Chapter 2089 Still in the Hospital!

The Albanian gangs are indeed very low-key in Los Angeles. Their business has basically been concentrated on human trafficking, and they are "specialized" in Eastern Europe. According to the crime spectrum, their business scope is very small and the scope of influence is very narrow!

At least for Americans, their "harm" is very small!

After all, what does this have to do with them, the Americans?

The United States has always been the focus of public opinion. Whether it is presidential gossip or sanctions against a certain country, it will become a hot topic around the world. It is unquestionable that the United States has these influences. It is also a practical need for everyone to care about domestic and foreign political and economic events. But as far as Americans are concerned, more often they only care about their own domestic news, and sometimes they don’t even have a high willingness to understand domestic news. The declining number of foreign correspondents year after year also reflects this problem from the side. In addition to the election news, most American newspapers only care about things around them, and don’t pay much attention to international and national news. As the world’s first superpower, it is not difficult to understand that more attention is focused on themselves, but the reasons for this situation are worth our careful analysis.

The most special thing about the United States compared to other countries is that many of its previous decisions were influenced by the shadow of the British Empire. In 1794, in order to cope with the threat of war from Britain at any time, the United States actively prepared for war while expanding. In order to avoid the boycott of Europe, it began to pursue an inward-looking isolationist policy. Against this background, the United States made every effort to build an internal market and completed the original accumulation of economy and capital by relying on regional economic competition. At the same time, the United States has a vast territory and fierce internal competition, so before the Civil War, the biggest goal of the United States was to establish a unified and stable domestic market. After the Civil War, the United States completely broke the social and economic system of opposition between the North and the South, and the millions of black slaves who were liberated not only gained personal freedom, but also provided a huge labor force and market for the development of the market economy. Since then, the US economy is no longer based on the opposition between the modern factory system characterized by hired labor in the North and the slave labor system in the South, but has truly become a unified whole.

It is precisely because of this historical reason that in the eyes of Americans, the development and maintenance of the domestic market economy is always the first priority. The strength of the United States does not rely on those steel and concrete, but on technological innovation. Many of the most profitable companies in the United States earn more money than small countries. The companies that make the most money are rich enough to rival a country, with net profits exceeding the GDP of many countries such as Tanzania and Iceland. The foundation for achieving this is talent. The U.S. population accounts for only 5% of the world's population, but it has nearly 45% of the world's productivity and 40% of the world's technology products. Apple, IBM, Google and other companies are popular all over the world, and at the same time, the U.S. domestic market has also made great progress due to technology.

As a commodity world, the characteristics of the U.S. market can be reflected through commodities, which is one of the reasons why Americans only care about themselves and ignore the outside world.

The U.S. market can be said to be the largest and most complex market in the world. The largest here refers to the consumer market. China's market wins in size, but the profit is very low. Its complexity lies in the fact that there are not only federal laws and regulations, but also different laws and regulations between states. In order to adapt to internal needs, it is necessary to put enough energy in the domestic market so as not to touch the law. There is not enough energy to pay attention to how the external environment changes. Other differences in the domestic market of the United States include product quality, sales season, GG publicity and after-sales service. Various requirements and restrictions force Americans to find ways to meet the needs of the domestic market first. Since they attach importance to the development of the domestic market, they have also put forward higher requirements for external trade from other countries to the United States. It is precisely because their own market is large enough that the United States does not need to care about the external environment and changes, and naturally has no high interest in international events and domestic news. Over time, everyone only cares about things around them. After all, this world is dominated by economic behavior.

Americans (in fact, all people in any country) ignore a lot of things. It is actually a very common thing to ignore people or things outside of your own country, ignoring religions, cultures, countries, subcultures, time differences, political parties, social circles and even neighbors that are different from your own. In most parts of the United States, most of the world history taught in schools is about how the United States was formed. The cultures of Asia, West Asia, the Middle East, Native America, Eastern Europe and Africa did not contribute much to the birth and development of the United States, so naturally they did not occupy much space. Their history and culture were ignored by the American education system.

Many immigrant groups are very proud to preserve their own culture, educating children and outsiders (such as Chinatown and Little Tokyo), even though people from other ethnic groups are still unfamiliar with their culture. In contrast, in the United States, even people of African descent for many generations are often removed from African culture. When black slaves were brought to the United States, they were not grouped together according to a common culture and language.

It is obviously impossible to maintain African cultural heritage in the midst of constant forced migration (in fact, many descendants of Africans do not know where their ancestors came from in Africa). In most cases, only recent immigrants from Africa have a strong connection to African culture. In addition, if the subculture itself comes from a country that challenges the US world hegemony, then the widespread adoption of that culture is likely to pose a threat to US homeland security. Most of Africa is struggling with political or economic chaos and does not pose a direct threat to the United States. For example, South Africa is the only African country with nuclear technology and the African country that Americans know the most about, except for ancient Egypt.

Finally, the border politics in most of Africa are based on forced European imperialism. One of my history professors once said that such borders were deliberately used to prevent opposing tribes from merging into a political entity, turning them against each other rather than uniting against the Europeans. At this time, naive ignorance is actually a kind of bliss, not having to face the complexity of one's own culture.

Most Americans also cannot recognize that it is the governor of California, because each state in the United States is comparable to a country, and they cannot know any other state except the one where they live.

So... why should Americans know about Albania? What does it have to do with them what the Albanians are like?

