"No., No.! Pharmaceutical giant Ponlager was arrested on Lila Street! FBI agents said they will charge him of obstructing public service!"
"Today, news of Ponlager's arrest has spread throughout the streets and the FBI is still conducting detailed investigations into his illegal handling of cancer-causing materials. People familiar with the matter revealed that he will face at least 27 serious charges..."
"Good evening, audience friends, today's major news is: Ponlag has been arrested, and FBI police found the exact evidence of his tax evasion at his residence. IRS officials said that the charges must be final and that they will never be allowed to escape..."
"Next, let's connect with Attorney Dante again to hear his opinion on Ponlager's charge..."
One after another, news reports floated like snowflakes throughout the East Coast. Before Christmas came, this rich place became lively.
After spreading Gotham's tax check program to the entire East Coast, this became the hottest hot spot in the American public opinion field. Everyone was discussing the scandal of the rich.
In order to strengthen its power and further publicize its tax obligations, the IRS has taken great action and has investigated everything that should not be investigated.
Originally, their staff were not enough to check so much, but Schiller helped them do the mass work well. At first, gamblers who just wanted to win some money participated, but later those bullied and oppressed joined in spontaneously. In the end, even those teenagers who did not do serious work every day would try their best to collect evidence and use it as their own capital to brag about.
As the saying goes, you can't check everything. What if you really find something out? This is the case with Gotham now.
If you don’t check it, you won’t know it. You’ll be shocked when you check it. No rich man can only have the scandal of tax evasion. Their evil is beyond anyone’s imagination. And once the investigation is opened, it can’t stop it anymore.
All kinds of evidence and clues were submitted to the FBI and the IRS. Seeing that the evil deeds became more and more outrageous, the FBI and the IRS were trembling.
When they realized that they could not continue to investigate, it was too late. The fall of Carter and Ponlager made countless oppressed ordinary people in Gotham see hope, so they became more and more active, took out all their spare time to collect information, and held back enough to avenge their poor self.
Chandler swore that when he received the order to stop the investigation, he immediately stopped all searches, but it was too late.
If the FBI doesn't investigate, then we will investigate it ourselves. If Gotham TV stops reporting, then we will go to Metropolitan TV. The official TV station does not accept submissions, then we will go to personal media persons. If it really doesn't work, then we will go to Clark Kent. No one can stop us from exposing the ugly behavior of these people.
More and more scandals are being revealed, and the outrageousness of evil deeds is becoming more and more shocking.
The audit operation against Wayne Group became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
It’s not that Bavel didn’t want to stop, but that the pirate ship had sailed and drove to the middle of the ocean. If she couldn’t rush to the dock all the way, what would happen to others? She didn’t know that she would be the first to be thrown off the boat to feed the fish.
As she promised Bruce, she led the special team and FBI agents to knock on the door of every Wayne Group senior executive.
A month before Christmas, police cars blocked the Wayne Group. Senior executives in suits and ties were taken away from the shareholders' meeting. Looking at the empty conference hall, Bruce smiled with satisfaction.
Batman watched the live broadcast of the arrest in prison. Looking at the evidence listed by the host, he suddenly felt that it would be good to sit here for two more days. It would be even better if Bruce could come with him.
The inspection of Wayne Group is the real shock to the world. There are not many people in this world who dare to touch big capitalists, and the name Bavel Smith is destined to be left in history.
But as the investigation deepened and expanded, the upper class of the United States gradually realized that something was wrong. They wanted to check taxes and give some warnings to those damn borers, but they did not want to make the scandal known to everyone. That would make them very unfavorable in the international public opinion field.
They ordered the FBI and IRS to stop the investigation, but they still failed to stop the scandal from spreading. The cases have not even stopped in Gotham, but have begun to involve wealthy people in other regions and themselves.
Of course they were anxious when the fire broke into themselves. They quickly found ways to curb public opinion and wanted to suppress the matter.
But unfortunately, the main force exposed this time is called Clark Kent, also known as Superman. Humans have no way to bribe the sun, and there is no way to assassinate them. So the situation deteriorates more and more severely.
After using both soft and hard, but Clark did not eat soft and hard, the bent waist of the congressmen was completely broken. They had to find the Pale Knight and asked him to solve the problem from the root.
What does it mean to solve the problem from the root? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to tell Gotham not to investigate again. Is it not enough to find out so many? Do you have to kill them all?
The Pale Knight agreed on the surface, but in fact it was just one word - drag.
After almost the problem of Wayne Group was handled, Batman was finally released. This declared that his leisurely jail time was over. What he would face was the upper class who was completely destroyed almost overnight and the legacy they left behind.
