Chapter 818: Being Tricked (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote for Me) Second Update 4500 Words, Please Vote for Me

Biological and chemical weapons have always been taboo, but it's not that they can't be used. Of course, it's okay for a country to use them. The five major gangsters are the countries with the most biological and chemical weapons in the world. But for private use... that's too much. Of course, this is nothing. As long as this kind of thing is not exposed, there will be nothing.

The key is the mechanical corps!

This thing is a big killer. If it is promoted to the entire US military, the strength of the US military will increase...

So the US military began to put pressure on Congress, hoping to obtain the technology of the mechanical corps! This thing must be mastered. As for biological and chemical weapons... that thing is just a gimmick, a tool they use to put pressure on Tony.

So a heavyweight lobbyist appeared in Tony's home

Tony smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at Colonel Rhodes who was sitting not far away: "Well, can we talk about something else? Can you not come to me for this kind of thing?"

Colonel Rhodes, formerly known as James Rhodes, is a colonel in the US Air Force. He is also Tony's good friend. It is hard to imagine that a soldier would become friends with someone like Tony, but fate is so wonderful. Colonel Rhodes and Tony met when Tony was in college.

Once, Rhodes and several of his comrades went to a bar near Tony's university to drink. Tony was there too. Everyone knows what kind of person Tony is. This guy has a foul mouth. So in the bar, he had a conflict with a group of bikers for a girl. His mouth directly made the bikers go crazy and almost sent him to see God. It was Rhodes who saved him. So the wonderful fate unfolded.

They became friends. At that time, Rhodes didn't know that Tony was the heir of Stark. So their friendship is very pure.

Colonel Rhodes's face was full of helplessness. He spread his hands: "What do you think? I'm a soldier, not a politician. I am willing to come? But now I am standing here, aren't I?"

Tony was also helpless. He grabbed a bottle of wine, walked over with it, and poured a glass for the two of them: "To be honest, I don't want to talk about these things with you. Can we be simple? Don't ruin the scenery for those idiots."

Rhodes took the wine glass and gulped down a big gulp: "I also want to kick those stupid pigs' asses, but there is no way. They are the boss and don't need to ask for my consent. I have to come even if I don't want to."

Tony took a sip of wine with sympathy: "And now I have to help them wipe their asses. Maybe you, the colonel, have become toilet paper."

Rhodes was speechless: Isn't he just a role like toilet paper now!

And it's for both sides, Tony and those politicians. Both sides want him to wipe their asses. Damn, he can't be used like this even if he is a piece of toilet paper, right?

Tony put his arm around his shoulders and patted him: "Don't think about it, just say you can't control it. Otherwise, how can you have an easy life in the future? Those politicians will annoy you to death."

Rod was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. He couldn't have a decisive influence on Tony Stark, and seemed incompetent. But it saved trouble in the future, but if he succeeded, then whoever wanted to deal with Tony in the future, the best way would be to figure it out from him. This is what those big guys are best at. The easiest way to control someone is to control what he cares about, such as family, career, money, and friends. Tony didn't dislike this, he was a member of this rule and a beneficiary, but he didn't have many friends. He didn't want his few friends to get involved. That would not only complicate their friendship, but also put Rod in trouble. If possible, he would imagine Batman more.

Why does Batman make many big guys feel difficult and helpless now? Because he doesn't care about anything, or what he cares about is not a specific one - such as the citizens of New York. Batman cares about the "people" as a whole, and does not treat any one of them specially. This is what scares those big guys.

Just like some people who care about "peace", what they do is completely different from normal people. Although Batman has always appeared as a protector of the people, not those who love "peace", for the big guys, this is more terrible than "peace" elements. Because "peace" elements can also be used, and can even be used by the United States. Batman has nothing to use at all. Do you want the people to use their votes to elect Batman as president?

On the contrary, if those big guys stand on the opposite side of Batman... they are not sure whether Batman will fight back. Once Batman fights back, the big guy will immediately become a villain in the minds of the people. This is absolutely unbearable for those big guys. They can do this and that in private, but once it breaks out... they must be unlucky. This is the rule of the game. What's worse is that Batman does not need to produce evidence like the police or prosecutors, because the people believe him.

Things of free conviction cannot be distorted at all. This is what they are afraid of.

In the past, they treated others the same way, but it was the other way around for Batman.

How could they accept this? What was even more frightening was that everyone had different class positions, and no one thought that Batman would not do this. At least except for Tony, Batman never seemed to take care of the rich.