In this environment, the human trafficking business of the Albanian gangs is not a serious crime for Americans. After all, what harm can they bring except that there are more Eastern European girls on the streets for those LSPs to choose?

It is also this business philosophy that has led to little conflict between the Albanian gangs and the local police station or even the government and civilians.

The Albanian gangs are also very smart. They did not go around grabbing territory and fighting with other gangs... After all, they don't need it at all. They only need a small territory to temporarily settle and divert their "goods" from Eastern Europe. They don't need territory.

In this way, the possibility of them being noticed by the police is further reduced.

The police are also very busy, okay?

You know, Los Angeles is a drug-infested city!

Instead of caring about those Albanian human traffickers, they might as well care about the gangs under their rule!

In reality, the gang culture in downtown Los Angeles and South Los Angeles has long been prevalent, especially the Hispanic and African gangs. Some media even call Los Angeles the "gang capital" of the United States. According to police statistics, there are currently about 120,000 gang members active in Los Angeles, of which South Los Angeles is the area with the most gang members and the most active, including 11 gangs such as "204 Street", which are the targets of the Los Angeles police for a long time.

How many police officers are there in Los Angeles?

Less than 10,000!

They can't manage it at all.

Although this unique business philosophy prevents the Albanian gangs from thriving in the United States, it still makes a lot of money!

At the beginning, these gang members were a little worried about encountering superheroes... After all, this thing is really too supermodel, and they can't beat it even with RPG.

But in the next two years, they found... Hey, as long as we are low-key enough, superheroes don't look down on us at all.

In fact, this is also related to Barry's source of intelligence. He usually updates the information from the police in time. If there is any tricky thing, Barry will take the initiative to understand and solve it! On the other hand, the police did not pay much attention to the Albanian gangs, just the same level as most of the community thugs!

Even though the police actually knew that the Albanian gangs were dangerous, they would be happy to relax if they did not cause any big trouble.

After all, the American police are not justice agencies, they are violent agencies that maintain social stability!

What they pursue is never justice, they pursue stability!

If you don't make trouble, he will be happy.

So when they suddenly met the Flash at this moment, these gang members did not feel real at all!

"Flash... Flash... Flash?!!!"

The only gang member who was still sober seemed to be a fan of the Flash. After meeting Barry, he not only did not call the police to his companions immediately, but also looked at Barry excitedly. It looked like he wanted to rush up to ask for an autograph... After too long of comfort, they all forgot... that they were the target of attack.

"Um... Can I ask, where is your auction? Has it started?"

When Barry asked him about the auction... the gang brother suddenly woke up.

You love your idol, but your idol doesn't love you!

You are still the idol's business target!

This is fatal.

Looking at the fallen companions around him, he suddenly felt that being a traitor was not a big deal, after all, he was a superhero... But this thought just turned around in his mind and disappeared.

After all, it is different from other gangs.

Other gang members betrayed, so they betrayed. As long as they are not the kind of particularly cruel and fierce gangs, under normal circumstances, they will not chase the minions under them to betray. The mobility of members of many gangs is unimaginable.

But the Albanian gangs are different. If you dare to betray... Haha, not only you will die, but your family will also die!

They come out to make money, naturally they can't take their families with them, they are all in Albania!

This is a typical case of the monk can run away but the temple cannot!

This is also one of the reasons why the Albanian gangs are so fierce... If you don't dare to fight, you will have a hard time when you go back! As for rebellion, it's even more deadly, and the whole family will die at any time.

This is similar to the Mexican gangs.

Why are they so rampant? It's because most of the members' families are still in Mexico. If you dare to defect, it will test the bond of the whole family!

So after hesitating for a second, he decisively pulled out his pistol... To be honest, they don't like this kind of weapon very much. It has a small caliber, small power, and small amount of ammunition. It's boring! In their hometown, they don't use pistols to "set off firecrackers" during the New Year. They just shoot rifles at the sky. Yes, they set off firecrackers by shooting at the sky... But this is the United States. It's normal to have a pistol. The old lady next door has several pistols in her name, but semi-automatic rifles or rifles are a bit too much.

He thought very well. He might not be able to cause harm to the Flash by shooting himself, but as long as he shoots, it is equivalent to warning.

It can be regarded as completing his obligations.

Even if something really happened in the end, he could still be justified, because he fought to the last moment.

Unfortunately... he obviously underestimated his idol. Just when he was about to draw his gun, Barry moved.

The key reason why Barry can adapt to his speed force is that he has unparalleled dynamic vision. At Barry's speed, the human eye capture frequency is actually very low. When looking at things, it's just a quick glance, and it's gone in a flash, and nothing can be seen. But Barry is not like this. Once he starts, the world in his eyes seems to be countless times slower, and he can see it clearly.

It is also because of this super-standard dynamic vision that he can easily see anything clearly.

And there is no need to worry about hitting people just running on the road. (For example, the locomotive in the Black Panther Picket Team accidentally hit the girlfriend of one of the protagonists into blood foam)

When the gangster brother was just preparing to move, Barry saw it clearly.

Then in an instant, Barry started and counterattacked!

Here we have to sigh again at the terrifying speed force. Under normal circumstances, any object with such a high speed, even a piece of cloth, can kill a person directly at supersonic speed, but Barry can control the force accurately.

He doesn't kill people!

It's confirmed that my brother has chronic renal failure... He is still so young... I warn you all, don't ignore your body. There were many signs, but he didn't take it seriously, and then this happened...
