It must be said that the community reconstruction plan went smoothly, thanks to him handing these things over to Fergie and Matt. →Other lawyers are obsessed with making money, but these two are special. Matt really doesn't care about money, and he thinks about protecting the country and the people every day. Fergie's ideas are somewhat related to money, but not directly related. His dream is to make the firm bigger. Generally speaking, if a law firm wants to grow bigger, it must make money. If it doesn't make money, it can't expand its scale.

But this direct purpose is not to make money after all.

Compared to many lawyers who actually go for money as soon as they get started, these two are undoubtedly willing to do more. For example, in the community reconstruction plan, other firms will definitely consider how much money they can make first. Or how much profit they can bring after expanding their reputation. Fergie and Matt have almost no such thoughts, because they are old residents of the Clinton area, and they have complex and deep feelings for this "Hell's Kitchen". They are willing to work hard to make it a little better.

Strictly speaking, Hell's Kitchen has changed a lot recently. As the Defenders Alliance organized by Matt began to get on track, under the large-scale attack of a group of superhumans, all the gangsters realized that Hell's Kitchen was no longer their paradise. For these scums, there is no such thing as nostalgia. Since they can't stay here, they will go somewhere else. So these people began to move to other areas, and the security situation in Clinton District improved sharply. Although Clinton District is known as Hell's Kitchen, it has lost its former terror after Kingpin quietly retreated and the Hand was hit hard again.

But the further south you go here, the closer you are to the NYPD headquarters, and it is difficult to get involved there. To the north is Central Park and the Upper East Side and Upper West Side on its left and right. The security of this area is the focus of NYPD and is not suitable for gangs to conduct business. Therefore, these people can only go to Harlem and East Harlem further north. Compared with Hell's Kitchen, where tough guys are everywhere and the police are fierce, today's Harlem and East Harlem are definitely a vast world with great potential.

Of course, what we are talking about here are some small thugs who steal and do bad things. There are still many large gangs entrenched in Hell's Kitchen. There is no way, the geographical location of Hell's Kitchen is too great. There is a dock for smuggling goods, and it is on Manhattan Island, next to the most prosperous area in New York. The market is huge and the oil and water are lucrative. How can the gangs turn a blind eye to this?

However, they also know that it is too dangerous to do things in Hell's Kitchen. If they are not careful, they will easily be arrested by the police. Therefore, the remaining gangs adopt a low-key strategy in Hell's Kitchen. They can use Hell's Kitchen as a springboard, but they can't be as rampant as before. They need to be careful.

As the director of the 15th Precinct, Kai is naturally very happy to see Hell's Kitchen getting better. As for the gangs moving to Harlem... this is not a problem he needs to consider.

...

Regarding community reconstruction, Kai is still a hands-off boss. He is not good at this himself. If he joins in rashly, it will only hinder Matt and others from performing. It would be better to do what you are good at honestly from the beginning, such as... to find trouble with the gangs that are still in Hell's Kitchen. These guys are too annoying to stay in Hell's Kitchen.

In the following days, Kai lived a peaceful life, just chatting with the bosses of those gangs and exercising. There was nothing surprising and no one paid attention to it. But New York gradually became noisy and bustling.

Our showy playboy Tony finally got into trouble.

It is said that when Tony moved back to New York from Los Angeles, he was immediately swarmed by a group of financial reporters, news reporters, and paparazzi like flies smelling a scent, keeping a close eye on this "news making machine". Among them, the paparazzi were the most excited. They just like Tony's scandals.

Unfortunately, the young master has not "favored" the cover girl in the past few months. He stays at home every day and becomes a dead otaku. This is not in line with the "Stark spirit". Not to mention that this young master is also the first superhero "Iron Man" to reveal his true identity on TV (although Kai's identity is public, he has never revealed it on TV. Only Tony is so showy)

Are the cover girls favored by Iron Man and the cover girls favored by the playboy the same? That must not be the case.

At least in the minds of gossip readers, they are two different things.

In the past, when people saw the news about Tony, at most they would curse him as a rich man with money to burn. But now Tony's identity is different. From a rich man who was envied by others, he suddenly became a superhero with justice. How can his identity be the same?

This is particularly obvious after the Los Angeles battle. This is considered a battle that Iron Man is truly famous in the world. Although he is not as good as Batman and the deified Kai who appeared at the end, and his role is not even as good as the three Chicago heroines, the problem is that the public feels friendly.

After all, we see his scandals every few days. In comparison, other superheroes are much more mysterious. And Kai is dragged down by the federal government. The American people, like the ancient rivers and lakes, do not like court henchmen.

As a result, this top news maker has no gossip for several months.

Tony without gossip is not a Stark, not an Iron Man. Who is the first woman to convince Iron Man? Everyone is waiting to see, and this woman will surely be treated like a rising star and become the darling of the media.

For this reason, countless women are working hard, including but not limited to stars, hosts, socialites, ladies, gays, etc.

Unfortunately, paparazzi, beauties, and gays have been disappointed. In recent months, Tony has been busy with the research of Iron Man armor, the affairs of the group, or occasionally out to do justice. Apart from a few appearances in public, the only person he flirted with was Pepper, the president of Stark Group, and he rarely went out to hang out.

Such a Tony made everyone very uncomfortable!

However, just recently, this situation has changed.

The Congressional Military Committee is preparing to summon Tony. Many members of Congress think that the Iron Man armor is a killer that threatens the stability of human society, and ask him to hand over the Iron Man armor.

This news came out of Congress and immediately triggered public opinion!

