich.
Rhodes muttered a few words, but he was still a little hesitant. Rhodes was a patriot in every sense of the word, and he still hoped that Tony could make some contribution to the country.
But Tony had already stuffed a telescope beside him: "So, this matter actually has nothing to do with us, unless you want to replace Batman's misfortune. Come and see some good scenery, your mood will feel better."
Rhodes took the telescope with a puzzled look on his face: "What for?"
Tony hugged him, turned slightly, and raised his hand to signal: "The weather in New York has warmed up now, look at the roof of the building over there."
Rhodes put the telescope in front of his eyes, looked in the direction that the young master pointed, and in less than two seconds he said, "This is really cool. Is that why you bought this building next door?"
It’s the outdoor swimming pool on the rooftop, and there’s a party with a lot of hotties in bikinis, it feels really damn wonderful.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tony shrugged: "It's just boring. You know I'm very focused now."
Rhodes originally wanted to make a few words of ridicule, but when he thought about Tony, who had almost no scandals in the past year or so, and didn't even have a photo of "suspected scandals", he was speechless. The New York media now thinks Tony is boring.
Starting from Iron Man Tony, they are now nostalgic for Playboy Tony.
While using binoculars to look at the cool and hot girl in the rooftop swimming pool more than 100 meters away, he casually said: "You are already devoted, should I get married, have children, and go home to take care of the baby?"
Tony stroked his chin beard: "In this way, you are indeed old enough."
Rhodes put down the telescope and rolled his eyes: "You are still living like a baby, how dare you call me old?"
Tony shrugged: "What I call youthful vitality, you are senile before you get old, how can you compare."
Rhodes made the necessary international gesture: "Okay, you can arrange it tonight. I want to see a hot girl, preferably one wearing a bikini."
Tony raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to, or do you want those people to know that you were "bought" by me?"
Rhodes: "You need it all, otherwise do you really think I am very old? I can make a lot of little girls laugh when I tell a joke."
Tony: "...are you talking about the cold joke about carrying a tank, flying to the general's house, and throwing it in front of him?"
Rhodes: "...That's not a bad joke, okay?"
Tony shrugged, tilted his head and sighed: "It seems like you, an old man, really need some hot girls to make yourself "hot"."
At this point, he paused: "In order to make your performance more realistic, I can only reluctantly hold a grand party for you."
Rhodes glanced at him sideways, revealing the whites of his boss's eyes: "Are you sure you didn't use my name because you were afraid of being accused by Pepper?"
Tony: "If you don't know how to speak, speak less. Then you will be able to become a general."
Speaking of youth, Tony suddenly thought of something, and he said: "By the way, do you want to go to Morocco with me?"
"Why are you going there? I'm an active soldier. Going abroad is very troublesome, and it's not even during vacation."
"Ha! You have to convince me! This is work!"
Rhodes: "What else are you planning?"
"Go get something exciting!"
"what?"
"Formula FI! I decided to participate!"
Rhodes immediately lost interest: "I fly a plane! Do you think something slow and slow running on the ground can attract me?"
Rhodes is an ace pilot and has flown various types of aircraft. He is not as eager for FI as ordinary people.
"Don't look down on FI, it feels completely different from flying a plane!"
"Okay, okay! Go call the beauty!"
…
Kai doesn't know yet that Tony is going to Morocco, and he also has a lot of things to do now.
First of all, he has to deal with the wave of resignations!
There has been a considerable wave of resignations among NYPD police officers, and the response to newly recruited police officers has been very poor. After several attacks, the number of police officers killed in the line of duty in New York has really frightened too many people. The police officers are not afraid of gangsters with guns.
, but no one has confidence in dealing with those monsters and superhumans who appear inexplicably. For example, this time, more than 80 police officers died in New York! Less than 1% of the total number of police officers who died on the job, but including those who resigned,
The attrition has reached 10%.
In fact, in the previous incidents, many police officers retreated a bit, but this time it was just an outburst.
The General Administration had to relax the police recruitment regulations, lowering the education level to middle school graduation, and the minimum age to 17.5 years old. Because those who are seventeen and a half years old can spend three months to go to the police academy for training, and then serve as a trainee police officer for three months.
, he became an official police officer at the age of eighteen. As a result, the recruitment of police officers finally got back on track. For many young people, even if the police are dangerous, it is better than not having a job. In addition to praying that they will not encounter superpower incidents
, most people have no other options.