Rod muttered a few words, and he was still a little hesitant. Rod was a patriot in every sense, and he still hoped that Tony could make some contributions to the country.

But Tony had already stuffed a telescope over: "So, this matter actually has nothing to do with us, unless you want to take Batman's place in bad luck. Come, take a look at the beautiful scenery, and you will feel better."

Rod took the telescope with a puzzled look on his face: "What for?"

Tony hugged him, turned slightly, and raised his hand to signal: "The weather in New York has warmed up now, look at the roof of the building over there."

Rhodes put the telescope in front of his eyes and looked in the direction pointed by the young master. In less than two seconds, he said, "This is really cool. Is that why you bought this building next door?" It’s just an outdoor pool on the rooftop, and there’s a party with a bunch of hotties in bikinis, and it feels so damn good.”

Tony shrugged: "It's just boring. You know I'm very focused now."

Rhodes originally wanted to make a few words of ridicule, but when he thought about Tony, who had almost no scandals in the past year or so, and didn't even have a "suspected scandal" photo, he was speechless. The New York media now finds Tony boring. They now miss Playboy Tony more than Iron Man Tony.

While using binoculars to look at the cool and hot girl in the rooftop swimming pool more than 100 meters away, he said casually: "You are already devoted, should I get married and have children, and go home to take care of the children?"

Tony stroked his chin beard: "In this way, you are indeed old enough.

Rhodes put down the telescope and rolled his eyes: "You are still living like a baby, how dare you call me old?"

Tony shrugged: "What I call youthful vitality, you are senile before you get old, how can you compare?"

Rod made the necessary international gesture: "Okay, you can arrange it tonight. I want to see a hot girl, preferably one wearing a bikini."

Tony raised his eyebrows: "Do you really want to, or do you want those people to know that you were "bought" by me?"

Rhodes: "You need it all, otherwise do you really think I am very old? I can make a lot of little girls laugh when I tell a joke."

Tony: "...are you talking about the cold joke about carrying a tank, flying to the general's house, and throwing it in front of him?"

Rhodes: "...That's not a cold joke, okay?"

Tony shrugged, tilted his head and sighed: "It seems like you, an old man, really need some hot girls to make yourself "hot"."

At this point, he paused: "In order to make your performance more realistic, I can only reluctantly hold a grand party for you."

Rhodes glanced at him sideways, revealing the whites of his boss's eyes: "Are you sure you didn't use my name because you were afraid of being accused by Pepper?"

Tony: "If you don't know how to speak, speak less. Then you will be able to become a general."

Speaking of youth, Tony suddenly thought of something, and he said: "By the way, do you want to go to Morocco with me?"

"Why are you going there? I'm an active soldier. It's very troublesome to go abroad, and it's not even during vacation."

"Ha! You have to convince me! This is work!"

Rhodes: "What else are you planning?"

"Go get something exciting!"

"What?"

"Formula FI! I have decided to participate!"

Rhodes immediately lost interest: "I fly a plane! Do you think something slow and slow running on the ground can attract me?"

Rhodes is an ace pilot and has flown all types of aircraft. There is not as much yearning for FI as ordinary people.

"Don't look down on FI, it feels completely different from flying a plane!"

"Okay, okay! Go call the beauty!"

…

Kai doesn't know yet that Tony is going to Morocco, and he has a lot of things to do now.

First of all, he has to deal with the wave of resignations!

There has been a considerable wave of resignations among NYPD officers, and the response to new recruits has been poor. Several attacks and the number of police officers killed in the line of duty in New York really scared too many people. The police officers are not afraid of gangsters with guns, but no one is confident in dealing with monsters and superhumans who appear out of nowhere. For example, this time, more than 80 police officers died in New York! The number of police officers who died on the job was less than 1% of the total number, but when including those who resigned, the attrition reached 10%.

In fact, in the previous incidents, many police officers retreated, but this time it was just an outburst.

The General Administration had to relax police recruitment regulations, lowering the education level to middle school graduation and the minimum age to 5 years old. Because at the age of seventeen and a half, he can spend three months to go to the police academy for training, and then serve as a trainee police officer for three months, and he will become a full-fledged police officer at the age of eighteen. In this way, the recruitment of police officers finally managed to get back on track. For many young people, even if the police are dangerous, it is better than not having a job. Most people have no other choice but to pray that they don't encounter superpower events.

