Chapter 2207: Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-Nine)

Chapter 2181 Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-nine)

Penguin, a vicious criminal.

If he never realized who his crimes were hurting during his decades of criminal career, he would never stand with the lower class. Even if he compromised temporarily for the sake of the situation, he would eventually choose to betray.

So Bruce never intended to push him to the bottom - what if he accidentally died on the road of revolution, wouldn't he become a people's hero?

So Bruce established a screening mechanism for Penguin - artificially established an IQ depression around Penguin.

Otherwise, why do people say that the Joker and Batman are the most suitable opponents? They are brilliant in confrontation and ingenious in cooperation.

The entire process of the Enderkin case designed by the Joker is actually screening.

It's not that all the people are brainless, but there are too many of them. It is enough to deceive some of the brainless people 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. Only the criminals should be punished.

Some people think that Bruce was not prepared, but at least he stood up, which is much better than those who did not stand up. He should not be blamed so much.

Some people did not realize either of them and chose to give both sides a slap on the wrist. Although the criminals were wrong, Bruce was not much better.

And finally, some people think that Bruce deliberately let go because of the old grudges, just to kill Anderkin. This kind of person who takes advantage of others is more hateful than the criminals.

There must be someone who thinks that the last kind of people who are so rebellious really exist?

In fact, this kind of people may only account for 10% of the total population, but the more people who do not use their brains but have extreme thoughts, the louder the voices, and 10% of the people can make 30% of the noise.

The penultimate group of swingers, who were both criticized, thought that the whole society thought so 100% of the time, so they followed the crowd and changed their views, following the public opinion to condemn Bruce. At this time, the total number of people reached 30%, and the volume reached 50%.

Even if the other two rational people were unshakable and insisted on speaking out, the volume was only half and half, and the quarrel would definitely be earth-shaking in the end.

As the public opinion tide rose, more and more people joined in. The last type of fools had a voice of one against three. The swingers continued to join, while the rationalists always said one was one and two was two. In the end, the irrational voices would inevitably become louder and louder.

The louder the irrational voices, the more irrational people would join in, until the bubble of public opinion was completely filled.

This is the basic theory of rumor propagation, and it is also the principle of the method used by the Joker to ruin Batman's reputation every time.

This time is the same, but the difference is that the Batman he is facing is long-mouthed and narrow-minded.

The most important thing is narrow-mindedness.

Batman actually has many ways to reverse public opinion. As a big capitalist, can he be more ignorant of manipulating public opinion than the mud-legged Joker? If he wanted, the Wayne Group's media would be enough to reverse public opinion overnight.

He didn't do this because he didn't care how the public viewed him, whether they thought he was a criminal or that he needed to be punished. He only needed to do what he insisted on. He didn't need the people and didn't care what they thought.

But Bruce understood the power of the people better than most Batmans, and he was narrow-minded.

So, Bruce chose to touch the Penguin, because he knew that the Joker looked down on the Penguin the most, and the fat man who fell into the money was the Penguin. Once Bruce fell, the Penguin would be a dog's tail to the Joker's perfect plan, and it would disgust the Joker.

And once he fell, the public opinion wave rose again. After running according to the above principle, only the most irrational voices were left.

On the East Coast, the most anti-intellectual is the white left.

If you have to use a more appropriate word to describe the white left, you can probably call them "magical animals", which are magical, but not very human, or you can say that they don't do anything.

Their biggest characteristic is that they never know what it means to adapt to local conditions, and always put theories and doctrines 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 a complete shit pit.

But knowing that it is a shit pit, the Penguin has to jump in.

If the Penguin is still the mayor with real power, he can naturally ignore whether these people support him or not, but the shooting of Bruce Wayne angered the upper class, causing his status to plummet and even endanger his life.

Then this group of fanatical supporters became his only lifeline, because if he doesn't use them, there will be no one else.

But becoming the leader of the white left is not that simple - Cobblepot himself comes from the four major families, and letting him lead this group of people is tantamount to forcing him to eat shit.

What Bruce did is equivalent to throwing the Penguin into the shit pit, forcing him to become a maggot in the sea of ​​shit in order to save his life, and he had to improvise "On Why Shit is Delicious and the Necessity of Eating Shit" in the shit mountain and shit sea.

More importantly, shit is shit. You can't find gold in a cesspool. If you can't master the skill of throwing shit, you are most likely to become the culprit of the cesspool explosion.

After confirming that the Penguin was already trapped in the cesspool, Bruce urged Peter to evacuate as soon as possible, because he knew that the Penguin didn't have the skills to survive in the white left cesspool, so if nothing unexpected happened, the cesspool would explode.

