Chapter 2181 The Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-nine)
Penguin, a vicious criminal.
If during his decades of criminal career, he never realizes for a moment who his crimes are hurting, then he is destined to never stand with the people at the bottom. Even if he temporarily compromises for the sake of the situation, he will eventually choose to betray
.
So Bruce never intended to push him to the bottom - if he accidentally died on the revolutionary road, wouldn't he become a people's hero?
Therefore, Bruce established a screening mechanism for Penguin - artificially creating an IQ depression around Penguin.
Otherwise, the Joker and Batman are the most suitable opponents. Their confrontation is wonderful, and their cooperation is equally ingenious.
The whole process of the Ander King case designed by the Joker is actually a screening process.
It’s not that all the people are brainless, it’s just that there are too many of them, and just deceiving some of the brainless people is enough to set off a wave of public opinion.
Some people realize that the brutal kidnappers are the root of all tragedies. This is just another terrorist conspiracy, and only the criminals should be punished.
Some people believe that Bruce was indeed unprepared, but at least he stood up, which is much better than those who did not stand up. He should not be so harshly criticized.
There are also some people who don't realize both, and choose to fight fifty times each. Although the criminal is wrong, Bruce is not much better.
And finally, some people think that Bruce deliberately let go because of old grudges in order to kill Anderkin. This kind of person who takes advantage of others is more hateful than a criminal.
There must be some people who think that the last kind of such a rebellious person really exists?
In fact, this type of people may only account for 10% of the total number of people, but the more brainless and extreme people are, the louder their voices are. 10% of the people can make 30% of the noise.
The penultimate group of swingers, each with fifty votes, heard this voice and thought that 100% of the entire society thought so, so they also changed their views along with the trend and followed the public opinion in condemning Bruce. At this time, the total number of people reached 30%
, the volume has also reached 50%.
Even if the other two types of rational people remain unwavering and insist on speaking out, the volume will only be half and half, and the noise will definitely end up being overwhelming.
And as the tide of public opinion rises, more and more people join in. The last kind of fools raise their voices to the tune of three others. The swingers continue to join, while the rational ones always say one is one, two is two, so in the end they must be irrational voices.
getting bigger.
The louder the irrational voices are, the more irrational factions will join in, until the bubble of public opinion is completely filled.
This is the basic theory behind the spread of rumors and the method the Joker uses every time to ruin Batman's reputation.
It was the same this time, but the difference was that the Batman he faced had a long mouth and was cautious.
The most important thing is to be cautious.
Batman actually has plenty of ways to reverse public opinion. How can he, a big capitalist, be less knowledgeable about manipulating public opinion than the dirt-legged clown? If he wanted to, the media under the Wayne Group would be enough to reverse public opinion overnight.
He doesn't do this because he doesn't care what the public thinks of him, whether they think he is a criminal or that he needs to be punished. He just needs to do what he insists on. He doesn't need the people and doesn't care what they think.
But Bruce understands the power of the people better than most Batmans, and he is petty.
Therefore, Bruce chose to touch the Penguin, because he knew that what the Joker despised the most was a fat guy like the Penguin who fell in the eyes of money. Once Bruce fell, the Penguin would continue the Joker's perfect plan, and he would be cruel.
Disgusted the clown.
But as soon as he fell, the tide of public opinion rose again. After running it according to the above principles, only the most irrational voices were left.
On the east coast, the most anti-intellectual is Bai Zuo.
Bai Zuo, if I had to use a more appropriate term to describe this group, I could probably call them "magical animals". They are very magical, but not quite like humans. You could also say they are a little indifferent.
Their biggest characteristic is that they never know what it means to adapt to local conditions, and they always put theory and doctrine above the fundamental needs of the majority of people. In short, they rely on defense.
A white leftist can be called a fool, but a group of white leftists are complete cesspits.
But even though he knew it was a cesspit, Penguin still had to jump.
If Penguin was still the de facto mayor, he could naturally ignore whether these people supported him or not, but shooting Bruce Wayne angered the upper class, causing his status to plummet, and even putting his life in danger.
Then this group of fanatical supporters became his only life-saving straw, because without them there would be no one else.
But becoming the leader of the Bai Zuo is not that simple - Cobot himself comes from one of the four major families, so asking him to lead this group of people is tantamount to holding his head down and eating shit.
What Bruce did was equivalent to throwing the Penguin into a cesspit, forcing him to become a crazy maggot in a sea of excrement in order to save his life. He also had to improvise "discussing why shit tastes good and the necessity of eating shit" in a sea of shit.
More importantly, shit is shit. If you can’t find gold in a shit pit, and if you don’t master the skills of throwing shit, you will most likely be the culprit of the shit pit explosion.
After confirming that the Penguin had fallen deep into the cesspit, Bruce urged Peter to evacuate as soon as possible, because he knew that the Penguin did not have the two brushes to be famous in the cesspool, so if nothing else happened, the cesspit would explode.