Attacks do not happen every day and every night, but the stress of life is always present. Living in New York is not easy. Let’s not talk about the consumption level in New York. Let’s refer to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. A young man without a job would not be able to stay if he had no job or even a better job.

Although the police are dangerous, thanks to Kai's efforts, the salary level of the entire New York police force has been improved. After all, Kai's salary and benefits in the 15th Bureau are so good. If other police stations cannot keep up, there will be real problems.

In the past, the salary of New York police officers was almost the national median income, about 60,000, but now it has reached 80,000. This is definitely a very attractive salary.

Of course this also brings about a troublesome problem.

That is, a large number of police officers are retiring, and new ones are still being recruited, and the manpower cannot be replenished, resulting in a manpower shortage for the New York police and a decline in police efficiency.

Not to mention, within about half a year, the overall quality of the New York police will continue to decline.

If a newcomer wants to become a qualified police officer, it is not enough to just graduate from school. Whether it is case handling experience, relationships, methods, precautions, these things are useless to memorize by rote, and must be taught by predecessors.

The Americans do not have the sense of responsibility for inheritance that China has. In Chinese police stations, old police officers will automatically and consciously carry out the responsibility of teaching and helping, and will also form a special culture like "master and apprentice", but the Americans do not pay attention to this. No one will put down their own affairs for no reason and help others for free.

So they can only break up the old combination and let the old police lead the new police officers. This invisibly consumes the original small number of police forces, and reduces the efficiency and ability of case handling.

Such consequences will naturally abandon most of the areas without "benefits". It has been said before that a large part of the police's funds is determined by the economic conditions of the local jurisdiction, which is also the reason why the security of the rich community is good and the security of the poor community is poor.

This will undoubtedly make the overall security situation in New York worse, but there is no way. Tens of thousands of police officers increase their salaries by thousands of dollars each year, which will cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Where does this money come from?

The government's financial support is not much.

Even if the current mayor is committed to changing the public security situation, it is impossible to really come up with a big hand to support the police system.

Fortunately, the 15th Precinct is not under much financial pressure because of Kai, a freak. But there is still a shortage of staff. What should other precincts do if they are short of people?

Naturally, find a rich precinct to transfer.

No matter how powerful Kai is, he can't stop the General Administration from exercising its regular power, right?

So, in order to support other precincts, a large number of elite police officers from the 15th Precinct were transferred to support other precincts.

Of course, the General Administration dare not just let the horse run without letting the horse eat grass.

So the 15th Precinct has the greatest effort to supplement its staff.

But a bunch of rookies... The 15th Precinct is a popular unit, and many police officers are willing to come, but the General Administration needs to consider the overall situation, and it is impossible to transfer backbone police forces to supplement the 15th Precinct, so those rookies have been supplemented.

This has led to the inevitable decline in the overall quality of the 15th Precinct, even though it has sufficient personnel.

For this reason, Kai has to get busy.

If he was just a police officer, it wouldn't be his turn to worry about this kind of thing, but he is the chief. It is impossible for him to really leave everything to George.

So, Kai has been busy these days.

When he finally had some free time, he saw it on the news.

Tony had an accident in Morocco.

He was attacked by a Russian terrorist.

He almost died.

"Why do I see something on that guy's chest... It looks so similar to your Ark reactor?" Anyway, Kai and Tony are friends, and as usual, he still has to express his condolences. Then Kai asked about a detail broadcast on the news.

If someone else asked, Tony would never talk about it.

"That guy's father is my father's colleague. According to him, the design of the Ark Reactor was invented by his father... My father stole his invention. Although I think it's nonsense, this guy said it as if it were true."

"In other words, he mastered the technology to manufacture the Ark Reactor?"

"Yes, this guy made the reactor on his body in an underground workshop... I have to say, this guy is quite capable, just not as good as me."

"Where is he?"

"He was arrested."

"Who?"

"It seems that he was extradited to the United States."

"Really... Then I wish you Good luck."

"What do you mean?"

"Idiot!"

"Hey, hey! What do you mean? ! ! "

"Don't you understand? You've been tricked! He's a Russian who committed a crime in Morocco, but was extradited to the United States... You're stupid!"

"Fuck! They're targeting the reactor technology in that guy's hands!"

"Hehe, not only that. I guess they also have your mecha technology."

"Impossible, they can't crack my technology!"

"Really?"

"Absolutely!"

"Again, good luck. Anyway, forget about your patent for reactor technology."