The Penguin's leadership is not bad, but the most worrying thing is that his ambition is high and his life is thin. If he doesn't work hard, he will drown himself in shit. This effort will flood Gotham.

The thing is, the Penguin still doesn't intend to give up his plan to fight for the public opinion position. After trying hard to coordinate, he still organized a parade and marched along Hell's Kitchen to Manhattan for a protest.

But don't forget, now the two cities have merged, the terrain is completely different, and this group of people are not the kind of people who will look at the map in advance to designate the route. They usually go wherever they want and sit down when they are tired. No one dares to mess with them in New York, where political correctness prevails.

So they took the wrong first step. They should have gone straight to Manhattan, but they walked half a circle around Brooklyn.

There are many idle people in Brooklyn. When they heard about protesting, they didn't care what they were protesting, just joined in.

It was even more chaotic when there were more people. Everyone followed the crowd, thinking that the leader had the upper hand, but the leader didn't know the way either, and walked to Queens, which is adjacent to Brooklyn.

The people in Queens are even more important. When they heard about environmental protection and animal protection, LGBT, and petitioning for the mayor, they thought they would join in the fun, right?

More and more people walked, and they would soon pass through Queens.

The Hudson River and the Gotham River between Queens and the Bronx have merged a part, and the two sides of the Hudson River between the two districts are the group 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. The first batch of Europeans who came to Gotham brought servants and sailors, and later black slaves and criminals who escaped with the ship mostly chose to live along the river. This is the real Gotham.

Let's put it this way, Gotham also has pioneer groups. When they hear about going to the river during daily activities, they shake their heads like rattles. Batman has to check the almanac before going to the river to fight crime. Even the Joker doesn't choose people from this side when choosing victims. He doesn't even live here!

It was a good day, with clear skies and bright sunshine. People held signs and shouted, drove cars and honked their horns, and drove motorcycles. Adults called children to make noises, and small vendors and food trucks escorted them. The parade went up along the Gotham River.

The Gotham residents who lived in Brooklyn and Queens who they met along the way - the group of fun people who provided logistical support for the parade - ran away without looking back when they saw the direction they were going. Fun is precious, but life is more precious.

When the two-kilometer-long, full-of-people, dragging procession entered the Gotham area, the residents of Gotham were dumbfounded.

Where had the old Gotham people seen such a scene? Usually, taxis don't come in here, and terrorists carrying 60 pounds of explosives would rather take a detour.

What happened? Did Godzilla come across the street?

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The small windows on the European-style small doors of different colors were pushed open one by one, and the curious Gotham people poked their heads out and looked at the procession on the road like they were looking at precious animals.

A black guy scratched his head, and then he saw his next-door neighbor - a white-haired, seventy- or eighty-year-old old lady - took out a submachine gun from the house, pointed it at the downstairs, and pulled the trigger.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The bullets poured down like raindrops, and the unaimed sweeping shots raised wisps of smoke and dust on the ground. The marchers screamed wildly and fled, and the old lady was still surprised.

"God! It's a living person!!!"

The others were also in disbelief, and then they rushed back to the house as if they had found some treasure, took out a lot of weapons - more than the Gotham Police Department, and threw them at the crowd.

The street instantly turned into a living hell, screams were heard everywhere, and the others scattered like birds and beasts, and many jumped into the Gotham River to escape.

On the rooftop at the corner of the street, a red-haired figure climbed up the outdoor stairs to the rooftop. After reaching the rooftop, he stepped on the edge and said to the other side with a walkie-talkie in surprise: "Damn it, didn't it say it was an infiltration mission?! Why is there a fight over there?!"

The female agent hid behind the rooftop door and shouted angrily with a walkie-talkie: "Coulson, what are you doing?! You ruined my mission! I found his trace and I was only one step away from catching him!"

"Not me!" Coulson's voice came from the walkie-talkie, slightly 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 alone, and the headquarters only provides communication support!"

"What the hell is going on in front?!"

Natasha took out a nano drone and threw it out, then turned on the screen of the communicator on her arm and connected to the headquarters line at the same time. The scene that appeared on the screen next shocked everyone.

In just twenty seconds, the entire street was barren and the foundation sank at least two meters - even the US Air Force had to admit defeat.

When the bombing was over, Natasha poked her head out from behind the house, staring at the messy street in amazement, and slowly said to the intercom: "Are you sure you didn't provide fire support? This..."

She raised her head and met a pair of shocked brown eyes.

"Stark! Don't run!!!"

The female agent quickly chased after him, and Stark also turned around and ran.

Suddenly, the two of them braked at the same time.

"Boom!!!!!!!"

The two were blown away.