In fact, there was an intention to summon Tony this time a long time ago. In the final analysis, it was because of the struggle for interests. The struggle between new and old energy sources is much more intense than imagined. After all, before this, the oil energy group has always been a very large force in the political landscape of the United States. Even the oil energy group is not limited to the United States. It is a global interest group. The world's major oil companies, major oil-producing countries, and especially the big dogs in the Middle East have never stopped their siege of new energy.

The United States is known as the world's number one power, and its own scientific and technological level is beyond doubt. But looking at the new energy in the United States, even the development of nuclear energy seems to be very lame. Some people say that the United States' nuclear energy is currently the world's number one! How come it is lame?

This is true. The number of nuclear power units, total installed capacity, and total nuclear power production in the United States are all ranked first in the world.

However, all the reactors in the United States with nuclear power production capacity were built during the large-scale construction period from 1970 to 1989. All of these nuclear power reactors were approved before 1982, and no new nuclear power plants were approved after that.

Why has the development of nuclear power stagnated in the past three decades? Isn't it obvious?

Now in the United States, 70% of electricity is generated by fuel.

It can be said that the new energy project of Stark Group is digging the lifeblood of these forces. How can these energy groups not fight back?

But if we really talk about market means, the old energy group is not the opponent of Stark Group at all. After all, the energy of Stark Group... is cheap! The price advantage of oil is not worth mentioning in front of new energy. Of course, this also includes various aspects of the problem, which cannot be explained for a while. In short, Stark Group is not afraid of commercial competition. After all, new energy is the future. Everyone knows that capital is profit-seeking. The old energy group is very powerful, but it is not bigger than the capital market.

With the support of countless capital, the old energy group wants to use conventional means to restrict the new energy development of Stark Group, which is obviously ineffective. After all, the old energy group cannot stop everyone from making money.

So they can only use tricks outside the plate.

Their current idea is to link Tony's new technology with national and social security. Once the new technology of Stark Group is linked to these things, it must be controlled. Once controlled, it will inevitably limit the scale or even be sealed.

In short, the calculation is very good and the cost is small. Anyway, the public relations fees spent by these energy groups on lobbying Congress every year exceed hundreds of millions of dollars. It is equivalent to not spending money on two issues.

However, there is also a problem. That is, Tony also has the opportunity to resist.

After all, Tony is not an ordinary person. After all, if he is an ordinary person, it is not the Senate that issues a subpoena, but the army that directly comes to the door to confiscate the property. At that time, whether it is killing the soldiers who come on orders or fleeing in panic, it is equivalent to failure.

But the problem is that Tony is not.

He also has his own supporters. It is impossible for the Stark Group to have today's scale without supporters from Congress and the military. Especially Congress, don't forget that not long ago, the Stark Group was still a military-industrial complex!

He does not lack connections. Now it is just that the original interest group has gone bankrupt and reorganized due to the sudden abandonment of the arms business by the Stark Group, which seems a little weak. But the problem is that with the development of new energy business, a new interest chain is being formed, and this new interest group will become stronger and stronger as time goes by.

This is also why Congress is so impatient.

Before the Battle of Los Angeles, this hearing should have started, but at that time, the disaster happened. The federal government did not perform well in the disaster, but Tony and a group of superheroes shined, which forced Congress to pause.

Now that the Battle of Los Angeles has been over for more than half a year, the influence is quietly fading. People always have new hot spots to pursue, unlike the crazy pursuit of superheroes before. At that time, holding a hearing would make people think that the federal government was shirking responsibility, but now there is no such problem.

This time, Congress is definitely well prepared. They even found a bunch of so-called experts to prove that Tony's invention is dangerous, unsafe, and even affects social stability.

In short, the public opinion in the early stage was very good.

And most Americans are stupid, or they always think they have the ability to think independently, but in fact, most people, remember, the thoughts of the vast majority of people are actually controlled.

The most obvious example is that after the US-Soviet hegemony, the United States has been committed to finding an opponent for itself, an opponent that can scare the American people. They set this enemy as North Korea! As for whether North Korea is really capable of destroying the United States, that is another matter. Anyway, it is hard propaganda, anyway, North Korea is the enemy.

So the American people who generally know nothing followed the blind clamor and really thought that North Korea is the mortal enemy of the United States. But if you ask him where North Korea is... 90% of people don’t know at all!

What’s more interesting is that the United States has been using this method. Russia, North Korea, Iran, and now it’s China’s turn.

Do these countries really threaten the United States? Maybe, but it’s definitely not as they advertise. But those Americans were still fooled.

It’s the same now.

A large group of idle people who didn’t know where they came from really thought so, so they ran to the downstairs of Stark Group to protest.

The funny thing is that they themselves don't know what they should oppose at all. In short, there are all kinds of slogans, and even people from environmental protection organizations are stirring up trouble... Compared with oil and natural gas, new energy is more environmentally friendly, right? But others don't! They insist that new energy has radiation... Light bulbs also have radiation!

But they don't care. These people's brains are like cement. They only believe what they believe. Stark Group has given radiation parameters and safety verification documents, but others just don't believe it. They think that Stark Group manipulated the government and these things are fake.

Well, these people are just a bunch of idiots who have nothing to do. After all, there are still people who believe that the earth is flat and the birds in the sky are all fake.

But you can't generalize. Some people are really stupid, and some people are not necessarily. You know, energy groups also like to fund environmental protection organizations.

What? Old energy itself is not environmentally friendly, why do they support environmental protection organizations?

Haha, you are so naive.

Without these environmental protection organizations messing around, why are nuclear power plants all over the world developing so slowly?

Two days later, countless people watched the news broadcast of the Senate hearing being held.

Tony said as a matter of course: "...I think it is a high-tech prosthesis. This is the best adjective I can think of..."