Attacks do not happen every day and every night, but the pressure of life is always present. Living in New York is not easy. Not to mention the consumption level of New York, refer to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. A young man who does not have a job, if he does not have a job, he will not even have a job.
I couldn't stay at a better job.
Although the police are dangerous, thanks to Kai's efforts, the salary level of the entire New York police force has been improved. After all, Kai's salary and benefits in the 15th Bureau are so good. If other police stations cannot keep up, there will be real problems.
In the past, the salary of a New York police officer was almost the median income in the United States, about 60,000, but now it has reached 80,000. This is definitely a very attractive salary.
Of course this also brings about a troublesome problem.
That is, a large number of police officers are retiring, and new recruits are still being recruited, and the manpower cannot be replenished, resulting in a manpower shortage for the New York police and a decline in police efficiency.
Not to mention, within about half a year, the overall quality of the New York police will continue to decline.
If a newcomer wants to become a qualified police officer, it is not enough just to graduate from school. Whether it is experience in handling cases, relationships, techniques, and precautions, it is useless to simply memorize these things. There must be guidance from seniors.
.
Lao America does not have the sense of responsibility inherited from China. In Chinese police stations, veteran police officers will automatically and consciously carry out the responsibility of mentoring and mentoring, and will also form a special culture of 'mentor and apprentice', but Lao America does not pay attention to this.
, no one will put down their own affairs for no reason to help others for free.
Therefore, we can only break up the old combination and let the old police officers lead the new police officers. This invisibly consumes the originally small police force and reduces the efficiency and ability of case handling.
As a result, most areas with no "benefits" will naturally be abandoned. As mentioned before, a large part of police funding is determined by the economic status of the local jurisdiction. This is also the case in rich communities with good security and poor areas.
Reasons for poor security.
This will undoubtedly make the overall security situation in New York worse, but there is nothing we can do about it. Tens of thousands of police officers have a salary increase of several thousand dollars every year, which costs hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Where does this money come from?
The financial support that the government can provide is actually not much.
Even if the current mayor is committed to changing the security situation, he cannot really spend a lot of money to support the police system.
Fortunately, the 15th Precinct is not under great financial pressure because of the weirdo Kai. However, it is still short of manpower. What should other precincts do if they are short of people?
Naturally, I would go to a wealthy branch office.
No matter how awesome Kai is, he can't stop the General Administration from exercising his formal powers, right?
As a result, in order to support other bureaus, a large number of elite police officers from the 15th bureau were transferred to support other bureaus.
Of course, the General Administration would not dare to just let the horses run without letting them eat grass.
Therefore, the manpower replenishment effort for the 15th Precinct is the greatest.
But a bunch of rookies... The 15th Precinct is a popular unit, and many police officers are willing to come, but the General Administration needs to consider the overall situation, and it is impossible to allocate key police officers to supplement the 15th Precinct, so those newbies have been supplemented.
This resulted in the inevitable decline in the overall quality of the 15th Branch despite having sufficient personnel.
For this reason, Kai had to get busy.
If he was just a police officer, it wouldn't be his turn to worry about this kind of thing, but he was the chief. He couldn't really leave everything to George.
In this way, Kai has been busy these days.
I didn't see it on the news until I finally had some free time.
Something happened to Tony in Morocco.
He was attacked by a Russian terrorist.
Almost failed.
"Why did I see that thing on that guy's chest... looks so similar to your Ark Reactor?" Anyway, Kai and Tony are friends, and they still want to express their condolences as usual. Then Kai asked about what was broadcast on the news
A detail.
If anyone else asked, Tony would never talk about it.
"That guy's father is my father's colleague. According to him, the design of the Ark reactor was his father's invention...my father stole his invention. Although I think it is nonsense, what this guy said is true.
."
"In other words, he has mastered the technology of making the Ark reactor?"
"Yes, this guy made the reactor on his body in an underground workshop... I have to say, this guy has two brushes, which is worse than me."
"Where are the others?"
"Caught."
"who?"
"It seems that he has been extradited to the United States."
"Well... then I wish you good luck."
"What's the meaning?"
"idiot!"
"Hey! What do you mean?!!"
"Don't you understand? You have been tricked! He is a Russian who committed a crime in Morocco, but was extradited to the United States... You are stupid!"
"Fake! They are eyeing the reactor technology in that kid's hands!"
"Hmph, not only that. I guess it also has your mecha skills."
"No way, they can't crack my technology!"
"real?"
"absolute!"
"As I said before, I wish you good luck. Anyway, don't even think about your patent on the reactor technology."