There are not many rich people living out of the Arkham Asylum, and the personnel structure and ecology of the upper class have collapsed completely. The ownerless assets are like resources floating on the ocean, waiting for those with destiny to salvage them.
Although the most essence of them has been exploited by Schiller, many of them are still left behind. As soon as Batman was released from prison, he began to work overtime to collect legacy and integrate resources to ensure that these things do not fall into the hands of bad people.
This bad guy is specifically referring to the Penguin.
Originally, the Pale Knight felt that it was a bit dangerous to let Batman control so many resources by himself, but when he found out that Copot was also taking the opportunity to catch up, he immediately ran to Wayne Building and gave Batman all the green lights that the city government could give, and said, "Just eat this food, you can kill you, you are better than killing the Penguin."
Batman is indeed being held back.
The upper class was swept away overnight, and half of the shareholders of Wayne Group were arrested. Batman was almost the only survivor. He now has an unimaginable control over the Wayne Group and even the entire upper class.
In order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the remaining rich people cried and asked Batman to save them. Since wealth and power cannot be both needed, of course, it is most important to find a way to preserve their glory and wealth.
These people have seen strong storms in the Arkham Asylum. If the other option is Schiller Rodriguez, then we think it is great to have Batman dominate Gotham, and it is very normal for him to be compared to Schiller.
Batman didn't have any special feeling about the crown that suddenly hit him on the head. In fact, he still didn't understand what Schiller's fundamental purpose was to do all this.
Until the MP suddenly called and agreed to his conditions.
Batman didn't know what his conditions were, but he knew exactly who put the conditions on him. He called Bruce.
"What did you talk to Congress?"
“Is this important?”
"Of course, you'd better not..."
"I said I'm going to add an extra star to the American flag."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
"What???"
Batman felt a little confused when he hung up the phone.
The content of the negotiations between Bruce and Congress was very simple: he asked Gotham to become an independent state and to include three affiliated cities, including Gotham's suburbs and Brude Haven, into the scope of Gotham. The current Gotham City Government was transformed into the Gotham State Assembly.
The United States is a federal system, and each state is equivalent to a small country. The legal system and regulations are different. The differences between states are sometimes greater than those between states.
It can be said that if Gotham becomes an independent state, it would be equivalent to the city being directly independent. Because the state parliament not only has legislative power, it can also collect taxes on its own, establish its own army, and even formulate border management regulations and marine management regulations. Basically, it is done whatever it wants.
It was only then that Batman realized that the ambitions of these two visitors from another world might be much greater than he thought. They not only opposed reform, but also fundamentally opposed the current social nature.
Because if you only carry out an economic revolution, there is no need to fight for such great autonomy. To be independent of states means that what they want to move is the fundamental nature of the society.
Batman realized that the star they wanted to add seemed to be white.
But Batman also didn't think Congress agreed easily, because it was too ridiculous. Even if he agreed on the surface, he would definitely delay it if he could, and it would be left alone in the end.
Unexpectedly, the day after the news came, the New Jersey State Legislature launched a referendum, announcing that more than half of the votes would kick out the now-famous Gotham from New Jersey, showing that they were completely different from their determination to join forces.
Batman doesn’t have to watch it or think about it, and he knows who the hell proposed this proposal.
And he didn't have to think about what the outcome of the referendum would be.
After working in Wayne Building for three consecutive days, he knew very well that when the upper class was almost wiped out, his assets were less than 40% of the original, and the remaining 60% were earned by a middleman.
The wealth of an almost 60% of the world's wealth is actually a bit of a waste of money to use the referendum results of a state.
Batman was afraid that when he opened his eyes tomorrow morning, Schiller informed him to become president.
Finally, three days before the Christmas bell rang, Congress and the state legislature completed all the referendum processes with amazing efficiency and integrity, officially announcing Gotham's independence. A star is about to be added to the red and blue star-stripe flag.
Gotham's tax audit case came to an end. On the day Bavel left, Gotham had its first snow in winter. As soon as she got off the car, she saw a crowded crowd of people all over the airport.
They called her "the greatest tax officer."
Schiller was waiting for her in the waiting hall, still with a calm eyes and a smile. This time, Bavel gave him a hug. Looking at the crowds outside the hall, she said, "Maybe you are right. Only by pointing the gun at the strong can I get everything I want."
"I'm glad you think so, ma'am." Schiller walked shoulder to shoulder with her towards the boarding passage. He said: "Whatever your starting point is, you do bring hope to the city. I don't know what else can reward you, I can only tell you that you don't have to worry about the small flaws in your father's tax issues."
"I have never been worried whether you believe it or not. If they want to deal with me with this, it will prove that they are in poverty."
"Very confident, ma'am. I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance."