The Penguin's leadership is not bad, but the most terrifying thing is that his heart is as high as the sky and his destiny is as thin as paper. If he doesn't work hard, he will drown himself in shit. If he works hard, Gotham will be flooded with shit.
The thing is, Penguin still did not intend to give up his plan to fight for public opinion. After hard coordination, he still organized a wave of marches and marched along Hell's Kitchen to Manhattan to protest.
But don’t forget that now that the two cities have merged, the terrain is completely different. This group of people are not people who look at maps in advance to specify routes. They usually just go where they want and sit down when they are tired. In politics
No one dares to mess with them in New York, where correctness prevails.
So they took the wrong step in the first step. They should have gone straight to Manhattan, but they walked half a circle around Brooklyn.
Brooklyn itself has a lot of idle people. Once you hear about protesting, you don't care what the protest is about. Just join in and that's it.
When there were more people, it became even more chaotic. Everyone followed the crowd, thinking that the leader was there, but the leader didn't know the way, so he walked to Queens, which is adjacent to Brooklyn.
People in Queens are even more important. When I heard that they are environmentally friendly and animal rights, LGBT, and petitioning for the mayor, why don't they join in the fun?
There are more and more people walking, and we will soon pass through Queens.
The Hudson River and the Gotham River in the middle of Queens and the Bronx are partially merged, and the two sides of the Hudson River in the middle of the two boroughs are also the groups of people on both sides of the Gotham River.
As we all know, there are thousands of murders in Gotham, and half of them are on both sides of the river. Most of the servants and sailors brought by the first Europeans to land in Gotham, later black slaves and criminals who absconded with the boats chose to live along the river.
, this is the real Gotham.
Let's put it this way, there are also pioneer groups in Gotham. When they hold daily activities, they shake their heads like rattles when they hear that they go to the river. Batman has to read the almanac before going out to fight crime at the river. Even the Joker chooses to be the victim.
He doesn't pick on anyone here, he doesn't even live here!
It was a nice day, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. We were holding signs and yelling at the drivers, honking their horns, and riding motorcycles. The adults were yelling at the children, and the vendors and food trucks were escorting them. The parade went up along the Gotham River in a mighty way.
The Gotham residents who met along the way living in Queens, Brooklyn - the group of Lezi people who had previously provided logistical support for the parade - looked at the direction they were going and ran away without looking back. Le Zicheng
It is precious, and the price of life is higher.
When a two-kilometer-long, drawn-out parade full of people entered the Gotham area, Gotham residents were stunned.
Have any of the old Gothamites ever seen this kind of battle? Taxis usually don't come in here, and terrorists carrying sixty pounds of explosives would rather take a detour.
What's going on? Godzilla is on the other side?
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The small windows of the European-style outlets in different colors were pushed open one by one, and curious Gothamites poked their heads in, looking at the parade on the road as if they were precious animals.
A black man scratched his head, and then he saw his next-door neighbor - a white-haired old lady in her seventies or eighties - taking out a submachine gun from the house, pointing it at the downstairs, and pulling the trigger.
.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"
Bullets poured down like raindrops, and the unintended strafing sent up plumes of smoke and dust on the ground. The marchers screamed wildly and fled, and the old lady still looked surprised.
"God! Is alive!!!"
The others also had expressions of disbelief, and then, as if they had picked up some treasure, they darted back into the room, took out a large amount of ammunition - more complete than the Gotham Police Department, and threw it towards the crowd.
The street instantly turned into a hell on earth, screams were endless, other people scattered like birds and beasts, and many jumped into the Gotham River to escape.
On the roof of the building at the corner of the street, a red-haired figure climbed up the outdoor stairs to the roof. After walking to the roof, he stepped on the edge and said to the other side in surprise, holding a walkie-talkie: "Damn, it's not an infiltration mission."
What?! Why is there a fight over there?!"
The female agent hid behind the rooftop door, holding a walkie-talkie and yelling: "Coulson, what are you doing?! You ruined my mission! I found his traces, and I was only one step away from catching him!"
"It's not me!" Coulson's voice came from the walkie-talkie, a little aggrieved. He said: "The headquarters did not receive the fire support mission! The mission of hunting down the evil Iron Man is only carried out by you. The headquarters only provides communication support!"
"Then what the hell is going on in front?!"
Natasha took out a nano-drone and threw it out, then opened the screen of the communicator on her arm and connected to the headquarters line. The next scene on the screen shocked everyone.
In just twenty seconds, the entire street was barren of grass, and the foundation sank by at least two meters—even the U.S. Air Force had to surrender.
When the bombing was over, Natasha poked her head out from behind the house, stared at the messy streets, and slowly said into the walkie-talkie: "Are you sure you didn't provide fire support? This..."
She looked up and met a pair of shocked brown eyes.
"Stark! Don't run!!!"
The female agent quickly chased after him, and Stark quickly turned around and ran away.
